PIPE HAWKERS IN TROUBLE.—At the PoHee Court, on
Monday, before Mr. J. J. Harvey (Mayor), Messrs. H.
J. Dixon, G. Turton, and S. Fawcett, John Toole ivae

charged with obtaining 5s from Thomas Cooke, .11
weaver, by false pretences, on Saturday night. Pfl•
goner went into the kitchen of a pablic•house where
the prosecutor was, and offered a meerschaum pipe for
sale for Ss, as he was " hard up" Cooke bought the
pipe for 51, and it was afterwards taken to a tobacconist -
and pipe dealer, who declared that it was not meer-
sohaum, and that its retail value was only is 3d•
—Prisoner was committed to take his trial on the
above charge.—James Tool., a brother of the prisoner,
was apprehended whilst offering prizes for sale on
Saturday night. The pipes were similar to the one sold
to Cooke.—Prisoner was remanded till Wednesday for
further evidence.—On Wednesday prisoner was brought
up on remand, and he pleaded guilty to the charge of
hawking without a license.—The Bench said the penalty
for the offence was £10; but they were allowed to
reduce it to £2 IN.—Prisoner said he was a pedlar and
not a hawker within the meaning of the Act, as he was
on foot and carried his wares himself. They would find
that the _Pedlars' Certificates Act fixed the penalty for
peddling without a certificate at 10s, or one month
imprisonment.—The Bench consulted with their Clerk,
and said they had the option of taking it under either
Act. They would, therefore, treat him as a pedlar,
and fine him 5s and costs: in default fourteen days.--
Prisoner : Thank you. Good morning gentleman

The money was afterwards paid.—Mr. J. J. Corbet
prosecuted.
