but why not make it three instead of two?—( Laughter.)
Mr. Crouch said that when those smashers of wit,
dows came out they have a standing toast, " Success to
the merciful _Aldermen for their lenient sentences."

MA RYLEB ONE.

11/Liss Botenhain was summoned by Andrew Groves,
a ei:b-driver. for refusing to pay him his legal fare.

Andrew Groves said that he had driven Miss Boten-
ham and another voting lady from Titchfield-place to
Woueester-place, New-road, early in the evening, and
had called for them again at a quarter-past eleven, and
driven them back to Titeltfield-place. The fire was
81. one way and Bd. the other, and the same sum for
hack fare, which made altogether 2s. The young lady
had given hi►,, Is. Gd., and though he had called for the
remainder once in the morning and once in the evening,
ti, e money had not been given.
A Mr. Philip Janvers, at whose house the young
ladies had been paying a visit, informed Mr. Hardwick
that Miss II:Aeolian) was out of town, but that her sister
will was the other young lady referred to, was present
and would explain the matter.
Miss Eden Botenham, who appeared to have a con-
stitutional horror for cabmen and all "that sort of
people," explained to the Magistrate, that in the first
instance the cabman was asked, " Will you call for us
again at a quarter past eleven ?" and upon his saying
" Yes," Is. 6d. was given to him, thocgh this wag
twopence more than his fare. When he set them down
an the second occasion, he said the eighteen-pence was
not enough, he must have more, and was told to call
again. " We, of course," said Miss Botenham, " did
nut know anything about back fare,"and when he called
in the morning he asked four shillings ; but as they
were not up, he was told to call again. He called about
six the evening, but it being dark, and being otherwiee
engaged, and to talk to cabmen after dark being not
exactly the thing. he was again put off. The next
thing heard of him was the summons.

Mr. HannwicKinquiredhow Groves came to ask four
shillings? Groves said he charged this for his time of
waiting and tor the trouble they had given him ; and in
an,wer to a further question of why he had not ex-
plained about back fare to the ladies on the first occa-
sion, said that he would have done so to the ladies, but
that' ran into the garden and shut the gate, and it was
only by dint of ringing that he brought out the ser
vant, to whom he explained it, and v..ho told him to
call again.
air. HARDWICK said that by charging four shillings
Ite had put himself out of Court. He wished the cab-
man diAtittcly to understand that he never would allow
foe time intervening between the first and second con-
y( yance of a tare, unless there was a spacial agreement
in that effect. A person who desired a man to call for
hint at a certain hour, did so to save the trouble of send-
ing a servant out for a cab, and the cabman was at per-
fect liberty to take up another faro, and therefore suited

his"own convenience about calling again. Unless, there-
fore, there was a special contract to the effect that the
cabman was to wait and call at a certain hour, he would
never allow for this intermediate time.
The case was, therefore, discharged.
