MARLBOROUGH STREET.

CAUTION TO CAB PROPRIETORS.-Mr. William
Biddle, of 2, Gray-street, Manchester-square, cab
proprietor, appeared to answer the complaint of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, of causing a horse to be worked while in
an unfit state.

From the evidence it appeared that on the 14th
a gentlemen named Westly Roberts, residing at
Marina, St. Leonards, hired the defendant's cab at
the Paddington Hotel to take him to Charing-cross,
and on the way he noticed the cab to lurch a good
deal, and when in Regent-street the driver of the
cab whipped the horse and it fell. Mr. Roberts
took the number of the cab, and communicated
with the Society for the Protection of Cruelty to
Animals.

Young, an officer of the Society, went to the
defendant and told him there was a complaint
against him, and on examining the horse found a
large wound on its knees of long standing. Mr.
Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon,
on examining the horse found it be worn out, in
very poor condition, with broken knees blackened
over, and having cuts on the inside of the fetlock
joints from weakness.
The defendant said he was not aware of the con-
dition of the horse, or he would not have sent it
out.

Mr. Cherry said the defendant was a beginner at
the trade, and had other horses which were all but
worthless.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s., and
ordered him to pay 125.. 6d. costs.
