ACTION UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT. Frederick James, of Newport-street, was summoned for neglecting to contribute towards the support of his son, James James, now detained in the Industrial school at Winchester. The child had been sent to the Industrial School by order of the magistrates, and defendant ordered to pay 1s. per week towards his maintenance. This he had neglected to do till the arrears due amounted to 12s. Superintendent Burt said he had given defendant time, but he had not made good his payments. Defendant pleaded that he had been out of work, and when in work he only earned 5s. per week, his eyes being so weak. The Mayor said that a man who wasted all his substance in drink deserved no compassion from that Bench and would get none. Defendant said he could pay in a fortnight if the Bench would give him that much time. The Mayor. — Very well; we will give you that, and you may be perfectly sure that if you do not pay you will be sent to Winchester gaol.

SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENT.
Edwin William Caws, said to have been a school master, but lately employed to clean boots at the Ryde College, was charged with having feloniously broken into the Railway Tavern, Monkton-street.……The prisoner made a very long and rambling statement and acknowledged that having been turned out of his lodgings he had to walk about the streets all night, but denied that he had been to the Railway Tavern. The Mayor said that in consequence of the prisoner having been convicted of a charge of felony in January, 1879, that Court could not deal with him. He would be therefore committed to take his trial at the Assizes. … When William appeared at the Assizes at Winchester he was given a sentence of one year's imprisonment.
