Of course, the Magistrate graciously acquiesces in the request for another adjournment and the case is allowed to stand over. Perhaps by the end of the year the Magistrate's patience may evaporate and the absconding witnesses caught, but all this procrastination and trumped-up excuses--for we fear they are seldom little better-have simply wast the time of the Court, Red, consequently, of the community, and preyed upon the indulgence of a complacent bench. At the present moment it is a known fact that the register of the principal Magistrate is crowd ed with sunimons cases, extradition cases, (Containing" Soap, Perfume, Powder and and matters of the most pettifogging kind

Again I have not much to chronicle with re- gard to the ponies and the past week's work, which has been chiefly of the slow but sure, description. Ca or two ponies are already beginning to show form and are miles in ad vance of the remainder.. The two most taking gallops on Saturday last were done by Messrs.
