1.6.1861 I think these people paid to have their name in the paper on a regular basis! RATH in court, Police Court 30/5/61 Rath v Mills, Mills v Rath and Same v Same. Young for Rath. Zincke for Mills Mills older of a claim through which a track or roadway passes to 3 Mile. Rath was a farmer and for years had been in habit of using this road. Last Monday Mills thought proper to tear up slabs forming a bridge in part of this roadway and asRath was passing in to B/worth he and Mills had high words and Mills was alleged to have struck Rath's horse with a pick. The evidence for the defence was a direct contradiction of the evidence for the complainant (isn't this normal?). Rath and his son swore Mills was drunk. Mills and two Chinamen said he was sober. Same with nearly every circumstance alleged to have taken place. One alleged that the other had called very ugly names while the person charged exclaimed 'he wouldn't do so'. Bench obviously got sick of the whole deal, dismissed the case and made each party pay his own costs. -
