MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—FRIDAY.

(Before Messrs Alcorn and Harrison, J.P.'s. Larceny. — Henry Poppleton was charged with having stolen the sum of 10s from James Nee, and also with fre quenting the Ashburton. racecourse with the object of committing larceny. Mr Cuthbertaon appeared for the defence. Accused had played on .Nee the old game of asking him to go halves on a totali- j sator ticket on a horse m a race and dis appearing with the money without buying the ticket. Detective Robert Neil, Chriat church, and Constable Smart-gaveaccused the character of being a habit and repute thief, who made his living by preying en unwary or druuken men. Accused, giving evidence m hia own behalf, said he was a jockey and was engaged to ride Loiter, but was 41b overweight. When he* had no racing work to do he usually worked ior his brother-in-law on a farm. Had been convicted when he was six years old. After arranging with Nee got two tickets at the totalisator office—one on Tiger Lily and one on Inchkeith. The ticket on Tiger Lily was among his effects at the Police Station. A smart passage at arms took place be tween the Bench, Mr Cuthbertson, and Sergeant Moller regarding the cross examination of the prisoner, who per sistently refused to answer questions as to his past career. The Bench decided to dismiss the second charge, and considered the charge of larceny proved, and sen tenced accused to two months' hard labor.

Selling the Fortune hunters.

The " Bulletin " says that recently m a certain locality m New Zealand a clever member of the female persuasion worked the oracle as follows :—She published an advertisement setting forth that a dark-haired and truly affectionate maiden of 18, with bright eyes and private income, desired the acquaintance of a good-looking gentle man for the usual purpose, and 22 in dividuals at once concluded that she Was some wealthy squatter's daughter Who wanted to elope, and wrote stat ing that they were the sort of persons ; required. Then she sent them the photo of an angel with a rosebud mouth, and asked for enough money to pay her passage to town, as her property was still m the hands of her trustees. Ten of the crowd backed out of the crisis, but the other twelve sent the coin, and made 12 separate appointment at the railway station, where, unhappily, the dark haired creature with the large private income altogether failed to turn up. In fact, she nsver turned up, but enquiries being made at the post office to which the money had been sent, it transpired that the orders had all been cashed by an elderly person with a face like a hidden crime, and that she had promptly leftt he district with the lot. The story closes just here.
