of Mr. Collins, cab proprietor, was charged before Mr.

The prisoner replied that he took up two gentlemen

the cab when it was up,et
The prisoner replied that they were, and that they
tumbled out on the road.
Mr. Fell—What became of them

stock-hill, and the cab came in collision with a gentle-

hurt.
