niture,• plate, linen, &c., F had been dep,sited by Mr.
Parker, who had them placed in his hands by various Par-
ties during their absence from home. Miss Blundell had
thus lost property valued at £65 125., and. Mrs. Killey, a
lady now in Scotland, was a sufferer. The prisoner had

had tickets• in her possession amount* to upwards et
£22, with Mr. Smith. Mr. Parley, and Mr. Critchley.

information laid ,against Thomas Binns, the driver of
car belonging to Mr. Thos. Frazer, for demanding more
than the legal fare, and also for having a " cad " with him
on the driving box, contrary to law. This case revealed*
gross species of imposition practised by the ear drivers of
this town. On Saturday, three ladies landed from the
Hibernia, and hired the defendant to convey'them to the
Waterloo. The fellow replied to their directions that the
Waterloo was felt: he had taken some parties.there that
morning, who had• to go elsewhere in consepuence of there
being no room in.the hotel. The ladies, notwithstanding
this intimation, again desired the man to drive them to
the Waterloo. Instead of complying, he drove them to,
the Queen's Hotel;' evidently from interested motives,
being a custom for some hotels to allow these men a pre"
mium on every person brought to the house. The ladled
insisted on being taken to the Waterloo, which was at last
acceded to. When, arrived there Binns demanded three
shillings, which was more than the proper fare ; itwas not.
however, paid him.: Mr. Rushton inflicted a fine of 20s.
for having demanded more than the fare, and one of ss•
for using a " cad." The magistrate directed that he should
not be allowed to drive a car until the fine be paid ;. and
threatened to prohibit him from driving at all if-he'shoulu
be guilty of a second offence of a similar character.

above robbery. Police-constable Keogh, of the,deteetive
force, stated the facts of the case, and added that ever

hended the prisoner on Thursday night, on suspicion 0,
