Does I'm using "s" correctly here ?

Friends, in this sentence I'm not sure I'd put "s" with the word come or not. Pls check and tell

Sentence: "These cases rarely comes in the cognizance of commoners"

No, it should be 'come'. 'These cases' is plural, and the verb goes I come, you come, he/she/it comes, you (plural) come, they (plural) come. If you substitute the pronoun for the phrase 'these cases', all becomes clear: 'They rarely come .
