At the Magistrate's Court Greynuuith yesterday, George Henry Webster, taxi driver, pleaded not guilty to charge that on March (I, 1924, at Kokiri being a person driving along the Stillwatcr-Moana. lload he did fail to stop such motor ear before coming into contact with the railway line at the crossing. Mr Kitchingham stated that the dr rgo was laid under the Endways Act, and was the first prosecution that had been taken for some time with regard to motors crossing the lines. 'l'lio Department had determined to prosecute offenders against regulations made in the interests of public safety. There were many glaring exanvpes of the effects of breaches such as defendant's. He rode over the crossing at Kokiri without nulling up when the express was approaching, and narrowly missed a serious accident. Defendant was fined 10s and costs.

An outbreak of tire occurred yesterday morning in a small detached shop on Taimn Street, at the corner of Lombard Street, occupied by Miss A. A. Johnston, music dealer. Although the shop is situated near the centre of the town, there were, of course. Very few people about at that time, and some delay took place before the alarm was given. The Brigade arrived promptly, but it was tit once seen that the building was doomed. The fit! ines bad plenty of material to act upon, and had secured such a strong bold that nothing was saved. The detached | osition of the shop prevented tlu; flumes from spreading to the adjacent bouses. The building, which wa.s owned by Misses Crowley, was insured in the South British Office for £75. Miss Jcliustou’s piano was insured for £SO and her stock for £SO, also in the South F.'itish Office. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
