Mr. Healy said that as far as business was concerned they might get a rifle range in Irish Street. A fine of 6d was imposed. Mrs. Maglenon, of the Church Street Hotel, was summoned for having an inside car and an outside car in Irish Street without a horse attached thereto. Mr. Weir defended.

To Mr. Weir -- Sir Andrew Reid, in his book, had laid it down that constables should not be meddlesome or over zealous. Was aware of that. Witness got directions from the head-constable to prosecute. The head-constable stated defendant got word before summons was brought to take cars away. The chairman said he also got notice about his own business premises, and acceded at once to the request of police. Captain L'Estrange said he thought these cases should not have been brought forward. Mr. Perry -- It's only persecution, and should not have been brought at all. Mr. Healy -- Never! Mr. Perry -- Have lived beside Mrs. Maglennon for thirty years, and never heard of anyone obstructed by her cars.

Robert said he would like a vote of the magistrates on his case. The Chairman -- It has already been decided. A number of other cases of obstruction followed, all of which were dismissed.

At the conclusion of case, Head-Constable Montgomery, who was but short time in town, speaking to Mr. Cleland sotto voce, said in reference to the cases of obstruction that he was only doing his duty in carrying out an Act of Parliament. Captain L'Estrange, addressing the Head-Constable, said he would carry out the orders of his officer and of the magistrates. The Head-Constable continued to speak, when Captain L'Estrange told him he did not come there to bandy words with him. The Head-Constable replied he was not bandying words and made some further remarks, when Captain L'Estrange ordered him, in a peremptory manner, to be silent.
