LAW AND JUSTICE AT THE QUEEN'S REDOUBT.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir,—There is a Court of Justice held here once a month in a public-house. It 4is just held off the bar ; the door is simply closed that leads from the bar. It 13 pay day on the railway, and for the last twet months, when this Court was held, Mr. Editor, there were a lot of navvies drinking in this nar, and .if you happened to speak above the ordinary way of speaking a policeman comes in and drags you out and brings you before the magistrate, and you are fined five shil lings or 48 hours. Mr. Editor I think it is very wrong to hold a Court of Justice in a public-house, within a few feet of the bar. By inserting these few lines you will oblige a constant iKeaiier.'-, ,; '■■) ;" ■

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before P. A. Philips, Esq., R.M.) LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS.

Alexander Graham and Thomas Gibbs were charged with being drunk on Saturday, also with being disorderly. Gibbs was fined 20s ; and Graham asked for mercy on the plea ©f wet weather. He took six glasses of rum, believing the captain's words, that it would keep the cold out. He was not in the habit of getting drunk. Unfortunately, however, on'turning over the annals of the Court it was found that the name of Alexander Gra ham had frequently been written therein. | [Seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. NOT so. James Bushell was charged with being a rogue and vagabond without visible lawful means of support, and being a disorderly person. Prisoner said it was not so. He was out of work, but was neither a rogue nor a vaga bond. He had been in the employ of Mr Shepherd. Detectives Ternahan and Jeffery had known defendant four years as a prowler, who slept in the open air under the trees. He would not work.

Prisoner said he was a respectable member of society ; he did not pay rates it was true, but when he earned money he spent it like a brick. He considered he was entitled to the rights of a Britisher. His Worship : You have been here several times for being drunk. Prisoner : Only twice lately, your Wor ship. Three months' imprisonment with hard labour. • • ; Barbara walker. Barbara Walker, an elderly person, was charged with swearing at a neighbour in Wellington-street, on Saturday evening, and fined 20s and costs, or 48 hours. Prisoner : Thank you, I can do more than that. VAGRANCY. ~ Stewart Hughes was brought up for com mitting a breach of the Vagrant Act of 1866, by using obscene languase in Queen-street on Saturday evening, and fined 10s and costs, or 24 hours. PHYSICAL SCIENCE. : James Currens was charged with assault -1 ing William Dyson by shewing him a bit of physical science by punching him on the nose with his clenched fist, on board the barque Briton, on the 16th inst. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr J..8.: Russell appeared for .Captain Dyson, and considered that masters of ves sels should be protected from the violence of seamen, who if unjustly treated had their remedy. Prisoner said he went on Saturday to the captain and asked him for some money to buy a pair of shoes, ns he had not got a pair to his feet. The master immediately caught. hold of him and tried to thrust him out of the cabin. He subsequently solicited him on the wharf to give him the money. The master refused and again insulted him. '.,' He at once gave him a plumper on the nose. His Worship remarked that seamen could not be allowed to take the law into their own hands.

Thirty days' imprisonment, with hard labour. . PARTNERS IN LIFE. ... . r Samuel Hanson, on warrant, was charged with using threatening language towards his, wife Elizabeth Hanson, on the 14th instant. Mr Joy appeared for defendant, and.stated the case. ' Defendaht said that Tie and his wife had not lived happily together of late, and if she would allow him to have his shirts and Sun day trousers he was willing to give her all the furniture and hook it. Elizabeth .Hanson affirmed that she was afraid to go home, and she was sure she did not want his breeches. It was not for a woman to wear breeches. It was mutually agreed that Samuel should have his clothes, and complainant the bed and furniture. Mr Joyconsidered that it would be a joy ous conclusion if under the circumstances the case was withdrawn. Withdrawn accordingly. COOK AND LAMB. 1 George Cook was charged with assaulting James Lamb on the 13th instant. Mr Joy appeared for Cook, and Mr J. ±5. Russell for Lamb. . - The old saying "Two of a trade can never at'fee" was illustrated in this case; the parties were proprietors of public convey, ances, and had frequently used irritating words to each other. • Mr. Russell stated that he should ask that Mr. Cook be bound over to keep the peace towards his client, who, in his general bear ing and character was, in very truth, a lamb, while the defendant had made several endeavours to : cook lamb by threatening to whip-handle him. "His Worship remarked, " And he could not succeed without the mint sauce. Mr. Joy hoped the Star would not fail to notice the geniality of the temper of the Court, and make a note of these little plea- Mr Russell still adhered to his original proposition, and notwithstanding the case involved "buses," he would call the atten tion of the Court to the facts that whips were used. He would ask that Mr Cook pay

costs, and find sureties that Lamb might lie still in season. . .

His Worship ordered defendant to find two sureties of £10 to keep the peace for the next three months. This was all the business.

THE LONGEST SWIM ON RECORD.

Tub Norfolk Chronicle makes the death of Samuel Brock, a Yarmouth beaehinan, the occasion of recalling his extraordinary escape in October, 1835. A vessel was observed at sea about 1 p.m., Avith ;i signal Hying for a pilot, bearing east, distant about twelves miles. Brock, who belonged to Lay ton's company, with nine others, launched the yawl Increase, and steered for the object of their enterprise. About four o'clock they came up with the vessel, which proved to be the Spanish brig Porquette de Bilboa. Three of the beach men went on board, and the remainder of the crew of the yawl were sent away. On their way home a terrific squall took the yawl's sails flat aback, and she capsized. In a few minutes all the crew, with the exception of Brock, were drowned. It was then about 0.30 p.m., arid the nearest land was six miles distant—dead low water, and Brock remembered that the flood tide would be setting off shore, making to the southward, so that, should he ever reach the shore, he would have to swim or float at least fifteen miles. The swell of the sea drove him over the Cross-sand ridge, and he then got sight of the buoy off Saint Nicholas' Gat, nearly opposite his own door, distance about four miles from the land. He had now been five hours in the water. He next; caught sight of a vessel at anchor. He got within two hun dred yards of the vessel and hailed her ; a boat was at once lowered, and 1.30 a in., having swam seven hours and a-half in an October night, he was safe on board the brig Betsy, of Sunderland, nearly fifteen miles from the spot where the boat Increase was capsized.

SUPREME COURT.—In Banco.

Friday, March 13, 1874,

(Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.) . CRAIG V. MACFARLANE.

Mr Recs, on behalf of Mr Craig, applied for an order to compel the trustee of his estate to allow his name to be used as plaintiff in a suit against the defendant, with the object of recovering Craig's pro perty, which the defendant held as mort gagee in possession, the trustee having de clined to become a party to the action until a motion to revest the estate in Craig, which was pending, should be decided.—Mr E,ees, in support of his application, read an affidavit by Craig, in which he stated that the defen dant was making a weekly profit of £400 from tho saw-mill, and cutting 80,000 feet of timber a week, which he was disposing of at between 10 and 25 per cent, lower than the market price, in order to ensure ready sale and cash returns. That by so doing ho was ruining Craig;, and squandering his property, and that instead of reducing Craig's debt to him in proportion to the large profits made from the mill he had increased his claim from £4,000 to £9,000.—Th0 learned counsel submitted that it was very hard upon his client that he should be retained in the Bankruptcy Court, and be unable to redeem his property, which, when the defendant took possession of it, was worth £30,000 or £40,000, and which in his hands was being rapidly wasted an/1 consumed. Mr Macfarlane had rendered accounts to tho Trustee making Craig indebted to him in the sum of £9,000, but Craig had examined those accounts, and was prepared to prove that they were wrong to the extent of £10,000. Craig would bo willing to pay the £9,000 to get possession of his property.—His Honor said that no doubt if he paid the £9,000 a conveyance of the property would be made. Tho estate was in the hands of a new trustee, who they might suppose was acceptable to Craig, and who, it must be presumad, was looking after his-interests, and how was the Court to interfere with him ?—After discussion his Honor reserved the application until after the motion for revesting the estate in Craig, which comes on on Thursday next, is disposed of. The Court then adjourned.
