ASHBURTON— TH U RSDAY. [Before Mr C. A. Wrny, S.M.] A Pbohibit — T. H. Bateman was charged with beiDg on licensed premises while a prohibition order wkh m force against him He acknowledged havine been m the Somersat Hote. on Febi vary 8, but said he had nothing to drink.-The licensee o r the Sumerset Hotel Bftid that on February 8 accused came into his hotel and asked for liquor on credit. Witness found that he , was a prohibited man and bu died him out at the baok door. — The Sergeano said ac- j cased was a drunkard, and the prohibition order against him did not expire till March 11. ■■ Aocused was an upholsterer by trade and a very superior woikqyvn, 'vho could always get plenty of work if he liked, bu< liquor was His ruin. He waß continually tryipg to get liquor. — His Worship fined acoubed £1, and renewed the order. Maintbnance. — Mrs Parkin appeared to compel her sous to pay arrears of mainte nance. An order of Court had been issued \ tome time ago that the sons should contri bute weekly to their mother's support. There were now arreara owing by two sons, both of whom were martied, and one had children. AppHoant Baid she had aeked them to help her, but they had only paid a little sinoe the order had been issued, bhe had been living with her youngesb Bon who had kept her for the last twelve weeks. He was m no better position than any of the other brothers, one of whom was earning 8« a day as a painter. —Fred- T. Parkin, m the box, said he was nob able to pay as he had more debts to pay than he oould manage. Those debts had been contracted while he was out of work. He had offered to pay hit mother £1 on Saturday night if she would withdraw thiß case, but she would not. There were two brothers, single, m Wellington earning £3 a week, ugainßt whom his mother had not asked for any order, but who were better able to pay than any of the married ones. — Ernest Parkin, with whom his mother lived, and who was supporting her, said his brother Fred had been m fairly good work, and witness saw no waion why be should not pay 2s 6d a week if he had oonstant work. Knew that his brother's wife and children had been ill. Paid his mother 15s a week for board. His Worship said it was want of will, not want of ability, that was the oau&e of the an ears not being paid. He would not vary the order, and would require £1 to be paid bow, and £1 next Saturday, failing which, a fortnight's imprisonment. By Laws — A farmer was charged with driving a gig m East streeb after sundown — to wit 11.30— without side lights. He said he had the lights all right, bub no candles. He had collided with another trap, and the repairs cost him ss. His Worship thought the payment of another 5s m the shape of a line might meet the case. Maintenance— Brown v. Brown. In this case the wife sought for maintenance from her husband, from whom she was living apart, m consequence of the ill usaga to which it was alleged he had often subjected her. Mr Wilding appeared for the wife, and Mr Purnell for the husband. Brown is a farmer at Wakanui, and he has been married to his wife for nineteen years. The hearing of the case disclosed great unhappi ness m the home. There were four children of the marriage, and six months ago, the wife bad leit the husband , taking with her one of the boys and a girl. She left because of the the threats of violence used by her husband, whose conduct bad been such that Bhe had often had to go out of the house m the night time to escape from him, and take refuge m the whare. When she took refuge m the children's room, he came to the door and kicked it open. She would not go back to her husband, as it was impossible to live with him. She gave evidence of aruel ill usage that she had been subjected to four years ago, after which he had promised reformation but was rb bad aB ever. He had continued his druukenuess and ill usage up to the time she left home She knew of no cause she had ever given him for ill using her. By Mr Purnell — Had posi tively refused to go and live at the Lew , form to which her husband had shifted, but that had nothing to do with her leaving birr. Had never sold a penny's worth off the farm, and had only left her home once before, when she went to her son's. Her husband had most of his meals m Ashburton. Had never refused to do his washing or pook his meals. Had often remonstrated with her children for calling him " Old Bill," and had neyer taught her phildren to be disrespectful towards her husband. Had a warm temper sometimes, but had never thrown a carving knife or pitchfork at him. Neither had she taken the children away against his wishes. Had herself brojten open the bed room door, because the child m the room with her hus band was streaming aB if he were to go into fits. That was the time her husband struck her with the haimee. She had threatened to knock his brains out with a tomahawk. Was not willing that he should have any of the children. Mr Purnell read letters Eent to his wife by Mr Brown, asking her to come back and live with him, but she deolined, and took the present proceedings. By the Bench — The more immediate cause of her leaving home was having had to leave the house m the night and escape to the wharf to avoid bis violence, Went out to nurse to earn money to buy clothes for her self and children, aB be had not given her a penny for ten years. By Mr Purnell— The accounts (produced) for £14 and £10 to the draper were mostly for things ior himself, but he often stopped her credit at. the drapers.— Mary Brown, a daughter, said she had Been her fattier beat her mother, and heard him frequently or*der her off bhe place. This, however, was nob during the last bwo years, as witness hid not lived at home for that time. Her father was frequently the worse of liquor, and used very bad language. Was present on one occasion when he was very violent and dragged her mother about the house. Had sometimes heard her mother use strong language towards her father. Had written of her father aB " Bill," because he bad not treated her properly. Had gone and left her father to find bis own meals. — The evidence of Letitia, another daughter, was to the effect that her father had been frequently intoxicated, and violent towards her mother. Her mother had a quick temper and had often used strong language towards her father. Had herself called him ' Old Bill," and her mother had often told her to v diaobey orders given by her father. Her mother did not like her father and wanted to get away from him.— Samuel, a son of thirteen years also gave evidence. He did not go to school, bub did not know why his father did not send him. Had heard his father fcwear «tt and seen him strike his mother once I-threi yeara-ago. They^had-olten violent quarrels.— Daniel Leddy, a neighbor, said the parties did not live happily together, and 'he had heard very rough talk between them. There was a lot of disagreeableneßS, ■ "•' ' v [Left Sitting)

M. Hanotaux said he did not believe the reports. If they were true, how ever, the incident had occurred against the wishes and instructions of the French Government, since it was not the desire of that Government to approach Sokoto. M. Ledon, French Minister for the Colonies, was also seen by the British Ambassador, and declared that there were no French troops present m the Sokoto region. Commenting on these statements I The Times remarks that the contention I that the at rival of a French force at Argungu Tagga s unconnected with | any invasion of Sokoto renders it necessary to cautiously accept the denials of members of the French Ministry, It adds that the French troops ought to be confined to the west bank of the Niger.
