LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLORS', COURT, Arnii 17

Mr. COMBE told the defendant that there was no
such fare on the book as eighteenpence, although cab-
Mel frccoeutly made that demand. He had grossly
committed himself by refusing to take his fart and not
producing his badge when called upon to do so, and he
,convicted him in the penalty of 2.05., informing Mr.
Woodward that he was entitled to half the penalty.
George Jukes, a gardener, residing nt Balls-pond,
Islington, was placed at the bar, charged by Eden Bans-
;rove, a pretty-looking young woman, with having in-
termarried with her, whilst his former wife was living.
The proseeutrix having been sworn, stated that she
resided at Northold, Harrow. The prisoner, about 12
months ago introduced himself to is'A. as a single man,
add paid his addresses to her, and they were married,
and the result was the birth of a child. The prisoner
deserted her and the infant, and sl.e was afterwards in-
formed that he was a married man with a family, and
he was living with his wife at B ills. pond, Islington,
when she came to London and iTave him into custody.

Police Constable, No. 18, N division, proved having
tAken the prisoner into custody. When, prior to being
informed of the charge, he said, " I know what you
want me for, I cln't keep two of them."

The prisoner did not deny the charge, but said tha
the proseeutrix had her husband alive when he marriec
with her.

Prosecutrix—Yes ; but my husband was transported
for life, and I am not aware that he is alive.
Mr. COMBE told the prisoner that he was not war-
ranted in marrying the prosecutrix, and he. woul I com-
mit him for trial. A new point of law might be raise 1
upon the subject. but that would ba left for the con-
sideration of the Judges before whom he would he tried.
John Seymour, the driver of the cabriolet, No. 427,
and John King, another cab driver, was placed at the
bar, charged with having driven over Rebecca Emmett,
an elderly woman residing at the Camden-town Aim!.
houses.

It appeared in evidence that on Wednesday night
last, about nine o'clock, the prisoners were on the box,
whilst Ki.ig was driving at a furious rate in Tottenham•
court-road, when the injured woman, who was crossing
the road, was knocked down and run over, by which
she was seriously injured, and taken to the North Lon-
don Hopital, where she now lies in a dangerous state.
The prisoner Seymour was drunk at the time, and King
had been drinking, but was not so drunk. They had
had no badges with them. The p:isoners said they
were driving at the rate of six miles an hour, and they
called out to the woman before she was run over.
The MAGISTRATE informed them that in the
event of the woman's de tth they would be involved
in a serious predicament. Seymour hail no right to
have another person on the box with him, or to deliver
up his reins, and their being in the performance of an
illegal act would operate against them.
They wore remanded.

orshipful the Mayor of Dover. and Mr. William • H
Payn, solicitor and Town-councillor, were graciously
received by his Royal Highnes3 Vie Duke of Orleans
at the entrance to the ball-room ; and the Consul re•
turned thanks to his Royal Highness in the names of
the inhabitants of Dover, more particularly of those
present, for his very kind and flattering inritation ; to
which the Prince replied by expreaing the pleasure he
felt at receiving their visit.
The hotels were crowded, but private apartments
were procured after some inquiry. We cannot allow
this opportunity to pass without remarking upon the
kind feelings which prompted the French Prince to
invite the attendance of a co:npany of English to
partake in the amusements and sociality of French
society. When we reflect on the late ebullition of
irritated feeling against this nation, and contrast it
with the pol teness, respect, and cordiality which the
French offi.ters evinced in welcoming their 'English
rivals in arms, the reflection is truly gratifying. It ap-
peared as if they not only considered then entitled to
respect, as fellow-soldiers, but honoured them as the
representatives (as in fact they were) of a nation en-
titled to be received with all the consideration of equals'
in arts, as well as military glory.
The Duke of Orleans, previous to the reriew, an-
nounced to the officers of the camp, that he . hoped to
see some British officers present at it ; and that he
was quite sure it could only be necessary to name this
circumstance to them to insure the foreign officers a
cordial reception, and the utmost attention and civility
being shown them. The intimation was well received ;
And although, unfortunately, the opportunity was not
afforded them of acting according to his Royal High-
ness's wishes, no occasion was lost by them, during the
stay of the British officers at St. Omers, of showing
them every attention within their power ; as frequent
dinner and breakfmt invitations were sent them.

The Duke of Orleans was dressed in a military
uniform blue coat and red trowsers, with a star aid
red.,:ribliald. He is a tall, handsome, and elegantly-
formed person ; his manners and address appear to win
all hearts, and it is quite evident that the French are
proud of their Prince—and with good reason. His
cheerfulness and politeness exhibited itself in a variety
of ways ; such as in his affability to his aides-de. temp
and officers. and his cordiality to every one--greeting
them with almost fraternal feeling—seeking out his ac-
quaintances—a conversation with one,---a kind word to
all. During the garopade3 his good humour evinced
itself by signalling to the musicians to keep quicker
time, Plus vile, plus, vile and, suiting the action to
the word, the poor musicians and their leader could
scarcely keep pace with the animation of the Heir
Presumptive to the throne. The dancers in endea-
vouring to keep time were well nigh dropping,
and one English officer fell in the chase, drag-
ging his lady, but was soon rescued by French
help. To Miss Court, daughter of our worthy Alder-
man, his Royal Highness caine up, and goo,l-huinour-
edly inquired for whom she was looking ; and on her
replying for her sister, " W," said he, " I'd go and
fetch her," and immediately went in search. Another
time he despatched an aide-de-camp, who was keeping
guard at the sortee of the supper-room, upon a mef-
sage, and remarked, "Oh I'll keep this post ;" and ac-
cordingly acted the sentinel, until another volunteer
aide-de-camp offered to take the place, when the Prince
good-humouredly remarked, " Oh, will you ? then I'll
quit." Tile Prince de Joinville wore a heard and mous-
tache, and was dressed in a naval uniforn. He joined
equally with his brother in encouraging the dancers, and
danced repeatedly in the quadrilles with perfect :ree-
dom and politeness of manner.
The prepAratioas and fittings-up for the Fete, toge-
ther with the ornaments, cost 20,000 francs ; and the
proceeds of their sale, after it was cis e-, and with 3,000
francs besides, were liberally given by the Duke to the
poor of St, t3,-;:ers.—Dover Chronicle.
