Inddstbial Schools Act. — Bernard Hand, a young man, was brought up under the Industrial Schools Act, for deserting from the employment at which he had been placed by the master of the Kobimaramfc School.

Walsh, storeman, was charged with assaulting Timothy Hayes (Mount Eden) by catching hold of him on January 22. Mr, Theo. Cooper appeared for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. It seemed that the defendant, who was a storeman in Mr. R. Arthur's auction mart, had to caution someone for meddling with some wheat, and Hayes interfered. A wordy war ensued, and, acting under orderti from his employer, the defendant caught hold of Hayea by the clothes and put him out of the mark into the right-of-way off Darby street, where another struggle took place. A constable was brought on the scene, but he did not consider it necessary to interfere, except to advise Hayes to go no further in the matter. Dismissed, each party to pay their own costs.
