R.M. COURT, TAURANGA.
At the .Resident Magistrate's Court, on Monday, May 27, Alexander Campbell was sentenced to imprisonment for two months for stealing a blanket. Major Eoberts, B. M. , and Mr. Samuel Clarke, J.P., composed the Bench. — On Wednesday Hugh Campbell was committed for trial on a charge of improperly converting to his own use a horse belonging to Mr. G, Faulkner. The mode of prisoner's capture by Detective Kell was very smart, and evinced that shrewdness for which detectives are famous. Campbell waa unknown to the detective except by description, but receiving tidings of such a person having proceeded from Auckland to Coromandel,lCell provided himself with a blank envelope, which he addressed to Campbell, and, observing a person answering to the description proceeding to his work, tools in hand, stepped up to him, saying, "I believe I have a letter for you," at the same time presenting the envelope. "Ohfyea, that's for me," said the unlucky man. "Then, I have another," said Kell, producing the warrant.
