At last night’s meeting of the Grey Hospital Board the medical officers (Drs Bird . and Elennett) reported : This afternoon (June 12) a mental patient in Victoria Ward, broke loose fioni the Ward and plunged into the Lagoon. From here he was rescued, apparently with some difficulty, by two of the nursing staff, namely, Sister Becker and Nurse O’Connor. Me would he pleased if you would convey this to the Board, as we feei that such a plucky act should not pass without being placed on record.” The Chairman moved that the action of the two nurses be placed oh record aiid a letter of appreciation selit to them. Me said the patient had cleared out and they had had their work cut out to capture him, and also to step him from committing suicide. The motion was unanimously carried.

Advice lias been received of the death on Wednesday tat- Cromwell, utao-o, of Mr George Steele. Deceased was a native of England and about 45 years of age. He came to New Zealand in 1910 and resided at Kokatahi, being in the eiiiploy of Messrs Cooper and Webster when they carried on the store at Kokatahi. He was a member cf the Kokatahi band and a very popular figure in the district. He left with the 19th. Reinforcements, and sirce his return has suffered from the effects of his war service. He had married a second time, his first wife being -Miss Minnie Duncan of South Hokitika. Deceased leaves a widow. The .funeral took' place to-day.

At Addington stock sales on Wednesday says the “Press”, there was a further advance in prices for store sheep, fat lambs, and fat sheep which has materially altered the outlook of vendors. The confidence in the ruling values is more general than for a long iperiod. Fat sheep sold firmly with an advance in the latter stages of up to Is a head. Fat lambs sold very keenly with an advance of Is to Is 6d a .head. The entry of store sheep was larger than normal •and the interest was better than for many weeks. All good types of ewes and lambs advanced Is to 2s a head. The heaviest entry of fat cattle for a very long time showed a surprisingly slight easing, inferior grades being the principal sufferers.

A meeting of creditors of Mrs M. Turner was held yesterday afternoon, ther© being some twenty represented. '.Mir A. E. Benjamin was voted to the chair. Messrs A. It. Elco?ek and M. Houston who were acting as attorneys for Mrs Turner laid before the meeting a statement of the financial posi- ' tion, which had been circulated to tiro creditors. It was also stated that Mr J. L. TrAner had been employed to carry on the business pending an arrangement being made with the creditors. A claim for moneys advanced was put in by Mr J. L. Turner, totalling £lo4o. As this had not been included in the statement supplied, it was considered advisable to defer consideration of the action to be taken, and ultimately an adjournment was made for ia fortnight. Mr Turner war; invited to consider the making of an offer for the effects and stock of shop. It was resolved that the action taken in arranging fer the carrying on of tiie buf ’H ss meantime be approved and that same be continued until the next meeii creditors to be notified of the present position. The meeting then terminated.
