residences was considered in the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday. Judgment was reserved.

A resolution was carried—'' That the conference agrees to accept the proposal of the Dunedin Corporation in regard to the water supply, provided an agreement is entered into that when high suburbs require water supply they shall be permitted to get it from Ross Creek, or be supplied by the Dunedin Corporation at a fair rate." The Mayor of Dunedin expressed himself dissatisfied with this decision, and left the room. The vital statistics of Dunedin for the last quarter were—Birth, 464; deaths, t 15 9; marriages, 94.
