UNION-HALL.

A cab-driver stated to the Bench that a female, er
parently in a dying state, was put into his carriage at
the west-end of the town, and he was desired to drive
her to Union-street. On arriving at that place the
woman was speechless, and he took her to the Work'
house. He was carrying the poor creature into tba
house, when a policeman came up to his cab, mount'
it, and drove it to the green-yard. On applying at tb°
station-house the inspector gave him an order far the
return of the vehicle, which the keeper of the yard re'
fused to accede to, unless he paid him five shillings'
The cab had not been there more than ten minutes. a
The Magistrate said the policeman had acted beyol3,o
his duty in taking the cab away without inquiry, and 1°
charge was exorbitant for its detention.
The Clerk said that the policeman was fineable f°r
driving without a licence.
The Inspector nn duty told the Magistrate that the
man acted according to the direction of the Cosill',lr
sinners, who said that cabs without drivers should
taken to the yard.
The Magistrate granted a summons against the Per•
ties for illegally detaining the cab.
