A most unusual gcene was witnes- sed at the session of the police court on Thursday morning, when fcur women and two men--all of middie age and some over, stood be- fore . Magistrate Farrell, charged with stealing coal from the Cana- dian National Rallway Company. All the women are married. "Mrs. you are charged with stealing coal from the railway com- pany," said the magistrate to each one charged and in each case a plea of "guilty" was recorded. After the plea in each case had been given, Magistrate Farrell had the four women and the two men lin- ed up in front of the bench and gave them a heart-to-heart talk, after which he allowed them to go on sus- pended sentence. "It was stealing to take this coal from the railway tracks,' remarked the magistrate. "To take what does not belong to you is stealing. The coal was not on a public highway, but on private property of the rall- way. The railway company purchas- ed this coal to operate their rail- way and it is stealing for a person to go and take it away. - It is a serl- ous matter. And apart from the stealing of the coal, there is the danger of people being Injured while walking the tracks. As a re- sult of your going on the tracks for coal, the company might have been faced with an action for damages. Magistrate Farrell stated that he would allow the accused to go on suspended senterice, providing each one contributed to the cosis of the court. The railway company has been re- celving many complaints about peo- ple walking on the tracks at the outer station and picking up coal. Acting with a special constable for the company, on Tuesday night, Po- lice Constable Thomas Mullinger visited the homes of the accused and found coal that had been taken from the rallway tracks. Two bas- kets and two pails filled with coal taken from the railway company, were produced in court. The much-talked-about assault case, in which it was alleged that mop was used as a weapon, was fin- ally disposed of on Thursday morn- ing, when it was dismissed by the magistrate, after additional evidence «¥| had been taken. The case present- ed quite a tangle and the magistrate remarked that in view of contradic- tory evidence he had to do the best he could to untangle the skein.
