XIM.AKU— BATUBDA.Y, d DNS 13TH. (Before O. A. Wray Esq , B M.) DISOHDEBIY HOUSE. Thomas Bichmond, fishmonger, George street, was charged with allowing on tho 26th ultimo persons of notoriously bad chnractor to moat together and romain in his shop. Mr Raymond appeared for accusod and pleaded not guilty. The information alleged that on tho dato mentioned two porsons of bad character, George Maslin and Carrie Hopa were on the promises. Sergeant-Major Mason in opening the case however, mentioned several others, whereupon Mr Baymond objected that evidence ought not to be given respecting any other persons than those named in tho information. He was prepared to meet the charge with regard to the two porsons named, but not with regard to others of whom ho had never heard. His Worship thought it would only be fair to give the defendant notice of all tbat be was to bo charged with. Sergeant-Major Mußon believed that it was not necessary to burden the information with the whole of the facts to be alleged. CChe two persona named had been selected as a '• sample." Mr Raymond suid tho caso as to these two could be easily disposed of, as they were both in defendant's employment, on tho data given. After a diacuscion His Worship decided to adjourn the case till Friday next, to allow of a full Hot of tho persons alleged to be of bad character, and allowed to "meet and remain" on the promises, being set forth in the information.
