- Deserting his Children.
- Hugh Birkett appeared to answer a charge of deserting his children under the age of three years, and leaving the same without any means of support.
- The complainant said the summons was correct, the defendant having left his two children without any means of support. The defendant often got drunk and beat her.
- Mr. Scott commented in severe terms upon the heartless and cruel conduct of the defendant, remarking that it is a pity that the new law in England, which punished wife beaters with flogging, could not be adopted in the colony. The case was postponed till Wednesday for the attendance of a second magistrate.
- Prisoner : I wish it was gone on with to-day.
- Mr. Scott : The case can't be gone on with to-day without breaking the law, and I don't intend to break the law for you or anybody else. Several other cases were called on and postponed to different dates for want of a second magistrate.
