CUSTOMS DUTIES.
The following was the amount of Customs Duties collected at the port of Greymouth for the week ending 21st December, 1901: —
The Wanganui Herald understands that a syndicate has been formed in town for the running of motor oars throughout the district.
An elderly man named Dudley Eyre, charged at Wellington wth the thieft of £2B at Wanganui so far back as 1887, was remanded to Wanganui. We regret to learn of an accident—the exact nature of which we are as yet unacquainted—to Mr Adam Glair. All that is at present known is that he is severely crashed, and is being brought to town by special train. The passing of the riding contest for members of the Eighth Contingent took place this afternoon. The number allowed to this district is 10, but three times that number have applied. The result of the scholarship examinations has resulted in Reefttn young lady securing the Tinline scholarship, which entitles the holder to three years at Nelson College. She secured 616 marks, the highest in the district.
Messrs Calvert, Williams, Truscott, Howarth, Ormandy and Oliver, arrived from Christchurch to-day in order to compete at the Swimming Sports on Christmas afternoon. The visitors are all in good form, and had a most enjoyable ride overland. Everything now points to the sports being a huge success, and the public will receive good value for their money.
A Napier member of the Seventh Contingent, writing from Newcastle, under date October 13th, says:—“We have been chasing Botha for a month, and three days ago we met him, and mighty sorry we were afterwards, for he gave us a most awful hiding, Young Pointon gotthree bullets in one leg, but is now on the way to recovery, and will be all right in a month or two.” A witness at the Supreme Court, at Auckland, said in evidence that in Waini it was not considered to be stealing to take firewood that was another man’s property but it was considered be “jumped.” The smile that appeared on the faces of the witnesses from Waibi, sitting in Court testified in a degree to the truth of the statement.
