sea was returning. at 12 o'clock, from the House aeons..
moil, he took this chariot in Cockepar-street, and was
driven to Clargssigreet, a 11.6 d. fare. The coachman
insisted upon receiving 10a., was extremsly insolent and
abusive to the General. his valet, and the watchm an—
th-v paid the fellow to get rid of him, took his number,
and issued the present summon*. .

hackney-coach proprietor attended, and said he was the
owner of 12 coaches, one of which, not a chariot, bore
the number 144—he clearly proved that his coach was

fellow who uses it for thepurpeses of extortion„as a lady

burrequare, a few days ago, and charged, in the most
abusive manner, 13s. 6d. for the fare.
