FRAUDS UPON CAB-DRIVERS.--A dashing
woman of the town, known by the nickname of "Puss' "
has been for some time in the habit of bilking cab-drivers,
who are rather green at their work, of their fares, and she
sometime. will ride about for six or seven hours, and then
slip away, aficr having stowed her driver with liquor at
four painful instances
of numerous public-houses. Three :-
of her skill in the practice of doing the cabs hay, lately
s
occurred. Indeed, it is believed that she is in tri;:pav Of
the Jarvies or hackney-coachmen, who, it is well known,'
;pre at open war with the cab-drivers. However that
may be, ere certainly is to be seen about CROCKFORD'S
and at the St. Join's7-7.0Q,d barracks often. On Friday
fortnight she hailed a lad who was dif-,y;pg tt and
after having gone about until the demand. amoUnted'iO
she slipped into the barracks, and all. inquiries after her
s-ere frgitless, The poor boy's suspicions bad been com-
pletely set to sleep by
her liberality giving him drops of
gin, and she partook of tee shiny herself with a freedom
that argued no idea of imposition. The master of the
driver gave no credit to tlna statement, and. locked him
up
in the watch-house upon a charge o,f, imulpm.eanour;
but
the boy's friends found that " Puss ! wed in a Street off
Yauxhall-road in style, and used so little ceremony with
her that she pq„iil the money. It appeared that she had
just returned Ironbitk:ing another cab. She usually gets
away after driving about to fashionable pla,cedi by going
into hotels or public-houses which have more than the usual
number of doors ; and she left one boy waiting for her
six hours at a door a low nights ago. When the boy in.
quired for her, the waiters abused hi,..,hi,..,awl said they ad-
emitted
no persons of the deSci:iption into the house; but
upon tooXing down the passage, he saw a door leading to
another street. The cab-drivers are to have a meeting,
for the purpose of devising the best means of escaping
such loss and vexation as "Puss" has subjected them to.
