RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT
THIS DAY.
(Before J. Skene and E. W. Fuckey, Esqs., J's.P.) THOSE QUADBI BOYS.
Samuel and Michael Quadri and Walter Stevens were charged with letting off crackers in Pollen street on the 23rd inst.
All three boys pleaded guilty. Mr Bullen said that these Quadri boys were really, incorrigible. On the day in question Mr Bryant, licensee of the Bendigo Hotel, heard some noise in the bar as if bottles were being broken. On running in he found that these lads had thrown in a bunch of lighted crackers which had caused two bottles to burst and set some paper on fire. He caught hold of two of them and gave them in charge of the police. Mr Stevens, father of one of the lads, said he did all to keep his boy in, and he hoped this would be a lesson to him, though it was a mere boyish freak after all. Bryant's hotel wai the rendezvous of all the larrikins in the place. The Bench fined each of the Quadris 10s, or in default, seven days' imprisonment, and young Stevens 5s and costs, or in default, three days' imprisonment.
Court adjourned.
