Fnemployment, it was pointed out, was gradually increasing on the Coast, and itn equitable adjustment of the tariff j on such lines as could he recommended [ by the Forestry Department would in- : spire confidence in the future of the i industry, and hugely prevent further J dismissals of mill employees. | T'e Magistrate's Court returns for : the Dominion show that the total mint- ■ i 'i of eases dealt with during the quarter ending June 30th, was its under, j the number against women being given 1 in parentheses: Arrests 4(130 (273), summonses 8219 (417), convictions recorded in respect of arrests 3813 (241), and summonses (1119 (33(1 ‘i.

Referring to the farewell to Mr Jus- ! tice Herd man at Christchurch on Fri- | day, the Lyttelton Times sttvs Christi church has been the .home of, Mr Herdman’s apprenticeship as a Judge, and , it is fair to say, and a pleasure to sav, I that he has carried out his important ’ and difficult duties in a manner hi"-' • j ' creditable to himself and satisfactory j ' to litigants and the public. We but 1 i echo public opinion in saying that we ( i very much regret that Mr Justice ■ Ilerdmait is leaving Christchurch; where he lias been an esteemed citizen no less than an honoured Judge. We trust that the changed scene of action to which he is going will ho congeni" —-and we recognise that he has a preference for the North Island—hut we j also hope that some time in the future . he may again take up residence here and again preside over the Supreme Court in the Canterbury and Westland districts.

Kitchingham appeared for the Audit Department, and .Mr J. W. Hannan for the defendant, who pleaded guilty. Mr Kitrhingham said that after being elected a Councillor, Ryan received £B3 for labour and for the use ot a horse, and dray. The Municipal Corporations Act allowed Councillors to receive not more than to in one contract, or £lO in anv one year. The Act provided that it was the'duty of ti e Audit Department to institute proeeedings in eases of the kind. Mr Hannan said that before the election Rvan was doing carting for the Council, and in * entire ignorance of the Act continued carting alter his election. The 'ignorance was shared by the Councillors. Rvan was not a carter by trade, but had done the work to oblige the Council, which when it engaged catting from Grey mouth, had been compelled to pay twice as much as Ryan got.
