Gebbie, jun., removing soil from Leith street, not having permission to do so from the Corpor tion, dismissed. I 'avid Bmnuer, James Longa, and Robert Woodhurn, were charged with cutting trees on the Town Belt. Mr Wilson appeared ior the defendants, and said that the case was one with which the Magistrate could not deal under the provisions of the bye-laws, as the defendants were in the service of Air Tomlinson, who had a lease of that port on of the Town Belt on which th alle,.ed offence was committed. Although he admitted that Bremner had acted contrary to Mr Tomlinson’s orders, it was a matter that must be stated between that gentleman and the Corporation, who would have to sue for infraction of the conditions of his lease. A lease was produced, which it was proved contained reservations as to cutting timber, and also covenanting for the right of access by the puMic to the ground.—His Worship, on examination of its provisions, considered that it was not a case that came under the operation of the bye-laws under which the offence was charged. It was therefore dismissed. ASSAULT. Mary M‘Kay v, Susannah Phillips.—The prosecutrix charged the defendant with assaulting and beating her. It appeared that Airs M‘Kay was fetching some milk in a jug, when Mrs Phillips snatched the jug from her hand and broke it.—The Magistrate told the prosecutrix to go and get a iug from Airs Phillips, and go home. Case dismissed. The Court then adjourned.
