POLITE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

A CABMAN CHARGED WITH CAUSING THE DEATH OV
ANOTHER -MAN.—Charles Fisher, cab driver, badge 8,124,
was charged leforo Mr. Tyrwhitt with causing the death
of a man, name unknown, by knocking him down with a
horse and cab.

Benjamin Nicholls, 89 B, said—About half-past one this
morning I was in the Tottenham. court-road, and saw a
man coming down tho road towards Oxford-street, walk-
ing on the pavement. Tho prisoner, who was driving a
Hansom cab, was coming down the road on the opposite
side at a steady pace. The man then crossed from the
chapel side, appearing to be drunk, and staggering along,
and when ho had got about two paces from the cab rank
the shaft of the cab caught his head and knocked him
down. The prisoner called " Halloal" as the man wont
down, and after going a few yards turned his cab round
and came back. I cannot say whether the cab went over
the man or tot. The prisoner was on his proper side.
I picked up the man, whose head was bleeding,
and on telling the prisoner that I should take
the man to the hospital, ho told me to put him in his cab
and he would take him anywhere. I took the man to the
University Hospital, and the houso surgeon dressed his
head, but could not take him in, saying he had no beds,
and that I had better take him to the station. The man
never spoke from first to last, and died at the hospital.
Mr. Tyrwhitt —How long did ho live after he was wanted
to be taken away ?

Constable—About 20 minutes. After he was lifted from
the bench he sat on a chair and there died, and was taken
to the dead-house.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—You do not know who ho is ?
Constable—No, sir.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—At what rate was the cabman going?
Constable—Five miles an hour. On telling the prisoner
the man was dead ho cried, and said that he would rather
have 'lost his cab and two horses than such a thing should
have occurred.

The Prisoner—l was coming along Tottenham-court-
road and thought the man was a cabman standing by his
horse, but instead of that it was a man who walked right
on to the horse.

The Constable—There were Witnesses, but they aro not
present.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Thoy ought to be present. I hope it is
a mere accident brought on by the man himself. I will
take one bail in £5 for the prisoner's attendance next week.

THAMES.

THE MOTIIER AND SON—PAINFUL CASE.—Frederick
Littlewood, engineer and draughtsman, who was formerly
in the service of the Messrs. Rennie and other respectable
firms, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with annoy-
ing his mother, Elizabeth Littlewood, and unlawfully
knocking at the door of her house in the Burdott-road,
Limehouse.

The complainant is a highly respectable lady, who
carries on the business of a dressmaker and milliner. her
son and his wife formerly lived with her. He has had the
advantage of a good education and the good example of
virtuous parents. He became a drunkard, idle, and irregular
in his habits, and his mother was compelled to exclude
him and his wife from the house. Both have since
annoyed Mrs. Littlewood and made attempts to extort
money from her. Failing in this, the prisoner and his wife
have frequently disturbed the complainant and her daugh-
ter by knocking at the door of Mrs. Littlowood's house at
unseasonable hours. On Saturday morning, at 3 o'clock,
the prisoner alarmed the whole of the inhabitants of a
populous neighbourhood by loud and incessant knocking
at his mother's door. She gave a man a shilling to fetch a
police constable, and the prisoner was removed. Last
night, after his mother and the other inmates had
retired to rest, ho kept up a knocking at the door
for three hours, and caused a mob to collect opposite
the house. He was very drunk and uproarious, and was
removed by a police-constable. The prisoner's wife was
in Horsemonger-lane Gaol on a commitment by one of the
magistrates of the Lambeth Police Court after assaulting
and threatening the complainant's daughter.
The prisoner said he was illegally detained, and ho ac-
cused his mother of giving fees to policemen to remove
him from her house.

Mrs. Littlewood denied that she bad given fees to polico-
constables, and said the prisoner's wifo had broken her
window and knocker.

Mr. Paget said his opinion was, the prisoner was legally
detained, and fined him 40s. He would grant protection
to Mrs. Littlewood and her daughter in another form if
they wero threatened or annoyed. Ho severely censured
the conduct of the prisoner.
