POLICE 1N TELL IGEN CE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRUELTY TO CAB Rouses—Thomas Jordan, cab-driver,
badge 10,126, was charged by Mr. Win. Love, chief officer
of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, with having cruelly ill-treated and tortured a
horse.
Mr. Love attended to prosecute.

Mr. Guest, officer of the Royal Society, said he was
passing through Berkeley-square when he saw the defend-
ant driving a horse and cab, and noticing the restless move-
ments of the horse, he'had the defendant stopped, and on
the pad on the horse's back being lifted it quivered, and
showed signs of pain. There was a wound on the top of
its back larger than a crown-piece, and it appeared to be
deep, and blood and matter came from it. The defendant
appeared to have been drinking, and would not alter the
harness so as to keep it from the wound, but admitted, in
his own words, "it was rather too bad," and that he was
not aware of it. It was impossible that he (defendant)
could be unaware of the state of the horse.

The defendant said he was sorry he had taken the horse
out. He had never been before a magistrate till then, and
hoped he would be dealt leniently with.
Mr. Love said he felt bound, in justice to the defendant,
to say that since he had taken out the summons he had
ascertained that defendant was a respectable man, and bore
a good character for his treatment of horses ; but the society
had received so many complaints of cruelty by cabmen,
that he had felt it incumbent upon him to came forward.

The magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) after indignantly re-
marking on the cruel practice of working horses in such a
state, fined the defendant 10s. and costs, the defendant's
character saving him from a heavier penalty.
ANOTHER CASE.—William Haydon, an omnibus driver,
bearing the badge 11,096, was also charged by Mr. love
with having cruelly tortured a horse by working it in an
omnibus whilst suffering from wounds with which the
harness was coming in contact. . . _

The evidence of the society's officers went to show that
the horse was suffering from wounds on its shoulders and
withers of a very bad character. _ .

The Magistrate said that omnibus men and cabmen
seemed to have no feeling at all, and they used their horses
as though they were mere machines. He should fine the
defendant 10s., and he had better take care not to come to
that court again on a similar charge.
