MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
, (THIS DAY.)
Sir JOseph Douglas, of No. Cambridge-ter-
race, Hyde-park, appeared before Mr. Hardwick, the
presiding Magistrate, to prefer a complaint against
the,. driver of the Paddington omnibus No. 516, for
furious driving, and against the conductor of the same
vehicle for making use of abusive language.
Sir Joseph Douglas stated that about three o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon last as he was proceeding in his
carriage along Oxford-street, near to the Pantheon
Bazaar, the omnibus in question was approaching in
the opposite direction, the horses galloping at a furious
rate of speed, and on the wrong side, in consequence
of which the omnibuses came in collision with the
carriage and smashed in some of the parinels, and on
_the driVer being expostulated with the conductor
:ta„.nlade use of abusive and insulting language.
E,3
Mr.HARDWICK ordered summonses to be issued
s,`against the parties.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said he thought,
As regarded the conductor, to bring the case under
.the provisions of the Act, commonly called the Stage
Coach Act, that abusive language must be made use
of to a passenger.
Mr. HARDWICK said, that at all events the con-
. ductor was liable to be punished under the Police
Aet, for using insulting language in a public highway,
tending to excite a breach of the peace.
On referring to the first-mentioned Act, Ist and
2d Vic. cap. 79, sec. 16, it was found to be an offence
for the conductor of Hny public carriage to use abusive
or insulting language, " during his employment," to
any person, and for which he was liable to a penalty
not exceeding Si. Summonses were accordingly
issued, and the hearing of the case fixed for Thursday.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
George and Elizabeth Ayres, a respectable trades-
man and his wife, were placed at the bar, the former
on a charge of creating a riot, and the latter with en-
deavouring to rescue her husband from the police.
Thomas Young, the landlord of the "Dudley Arms"
Public-house, Paddington, stated that about half-past
.• ten last night prisoner was in his house. Heard him
quarrelling with the barman about the change of six-
pence. He requested defendant to leave the house,
and as he would not, he was compelled to give him in
charge to the police. •
k'Kenzie, barman to the former, stated that when
pee man was taken into custody, he became very vio-
nt, and on his way to the station in Dudley-street,
be caught hold of the railings and pulled the bell
twice or thrice. The policeman was obliged to throw

Mm
Police-constable 194 D took the prisoner into cus-
ass-1. When in Dudley-street, he was obliged to act
se.:aestechriecibeihiisbfyaclea.st witness; and prisoner's wife run-
ning %nit into the street, flew at him like a tigress and
]aid male prisoner in defence stated, that he had
• dnlvn 6d. and was perhaps noisy at the idea of
being as he thought cheated. He denied having used
any violence, but said that wishing to inform his wife
and friends that he was being taken to the station-
house, he rung his own house bell, when the police-
Man threw him down with the utmost violence upon
the street, and then knelt upon his neck till he was
almost insensible. He should have been dead in a
militate or two had he not-been relieved.
This evidence was 'confirmed by two witnesses.
Air. LONG said, that after the very respectable wit-
nesses who had deposed to the policeman's conduct, he
could not doubt for a moment that a great deal of un-
necessary violence had been used, and he also thought
that the policeman's charge against the female could
.not be proved in one particular. There was a very
general cry against the police at present, and he
thought conduct like the present was not calculated
to allay it.—The case was dismissed.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Luke Vigo was charged with a cruel assault.
It appeared from the evidence, that last night, be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock, the prisoner and a
Young man named Bankes were drinking in a beer-
shop in High-street, Islington. The bar-maid gave
the prisoner some beer unknown to her master, which
Bankes communicated to him. Vigo said nothing at
the time, but soon after left the house, and when
ilankes was returning home, waylaid him at half-past
eleven o'clock, in High-street. He first knocked him
clown ; the fall rendered Bankes insensible. Vigo
then jumped on him, and kicked him on the chest and
legs. lie was jumping on his body when N 280
came up. The prisoner ran away, but was soon after
apprehended. The complainant was carried to the
station-house in a state of insensibility. Mr. Sem-
ple, the police-surgeon, was sent for, who said the
complainant had received dangerous internal injuries.
Mr. GREENWOOD said a more brutal assault never
came before him. If the complainant died, the pri-
soner would be tried for wilful murder. The sur-
geon should have been there to give his evidence.
- Be would fine him 3/., or six weeks' imprisonment
and hard labour.

UNION HALL.—(TIIIS DAY.)
• The Rev. Mr. Curling, the Chaplain of Saint Sa-.
Nimes, complained that a Captain Stevens, Proprietor
of the baths in the Westminster-road, had extensively
circulated a placard, describing that he (Mr. Curling)
• - • was about to preach a sermon in aid of the funds of
the Swimming Bath Society. Now he (Mr. Curl-
ing) denied that such was the fact, and he was de-
sirous of disabusing the public mind on the occasion,
as he had no such intention. His object in the pre-
,- sent application was to give publicity to his contradic-
' tion of such a misrepresentation.
Caroline Fitzmaurice, a young female, was charged
with attempting to drown herself.
The unfortunate girl, who, it appeared, had only
left her situation a fortnight ago, owing to her being
enciente, and being driven to great distress, and appre-
hensive of going to her family in her situation, deter-
mined on. self-destruction. She therefore proceeded
down the steps of London-bridge, and was in the act
of precipitating herself into the river, when she was
prevented by a gentleman.
As she refused to give any information relative to
her family, she was held to bail.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
Mr. APCIIRISTIE, the Revising Barrister, sat in
Court at ten o'clock this morning.
John Kislonbury claimed a right to vote as a free-
man and liveryman of the Distillers' Company. The
claim was objected to by Mr. Marr, on the ground
that the claimant, who was recorded in the City books
as a cook, could not be legally considered as a dis-
tiller with a view to vote, unless he had been formally
translated into the Distillers' Company from the
Cooks' Company, to which he had originally be-
-I°oged. It appeared that no such translation had
taken place. Mr. Sewell, the Clerk to the City
Remembrancer, stated that, according to the custom
of the City, no party who had been a member of one
Company could legally become a member of another,
Unless he had been formally translated by a Court of
-Aldermen. Mr. Kislonbury appeared, therefore, in
the books of the Corporation as a citizen and cook,
although he .had purchased his freedom as a distiller,
11,1astouch as no formal translation had taken place.
"It WaS contended in favour of the claim that, as Mr.
Xislonbury was admitted to be a freeman and a li-
"Tyman, although of a different Company, the Re-
form Act gave him a right to vote.
The REVISING BARRISTER observed that the point,
turning as it did upon the peculiar usages of the
'City, was one of some difficulty. He should take
- • time to consider his judgment in the case...
A few of the parish lists Were then revised, but the
Proceedings gave rise to no point of interest.
