In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning his Worship gave his decision in the charge of malicious injury bo property, -brought by the police against Mr Fv. P. Giffard, of Waitangi He said that there were two questions a h i ss ,ie—first, whether a bond fide question of title was involved ; and secondly, whether, if this was the case, the matter was still within the jurisdiction of the Court. He decided that the defendant had acted in a bond fide manner, believing that he possessed a title. With regard to the second point, though 'Mr Wilson had aigued to the contrary, he considered that the law was clearly laid down on this subject. He therefore dismi*sed the case, as beyond his jurisdiction —Mr Lee, on behalf of Mr GiiFard, applied for costs, which his Worship declined to grant. Owing to the inclemency of the wea ther, the usual weekly parade of the Napier, Rifle Volunteers and the openair, concert of the Artillery Band, announced for last evening, did not take place, The current number of the Illustrated New Zealand Herald contains, among other interesting pictures, a splendid double page engiaving of the " Cerberus " Many of the illustrations in the paper referred to are equal to those of any English illustrated paper.
