A married couple had a grievance settled in the Magistrate's Court this morning, when the husband, Ernestf Carl Max Mielsch, was charged with having assaulted hte life. A plea of guilty was entered, and it was explained for the prosecution that the defendant, on the evening on 9th inst., threw his wife on tfhe floor of his house and bit her nose severely. The defendant, a German, made a statement to an interpreter that he had trouble with his wife because she would not get up and prepare his breakfast The police stated tftiat accused committed the assault after the informant told him she intended applying for a separation ord«r against him. Dr. A. M'Arthur, S.M., impose^ at fine of 40s, in default one month's imprisonment, granted a separation order against the defendant by consent, and directed him to pay 15s a w,eek towards her maintenance. That good fortune attends some intoxicated men was illustrated by a case which came before the Sydney Water Police Court recently, when (according to tho Sydney Morning Herald) a man describing himself as a boot merchant from New Zealand appeared on a charge of drunkenness. The New Zealander had, it appears, but recently arrived in this city, and was in a much inebriated condition when a constable found him crawling on his hands and knees in Kent-street. In following the usual custom of searching prisoners a small fortune was abstracted from the man's pockets. Cheques and cash amounting to £1800, of which £7 17s Id was in coin, were duly entered to his credit at the police station. The boot merchant pleaded guilty to the charge, and had no hesitation in paying the fine of 5s when offered the alternative detention until the court's rising. He made a hurried exit. An application for renewal of a wholesale license to John Schischka was made to tho Auckland Licensing Committee at its annual meeting. Schischka is the Auckland merchant who was fined £500 by a Supreme Court judge for having pub inferior manure into bags bearing the brand of a company, not his own. Regarding the application, the policereported that "John Schischka is not a fit and proper person to hold a wholesale license." Mr. Baume, ' counsel for applicant, said the offence for which the applicant had been recently punished in the Supreme Court in connection with the sale oi manure had nothing whatever to do with his business as the holder of a wholesale license. A police report showed that Schischka had consigned three cases of whisky, described as cordials, to Ngaruawahia, and that they had been repacked at Ngaruawahia and shipped in one case to T© Kuiti, in the King Country. For that offence he was fined £20. Mr. Baume explained that the repacking of tho whisky for shipment to the King Country was not done by the applicant, but by some one else. Schisehka was fined for a breach of the railway regulations in this matter, and not for sending liquor into tne King Country. Ho did nob do this kind of business, and it would not suit him to do it. It was made clear by several committeemen that the committee viewed tho application with disfavour, not on account of the manure fraud, but because of the Ngaruawahia prosecution. Finally, 'Mr. Baume applied for a transfer, but answer was made that in event of a transfer the business would still be Schischka's. The renewal was unanimously refused. The report of the Petone Bowling Club, to be presented at the - annual meeting on the 22nd inst., states that the year opened wilb a Credit balance of £1 7s 3d, with outstanding liabilities amounting to £313 10s ; the assets wore valued at £424 7s 3d, showing «i surplus of £110 178 3d. The balance sheet now shows a credit balance of Is lid, with outstanding liabilities amounting to £317, and the assets aro valued at £455 Is lid, showing a surplus of £137 3s 9d. Alterations and additions to the plant had been carried out, involving an expenditure of about £35. The committee would like to place on record the fact that these alterations and additions were effected by members of the olub withc/Ut ';bst to the dub except for v timber and material, and, they add, "it looks well for the future of the club that we have members who will voluntarily give their services in carrying out improvements." Mr. W. G. Henry had carried out the duties of; caretaker to the entire satisfaction ot the committee. The membership of tho club now totals 76. At the Bdwling Association's tournament the club was represented by Messrs. Jones, Barlow, MacFarlane, T. M'Arthur, Cowie, Griffiths, Coles, and Wylie. They won five frames and lost four. This, says the, report, is a record that the club should consider satisfactory, especially as the games lost were lost by a smajl number of points.' Tho various club competitions resulted as follows : — Beginners, R. Firth 5 Juhiof -Handicap Singles, F. Cooper ; Handicap Pairs Match, A. Cowrie, and F. Cooper ; Champion Pairs, A. Marsden and T?. M'Arthur ; ' Champion Singles, G. D. MacFarlane 5 WedI nesday Singles Handicap, J. Barlow. Tho Boxing Day competition was won by S. Maynard, with T. M'Arthur second \ and in the progressive match on 14th April Messrs, A. Coles and A. Marsden tied and generously gave the prize-m6ney to the funds of the club. Mr. Cowie had carried out the duties of green superintendent during the year, and the report expresses thanks to him for the manner in which he had fulfilled his office.
