Albeit Daie, Samuel Johnson, Da\id Noigrove, John Dwyer, William Douglas und Ncsbitt Henry Lumsden, were charged on the infoitnatiou of Constabie Bennan with, on Sunday morning, the lth June, threatening and abusive and insulting beha\ iour in and about the National Hotel. The accu<erl t who weie undefended, pleaded not guilty. Constable Hiennan stated the facts of the case which have aheady beun published. These things htx<l pie\ uled in Cambridge of late, and he hoped if a conviction were obtained, then worships would inflict such punishment as would prevent .such occurienccs in future. John Longbottom, night watchman, wi\thefiist witness called. He «aw the accused nt about a quaitei to one on Sunday morning at the National Hotel. They weie pretty quiet when he got to wheie they weie. When he first saw them in Duke-stiect, Noigrove came to him and asked him if O'Brien's was open, and if they ould get any iiimo "lush?' Evidently to avoid Constable Bicnnan, they went up Chapel-street to (iillett s Hotel. Saw Daie and John&on standing \ery quietly at GillettV, and asked them to go away. Homy ( iillett, licensee of the National Hotel, deposed : Knew all the defendants. Saw them about his place on Sunday moming. Was wakened by the noi-e of dogs "birking, and heard some, people ab'iut the house. Saw the accused standing in fiont of the hotel when he got up. Dare was the only <>ne who spoke to him. Had a horse clipped. It appeared to be clipped on the road, a* the hair was there. \V. A. AdanH, htableman for Mr Gillett, «aw the accused on the morning in question. They came into the room where he was bleeping and pulled him out of bed. To the best of his knowledge it was Sam Johnson who pulled him out of bed. Saw Norgrove outside; Dare was nlso in the room. Saw D >uglas outside. His loom was over the stable. llobt. Atkinson deponed to having seen Dare, Johnson, Norgrove and Dvvyer in fiont of the National Hotel on Sunday inoimng. Heaid the dogs balking. Johnson 7>ulled him out of bed. Alfred Brady, barman at the, National Hotel, deposed to having seen Dvvyer, Dire, Norgrove and Johnson in fiont of the hotel on Sunday morning. The dogs weie making a noise, which wakened him. Did not hear the men making any noise. Could not say what made the dogs balk. This finished the case for the police. The charge of threatening and abusive b -hay loin was di~mis»ed, the evidence being insufficient to maintain it. Daie, Johnson and Norgrove wen; then charged with assaulting Kobeit Atkinson on the same occasion. Tho infoimant, Atkinson, wa.s called, and deposed to having been di-tuib-d by the accused, who pulled him out of bed. The accused weie all friends of hi*, nnd weie often in his room, though not at that hour. W. A. Adams was then called and deposed that Johnson and Daie were the two who came into hid loom. Could not sweat to Norgiove. Constable Biennnn said that the two infoimants had cooled down considerably since tin' occuirence. They iepre*entod the nutter to him as an outiage. They would not now say all that did actually happen. In the assault case their Woi .ships dismissed the case against Noigiove. Daie and Johnson, against whom tho assault w.im pioved, were fined 20s, with costs 24s each, in default two weeks 1 imprisonment. His Worship, tho R.M. administered a severe caution against the continuation of these so called jokes. If this soit of woik did not cease, and they came befoie him again, he would try the efficacy of imprisonment without the option of a, hue. I>O(. IKI-SPVSS IK THK DOMAIN. Thus. Jones, Jas. McNeisli. and Henry (rillett weie chaiged with allowing their dogs to trespass on the Cambridge Domain, on the 31st of May, in violation of the domain by-laws. — Defendants pleaded not guilty.— Mr (iillett said the domain was not fenced. Tlnee wirrs did not constitute ft fence within the meaning of the act. Hii dog could walk in and out under the lower wire of tho fence. — Constable Brennan said the board did not piess for a heavy penalty. They only wanted to enforce the by-law in this matter as the practice of allowing dogs to run in the domain was a great nuisance, and the dogs did considerable damage to flowers, <&c. — Thos. Wells, chairman of the Domain Board, gave evidence. The by-law under .which the charge was laid was posted up at the BTitraviw. to the doniMn. TUw by-law only lefeired to that poition of the domain known aa Lake To Koutu reserve. Constable Biennan said that on acquainting Mi < iillett with the offence he at once sent the dog out. Jones also admitted when spoken to that he was ignoiant of the bylaw*.— McNeiih also confessed his ignoianco.—Tho bench consulting that this was the fiist offence and that the defendants were not conscious of viol iting any by-law the case would be dismissed with a caution.
