Prisoner said he was in«iiquor at the time, but he did not think he was guilty. Mary Brady deposed that prisoner was her husband, and that on the 22nd of May her husband-came in and appeared under the m flnence of drink, and began making a row. He took a brass candlestick and shook it over her while she was very ill in bed. He also got the axe'and used violent language. She sent for her father to protect her, when the constable came in. She was afraid of r h j,n .yfceri id. drink. She had only been c6n 'fined on the, .previous day, and was the mother of five young children. Constable Marony was called in on the day mentioned,'and found the prisoner very violent, with the axe in his hand. He took the axVfrom him, arrested him, and brought him to the lock-up. Prisoner said it was not often that he got drunk. He was a teetotaller for twenty months, and did not get drunk during the period. If his "Worship would look over it he would never get drunk again. 1 His Worship: It is not for me to look over it. Whyidon't you join some Good Templar Society? As it "seems you are not able to restrain yourself, you must" be bound, over to keep the peace for six months, yourself in £50, and'two sureties in £25 each. A HARMLESS GOAT. Mr Edward Isaacs appeared in answer to a summons to shew cause for allowing his goat to be in an unenclosed piece of land near Eden Crescent on the 23rd May. CftigtaW Mulville laid the information, and stated the particulars. Mr Isaacs said he would not willingly dis obey the by-law. The goat had been tethered on the land for the last six' months, and had not been an annoyance to any person. He -VDttld like tirarfk Constable Mulville who induced him to bring the case into Court ? Constablß-Mulville was not willing to say as he did not think it was necessary. * Mr Isaacs said if the constable would fur nish the name to him be would put two guineas "in the poor box. His Worship said it would hardly be fair to press the question or constables would find H difficult to get information. A a very little or no harm had been done a nominal fine would be sufficient, namely, Is and costs.
