RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' COURT, CAMBRIDGE.

Friday.— (Before Mr H. W. Northcroft, R.M., and Mr W. A. Graham, J.P.) Cruelty to a Horse. A native named Te Ngirangiri, was charged by Constable Brennan for having left a horse with a broken leg on the Hamilton road without food or water for four consecutive days.— Accused admitted that he had done wrong in leaving the unfortunate animal as he had. Evidence was produced to show that the horse had had no attendance for the time above mentioned. The evidence of one witness went to show that if the horse had been attended to in time, and properly looked after itwould have recovered as the leg was only dislocated, and not broken. During the time the horse was lying on the road it was unable to move out of the one place, and, consequently, could not have had anything to eat. Before the horse was shot, Mr Hoy had given it hay and water so that it should not die of starvation. Ihe Bench thought witnesses were more to blamethantheaccused,for,havin£seenthe horse lying in pain for three days, if they had had any feelieg in them they would have attended to it. On these grounds the case was dismissed.

Breach of the Licensing Act. Francis Rose, proprietor of the Masonic Hotel, Cambridge, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act, 1881, for having sold liquor to one Denis Tracey, after hour 9 on Saturday, the 9th inst, he not being a lodger or traveller. Accused pleaded guilty to having supplied Tracey, who is a member of the Armed Constabulary, with liquor on the occasion complained of, he having come into the hotel with a boarder and asked for a bed. Constable Brennau proved that Tracey was stationed at Cambridge. The Bench i thought no intention to violate the law had been proved, and would consequently dismiss the case* >
