MAYOR’S COURT.

This Day. (Before his Worship the Mayor and C. E. Brunton, Esq., J.P.) DRUNKENNESS. Daniel Weir was lined 40s or three days, for drunkenness ; Charles Riley, 40s and costs or 48 hours, and for obstructing the police in the execution of their duty, 40s or one month, with hard labor. INDECENCY. Thomas Frew, on a charge of exposing his person, was discharged. THEFT. Mary Carter was brought up charged with stealing two pairs of beots, value 18s, from the shop of Mr Inglis, George street. It appears that the prisoner entered the shop of Mr Inglis about seven o’clock on the evening of the 12th inst., and after waiting fora short time while another lady was being served, moved away to the other side of the shop. Mr Inglia, suspecting her, went over and requested to speak to her, and on being searched, the articles produced in Court were found in her possession. On her declining to give any address, a constable was sent for, and she was given in charge. Constable Hanlon said that, on Saturday evening last, he was summoned to Mr Inglis’s establishment, and found the defendant there in possession of the boots produced, and took her in charge on being informed they were stolen property. Mary Carter is the same woman who has been living with the man Kitchenham, who has preferred a charge of perjury against Constable Hanlon, It appears that Kitchenham offered to compromise Mary Carter’s case with Mr Inglis, but he declined. Defendant having nothing to say in answer to the charge, the Bench sentenced her to six months’ imprisonment, with hard labor.
