POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., K.M.) Dbunkbhnkss.—Two persons woro fined for

this offence. SuMMOKiD to Support.—Sarah Jano White, of tne City Club Hotel, -was summoned to show cause why >be should not support two ot her grandchildren, Philip and David White, boos of the late Win. White.—Mr George appeared for oomplalnant and Mr Browning for defendant.— Thelnformatlon was laid by Mr Wm. Laird, a relative of the mother of the ohild.—Mr Laird explained the oiroamßtancea. 'lhe late We White formerly kept the Shamrock Hotel, but failed, and from that time to the day of his death, ho was unemployed. His widow waa lefc with ilr yoong children, and had only mMived assistance from Mrs Urowe.iier mother, and witness. The widow had now a Bituation at Russell, at 20s per week, 10b of which the contributed towards the snpport of her children. — Mr Browning suggested that the widow should bo examined.—Sarah Jane White, the grandmother, was about to ffive evidence. She waa willing to take one of the boya.—Hia Worship said, taking Mr Laird's evidence, it waa clear that the widow was in a position to support herself. She was earning 20s per week ai a barmaid. She could not be a destitute person. Many men in Kngland had not only themselves, but large families, to keep upon 20s a-week. His Worship thought it might endanger Mrs White's situation to bring her from Kusaell.

He wonld.however, look Into tho case, and sea what the practice has been, and let Mr Browning know the result of his researches.— The case waa finally remanded nntil Friday.

SPORTING.

(By Aeods.)

Joe Gallagher took a level £50 .'from Billy Western last night that lie named the winner 5n live horses out of the Cup comple ment. Nevnral f 25's were also laid in tho name way during the day. , Mr Bobbett's 2-year-old colt Maonland, by Goldsborough, got cast in his box at Thorpe's stables on Friday night last, and lot his hip down, rendering him useless, so far as racing is concerned. Jimmey Poole went a trip to the Thames this week and " camo up smiling " on Tues day evening. Keport says he did a big business, both on his Thames and Auck land books. Clever little chap i;i Jimmey. Mr|GeorgolEllia's filly Florin has been out. on the course two or three mornings this week, She appears to take very kindly to her company, and exhibits an excellent temper. Libeller will not come up to Auckland this journey. He is meant for some of the Southern events, and Peeress colt will represent the stable in the Cup. Another streak of luck for the metallicians.

In the " Observer " this morning appears a statement under the norn de plume of " Saul," that Ed. Day intends removing his horses from Mr Ellis's stables. This state ment is entirely without foundation, and I have Day's authority to contradict it.
