FATimryy, A .

Stafford, Pearce, Bourne, and Hillman were charged
with being drunk and disorderly, on the 21st ult, at
Kingswinford.—Mr. Holberton defended.—Police-con-
stable White said he was on duty on the above date
when he heard a great disturbance, and on going to the
place he found the four defendants with a number of
others, and defendants were all drunk and using bad
language. He saw them again half an hour afterwards
and on that occasion Stafford and Pearce were fighting
and the other two were aiding them.—Witnesses were
called on behalf of Bourne and Hillman to prove that
they were sober but the Bench said they believed the
evidence of the officer, and fined Stafford and Pearce
lOs and costs each; in default 14 days, and the other
two defendants 2s 6d and costs ; or 7 days.
ASSAULTING a WlFE.—Joseph Beckley was charged
with assaulting Rhoda Beckley, his wife, on the 16th
ult, at Brierley Hill.—Mr. Clulow appeared for com-
plainant, and Mr. Waldron defended.—Complainamt
said on the above date she was in bed when defendant
came up stairs and struck her a blow on the face. She
had been married two years and defendant had assaulted
her more than once.—Defendant was fined is and

CHARGE AGAINST A PUBLICAN —Keziah Harris, land-
lady of the Bull's Head Inn, Brockmore, was charged
with having her house open during prohibited hours, on
the 22nd ult.—Mr. Clulow defended.—Police-constable
White said about nine a.m. on the above date he was in
company with Police-constable Thorley. He went to
defendant's back door and met a lad coming out with a
bottle of ale in his hand. He took the bottle into the
house and the boy pointed out the person that had served
him with the ale and it was defendant's son. Witness
called defendant's attention to it and she said she did not
know anything about it. The back door was open.
Cross-examined: Defendant did say she did not know
that the ale was filled.—Mr. Clulow, in defence, said the
ale was filled for the man on the Saturday night but he
went away and forgot it. It was not filled on the Sun-
day neither was anything paid for it on the Sunday. It
was not done with any guilty knowledge and he would
ask the Bench to be as lenient as possible with defend-
ant.—Fined 5s and costs, it_being the first offence,

HARGE OF STEALING IRON.—Caroline Palley was
charged with stealing a quantity of pig iron, the pro-
perty of Henry Onions Firmstone, at the Lays, on the
17th tilt.—Mr. Addison defended.—John Smith said he
was stocktaker in the employ of prosecutor at the Lays
Ironworks. He was near Bromley Station on the
Kingswinford branch between eleven and twelve o'clock
on the above.date when he saw prisoner behind a stack
of pigs and she picked up three pieces of iron. Witness
went up to her and put his hand on her shoulder and
asked her what she hal in her apron when she said it was
dinner. Ha said she had got pig iron and she threw one
piece into the canal. The iron she had in her apron
would be about 401bs.—Thomas Hbrtland said he heard
last witness shout and saw a woman running away from
him. She threw a piece of iron in the canal but he
did not see her face and could not swear to her.—
Thomas Smith said on the above date he saw prisoner
going along the sanal side as fast as she could go.—
Police constable Cotterill said he went to arrest prisoner
on a charge of stealing pig iron from Mr. Firmstone
and she denied that she was there and he then fetched
the first witness (Smith), who said he believed prisoner
was the woman but was not sure in the candle light.
The next morning witness went to prisoner's house
with young Smith who identified her as the woman he
saw on the canal side. Witness then arrested her and
she most emphatically denied being there.-11r. Addison,
in defence, called Emma Westwood, who said on the
17th tilt, prisoner was in her house at twelve o'clock and
at that time she had neither bonnet nor shawl on.-11r.
Evers said it was a case of very strong suspicionAut as
the evidence of the two Smith's was not giveff' in a
satisfactory manner they should dismiss the case.

Frederick Brook's claim for damage to his meadows
caused by the works' was drawn. Cheques for £5O for
Mr. Taylor, £46 16s for clerk of the works, £35 for
surveyor, and £BB for gas account, were also drawn.—
The financial statement showed £159 17s id to be due
from treasurer on Local Board account, and £125 is 4d
on Commissioners' account. It was decided to make a
highway rate at 10d in tie pouf d —Mr. Carey (medieil
officer) reported that the district was very healthy, and
there were no deaths during the past mouth from
zymotic disease. The deaths registered in the month
had been 7, against 14 in the corresponding month of
last year, and the death-rate was 120 per thousand.—
There was some further discussion respecting the repair
of the roads at Stoney Hill. The Rev. E. T. Scammell
and Messrs. W. Holyoake and C. Field, jun waited
upon the Board as a deputation from the inhabitants.
An offer of the Board to sell metal at a reasonable rate
was accepted ; but Ii consequence of the roads not
being of a proper width, and it being impossible now to
make them so, the Board cannot repair the roads,
neither can they undertake the lighting.—A. letter from
Mr. A. Bennett was read, withdrawing a requisition ask-
ing the Board to take to the road by the Crescent in the
New Road as a public road, as Mr. S. Yates asked the
sum of £6O for his interest in a portion of the:road, and
the demand was considered to be unreasonable.—There
was also some correspondence with Mr. Allport, of the
Midland Railway Company, respecting the Board's
applicationlfor an enquiry and an interview with the.direc-
tors, to represent the necessity for better accommodation
at Bromsgrove Station, to prevent danger to passengers
and delay in crossing the line It was stated that an
officer of the company would wait upon the Board next
day (Thursday).—After some disussion as to the want of
drainage at Sidemoor, which has frequently been the
subject of complaint at the Board, it was decided to
cleanse the brook tiiere and lay down pipes to carry off
the surface water.—A. letter from Messrs. Scott and
Horton, solicitors, was read, calling attention to an
obstruction placed by the trustees of the late Mr.
George Dipple before a door opening from Mr. Saywell's
1
premises on to a road leading from the new road to
Alcester Road, and aking whether the site of this road
was not purchased by the Board of Mr. Francis some
years ago, and the road dedicated to the public use, the 1
site afterwards being conveyed by the Local
Board to Mr. Dipple, and if so, by what authority
the Board had so disposed of the site.—Mr. Sanders,
said he had received the letter only a few minutes
before the meeting, and, of course, it was impossible to
deal with the matter then but he promised that all the
papers relating to it should be looked up, and laid
before the Board.—After some observations from Mr.
Saywell, Mr. Sanders, the Chairman, and others, it was
decided to leave all further discussion upon the matter
till the Board are in possession of the desired informa-
tion.—Plans for a terrace of s 4 houses, to be erected
by Mr, John Sheldon, at the Crescent, New Road, were
passed, and the meeting ended.
ALL SAINTS:—We understand that the Rev. the
Hon. A. H. Massey, incumbent of AU Sainsts', Brew-
grove, has appointed the Rev. W. W. Revers, late of
Hanbury, to assist him in his clerical duties in the
district.

THROAT LamaTiou.—The throat and windpipe are
especially liable to inflammation, causing soreuess and
dryness, tickling and irritation, inducing cough and. af-
fecting the voice. For these symptoms use glycerine in
the form of jujubes. Glycerine, in these agreeable
confections, being in proximity to the glands et
the moment they are excited by the act of sucking,
becomes actively healing. 6d. and is. boxes (by post

The PRIVATION OF THE USE OF ONES'S LIMBS while the

without enduring agony is impossible, to use the arms,
free from excruciating pain, is equally impracticable. A
