Witness declined to take any, and ordered Wolfe to leave Sergeant Grifilth stated that he had received from Wolfe a written acknowledgment of his guilt, accompanied with a request that the Court would deal leniently with him. Other evidence having been given by Constable Flanagan, who said he had suspected Wolfe of carrying liquor to Makin and had warned him, His Worship, who said he was not altogether satisfied that thp defendant had taken the liquor to the house with the object of offering it to Makin, though that was the inference, imposed a fine of £3 with costs; in default three weeks’ imprisonment.
