CAUTION TO CUB 0 IVNERS.—JOhn Cotton, of SUN-
ditch, was summoned fur using a cab iu the public streets
for hire and gain, after it had baeu pronounced by Mr.
West, Inspector of Hackney Carriages, to be iu a defec-
tive and dirty state. The excuse of the defendant's son,
who app:ared for him, was that the cab was repaired in
his father's own factory, after notice had been given by
the inspector, before it was sent out again.
Mr. West, and another witness, said the cab was ad
judged to be dirty, dilapidated, and unfit for public use
on the 11th of May. On tha 19th of the same month it
was seen again iu use, and in a much worse state than it
was on the 11th.

Mr. Paget said there had beon a wilful defiance of the
law, nod that the defendant was liable to a penalty of £3
per day fir every day he used the e.tb after the Inspector
had given notice. Ho fined the defendant £3, which he
paid.

AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE.--Mary Sullivan, a young
woman, was charged with stealing- a purse containing
2s. 6d. from the pocket of Mr. George Doggett, a
faaner from Cambridgeshire, and at present residing
at 63, Lucas-street, St. George-in-the-East. The farmer
was taking a walk in the Commercial-road, when the pri-
soner, and "another lady," accosted him, and entered into
conversation with him. The prisoner paid marked atten-
tion to him, and had not walked alongside of him many
yards when he found the prisoner s hand in his left-hand
trousers pocket. He m:ssed his purse directly afterwards,
and accused her of stealing it. She indignantly denied
having done so, and ha gave her in charge. At the station
house, after the prisoner was charged and locked up, the
farmer found his purse and money in his right haud coat-
pcket. Ile did not know how it came there.
Mr. Paget You have accused this woman wrongfully,
and she is discharged.
