Charles bersiock and Arthur Hurdle, both of Parkstone,
were summoned with having damaged a rick of firs,
on the 9th inst, the property of Mr. .I. H. Hudson, to
the amount of £4.—The defendants said it was an
accident, they had been lighting their pipes and the
match thrown away had set fire to the rick, and it got
so large that they became afraid and ran away. —The
prosecutor said he did not believe the boys intentionally
set the rick on fire, it was done thoughtlessly and care-
lessly. But what he protested against was that the
road- was a private one, and the defendants were
trespassing. He hoped the Bench would be lenient
with them, but he 'rushed the defendants and others to
understand that they could not go about private pro-
perty with impunity.—The Bench imposed a fine of
Is. and costs, also the damage, making altogether
£2 Ts. 6d. each, in default one month's imprisonment.

guilty and the latter not guilty.—The charge against
the latter was dismissed, and the prosecutor not wish-
ing to proceed with the case owing to the youth of the
defendants the Bench dismissed the defendants,
Murray, on payment of costs.
