tiaviour to enti it the matter to be treated in that way,
or enable any pereson to tak: merit up 'n Maisel for pro-
secuting on behalf of the public. There was no other
carriage, it seemed, in Halkin.street when defendant nat
first observed, and therefore nothing to induce him t )
fear collision when in the middle of the road, while the
brougham turning into the street at a tolerably rapid
pace there was hardly time afforded to prevent the car-
riages timing into collision. Although a man ought to
be on his own side he could not say that defendant had
been guilty of that sort of carelessness which would jus-
tify him in imposing a penalty upon him, although he or
the owner of the cab might probably be civilly respons-
ible for the amount of datuazes.
The summons was accordingly dismissed.

MARYLEBONE. —M ary Anne Lynch, and Emma
Burcher, paupers in Marylebone Workhouse, were charged
with riotous and disorderly behaviour in that establish•
ment. The prisoners, on being asked what they had to
say, replied that the master came to them, and when ho
ordered them to go to bed he had a whip under his arm.
Burcher said she was going, when be seized hold of her,
and called. f,,r the two porters, and then gave Green some
money to buy some canes.' He brought some back, and
Green and Brown, who had one each, commenced beat-
ing the whole of the girls that were there, and the reason
why they (prisoners) were locked up was because they
had no marks of violence on them, and there were three
others who were so dreadfully cut about that the officer.,
were afraid to bring them before the magistrate. Bur-
chell added that she was obliged to wash the face of OM,
Of the girls, who was in much pain from the injury which
she had received.

Mr. Ryan said he wai compelled in self•defence to
order the porters to use the cane.
Mr. Broughton sent for the three girls, who, on being
examined, were found to have weals and htuises upon
their backs, shoulders, and other parts of their bodes.
Mr. Broughton, after a careful investigation of the
facts brought forward on each side, said he looked upon
the case as one of considerable importance, inasmuch as
ne;thrr the master of a workhouse nor any p,rson acting
on his authority was justified by law in i, flicring per-
sonal chastisement on adults. He should ailj,urn the
case for a week, and in the meantime the board of guar-
dians and directors would of course have all the facts of
the case placed before them at their next t.ittieg.
The prisoners we,e taken back to the workhouse, ae
were also the girls who deposed to the caning inflicted
upon them.

LAMBETH.—Mrs. Alice Mills. the wife of an omni-
bus drivrr, was charged with having in her pos,ession a
silver-gilt dessert spo,n, bearing the arms of GeorgH or
Wtiliam IV., cf which she could not give a satisfactory
account.

The spon wag supposed to he a part of the property
stolen on Saturday, the 15th March last, in front of the
Masons' Arms public-house, Porche,ter-street, Paddin
ton. A box containing plate, belonging to the Royal
nursery, was taken from a van while the latter was on
its way from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Caste, and
Inspector Wilcher, of the d. tectives, was in consequence
in attendance to hear the evidence.
Police-constable Thomas Norman, 195 L, said be was
called into the shop of Mr. Kitchards, pawnbroker,
Westminster road, and the prisoner was pointed out as
having just offered in pledge the dessert spoon produced.
The shopman, observing the royal arms on the spoon, sent
for him (witness). He questioned the woman, who said
that her husband was an omnibus driver, and that about
three weeks before his conductor found the spoon in the
omnibus, and made her a present of it. This statement,
together with her admission that she came from her resi-
dence in Camden-town to Westminster-road to pledg) it,
did not satisfy him, and he took her to the station house.
In reply to the charge the prisoner said the facts were
those stated by the °facer, and said her husband was in
attendance to corroborate them.

Mr. Elliott declined to examine the husband, but de-
sired that the conductor spoken of might be sent for.
Francis Drake said he was conductor of one of the
yellow omnibuses plying between Hubigerford-market
and Camden-town, of which the pri,oner's husband was
the driver. About a fortnight ago, while going along the
Tottenham-court-read he stopped at the end of Goodge-
street to put down a pa.sen,er, and while doing so he
heard something drop from the omnibus, and picked up
thespoon in question. He carried it to the end of his
journey, and a,ked all the passengers as they got out
whether it belonged to them, but none of them owned it.
He then carried it to the house of the prisoner and her
husband, with both of whom he dined on that day, and
told Mrs. Mills, the prisoner, to place it on the shelf,
and that any one claiming it might have it. He did not
make the prisoner or her husband a present of the spoon.
Mr. Witcher requested a remand, to give time for fur-
ther inquiry.
Mr. Elliott complied with this request, and remanded
the prisoner on hail to Saturday next.
Charles and Henry Taylor, uncle and nephew, who
had been remanded from Monday last on a charge of
shooting two fowls, the property of Mr. Adams, a gen•
tlewan residing on Peckham•ryo, surrendered to their
trial in discharge of their recognisances.
The magismrate was rather disposed to treat the charge
as one of intended felony, but uhim del,/ convicted the
defendants in a per,a,lry of ion-• ^

Limbs.—Mr. J. P. King, chemist, of West Cowes,
