MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GENTLEMEN CATIDRIVERS.-Mr. Chas. Henry Walker,
barrister, 2, Pump-court, Temple, and Mr. George Brown,
chemist, 9, Phcenix-street, were charged as follows :
Thomas Pace, cabdriver, badge 13,791, said—l am the
driver of a " showful" cab. This morning 1 saw the de-
fendant Walker jump off a cab, and the other from the in-
side. They then left the cab standing alone in Regent-
street, and walked up Warwick-street. I said to myself,
alluding to Walker, " Oh, he's no driver," then spoke to a
constable, and drove after the defendants and gave them
into custody.
Walker—l was about to ask a question, but it's imma-
terial. Wo admit the offence as far as he has described it.

William Heney, badge 3,306, the driver of the cab, said
—I just stopped into a coffee-shop to have a cup of coffee,
and on coming out found my cab gone from the stand
where I left it in Broad-street, St. Giles's. I gave infor-
mation at Bow-street, and my cab was brought home by a
constable, being much damaged.

Walker—lt's immaterial. The fact is, we wanted a cab,
and having called for the driver, and, as he did not come
my friend said, " Get in, and I'll drive you." I did so, but
after going a little way we didn't knew what to do with it.

A constable said the defendants were both drunk.

Mr. Beadou—lt is a most improper thing. You might
have been charged with stealing the cab. They were liable
to all sorts of fines.

, Walker—lt's immaterial—(laughter) ;—but I hope you
will be lenient.

Mr. Beadon—l shall fine Walker 40s. for driving the
cab, and Brown ss. for being drunk.
Walker—lt's immaterial—(laughter) ;—but I did not
drive the cab ; it was Brown. However it's immaterial,
so I'll pay the fine.
The fines were paid.

THAMES.

ROI3ERRY IN THE ST. KATHERINE Dom.—Robert
Wood, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe,

A coistable, named Titswell, said he stopped the pri-
soner, who was leaving the dock, this morning, and found

it up.
20 30 Prisoner—Yes, I did pick it up in the dcek.

Mr. Selfe--You have no business to pick up anything in
the dock, where, of course, goods are necessarily exposed.
It is a most impudent robbery. Is the prisoner known ?
Titswell—lle works occasionally in the docks. Ile has
no ticket.

Mr. Salle—The prisoner is sentenced to ouo mouth's
imprisonment, and hard labour.
