POLICE COURT.
THIS DAY. (Before Mr S. E. McCarthy, SJ4.) The Drunkards. —Four first-offending drunkards were fined £ 1 each and costs, and Arthur McLean, convicted of the second ofl'ence within six months, was similarly dealt with. Shipmates.— Geo. Howell and Cornelius Murphy, who told the magistrate that they were shipmates, were charged "with creating a breach of the peace in Queenstreet last night. Their explanation was that two men set on to one of them, and they combined to resist the assault. Murphy was credited by two constables with being the man who started the fight, but when the accused men had given their statements Mr McCarthy came to the conclusion that the constables might have been mistaken. He said that the case would be dismissed, but the police did right in bringing it forward.
