Burkes Family ; and Jane Conway, Tattersall's, for selling on Sunday, May 12th. The informations had been laid by George James Bruce (5), John Thomas Boyer _(3), Edmund Peter Gill (5), and William George McDonald (1), and cross informations had been laid by the previously named defendants, against them severally for inciting and procuring iv the cases ia which they were concerned the offence named ; also against them collectively, with Percy Wake joined, for conspiring to incite and procure the off±_ce3 charged against Thomas B. Gaffaey. Mr Caygill appeared for the informants against the publicans; Mr Kippenberger for the defendants Gaffuey, Hall aud Burke. Mr Deacon for Neill, Mr Fisher for Walker, Hatfield, and Rivenhill; Mr Loughrey for Schultheis and Fox, and Mr Wilding tor Mrs Conway. In the conspiracy cases Mr Kippenberger appeared for the prosecution, Mr Caygill for the defence.
After the names had been called over, Mr Walker, the Clerk of the Court, addressing the Bench, said he would ask that the whole of the case 3 might, in the unavoidable absence of a Stipendiary Magistrate, stand over sine die, tne parties to be informed when arrangements had been made for the hearing. Mr Kippenberger wanted to know if there was any chance of the hearing being taken on Friday; if fixed for auy day in the following week, it would be exceedingly inconvenient for him and the other counsel who all had arrangements for that time. Mr Walker said that in fixing the date counsel would be consulted.
The cases were then formally adjourned sine die.
