The Ruv. J. C. Lindsay proved the offence, and said the horses were going at a furious rate. The witness was driving to Llaavaches, and defendant's horse was swerving from one side of the road to the other, the carriage came into contact with it, thus injuring it sligtttly. They refused to give their names. Defendants pleaded guilty, but one of them said he offered to beg Mr. Lindsay's pardon. The Bench inflicted a fine of 10s. and costs upon each. ASSAULTING A POLICE UFFICER.-Thomas J limes was charged with having assaulted P.C. Hopkins while in the execution of his duty on the 20th of December last at Magor. William Hopkins said On December 20.h I was called into the Wheatsheaf, at Magor, to put out the defendant, I asked bim three times to go out. lie said he would not. I then ut him cut, and whilst the door was being opened he struck me. He was the worse for drink. He afterwards s'.ruck me twice on the road. He said "You -rook you tiieu to strangle me—it's only a catch case." By defendant: I did not catch you by the throat, nor take y 1\1 by the handkerchief. I did not receive any injury. Thomas Thoiuus corroborated the officer's evidence. The Bench said that the case had been fu ly born out by evidence, and it was their duty to protect officers while in the exercise of their duty. Fined 20s. and costs— £ 2 3s. 61., or twenty-one days' imprisonment. ASSAULTING THE POLICE. — William Bimett was oharged with being drunk a) d disorderly at Christchurch on the 30th of December, and with assaulting P.C. Rfes. He was very disorderly, and on being ordered home bv the officer, lie became abusive and pushed his fist in bis face. He was dismissed on payment of costs. CHRISTMAS AMUSEMENTS.—Isaac Williams and Charles Travers were charged, with three others, who did not appear, with riotously fighting and hreakirg the peace, on Christmas day, at Risca. PC.

Dismissed on payment of costs, 7s. 61. TRESPASSING IN PURSUIT OF GAME. William M organ Reece was charged with trespassing in pursuit of game in the preserves of the Rev. Augustus Morgan, at Machen, on the 22nd ult. Defendant pleaded guilty. Isaac Matthews, servant to Reece, was also charged with the like offence. The Rev. Agustus Morgan said that Matthews was deserving of the leniency of the Bench, inasmuch as he had acted under the directiou of his master. He had two elderly parents, his father was nearly blind, and he would not have committed the offence had he not acted under the direction of his master. He was also further charged with a like offence on the 24th December. In this case Mr. Morgan said that the lad's master had ac- cused him of robbing the lad of the gun, and using vio- lence, but this he denied. Mr. Morgan then detailed the circumstances of the case, from which it appeared he had been to examine some houses in the neighbourhood, when he caught the defendant with the gun. He asked the Bench to forgive him, as he was an industrious lad, and be hoped they would allow him to return—not as a convicted poacher—to his parents, and thus prevent the disgrace aad misery which must ensue if convicted. If the Bench would grant him this favour he would be ex- tremely obliged. The Bench, to defendant: After the strong recommendation and good feeling exhibited to- wards you by the gentleman who has spoken on your behalf we will discharge you, and we hope it will have a good effect upon your mind, and teach you to conduct yourself in a proper manner. Y^u have to thank Mr. Morgan for the manner in which he has expressed him- self, and we hope you will become an altered man, and not do wrong at the suggestion of any one. The gun was then produced, and Mr. Morgan told the defendant he would give him 30s., the price he paid for it, an keep it, telling him at the same time that he had no de- sire to injure him. Defendant was then discharged. Mr. Charles Lvne then said he wished to address a few remarks to the Bench in reference to the defendant Reece. He said, as agent to -Mi. Herbert, of Llanarth (on whose property the offences were committed), he need not tell them of the difficulty of protecting the land at a distance. There had been a considerable amount of trespass from time to time. The Rev. Augustus Mor- had the exclusive right of shooting and preserving game on the property. Proper notices had been put up in reference thereto. He believed a great deal of the in- juries done to the woods had been done through the in- strumentality of Ree:e. His reason for obtruding these remarks was to ask the Bench to deal rigorously with Reece. He said nothing about Matthews- although he thought he ought not to be let off—as Mr. Morgan had kindly asked him to be dismissed, but he would ask them I to deal rigorously with Reece. The defendant replied that he never was on that pro |erty before. Mr. Gratrex told defendant that Mr. Mor- gan had the exclusive right of shooting over those lands, { and defendant must bo aware that in such a case he (defendant) had nc right to shoot rabbits even on his r own lands. It was very grievous to see a respectable a man brought up for thus annoying his neighbours and j bringing another person into trouble which might have been his ruin. Tie (.Mr. Grairex) thought if a man once j took to poaching, and could not take game, he »nu, take Something else, and it led to idleness drm^kennes^ t and no man calling hiniseif respectable i-hou,d b„ gi.ilt} Of such a thin^. Ti<e Bench- would inflict the highest penally the law permitted, and be hoped that it would be a warning to him. Fined 40s. and cos-,s.— £ 2 8s. -)1- ] ANOTHER TRESPASS.— J.s-ph Lepscombe was charged ] with being on the lands of William I homos, Mnchen, in search of conies on the 24th of December.
