RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

This Day. (Before M. Price, Esq., R.M.) Police against Dick (on remand) — This was a case in which the accused stood charged with threatening to shoot Wm. Hubble. Captain Thomson deposed that on the 13th inst., at about noon, he was in a garden behind his house. Dick spoke to him, and asked him had he seen Hubble. Witness siid he had not seen him for two or three days. Dick had a rifle in his hand. He looked very excited. Witness tried to induce Dick to give up the rifle. Dick pushed post him. Why 'he asked Dick to give up the gun was, because Dick mentioned tho name of Hubble, and witness knew there had been a difference between them. Witness did not ask Dick where he was going- He refused to give the rifle up. Witness was apprehensive that mischief would happen. Dick did not appear sober. A. Donnelly deposed to seeing accused with a gwn on his shoulder. Dick said ho was going to take a long shot. He was greatly excited. Constable Shannon deposed to goin?; after Dick. Dick said he was going to shoot Hubble. He took the gun from him. It was loaded with a bullet. The accused looked as if he had been on the j " burst." Mr. Turton, in defence, said the accused had undergone much mental nffliction. This had led him to drink too much. At the time he held the rifle in his hand he was suffering from extreme depression — iv short, suffering a recovery. Mr. Hubble deposed he was the person referred to in the information. On the morning of the 13th he was riding out, and saw Mr Dick. Did not know whether Dick saw him. Had seen Dick several times since he (witness) returned from Gisborne. They had bid each other good day. Witness was not at all approbensive that Dick would do him any harm. Nothing had passed between Dick and witness which would lead him (witness) to believe that the accused would do him any harm.. His Worship bound the accused over in sureties to keep the peace, himself in £100 and two sureties of £50 each.
