IS FINED

among the people who ran against the
stern hand of the law was hack inspector
Frank Ferreira, the complaint being as
sault upon a young Portuguese also call
ed Ferreira.
This young man, it seems. belongs to
hoodlums who infest the slopes of Punch
bowl, and as this particular gang had
made itself a nuisance in the neigh
borhood of Green and Magazine
streets, Mr., Graham had complaint of
them made to Frank Ferreira.
Consequently, the officer was on the
lookout for them, and when he saw his
young namesake, who, by the way. is no
relation of his, in company with three
other boys, on Green street, he asked
them where they were going. Upon their
answering that they We're going home
he ordered them to hurry up about it.
Young Ferreira did not hustle sufficient
ly to suit the officer, and then, according
to the testimony of the witnesses, Frank
struck him over the back with his bride
reins, causing him to fall down. This,
however, did not prevent the young man
from decamping in hurry.
| That the witnesses were not entirely
angels, was proved by the testimony Of
one OF them, who answers to the meicdi-
Gus name Of Monkey Upon cross-ex-
ANIMATION my Attorney Leon Strauss, it
developed that he had been an inmate
of the reform school three times! each
| belong to him. as Monkey quantity put
| it.
AS the Court opined that the officer had
| exceeded his duty in ordering away the
boys when they were not engaged IN any
| mischief. the nominal fine of S. was
flevied.
| AS Frank Ferreira thought he had
been justified in doing what he consider
ed performing his duty. he appealed the
case.
| Tom Kit was in the tolls because
of his not being able to carry with dignf-
| ty the contents of a winsbottle. The
worthy Celestial ahal laid himself down
4 in the street with the empty bottle by
| his side, and was SO deep in celestial
dreamland that he could not be aroused.
He pleaded not guilty, calling the police
man a preVaricator and stated that
| Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was his
| bad angel, who lowered over him and
made the policemen do all sorts Of bad
| things to him. Tom Kit, by the way, is
| the man who went for Xavier with a
| knife some time ago, for which perform
ance he spent some time in Jail. While
he was before the court, his talk was
| so chldlike and bland that the consen-
sus of opinion was that his mind was not
| in running order. When he was finally
| fined Sc, he kicked up such a pow-Wow
| that he had to be sent down In the In
ferior regions.
| John Richards, charged with assault
and battery upon Manuel Richards, was
| fined IS and costs. 1t appears to be q
case of two hostile brothers, Manuel be-
| ing a hackman of good reputation, while
John has plenty of troubles of his own.
1t appears that Manuel, on Sunday,
went out to his sisters home, where he
found his niece, who had sought refuge
there at about o'clock in the morning,
fearing her fathers wrath, If returning
home at so late an hour. Her aunt had
tried to make her return home, and Man
uel was just trying to make her do the
same when John put in an appearance
and the girl went up to, him..
Manuel rushed up and tried to force
the girl to go with him In the buggy
in which he had come. when John hit
| him from behind. John swore that Man
uel had started the row by kicking and
beating him, but when the next witness,
who is sister of the aforementioned
girl, testified that Manuel had done no
such thing, the whole defense capsized.
and John got s. out of pocket.
Jack Namaielua, who had artistically
| blackened both eyes of his wife. was
made to realize that Judge Wilcox in
tends 10 carry out his word to put down
the practice, which has of late grown
| to be the fashion of natives when drunk,
| namely, that of beating their wives.
Though Jack pleaded jag as an excuse.
| 1t availed him little, and he had to pay
s25 and costs for his pugilistic tenden-
cies.
Of other cases, Sundelk got the Gus
| tomary 81 for drunkenness. and Strias-
ah and Adashi, charged with selling
liquor without license, had their cases
postponed till August S1st.
