The sensational bolt whioh occurred las' week resulted in Mr P. Malone being | c'Harged at the Polios Court yesterday with havi'i?** left vehicle unatiended. Ser described the bolt and the miraouio'ns esopo of a little child. Mr Malone bad suffered enough already and the ease was brought mainly as a warning to people to bo moic oarefu'i in attending to their horses. Mr Malone, who pleaded not gnilty, said he was on the ground holding the reins when the animals got away from him. Sergeant MaoKenzio said he would not argne whether that was sufficient attention, believing® that the bringing of the case before the Court j would serve the purpose as a warning to ; others. The information wii3 then withdrawn. | Political feeling is running atrong in I Auckland just now. Neither of the local J Opposition candidates has eclipsed tbe

following, written by a prominent Auckland merchant to a business man in Gisborne : “ We are up to our necks eleo tioneering, trying to defeat the accursed Southern government, Old Dick is here

too, trying to help his lap dop-j,. hot he might as well have stayed at horn 1 -, ae Par-, Allison, Massey, Kirkbrid*, He ries, Lang, Mender, Bollard are all absolute certainties, whilo Mo-s, Haiding, Farrell, Bamford, McLean, Bagnal 1 , and Wake have each a very fair chance. I fancy the Opposition will also gain a few seats in the South, and that if the thieves do manage to return with a majority it will be a very small i one, probably 14 to 86, or thereabouts. In any ease tile Opposition

will be strong enough to check the thieving to a certain extent.” *

Sho was sentenced to five weeks’ imprisonment in Napier gaol, Captain Tucker remarking they were sorry they had no other way of ; helping her than by sending her to gaol, ’ with a hope that after duo reflection she ' would be taken in hand by someone in ; Napier when she came out of gaol, and I would obtain work and continue in 1 service.
