■ Thursday, July 20. (Before J. C. Crawford, Esq., R.M.) ASSAULT. Alfred Cummings was brought up for assaulting Samuel Cave. He was also charged with being drunk and assaulting a constable. Mr. Baker stated that Cummings behaved more like a wild beast than a man. The constable showed great pluck in arresting him. Constable Pownall said that in trying to arrest the prisoner he (Pownall) received severe kicks on the fibs and temple from prisoner. He had acted like a fiend. Prisoner, in excusing himself, said he had been a teetotaller since Christmas. He took a little drink, which got into his head. Mr. Crawford recommended prisoner to leave drink alone for the future, and sentenced him to a month on each charge. STEALING. William George Sale, a young man of respectable appearance, was arrested in consequence of a telegram from Dunedin, A remand till Saturday was applied for, and granted. FURIOUS BIDING.

The horses were so pushed that one of them fell dead. Mr. Kerry gave similar evidence. His Worship fined two of the defendants £1 each, and the third 10s., with costs in each case.
