At. the Supremo Court on Saturday when dealing with an appeal from the decision of the Warden, the point was ' raised of the status of the Mining Registrar. (Mr W. M. XVill). From tho argument that followed it was elicited that when Mr Xalder was transferred to Gisborne, his office became vacant as from the day lie left. When Mr AYill came to take up the duties he was appointed by tho Warden as Acting Mining Registrar, hut his official appointment by Government had not followed ait once and it wan not till April that he received a notification of appointment ns Acting Mining Registrar. The Court held tint, as at December Ist there was no Alining Registrar aonointed, thoro could he no one acting for the Alining Registrar, and that therefore, the action taken in the case in question was not valid. The appeal against the decision of the Warden in granting the suit for cacellatfion of a timber area at Hokitika Gorg” made by the Acting Registrar, was therefore upheld.

A horse in a. spring cart owned by Mr Sherriff of Blue Spur standing in froilt of Messrs Laughton Bros simp hecbining startled by some mentis boiled down Weld Street. Two lads were in the vehicle at the time. The horse swerved into Tnncred Street close against Blank and Beremlt’s shop and travelled up the footpath passing between a telephone post and the building. Passing Mr A. fc. Benjamin’s residence the trap struck the corrugated iron fence and crumpled up half a dozen sheets like paper. Then portion of the cart struck a gate post leading into the Sviiogogue and the harness broke and the horse freed itself. tmt was cam'lit a hundred yards away uninjured. The two lads in the cart came out when the cart struck the post, one being thrown against the fence and the other into the road, hut they miraculously escaped injure' beyond some very slight abrasions. The eart wn; damaged and the axle bent, while the fence suffered considerably. It was lucky indeed that the two lads escaped so easily. The impact with the fence made a great noise and these were soon a large number of onlookers gathered.
