HBH 1890 August 5 Court plus A youth named William NELSON was yesterday charged with imposing a worthless coin on a boy named Henry HUSFIELD. Husfield is a vendor of hot pies, and Nelson told some other boys that he would impose a brass token upon him as a shilling. This he did at night, obtaining in exchange three pies and a sixpence change. After hearing the evidence Mr H.S. WARDELL R.M., reprimanded NELSON and dismissed him. The total number of entries received for the Napier Poultry and Canary Association's show amounts to nearly 250 pens, and over 500 birds will be on exhibition. A large number of entries have been received from Mr F ROGEN and Co., of the Zealandia Poultry Farm. Karori, Wellington, and other exhibits from Wellington, Auckland, and several other places will be shown with nearly all of the classes filled well and there will consequently be keen competition for most of the prizes. A woman named Ellen AIKMAN was charged with using obscene language and sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment by the Napier bench on the 24th of July last. The punishment was deferred on the production by accused's solicitor of a medical certificate that she was within a fortnight of her confinement. There has been no record of this event, and the woman was recently called upon to come up for sentence, but failed to appear. A warrant was issued for her arrest, and it was found she had gone to HAWERA, whence she was brought to undergo her sentence on Saturday last.
