| CHARGE OF NEGLECTING CHILDREN.-Yesterday Thomas Raisbeck was brought before the bench, charged with neglecting his children. No witnesses had it appeared come down from Black Creek on this day, but the evidence of a witness, Peter Burr, was read, which had been given on a previous day, when Mr Raisbeck had failed to appear on summons ; the evidence was to the effect that both Mr. Raisbeck and his wife drank to such excess that their three young children were frequently left naked and neglected, the neighbours being obliged to look after them at times ; on the 26th June one of the children, a boy of thirteen months old, was left in the yard, naked, from half-past seven in the morning till one o'clock in the day. Mr. Raisbeck denied the truth of this statement. The bench discharged him with a caution, that if anything happened to either of the children, from his neglect or that of their mother, the law would hold them responsible.
