Two sisters, Elizabeth and Ann Graham, were finally

of forgery, and were both committed to Newgate for trial.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday George Buckingham, a porter in the service
of the Earl of Essex, of No, 9, Belgrave-square, was
charged before Messrs. WHITE and GREGORIE with the
following impudent assault:-
141 m Esther Holden, a respectable married woman, of
No. 14, Cadogan-street, Chelsea, stated that on the previous
evening she went to Covent-garden Theatre, in company
with Mrs. Elwin, one of her lodgers, to see Miss Fanny
!Coale, and on their return home between twelve and
one o'clock, while passing through a dark street leading
from Belgrave•square to Cadogan.street, the defendant and
another person came up and caught hold of them, insist-
ing upon seeing them home, Being complete strangers.
they were very much alarmed, and having got to the door
of the house, they begged of the defendant to go away,
but be refused, and on the door being opened he rushed
into the house. Her husband then came out to see what
was the matter, and was assaulted and overpowered by
the defendant. Mr. Elwin, who was just going to bed,
hearing a noise, comedown stairs and pushed the defend.
ant into the street, who immediately called out for the
police-constable to give him in charge. The constable,
however, on being informed of the circumstances, took
the accuser into custody. Mrs. Elwin would have at-
tended, but she was in delicate health, and the fright bad
so alarmed her that she was ill in bed.

Mr. Holden confirmed the latter part of his wife's state.
ment, and said that the defendant struck him twice in the
passage._

The defendant, in reply, would own he had been in the
wrong, but was irritated at being shoved so abruptly out
of the passage. It was on account of Mrs. lialden and
the other lady looking in at their door as they passed that
he followed them.

Mrs. Holden denied this assertion in the inost positive
terms.

Mr. WHITE, after consulting with his colleague, ordered
the defendant to pay a fine of 31.
Mr. Lett, a gentleman of fortune residing in 'Wright's-
lane, Kensington, was summoned by Richard Rippon, the
driver of the hackney-coach No. 1,039, for refusing to
pay him 6d. the balance due for his legal fare.
A solicitor attended for Mr. Lett.

It appeared that between nine and ten o'clock in the
evening of the 6th instant, the coachman was engaged by
➢lr. Lett from the stand at Kensington to take him to his
!muse in right's-lane ;he gave him Is. 6d., and the
coachman demanded 2s. ; that was Is. for his fare, and
Is. for back carriage, which was refused.
On being cross-examined by the solicitor, the coachman
admitted that the distance from the stand at Kensington to
Mr. Lett's house and back again to the stand was only a
little snore than a mile, and if the gentleman had rode back
again in the coach to the stand, he could only have de-
manded Is. 6d.

Solicitor—Did not Mr. Lett say that if you were not
satisfied, he would send his servant back in the couch to
the stand ? Coachman—Certainly he did ; and I said that
I should be happy to take him, but I should then demand
another shilling.

The Solicit(); contended that the coachman, by his own
showing, was only entitled_ to Is. 6d.

The coachman said that Mr. Lett had paid bim ls. 6d.
for his fare ; consequently that journey was at an end, and
his fare was 2s. If he had not paid him the money, the
servant might have rode back to the stand, and he then
could only have demanded Is. 6d. ; but by paying him the
money, he would have made two fares of it.

The Solicitor said that it was the most monstrous argu-
ment he ever heard in his life.

Mr. G Rim OKI e frequently rode in a coach to Grosvenor-
place, and the fare was 2e. 64., with the back carriage ;
but if he ordered the coachman to drive on further into
Piccadilly,he was on the stones, and the fare was then only 2s.
'f he Magistrates were both clearly of opinion that the
coachman was right, and the 64. was paid, with the costs.
