u the affair has arisen a ma o two of intimidation
which were heard before the Borough Magistrates on
Tuesday. The magistrates were—Mr. W. Talbot, Dr.
Drew, Mr. J. 111.xe, and Dr. Simpson.
Skied Symms was summoned by John Barrett for in-
tamidatnig him from his week for the Gm Company.
The latter were the reel prosecutor& and the summons
wee issued unbar SS and 30 Victoria, chap. 86, secUon 7.
Mr. George appeared for Symee —Mr. Menne for the
prosecution asked that all witnesses might be out of
mart He said he Marred for the Gm Company, and
that would relieve the nominal plaintiff from any stigma
ta the ewe, the onus rested on the Gas Company alone.
This was the very first instance of the kind that had ever
come before the h under the present Act of Palle-
meet. The Act passed in urn repealed the former Acts,
and was called the Conspiracy and Protection of Property
Act, and he read the section, an follows :—" Every
who, with • view to compel any other pavan to &CIL?:
from doing or to do any act which such other person ham
a legal right to do, dose wrongfully and withiout legal
aathority use violence to or intimidate such other person,
or hie wife or children, or injures his property, or persis-
tently follows such other person about from place to place,
or hide. any tools, clothes, or other property owned or
need by such other person, or deprives him of or hinders
him in the use thereof, or watches or besets the house or
other place where such other parson reside, or works or
carries on business, or happens to be, on the approach of
such home or place, or follows such other person with two
or more other persons in a disorderly manner in or
through any street or road."—The former Acts were con-
sidered to be class legislation, therefore those Acts were
repealed and the present Act passed. There were two
summonses, and the offences were distinct. A special
provision had been made with respect to Water and Ciao
Companies, over whom the Lecislature cast • special
shield, they have the responsibility of providing a town
or city with water or Oa, and this section gave power to
Inflict • punishment on men who Interfered• knowingly
with such provision of three months' hard labour.
A.aother &scum authorised the Bench to deal with the
case as if the parties had been charged with an indictable
