P OLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE BENEFIT OF A GOOD CIIARACTER.—John
Biddle, cab-driver, living in Southampton-street,
Camberwell, was placed at the bar before the sitting
magistrate, on the charge of being drunk during
his employment, and causing damage to a fire-
escape. _

Jathes Ward, A 290, ststed that while on duty
last night at a quarter to 12 o'clock he perceived a
crowd at the top of BowLstreet. He at once pro-
ceeded there and saw a conductor of the fire-escape
holding the horse of the prisoner's cAb.. The escape
was on the ground, and be (constable) took the
prisoner, who was drunk, into custody. The pri-
soner said he was neither drunk nor sober, but was
" half way."
E. Brown, foreman to Mr. Clark, fire-escape
maker, Burton-crescent, said that the fire-escape
was now lying in the yard very much broken. It
could not now be repaired -under 110. •

Conductor Christopher said that he.was standing
inside the.box near the escape when he suddenly
heard a crash, and he only saved hiMself by stepping
back a few inches froni the falling machine. He
immediately ran after the cab and held the horse.
He could not tell whether the prisoner was driving
rapidly or not. The iron bar and many of the steps
were broken. The prisoner said the horse shied at
the escape—this is often the case.
The magistrate remarked that he could not be-
lieve it, and be thought it very likely indeed that
any horse would be frightened at a fire-escape.
James Brooks deposedthat he drove the prisoner's
cab home last night, and that on several occasions
during the journey the horse shied at the most trifling
circumstance. A police-constable was inside, and
if he had not pulled the rein tightly the horse and
cab would have been on
.9p pavement, and most
likely capsized altogether.
The naagistratesz in coErchtdingthe case, observed
that he was not going to deal with the charge of
damaging the escape, bt4 only with reference
to the prisoner being drunk, and that most
likely, if this had not been case, the accident
would not have happened at all. As it was he
should only fine the prisoner 108. or seven days,
but a constable should inquire as to the prisoner's
character, and if the charge of the damages was to be
preferred against' the prisoner a summons would be
issued for that purpose.
About half an hour afterwards, at the request of
the magistrate, the prisoner was brought back, and
on account of his very good character the fine
was reduced to 2s. 6d.
