RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. This Day.
(Before J. C. Crawford, Esq., R.M.) William Ward was charged with stealing from the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas H. Boughton, Baker's Hill, one gold ring, one watch, two silver chains, one meerschaum pipe, one opera glass, one overcoat, one blanket, and one counterpane. It appeared that Mr. Boughton had shown the prisoner considerable kindness, in return for which he broke open his bedroom and stole the' articles named. Their value was stated at £10 to enable the case to be disposed of summarily. The prisoner His Worship sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labor. BREACH OF DESTITUTE PERSONS ACT. Richard Atkins was charged with neglecting to support his wife and family. He was ordered to pay 15s per week. CIVIL CASES. A dozen civil cases were entered (including seven on behalf of the Co-operative Baking Company), but all were settled out of Court, or adjourned.
