Alexandra, Yesterday.
At the R.M. Court held to-day, before G. Y. Tisdall, Esq., J.P., William Robinson, Thomas Rogers, Thomas Brown, Joseph Smith, and William Rogers were charged under information by Constable Gillies with wilful destruction to property by throwing stones through the windows of Mr Dethmer's, Exchange Hotel, Alexandra. Constable Gillies wished that the information against William Robinson and Thomas Rogers be withdrawn. The prisoners, Thomas Brown, J. Smith, and William Rogers pleaded not guilty. It appeared from the evidence of Constable Gillies that the prisoners had been guilty of throwing stones, calculated to doing serious injury through the Exchange Hotel, the landlady at the time being in delicate health j one of the stones produced weighing one and a-half pounds. No previous convictions being against the prisoners, the Bench, after a severe admonition, gave judgment that defendants pay costs of damage, £1 ss, and costs, 7s each.
