MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY. (Before Mr C. A, Wray R.M.) Police Cases.—J. G. Schaffer was charged on two informations with being drunk and disorderly in a railway carriage at Hinds, and with causing a disturbance in the carriage and on the railway plat form. He pleaded guilty, and- was defended by Mr Crisp, who pleaded pro vocation. D. O'Connor and B. Bulmer were charged with being drunk in a rail way carriage. O'Connor pleaded guilty, and Bulmer was defended by Mr Cutli bertson. All three cases were taken to gether, and evidence in support of the charges was given by Messrs Den by, stationmasaer, Hinds ; J. Rogers, guard on the train, and John Emerson, a passenger in the carriage in which the disturbance took place. The evidence ! showed that Schaffer was the chief offender, and that he had acted in a very annoying manner to Bulmer. The R.M said all were guilty, Schaffer more so than the others, and the travelling public must be protected from such people's mis behavior. He fined Schaffer 40a and costs £1 17s 2d, or fourteen days' impri sonment, and Bulmer and O'Connor 20s each, or forty-eight hours. ] Malicious Mischief.—Percy Eden and Nelly Eden were charged with damaging concrete, the property of John Crum. Mr Purnell appeared for defen dants. John Orum said that he had a contract for making concrete channelling in Aitken Street for the Borough Council. On Wednesday night, October 5, he had finished a chain and a half of channelling, and left it fresh. In the morning, when he earns back to work, he found that it had been destroyed by children running over it, and by a wheel barrow having been run along the bottom of the channel. The work was left un protected in the usual way. Occasion illy a littlo damage was clone to channel ling by accident, but in this case the damage could not have been done acci dentally, and the work could not be rein stated. The witness described the foot prints on the work. Two children, Mary Porter and Oscar Sando, gave evidence as to seeing the accused trampling the new concrete near Denshires, after the workmen had gone. Mr Purnell pointed out to the Bench that Mr Crum had loft his fresh concrete work wholly unpro tected, so that a child stepping across the gutter would almost inevitably break a piece off. An ad»ll would do the same in the dark. Mr Crum aJ.sQ left hjs wheel barrow there, and the little boy trying to wheel it, found it too heavy, and it sapped off the footpath into the channel. Mr Crum's negligence wns blameable in tho matter, and the damage done could have been arranged for with the father without bringing the case into Court at all. The Bench agreed with Mr Purnell that it was qarejess on the part of Mr Crum to leave fresh concrete unprotected by planks or in some way, but the children had also been mischievous per haps. The accused would be convicted and discharged, but were warned not to offend again, or they would be punished. Affiliation Case. -Samuel 3anty, the reputed father of the illegitimate child of Henrietta Wood, was ordered to pay 5s a week for its support. Civil Cases.—Thomas McDowell v. Holmes (Chertsey), £6 19s—judgment for plaintiff by default. Stewart v. Primmer, £55 4& sd—balance of a loan of £140, principal and interest, on & lien over crop,

Mr Cuthber am for plaintiff, Mr Wildinj * for defendant. Th?. facts of the case wen [ very fully brought out ill the crimina > charge, which was dismissed last week | against Primmer for breach of the Chattel! . Transfer Act. After Stewart's svidenci as to the amounts receive, from Printline] (the proceeds of crop sod wrongfully bj him), Mr Wilding'raised the question o: jurisdiction, which the Magistrate tool time to consider, and the case was ad journed for a week, George Howroyd v M. I, Brown, claim £5 9s—balance oi wages claimed to be owing for twentj ' weeks' work at 30s a week. Mr Purnel for plaintiff; Mr Cuthbertson for defen dant. Plaintiff said that in Decembei last he had asked for an increase of wages, from 25s to 30s. He was told he would get 30s up to harvest, with a £10 bonn for harvest, but that the 30s was not to go on after harvest. About the beginning of April reminded the manager thatharvest was over and asked if the 30s was to go on. The manager said he would ccc Mr Brown, but witness heard no more about it. On April 21, was paid in full at the rate of 30s a week. Had an eight days' holiday, and came back to work. Worked till September under the the impression that his wages were 30s, having told the manager distinctly when the in crease was asked for that he would not work for less than 30s. The manager said he was perhaps to blame in not telling plaintiff that Mr Brown declined to give the 30s. In answer to Mr Cuthbertson, plaintiff said Mr Brown had been very good to him, having had him cared for while suffering badly from delirium tremens. The manager, George Bonner, said Howroyd was distinctly told that Mr Brown would give 30s a week during the busy season, and a £10 harvest j bonus, but that 30s could not be paid all the year round. When Howroyd came back from his holiday he was not in a fit state for some time to talk business, and when he went on to work he was credited, as he had been m previous years, with 25s a week. Had promised to tell idowroyd when the 30s was to cease, but did not do so. Mr J. Brown, the defendant, gave evidence to the effect that in January Howroyd preferred a request for an increase of wages. I The rate was fixed then at 30s iv week during the buay time, with £10 bonus during harvest. Had no other conversation on the subject, and | would not pay more than 25s during the slack tim« as they could not afford to do it, and could get plenty of men to work for that money. The Magistrate said there had evidently been a misunderstanding, and the question Avas who was to suffer. Howroyd had made it plain enough to the manager that he would not remain to work at 25s ; the manager had evidently forgot to tell this to Mr Brown, and Howroyd was allowed to work on under the idea that he was to receive 30s. As the error lay with de fendant's side, judgment would be given for the amount.

The Rector and the Doctor.—Lord Bacon tells a rector in danger of losing his cure, saying, "Well, if I do, I shall kill seventy men." When asked why, he said, that he would begin to practice physic. This is from the preface to "Health : The New Method," as edited by W. Corrie Johnson 160, Tuam street, Christchurch. Dr Forest, a well-known I physician, teaches how much can be done at home without drugs. His books contains other important principles besides the ! Health Secret, sold in small pamphlets at four dollars to over 200,000 people, with a , pledge of secrecy. The Rev T. Norris writes:—" ' The New Method ' came to hand, and compared with it, the Hal! Treatment is nowhere. lam persuaded that a knowledge of what tins book con tains would save many from untold misery and burdensome expense." For less than two consultation fees the book will give odvice for lifetime. A circular may be obtained or copy seen by sending post card. Copies of books at Mail office.— Advt
