" Where the carcase is there will the eagles ba gathered" or some quotation very like it, wan illustrated ou Thursday when the lcoal Magistrate's Court was visited by the following solicitors, viz., Mesrrs Eay, Hurley, Moore, Hawkins, Innes, Fitzherbert, Riohmond, Wallace and Crump. The Rev. George Aitkens and Mr James Andrews called at the Chess Club's buildings early in the week and made a couple of tables for the use of the members. A good example i 3 worth all precepts. A solicitor cornering a witness to prove what the witness was worth, referring to a certain contract, said " Now what did you make out of that," when the witness took the Court by storm by replying " I made nothiug, I lost money on that contct." Mr Fred Pirani, a member of the Education Board, paid a visit to the town on Thursday and authorised Mr Thynne to obtain the rails and posts needed to repair the school fence. He also promised to endeavour to hasten the visit of the Board's carpenter. Mr Nye informs us that hi 3 grapes are i now finished. He has had a busy and we hope a profitable season. Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock Bale at Palmerston ou Thursday. Mr Stansell has tomatoes in bloom and ripe fruit even now in his garden attached to his hotel. The Bale of flaxmill requisites by Mr J. It. McMillan was very satisfactory on Thursday afternoon. From our Court report it will be noticed that what promised to be a long and weary case Perreau v. Anderson collapsed, both parties agreeing to be nonsuited. Barney Barnato, the millionaire, is stated to have been but a few short years ago a memoer of a circus ! Is that where he learnt to run " rings " round his brother busfriesß men ? All good people go to our sister town, Palmerston North— and leave it — so that it will surprise no one to learn that Mr George Snelson distinctly remembers Mr Barnato performing in that city in a circus. All nominations for the Otaki Maori Baoing Club's meeting on the 25 ih May close with the Secretary at Otaki to night (Saturday), at 9 p.m. . The football team to do battle with the Feilding Olub left by this morning's train. Before the Magistrate's Court opened on Thursday a litigant was asked how he thought his oases would go and he replied that one opponent objected to the oase being heard because he was too old (Statute of Limitations), and another objected because he was too young (pleading infancy). The "happy mean" had cvi. dently not been hit. Mr Carl Mortenson gives notice of his intention to. apply for a license for the Post Office Hotel at the annual meeting of the Otaki Licensing Committee. On Sunday the Rev. Oeo. Aitkens will (D.V.) hold servioe at Levin in the morn* tog, and in the evening at Foxlon. It was no Irishman who ejaoulated the following in Court on Thursday : — " His brother had the biggest half" The New Zealanders, Parker and Miss Nunneley, won by two sets in the Mixed | Doubles at Sydney, the score being 14 to 8. Miss Nunneley played a dashing game. In the Ladies' Singles, Miss Nunneley beat Miss Dransfield, two to love. Still a native of the colony it was who said lie did not know whether the defendant was a married man, though it had just been stated some other person was his son ! The Borough advertise the estimated income and expenditure for the ensuing year. The items are of interest and we direct the Burgesses' attention to them, and we shall refer more fully to the same on an early date. A lovely sight of Maori innocence. It was very necessary to have the case in Court interpreted to the defendant a wellknown Native, yet afterwards he held conBultation with his solicitor without the interpreter's aid, and the solicitor understands no Maori ! Owing to the great quantity of rain we have had the river has been very full and last night was bank high, and more in one or two placeß, but this morning the river had fallen fnlly three feet. " Mr Handa gives notice of his intention to apply for a license at the next licensing meeting, for the Sandon Hotel. j The Napier Harbour Board accepted the tender of. Messrs J. Saunders and Son, Wellington, for the completion of the breakwater, for the sum of £78,886. Mr Howan informs us that he, though much obliged to those who have promised him help, has decided to get the launch built without suoh assistance. He has reoeived specifications from the builder and ezpeots to have a start made almost at once.

This drawback need exist no longer) for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington.
