At the Magistracy yesterday, before Mr. Hazeland, D. J. McKenzie, an inspector of nicos in the employ of the Sunitary Depart meat, was charged, at the instance of Mirz Ali, coachman of the Hon. J. J. Keswick, with "unlawfully, wantenly, and cruelly ill-eing ahorse." and further with using "abscono and insulting words towards the complainant where by a breach of the peace might have been occa

The complainant, said that at about half-past six on Monday morning he was riding a horse belonging to Mr. Keswick along Queen's Rond East, and when near Skip Streat he saw the lefondant walking towards him. At this point of the roul there were rickshaws on each sido. When the defendant was a few paces from him ho stared at him and began to abuse him, saying, You black what for don't you Witness was on the left hand go on one side?" side of the road at the time. Both he and the defendant stopped, witness replying, "What for you open your mouth like that, there are rick shaws on both sides of the road.". Upon this the defondant began to abuse him and stavek the home nuce with a stick, causing it to our back a few paces. Witness then rode aml forward and said, "Don't you know whe be longa this horse? This belong. Mr. Keswick's horse, and he gave me order to bring him out." Witness subsequently reported the matter to au Indian constable and took out a summons.

In answer to the defendant, the complainant said the horse, which was a quiet one, was go ing straight and was not half across the read The rickshaws on his left wore standing. Ho was not quite in the centre of the road. He did not want to go too near the rickshaws or else the horse would have roared.

Then the harve is not so very quiet after all It is not very quiet. He was not aware that sere rickshaws passed him on the left side of. the road, and that others had to go on to the wrong side because they could not pass on account of him. The defendant was walking
