A NOISY NEWPORT SHOW. At the Newport Police-court on Monday- before Messrs T. P. Wansbrough, H. A. Huzzey, and J. Moses, magistrates-Mr A. A. Newman, town clerk, appeared to prosecute Wm. Davies and Mary Ann Johnson for using a yard in Clarence-place for public music and other public entertainments, without a licence. The Town Clerk explained that the defendants were the owners of some travelling shows, and had tem- porarily taken the yard, which belongs to Messrs Davies, Loudon Wharf, each having a steam organ in connection with the show, and the playing of this organ was a great nuisance to the residents of Clarence-place, and frequent com- plaints had been received by the police. Inspector Winmill said that he cautioned the men against playing the organs when the shows were going into the yard. The organs were driven by steam, and could be heard a considerable distance away. When the Sea on Land," the organs, and steam, hammer for testing strength were all going together there was a perfect din, and conversation in the region could not be carried on. The music, the officer considered,, was an essential portion of the entertainment, and but for the organs the shows would not attract one-tenth as many people. Mr Charles Williams, who resides in Clarence-place, also gave evidence. Witness had heard the organ two miles off from Clarence-place. On Saturday week the organs started at three o'clock and kept on until after half-past eleven. The same tune was played for two hours. "You are a musical man," said the Bench to Mr Williams, who is a well-knowi. amateur. "Yes," said witness, "but I should like a change of tune if I might have thechoice." —Mrs Johnson, a widow, stated that she had received no complaint from the police, or she would have left towm.-Davies states that his tenancy had expired, and his vans were at the railway station awaiting removal.—The Bench fined defendant Davies 20s and costs, and Mrs Johnson 5s. Davies then like the proverbial Englishman, grumbled, but paid. The Bench were of opinion that the owners of the yard ought also to have been proceeded with, and the Town Clerk said that they were equally liable.
