At the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning, before M. Price, Bsq., : Janies Johnston, for druhknness, was fined j 10s and costa; dr the usual alternative'. ! A case of abusive language, in which the informant Daniel Falvey charged one . John White with calling him “ a rogue,” j was dismissed, as, His Worship said it S was due of those cases that should Hevef i occupy the time of the Court. An ad* ; jourued case df the Trustees df Morgan ; and Love against H. Brown, and also the Same trustees against W. Wade in both : Oases in which the auiouut had been pre- i viously paid to one of the partners was i Argued at great length by Mr PerkinS for the plaintiffs, arid by Mr Hawkins for the \ defendants conjointly. His Worship re- | served his decision until the next sitting ] df the Court to‘enable him to look over' ! the cases quoted by the le'arried counsel ori both sidesi A number of cases in which i the Borough Council sued various parties ! for rates judgment was given against the-j defendants. The Warden’s Court theri ! opened, and as the case for hearing neces- j sitated the Warden visiting the ground in I dispute, the Court was adjourned to 2 i o’clock, arid Was still sitting' when we Went to press. A special meeting of the Children's ; Treat Committee was held at the Town Hall last eVeriing, to consider an objection made by one of the tenderers, that although the/ tender he' sent hi for the" supply of meals was the lowest, the Committee had accepted due at a higher rate. After reconsidering the tenders, the Committee’ endorsed their' previous action, i consequent oil the ambiguity of the tender' | forwarded by the' urisilccessful complain- j aiit. The services of the Dilluian’s Town j Band were engaged at the same reimvner'a- } fieri a's last ye'itr, the Committee making i also a pecuniary allowance to tire bandsmen instead of providing refreshments' as j heretofore.. The meeting then adjourned ' until Morida'y evening ri'ext. ! The Resident Magistrate, this morning at the close of the civil business, drew the : attention of the bar to the fact that the i ftew stamp duty in connection .with the ! business of the Court would be’ in, opera- | ation at its next sitting ; when* Mr Perkins i observed that a case settled between, the* | part ies arid where no hearing; was required, • the Government would still receive the \ full amount of the fees, and he justly rm j marked, fleece the public as usual. | Tenders are invited for four refreshtrierit and two fruit stalls at the Children’s Treat on New Year’s' Day,' but tenderers are reminded that no intoxicating liquors wiR be permitted to be sold: .
