Mr W. I>. Lysnar appeared for the defence, and asked for an adjournment on the ground that a necessary witness was absent at Waerenga-o kuri. Sergeant Sidtiells raised no oojection, and at his request the evidence of two wit

nesses was taken in the case. After hearing the evidence of Cornelius O'Connell and Walter Toomey, briekmaker, I\l r Lysnar urged that practically no evidence had been brought forward io make him continue his request for an adjournment to prepare a defence. Defendant was not disorderly, and a licensee must show that a man was disorderly before he did so order him out. A publican had no right to order a man out unless he were dis-

orderly, and counsel ought not to be called on for a defence. His Worship said that be did not think there was sufficient evidence of disorderly behaviour to justify

him in calling for a defence. The evidence was very slender as to disorderly behavior. In reply to an application by Mr Lysuar, His Worship refused to allow costs.

The .Editor Times : .Sir, —1 notice lliul, iu his address Mr Whinray carefully avoids any reference to Waihirere opposition. I would like to vote lor him, hut cannot conscientiously d$ so if such vote is to assist in preventing the town obtaining the only water supply available. Am i. to understand that his silence means he has recanted, and that he will work to carry out the will of the people so strongly expressed at the poll ? A word, now, to mj friend Mr James East, for whom it is my present intention to east a vole,—what is the meaning of the sentence “ economy in road metalV That is the one thing in which there is no room for economy, if t lie Borough is to make headway.—l am, etc., East End.

the work on the lines laid down by Mr Mestayer. This would be a fair test, and

I would do it at my owu cost.” Such public spiritedness is worthy of the warmest commendation. Mr Webb we ail know to be practical man, aud ir.s sug-

nation siiould be welcome to those for and tiy;iinsc Waihirere.

His Worship said parents should see that their children were in at an earlier hour. Sergeant Siddells stated the circumstances, Abbott was on horse back and was riding over several others. That was the cause of the trouble. His Worship said such larrikinism could not be permitted. If there were more cases of the kind he would inflict a heavier penalty.

Another special meeting of the council will probably be iu-ld in order, if possible, to settle the question and avoid litigation.
