Grimsby Coal Exports.—The exports of coal from Grimsby during the week ended Friday were only moderate, owing to the intervention of the holidays. The shipments, as shown by the official returns, were:—Ahns, 1,416 tons; Antwerp, 430; Christiania, 3,085; Dieppe, 873; Gothenburg, 2,190; Halmstadt, 204; Hamburg, 3,626; Horsens, 586; Larvik, 631; Malmo, 1,600; Reval, 2,964; Rotterdam, 513; and Trondhjem, 1,337; total, 19,454 tons to foreign destinations, in addition to 97 tons coastwise to London. . Cruelty to Pit Ponies.—The question of corporal punish- ment being meted out to persons convicted of cruelty to pit ponies came before the Notts Quarter Sessions last week. The chairman (Sir L. Rolles ton) read the following letter which was addressed on December 21 to the Clerk of the Peace by the clerk to the magistrates of the Nottingham Petty Sessional Division:—“ Several cases have lately been < before the Nottingham Bench of gross cruelty to pit ponies, and to-day, at a special meeting of the Justices of the Nottingham Bench, the question of whipping boys guilty of gross cruelty to pit ponies was discussed, and it was agreed * that a recommendation should be sent to the Quarter Sessions asking the court to consider the matter and as to sending a resolution to the Home Secretary with a view ofr statutory power being obtained to whip in oases of the above description.” Sir Lancelot said that since the matter was discussed by the county magistrates he had made enquiries as to the custom of Quarter Sessions, and he found that it was very desirable that before an important resolution of that character was sent forward it should be placed upon the agenda of other Quarter Sessions in the county, in order that the magistrates should have every opportunity of considering it. He therefore proposed that the letter be received and placed upon the agenda, in order that it might be considered at the next Quarter Sessions. The resolution was then carried. Movement in the matter received its first impetus from the action of the county magistrates on December 14, when a brutal case of cruelty at the Gedling pit came before the Bench at the Shire Hall, and the magistrates then decided that representation should be made to the Home Office. On that occasion also, the magistrates agreed that notification should be sent to the Clerk of the Peace of the county, suggesting that that body should send a resolution to the Home Office asking for whipping powers.
