Ile submtled that the evidence showed. there was a
fracas of some sort on the pr mires, of the conduct or
• th ,y knew there bad Lion complaint,. The
defendant's version of the row was that complainant's
wife slammed to Hi. door, and defendant's hand went

committing the damage.—The Mayor mild defendant had
no right to Wham in the house as he had dons, and he
would loe deed Si.,the costa of the damage. and oostA
in ill Sl—The Mayor speaking to the complainant, said
he would like to give Lim a caution to which be had
bettor attend. There was • rumour is the town that boys,
Youths shout IA war, being supplied at various public-
houses with drink called " ginger.tmer. but it was almost
Impassible to distinguish the so-called ginger*
beer from real beer. The magistrates were deter:Wand
to put a stop to such a practice, and he, as well se otheg
landlords, had better turn such lads out of their hew*
The umlauted were also aware of something beyond this
so for as Seward was o interned, and he must to. oareful
to order late out of his hones, as boys of 15 had no rktht
to come there for drink. If he was brought there again
he would be penished. Hebei cmiducted his hones fairly
well sine. he had been la it, but he must be useful for
the future. The Mayor further said he was desired to
speak to lb. police. There were rep -irts brought to the
magistrates that other publichous-s wore supplying
juveniles connected with the town with drink. and If
such • cue came bol ore them the parties would be dealt
with severely. Prevention wu better than curs, and he
spoke thus In public In the hope the Prom would take
notice of Ms remarks, so that people might road them and
learn a lemon, and not outlaws to serve boys with drink.
—Soot. Vickery said he knew the report, were true, and
that sines last Sunday boys had bun served with drink.
If be could briar home the ems he would not caution the
landlords but summon them. as he thought it was • most
cruel thing for landlords to supply children with drink.
