POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Dr Home and T. Macfarlane Esqs.,

Justices.)

DPvtTNKENNESS,

Mary Smith, Richard Martin, James Catch pole, were fined for being drunk.

DRINK AND VAGRANCY,

Mary Humphrey (a Maori) was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Queea street last night, and also with, a breach of the Vagrant Act.

The latter charge was dismissed, but for the former, prisoner was fined 10s and costs, with the option of a trip to the Kyber Pasa road. DESERTION. John Coleman and John Callaghan two sailors, were charged with desertion from the ship Queen of Nations. Both prisoners pleaded guilty. The Court sentenced them to twelve weeks imprisonment with hard labour. .

"ARMS AND THE WOMEN I SING."

Mary Scott was charged with using abusive language to Isabella Rose on the 20th July by calling her a drunkard and a blackguard and other uncomplimentary names. Mr Laishley appeared for the defendant. The complainant was not represented by counsel.

Isabella Rose deposed she was the com pltinant in the case. On the 20th instant Mrs Scott came to her gate, in Stanley street. There was a dispute about some money which was owing to a Mr Gardiner. Without any provocation the defendant made use of the language described in the charge. Mrs Scott had been in the habit of reviling her since April last. Once she hit witness ia the face with a tea-tray. By Mr Laishley : There was no one pre sent when the bad language was used by Mrs Scott. She was quite sure she did not use »ny but the best of language herself. Elizabeth King, a good-looking girl of about fifteen, deposed to Mrs Scott asking her on one occasion if she did not know that Mrs Rhodes was a drunken blackguard. She could not say anything about what took place on the day mentioned in the chargs. This witness caused some laughter when she was asked by the clerk what she was, by reply ing—a Roman Catholic. Mr Laishly submitted that no charge had been substantiated, but to prove the utterly triumped-up nature of the accusation he would call witnesses.

Mrs Scott then went into the witness-box, and gave her version of the story, which was at total variance with the yarn Bpun by the complainant. According to this witness the boot was altogether on the other leg. Mrs Rhodes called her the most abominable names which she wouldn't defile her lips by repeat ing. Eliza Pratt, a neighbour of Mrs Scott's, §aye evidence as to that lady's character. he believed Mrs Scotfc to be a highly respectable woman.

Witness caused some amusement by mis taking one of the Court's questions and lett ing out some strong observations against Mrs Scott, which she afterwards explained applied to Mrs Rhodes. A boarder named James Ashley bore con firmation of Mrs Scott's good reputation. Complainant here called out that Mrs Scott's boarders were not respectable. She was of course ordered to be silent.

The Court decided that there was no need for further evidence. The case would be dismissed. The question of costs waa left till after the next case was settled.

A counter charge of abusive language, in which defendant and complainant changed positions, was then gone into. Mr Laishley, who still represented Mrs Scotfc, explained that his client had been advised to bring the case on against Mrs Rhodes before. All her boarders had heard and seen that person's behaviour. The action taken by Mr Rhodes in bringing a complaint was incomprehensible. It had, however, the effect of making Mrs Scott some forward. He was anxious that the affair should be thoroughly investigated, as his client's livelihood depended on her character, which Mrs Rhodes had assailed : Evidence was then given that on the 25th of July Mrs Rhodes threatened to tear Mrs Scott's eyea out and do many other untender things. At the conclusion of the evidence the Court said they were quite satisfied that Mrs Rhodes was the aggressor. Mrs Rhodes : Yes ; because Mrs Scott's got a lawyer who can speak for her and tell Res.

Constable Mulville : SILENCE ! Mrs Rhodes : I haven't got the money to get a lawyer to tell lies for me. Constable Mulville : SILENCE !

The Bench decided that Mrs Rhodes must be bound over for three months to keep the peace, in two sureties of £5 each and her own of £10. Costa were ordered against Mrs Rhodes, but the Bench intimated they hoped each party would pay their own. TWO VETERANS. Johanna Grace, an old lady about seventy, vas charged on the complaint of Jane Smith, wiotlier venerable dame, with threatening to 'eence her life on the 13th June last.

This was a very similar case to the other. L Mr Thome appeared for the defendant, and Mr Laishley for the complainant. TJte'complainant, who lives near the prison *t Mount Eden, detailed the circumstances which accompanied the threat. It waa not » solitary case, fer defendant was in the habit of using such threats. I ouisa Wigginß, a married daughter of the complainant, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. Mrs Grace was a very V- "yoking woman. By Mr Thorn : Her mother waa a very quieb woman. She never gob drunk. She tl»d not deny that she took a glass oecasipa^lly uut she would repeat that her mother never got drunk, though ahe might be a little the wor M for liquor. (Laughter.)

Thomas Merrigan was acquainted with b. vb parties. He lived "second nexfdoor" to Mrs Grace. Witness proceeded to give that lady a very bad character. He had seen her flourishing a knife at people on several occasions and threatening to rip their g open.

By Mr Thorne : He was formerly a waidor in the Stockade, and was dismissed. Onfi of the charges brought against him was brought through the information of Mrs Grace. Of course he did not bear her any great love in consequence. That had nothing to do with the present case. Other witnesses were about to be called by the prosecution, but the Bench expressed a disinclination to hear them. They had heard quite enough. The defendant was then put in the box, and stoutly denied ever threatening com plainant or anybody else. Mr Laishley : She had been in that Court before, rive years ago. She had been bound over to keep the peace, but that was with her own consent to accommodate Mr Beckham an<l make pace. (Laughter). She used a knife to cut her food, and for no other purpose.

Mr Thorne addressed the Court for the defence. He ascribed the present charge to a counter charge brought by the defendant against the complainant's husband. He also alluded to the time which had elapsed since the alleged threat was used.

Dr Home said sometimes actions were brought some years after; his own experience could testify to that. The Court was per fectly satisfied without hearing anything more.

Mr Laishley pressed to be heard. He had something to say about costs.

Dr florne remarked he shouldn't wonder, most lawyers had. The Bench had made up their minds. The defendant would have to be bound over for three months, in two sure ties of £10 each and in her own recognizances of £20. Each party would pay their own coats to tcaoh them better behaviour in

future

BREACH OF MERCHANT SHIPPING- ACT.

Donald Stuart, captain of the schooner Ivanhoe, was charged with wilfully leaving a certain seaman, to wit, John James, at a certain place, to win, Wangapoa, before the expiration of the term for which he had ship ped.

Mr Alexander appeared tor the defendant, who pleaded guilty. Mr Hill Collector of Customs prosecuted.

Mr Brookfield, who attended as ©rown Prosecutor, said he would explain the circum stances. The Captain, when the vessel went away on her voyage to Samoa, via Whan gapoa, was unable to clear in Aucklnnd v owing to not having a qualified mate on board. James, who was a qualified mate, shipped for the voyage, and joined the schooner at Whangapoa. The captain here took the clearance and ship's papers which James had brought from Auckland, and sailed without him. This was in direct contraven tion to the terms of part 3 section 20G, of the Act.

The Bench fined the defendant £10 and costs.
