IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. (Before the Hon. Justice SNOWDEN.)
25th March, 1879.
There were very few cases of interest on today's list, although the Court was for some time engaged on Chinese sults.
Koss v. Gutierrez, $20.-This was a claim for alothes supplied to the defendant, and the debt having been proved, judgment was entered for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with costs. Detendant did not appear.

The cases at the Police Court to-day were principally summonses for nuda ances of ovory description, men sum moned for obstruction, for having filthy dwellings, keeping pigs, hawking without a license, packing goods in the street, and so forth; and the Colonial Treasury was enriched thereby. The criminal statistica wore mild.
