was charged with furious driving, and other misconduct.
It apreared the prisoner was driving on Wednesday
morning his cab and horse at a rapid rate in Guildford-
street, with two persons on the roof, four inside, one
man on the horses back urging him on, making in all
eight persons, and at the corner of Greville-street, the

and the whole party except the rider were thrown down
on the pavement. The Magistrate ordered the defendant
to pay a penalty of 405., rind in default of payment to be
committed to hard labour for a month.

Thomas Hewett, the Chartist, indicted at the Norwich
Quarter Sessions for creating a disturbance and obstruct-

found guilty of a rout but not a riot, and ordered to be im-
prisoned for two months, and to bind himself in fixed se-
curities.
At Marlborough-street, yesterday, Mr. Hardwick was
applied to by a solicitor to admit to bail Mr. Pennington,
the young man who had been committed for three
months as a rogue and a vagabond, for disgraceful con-
duct at the Haymarket Theatre. His object was to en-
able the prisoner to appeal to the Sessions against the con-
viction. After some inquiry the Magistrate consented
to release the offender, on his giving security, himself in
5001., and two others in 250/. each. The Rev. Mr. Pen-
nington, Rector of Thorley, Hertford, the defendant's
grandfather, and Mr. Egg, the gun-smith, were the 511

RUMOUR 01' THE DAT.

We understand that certain Members of the ex-Cabi-
net, greatly interested in the Corn-law question, have
engaged the services of the boy Jones, to go down to
Stowe, and report the heads of the conversation now taking
place there between Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham,
and the Duke of Buckingham. Several curious revela-
tions are expected, which will not tend to increase the
public veneration for Sir James Graham's consistency.
