POLICE COURT.

A.SHBURION— S A.TURDAY.

(Before the Hon Major Steward and T. E. Uptson, Esq., J.P.s)

Drunkenness — Mark Williams, for being helplessly druuk (first) offence), wa* cautioned and discharged, as he had been lucked up ail night. I Interfering with the Police— James Heseltine, ior whom Mr Cuthbertsjn ap paared, was charged with interfering wit conotables Jackson, Drury and Sergeant Molier m the execution of iheir duty. Sergeant Moller said he had brought the caso to let the public understand that they must not interfere with the police

m any manner; as if respectable trades men like Mr Heseltine were allowed to meddle wich the polioe, there was no knowing how far the friends and sympathisers of bad characters might noi be encouraged to go.

Constable Drury said he had assisted to arresc the last prisoner hi the Somerset Hotel. Mr Heseltine came m a very ex cited state to the oab into which ihty were puttiog prisoner, and asked why they had taken him pub of the bar and left half a dozsn others. To Mr OuthDertson -What Mr fleael tme *aid did not delay the getting away of the man. ■ '

To Sergeant Molier — Mr Heseltine drew his attention from the prisoner. To the Bench — Understood Mr Heseltine was finding fault with the aotiou of the police. Thought he was anejry. Constable David Jaokson said when they arrested the prisoner, Hnseltine was m the bar parlor. Took prisoner out into the yardi and when he was m the oab Baw Heseltine go and ask constable Drury whatrigbthe had to take them m outof the bar. Told him he had better go an 1 talk to the Sergeancif he wanted to know the law. . ' ■

To Mr Outhbertson— Heseltine was ex cited -meant by that that he was aflaeted by what he had drunk.

Sergeant Mdliersaid hesent Jacksonand Drury to arrest prisoner m the Somerset bar and went round to the stable to get a cab. Heselfcine came to him m an excited manner and said he had no right to take the man oub of the house, be had singled him out from others just as bad. He (Sergeant MSiler) told him if he had any complaint to make he should report it to the authorities snd not interfere with the police. Heseltine was buUying the police and he considered that he had had a glass, although he did not mean to say be was drunk. Mr Cuthbercson considered It one of the most trivial cases ever brought befose Thfey had - 0n1 .7 g° c the smmnons at 20,30 this morning and had brought no witnesses. Mr Heseltine had not delayed the police for a moment m executing their duty nor was he the least the worse for liquor.

James Heseltine said he was out at a sale yesterday, and about half-past six had a drink with a customer. Had not had any before, and refused others. Saw Sergeant M oiler come into the Somerset tor and go out and come m agiin wi h the two constables. Asked Jackson what he was locking the man up for, and he replied that if wicnets had anything to say he ouuld talk to the Sergeant. The man taken was sitting quietly m a row with others. Said it was a queer law if they could take a man out of (he house lik-> that. When challenged to report the police, said he would say what, he had to say before their faces.

To Sergeant M oiler— Was no more excited at the time thin he was now. Had said that it * t.Ud his blo-d aa an Englishman ' 10 see a man locked up like that. Sail it W3S unEnglish to pck out on »man ; why didn't they take the lot? 'I lie Bench said their impression of the case was that the police had m the ordinary manner arrested a mau for drunkenness; who had since pleaded guilty to that thargo, and that Mr Heaelbino had acted very unwisely. It was a most dangerous thing for any bystander to express an opinion, or appear to express Ryrapathy with a prisoner under such circumstances, as it mit>hb incite him to resistance and prompt o'.hers unfriendly to the police to interfere, with Berious results. The Benoh did not find that the polce had been disturbed to the extent of hindrance, but hoped Mr Heseltlne and all other citizens would accept tho present charge as a warning and be careful m no way to interfere with th.c police m the execution of their duty. The charge would be dismissed.

Stealing Fruit.— A tmall lad charged with stealing gooseberries from a garden and taking up stones and threatening the proprietor, was fined 5j on the first charge and convicted and discharged on the second, and m default of pajmqnt of the fine was ordered to be kept m cudtody till 6 p.m.

WELLINGTON WOOL SALES.

Wellington, January 17

To-day's wool sales were most successful. The number of bales pub on the market was a record number viz., 3250. The attendance waß unusually large and tbe bidding brisk and spirited, a large proportion of the lots submitted being quitted at satisfactory prices. The competition between English < and Colonial buyers for the choice lots was \ very keep, Later. To-day's wool sales opened with rather a want of spirit but as the sale proceeded the bidding grow more spirited and culminated when a fine clip of 200 bales from the Wairarapa was sold m lots at B£d, 9d, 9Jd and lOd, the latter prices being record ones for the colony for the season. The greater portions of the good wool sold at 8d to B£d, and other wool sold m proportion.

IOHBISTCHURCUI OHBISTCHURCU PRODUCE REPORT. I (From Thursday 'a Press*) } Farmers are beginning to offer samples of . I oats, ryegrass and oa'tsheaf chaff, but buyers • I are very little disposed to operate at all at I present, and are awaiting developments m r I outside markets to as3isf them m arriving . lat a fair idea of what opening prices are , I likeiy to settle down at. There are still I fair stocks of old grain and seed to be dw . I poßed of, and merchants naturally prefer ' I uleirLng out the previous season's surpluses I before operating at all m the new grain. I Hence farmers will probably find it will be j I more satisfactory to await a more active and' I absorbent market before pressing sales too I early m the soason. I Wheat— Millers are buying very cau- I tiously, and only as absolute necessities I force them to, but it is generally believed I that the bulk of what is left of the 1895 I crop will atill be required before the new I crop wheat is fairly passing into consump- I tion. Prices are Bomewhat erratic, and are I still- more nominal than actual. Pearl ib I most m demand, and commands up to 3s 100 I f.o.b, Lyttelton ; Tuscan and Hunter b are I nominally worth about 2d to 3d below this I price. . Oats— Prices have eased down during the past few weeks, owing to the almost entire absence of outßide demand. Holders m store, however, are, generally speaking, holding firmly, and probably within the next few weeks a better enquiry will be apparent. Parcels of early new crop mean time are neglected, and growers will ! probably find it advisable to hold them back for a firmer enquiry. BABLEY~At present outside markets do nor appear to be wanting supplies, and it may be some weeks yet before it is definitely ascertained if we shall have an outlet tor our surplus supplies. [These quotations, unlesß otherwise specfied, are the nee cash prices paid to the producer free of brokerage or commission, and for delivery at country stations within a twenty-five mile radius of town.
