LAMBETH.

On Saturday, Robert Ball, a stripling youth, and son of
Mr. Matthew Ball, the proprietor of a number of Brix-
ton omnibuses, appeared to answer to a summons, charg-
ing him with four distinct charges—viz., one for an as-
sault, a second for using abusive language, a third for
loitering during the journey, and a fourth for acting as
a conductor without being duly licensed to do so.
From the statement of Mr. Twigg, a professional gen-
tleman, it appeared that, on Tuesday evening last he got
into an omnibus at the Elephant and Castle, of which
the defendant was the conductor, to proceed to Brixton-
hill, where he had an appointment to dine. The vehicle
proceeded pretty regularly on its journey for about a
mile and a halt; when it changed horses. Soon after
the driver drew up for a minute or two, but drove on
for 200 or 300 yards, when he drew up in front of the
Crown and Anchor public-house, by direction of the
defendant. Here the defendant got down from behind,
and telling the coachman that there was only one pas-
senger inside, proceeded towards the public-house. The
coachman got off the box, and was about to follow his
master, when he (Mr. Twigg) remonstrated with him,
and told him that unless the vehicle immediately pro-
ceeded on its journey, he should get out and get into
another omnibus. Finding that his remonstrance had
not the desired effect, he at once got out of the vehicle,
and was proceeding on foot, when the defendant came in
front of him, caught hold of him, and with lofty and
menacing language insisted upon being paid his fare.
Complainant, after taking the number of his badge, 5,679,
gave him sixpence. This, however, was not the only
inconvenience he experienced, for the driver and conduc-
tor of the next omnibus passing, though comparatively
empty, refused to take him, having " received the office,"
as it was called, from the defendant and his coachman.

The defendant acknowledged that he had insisted
upon his fare, and had refused the card of the gentleman
because he did not know him. He denied committing
any assault or using improper language, and called two
witnesses in support of his statement.

..
Mr. ELLIOTT commented with some severity upon the
defendant's conduct, and concluded by imposing a pe-
nalty of 205., and 2s. costs for the assault only.
The leniency of the sentence surprised every person
present, and none perhaps more than the defendant him-
self, who instantly paid the money, and was discharged.
_HAMMERSMITH.

THE SWELL MOlL—Three fashionably-dressed men,
who gave the names of William Barnet, tobacconist, of
No. 7, White Lion-place, Paddington ; Gem ye Davis,
of St. Pancras-road, Somers Town ; and James Wean,
who declined to give his address, were placed at the bar
before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, on a
charge of having committed a daring robbery at the City
Barge public •house, Strand on the Green, Chiswick.
Mr. Robinson, solicitor, of Hatton-garden, attended for
the prisoners Barnet and Davis. It appeared that on
the previous evening, between five and six o'clock, the
prisoners went into the above public-house, and were
met by Mrs. Richardson, the wife of the landlord, at the
foot of the stairs leading to the front room on the first
floor, which is a public room. They ordered a glass of
cold gin and water, and a glass of ale, with which they
were supplied. While they were in the front room,
Miss Richardson, who was dressing in a back room
leading out of her parent's bed-room, on the same floor,
heard footsteps, and an attempt was then made to open
the outer bedroom door by turning the handle. She
subsequently heard the door forced open, and being
alarmed, hastened out of her own room, locking the door
after her. On getting below she gave an alarm, when
the three men suddenly decamped, and the bedroom be.
ing searched, the drawers were found to have been
opened, and a gold watch was missed, also twenty
shillings in silver. The fellows were pursued and taken
at Hammersmith, when M'Lean threw the watch behind
him. Skeleton keys and a jemmy were also found upon
them.

They were remanded, as other charges are expected
to be preferred against them.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.—OU Friday
afternoon as Mr. Perkins, a livery-stable keeper of Rus-
sell-street, Covent garden, was proceeding along High-
street, with a cart, a woman was standing in the middle
of the street talking to another, vi ho had a little girl
about four years old playing by her side. The child in
running about cam! in contact with the whet Is of the
cart, and before Mr. Perkins had titre to pull up, the
wheel passed over the child's thighs, breaking one in two
places, and lacerating the other dreadfully. The little
suffer was instantly conveyed to Jliddlesex Hospital, but
recovery is scarcely looked for.
STI EEP FROM SCOTLAND.—On Friday afternoon the
steam ship Royal Adelaide arrived alongside the St.
Katherine's Dock Steam Packet Wharf, from Leith,
with upwards of 500 sheep on board, and about 60
passengers. The importation of sheep and oxen from
various parts of Scotland has been of a very extensive
nature during the present season.
[ A DVERTISEMENT.3—ALL HEAVY, SLEEPY, DROWSY,
AND APOPLECTIC SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED DT HOLLO-
WAY'S PlLLS.—There is often much danger to be apprehended from
attacks of paralysis or apoplexy, whenever any of the foregoing
symptoms hang about the system for soy length of time. Such a
state of things indicates much derangement of the stoinsen and ilfer'
and clearly demonstrates a prseat want of purity in the blood. When
this is the case, not a moment should be lost in taking a few • strong
doses of these celebrated pills, which so thoroughly cleanse the
bowels and stomach, while they act upon the liver and other
origins, and thus restore the blood to its pristine purity.—Rold at
