V= — — -iLJ-L An adjournment of half-an-hourwaa granted to allow of defendant making some arrango / ment with his wife. The parties not being able to agree, the Bench ordered defendant to find two sureties of £25 each, and to enter into his own re cognizances of £50, to keep the peace for three months. CITY KATES. James Dyer was summoned for having neglected to pay £4 City rates. Defendant did not appear, and judgment was recorded for the plaintiff after service of the summons had been proved by the Town Clerk and the Collector. * THE BENEFIT OF HAVING A LEGAL DEFENDER.' George McCasslin was charged with driving furiously through Newmarket on the 25th instant. Defendant pleaded not guilty, and Mr Joy appeared to defend him. Constable Jackson swore to seeing defen dant slack the reins on leaving the toll-bar, and gallop fiercely along the road towards the Junction Hotel. He did not see him abtempt to pull up the horse. By Mr Joy: Defendant had no spurs. He could not speak as to a whip. . Mr Lupton was with defendant. He could! not say whether there was a train passing the station at the time. B.e did not recollect hearing the whistle. It was a very spirited animal defendant was driving. A witness named McGarry corroborated the constable's evidence as to defendant starting off at a gallop after leaving the toll bar. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Joy based the defence on a point of law. Although Mr Broham had put in evi dence the Municipal Police Act, he had not complied with the Ist and 3rd sections, which made it necessary that the boundaries of districts coming under the range of the Act should be pro olaimed in the Provincial Gazette, and such Gazette tendered in evidence. Mr Broham admitted that the objection was fatal. The Bench accordingly dismissed the case. Mr Joy said that irrespectively of the point he had raised he could have brought evidence to disprove the charge. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Henry Sims was charged with a breach of By-law No. 6, by throwing orange peel on the footpath in Queen-street, on the 22nd ins bant. Defendant's father pleaded guilty for his son, but said the offence was committed from want of thought. Mr Inspector Broham said he did not wish to presa the charge, but he wished to have it made public that such conduct was punish able. His Worship the Mayor commended the police for trying to stop such a dangerous practice. Under the circumstances they would dismiss the charge on payment of costs by defendant, A sailors' home ! William Bates, in addition to being accused of dmnkennesa in Queen-street last night, was charged with being the occupier of a house in West Queen-street frequented by persons having no visible means of subsist ence. Sergeant Saunderson deposed to going to defendant's house on the 25th inst., late at night. He went in consequence of com plaints made. There was a great noise going on. When he went in he found several sailors there, and a number of abandoned women. Among these he re cognised three : Christina Wilson, Annie Knox and Lucy Neal, aliasi Duncan. (The last named was the half-caate woman con cerned in the late murder in Upper Queen atreet.) They were all of the lowest class of prostitutes. Both prisoner and his wife had Been warned to conduct their house better. It was a licensed lodgiog-house. A con stable and Sergeant-Major Pardy both spoke as to the ill-repute of the house. After hearing the evidence the Bench sent the prisoner to gaol for one mouth with hard labour. FIEEY CHIMNIES. William Wasley and Thomas Dickenson were each charged with allowing tho chim niea of there several residences to take fire on specified days. Both pleaded guilty, and were fined each 53. and costs. MR LAISHLEY'S OBJECTIONS. Jno. W. Pearse was accused of allowing his chimney to catch fire in Queen-street, on the 16th inst., contrary to the city by-law. The offence was proved beyond doubt, one witness saying it was the " most disgracefullest case" he had ever come across. He had seen battery chimnies swept at the Thames, but he had never seen so much soot come down before.

Mr Laishley, who appeared for the .defen dant, said he intended to dispute the validity of the information on the same grounds as those upon which Mr Joy had been successful, and upon others. In the first place he ob jected that Constable Mulville was not authorised to sue on behalf of the City Council. "Boacoe on Evidence " distinctly laid it down that a corporation must sue in their own name. In the second place he maintained that the city was not constituted a borough in terms of the Municipal Corpo ratior Act, which required that it should be proclaimed by the Superintendent in tho Gazette. No evidence of thitt kind had been tendered. " Addition on Tort 3 " laid down the principle that " by-laws were looked upon with great suspicion and jealousy by the Courts." Then again proceedings to recover penalties must be specially directed by the Council. This was plainly inculcated in the 383 rd section of the Act. The 176 th section of the Act provided that every order or document shall be sufficiently authorised if signed by two Councillors and the Town Clerk. In this case there was no such authority. Mr Broham here interrupted Mr Laishley. The act he took it did not require any bring ing into force. It came into force of itself as an Act of the General Assembly. Mr Laishley disputed this. Perhaps Mr Broham would allow him to continue his objections ; he had several more : in fact he had only just begun. (Dr Ellis, who was waiting to give evidence in a case to come on afterwards, hero rushed out of Court, an example followed by several others.) The Official Documents Evidence Act laid down unmistakably the process by which such Acts were brought into force. In section 22 of Johnstone's Justice s of the Peace would be found

Dr Home said he and his colleague really could not wait 7 to hear what was to be found there. They thought that such objections had better be left to be fought out in another place. They knew that in numerable cases of the kind were on tho books of the Court as precedents, and as they had. other business to attend to they could not afford to sit there all day listening to objections.

i Mr Laishley : Then I presume it's no use my going on. Dr. Home : Not the slightest. The case has been proved, and the defendant must pay his 5s costs.

Mr Laishley requested the Bench to take a ifffte of his objections.

V STRAYING HORSES. Robert Duder and Richard Duder were oharged with allowing two horses to stray at tne North Shoro on the 20th inut. . Defendants pleaded gnilty. w 41. Bond) the sPeoial constable at the fIQMh, came forward said : " I'm the

persecutor in this case, and I only come up to say that I believe it was a perfect dissident. Defendants were fined 10s each and costs. CITY BY-LAWS. Two cases in which the defendants had since complied with the requirements of the law were allowed to be withdrawn. A SINGULAR HALLUCINATION. On the medical testimony of Doctors Ellis and Baynton Sarah Cummings, of Tauragna, was sent to the Lunatio Asylum as being of unsound mind. According to the evidence the patient who, was about 50, imagines she is forbidden by the Lord to sleep. She also tells people that the angel of the Lord has appeared to her to pave her from her •husband who wanted to kill her. She was also under other extraordinary delusions.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) JAMES B. FRANCIS V. HENRY WRIGHT. Claim, £5 13s. Mr J. B. Russell for plaintiff. Mi' Francis having proved his debt, judg ment was given for plaintiff. REUBEN ELLEY V. JOHN UREEN. Claim, £S lid., goods. Judgment for plaintiff. PRITCHARD AND CO. V. SAMUEL DAVIS. Claim, £8 17s. 7d. This was a claim for sundry joints of beef and mutton, and for which defendant had omitted to pay. Mr Dornwell informed the Court that defendant held a lucrative position and his family were in positions and earning wages. Mr Davies stated that the post he held was really one of honor and not of profit. He was pound-keeper without a salary. His Worship enquired if he got nothing for pound-keeping ; if he did it for the pub lic good without pecuniary consideration. Mr Davi3 said he lived rent free, but that only saved about £20 a year. [A. lady here informed Mr Dornwell that defendant made 12s 6d on Monday last by pounding her cows.] Defendant looked round with astonish ment, but said nothing, Mr Dornwell said he would be fair with defendant if lie would shew a disposition to pay. His Worship: You should not have trusted him. Mr Dornwell : I should not have done so, but he talked my man over, and got credit from week to week, and the balances of the weekly bills grew to the present claim. ; The case was at length adjourned till Friday next to see what arrangement Mr Davis could make in respect of his butcher's bill, defendant promising to produce his pounding book to prove to the Court that his income scarcely reaches £100 a year.

COSTELIO V. WARRELL. Claim, £1 ss.

Mr J. B. Eussell for plaintiff j Mr Keatley for defendant.

The plaintiff in this case was a farmer at Epsom, and claimed for balance of an acre of grass field.

The case cause 1 considerable amusement in Court. A surveyer and several witnesses were examined.

His Worship in giving judgment for plain tiff remarked upon the folly of bringing such trivial matters into Court. The actual difference between them had only been ss, and the costs to defendant was £2 3s Gd.

This closed the cases,
