BOW-STREET—(Twis DAY.)
John Philpot, the licensed proprietor of a one horse ma-
van, was brought up on the information of Mr. Sykes, so-
licitor to the Stamp office, for having carried more passen-
gers than the Act allows.

- Mr. Sykes stated, that by an Act passed in the 7th year
of Geo. IV. carriages on four wheels, drawn by one horse,
are not allowed to carry more than six passengers. car-
riages on two wheels no more than four passengers, under
a penalty of not more than 20/., and not less than 51., for
every such transgression. He had frequently witnessed
the defendant to burden his horse with ten or twelve per-
sons ; and he felt called upon, through humanity, to put a
check to such acts of cruelty. He had the defendant fined
in the penalty of 54 at the Mansion-house; and he was
sorry to find it had not the effect of confining him within
legals limit. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty."
Joseph Johnson, inspector of the stage coaches for the
town district, deposed that he saw seven passengers, ex-
clusive of a child, in the defendant's caravan, on Monday,
the 14th of September, in St. Martin's-lane. There being
no evidence to rebut this, the defendant was convicted in
the mitigated penalty of 51.
William Rayner was brought up on suspicion of theft.
Previous to the case coming on, one of the officers informed
Sir Richard Birnie, that Mr. Roe, a magistrate belonging
to the Marlborough-street district, within which the charge
was made; had directed the case to be brought to Bow-
street, for particular reasons.

SIT RICHARD BeaNIE wished to know the reasons, when
Susan Walker, the prosecutrix, stated, that she had an in-
timate knowledge of Mr. Roe since she had been fifteen
years old, and that consequently she did ntl wish to appear
before him under such peculiar circumstances; she then de-
posed that the prisoner, who was a bricklayer, had slept
with her about ten days ago, when she showed him a 10/.
note and two sovereigns, which she had received from
Mr. Roe, as trustee to her marriage settlement, (for, she
had been now married four years); the, prisoner got up
about nine o'clock in the morning, and went off in a
hurry ; she immediately afterwards missed the money, and
she was sure that no person but the prisoner could take it.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of it, end, as a proof
of his innocence, said that he had surrendered himself to
an Officer when he heard of the charge being brought
against him.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIR said, that there was no evidence
to substantiate the charge; but as money had been bolt in
Lambeth, he referred it to Union-hall, where the prisoner
was accordingly conducted.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tms DAY.)
Thou= Cox, a sweep, was brought before A. S. LAING,
Esq., charged with stealing a watch under the following
circumstances:—

About a mouth since a young man named Yates was
accosted on Clerkenwell-green by an individual who, under
pretence of picking up a shilling, insisted on treating him,
when they adjourned to the General Graham, where were
several persons, and among them the prisoner, who ap-
peared well acquainted with Yates's new companion.—
After a slight conversation some wagers of a eeculiar
nature were introduced, and Yates, with a certa►nty of
winning, was induced to stake his watch against .5a., both
of which were deposited in the hands of the waiter,
who received orders from his mistress to have no-
thing to do with it. The wager had, in the mean-
time, been decided; and before" Yates could reach his
watch from the waiter's hands, it was snatched by the
prisoner, who ran out of the house, followed by the whole
party. The prisoner had not been discovered until yes-
terilay, although a strict search had bean made for him,
when Mr. Beck, the landlord of the Graham met him, and
knowing what had transpired, though absent from home at
the time, gave him in charge.
The man who took Yates to the house has been fully
committed for the same offence.

Mr. LAING said, the prisoner must be remanded till to-
morrow, and all the witnesses on the other committal must
attend.

The prisoner denied all knowledge of the transaction.

QUEEN-SQUARE—(Tms DAv).
UTTERING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.--Mariha Bird, a
very interesting young girl, underwent a final examination
on a charge of uttering bad money.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
gone to the shop of Mrs. Elizabeth Illeadon a pastrycook's,
m Paradise-row,
Pimlico, and in the purchase of two tarts
tendered a bad shilling. It seemed that on two former
occasions she had disposed of money in the same way and
escaped, however, in the third attempt, a constable was
sent for, who took her into custody.

Mr. John Field, an Inspector at the Mint, on examining
four shillings, pronounced three of them base and counter-
feit, and from one die. _ _

The prito-ner, in her defence, denied knowing, the shil-
ling was bad, and declared she never was in the sing) before.
- Fully committed for trial.
