Naw LIACKNEY-COACHES ACT.-.—YeoCrilay a
decision of .some .consequence to the. people. of
London and its environs, was VonotoTed by the
.Sitting Megistmate at Bow-street, as relating to
hackney-coaches. The driver of, the imarkney.
coach No. 377, was charged with exacti more
than his fare, in driving from Kensiogton to Hyde-
park-corner. The gentleman who idled the coach
desired the driver to take him an eighteen-penny
fare, towards Hyde-park-corner : bat, instead of
that, the,. coachuva» drove thiongh the, turnpike-
gate,,and insisted upon having two shillings, say-
ing that the gentleman held the check-stri. g in•
hand. The driver was asked, would be have
drove as far as Shoreditch if the string had not
been pulled ? He admitted he should not have
,gone.so far ; however, the principle on which
had acted. was exactly the .same ; and in the last
Act of.Parliatnent for regulating.hackney-coache.s
there is a clause to oblige the drivers to ci,,t agree. s-
ably to directions, and to protect the.public, frottr
inattention, and insolence. The Magist mates now-
convicted the defendant, with costs. Their deci,-
sion; in the present-.case is of considerable import-
ance, as it establishes the principle, that a person
May'direct.a coachman to drive a shilling fare; or
a which is. the same thing, towards ant*
place.;
,or an eighteen-penny fare, or.a mile ,and
adialf, and so on in proportion., for any sum or '
distance within time limits of the Hackney-Coach
Act. ,The driver, is hound to go accordinoy..;%and,
if he goes beyond, lie is not entitled, to any more.
Ifhe takes any, mote, be is liable to. be prosecuted
for extortion : and if lie does not drive the dis+
tance directed, he is equally liable. .
