1\ 1.1 NSION-lIOUSR —Richard. Taylor, cab-
al iver, was 'broadtt before" the Lord Mayor,
ilarged under The folluw.ng cireumstauces

Edwil. Morgan, conuThercial traveller, said
—On Saturday evening' at a quarter-pa 4 eight
o'cloek I took the defendant's cah, in Birdlopsgate-
street, and when I got, iu I gave him a sovereign
and ask d him to get it changed, t) t liable me to
pay my fare. I handed it to him through th trap-
door at the top of the cab, and told h:rn to drive
the to '7, &din-la-cot tagei, Canonbury. We w"eitt
abort distance and he got off his cab lind went; into
a: public-house in Acorn-atre t, as I supposad to
get change,-and became out and said-be would trit
drive me any further, and that I had. only given
him a shil ing. .

The Lard -Mayor—Are you quite'sure it was a
sovereign that you gave him ?
Compl,inanti—l am confident of it.
The Lord Mayor—Had you been drinking
Complainant—l had, my !old, but I was Es)bcr
enouh -to know what I was doing.
Mr. Arthur G. Day, of Brentwood, Estex; said.
—I was with Mr. Morgan, alai put him into the
cab. He was not sober. I closed the door, and the
cab dr,vs: off, Lnd I saw the cabman speak throw.th
the hole of the cab, and taxi passed on the cabala',
drew up at the corner of Acorn-street, and I went
over and said, • " Where is the sovereign ?" I had
given the sovereign to Mr. Morgan He. said he
had given it to the cabman., and the cabman was
making a joke of it, and said, " Oh, he had better
be search9d." The i'abwari would not give me his
number, and he tried to drive away, but Mr. _Mor-
gan seized the reins and stopped him. The cabman
sAidhe had uevcr received tue sovereign st all.

Mr. Case-,- of 34, Bishop .12 ate-s ; root; tobacconist,
sa'd--,Mr. Day was standing at my door on Satur-
day night and Mr. Morgan came by at the time,
and Mr. Day stopped him and spoke to km, and,
seeing he was not sober, persuaded him to go home
in a cab, and gave him a sovereign. The cabman
was at the, door, and 1. wiked him if he would take
the gentleman home, and he said " Yes," and I
told him thla gentletnan had a sovereign in hi 3
pocket to pay the fare, and he then drove off.

Childs (193) said—On Saturday night I was on
duty in. plain clothes, and I SAW a mob at. the
corner of Acorn-street. The complainant was then
out of the alb, and the cabman was just driving
away, and the bystanders said ho had a sovereign
belonging, to the complaivant. The complainant
was following the cab, and the horsy was s'opped,
and I went up and saw the cabman with a sove-
reign in his hand, and I saw him put his hand be-
hind him, and th,!re was another cabman cluse be
hind him. I caught hold of the hands of both of
the cabinet), and callei a police-constable. The
pri,oner then shifted . the sovereign to his otuer
hand, and put it in his pocket, and I took bold
then of bath his hands, and said " Where is the
sovereign 1" He aiid, "I have a sovereign in my
pocket, but- that's my own." Ho said that twice
or thrice on going to the station-house. I did not
release his hand till he was in the station-house, and
I then found a sovereign and seven shillings ou
him ; and whilst I was searching him he said if he
had got a sovereign on him it aid not belong to
him. When I fi_►und the sovereign - I said, "Here
is the sovereign ;" and he said, "It does not be-
long Co me." _

Mr. Day stated in the course of his evidence that
the cabmen who were about the corner of Acorn-
street made a vulgsr joke of the matter, as people
of the description w.re in the habit of doing.
The cabman, who seemed at first to think that
he would very easily get over the business, cros37
examined the witnesses, who were at his desire
called in one after the other to answer his questions,
but the case was made by his efforts, if possible,
stronger against him titan it appeared to be upon
the conclutive statement of the witnesses.
. The Lord Mayor—Prisoner, the charge against
you is for feloniously stealing from Mr. Morgan
one sovereign.
The prisoner—Stealing, my lord ! You will take
bail, my lord, I suppose ?
The Lord Mayor—Oh dear, not at' all. The
Central Criminal Cciurt is now sitting. The -bill
will go iinnieJiaiely before the grand jury, and
you will be probably. tried to-morrow morning.
Have you anything to say
The prisoner—Not now, my lord. I shall re-
serve my defence.—Committed for trial.

THE CONFESSION OF WIFE MURDER.-

A SCENE.

Yesterday-morning Mr. Wiliam Baker and the - •
jury who were empanelled to inquire ioto thu cir-
cumstances of the dea•h of a woman named Hoare,
the wife of John Hoare, a labouring man, re-
assernb!ed at the ShercroA Arms, Bow-common-
lane, 131orn1 y.'.

Tha inquiry was adjourned from Saturday last,
and the first witness called was Mr. William Evan
Willauis, `a dresser at the London. Hospital, who
btated that, although he was summoned, he really
did not rccAltet anything about the deceased's
CaSP.

Coroner-7Butsurely you make %oirie note of the
caFe4 that are brought in.o the hospital?
Witu.ess,-,Wel],__ no, __not always ; is was very
liktly that tho ether dresser, Mr. Keithely, was
there.

The. Coroner said they were evidently, in some-
what Of a daewmit, the Foterain not taking the
same view of the case as brother jurymen. It,
however, wanted but three grains of common sense
to nnaerstami_t_ e iu law
perfec ly clear.

"Forel an—Perhaps I have not those three grains
of common 'sense, but stall have iny,ownidea.
od:crier—You may have that amount of com-
inl4 senst or you may not, but I and your fellow-
jurymen seem to see the case quite clearly.
The Foreman—There is not the i 4 lighteat prcof
that the man struck the woman, but there is no
doubt the woman struck the war).

The Coroner [mid be must p.gain- remark tbat it
ap; eared to him the. e could be no hosit itiou a.s ut
the mAtter. It was n case of the utmost impor-
tance, for if the mail wat evert insane; vtid set at
liberty by them (the jury) 'or the magistrate;, he
InighLt:he, turnAt-AA he got loose commit anither
murder. .it was given th>tu in evidence that the
deceased's tibs wet e bound up at the L don Hos-
pital, and it.was not a,c alt likely that if the deceased
had .not sustained a fracture Of:the ribs they would
ihave been .b..und up.
The For ern tn'here' intimated that he could not
ive. way. _._

r The,Cozoner sa!d, that as the Foreman was not
iconviheed'he Must swear:the comtable to lock up
!the jury until they came to a verdict. He (the -
ICotonet) had some other business to trans%ct, and
'would ram n iu about a couple of hours to receive,
their vtrdict.

r same further rema k 4, the Foreman said as
he saw there were eleven gentlemen agamst him,
although he still held the same opinion as he did
before, that there was no proof ttio man Hoare
struck his wife and caused tin) injuries from which
she died, with the exception of nit own confession,
!which he (the Foreman) looked
.upon as the state-
ment of au insane man, yet, wider existing eircurn-
s!ances, he would give way.
The Coroner said he was very happy to hear such
sentiments f.om th• Foreman, as it appeared to him
that he (the Foreman) could do nothing else.
The jury thou returned a verdict of " Man-
slaughter," against John Hoare, and the witnesses
were bound over to prosecute at the Central Crin&i,.
nal Court.
