LAW AND POLICE. „♦„ , ' POLICE COURT.— Saturday. [Before H. G. Seth Smith, Esq., K.M.] Larceny from the Person. — Frederick Ellis and William Small were charged with committing larceny from the perßon of Henry Cuthbert, and stealing 18s from him. It seemed that the alleged . offence had been committed between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday night, and the arrest about two hoars after. Remanded for a week, to January 14. Destitute Person. — Robert Holdrnm was oharged with being the nearest relative of Ellen Holdrum (an inmate of the Auckland Refuge), and being able to contribute to her maintenance for 34 weeks (from February 5 to September 30, 1886), under the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, to the amount of £12 158. Mr. Theo. Cooper prosecuted, and stated that the case was brought by the Board under the Aot of 1885. Ellen Holdrnm, who was very deaf, and had to use a speaking trumpet, stated that the defendant was her son, and was nnable to pay for her maintenance at the Refuge, as he robbed his family to do so. She had received rations from the Charitable Aid Board, but would not take any more from the Relieving Officer. At this stage Mr. Cooper declined to examine tho witness farther, as he considered she was in collusion with the defendant.—John Graham, Relieving Officer, deposed that the first witness had received a ration per day from the Charitable Aid Board, since February 6, 1886, at a cost of Is 9d per week, and had received firewrfod also from the Board, to the value of Is per week. She had come from Opotiki, and was quite destitute there. Applioation had been made to the Bay of Plenty Board, but they had refused to recognise the olaim. The defendant had a large timber oontraot, and was understood to be in a position to contribute. Henry N. Garland, Secretary to the Charitable Aid Board, was oalled, and proved his authority to lay the oomplaint. The de* fendant deposed that he was a carpenter at Gisborne, and had been out of work for some time, and in addition had to support a family of eight children, He had paid his fare up to Auckland to answer to the case. There was no collusion between him and his mother, as they did not agree together. In cross-examination defendant stated that he obtained a contract for £10,000 to erect a bridge over the Wairoa River, Hawke's Bay, but it was unfortunate for him, and the mortgagee had thrown the contraot back. If he had known that the olaim was only £4 13s 6d, instead of £12 15s as set out in the complaint, he should not hove come all the way from Gisborne. A doubt arising as to the jurisdiction of the Court under the form in which the information was laid, the proseoution withdrew the charge, and decided to take fresh proceedings under the Charitable Aid Board Aot for the amount due, and also under the Resident Magistrate's A.ot for the future support of the old woman.
