the additional sum required for attendance at the Bow•
street Court.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The new regula-
tions relating to cabmen and cab fares are likely
to produce for some time a considerable addition to
the ordinary business of the court, judging from the
number of summonses granted and applied for by drivers
and fares who were unable to settle their disputes
without a resort to authority. Among the summonses
granted was one against Lady Alderson, the wife of
Baron Alderson, on the ground that only is. was paid
for taking her ladyship from the Waterloo-station to
Park-crescent, Regent's park. The majority of the dis-
putes appear to arise from inability to decide at once
where the sixpenny fare ends.
Richard Case, jun., a cabdriver, was summoned
under the old act by Mr. Otway, M.P., for abusive
language.
The complainant said, he took the defendant's cab
from Sloane-street to Argyll-street, Oxford-street, and
paid the defendant is. The defendant wanted is. 6d.,
and followed him into the shop, and said his fare was
is. 4d. He told the defendant he believed his fare was
is., and tendered him his address. The defendant
made some remarks, winding up with telling him that he
was so gentleman, and then leaving the shop. He
followed the defendant out, saying he should complain
of such language, and for that purpose proposed to take
his number. The defendant repeated his offensive
language, and added that now he had a right to call
him a robber.

The defendant expressed contrition for using offensive
language.
Mr. Bingham said, the question of distance was not
before him. He had only to consider whether the
charge of using abusive language had been made out.
He was of opinion that abusive language had been used,
and he should therefore impose a fine of 40s. and costs
for the offence.

MD money was paid.
Fredrick Crampton, an omnibus conductor, was sum•
moned for abusive language to Mr. Frederick Lock, out-
fitter, of 90, Strand.

The complainant said the conductor demanded 6d.
for a threepenny fare, and because the imposition was
resisted the conductor called him a
Complainant said he would take the conductor's num-
ber for his insolence. The conductor would not show
his badge. Complainant tried to get a sight of the
badge, and in so doing the conductor injured his hand
by pressing it against the omnibus.
The defence was that the conductor had not behaved
as described.

Mr. Bingham was quite satisfied with the evidence
which had been brought forward in support of the
charge. He considered the case was of such an aggra-
vated character that he believed he was doing the public
and the prosecutor some injustice in not inflicting a
longer imprisonment on the defendant than 14 days.

SOUTHWARK.--Edward Franklin a grey-headed
old man, dressed in a shabby suit of black clothes, and
who described himself as the author of several religious
tracts in verse entitled " The Saints Eternal Rest,"
" The Pearl of Great Price," " Drops of Honey, &c.,
several of which were found upon him, was brought
before Mr. Combe, charged with creating a disturbance
in the Swan-street, National Schools, Newington, and
frightening all the children out of the school.
On his taking his place in the dock, Mr. Combe
asked him who he was, and how he obtained his liveli-
hood ?

He replied, " I am a gentleman, and am kept by the
clergy and magistrates to improve the condition of the
people. Look at my list, and you will see the names of
clergymen and magistrates who assist me with money to
carry on my labours."
A dirty bit of paper was here handed to the magis-
trate on which were scribbled the names of Mr. Bing-
ham, the magistrate of Marlborough-street Police-court,
Mr. Yardley, of the Thames Police-court, Mr. D'Eyn-
court, the Rev. Mr. Hussey, of the St. James's chapel,
Kennington-road, and other well known gentlemen.
Mr. Combe (to the prisoner)—You are a gentleman's
cadger, and this list clearly proves it, for not one of the
signatures are in the handwriting of the gentlemen men-
tioned.

Prisonei.—They certainly are not, but I put them
down at the time they assisted me. Mr. Bingham
knows I am a gentleman.
Mr. Combo—Perhaps he has committed you as a gen-
tleman ?

Prisoner—No; he gave me a half-crown, and so did
Mr. D'Eyncourt also give me money.
Mr. Combe—l don't believe that any of these gentle-
men ever gave you money. I am of opinion that you
are a regular cadger. I'll now hear the charge against
you. _

Mr. Abbott, the master of the schools in Swan-street,
said,—About 11 o'clock that morning the prisoner
entered Vie girls' school-room with a very consequential
air, and said he had the authority of the Inspector of
Schools to examine the children. His manner was so
extraordinary and excited that he frightened all the
children out of the school. He then created a disturb-
ance outside, and annoyed him so much that he was
compelled to give him into custody. The prisoner had
no authority to enter the schools, neither did he know
anything about him.
Mr. (Jombe (to the prisoner)—Where do you live 1
Prisoner—My private residence is at 9, Woodhouse-
place, Stepney-green, but I now live among the lowest
of society for a good purpose. I visit the poor, and try
to get all the bad women off the town.
Mr. Comte—l don't believe a word of it. You don't
go to a chilaren's school for that purpose.
Prisoner—l went there to inspect the schools and ex-
amine the children.

The constable who apprehended him said that, shortly
before he entered the school he went to a gentleman's
house in Trinity-street and begged assistance, but he
was refused.

Inspector Barry here informed Mr. Combo that the
prisoner knew Horsford, of the Mendicity Society. H.
said so when taken into custody.
Prisoner (vehemently)—l don't know Horsford, and
I never said so. I don't want any such acquaintance.
(Laughter.)

Mr. CoMbe was informed that the prisoner waited
upon Mr. A'Beckett at this court on the previous after-
noon, and solicited some money from him, at the same
time handing him the list produced. He then said
that he was a voluntary missionary, and went about to
collect money to pay for the printing of his tracts. Mr.
A'Beckett expressed his doubts as to his having been
paid money by the gentlemen whose names were on the
list, and refused to contribute anything.
Mr. Combe said, he had no doubt the prisoner was a
cadger, and that he was an impostor. It had been
clearly proved that be had created a disturbance in the
schools, which he had no right to enter, and that he had
annoyed the master; therefore he should order him to
find bail for his future conduct.
The magistrate clirec,ecl the letters and list to be sent
to the Mendicity Society for the perusal of their officers.
In default of bail the prisoner was consigned to one of
the cells at the rear of the court.

LAMBETH.—Elizabeth Marshall, a miserable-look-
ing object, was charged before Mr. Elliott with at-
tempting self-murder by swallowing a large dose of
laudanum.

Sarah B. Wallace said, the prisoner lived at her house
for about four months with a man whom she always
took to be her husband. The prisoner was a most in-
dustrious and hard-working woman, while the man was
a lazy and worthless fellow, who used to treat her with
the greatest brutality and unkindness, and she (witness)
felt perfectly satisfied that his ill-treatment had driven
the poor woman to the commission of the act,
The prisoner admitted that she had purchased and
swallowed twopennyworth of laudanum, and said she
was perfectly sick and tired of her existence.

M. Elliott remanded her to a future day for the at-
tendance of her friends.
