Eight Lads Before Magistrate G. H. Hunter--They Were Bound Over to Keep the Peace, On Thursday, a clique of the male 'portion of the rising generation at Portsmouth appeared béiore Justice of the Peace and their parents were bound over to keep 'the peace for some time, for their "antics" performed in Lake Un tario Vark last Sunday atternoop. Eight lads, from the Bay, filed into the court room, some appearing brave, while one was. weeping. John Malli- day, Hon e Woods, and Wilidm Watts, . about hifteen or sixteen years ol Ne were charged, by thei} Kingston, lortsmouth and Cataraqui Electric Railway company, with shame fully abusing apimais. Mr. McMillan, who is associated with W. F. Nickle, h.C., conducted the prosecution, while D. A. Givens sppeared for the boys. H.C. Bresett and Wiliam Montroy, of the Field Detective Agency, of Mdnt- real, who - gave evidence, "wove the web," which brought the clique before the court. When the charge was read, all three [headed 'not guilty." George Woods was the first tried, and his and the evidence of John Hal liday and William Watts, who, with him, on Sunday, was taken, the same fevidence being used, in turn, for all three. 'They told Mr. McMillan, and, when cross-examined, Mr. Givens, of their treatment of the donkevs in. the perk last Sunday, and of meeting the two detectives there, They testified to riding the donkey, tied to a rope, with the exception of William Watts; all urging it on with switches. The dé- tedtives, Messrs Bresett and Montray, swore that the boys used large branches, and punched the donkey, making it "buck:" They said that the boys, as well, used the animal dis gracefully with a hoard. Lorry Mclieein, John MeGerin, snd three others' of their chums appeared on the charge of damaging property at the park. It was proved that Lorry MeGeékin had eut Lis initials on a table in the park last Sunday, gr late in the week, and Joho MeGeein, when called, acknowledged doing the. same. One of their chums, Charles Wickham, appeared as a wit- pess for the prosecution. The break: of the bénch by ithe other was dis missed. Hugh €. Nickle, superinten- dent. of the railway, also gave evi- dence. There was quite a scene before the county magistrate passed judgwent. Magistrate Hunter od that the rail way company did not wish to jail the boys, three of the eight suspended sen- tenoes were hanging over. This clique, na doubt, are maliciously destruc' tive, and the only thing he saw was to send them to jail for thirty days, and save them from the penigentiary |P in the future. The park had been damaged to the extent of £100 lately, and the language uged by this gang in the park at nights was enough to make any man revolt. "The only thing 1 see I can do is to send them all to jail, but I'll grant Mr. Givens and the guardians of the three Ids who ilbtreated the donkey, time to get their heads to- gether to try to agree on a middle course," Messrs, Watts, Halliday and Woods, guardians, and the boys, were bound ovey for $50 gach, and the boys are not to enter the park unless ac- companied by their parents. All are to help bear the costs of the court. IL -- ST. PAUL'S PARISH PIC-NIC io ' Held at Staley's Grove on Wednes- day Afternoon.
