Friday, October 9. (Before Caleb Whitefoord, Esq., R.M.) John Day was fined 40s for using abusive and threatening language towards Margaret Catleu. Ellen Cameron, or Swords, was charged under the provisions of the Vagrant Act with being an idle and disorderly person, and with the habitual nse of obscene language. The police and several residents in the locality gave the defendant a bad character, and said that her conduct was unbearable. Sergeant Goodall applied for a remand to the Ahaura, to enable him to produce previous convictions against the accused. The Magistrate informed the defendant that her disgusting conduct had on several previous occasions been brought under the notice of the Court. The case would be remanded to the Ahaura at the request of Sergeant Goodall, although there was sufficient evidence before him to warrant him in sending her to gaol for three months. He would, however, give her another chance, and if she left the district within two weeks she would be allowed to depart in peace at present. orra, cases. Marr and Lock v.
