The Westport Times says: Mrs Simms, who has assisted Judge Martin in furnishing the colony with its greatest society scandal, was, prior to her marriage a nurse in the Christchurch Hospital.

The Dunedin Star states that the liquidators of the Colonial Bank hoped to have paid a final dividend in December last, but owing to the closing of the liquidation of the J. G.
