Alderman Ricketts discharged William Novalomy, of Ashley, Pennsly vania, who admitted spanking his wife because she was extravagant. His wife had Kovalous arrested, and he did not hesitate to admit that he had beaten her. •‘lt is this way, your Honor,” he explained; “I gave her a sum of money every month on which to run the house. When, a couple of days ago, I found that she had used considerable of this money for another purpose I got angry and spanked her with my razor strop.” As Mrs Xovalous appeared none the worse for the spanking the alderman discharged the man. The Magistrate heard evidence in the case of James R. Johnston (Mr Coleman) v. 0. B. Hnbble. a claim for £4 8s for hoard and lodging. The case ; was adjourned to Waipiro Bay.
