NELSON.
Thursday. At the Police Court today, two wellknown citizens were charged with a breach of the peace in connection with the Joseph's lynchiug affair last Friday. The police asked that they should; be bound over to keep the peace. The Court was crowded. . The evidence of illtreatment of Joseph was very weak. Mr Pitt made a forcible defence, and the Eencli laid that though it was clear defendants had taken part in tumultuous proceedings to the annoyance of the Queen's subjects, they did not think they were at all likely to repeat the proceedings, and so the case was dismissed with a.caution to defendants. Mr Pitt, was loudly cheered by the crowd when leaving the Court.
