At the S.M. Court, MaEterton this morning, before Mr W. P. James, W. L. Downes was charged on two informations, the first that he did ride a bicycle on the footpath of Queon-etreet, on the night of Saturday, the 27th inst.; and the second that on the night in question he did use the said bicycle without a light. Mr B. J. Dolan, who appeared for the defence.took apreliminary objection to the form of the information in that the Bylaw under which the information was laid was not specified. The objection was up-held, the S.M. stating that the heariDg could be adjourned, but counsel consented to go on with the case, pleading guilty on the first charge, On the second charge evidence was given in support of the information by Constables Learmouth and Heffernan. On cross-exami-nation, the Constables admitted that they had not taxed Mr Downes with the second offence on the night in question, and that no one was inconvenienced by bis riding on the footpath. Mr Downes, on being called, swore that his lamp was alighi until he got to Pinhey's stables, but that he put it out there, and that it was out on hie return journey from the stables when ho met the Constables, on their charging him with the first offence. His Worship fined the defendant Gs and costs on the first offence, to which he pleaded guilty! and dismissed the second information, saying that he would give defendant the benefit of the doubt.
