At a sitting of the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday morning, Frank Bird, Esq., presiding, the following business was dealt with : — A case of considerable interest to miners was thab of William Heffernan, coal miner, who was charged byM. Kennedy, proprietor of the Brunner Coal Mine, with a breach of the special rules made under and in pursuance of the Regulation of Mines Act, 1881 Defendant, who is employed in the company's mine, passed beyond a certain situation which the manager of the mine said miners should not go until such situation had been duly inspected and declared safe by a written notice. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr Kennedy asked hie Worship

to inflict the lowest penalty, as he said he mly wished to make the occurrence a caution to defendant and a warning to others, in the mine not to violate the underground regulations in that way. Accused was fined ss, costs of r'ourt 7s. — Bobert Greenshield was fined 5s for drunkenness, with the alternative of 24 hours. — George Simpson was fined 5s for allowing his horse to wander at large'; costs of Court, 7s.— Henry Jones, licensed victualler at Brunnerton, was charged by Constable Scully with allowing an unlawful game to be carried on in his licensed house. Mr Kitchingham appeared for defendant. It appeared that the unlawful game consisted of the raffling of two mufflers for some charitable purpose. Jones pleaded that the raffle was carried on against his wishes, and that he would have stopped it had he been aware it was going on. : The Magistrate, after hearing both sides, dismissed the case. The civil business of the Court was as follows : — George William Moss, Manager of the Golden Fleece United Quartz Mining Company, sued William Watson for £2 10s for calls in that company. Mr Kitchingh am appeared for - plaintiff. Judgment for amount claimed, with costs of Court 11s and counsel's fee 21s. Michael Bourke v John Grainey — Claim £3, value of female goat destroyed in consequence of injuries wilfully inflicted on it by defendant. Mr Hannan appeired for plaintiff and Mr Kitchingham for defendant. The case was adjourned on the application of counsel for plaintiff in consequence of the absence of necessary witnesses. An accident which might have been .attended with serious consequences happened on the Kumara tramway yesterday. When the car, which leaves the latter place at noon, had got to within about half a mile of the Teremakau, a newly laid rail was passed, causing the car to press ra-her heavily on the opposite old rail, which was ragged and had a deep crack in it, into which one of the forewheel's ran in such a way as to make the car leave the track. The sudden jerk caused the driver and two passengers sitting beside him to be pitched headlong into the mud close by, but fortunately without receiving serious injury. The driver stuck to the rails, while one of the passengers ran to the horse's head, just in time to prevent further mischief, and had the embankment been a high one, nothing could have prevented a complete capsize. This would have been very awkward foi the only inside passenger, who was on his way to the hospital with a bad leg. Aftei about two hours hard work the driver and passengers succeeded in replacing the car on the line.
