NEW COURT.

The Court sat at nine o'clock this morning, and resumed
the examination of witnesses on the part of the prosecution
against John Bolton and 21 other defendants, proprietors of
Paddington omnibuses.
The defendants, who were allowed to depart the Court,
made their appearance at the appointed time.
Robert Bray, son of the prosecutor, stated, that while
driving his father's omnibus he was followed sometimes by
from two to six of the defendants at once, wherever he went.
On one occasion he started from Paddington on a Sunday
morning at nine o'clock, and remained at Camden-town till
two o'clock on Monday morning. The " Emperor" omni-
bus followed, and remained with him the whole time. They
interrupted his progress, and one of the defendants said
the Paddington Committee consisted of such b---- non-
lens and " out-and-outers," it was of no use to oppose them.

Mr. BALL was about to put some questions, when
The COURT suggested that the proceedings might be
narrowed very much, by keeping to the question whether
tbere had been anything beyond a fair competition.
Mr. Sergeant BoSIPAs was of opinion that suffisient evi-
dence had been advanced to show that there was a great
deal more than a fair competition.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—
