Hapeta Whakamariri, a native, was brought up before H. S. Wardell R,M. at Groytewn on Tuesday evening, charged with aisadlting his wife in the main street, and also assaulting the police, and fined £5, Quito a scene occurred in the street, tho native resisting tho police, nnd calling on the rther natives to rescue, but fortunately he was got in quietly, Hit police using great forbearance with the man, who was very violent. It is evident that there is not sufficient police in Grey lovrn during the sitting of the Land Court, and at least another constable ought to be stationed there, Tho attendance at the Castlo Point melting on Saturday last was also small, but business was transacted nevertheless. Mr Sheath, the Secretary, reported the balance in hand as £3. It was resolved to hold the Races at New Year, a programme of some seven events was drawn up and tho following gentlemen appointed to carry the arrangements out:— Stewards-Messrs Carswell, J. A.

Houstan F. Logan proved that ho sold a bullock to the prosecutor, but could not identify tho animal' W. Tibbett, County Rauger, deposed that ho had seen a black bullock in the pound, > and told the accused that one was there answering the description of tho animal which ho lost, The accused paid him iho pound charges, saying that if the bullock was not his, the owner could hayo it by refunding tho mouey. Subsequently ho. (Tibbett) saw Mr Armstrong, who claimed the bullock, but would not pay tho poundage. J. R, Eades deposed that tho accused told him in reply to a question " I think tho bullock is mine, it is one out of thirteen that got away from mo; I bad only four back." Wituoss asked him what ho would take for it, and ho let him have.it for £4, making a proviso that if any dispute arose about tho beast, it must bo returned to him, Further evidenco was riven as to the identity of tho bullock, and on its completion his Worship dismissed tho charge, A station hand named Harry Susan' was brought before Messrs Bish aud Hosking, J.P.'s, this morning, charged with assaulting William Harrison, a coach painter, The evidenco of the informant, which was not disputed, shewed that yesterday as he was going into the passago of the Empire Hotel he was struck on the head by the accused, the blow outting through bis hat and stunning him, Tho hat produced (a stiff felt one) was cut through, and the woapon with which the blow was struck was tho bntt end of a heavy brass-mounted hunting whip. The accused, when called upon for his defence, merely remarked he had mado a mistake; he intended the blow for another man. Was asked if ho intonded to kill some one elso, and replied that ho should'nt have killed him. He slated that be was drunk at tho timo. The Court said they would lako the most lenient view they could of ihe case, and that would bo two months hard labor. The weapon tbo aocused used might have caused instant death. Tho accused, when he heard tho sentence remarked in a quiet tone " Very good sir, that will be a change of life for me!" At a Northern Magistrates' Court an offender who had been fined 30s and costs as well as witnesses' expenses, totalling up to the sum of $ 3s, pleaded that he could not pay and must take the alternativo of forty-eight hours' imprisonment. He, however,'wanted a short time to go out before the sentence began. This being denied, it was found, on the police searching the prisoner before his assignment to durance vile, that he had a purse ohoking with 'money, and out of this they took the fine and costs, and denied him his wish to see the inside of a prison for the present. Probably he will leave his purse at home the next time he gets into a scrape,
