A CABMAN ON CABMEN.

" Cabmen," he began, " are neither worse than
anybody else, nor yet better. There's good and
bad amongst 'em, like in a basket of eggs ; and there
must be nearly eleven thousand of them, according
to the badges issued. The first thing cabmen have
got to do is to find a cab, and here they've got a
pick of about ten thousand.; P'raps three thousand
of these cabs are Hansoms, and all the rest four-
wheelers ; but as some of the men work at night,
and others in the day, all the cabs are not on the
road, and only six thousand, perhaps, are paying
duty as licensed carriages. Some of these
have got what we call the six - day
plate and they only run for six dap.
Others have got the seven•day plate, and they re
Sunday cabs. The plate costs a sovereign, which
we call the ' one pound racket,' and the duty is a
shilling a day extra. We used to pay five pound
for the plate, and two pound duty, in one lump.
All this money- goes to Government. Well, as I
said before, the first thing cabmen have got to
do is to find a cab, and they haven't got to
look amongst many proprietors. All the cabs
are in very few hands—l needn't mention names
—and the owners do pretty well what they like
with the drivers. Of course a man needn't drive
a cab unless lie likes, but lots of them do like,
and something must be done to get a living. The
young fellow: take a great fancy to the Hansoms,'
because they look smart, and run easy. Their high
wheels push 'em on, while the low four-wheeler al-
ways drags. As to their earnings, that depends. A
Hansom is very good in fine weather; and during
April, May, and June, before the people begin to go
out of town, they do very well at road-work. They're
of no use for families and heavy railway work, and
the regular Hansom cabman Imdly understands
ladies and children. They make money at what we
call mouthing' and putting on,' which means
loitering along the roads, and playing shout a club-
house, or some large building. Sotne of the police
are very sharp upon this game, and the driver gets
summoned before he knows where he is. The driver
of a Hansom has to earn fourteen or sixteen shil-
lings a day in summer for his owner, besides pay-
ing his yard-money'" (stable charges), " about
' four shillings, before ho begins to pick up anything
for himself."—.Dickens's " All the Year Round."
