(Before Capt. Preece, R.M.)

...A HOTEL CASE.
Martin MORRISSEY charged, on the information of Constable SIDDELLS, with refusing to leave the Crown Hotel, Norsewood, pleaded not guilty. —Charles HIGGINS, being sworn, deposed that he was the proprietor of the Crown Hotel, Norsewood. On Jan. 16th closed his house at 10 o'clock. About 5 minutes to 11, the. front door not being locked, defendant came into the passage, and refused to go till served with drink. With some trouble he was persuaded to go after a short time. Defendant, who was not sober, then banged on the door; would be sorry to see the case pressed, as he had considerable respect for defendant, and did not think he would do such a thing when sober. BAIRD deposed that he was with MORRISSEY on the night of Jan. 16. Saw a light in the bar-parlor of the Crown Hotel. MORRISSEY went in and askes for drink ; HIGGIND caught defendant by the shoulder, and asked what he was doing there; afterwards ordered him to leave. Defendant did not do so immediately. It was nearer 12 o'clock than eleven.— The case was adjourned to March 12th to enable witnesses to be called.

Mr Martin MORISSEY may consider himself a fortunate man in having got off so lightly for the little escapade in which he figured at Norsewood a few nights ago, and of which a report appears elsewhere. It is not often that a fine of a pound or two is considered by the Bench to be a quid pro quo for misbehaviour such as MORISSEY was found guilty of. Considering that he got drunk, battered in a man's door, forced his way into a girl's bedroom, poured brandy down her throat, and generally raised a row all round, we think he had his fun very cheaply indeed. The worthy R.M. could not have had a trace of biliousness in his system on Thursday, or he would have surely come down more heavily on the hero of the midnight raid on Mr PETTERSON's premises. However, it may be as well for the young bloods of gay and festive Norsewood not to be encouraged to emulate the deeds of valour performed by the redoubtable Martin, when "under the influence," as they may not come off so well. Perhaps the remembrance that "Christmas is coming" had something to do with the lenient view Mr TURNBULL took of the case, and if so, we are not inclined to be too hard upon the offender. But for the sake of the credit of Norsewood we hope no further outrage of the sort will occur again. If it does we feel pretty sure the R.M. will make an "awful example " of the culprit.

The Adventures of Martin MORISSEY.
As told to R.M. TURNBULL at Ormondville.
Two Norsewood Chappies Seek Salvation (Lasses)
But Get into the Wrong Shop.

At the Ormondville R.M. Court on Thursday, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., Martin MORISSEY and O. HEGH were charged on the information of the police with, trespassing in Johan PETTERSONS's [sic] house on the morning of Sunday, the 15th clay of Nov. at 1 a.m., and remaining there to 3 a.m. They were further charged with breaking the door and doing other damage to property belonging to Johan PETTERSON. O. HEGH pleaded not guilty. Martin MORISSEY was absent.

The first witness called was Johan PETTERSON, who deposed, that he was a blacksmith living at Norsewood. Remembered Sunday the 15th of Nov. Was in bed at 1 a.m. when he heard an awful noise at the door. He thought that it was some friend and opened the door. Saw the two defendants, and they pushed against the door. He (witness) ran ahead of them and closed the kitchen door, but they forced their way in again. MORISSEY asked for the Salvation lasses who were stopping in the house. He asked witness to light the lamp, which was refused, and MORISSEY lighted it, and in so doing broke the globe of the lamp, and threatened to burn the house down. MORISSEY went to Miss LAUVIG's [sic] bedroom and forced some brandy down her throat. Miss LAUVIG afterwards got away and went upstairs. HEGH simply stood by. He was not nearly so drunk as MORISSEY. After a little while they were persuaded to go out, and the door was locked. Believed both the defendants picked up a piece of scantling and used it as a battering ram, and burst open the front door. The damage would be about £1.

By His Worship: The defendants did not go away when ordered.

By HEGH: Could not say whether you had hold of the scantling; only judged so from the size.

By the police :HEGH came in after the front door was broken open. Was afraid of MORRISSEY as he had a .lemonade bottle in his hand, and at another time had a carving fork, and kept sticking it into the wall.

Annie LAUVIG [sic] deposed that she resided at Mr PETTERSON's, Norsewood. Remembered Sunday morning. Martin MORISSEY was her brother-in-law. Was asleep when they came first, but the disturbance awoke, her, and she dressed and oame down into the kitchen. Saw Martin MORRISSEY. He was abusing Mr PETTERSON. Was not present when the door was broken in. Asked HEGH to take Martin home. HEGH was not so drunk as MORRISSEY.

Mrs PETTERSON being sworn, gave her evidence through the interpreter, Mr LARVIG [sic], as follows : Was the wife of Johan PETTERSON. Remembered Sunday morning, and saw both the defendants in the kitchen. Martin seemed angry with her husband, but she did not know what was said as they spoke in English. Martin went upstairs alone, and she followed him, and persuaded him to come down. Heard HEGH ask Martin to come home. Both of them came in again after the door was broken.

O. HEGH sworn, deposed that Martin MORISSEY wished to go into PETTERSON's and he tried to stop him. Martin had a flask of whisky, and a flask of brandy. Martin went to the door, and he (witness) went with him, using his best endeavors to get him home. Martin wanted PETTERSON to light a candle, and on his refusing lighted it himself. Martin wanted MissLAUVIG [sic] to drink some brandy and went into her bedroom. Martin was at last got outside and Mr PETTERSON let him out at the front door. Found Martin at the door with a rail going to use it against the door. Put his hand on the rail to stop him. Martin broke open the door and went inside, witness going with him. Left Martin feeding and hung his coat on the broken door and went home.

By the Police: MORISSEY was not a big man. Was a bit of a boxer and athlete himself, and was supposed to be very strong. Was not going to use his hands against MORISSEY. Did all he could to persuade him to be quiet.

Mr PETTERSON, recalled, said that HEGH's evidence was correct in every particular as far as he knew. His Worship said that in consequence of what Mr PETTERSON had said he would dismiss the charge against HEGH but with regard to MORISSEY he would fine him £1 and cost £1 5s or 14 days in Napier Gaol on the first charge and £2 and costs 9s damage £1 or one month in Napier Gaol on the second charge. Sentences to run concurrently.

ORMONDVILLE R. M. COURT.
Wednesday, Feb. 8.
(Before A. TURNBULL, Esq., R.M.)

A sitting of the R.M. Court took place at Ormondville on Wednesday, before A. TURNBULL, Esq., R.M. The first case called was one in which the police preferred two charges against Martin MORISSEY, H. SORENSEN, and a young fellow named C. HANSEN. They were charged, firstly, with being illegally on premises in Norsewood, and, secondly, with using abusive language anri disturbing one Mrs LAURVIG. The charge against C. HANSEN was withdrawn. Martin MORISSEY pleaded guilty to the charge of being upon the premises, but stated that the place belonged to his father-in-law, and he had gone there to see him about some grass-seed cutting, taking his two companions with him. H. SORENSEN pleaded not guilty, stating that he never went inside the premises, but only stood at the gate.— E. A. LAURVIG deposed that he was a sawmill hand residing at Norsewood. Owned the cottage on the new school road. MORISSEY was married to his daughter, and had a sort of free right to go about the premises. — Mrs LAURVIG, sworn, deposed that she was the wife of the last witness. On Feb. 5th, between the hours of 3 and 5 in the morning, the three young men before mentioned came on the premises, knocked at the door and windows, and asked to be let in. They used bad language. After a while they went away, whereupon she lit the candle and dressed the boy. Then they came back, knocked again, and then they went to the back of the house and asked for bread and butter and salt. About 5 a.m. they went away arm in arm. They had bottles in their pockets,— By SORENSEN: Recognised you by a grey suit of clothes you had on. The child referred to was questioned, and corroborated his mother's evidence.—Peter STARKIE, sworn, deposed that he lived at Norsewood, within 30 chains of LAUVIG's [sic] cottage. On the morning of Sunday, 5th Feb., the three defendants came to his place, made a row, and wanted to come in.— Constable SIDDELLS, sworn, deposed that he had enquired into the case. SORENSEN had admitted the offence, but MORRISSEY had denied it. — H. SORENSEN, upon oath, deposed that on the morning referred to they left the hotel to go to HAGUES'. Had some beer on the road. MORISSEY said he had some business with LAURVIG, and they went there. Fell asleep at LAURVIG's gate. His companions aroused him, and he eventually got to bed by a quarter to four in the morning.— ln summing up His Worship, on the first charge, bound both defendants over to come up for judgment when called upon. On the other SORENSEN was fined £1 and costs 6s 6d,.in default seven days' imprisonment ; M. MORRISSY £3, and costs 6s 6d, in default 21 days' imprisonment. MORRISSY asked for a fortnight in which to find the money, which was granted.

Thurs 08 May 1890

A serious accident occured at Norsewood last Tuesday. Mr & Mrs MILLER and Miss LARVIG were driving down the German Line in a buggy when the horse took fright and bolted and capsized the buggy, throwing the occupants down the embankment of the steep cutting close to Mr FINSCH's section. Mr HYDE was sent for and on examing them found that Mr MILLER and Miss LARVIG were seriously hurt and their removal to hospital was imperative. Mrs MILLER's injuries were not quite so serious, but will necessitate her keeping in bed for some time to come. The other two went by train to Waipukurau.
