The magistrate believing the -blow was more serious in its character than erentuallj it turned out to be , held Westlake to bail to answer the charge at the sessions . The trial -was to hare taken place this daj , but , as Ellen Barry did not appear when called upon , the defendant was of course discharged . The woman , however , made b « r appearance in court shortly afterwards , and finding what her absence had effected , she instantly Trent to Union-street , armed with a spa . de , and began to smash the shop-windows and shop-front . Before she could be overpowered , she had broken fourteen or fifteen panes of glass , besides doing other damage to the shop . The

      complainant stated his case . and proved the damage he had sustained . The defendant said anr damage she had dozte had been anijih compensated by the money the complainant obtaiEed by informing against the Jew brothel keepets .

The other passengers in the carriage , amongst whom were two ladies , ronij . lained that one of the defendants ( Latham ) had , during the journey , made use of the most disgusting language , and that when remonstrated with , he became still worse , anil continued so up to their arrival at the tenninuv

      Mr . Trail ] inquired if any ot thepartie * who were in the carriage at the time were in attendance . Mr . Davis said that the gentlemen would have come forward , but thc- \ -were compelled to leave toivn this

      morning . Mr . Traill said lie much regretted the circumstance of the absence of some persons who were in the carriage at the time , to prove the offence , as Jie considered it was of a milch nioTe Serious description than the other rharge ; that the situation of ladies in a carriage with such a person , who was described as having used abominable language , must have been irksome and unpleasant in the extreme , and that had a witness of the fact been present , he should have inflicted the full penalty on the offender . Inspector Dalby stated , that when the defendants wore takeji to the station-hou > e , Latham ' * conduct there was verv bad , using language unfit to be repeated . Mr . Traill said , that although he could not punish Latham for his disgusting conduct in the carriage , he would fine him for using indecent language in the station-house . The defendants were then asked what they had to sa > iu answer to tire charge .

      Both defendants said , that with re > . jv-rt to the rharjrc of defrauding tht company , tbpy had no such intention . That , as tiny were U"t in the habit of travelling by railway , thpy went into tb ^ nr ? t-cla « . s carriages , thinking they were th ? right onps .

The magistrate then inUictt-d a tine of 20 s . on each defendant for that offence , and an additional 20 s . on Latham for hi * indecent conduct in the station-house .

      UEVEM OF THE MALT-TAX . —IMPORTANT MEETING AT CR 0 YD 0 N . Croydon-, Saturday Evening , Dec . 7 . —A numerous and highly important meeting of the gentry and influential fanners and agriculturists of the county of Surrey , took place this afternoon , pursuant to a numerously signed requisition in the Town Hall , Croydon , for the purpose of considering the propriety of taking steps tor urging on her Majesty ' s Government a repeal of the Malt-tax . Mr . Bleajjos was , at one o ' clock , unanimously called to the chair , and having read the requisition , calling the meeting , he said he felt great pleasure in being called on to preside over so numerous and so respectable a meeting , assembled , as he considered , for amost

      laudable purpose . He felt that an article of general if not of universal consumption , had been raised to such a price by the Government duty , as to be beyond the reach of the labouring classes , which demanded , in his opinion , an immediate amelioration ; he ( the chairman ) , thought that if the Malt-tax was abolished the Minister could do without it , and that the labourers , who were entitled to consideration , would be benefited . ( Hear , hear . ) Mb . Wkall proposed the first resolution . He said this was a subject not only of importance to the farmers , but to the labouring men of KngUmd , and no greater benefit could accrue to the farmers-tor the labourers of the country at large than a repeal of the Malt-tax . ( Hear . ) The effect of a repeal of tlie

      Malt-tax would be to call into operation the use of second-rate barlo . v , which , because it was not grown on the genial lands of this country , was precluded by the Government taxation from becoming a malting barley . AJ 1 therefore that could he done with sucfi barley was to the disadvantage of farmers , who could only sell it at the rate of 10 s . per quarter for the feeding of pigs and poultry . It was not the price of land that tended to increase the price of malt , but the Government taxation . The average price of land was sixteen shillings per acre , at the outside twenty shillings , and that land it was presumed would grow five quarters per acre . The Government ta . \ was twenty-two shiDiriirs per quarter : thus , whilst the acre of land at twentv shillintrs srrew fortv bushels of

      bar-Icy , the pounds ten shillings per acre was levied by the Government . Some time since the Government took off the tax upon beer ; and it was said that it was a boon to the farmers of the country . Now , as otic of that body , he ( Mr . We . aU ) denied that it was a boon either to the tanners or the labourers : for it bad created thnso sinks <> f iniquity and infamy—the beer shops—whiVh had not oiijy injured the fanner . - ' , but ruined labourers and their families . Many . schemes had been proposed for the benefit of the agricultural lnlidiu-ei- : some .-aid the aliutnieut s . vatejn , others the system of emigration would he best ; but bethought that the employment oi" labour was the

      only remedy for existing evil * — ( cheers ' — but what with the existing Coin Laws , the late Tariff , and the infamous Canada Bill , the farmers were unable to give employment to labour . ( Hear , hear . ) After expressing Ins conviction that there was not more labourers tu ; ui were actually wanted in England , Mr . Wcall concluded by moving a resolution— " That in the opinion of the meeting the Malt Tax was unjust in its principle and oppressive in its operation , inasmuch as it imposed entirely upon the tabouringclasses of this country , who are thereby taxed to such an extent as almost to prohibit the use of the bcvcniL r e best adapted to their wants . "

      \ lr . Roland seconded the resolution , wliich , OH lving put from the chair , was carried unanimously , ami . Nt loud acclamations . Mr . Thomas Ei . lm . vx moved the second resolution , "That the Matt-tax having been submitted to during a long period , while hopes were held out that when the war ceased that tax should be removed ; aud this meet ing having witnessed that sixteen millions of taxation has lieen removed whilst the Malt-tax remains , and that a moiety on the duty of wines has also been removed , is of opinion that the time has now arrived when this . severe impost on the comfort nud necessities of the people should at once cease . " Tho resolution having been seconded by Mr . Biiown , was at once agreed to , and a committee was appointed consisting of the ' gentlemen who had signed tlie requisition convening the meeting , to carry out its objects . Thanks were subsequently voted to the chairman , and the meeting separated .
