CLERBEN WELL. THE PERAMBULATOR Nui•
SINCE.—An elderly gentleman, of apparently a rather
excitable character, applied to Mr. Corrie under the fill.
lowing circumstances :—The applicant said: I wish to
know, Sir, whether I shall be justified in giving the
parties I meet with perambulators into custody. They
are a great nuisance, and it is only a few days since that
my wife, while walking in Islington, had her dress torn.
The nuisance is very great, and every day is on the
increase.

Mr. Corrie said the applicant had better go to the
station and see the inspector on duty there. Wtth re-
gard to the tearing of the lady's dress, he should advise
him to obtain the name and address of the party, and
summon her to the County Court for the damage. He
thought the pavements were pretty wide in Islington,
and that it was for the benefit of the children's health
that they should get out into the air.
Applicant—Well, I don't know that. When I had
young children, and there were six of them, I used, at
least my wife used, to keep them in the drawing-room,
or let them go out at the back of the house.
It was here stated in court that the matter had been
brought before the vestry.
Applicant—Yes, I am aware of that, having made in-
quiries at the office of Mr. Leyton, the Vestry clerk,
and I understand that that body has determined not to
interfere, they all being " family men."
The applicant, who said he had nothing to occupy his
time, and that he was determined to put down the
nuisance, thanked his worship and retired.

WESTMINSTER.—CAB CASE.-Mr. Jonathan J.
Richardson, M.P. for Lisburn, attended at this court
to have the magistrate's decision respecting a cab fare.
Mr Richardson said that he had hired a cab that
morning opposite the Travellers' Club, and was driven
to where he was staying, No. 99, Warwick-street, Pim-
lico. He gave the driver is., when he returned it, and
said his fare was Is. 6d. _ _

_ .
Herbert Dickson, the cab driver, said there were three
people in his cab, and his fare was ls. 6d.
Mr. Richardson observed that the third person was a
child, only seven years of age.
Mr. Arnold told defendant that he knew very well be
was riot entitled to charge fur the conveyance of a child
under ten years of age.
Mr. Richardson remarked, that defendant had not
said a word about a third person until that moment, but
had demanded is. 6d. for distance.

Defendant said he thought he was entitled to it.
Mr. Arnold examined the books of fares published
under the authority of the Comnii,=sioners of Police, and
wished that the public, for their own sakes, and in jus-
tice to those drivers who went upon the ranks for hire,
would take their cabs from one of the appointed stan d-
ing places, instead of hiring me❑ who were plying about
the streets, because, in the event of any dh,pute, it was
impossible to ascertain the distance accurately when men
were so hired, the whole of the fares being measured
from the regularly appointed places.
As the distance was tolerably close Mr. Arnold only
fined defendant ss.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—SERIOUS ASSAULT.
—Henry Wells iwas brought up for final examination,
charged with breaking the leg of Thomas Hutchins.
The complainant, who has been under medical treat-
ment for some weeks past, said, on Saturday night, the
13th May, ho was out delivering parcels for his employ-
ers, when feeling thirsty he went into a public-house in
Clipstone-street, to have a glass of ale. He was accom-
panied by an acquaintance, and while drinking their ale
they were accosted by the prisoner and his companions.
Being desirous to avoid conversation with the party, be
and his friend left the house. They were followed by
the prisoner and his companionP, one of whom demanded
BJ. of him for ale. He refused to comply with the de-
mand, upon which the prisoner butted at him violently
with his head, threw him down, and broke his leg.
His belief was that the prisoner and party were after his
parcels.

soner had undergone nearly a month's imprisonment,
inflicted a fine of 2/ , or two months' imprisonment.

HORRIBLE DEATH, BY SUFFOCATION,
OF TWO MEN AT LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Monday.—On Friday afternoon, about
six o'clock, a man named John Jones was engaged in
making a branch sewer, for the purpose of draining a
cesspool at Thirtyfour•court, Upper Mann-street, Tox-
teth Park, Liverpool, assisted by a person named Thos.
Guy. Jones broke a hole through the midden wall, for
the purpose of forming a connection with the sewer,
when he was overpowered by the effluvium, and fell in
the drain with his face in the filthy liquid. Guy jumped
to render him assistance, and instantly shared a similar
fate ; when another man, named John Watson, also
went to the rescue, but was in a moment overpowered.
A fourth man, Edward Williams, next jumped into the
pool to the relief of those already emerged in the life-
destroying drain, and would also have succumbed to
the virulence of the noxious gas had not timely aid ar-
, rived.

When lifted out of the drain the four unfortunate men
presented a horrible appearance, Jones and Guy being
quite dead, and Watson and Williams utterly unconscious,
but after restoratives were applied, at the Southern
Hope, they gradually recovered.
At the inquest held at Liverpool on Saturday it was
stated that, after the accident, five feet deep of nightsoil
was found in the midden, and that it had not been cleaned
out efficiently for four years.
A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned, th•
' coroner promising to bring the praiseworthy conduct of
the two sick men before the authorities.

MODERN SOCIETY IN ROME.—It is amusing to observe
the denunciations of Roman Catholic writers against
this novel. They have quickly discovered that although
the author is, as we believe, a Catholic, he exposes the
abuses of the Roman religious and political government
with an unsparing hand. There is not a word of con-
troversial argument in the three volumes, but the anec-
dotes of Roman society, and the revelations given of the
political state of the country, doubtless make the work as
obnoxious to the advocates of existing abuses as it is en-
tertaining and instructive to those who would restore
Italy to its plaoe among the nations.
