Mr. Lewis said he had now concluded his case.

The City Solicitor thee proceeded to comment upon
the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of the
defendant.

Mr. Alderman WILSON—We have no evidence as
to deceased going up to bed. Before I make up my
mind in this case I wish to read through the whole
of the depositions taken here, as well as those before
the Coroner, and, as the preparation of them must
necessarily take a few days, I shall remand the pri-
soner for a week.

Thu prisoner was then remanded upon the former
bail.

WORSHIP-STREET.

George Tyssen, conductor of one of the Exhibition
omnibuses running to the Lower-road, Islington, was
charged before Mr. Hammill with the following scan-
dalous conduct towards one of his passengers :
Mr. Edward Hoey, proprietor of the Beehive
Tavern, in the New North-road, stated that about
eleven o'clock on the night of Monday, the 11th inst.,
he hailed the defendant near the Bank, and having
ascertained from him that the vehicle passed his
house, he was about to enter it, when the defendant
pushed him rudely on one side, and observing in an
insulting tone that he was intoxicated, told him that
he might rids outside if he pleased. There was not
the slightest ground for such a scandalous imputation,
and he insisted upon entering the vehicle, in which
there were only five passengers, but had no sooner
taken his seat than the defendant assailed him with
the most scurrilous epithets, and on his demanding
his number refused to exhibit his badge. He con-
tinued the same insulting behaviour throughout
the journey until he reached Hoxton Church, where
the other passengers alighted, and the defendant
peremptorily ordered him to get out also, although
it was at least half a mile from the end of the de-
fendant's destination. On his refusing to do so the
defendant renewed his offensive conduct, thrust out
his tongue, and made a disgusting noise with his
mouth, but proceeded a few yards further, when he
ordered the driver to turn the vehicle round, and again
insisted upon his getting out. To avoid any further
insult and annoyance he did so, although 200 yards
from his house, which the vehicle ought to have passed,
and again demanded a sight of the defendant's badge,
which the defendant still refused to exhibit, but he
succeeded between the gas lamps in obtaining the
number of the omnibus, and felt it a public duty to
adopt the present proceedings, although the driver had
twice called upon him to induce him to compromise
the case.
In answer to the charge the defendant entered into
a rambling statememt, the substance of which was
that the complainant was intoxicated, to which, he
added, his attention was directed by the other passen-
gers, and called the collector at the toll-gate to estab-
lish the defence, who deposed to hearing an observa-
tion from one of the passengers to that effect, and that
from the appearance of the complainant he believed him
to be intoxicated. The witness, however, admitted
that the omnibus was turned round in the manner de-
scribed, and proceeded no further, although about half
a mile short of the end of its journey.
The complainant here stepped forward, and after
indignantly repelling the aspersions of the defendant
and his witness, stated that the latter had committed
gross perjury, as he was the only passenger left in
the vehicle at the time, the whole of the other pas-
sengers having alighted at least 200 yards from the
toll-house.

Mr. B. bent Broomfield, a respectable tradesman at
Kingsland, was then called, and proved that the com-
plainant was perfectly sober on reaching his house on
the night in question, although greatly irritated at the
insulting conduct he described as having been prac-
tised towards him. _ _ _

Mr. HAMMILL said that he felt perfectly satisfied,
after hearing the evidence, that the charge of intoxi-
cation alleged against the complainant was totally
without foundation, and that the defendant had been
guilty of a most gross and insulting outrage, to mark
his sense of which he should commit him, without the
interposition of any penalty, for 21 days to the House
of Correction.
The defendant strongly entreated that the punish..
ment might be commuted for a pecuniary penalty,
but the magistrate refused to listen to the application,
and the defendant was conveyed away in the van.
