QMQ but "Thank you," said Arthur Charette, fAfter the Magistrate had sentenced him to six months‘ imprisonment after he had pléaded guilty to a charge of assault causing bodily harm. He had something to Be thankful for, to, as It might have been a much more severs penalty,: for immediately after .the assault there was a chance that the . injuries sustained by Mrs. Charette might even. have proved fatal. Fortunâ€" ately for the accusisd,, however â€" his wife made a good recovery before the case came before the court. Mrs. Charettesaid that she had protested against her husband coming home drunk and bringing drunken men with him. She was lying on the chesterficld at the time and he walked over and kicked her in the face. He broke her front teeth and also marked her face and neck. In his own behalf the ac« cused said he was very sorry for what he had done, and pléeaded for a chancs to start afresh on better course of life. He blamed his trouble on booze, and offered to swear off drinking and . so on. Crown Attorney Caldbick said that it did not seem to be a case where any leniency should be shown #s the assault was a most brutal one. The accused had a. record dating back several ‘years, and a‘so had been charged before with assault on his wile, though the charges had not gone to trial. He had also been in court for failine to provide for his family, and an order had been issued requiring him to contribute to the support of his wife and family. The magistrate concluded the case by imposing the sizâ€"months term. Thomas Hart and Domenico Pierini were jointly charged with conducting a ~ommon gaming house. Sergt. Wil« liam Thompson and Constable Lafleur tola of noticing a crowd â€"gathereG around the counter of Hart‘s restaurant on Wilson avenue. When they entered the place the crowd scattéred. On in« vestigation aâ€"small slot machine was found behind the counter and this seemed to be what the crowd had been interested in. Sergt, Thompson had seen Hart throw something under the counter and this little slot machine seemed to be "it". Police had in« formation suggesting that the machine belonged to Pigrini, and so he was jointly charged with Hart. There was some interest in the machine in court as it was only about seven inches square and yet was supposed â€"1fo vend gum and candy. Further interest deâ€" veloped when Hart attempted to open the machine with the key he nad could not get the box to oper. In the witness box Hart said that he LDad bought the machine from Pierini, and that he owned it outright. The magisâ€" trate considered that the chargse against Pierini was not sustained as Hart claimed ownership and there was nothing to dispute this. Hart was fined $100 and costs. The machine was conâ€" fiscoted, together with the $5.67 it contained. | A young fellow around the age of sixteen, who was charged with °the | theft of a guitar, was given a chance, |thanks largely to the good word said for him by Inspector Bearock, who voluntéered the information that. the lad had not been giving any trouble lately.
