The Rev. Sir. Smith wrote drawing attention to stock being allowed to roam tho roads. On account of the King's death, all hockey matches for to-day have been postponed". This information only readied local clubs yesterday, and the dilatorinesa of (lie association is being criticised. Mr. Satherley, who has been off duty as constable for Otaki for several months on account of illness, is likely ;o resume duty at an early date. During his absence Constable S'naw. of Wellington, lias looked well after the town. There is now n probability, however, of an assistant constable being appointed here, it being geuerally agreed that the district is far too largo for one man to supervise.
