On arriving at the lock-up he noticed that she h.d a wound on her throat, and another on her hand. William Puddy said prisoner had been lodging
with him, and for some time had been drinking to excess. On one occasion, when he refused to supply her with liquor, she attempted to cut her throat, and in doing so. alao wounded her hand. Bis Worship remanded her for medical examin-ition. Horse Stealing. — Leeson Powell, on remind, was brought up for payment of the fine imposed upon him for this offence. His Worship said he had received a cheque for £20 from the Rev J. W. stack, together with a memorandum ot a lease for prisoner to sign. He could not, however, be party to such a transaction, as he could not say whether it was a fair one.

Prisoner promised to return as stipulated, and wa3 accordingly set at liberty. I
