The question was then put, when the license was
granted by a majority of 22 to 2.
Mr. THOMAS appeared to support a petition from
William Lovett, Richard Moore, Henry Hethering-
ton, and Benjamin Huggett, jun., praying for a
dancing and music licence, for No. 242 A, High
Holborn.
The Deputy-Clerk of the Peace, having read the
petition in the usual manner, said that he had received
a memorial, addressed to the Court, against the grant-
ing of such license from the Vestry of the joint pa-
rishes of St. Giles-in-the-fields, and St. George,
Bloomsbury.
The memorial was read, and after some remarks
from Mr. Thomas, in favour of the petition, and
from Mr. Adolphus, against it, the licence was re-
fused by a large majority, four hands only being held
up in its favour. r
The COURT then renewed all the licenses granted
last year except one, and having awarded a similar
privilege to the Queen's Arms Tavern, Edgware-
road, adjourned at a late hour.

POLICE l NTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)

MA N SION-HOUSE.

Walton, the driver of a stage coach, was brought be-
fore Alderman Gibbs, in consequence of an accidental
death, the wheel of the defendant's coach having
passed over the neck of a little boy in Bishopsgate-
street. Several persons of respectability attended to
speak highly of the defendant's character for humanity.
Eliza Kitchen, of Bligh's-buildings, Sun-street,
I3ishepsgate, the mother of the deceased, stated that as
she was crossing the street at half-past two o'clock on
Wednesday, with her child, who was six years old,
the boy suddenly got loose from her and got entan-
gled amongst the horses which the defendant was
driving, and which knocked him down. The wheel
ran upon the child when the coach stopped. She had
hallooed to the coachman when she saw the child in
danger, but she did not know that she was heard.
Charles Yates, a porter, stated that he witnessed the
occurrence. The coach was going at a rapid rate
when the woman and child were crossing, and witness
saw the boy separate himse'S from the mother, and
immediately afterwards fall at the feet of the horses.
The wheel then got upon the neck of the child, whom
witness picked up dead.
Susannah Carter stated that she saw the occurrence,
which was completely accidental. The defendant
hastened and stopped his horses the moment he was
able, and jumped down and handed his card to those
who were present.
. Two other persons stated that the defendant was
altogether blameless, and that he had pulled up as
short as possible ; that, in fact, if a dozen persons
were under the horses fet2t, he could not have shown
greater celerity.
The defendant said he regretted the occurrence ex-
ceedingly, but it was quits unavoidable ; nothing
"could have prevented it.
Alderman G inns said it was evident that no blame
whatever attached to the driver, who, however, could
not be discharged until the Coroner's inquest should
return their verdict.
The defendant, whom many gentlemen appeared
anxious to bail, was accordingly remanded.
A waterman, named Brocklehurst, was summoned
before Alderman Wilson, on 1•i ednesday, for having
charged a young man, named Joseph David Shaw, the
enormous sum of four shillings, for rowing Min and
his sister to shore from the Hull steam•packet, the
legal fare being no more than sixpence—viz., three-
pence each.
The complainant stated that the defendant took him
and his sister, and some other passengers, by the Hull
steam-packet, in his wherry, to shore, from that ves-
sel, and insisted upon receiving four shillings for the
voyage from the middle of the river to the adjoining
place of landing.
Alderman \V it shillings I Are yoU not
making a mistake ?
The complainant declared that the waterman
would not take less. No doubt he never expected
that he Should' be called from the water over the coals
for the imposition.
Alderman .WI sox asked, in astonishment, what
defence the Waterman had to make to such a Charge ?
The waterman said there were seven passengers in his
wherry, and he understood the complainant was to pay
for them all.
Mr. Hobler—Why, even for the whole seven, you
would not be justified in charging more than:ls. 9d.,
and each of them would be entitled to carry 56 lbs.
weight of luggage.
The complainant—My sister was the only person
with me, and the waterman knew it perfectly well.
Alderman WILSON—EIIe was paid at this rate he
must have made a good profit of his labour. Is this
man a free waterman ? Defendant—l am, and have
been for many years.
Alderman Winsost—You certainly ought not to be.
This is a most aggravated case.
A gentleman stated to the Alderman that the very
body of which the defendant was a member had re-
cently brought forward a case, respecting which the
Lord Mayor was very Shortly expected tJ adjudicAte,
connected with their privileges. The watermen in
the case alluded to, complained against a person for
having continued to land passengers from a stearaer
by means of a lighter or a barge cut in two, and with
thus having interfered with the profits of the labours
of the body, and here was an instance of the very
abuse which contributed with other circumstances to
diminish the numbers of those who would venture to
get into a wherry at all.
Alderman WILSON said it was notorious that the
impositions practised by the waterman actually de-
barred the public from employing them. Imposition
and abuse were what people always expected, and in
his opinion very few were disappointed. It is rather
singular that at such a time, when they were making
such appeals in order to prevent the infringement of
their privileges, up started an argument to show, that
the sooner those privileges were abolished, the better.
The defendant said he had never before been
charged at a police-office, and he hoped the matter
would be overlooked upon this occasion.
Alderman WILSON—What is the.'utinost penalty I
can inflict, Mr. nobler?
Mr. nobler—Forty shiliings.
Alderman WILSON—I am very sorry I cannot in-
flict a much greater. The defendant must pay forty
shillings and costs, and return the extra change, three
and sixpence, to the complainant, to whom the public
are much indebted.
The waterman immediately paid the penalty, and
walked off.
