S.M. COURT. (From Our Own Correspondent). In the Inglewood S.M. Court on Thursday, March 10, before Mr. W. G. Kenrick, S.M., judgment for plaintiff by default, was entered in the following eases: Sutherland Bros. v. A. Hall, claim £1 5s (id and costs (ss); W. Curd v. Geo. Burnnand, £1 15s, costs ss; J. C. Montefiore v. W. Kinsella, £3, costs 10s; J. W. Winfield v. J. Gaylard, £l7 lis Bd, costs £1 13s Cd; Nicholls and Son v. J. Davidson, £95 2a Id, costs £5 2s Cd. Judgment summonses.—G. Gudgeon v. W. Kinsella, claim £lO 3s Cd. No appearance of debtor; ordered to pay amount forthwith, in default two weeks in New Plymouth prison. G. A. Stanton v. Rau Rangi, claim £1 ss. No appearance of debtor, who was ordered to pay amount forthwith, in default one week in New Plymouth prison. Charles B. Dewar, a boarding-house-keeper at Purangi, was proceeded against by the police on three informations—one for selling liquor without a license, and two for unlawfully supplying liquor to natives at Purangi on the 24th ult. Mr. Paterson, for defendant, pleaded guilty to both informations of supplying to natives, and was fined £lO on both charges, with costs totalling £5 10s. In view of the penalties inflicted, the police offered no evidence in the charge of unlawfully selling liquor. An information against George M. Pott, charging him with attempting to obtain £8 from the Railway Department by false pretences, was dismissed. Defendant was ordered to pay the costs of the prosecution. Pott, it is alleged, lost his bicycle on the railway, but found it again, and kept the officials in ignorance of the fact, and then made a claim on the Department for £B, the value of the bicycle. This, however, he explained, was only with a view of ''waking up" the officials. v rsrgifflsiia
