SIX CHARGES AGAINST A MAN AT CHEMORNE.—ThOMS
Brown, a cabman, was charged with a series of offences
at Cremorne Gardens.

Police-constable Potter 162 T, said that at three o'clock
that morning he was at the water-side entrance at
Cremorne, and saw a gentleman and two ladies get into
the defendant's cab, which was standing there. The
gentleman asked what he would charge to St. James's-
square, and defendant replied 58., but in a few minutes
after this he told the gentleman he should not go unless
they gave him 10s. He produced a badge for his number
to be taken, and the Waterman coming up at that moment
said that the false badge now prodaced by the man had
been missing some time. Defendant then rushed away
and would not take the fare. He afterwards returned,
saying he bad no badge, he was the proprietor. Witness
saw defendant was very drunk. He made a severe
kick at the waterman's stomach, and kicked witness
violently in the lower part of the stomach, and also kicked
Clarke, another constable. He was very violent.
Defendant said he got no money for the cab at the rank,
so he wont out with it himself, as ho was the proprietor.
The police said the name of the owner of the cab was
Thomas Cooper.

William Henry Abbott, a waterman, proved that the de-
fendant had used a foul badge.
Defemlant said ho had not got one of his own. He drove
to Fulham.

Police-constable Clarke showed that the defendant kicked
him.

Defendant said he was seized roughly and taken away
from his cab just as he wanted to see all things straight.
Mr. Selfe—There are no less than six charges against
you. For being drunk, for driving without a badge, for
an attempt to extort money, and for three distinct assaults
and he thought the case a very bad one.
Defendant—l hope you will look upon it leniently.
Mr. Selfe—l am sure I will not. On public grounds I
consider it my duty to punish you severely.
Committed for six weeks without a fine.
