HIS FIRST OFFENCE. Jacob Horrocks, manufacturer, Clayton-


le-Moors, was prosecuted for being- drunk in charge of a horse and trap in Accrington road, Whalley, at 9-50 p.m., on the 16th ulto. P.S. Chiney stated that he and P.C.


Abraham were walking up Sandy brow, when a trap, driven by defendant, passed them. T'here was another man in tlie ve­ hicle. He noticed that defendant, who was driving, sat very unsteady, and on getting out of the trap, witness could see that he was very drunk. He staggered about, and was not fit to be in charge. On reaching the Police S at’on, defendant ask- chI to .see a doctor, and Dr. Macklin was sent for. He told defendant that he was into.xicated. Defendant admitted the offence. , Supeilntendenl Palmer sakl it was de-


I'endant’s first offence. A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed, or


.seven days. "GIGU’E GREASE.”


Harry Douglas, carter, Clitheroe, and his employer, Wm. Strickland, were


charged with cruelly to a horse. P.S. Chuiey stated that at 10-20 a.m., on


the 2 lib ult-i he was on duty in Clitheroe company with P.C


ro.ad, Chatburn, in . .


.sitoiie. They noticed that the chain horse walked very lame on the off


P.S. Chiney deposed that at 4-15 p.m.,


on the 8th lust, he was walking along Mytlon toad when he saw Loynd watching from behind a hedge opposite the asylum site. On seeing witness he laid down. Op- ixjsite to the place where Loynd was con­ cealed, Turner was placing the fire range on a handcart at the back of the stables. He afterwards wheeled the cart into the highway, where witness and P.C. McManus took him into custody. Turxer said the range had been given him by a man. named WiTiams. Loynd wa.. tipprelicnded in


Clitheroe the evening of the same day. When charged together, prisoners did not make any reply. Loynd said he told Turner, who said he


would go and see about the fire range, that he would have to go himself. He “begged and prayed” of him to accompany Kim towards Mytton, but he refused, and he told him that if he took the range he would have to bear the consequences. Turner said he was “in drinlP’ on the day


in que.stion, but he would not have removed the range until he had got perml.ssioii to do .so. He did not see Loynd again until tliey were charged together. He expre.ssed the hope that tltey would deal with the case there, as, whenever he had been charged, it had always lieen through “nasty drink.” If they would give him another clrance he would turn over a new leaf and become teetotal. He would plead guilty to the charge, in order to give the Court as I'ttle trouble as pds.sihle. They were committed for trial at Pre.ston


Ses.siians.


COLNE’S HINT TO CLITHEROE. From the neighljoiiiing town of Colne


comes a hint which many Clithcroe men and women would do well to take advantage of. Mr. John Thomas Famhill, whose ad­


dress is 5, Union Street, Colne, and who is l50th well-known and respected in Colne, .savs: “It was alxmv two years ago that I developed kidney troulvlo. Tiiis was the result of a previous illness from imciimonia. 1 had pains across ’.he small of my back, and I had a .struggle to keep to my work I felt very bad in the mornings when I got up. and 1 could have done with a great more rest. “i went to a doctor who advised me to
