The Auckland cricketing committee has not yet met to consider the Australian cricketers proposals, but no doubt will not entertainjfor a moment the terms offered.

The acting Resident Magistrate to-day ordered a storekeeper to pay an amount sued for in ten days or go to gaol for six weeks, believing he was resisting payment from mere obstinacy.
