POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

EXTORTION OF CAB-DRIVERS.-
Rev. C. Wray, incumbent of St. Martin's Church' pre

plainant got into the cab in Giant Crosshall-street. and

requested the defendant to drive him to his reidence in
Netherfield-road South, the legal fare for which is ls. 6d.
The defendant, however, insisted on receiving 55., on the
ground that the streets were crowded in consequence of
her Majesty's visit. The magistrate said Ile was glad the
information had been laid, as it was a most improper at-
tempt at extortion, and ordered the defendant to pay a
fine of 20s. and costs. John WlCenna, driver of cab
was also fined 20s. and costs, for making a charg
from the Collingwood Dock to Renshaw-street, the pro-
per fare being only 2s. 6d.
CLAIMS FOR SEAMEN'S WAGES.—OR
Tnhn Sangster, mate of the steamer Grecian,

ge of 5

,inesday,

be-
tween Smyrna, Constantinople, and Liverpool, claimed
the sum of £l9 from Mr. Dixon, agent and part owner of
the vessel. It appeared that on a previous voyage a bale
of wool, valued at £l9, was supposed to have been misse3
from the cargo, and as there was no certainty about the
matter, the mate's wages were paid ; but, according to
the evidence of Mr. Dixon, on the understanding that the
value of the bale should be stopped, if it were found that
the cargo was deficient. On the prosecutor's return from
another voyage, he was informed that the bale of wool was
lost, and the value of it was deducted from his wages.'
The complainant contended that he was not liable, inas-
much as the defendant, when the cargo was unloading,
told him to attend to the vessel, and to leave the cargo;
besides it was argued, that no deduction could be made
from his wages for a loss sustained during a former voyage.
A verdict was given for the complainant, without costs.—
On Thursday, a seaman on board the vessel Ricardo,
from Malta, but under the British flag, summoned Capt.
Aizzupardi, the master of the vessel, under the following
circumstances :—Mr. Owen, solicitor, stated th at besides
the present complainant *here were two others. They
shipped at Malta, at 91 dollers per month, and on arriving
here they were told that, unless they would accept 7 dols.
a month, they should have neither work nor food. This
threat had been now fulfilled for a week, and the young
men then appeared before the court for redress. After
some explanation by the captain, he expressed his willing-
nees to pay the amounts claimed, subject to certain sums
had on account.

DESTITUTION-.—On Thursday, nine men (one of whom
was a coloured man, and another a Portuguese) were
brought up for sleeping in some brick-kilns in Rake-lane,
and destroying a quantity of timber, the property of Mr.
Roberts, brick-maker. The prosecutor stated that he was
sorry to bring the prisoners into court, as he pitied their
unfortunate and miserable condition ; but his property
was being destroyed. Besides, he had known persons to
be suffocated by sleeping in the kilns. He then gave a
description of the huts which the prisoners made to shelter
themselves from the inclemency of the weather, which was
placing the boards against the hot bricks. Three of the
prisoners were booked for Ireland ; the others were
cautioned and discharged.
CAUTION TO SEAMEN.—SIX of the seamen of the barque
Thomas and James, arrived at this port from Pictou, were

ship against the wish of the captain and before the vessel
was in a safe place or docked. The ship arrived on Satur-
day, and anchored off New Brighton. While the captain
was on the point of leaving the ship in a steamer, one of
the seamen stated that according to the terms of the agree-
ment they were now at liberty to leave the ship, and that
they intended to do so. The captain urged them to stay
until his return or until the ship w!tsin!% place of safety,

and then left. After the captain left, the men also le-fi
in defiance of the mate, and riggers had to be
board to take the ship into dock. The magistra
