POLICE IN2I

.(I.IIIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A FORENSIC COACHMAN.—John Bibb, a private coach-
man, residing at 7, Reeve's-mews, Grosvenor-square, was
charged with wilfully damaging a cab 2,077, he being at
the time drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse
and carriage, to the danger of the public.
The driver of the cab, Morris White, said he was driving
along Coventry-street, about II the previous night, when
the defendant, who was driving at the rate of nine miles an
hour, came in collision with his cab with such force as to
completely carry away the body of it. The damago was
about £5, and the defendant was drunk at the time.
The owner of the cab asked Mr. Beadon if he would not
make out an order on the defendant's master for the
damage ?

Mr. Beadon said, had it been a cab that had run into the
carriage he could have done so, but not when a carriage
ran into a cab. He must go to the county court for the
amount.

The defendant (who seemed scarcely recovered from the
effects of the drink he had imbibed), said, in deciding the
case there were certain points to be well weighed. •It must
be sees that, to have done what he was charged with, the
force of concussion would have been very great. Now, the
fact was, that there were a great many cabs sent out of a
night to get in collisions, so that compensation might be got
from persons of respectability and those who steadily con-
ducted themselves. There was, after the question of damage
had been decided, the question as to whether he was drunk ;
and he wished to instil into his worship's mind-
Mr. Beadon said he (defendant) was one of those persons
who, when they ran against a post, thought the post ran
against them. He should fine him 405., or a month.
The defendant, who seemed much annoyed at being cut
short in his defence, and who conducted himself in a very
confident way, was then removed.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

About an average time-of-year supply of beasts, about
one-third being foreigners, was on offer here to-day, in but
middling condition. Owing to the prevailing hot weather,
all breeds met a slow inquiry, at Monday's currency. We
were tairly supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly at
late rates. Lambs—the show of which was good—were a
dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The veal trade was heavy ;
nevertheless, no change took place in value. Pigs and
milch cows were very dull, at almost nominal quotations.
