The Railway Regulations. Alex. Wylie was charged with quitting a railway carriage yesterday while the train was in motion.—lnspector Mallard stated that the station was crowded at the time of the occurrence, and defendant caused some annoyance to the railway authorities by jumping on to the train. Defendant admitted the offence, saying that he wished to get to some lady friends of his who were in another carnage.—He was fined 5s and costs.— Thos. Cross admitted jumping on to a train while in motion at Burnside at 6.30 p.m. yesterday, and was fined 20s and eosts. The Game Laws.—Fairfax Fenwick was charged with having in his possession on November 7 two hares, such time being during the close season. Mr Kenyon de* fended and pleaded guilty. As defendant was precluded from explaining why- he had the hares in his possession, .he (the learned counsel) directed their Worships’ attention to the fact that it was freely debated whether hares should not be excluded from the operations of the Act.— The Bench, seeing that this was the first case of this nature, and that the pelioe did not press for a heavy penalty, unposed a nominal fine of 5s and costs.
