POLICE COURT.—This Day.

Before Thomas Beckham Esq., R.M.

DRUNKENNESS,

Several drunkards were dealt with as the Act directs; two for being drunk and dis orderly were fined 20s. and coats. VAGRANTS.

James Peaton was charged with being an incorrigible rogue, &o. . Sentenced to six months in gaol. Margaret Gainsborough was charged with being a rogue and a vagabond, &c. The prisoner said it was the first time she had ever appeared in Court. _ His Worship said she must have a bad memory, as there were no less than twenty previous convictions against her. Sentenced to three months in prison. WIFE ASSAULT. Frederick Britt was charged with assaulting the wife of his bosom, for which he ought to be ashamed of himself. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. His Worship asked if the case could not be settled. . The wife said that if she did he would beat her again. .•,.,. vi , His Worship said that was very likely. He was sorry to say there was a great deal of brutality towards women. To the prisoner : Do you drink ? Prisoner: "Yes sir?" His Worship : Ah, that is it. If you would keep away from the pot-house these affairs would not happen. The wife said she would forgive him this time. ~.i_. His Worship, in ordering the prisoner to be discharged, warned him that if ever brought to that Court again he would get all the law allowed. The prisoner left the Court with his wife and children. TJIK HYLTON CASTLE'S CREW. William Taylor, an able seaman on board the Hylton Castle, summoned Capt. Wm. Scott, the master, with assaulting him on the high seas on the 6th May. Mr Beveridge appeared for the com plaint, and objected to Captain Scott sitting beside his solicitor. Mr Weston, for the defendant, protested against such a course being pursued by Mr Beveridge. Mr Beveridge saidthattke Captain refused to allow one of his men to sit at his cabin table a few days ago, and that was the rea- 4 aon he took this objection. A separate seat, independent of the solioi tor's form, was provided Captain Soott, and thus ended the difficulty. Mr Weston took objection to the proceed ings He averred that the Court had no jurisdiction unless the defendant was charged with an indictable offence. He also called attention to the faot that immediately after the Captain gav.e one of the men his discharge the other day, after a similar charge, several others of the crew at once came forward to prefer charges of assault in the hope of similar results. Mr Beveridge replied that he brought the case at common law, as the defendant had not been guilty of an indictable offence. Mr Weston argued that the Court had no power to deal with the case in a summary manner. The Court could only dismiss the case or send it for trial. The Court said that the Act had been in operation since 1866, and such a defence had never been urged before. It had taken the Court entirely by surprise, never hav ing been mooted before. Under the circumstances the Court had no power to interfere. His Worship, however, remarked that there appeared some Bource of unpleasantness on board the vessel which he hoped would be allayed, as it would prove. profitless both to owners, master and men. The case was dismissed. Captain Scott was also charged with using threatening language towards James Farmer on the 3rd July. Mr Hesketh appeared for the complainant. His Worship asked whether the matter could not be arranged amicably. Mr Westbri remarked that circumstances had arisen which had warranted the captain in making, the determined stand he had. Mr Hesketh said his client did not wish to proceed again to sea in the ship. The affair arose out of the mate painting the ship a light green instead of a dark green. His Worship hoped they would put a brighter colour on it. The mate refused to settle the matter, and the case proceeded. The mate gave his evidence in support of the charge, and stated that the captain abused him very much on Thursday morning. On his asking next morning if he could go ashore to see a magistrate, he replied "Yes, you can go to h if you like." Witness said "Very well," and put on his coat for the purpose of doing so. He now wished the captain re strained. , In cross-examination the mate said it was not his duty to look after the cargo—a clerk was engaged. Wm. Tyler, the steward, partially corrobo rated the mate. Capt. Scott was examined and said that the complainant had provoked him exceed ingly.) His Worship recommended that the cap tain should give the mate his discharge, as he was quite sure from what had transpired that they could not agree if they went to sea again. The captain refused, and the Court ordered him to enter into sureties to keep, the peace. tijCapt. Soott was also charged with assault ing John Neville, an ordinary seaman on board the Hylton Castle, while on the high seas.

The case was adjourned until Thursday next.

John Taylor was then charged with-wilful disobedience of lawful commands of the cap tain on the 6th and 7th May. This case was also adjourned until Thurs day next.
