|Before Messrs Rnthborne and Knox, J. Vs.] MaI.ICIOL'.S INJL'IIV TO PItOI'KHTY. —1 >alliel Weir, John Alfred Leece, and 'lohn Powell Bayley, charged with malicious injury t" a tangye pump, the property of the Taupin Extended Coal Mining Company, were brought up on rt.mand yesterday, and after the evidence of Inspector Emerson and the police detailing the circumstances of the arrests, the case for the prosecution closed. Mr O'Neill reserved his defence and the prisoners were duly committed for trial. Mr O'Neill then applied for bail which the Bench were disposed to grant. Mr Hay, however, opposed this course on the ground, that in view of tho unsatisfactory state of affairs at liuutly the fact of these men being at large would tend to aggravate the bitterness of feeling already existing in that community, and would lead to a breach of the peace, and in any case would necessitate the keeping of a large body of policethere to provide protection to tho residents. Under these circumstances the Bench declined to admit the prisoners to bail.
