The Grovmouth Trotting Club meeting is taking place at Victoria Park and will be continued on Monday. The Public Trustee inserts a notice in this issue in reference to the estates of the late Patrick John Walsh of Mataiimi, and the late Mrs E. Partridge, of Hokitika. A maku shark, weighing 477 Tb. was caught recently by Mr Otto Sommer, a visitor to the deep-sea anglers’ camp, at Russell. The shark was the largest caught this season. Mr Sommer was ’fishing from the launch Otehei, it being his first day out. The shark broached several times, and two and a-half hours were occupied in landing it. The death occurred at Westport on New Year’s Eve of Mrs Kissell, wife of Mr William Kissell. She- was visiting friends, and suddenly dropped dead. The late Mrs Kissell was horn in Nelson and had resided in Westport for 49 years. She leaves a husband and three sons, and seven grandchildren; also five sisters, Mrs Bevan (Westport), Airs Gemmell (Nelson), Misses Scott (2), and another sister in Wanganui, and one brother, Mr G. Scott of Wellington. An inquest was held yesterday, a verdict of heart failure being returned. Tlie Magistrate of New Plymouth, in his efforts to teach intoxicated motorists the error of their ways, has announced his determination to give every convicted delinquent “a kind of deferred imprisonment,” that is, to place the offenders on probation. His experience (says the “New Zealand Herald”) appears to justify the drastic and general imposition of this sentence, no matter what else may he suffered by way of penalty. Tt will be remembered that some other Magistrates, having found the exaction of a fine ineffective, have sent, certain offenders to gaol. For regarding the offence ns serious there is ample warranty and motorists generally, as part of the needing to be protected from the driver muddled or elated with liquor, will approve this view.
