WELLINGTON.
(From the New Zealand, Advertiser.) A Saetjtaet Check. —We were glad to see in the Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday that the police had displayed a praiseworthy alacrity in apprehending men charged with insulting respectable women in tne public street, and we were equally gratified to observe that Mr Ward awarded such a punishment as will tend to check such disgraceful outrages. It would appear that some of the sailors belonging to the Ballarat obtained permission to come on shore for a few hours, and they thereupon got intoxicated, and began insulting females, by throwing their arms around them, as they passed over Lambton Quay. Two of the parties were apprehended, and one was sent to gaol for six weeks with hard labor, and the other was committed for one month. It is to be hoped that such a rigorous punishment will prove a salutary check to this evil.
Robbeey at Featheestoke. —We are informed by a gentleman who reached town yesterday afternoon that on the night of Friday last the house at Featherston occupied by Mr T. Worsley was entered, and the sum of £570 in cash abstracted. No trace of the thief has been obtained up to the time our informant left.
