POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY. (Before Mr. R. W. Dyer, S.M.) INEBRIATE. Judging by the lengthy procession of revellers through the Court this morning, Saturday night must have been one of the gayest of the season. The census of the allegedly inebriated figured out at 13—a complement which included a couple of feminine defaulters. One first offender parted with the usual levy, -while three others preferred to forfeit their bail. Number five was remanded for a -week's medical treatment. Robert John Gftlbraith, -with a prior appearance, was mulcted in a penalty of 10/-. in default 48 hours. John William McMichael, George Hurrison-' and William Greene wore similarly oeal with. Henry Daniel Mackay, who admitted his second offence, lost 17/6 as for medical expenses. FORBIDDEN METHODS. John Sullivan and Charles O'Connor, two seamen who had endeavoured to settle an argument by resorting to fists, were each fined £1, with the alternative of a fortnight at the mountain. FLORID LANGUAGE. Frederick Cross admitted being disorderly while drunk and using obscene language, but remarked that he had no recollection of the second accusation. From the police evidence it appeared that Cross invited the arresting constable to a trial of fisticuffs, doffing his coat in preparation, to the accompaniment of some indelicately worded phrases. A fine of £1, in default 14 days, was imposed on the first charge, and another of £2, in default a month, on the second.
