McNab's gardens at the Lower Hutt were sold on Thursday for /5000. The union of the Free and United Presbyterian Churches has been finally adopted almost unanimously. The Standard says that Lord Salisbury's retirement and the succession to the Foreign Office of the Marquis of Lanadowne, Secretary of State for j War, will be a national misfortune. ! There were five tenders received for the erection of a residence for Mrs : Austin, and Mr Andrew Jonson's was the lowest, but owing to the absence of Mr C. Ausun no contract has been signed yet. Speaking at the opening of the Canterbury Exhibition Lord Ranfurly said : — I desire to express my sincere regret at Lady Ranfurly's absence. She has especially directed me to explain that she was unable to be present, as when we heard the grand news that the Duke and Duchess of York would visit this colony it was necessary for her to leave on a holiday to England, and at an earlier date than usual in order that she might return to the colony in time to do her duty on behalf of the people. Prince Charles, of Arenberg, brother of Duke Engelburt, of Arenberg, and a lieutenant in the German Imperial Corps in South-west Africa, has been tried by a military Court for the unprovoked murder of a native servant. He was found guilty, and sentenced to eighteen years' imprisonment in a military fortress in Germany. Doubt appears to exist as to the operation of the Trading Stamps Act, and the position of traders in possession ot trading stamps. The Act came into force on Monday las t, and any trader issuing trading stamps now renders himself liable to a penalty. The same risk applies to any person who shall give or deliver any moneys or goods on presentation of any trading stamp. Stamps issued by traders to their customers prior to Monday last must be redeemed by the trading company, and every such customer is entitled to receive fourteen shillings in the pound for every full book of stamps in such books, or goods to an equal value at the option of the Trading Stamp Company, and should the company fail or refuse to meet this liability the holder may recover in Court. Traders who may have stocks of trading stamps appear to have no remedy whatever, and lose tbe value of the stamps, for they cannot now be issued to the public, and there is no right of recovery fmm the Trading Stamp Company. — 11. 8. Herald. The Borough Council notifies that Mr Hillary has resumed his duties as poundkeeper.
