Gardner (captain.) Funny ways country publicans have to adopt to " move on " intoxicated perrons. In Court on Tuesday it was deposed that one man was put out of the front door and he then laid down, becoming anything but a thing of joy, and the publican's entreaties to him to vanish were unheeded until the happy thought inspired him to suggest to his emp ! oyee to try what a bucket of water thrown over the recumbent one would do. No sooner said, not acted upon, than the drunk rose rapidly and shifted. This idea has not been patented, so the trade has it at their disposal. The House of Representatives again devoted the sitting on Tuesday to the continuation of the debate on the Financial Statement. A witness in the Court case on Tuesday was asked whether he had not seized a man's legs and pulled him off a table upon which he was sitting ? This the witness ■ denied, asserting that, he only held the man's legs and then the man followed him ! . As the Bench remarked this was only another way of explaining the same fact. * Contractors are reminded that tenders close to-night at 7 o'clock for the works required by the Borough Council.

It will be seen in onr report of the meeting of the Manawatu County. .Council .yefe 1 te.-day that the chairman ana Messrs J. G. Wilsonftnid j; Slovens, M.'s H.R., as well as Mr Donald Eraser have been appointed a deputation to the Government abont the tramway. This is excellent, and the deputation will have much influence, showing, as it does, the non-political character of the agitation. On Saturday Messrs Abraham and Wil» Hams hold a horse sale at Palmerston, and on Wednesday they hold a stock sale at Awahnri. The memorials to the Minister of Public Works for an order to be passed by the Governor-in Council to consent to th<? construction of the Levin-Greatford Kail way has been extensively signed both in Bulls; Sanson and Campbelhown-, and in fact everyone has been most ready td sign it-. The amount payable by W; & £<jwe for his evening's •* div&fsUra h at Shannon totalled Up to close on £1?. The fines imposed by the Bench, however, were very light, some £5, and Howe was primarily answerable for the costs, as the ease was ; adjourned from last Thursday to Tuesday athl«solieitor'i request on purpose to obtain ft witness at Porifua, who, however; was never c&'led. Witnesses claimed fbr the two day's attendance Great regret has been felt throughout the Bangitikei district at the death of Mr C. W. Maclean, the popular secretary of the Bangitikei Bacing Club, which occurred at Bulls on Wednesday morning, at the early age of 36 years. The deceased had been suffering for the laat 6 or 6 weeks from valvular disease of the heart* and though it was hoped he Would rally; he gradually got weaker until the tend. 'He had made himself popular With evfer'ybile, and took a ftteßk interest In athletic and racing matters. His funeral, which is fixed for Friday next, will be carried out with Masonic honours, he being the first Mason initiated in Bulls, and had held different offices in the Lodge up to the time of bis death. He wa3 un« married. A case of extraordinary cruelty to a Chl'd at Ormondvllle is reported. A girl of ISJ was tied to a bed post naked and flogged with a lash Until bldod flew all around. She escapedi and infot'niefl the police, hei! ttimfliUori bearing out her statement, and proceedings have been taken against her assailant, who is either her father or guardian. This is how the N.Z. Time* reports our representative's speech in the Financial Debate :- -Mr Wilson did hot agree that the financial debate Was Waste (tff time. He could hot Compliment the Treasurer on the Budget -in fact he thought he ought to condole with him. It abounded in misstatements, and in his opinion the outlook was not a pleasant one. Mrs Dean, was executed at the Inver* cargill Gaol at 8 o'clock on Monday morn' ing. She walked firmly to the scaffold, and said, in answer to the sheriff—" I have nothing to say except that I am innocent." It is stated ihat Mrs Dean left a written statement, which will be forwarded to the Governmpnt, placing a different aspect on the case from that inferred from the trial. There is a rumour, says the Post, to the effect that Government is considering the appointment of Sir Patrick Buckley to the vacant Judgeship. The following gentlemen consented to act as judges for the Manawatu A. and P. Associaiion :— G. H. Ouaningh'.m, farming and dairy produce ; A. McKenzie, Lincoln sheep; W. H. Taggart and G. Hunter, thoroughbred horses ; A. Fitchett, Ayrshire cattle.
