THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1854,

POLIOE INTELLICiENOE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Robert Jenkins, driver of cab
number 3,617, was summoned before Mr. Alderman
Hunter for plying for hire in the City, his vehicle not
being in a proper state for the conveyance of passen-
gers, and unfit for public use.
George King, a constable of the metropolitan police,
No. 199 H, said—On the morning of the 26th ult. I
inspected the cab of which the defendant was the
driver, and found that the inside lining was torn in four
places, one of which was upwards of two feet in length,
another upwards of a foot. I pointed out to him at the
time that his cab was unit for use.
Alderman Hunter asked the defendant what reply he
had to make to the charge.
Defendant—l was driving for a man who has 14 or 15
good cabs. This was an excellent cab, but some mis-
chievous person whom I had carried as a fare tore the
lining with either a stick or an umbrella.
Alderman Hunter—You should have taken care to
have had it repaired. Every person who hires a public
carriage has a right to hare it in such a state as to
justify 'aim in riding in it.
Inspector Tarleton said that this was the first com-
plaint that had been made of a cab belonging to the
master of the defendant being unfit for public use.
The defendant was fined 2s. and the cost of the sum-
mons, making altogether ss.
Thomas Robinson, driver of cab No. 1,626, was also
summoned for plying for hire in the City with a vehicle
unfit for public use.

The same constable as in the former case preyed that
the lining of the defendant's cab was torn nearly all the
way across, to such an extent as to hide the Stamp-office
number, but was sound in other respects.
The defendant was fined 2s. and costs.
Several other cabmen were also fined for not having
the number of their cabs exhibited therein.
Alderman Hunter requested that the press would ac-
knowledge the receipt of the following contributions to
the Patriotic Fund :—From Messrs. Johnson, 101. 10s. ;
Henry Johnson, Esq., 101. 10s. ; Thomas \Vootten,
Esq., 51. ; H. H. Collins, 11. 10s. 4d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Frederick of `Neil
was brought up for further examination, for having in
his posses-ion a plated key presumed to be' the property
of her Majesty, and stolen from Windsor Castle.
Police-sergeant Rogers said that in addition to ob-
taining further evidence respecting the key, he bad
ascertained that a large number out of 56 duplicates
found upon the prisoner related to property stolen at
various times from the sale rooms of some of the leading
anctioners at the west-end.
.Tohn Roberts, porter to Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkin-
so, aectioneers, No. 3, Welling-street, Strand, said the
plated key and a clock were sent to the rooms by the
late Mr. Edward Martin to be sold by auction on the
23d August, 1853. The property was on view two dcys,
and the day previous to the sale the key was missing.
The key, which has " George III." for the wards, in the
key in question.
The prisoner, in defence, called his father, who said
that his son showed him the key about a year ago, and
asked him what would be the expense to replate it, as a
person had given him the job.
Evidence was then given with respect to property
stolen from different auction rooms, and which was
shown to have been pledged by the prisoner.
The magistrate said he had decided to commit the
prisoner, but would remand him for a week further, in
order to obtain fresh evidence, if possible, into the ex-
tent of his operations.

MARYLEBONE.—.Mr. ylenry lingle, Clayton, re-
siding at 21, Charles-street, Westbourne-terrace, Bays-
water, and who was stated to be the son of Sir William
Clayton, was charged on a warrant with having violently
assaulted one of his female servants, named Maria Power.
Mr. Handley, managing clerk to Mr. Foley, solicitor,
attended for complainant.
Complainant deposed that she had been in the service
of defendant as housemaid, and that on the 19th ult. a
plumber came to the door, and when he asked her if a
little dog which ran towards him would bite, she told
him that it would not ; and upon that assurance he en-
tered the house. Defendant then said to her, "Did
you say that my dog wouldn't bite ?" and en her reply-
ing in the affirmative, he gave her a kick which caused
her great pain. On the 24th (last Tuesday week) he
told her to go upstairs to make his bed, and after he had
opened the bedroom door to let her into the apartment,
he, without saying anything, gave her two severe kicks
upon the right thigh. She was so much injured that she
was compelled to go to a surgeon.
A surgeon's certificate was produced and handed to
Mr. Broughton; it, set forth that complainant was suf-
fering from severe contusions on the thigh, caused no
doubt by kicks.

The defendant, who stated that he had been an officer
in the army, admitted having kicked the complainant,
adding that she must have given him some provocation,
or he should not have done it.

The case was ultimately arranged by the defendant
paying 51. to the complainant as a compensation for the
assault, and for wages due.

WESTMINSTER.—John, Edwards, alias Healson, a
labouring man, was charged with being a deserter from
the 91st Foot.

Robert Horton, a private of the Dist, stated that the
defendant was at the William the Fourth, in Gardener's-
lane, on the previous night, intoxicated, when he told
him he should take him into custody for having deserted
from that regiment. Defendant declared he was nor the
man witness had mistaken him for, and that he had
never enlisted in the army. Witness had enlisted de-
fendant himself, in the name of Healson, at eight o'clock
in the evening of the 10th ult., and gave him the usual
shilling. Witness had subsequently served a notice at
the address defendant had given, but he never appeared
to go before the surgeon.
Defendant most positively denied that he had ever
enlisted, and said it was not very likely he should have
done so, as he was in full employment, earning 1/.
a-week, and had been for some time at work at a club-
house at the west end of the town. He could distinctly
affirm that he was elsewhere at the time described by
those who were in company with him.

Mr. Arnold was evidently about to adjourn the case
to give him an opportunity of doing so, when upon di-
recting his attention to the enlistment act he observed
that as there was prima facie evidence of his enlistment
he must commit him, and leave the authorities to decide
the matter.

Defendant was committed accordingly, to remain in
custody until an order is sent to the prison from the
War•office.

LAMBETH.—Mr. Jonathan, Keen, the owner of the
saw mills on the west side of the Waterloo-road, ap-
peared to answer to an information laid against him by
order of Lord Palmerston, charging that he did on the
10th day oflast month unlawfully use a furnace not con-
structed so as to consume or burn its own smoke, con-
trary to the statute 16th and 17th Vict., cap. 128, and
for which offence ho had rendered himself liable to a
penalty not exceeding 51. nor less than 40s.

- Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Jarman,
from the office of the solicitor for the Treasury, attended
for the Crown to prosecute ; and Mr. Josoph Solomon
appeared on behalf of the defendant.

Mr. Keen pleaded "Not guilty " to the information.
Various witnesses residing in the neighbourhood of
Mr. Keen's saw mills were then called, who described
the thick black smoke emitted from the defendant's
chimney to be a most intolerable nuisance. It was most
destructive to their furniture and health, and when the
wind blew in a particular direction they could not keep
their windows open for a single moment. Altogether
the nuisance was of such a character that they should
be compelled to leave their houses unless it was abated.
One of two of the witnesses, however, admitted that
latterly it was not so bad as it had been.

Mr: Solomon, on the part of the defendant, urged
that it was impossible, in such a business as that of his
client, to prevent the smoke complained of, and he had
witnesses in attendance to prove that as yet no adequate
remedy bad Leen discovered.

Mr. Elliott, however, not appearing to be convinced
of the alleged impossibility, and stating his decided opi-
nion that the existence of a serious nuisance had been
fully proved, Mr. Solomon engaged that, if time were
allowed, his client would adopt one of the patented con-
trivances which had been spoken of by a witness during
the investigation.
On this understanding, the summons was allowed to
stand over for a month.

WANDSWORTIL—Thomas Wild, a lane° corporal
tho 6411 Dragoon Guardo,' Aationd at Solailigto,

was charged with assaulting police-constable William
Chambers, while in the execution of his duty.
The prisoner, who was in full uniform, and wore a
good-conduct badge, said the officer came up to him
about 9 o'clock OR uesday evening, in the road between
Hammersmith-bridge and the Boylean Arms, and asked
him for his pass. He (prisoner) told him there was no
occasion to show it. The constable then seized hint by
the collar, and he certainly did resist, as he did not like
to be dragged off to a station like a felon.
_ _

Mr. Paynter thought it very strange that a constable
should interfere with a soldier in full uniform at such an
hour of the evening. It was the first case of the kind
he had ever beard of, and he should like to know if a
constable had any order to act in that manner.
Sergeant Underhill, the acting inspector at the sta•
tion, said he had never heard of such an order, nor
were the police in the habit of stopping soldiers in their
uniform at such an hour of the evening. If a soldier
was seen at the turn of the sight then they interfered
with him, not otherwise.
A sergeant of the regiment gave the prisoner an excel-
lent character, and stated that on the night in question
he had a pass till 12 o'clock.
_ _

Mr. Psynter said he should not think of committing
the defendant, and dismissed the case.

SOUTHWARK.—Dennis Foley, a lad about 19 years
of age, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with
uttering a counterfeit florin to Mary Wells.
The complainant, a widow, said the prisoner came
into her shop, and called for half an ounce of tobacco.
She supplied him, and he tendered her a two-shilling
piece, which she changed. As soon as he was gone she
carefully examined it, and found it to be a counterfeit.
The prisoner had been in her shop about a month
age, and after he left else found bad money in her
till.

The prisoner said he never passed any bad money
before, and as for the florin he thought it was a
good one.

Mr. Coombe asked whether the prisoner was known
as an utterer.

The constable replied that he did not know him.
Mr. Combe said he should remand him until Satur.
day, on which day the solicitor of the Mint will attend,

THAMES.—A gentleman connected with the house
of Wackerbarth and Co. shipowners, solicited the ma-
gistrate's advice under the following circumstances.
The applicant stated that two or three days after their
ship Winterthur left Calcutta the captain discovered
that two men belonging to the crew had smuggled two
native women into the ship and stowed them away be-
fore the vessel left Calcutta. The captain having a fair
wind for England did not think it right to waste time
and return to Calcutta, but on reaching St. Helena he
made application to the authorities for permission to land
the Indian women there, but he was not permitted to
do so unless he gave security that they should not be-
come chargeable to the island, and paid their passage
back to Calcutta. This the captain did not feel justified
in doing, and he brought the two women to London.
They were still on board and their paramours with
them, and neither of the females seemed disposed to stir
from their comfortable quarters.
Mr. Yardley said the smuggling of the women on
board the Winterthur was a most impudent proceeding,
and he should certainly recommend the owners to set
off the expense of bearding the two women on the
voyage against their wages and pay the men nothing at
all.

The applicant—What are we to do with the women ?
Mr, Yardley—You must turn them out of the ship.
Calculate what their provisions cost on the voyage, and
make that a set-off against the wages of the seamen.
The women have no claim on you. You are not bound
to send them back to India.

After some further conversation the applicant with
drew.
