POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(SATURDAY.I.
BOW-STREET.

On Saturday information was given at this Court
of a robbery by a cabman, under the following cir-
cumstances :—The informant, who is a French lady
(and who did not give her name), stated that some
days since a cab was called by her in Baker-street.
Portman-square, into which she got, taking with her
two boxes and a desk. She was driven to Clerkenwell,
where she was set down. The cabman descended
from his seat and gave her the two boxes, and then
drove quickly off, carrying the desk with him.
Among its contents were 301. in gold, and the same
sum in Bank of England notes, and also several docu-
ments which were of great value to her, besides a
quantity of jewellery. The applicant neither knew
the number of the cab, nor of the driver's badge.
She described the man as being tall and thin, with a
very pale complexion. It is the duty of the driver of
any hackney can lap, when any elude is left in his
vehicle, to convey the same immediately to Somerset
House, in order that the owner may claim it, but as it
had not been done in the present instance, the felonious
intention of the driver was manifest.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. White, surgeon, of Aldersgate-street, was
summoned before Mr. Hardwick, for having horse-
whipped Thomas Davis, groom to Mr. Pettigrew,
surgeon, Saville-row. The complainant said he was
tinning
j into Regent-street from New Burlington-
street, just where there is an obstruction, owing to the
wood-paving in progress, when the defendant drove
his cab agvinst the cairiage, with a view of cutting in
on the wrong side, and finding he could not accom-
plish this, he "cut" complainant with his whip across
the face. Witness got down for the purpose of pre-
venting an accident from collision between the two
carriages, and when about to get on his box he re-
ceived several more lashes over the face from the de-
fendant's wbip. Witness then went up to the defend-
ant's cabriolet and demanded the defendant's name.
This was at first refused, but ultimately witness suc-
ceeded in obtaining both name and address, and this
enabled him to take out the present summons.
Mr. HARDWICK asked if the blows were given with
force ? The complainant said they were given with
such force that his face remained marked for some days.
Two witnesses, who were accidentally present
during the assault, confirmed the complainant's story.
Mr. White, in reply, said there was little truth in
what had been stated. The defendant was the original
aggressor, for he attempted unfairly to deprive him of
his place in the rank, and in so doing ran against his
cab. He (defendant), as a matter of right, tried to
maintain his position, but the complainant contrived
to prevent this by seizing the head of his (defendant's)
horse. To make him let go he certainly did strike
at the complainant with his whip, but he conceived he
was perfectly justified, under all the circumstances,
in acting as he did. The complainant then got into
the cabriolet, and made an attempt to pull him out.
Complainant said he did lay hold of Mr. White's
collar, but that was after he had been lashed the
second time; and because Mr. White at first refused
to give his name.
Mr. White insisted upon the truth of his version of
the matter.

Mr. HARDWICK said he saw no reason to disbelieve
the statement of the complainant, especially as it was
confirmed in all the main points by two creditable
witnesses. The fine of 3/. and costs was then inflicted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—The engage-
ments for the coming week augur favourably for sport,
and the sprit of match-making, usually pretty strong at
the close of the season, having been quickened by the
visit of the Earl of Eglinton, there will doubtless be
many additions during the progress of the Meeting; the
list, too, holds out in the shape of plates, handicaps, and
selling stakes, a variety of inducements, not only to those
who run for amusement, but to that numerous class who
are on the look-out either for purchasers or for the win-
ter's keep of their nags, and will, in all probability, re-
alise a satisfactory daily average up to the close of the
week. Nor is there any ground for apprehension on the
score of company ; the only fear, in fact, that suggests
itself at present is, that the heavy and almost continuous
rain of the last twenty-four hours, with only momentary
intervals of the brilliant sunshine that made the First
and Second October Meetings so delightful, is ominous
of a wintry termination to the campaign ; as yet the
heath has suffered little, but two more such days as Sa-
turday, and things, to use an antiquated joke, go on
swimwingly.
On Monday last we gave the programme of the week,
completed up to the Saturday previous ; since then a
match has been made for to- morrow, between Camelino,
6 3fs,*9st 71b, and Marquis, 2 yrs, 6st, T.Y.C., 50, h ft;
and two for Saturday, viz., Jamie Forest, Bst 71b, agst
I-am-not-aware, 7st 1216, T. M. M., 100, h ft ; and
Pompey, Bst 31b, agst Rook's-nest, 7st 41b, T. Y. C.,
100, h t!.
In observance of the plan pursued at the last Meeting,
we subjoin the names of the horses that are in training
here, classed under the titles and dates of th6ir en-
gagements.

RISTOT. SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 21.—Our market
has been more animated this wee` than for some con-
siderable time past. The sales have been extensive,
at full prices for ordinary descriptions to 15. advance
on better qualities.—Bristol Mercury.
THE NEW TARIFF.—We have just been informed
by a gentleman in this town, that lie has purchased by
retail a quantity of American cheese, equal to the

Under the old tariff such cheese was never sold, we
believe, in. Hull, at less than tenpence per pound.—
