WELLINGTON.
February 1. The steamer, Northumberland sailed for London at 6 o'clock this momiusj. She takes a cargo valued at £122,000. The crew of the steamer Go-Ahead struck this morning, demanding tbe eight hours system while in port and overtime. It is thought no difficulty will be experienced in shipping a crew of non-Unionists. At the Magistrate's Court this morning, Messrs Hutchison and Harding, J.P.s, attended in accordance with a mandamus from the Supreme Court to give judgment in tbe case of the Customs v. Martin, a publican, who was convicted for having several unstamped boxes of cigars in his possession. The bench inflicted the full penalty of £100 without costs, but recommended the fines to be mitigated to the minimum. The proprietors of the White Swan and Panama Hotels were fined £2 each at the R.M. Court to-day far Sunday trading. The magistrate remarked that if the mitigated penalties now being inflicted did not put a stop to the Sunday traffic the fine would be increased.
