MARYLEBONE.

A whimsical son of Neptune, who gave his name
Charles Wiped, who is minus a leg, which was taken off at
Trafalgar, was charged with having bilked a cabman of his
lawful fare, under the following extraordinary circum-
stances :

'William Pie, the driver of the cab in question (No.
1,257), took the defendant up in Vere:street, Clare-market,
the preceding evening, and received instructions to drive,
with all celerity, to Abbott's wine vaults, Battle-bridge.
On arriving there the defendant alighted, and at once
frankly acknowledged that he had not a shot in the locker
to pay the fare with, but referred him to Mr. Abbott, who,
he said, was his most intimate friend, and would at once
discharge it. Mr. Abbott, however, refused to do so ;
when Jack told complainant that if he would drive him
home to Greenwich Hospital he would be sure to get his
money. Complainant, however, being somewhat doubtful
of this, at once refused, and gave the sailor in charge, when
he was taken to the station-house.

Mr. SHUTT (to Jack)—What have you to say ? Jack
(hitching up his trowsers)—l've to say this here, your
Honour. When I got into that land-lubber's cab I own I
was rather groggy, but my wooden leg was all right as a
trivet, your Honour ; and when he set me down, I found
that it was gone, and I had only this here leg to stand
upon, the only one which the Monsieur has left me. Find-
ing this was the case I refused to pay the fare till my
timber-toe was found, and for this I was conveyed to limbo.
Mr. SHUTT—What do you suppose they've done with
your leg? Jack—Shiver my timbers if I know, unless
they've spouted it.
The cabman here begged leave to assure his Worship
that when Jack entered the cab he had no wooden leg, but
stood exactly on the same footing as he did then.
Jack—lt's a thundering lie, you've put it up the flue.

Cabman—What use is your wooden leg to any one ?
Jack—Why, you lubber, it will either do for a leg, or
may be used to play at single-stick with.
Mr. SHUTT, after a little consideration, decided that Jack
was in the wrong, and ordered him to pay 7s. 6d., the
amount of the fare, and the cabman's loss of time.

Jack, not being prepared with the needful, was led hop-
ping from the office, and consigned to the lock-up.

UNION-HALL.

Two tradesmen solicited the Magistrate's advice relative
to a gang of swindlers who had recently planted themselves
in High-street. One of the applicants had let a house to
a man of gentlemanly appearance, on his giving a reference
to a person who then appeared to be very respectable, but
who he now found to be connected with a gang of swindlers.
By this stratagem they got into applicant's house, and now
they bid him defiance, and would neither pay the rent nor
leave the premises Various tradesmen in the neighbour-
hood had been had been duped by the parties, and the
house was surrounded by persons who persons who had been
duped of their goods.
The other applicant was a baker, and the parties cam-
plained against had swindled him out of 101. worth of
bread, and he could not get a " mag" from them.
It was stated that there were several other tradesmen
outside the office, awaiting the result of the application, to
ascertain if the Magistrate had not the power of punishing
the parties.
The Magistrates could not interfere.

HIGH WIND.—The high wind on Thursday week
blew down the garden wall of Mr. Steele, of Risbygate-
street, in Bury, and a wall in a meadow in Field-lane, be-
longing to Mr. Portway. Several chimney-pots were also
blown off, and many roofs of houses much injured.
The Moniteur du Commerce of the 9th instant,
sagaciously remarks "that if rumour is to be relied on, the
development (!) of materials for forming a Cabinet is as far off
now as ever." [The difficulty of the development does not
appear to have been very great : the Citizen King, following
the example of our soldier-statesman here, has virtually taken
upon himself all the offices of all the functionaries in the
State. The sequence of self-nomination will perhaps be, at-
tempted dictatorship and despotism.)
