R.M. COURT, CAMBRIDGE.

Ybsterday.— (Before Captain Jackson, R.M.)

Throwing Stoves.-Two small boys were charged with throwing stones in Victuriastreet, to the danger of the public. They pleaded guilty, but as the con.itablo had only brought them up as a caution to the school children, they received a lecture and were discharged. Cuufxty TO A Hoksb.—Arthur Bell was charged with having ill-treated a bay mare on May sth, by leaving it on the Hamilton road without food or water. He pleaded guilty. It appeared accused was returning from the Hamilton races when his horse knocked up. Hβ put it in a paddock and told the owner of the paddock he would come and attend to it. The horse was turned out of the paddock along with others to got water, but it was so weak that it fell down on the road, where it lay for several days without being attended to. It was eventually destroyed. Fined £2 and costs, Us. —Constable Brennan applied to have 10-5 (!d expenses allowed, the Police Department having expended that amount in finding the owner of the horse ; but the Magistrate refused to do so. DituNK and Doing Malicious Injury.— Reginald Bernard Fitzpatrick was charged with being drunk and riotous in Lakestreet on the evening of May 10th. Ho was further charged with breaking a pane of glass in the National Hotel on the same evening. The evidence in this case occupied a considerable time ; the accused being deaf, it all had to be written down for him. After considerable titno had been wasted on the caao, accused, who has a most ungovernable temper, exhibited it. to the Court, and said he did not care how mueh he got for it. When cautioned not to use such language, he repeated it. —The Magistrate said it appeared strange that a man receiving charitable aid should be able to get drunk and make a nuisance of himself. He then sentenced accused to one month in Mount Eden Gaol for breaking the glass.— Accused said the Court might as well have given him 12 months for all he cared.—This concluded the business.
