WORSHIP STREET.

COMMON INFORMERS V. THE QUEEN. —Yesterday a
tilted cart belonging to the Government Stationery
Office, came to this office with a supply of station-
ery, and was afterwards waiting opposite the door,
when Stowell, the common informer, came up, and after a
little reconnoitring, sought out the driver, and took him
into custody for driving a vehicle upon which there was not
a proper description of the owner as required by the
statute.

An elderly man, who gave his name Moody, was ac-
cordingly brought before Mr. G ROVE, the sitting magistrate.
Stowell informed the Magistrate that he had shortly be-
fore stopped the defendant as driver of a van upon which
there was no owner's name or address, but merely an in-
scription painted on the side of the tilt, in the following
words, viz.:—" Her Majesty's Stationery Office, James
Street, Buckingham Gate, Westminster." This, he con-
tended, was certainly not a compliance with the Act of
Parliament relating to such matters, in which there was an
express regulation as to the inscriptions for carts, &e., be-
longing to people of rank.
Mr. GROVE, alter some inquiry, said that, at present, he
should not detain the defendant, but allow him to depart,
and the infJrmer might have a summons against him. lie
would then have an opportunity of bringing proof of the
ownership.
