BROOKER V. DEXTER.
This was an action brought by a cab-proprietor against
a carman to recover for certain damages to plaintiff's cab.
Dir. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, having stated the case,
added that the defendant's driver, after inflicting the in-
juries complained of, instead of pulling up, drove rapidly
away, and when the cabman caught him and held the
horse's head, the carman actually flogged both the horses
and the cabman most severely, and for this assault was
summoned, but thought it expedient to settle before going
into Court.

Plaintiff stated that on the 17th July, he was driving
through Fetter-lane towards Fleet .street, and he saw de-
fendant's man driving a two horse van coming the reverse
way. Defendant's man pulled out to pass a waggon, and
in doing so struck the cab, breaking it asunder, to the dis-
comfiture of a fare who was inside. The carman would not
stop until a policeman came up, and then he did not deny
the damage, but said it was an old cab and not worth any-
thing.
The fare was called, and stated that defendant's driver
alone was in fault.

Defendant's driver gave a general denial to the evidence
brought against him.

Mr. Buchanan—Now, did you not whip your horses as
you passed the cab ?
Witness—Yes, I did.

His Honour—Well, after that, Mr. Buchanan, I must
find for the plaintiff.
Mr. Buchanan—After the treatment my client's driver
received from the carman, I am instructed to apply for full
costs,

His Honour allowed the attorney and three witnesses.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BURGLARY. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN. John
M'Mahon, a tailor, of 5, South-row, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with burglariously breaking and entering the
dwelling of Mr. John Watts, oilman, 31, Greek-street,
Soho, and stealing a silver watch, a quantity of candles,
soap, and other articles.

Wood, 151 C, said about four o'clock that (Thursday)
morning while in Greek-street, he saw the fanlight over
the shop door of Mr. Watts', oilman, open, and knowing
that it had been closed before he suspected that some one
had got into the shop by that means. He, immediately
finding the shop door fast, knocked at the private door, and,
while doing so, the prisoner rushed out of the shop doer
into the street. He seized him, and asked what he was
doing in the shop, and he said "Nothing." He then took
him into custody.

Sergeant Henry Atwell Allen, 20 C, said he found that
the prisoner had entered the shop by forcing off the fan-
light from the hinges. The shop was in a state of great
disorder, and near the door were two large bags full o
various articles packed up ready for removal.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was there not a light cart close by f
Sergeant Allen—Not in this case The prisoner did not
deny doing it.

Mr. John Watts, oilman, of 31, Green-street, said he
closed up his shop at 11 o'clock, and the place was then
quite safe. He left the fanlight as he had done for the past
six months, open a few inches, but not enough for a person
to get through. He found the place in the greatest dis-
order, when called down by the police, and the prisoner
had stuck a lighted candle in a cask of oil, and might thus
have caused the place to have been burnt down. He also
found that he had been feasting on some bread and jam—
having consumed half a pot.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for trial.
One ortwo cases of thieves entering shops by means of fan-
lights being left insecurely fastened have lately come to the
knowledge of the police.

SOUTHWARK.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Betsy Sullivan, an orange girl,
was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from the
person of M. Francis Lemasle, a French gentleman, who is
at present staying at the Half Moon Hotel, High-street,
Borough.

From the evidence of the complainant, who was examined
through an interpreter, it appeared that about one o'clock
on the previous night he got out of a cab at the door of the
Half Moon Hotel, when he was accos ed by the defendant
and another female, who asked him for charity. He put
his hand into his trousers pocket for the purpose of giving
her some money, when she snatched his watch from his
pocket and with the other girl ran away. The complainant
gave the defendant into custody, but her companion
escaped.
Police-constable 196 M asked for a remand, as he believed
that he would be able to discover the woman who had run
away.

The defendant denied the charge, and was remanded
until Saturday, on which day the complainant purposes to
return to France.
