CAUTION TO CARTERS.—About eleven o'clock on Satur-
day morning, a carter, named John Guy, who was riding in
his cart near St. John's Market in a state of intoxication,
ran over a child, and seriously injured it. The child was
immediately taken up, and it walked as far as Hood-street,
and then dropped down. Policeman No. 202 took the driver
into custody ; but not until after having had his coat torn in
a struggle with him. Yesterday he was brought up before

Mr. Itu-shton, when a certificate from a surgeon was prude

prisoner said some woman had unbuckled the horse's reins,
and that he saw the child walk under the feet of the animal,

to pay the expbses of the doctor. Mr. Rushton said that
would not do, and he must be remanded till the fate of the
child was' known.
