WANDS WORTH.

Eliza Court, a respectable-looking girl, about
eighteen years of age, was charged before Mr. Clive
with being found sleeping in an unfinished house in
the Clapham-road.
This was another of those numerous cases of desti-
tution which we find in almost every police report.
The girl had been seven months in service in London,
and been dismissed. She was a native of Hampshire,
vnd had no friends in the metropolis, and therefore
she crept into the house for shelter.
The Magistrate discharged the prisoner, and or-
dered the constable to take her to Lambeth workhouse
for that night.
Mr. Samuel Townes and sixteen other omnibus
proprietors, were on Thursday summoned to this Court,
by Inspector Creed, of the V division, for plying for
hire, and stopping longer than was necessary for the
taking in and setting down passengers opposite to the
Plough Inn, Clapham .
Mr. Wire, solicitor, appeared for the whole of the
omnibus proprietors.
Inspector Creed was then sworn, and stated that
he had taken out these summonses in consequence of
instructions from the Commissioners of Police, who
had determined not to allow the Plough, at Clapham,
to be any longer a stand for omnibuses, of which
there were frequently as many as five collected at one
time, but only to permit them the necessary time for
the taking up and setting down passengers. He had
previously forewarned the proprietors of the vehicles
of the determination of the Commissioners, but they
persisted in stopping after the notices were served
upon them
Police-constable Williams, 94 V, proved that on
the 4th instant he was stationed at the Plough to take
the time of those omnibuses that stopped there longer
than was necessary to take up and put down pas-
of which the defendant

drew up, and stopped,
six minutes. .

In answer to a question put by Mr. Wire, the wit-
ness said that the Plough was the starting place for
the omnibuses going to London, and that he had heard
of no complaint against the custom being made by
any of the inhabitants.
Alr. Wire contended that the summonses were not
sastainable, inasmuch as this was a starting point, and
a place at which an omnibus called. The licenses
menti~ Red the Plough as the point or place from
which they were licensed to start, and it was neces-
sary that there 'should be a stated place for each
vehicle to go from
a certain time kept. It had
not been shown that it nd .:
was a nuisance, but if there
was any, it was a nuisance :clierated on account of
the convenience to the public.
Mr. CLIVE said that the very fact 6.! the Commis-
sioners of Police taking the matter up pro:'ed it to be
a nuisance. He conceived the offence fully p."°Y...e.,d:
and that- no answer had been given. He though,
nothing was easier than for omnibuses to come to an
appointed place at a regulated time, and start from
thence on their journey, without any delay beyond
that of taking up passengers. He should only
inflict the nominal fine of sixpence and costs in this
case ; the other defendants would pay one penny
each and costs.
Mr. Wire stated that it was the intention of the
proprietors of the omnibuses to go in a body to the
Commissioners of Police, and request them to appoint
the Plough as the starting place for their vehicles.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.
To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, .544.
Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of justice to inform
you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your
admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found
my hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much
discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it
continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and
hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for
some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that
my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved
in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and
glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have
warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an eacellent
restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have an
objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not
publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or
make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants
to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma-
cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant,
R. owland's Macassar Oil preserves and reproduces the
Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ;
Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it
from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft
and curly.
Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."
All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

THE NELSON DISPATCHES ♦ND LETTERS.—It has
been justly observed that it redounds greatly to the
credit of all the parties concerned in this truly national
publication, that it has been issued at a much lower price
than the generality of works of far less interest and im-
portance. The first volume, very beautifully printed,
comprises as much matter as two ordinary volumes at the
cost of 155., bound ; but there can be no question that
this liberality will be met, on the part of the public, by a
proportionably extended patronage.
