POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

Jean Fauvre, a Frenchman, was placed at the bar
charged with stealing a gold bracelet, two pairs of sleeve-
links, and several small articles of wearing apparel from a
foreign hotel in Bloomsbury-square.
From the evidence it appeared that shortly after the pri-
soner took up his residence in the place a number of articles
of small value were continually being missed, but, on the
bracelet and other gold articles being lost, suspicion fell on
the prisoner, and he was accordingly taken into custody by
Sergt. Lambert, of the E division of police. On arriving
at the station-house the prisoner was searched, and under-
neath the lining of his bat the bracelet was discovered, and
in a box which also belonged to him other portions of the
missing property was found.
Sergt. Lambert said he had not had time to discover the
other portions of the stolen articles, but he had no doubt
he should be enabled to do so if a remand was granted.
The magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded
until this day week.

SERIOUS OBSTRUCTIONS AT RAILWAYS.-.-WIII. Morse,
a cab driver, was charged with unlawfully obstructing In-
spector Wingrave, of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway, in the execution of his duty.
Inspector Wingrave said—At a quarter-past seven last
night, on the arrival of the train from Paris, the defendant
with his horse and cab forced himself through a narrow
gateway close up to the platform. He told him he must go
away, but he refused to do so, and caused such an obstruc-
tion that several gentlemen's carriages were unable to pass
out. Witness ordered him to quit the company's premises,
and that he was liable to a penalty of £5 for neglecting to
do so, but he pretended not to hear and would not move
away, upon which witness called a police-constable and
gave him into custody.
In answer to questions from Mr. Paynter, witness said
the defendant, by the regulations of the company, had no
business where he was. He brought his cab right up to the
platform and caused a very serious obstruction. Witness
ordered him out when he was driving in, but he would not
listen to him, whipped his horse and nearly run him over,
and hurt his hand. Witness endeavoured to remove him,
and it was in doing so that his hand was hurt.
Defendant declared that the inspector told him he might
go in, and then ordered him out.
The inspector said this could not be, as it was part of his
duty to prevent cabmen going where defendant did. They
had had numerous cases of this sort lately, and several per-
sona had very narrowly escaped being run over through the
misconduct of cabmen. He ordered him out over and over
again, and he quite blocked up the traffic.

Mr. Paynter said it was a very serious thing to interfere
with the traffic at a railway in this manner, and defendant
was liable to a penalty £5. It was a disgraceful thing for
a cabman to go where he had no business and obstruct the
traffic and resist an inspector in this manner. He should
fine the defendant 40s. or send him for one month's im-
prisonment, and he hoped this would stop these proceed-
ings. If defendant were brought hers again he would take
his license away.
