Tlic hearing of the ease of t]je Police v. Mary Carter was adjourned until to-morrow, Mary Buddings was charged with using obscene language, near the Octagon, on the 30th ult. It appeared that, being somewhat under t.he influence of drink that day, she fancied that oir of her neighbors, named Hankins had a sister, although the latter declared “ ho never lead one since he was born.” 'lbis difavowal of such close relationship to a person who she characterised as belonging to the worst class of the dem) 'ino/ide only served to incense her, and on Hankins’s Read and that of his wife she poured her wrath, applying to both tie choicest of exp: essions. In defence, slje attempted to prove annoyance at the hands of Mrs Hapkins, and denied that she used the language complained of. in support of both pleas she called four witnesses, three of whom absolutely knew nothing of the affair, and the other’s evidence only went to suppoit the complainant’s case. She was fined 10s and costs. orrKNOBS AdAIN'ST TUK JJVKJ,\WS.
