BREACH OF LICENSING ACT,

Patrick Welsh was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act by supplying alcoholic liquor to Margaret Barristow, nt tho Shakespero Hotel, Wyndham-atreot, on Sunday, the Gth inst.

Mr Tole appeared in defence, and said he would plead not guilty, iv order that the special circumstauccs of the case might be known.

Constable Rist deposed that on Sunday, the 6th iast., nt about 12.50, ho saw the woman Barriatow in the Auckland Hotel passage with a bottle. He|losl|sightof her for ten minutes. Presently slio appeared with a bottle of rum. He spoko to her, and she confessed that she had been served by Win. Cane at the Shakesperc, (bottle produced). The woman was very ;:nicli under the influence of drink.

To Mr Tole: Knew it was rum— tastad it—did not reduce the liquor to its present level. Kanejackuowleilged to serving the woman, but on the humane ground that she was very sick. Margaret Barriatow paid that she had re moved from Chaucery Lane and now resided ou Barrack Hill. Sho procured the rum for herself aud her old man—both of them were sick. Sue would not tall a lie about a drop of rum. Her old man had the cramp 3 and she had—well, sho did not know what.

William Cane, barman at the Shake speare, deposed to supplying the woman with a suilliug"sworth. She pleaded so hard for her sick hushaud, that he gave her the rum.

To the Bench : He was in the hall when she came. The bar was not open.

Mr Tole addressed the Bench, and sub mitted that, under the circumstances, there should be no conviction,

The Bench considered that Mr Tole had made an ingenious defence, hut ou the other hand, the oll'enco was committed, aud the barman should have known that it was an infringement of the law. However, looking at all the circumstances, the Bench would inflict a lenient penalty, viz., 20i and coats.

CHARGES AGAINST SAMUEL BROWN. Samuel Blown again appeared iv answer to several charges of larceny of goods, viz,, tinware from the warehouse of Henry "Waite, tinsmith, value £2 10s; knives, forks and spoons, property of Wm. D. Dallcn, value £7 10s, aud similar articles, value £6 10s, from the dining-rooms of Edward Waters.

The case of stealing tinware from the warehouse of Mr Waite was lirst taken,

Mr Tyler appeared for the defence, and related the circumstances as previously published in the STAE. He might say that prisonfr had already bctn confined three months in a Lunatic Asylum, He (defen dant) was 75 years of age, and was suffering from an acute disease of the bladder. He was instructed that the prosecutors were not disposed to offer any evidence in these cases, and if the police were determined to prosecute, it would be more like persecu tion.

The Bench said extreme care rou3t be taken in dealing with the matter, aud com mon sympathy must not iuterfere with the course of jußtice, but these were offences against the community. Mr Pardy objected to Mr Tyler in saying that it was more like persecution. The police had simply acted in accordance with their duty, and sliowa every kindness to the unfortunate gentleman, consistent with duty. He would ask that the evidence be taken, and the dealing with the cases be left to the disposal of tno Bench. The Bench coincided with Mr Pnrdy's views.

Henry Waite, tin smith, Fort-street, re peated the evidence which he gave on a former occasion. Previous to December last he had, for two years, been missing goods from his warehouse, which he kept locked. He made the billies, which he missed about the 21st December. Saw defendant with a la'ge billy iv his hand. Knew it to be his (wituess') property. Made it himself. Gave inior mation to the police. A search wauant was issued, and various articles of tinware found on Mr Brown's premises. He could not Bwear to some of the goods. He had lost over £70, and suspecting two of his men, he discharged them. The articles wero all his make, but they might have been taken by other persons and sold to Mr Brown. He exonerated the two men now, not believing they were the thieves. Found a key at Brown's, which unlocked Ids warehouse door. He did not think that access had been got by any other way. The tea-pot was his property. Never sold it to any person. The articles in Court, stolen from I is premises, were worth £210». He rented the premises of Mr Brown, the accused, who ras well acquainted with them.

To Mr Tyler : Had no desire to prosecute would have rather that the case had been withdrawn, he believed that prisoner was not right in his head, he considered further that, considering prisoner's great age he had Buffered enough.

Johnjßuddle objected to being sworn. Mr Pardy : On what grounds ? Witness ; I am a materialist. Mr Hurst: Will you explain what you mean by a materialist ?

Witness : I do not believe in anything that I cannot see.

Mr Tyler said if witness was an Atheist he was an incompetent witness. The Chairman thought materialism a low, demoralised condition for a young man to be in. The Bench ruled however, that ■witness might make an affirmation to which he consented.

Witness tnen proceeded to say that he was in the employ of Mr Waite, .md was overseer of the warehouse which was invariably kept locked in their absence. No person had any right in the store, unless accompanied by Mr Waito, he was aware that things were mis?ing, and on several eights a watch was kept, he could swear to the teapots and billies, they were special articles, and had never been sold to any person. To Mr Tyler: Mr Waite would not have a .'ld them, he should have known had he done so.

To Mi Pardy: He did not sell the ten pots.

THURSDAY NEXT A PUBLIC HOLIDAY.

DEPUTATION TO THE MAYOR.

A deputation from the Friendly Societies' Demonstration Committee consisting of Mcssre George AVarburton, Henry Rafton, and H. G. Dorringcon, waited upon tho Mayor this afternoon for the purpo.se of presenting a citizen's and a tradesmen's petition praying that St. Patrick's Day might be declared a public holiday.

Mr Warbuiton having introduced himself and fellow-delegates, presented the peti tions, aud explained their purport. The citizen's petition bore three hundred and lifty-six signatures, and that from the trades men eighty-four signatures. The gentle man said that the deputies of the Friendly Societies were now fully aware of the ill feeling they had incurred by selecting the Irish national holiday as that on which the demonstration should take place. Last year it was held on Anniver sary Day, but this year at the urgent request of very many who desired to witness the Intercolonial Regatta it was resolved, to change the day. Easter Monday was proposed, but as there was not much assurance of obtaining line weather so late in the season it was not adopted. Then St. Patrick's Day was suggested, and induced by the consideration that it was al ready a partial holiday, they resolved to hold the dci.ioustration upon it. Party feeling, however, had run so high upon the matter since, that at a meeting of Committee last night it hud been decided, " That in future tbo Committee u=e their best influence to aveid holding the demonstration on any national holiday."

His Worship in replying took occasion to explain the reasons which had induce him to decline a similar request made last week, one, but an insufficient one by itself, was the meagre number oE signatures attached to the petition presented on that occasion, another was the fact that a difference of opinion existed not only in the public mind, but even amongst the members of Friendly Societies thsni selves as to the advisability ot declaring 17th a public holiday, and a third reason was his determination not to interfere with business by making a how holiday, believing, as he did, that we had too muny holidays already. However there now seemed to be a more general desire for the holiday, and the resolution which had been passed by the Committee would cer tainly wei»h with him in considering the re quest. Besides, there was the manifest fact that the Friendly Societies could not, with out great and material inconvenience, alter their arrangemements. He had not power to grant the holiday, but he would do all he could in the way of granting the request, aud that was to invite the citizens to join in making the 17th a public holiday. His Worship concluded by dissuading the delecates from attempting to create new holidays. Mr Warburton said he felt sure that in future the demonstration would be held on anniversary Day. The deputation than thanked His Worship aud withdrew.

FIRE AT THE WHAU.

The house was unoccupied at tho time of the occurrence. Mr Burke sends his hoy and giri up there every afternoon to milk the cows, and a repoit was current to the effect that they had lighted a liie yesterday for cooking purposes and had forgotten to put it out when leaving. Whether there is any truth in this report, wo aro unable to say. We have also been unable to ascertain if the house was insured.
