Mr Nat. BEAMISH met with a nasty accident last Friday at Whana while fencing. The handle of the straining gear slipped off the strainer, and the tightness of the wire caused the handle to fly round with such force as to cut Mr BEAMISH's upper lip almost through, and to knock several of his teeth out besides loosening several others. Four women, two of them standing to each other in the relation of mother and daughter, were yesterday fined varying amounts for being inmates of brothels. Their names were Annie MACKAY, Jane MACKAY, Nellis COLLINS, and Sarah ROWE. The first-named, as the keeper of a brothel was fined £5 and costs, her daughter was fined £2 and costs, and the other two were each fined £3 and costs. We referred a day or two ago to two boys, one eight years old and the other seven years, buying a shillings' worth of beer and getting insensibly drunk with it. Yesterday, the younger of these boys, Albert GRAY, was brought up at the R.M. Court, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., charged with stealing a bridle and a silver watch. His Worship postponed the hearing of the case till this morning, that the father of the boy might be present to give his son's exact age. At the R.M. Court yesterday, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., David MURRAY, who pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness, was dismissed with a caution. W.L. WHITE was fined 2s 6d and costs for obstructing a pathway by leaving a packing-case upon it. In a case in which Alfred LEWIS was charged with failing to comply with an order to pay for the maintenance of his son in the Burnham Industrial School, it was decided to hold over the information for a month to allow of defendant paying up arrears. James ROWE was ordered to pay 2s 6d a week for the support of his daughtger, ten years of age, in Burnham school. Defendant was not to blame in the matter, as his wife, who is living at a brothel, recently took the girl to reside with her. Geoge NEALE was fined 5s and costs for failing to register a dog, and ordered to pay the registration fee.
