A new mode of raising money to meet the necessary and daily expenditure in the Tichbourne defence, originating with Mr George Chapman, late of New York, has come before the public. The chief features, ns originally proposed, were to have an historical picture, portraying the trial scene in Court, including judges, lawyers, jury, and defendant, painted by some eminent artist, to be disposed of by lottery, after the principle of the art anion ; that each subscriber should he entitled to an engraved copy of the work, with a chance of becoming the owner of the original picture, 'ibis plan, however, has been modified, in consequence of the law bearing on lotteries not permitting the idea to be carried out in that form. The same scheme has now been introduced under the Limited Liability Act. The capital is 20,000/., in one shilling shares. A gentleman in Taranaki, Mr Hirst, has invented and constructed a new spring trap cart, which he affirms is lighter to draw, and much easier and safer to ride in, than the ones in general use. The Wanganui Herald descril'es the cart in question as made up of a multiplicity of springs, straps, brakes, and slides, enough to puzzle the beholder at first sight what the machine is intended for. The principal feature in.it is a contrivance by means of a lever, whereby the body of the conveyance can be moved blckwaida or forwards to equalise the weight on the horse going up or down hill. The inventor has promised to astonish the natives on his next trip down the coast by down on a one-wheeled trap. A traveller who saw Mr Hirst’s trap at Hawera, cubed it as the Guar ascoqtis, across between a threshing machine, patent hack-delivery reaping machine, sliding guntgr anchor, and a balloon. , .
