MAGISTERIAL.

JASHBURTON-THURSDAI, C3<B^w Mr G. A. Wray, 8.M.) Alleged Lakckny. — John Charles Wallace wag charged with the^ larceny of a totalisator ticket from Mi John Henry on the trojjting course the previous day. The Sergeant, however, elected to with draw the charge, as he was not certain that he could support it with evidence sufficient to convict. A charge against accused of being an idle and disorderly person, having no visible lawful means of support was also laid. The evidence of Constable McGill was given as to the alleged theft of the ticket, which really whs not denied, but as it turned out to be absolutely valueless, being on a horse that was not a winner, the charge of theft was withdrawn. The charge of vagrancy was laid as the police believed accused to be an idle person who lived upon his wits, and by what he could pick up in following race meetings, etc. Accused denied the chu^e'of vagrancy, and called a mate of his named .Dobell, to testify to his good ■■'character; This, witness said they both ■■belonged to respectable people, and he was willing to wire to Mr Sargood of Dnnedin, or the Rev. Mr Potter, of the Primitive Methodist Church, for verification of what he said. The Magistrate said it was lucky the charge had not been, established against accused, as the police meant to put down the habit some worthless people had of going about at race times victimise ing people. The charge would be dis* missed, but he warned the accused against even again; finding himself in a similar position. , Stray Horse.—H. G, Moore was fined 5s for allowing a horse to be astray at Tinwald. , , Maintenance.—John O'Kane was sued by his wife Annie O'Kane for mainten ance of herself and two children. Mr Cuthbertson appeared for the husband. Ihe wife said she was living with hw husband up to December last, when he turned her out after ill-treating her. She went to a friend's house for a time with her child, and then went to service; During the whole of that time she had supported herself and the boy, the husband having given her no aid. He had made an agreement to pay 10s a week for the boy, put he had not done so, Tke youngest child was born in August last, and she could not tow go to work for soiiie time. She had given he* husband £60 to build a house with. Her husband was not a drinking mai but was very bad Jumpered* and she could not live with' him. She was living in a two roomed house which she rented and paid for out of her savings. By Mr Cuthbert son : Made, an agreement with her husband ia January last, and signed a deed of separation, arcepcing 10s a week as maintenance. Of this money she had received nothing. She applied for the first instalment, but it had not been paid tbher. Her trustee might have got the first instalment. Mr Cuthbertson saii the first instalment of £2 had been paid and the receipt for it obtained. The Magistrate gave O'Kane a severe reprimand for his conduct towards his < wile, told him that he was liable to ax months imprisonment for leaving her in her present condition—with a baby only '» month old-that he would have bo pay 15s a week for hia wife's support, and if he^failed in this he would have to take severe consequences. An order was made for weekly payment .ofihe money. . Civil Ca.W-a. J. Kelly v P. Charles, £l:on a protested cheque. Mr Criap, for plaintiff, called Thomas Topping, barman at the Royal Hotel, who said at the re quest of defendant he had failed up the cheque produced and Charles signed it m witSess' presence. Had cashed cheques for him previously, but did not cash tins one AT J, Kelly said the cheque was presented at his hotel by Charles himself, md witness gave him two half sovereigns for it. Defendant said he had no re collection of having signed the cheque, nor any recollection of having received two half sovereigns from Mr Kelly. Mr Crisp said there was no question about the signature at the bank, the cheque having been stopped by Charles. Ihe Magistrate said there was no question apparently about the genuineness of the s&nature, and Charles ought to be ashamed" of himself for bringing such a defence After getting Kelly's money and not being able in the box to swear either way abSufc the signature Judgment would be given for plaintiff, with costs.

I sowed the Rime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was Spilt; I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime iri sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest Says —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime aad phosphate in the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate ; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most Time, although he v/as told,not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, g ays _He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of about 2| cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours "after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted, and fiaishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success.
