MARYLEBONE.

At the evening sitting on Tuesday, William Montague,
Thomas Newman, William Batty, George Croft, and
George Dent, postboys in the employ of Mr. Newman,
Regent-street, Mr. Yeomens, Wilmot-street, Brunswick-
square, and others, were brought up in custody and
placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged with having
by furious driving injured in a dreadful manner an old man
(name at present unknown), who is now in the hospital, with
but little chance of recovery. From the evidence gone into
it appeared that a number of youths left Harrow in six
postchaises for town in order to spend the Easter holidays
with their relations, and that the prisoners being desired by-
the said youths to go on at a spanking rate whipped accord-
ingly their horses, which proceeded along the road at. an
'alarming speed. On arriving near the Red Lion, Pailding-
ton, the off hind wheel of the foremost vehicle came in vio-
lent collision with a cart, which was upset, and the driver,
a man about sixty years of age, precipitated from his scat
to the ground with great force ; the post-boy, whose chaise
was also upset, had his left leg also dreadfully fractured ;
and one of the horses (both of which fell) sustained consi-
derable injury. The poor old man was, together with the`
post-boy, removed without loss of time to the hospital, when
the former was at once pronounced by the snrgeon to be;
owing to bruises and internal hurts, in a state of extreme
danger, but the latter is likely to do well.
On behalf of some of the accused Iv.ail was offered, but
the magistrate declined to accept it, us fatal consequences
would in all probability ensue irorn their misconduct.
The whole of them were remanded until Friday next (to-
morrow.)
