~ Mahoe, a s~chool-master, pleaded guilty
Ibefore Judge Bickerton on Tuesday last to an
assault on a child of six years of age named Kaa-
4 ihue. by beating him with a stick. In his state
8ment to the court he said that the boy would
not learn his lesson and had lost a book, and
that he gave him the beating as punishment for
these offences. The Court examined the boys
BODY and found several severe bruises, one very
severe, near the groin. His Honor considered
that as Mahoe was nearly 20 years of age the
Tease required the infiiction of something more
than a fine. He therefore sentenced Mahoe to
one months Imprisonment at hard labor. An
appeal was noted to the Intermediary Court for
mitigation of sentence.

of Andrews took it down to lower the triggers
which he had forgotten to do when he put 1t
away. The woman and child were lying ON the
mats at the time, and KaiO managed III some way
to discharge one of the barrels. Some of the
shot passed through the child's hand between
the lower Joints of the thumb and forefinger.
The woman was also slightly graZed on the
shoulder, The injuries have not proved serious,
and both mother and child are recovering from
them very we'll.
RE The Earl DaIhousie which probably
leaves tomorrow for San Francisco, has had
quick dispatch at the hands of her agents
Messrs. G.. w. Macfarlane & Co., and but for
the delay in the arrival of inter-island coasters
would carry a large cargo. As it is, the Dali
housie will carry away nearly a thousand tons of
sugar, 400 tons of which, was, by the energy of
Mr. w Carter fine firms freight alcrl
placed on board Of her in one day. The rapid
itv with which the two last vessels, the w. H.
Diamond and Earl Dalhousie, consigned to this
firm, have been discharged and reloaded is proof
of the wide awake energy used by the Messrs.
Macfarlane in their business as commercial
agents.
