# Drunkenness. —Del a M‘Leod, who appeared in Court with an infant in her arms, was charged with drunkenness.—Constable Stewart said that the woman was so drunk that she let her child fall on the pavement in Princes street.

Mr M'Keay def nd<A— The Bench, without calling on Mr M'Keay for witnesses, dismissed the case, it being of so trivial a nature that it should never have come into Court.

Neighbors’ Quarrels.— Dinah Rove was charged with assaulting and beating Fanny Greaves at Otepopo. Mr E. Cook appeared for complainant, and Mr Sinclair defended.— There was a avss-aotion, in which Mrs Greaves was charged with assaulting Mrs Rove.
