    POLICE COURT.


    Wednesday. 9th May.


    John Freeman and John Tanner pleaded guilty to the - charge of drunkenness and were each fined 6*.

    Thomas Buttle, nightman, was charged with removing night-soil between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, whereby he incurred a penalty of £5 under the 49th section of the Police Act, and further with casting night-soil into the River Torrens, whereby he incurred a penalty not exceeding £5, under sec. 28 of the Police Act. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Christopher Balderstone, water-carrier, stated that, on going to the river between 6 and 7 o'clock that morning. he perceived the prisoner before him. He had a box cart with two casks in it. He emptied what appeared to witness to be night soil from one of the casks into the water at the very spot where the water carts ate filled. As the stuff had a most horrible smell, he (witness) told the prisoner be had no business to throw it there; upon that he became very abusive, called witness bad names, and wanted to have a round or two with him. Witness declined the invitation to fight, but said he would report the matter to the police. The prisoner then emptied the second cask into the river; it, like the first one, was about half full of night-soil. Witness went directly to the station-house, and afterwards accompanied the police to the river side, and saw the prisoner taken into custody. The prisoner said it would do him (witness) no good. The spot referred to was a little to the left of the ruins of the City Bridge. By the prisoner— I saw a broom in your hands when I returned with the police. Constable Kempston deposed to the apprehension of the prisoner at the spot described by the last witness. The water appeared as if night soil had been thrown into it, and the bank appeared as if night-soil had been swept off it with a broom into the water. The prisoner said be was merely washing his casks. The prisoner in his defense denied that he actually emptied night soil into the water, but admitted that be washed the casks he used in bis filthy occupation and emptied them into the river, lie declared be was not aware that be violated the law. His Worship—I fined you for an offence a short time ago, and as I consider this case proved, even by your own admission, I shall fine you £5 ; and in default of payment you will be committed for one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. The Inspector of Nuisances said he had another charge against the same person, for emptying night-soil on West- terrace. The City Commissioners had taken stone up in several places, and the prisoner had filled up the holes with nightsoil, so as to render the passage of the place both dirty and dangerous. In reply to his Worship the Inspector said be would communicate with the City Commissioners before he laid an information.

    Christopher Balderstone, (aged 36), and Robert Palphry (aged 26) were indicted on the charge of having stolen, on October 5th inst. 7 pigs, value 35 shillings, the property of Mr. Kersey, of Wickham Skeith. – It appeared in evidence that the pigs were missed on the above day, and the next morning Mr. Grimwood, of Westhorp saw the prisoner Palphry with the pigs in a cart near the house, and having some suspicion that all what not right, detained Palphry; but on Balderstone’s afterwards coming up, and saying he had bought the pigs at Diss market, he let them go, with donkey, cart and pigs. Two were afterwards found in the sty, or pound of John Adams, brother-in-law of Palphry, who said he bought them of the prisoner, for 11 shillings; the other five were found in Palphry’s possession, at Elmwell, 12 miles from Wickham Skeith. They were both (after about an hour’s consultation of the Jury) found guilty; but sentence was not passed.
