mitted for 21 days' hard labour, and Polston, who has
i when entering the club, and for sundry reasons neglect
previously been convicted, was seatenced totd days' hard to pay it. It was determined twelve months ago to try
labour, t for these debts in the County Court, but there was a
great doubt whether they were recoverable. That ques-
tion wus set at rest by the issue of two cases at Dudley
about nine months ago, so one of our defaulters was en-
tered in the Court, that we might see if the issue would
be the same. We chose for our experiment out who
would not pay, though he often had promised to, and
easily could have done so. The ease was tried on the 19th
lust before Mr. Rupert Kettle, who simply asked how
much was owing? what trade was the debtor:' and what
was it owing for' and then made au order for the pay-
ment of it in 14 days. This fact will. I am sure, be use-
ful to other clubs, as it will be also to us, for it Is our in-
tention to apply once more, and once only, to other
defaulters, and if they do not pay to proceed against
them in the same way.
By inserting this you will greatly oblige,
Yours respectfully,
W. CR tIsiMER,
Hon. Sec. of Lye Cricket Club.

HIGHWAY OFFENCE.—Joseph Weston, a young man,
was charged with firing off a certain cannon in New.
street, Quarry Bank, on the let instant. Mr. Clulow de.
fended. As there was no evidence to prove that ciefend-
ant fired the cannon, the case was dismissed.—Defendant
was farther charged with wilfully breaking a window on
the 7th inst, the property of John Robinson, value lid.
Complainant said that the defendant threw a stone at the
window, and broke it. He went and met the defendant,
who acknowledged breaking the window. In auswar to
the Bench, witness said he did not see the stone thrown.

Case dismiased.
DRUNK AND INCAPARLE.—WiIIiam Sutton wascharged
with being drunk and incapable. on the 6th inst. Police-
constable Fox proved that he found the defendant lying
in tie street near the Stewponey, quite drunk. Police-
constable Freeman proved that defendant had been con-
victed nine or ten times. Defendant said he thought it
was about eight. Fined 105 and coats; in default 14

days.
STEALING PEARS.—Jaraes Bate and Walter Jones, two
boys, were charged with stealing pears on the 9th hist,
the property of Thomas William Jones. John Wood,
gardener, proved that he saw the two defendants up the
trees, and that his master has been a good deal annoyed
by the defendants. Police-constable Freeman proved
that Jones had been four times previously convicted.
Fined 5s each and colts; in default 14 days.
BREACH Or THE PEACE. Benjamin Cartwright was
charged with committing a breach of the peace by fight.
ing on the Bth inst, at Amblcote. Two witnesses were
called to give evidence, but as neither of them aaw any
blows struck, the case was dismissed.
CHARGE or THREATENING.—Simeon Dunn was charged
by Benjamin Cooper with using threatening language to
him on the Bth. The threat complained of was that the
defendant would knock his teeth out, and witness was
afraid of defendant, but did not wish to hurt him. The
defendant was bound over in his own recegnizances of
£lO, to keep the peace for six months.
CHARGE AGAINsT A LicENdED VICTUALLER.—George
Sylvanus Gwilliaro, landlord of the Swan Inn, was sum-
moned by Superinteedent Mills for supplying ale to one
Charles Webb, on the Bth Mat, while in a drunken state.
Mr. Holberten defended Gwilliam. Police-sergeant
Walters said that he saw the man, Webb, who was in
charge of a horse and cart, and was so drunk that he had
to hold on by the cart. He went to defendant's house,
where he was supplied with more ale by the defendant's
daughter. This was corroborated by Police-constable
Freeman. For the defence, Mr. Holberton said that the
defendant's daughter supplied the ale, and at the time
she did not know the man was drunk, as he merely came
to the door and called for a half.piut of ale, and drank it
at the door, and contended that the case was one of such
a nature that the legislature never inteuded to convict;
and asked the Bench to dismiss it. The defendant and
his daughter were called to prove that they did not see
that Webb was drunk. The Bench were of opinion that
the man was drunk, but it was not an aggravated case,
and it being the first Cabe under the new Act, they should
order the defendant to pay the costs, and not endorse
his license. Persons filling ale to a man drunk were
liable to a tine of .t.lO for the first, and £2O for the sec-
ond offence.
CHARGE Or DRUNKENNESS.—CharIes Webb was then
charged with being drunk OE the Bth inst. Police-ser-
grant Walter proved the case. Defendant produced a
letter which stated that he was the worse for beer, which
canned a little laughter. Fined ge lid and costs.
NEGLECT OF WORK. Richard Hyde, colier, was
charged with leaving the work of Edward Bowen, col-
liery proprietor, on the Bth Mat, without giving the usual
14 days' notice. Mr. Clulow prosecuted. Edward Bowen,
jun., said that it was customary to give and take 14 days'
notice, and the rule to that effect was posted at the works.
Defendant lift on the above date without giving notice.
'rhere was plenty of work for him to do, and in conse-
quence of the defendant leaving his work others had to
leave their work, as the defendant was a loader. Ad-
journed for the attendance of the doggy.
DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. George Southall was
charged with being drunk at Quarry Bank, on the sth
inst. Police•coustable Hughes proved tIG case. As the
defendant was an old offender, he was fined 5s and costs.
DRUNK AND RaiI:MING TO QUIT. Thomas %Vessel'
was summoned for being drunk and refusing to quit the
Vine Inn, Bromley, on the Bth instant. The landlord
proved the case, and said that he had to put the defend'
ant out of the house, and that defendant was very vio-
lent and resisted. This was corroborated by complain-
ant's servant. Fined 108 and costa.
BER101:a AfibAULT.—William Griffin, ironworker, was
charged with assaulting Harriet Barnes, en the sth inst.
Mr. Clulow defended. From the evidence of complain-
ant it appeared that she was a married woman, and had
been with her husband. On going home the defendant
had been with complainant's husband, who had walked
on in front, because complainant had • bad knee. The
defendant came up to her, caught her by the arms and
dragged her across the turnpike road, made use of bed
language. and assaulted her. She called out for her hus-
band, who came up at the time. She also complained to
the police. Complainant's husband and another witness
were called to prove that the defendant came to the com-
plainant's house, and there expressed his sorrow for what
had taken place, and said that he was drunk and knew
nothing about it, and hoped they would look over it.-
Mr. Clulow addressed the Bench for the defence, and
totally denied the charge, and contended that it was a
case of mistaken identity, and called the attention of the
Bench to the fact that all the parties on the followieg
Sunday were drinking whiskey together; that his client
held a very responsible position in a large firm of iron
manufacturers, and it ass a very serious matter to him.
But he should prove by witnesses that defendant did not
assault the complainant, and if he proved this he should
ask the Bench to dismiss his client. Several witnesses
were then called, and after hearing the evidence the Bench.
remarked that they were of opinion that an assault had
been committed, but that complainant's conduct was not
free from blame, and fined defendant 5s and Costs.
