W. K. Fisher, J. Cother, and .1. C Wheeler, &qrs.
A BAD NIIGHW,UIOIOOD. Allred Churchill WAS
charged with *vaulting and using abusive and obscene
language towards Mrs. Catherine Buncill, residing in
Squire's bnildirip,_ Green Croft Street. Prosecutriz
stated that -n Wednesday evening last she went out to
empty some slops, when defendant jeurped over a hedge,
and said, "are you throwing that into my mouth or
over my doer and made use of most disgusting epithets.
Complainant remonstrated with him, when he said
"I'll kick your guts out," and put his fist near her ,
face, but did not strike her. Rhoda Hayter, rider of
complainant, a married woman, said she heard defendant
swearing most dreadfully and using almost indescribable
obscene language. Defendant: Both Mrs. Buncill and
Mrs. Hayter have frequently thrown slops he., into my
garden, particularly over a few vegetribliis I have grow-
ing, thus rendering them unfit for con•umption. I
have watched often, but have not properly esught them
until Wednesday night. Mrs. Hayter, in oontinuation,
raid she was • laundress. Defendant and several parties
residing adjacent were always drinking. Churchill had
made disgusting and unfounded remarks regarding her
mother, who WAS • widow, and 56 years of age, because
a widower and his child lodged with her. (Mr. Supt.
Caldow here observed it was kind of witness's mother
to do so. The boarder was a respectable man.) Defend-
ant then called Mrs. Louisa Melon, who said, there was
• deal of altercation between Churchill and complain-
ant; in fact the whole of the parties concerned used
mo.t foul and disgraceful language. At this stage of
the proceedings the office wes closed, during which time
Mrs. Hayter threatened the last witness how she would
serve her hereafter. Serjesnt lleGough represented
to the Bench what had taken place. Upon re-opening
the court, the Bench deciiied that Alfred Churchill be
bound in his own recognisance' in the so" of £lO, to
kiep the peace towards lire. Bancill and Mrs. Hayter,
for six months, and Mrs. Hayter and Mrs. Hamill each
TIO to keep the pesos for six mouths towards Mrs.
MOSOO. At the sieenlttsiee of this disses•sefel emus the
Bench truthfully observed that the Green Croft re-
quired sreeding.and it was probable the authorities would
take action in the matter.

John Cook, Thomas Hibberd, and Edward Worther
were charged with creating • disturbance., in Gigant.
street.—P.C. Agoell stated Out between eight and nine
o'clock, while peening through Gigant-street,he observed

paring to burn an effigy of smut named Walker,
residing in the street. He saw Hibberd with an effigy
on • stick, but upon awing witness he threw it
down and ran away. Cook also had • hand in the
matter. Wotthey ran lean the door of Mrs. Walker's
house to pick up the stink, and witness then apprehended
the defendants. Cook was exciting the mob on, in fact,
eonipienous amongst the wemblage, and drank.
Worthey denied having anything to do in the matter,
which was proved otherwise. —Sergeant McGough stated
that during his tour of duty he observed a vast eon.
course of people in Gigant-strest, and aeon inquiry
ascertained that Cook and Hibbard were at,eropting to
burn an effigy of a Mr. Walker—Rose Walker said
that she was the wife of Walker, whom effigy was to
hsve been burnt, but could not tell who anted it.—
The Bench adjudged Cook sad Hibberd to a los of 10s.
and costa, or 7 days' imprisooment, tbe whole amounting
to 14.. 6d., and cautioned Worthay as to his future
conduct.
