INTERPROVINCIAL

CiiuisTCHUKcii, November 17.

A liriu named Alrred Nye, it is believed fioui th s country, di.;d in the hospital last night. He was picked up by the police drunk, in Christchiircb, tm Friday night, and complained of being unable to use his legs on Saturday.

At the police Court to-day, Madame Lottie Wilmot was mulcted altogether, criminally and civilly in £10 11s for thrashing the Secretary of the Papanui Town Hall company with a supplejack.

It is pretty nearly certain that tomorrow's voting by Chri tchureh ratepayers will be against the proposition to spend twenty thousand pounds in a waterworks scheme.

A conespondent telegraphing to-day says that the greater number, some 374, of White Cliff, Urenui, Waitara, and Ngalimarii prisoners were removed from Piirihaka this morning under escort. They will march to the second stream past Okato to-day and go on to New Plymouth to-morrow. The guard that brought them from Parihaka to Pungarehu was a very slender one, (18 men.) and it seems very odd that they shoulci all inarch alon;? as they did without any effort to escape. From here they will have a stronger escort, as the mounted rifles from here will join the armed Constabulary, who are with them. Many of the Natives greeted us as they passed on the road, as we were personally known to a number of them. They mostly appeared to take matters very composedly and did not look in the least sulky or out of temper, one or two of the women were crying however. The prisoners are still being made, the numbers taken up to 11 o'clock to-day lifting 56 m3n, 15 women, and 10 children. The whole of the Volunteers are expected to leave the district by Tuesday next. Trc. Whiti and Toiiu.—After a lengthy trial the prisoners, Tβ Whiti and Toiiu, have been sentenced to imprisonment in the New Plymouth gaol during" the Queen's pleasure.
