The police made an eftort to capture them, but being well mounted, the fugitives got away. The police have arrested several men at Mitchell on a charge of supplying them with food. An extraordinary fact, but not so surprising when all is known, came oat the other day in a talk about orchards. “ All my trees are nearly dead ” said our informant. “ How is that ? ” “ Well a man came round and sprayed the trees and then left. Shortly afterwards they all died." "Did you go for thatonan ?." “ No, you see shortly afterwards he went to the asylum." This is a fact.

A good story is told of an Irishman, snore patriotic than clever, who enlisted in one of the smart cavalry regiments. The fencing instructor had experienced rather a difficult job in the matter of explaining to him the various way of using the sword. “ Now,” he said, “ how would you use the sword if your opponent feinted?" “ Bedad,” said Pat, with gleaming eyes, “ I’d just tickle him with the point to see if he was shamming."

James, S.M.) took occasion to remark upon the fact that, at certain houses in the town, drink was served to persons in an intoxicated condition. Mr James stated he had, with his own eyes, seen drunken meti turned out of a hotel. He had on the the previous evening, seen one man s!retched across the footpath. He considered that, for a town of the size of M.i.r.e. L-.;a, la; too mud: drinking was indulged in. Publicans should have more respect for their businesses than to serve drink to drunken men. He (the Magistrate) could not help thinking that the police supervision was what it might be. The police should visit {be hotels about 10 o’clock every night, and see if there were drunken men about. It was disgraceful that, in a town of the size of Masterton, there should be forty-two prohibition orders in existence. He hoped that in future the supervision would be such that there would be no cause for complaint.

Judgment was given on Friday by Mr Justice Edwards in the case in which Charles Thomas Gray claimed damages and an injunction from the Awahuri Dairy Company for alleged pollution of a stream what had been clearly established. The onlyjquestion in dispute was whether or not an agreement cphie to by the parties in settlement of a prior action in the District Court with respect of an earlier pollution of the stream amounted to a grant by plaintiff to defendant of a right from that time to pollute the stream. General damages only were proved, hut the pollution was of a very offensive nature, and it continued for a year after the proceedings in the District Court, and for some time after notice of the present suit. The polltion of the only water supply available to the plaintiff in his business as a dairy farmer must have caused him actual damage, the arpount of which it’ was impossible accurately to estimate. Judgment would be for £SO, with costs on the lowest scale, and an injunction would also be granted. The Wanganui Education Board has decided that the winter holidays will commence on June 28th.

“ When a person sets the criminal law in motion he should find out exactly what he is doing; if he does he must take the risk,” said Mr Justice Edwards yesterday. His, Honour added that unless a prosecutor had good _ reason to believe a defendant was likely to leave, it was an outrage to send a constable to the man’s house to drag him away in the presence of his wife.

In these rat-catching days the following wrinkle given by the Napier Telegraph may be useful To those who are anxious to turn an honest threepenny we submit the following simple plan for catching the rodents: —Get a bucket, fill it three-parts with water, on float chaff to, say, an inch or so of the top, next sprinkle a few oates over all. The rats, who reckon they know a bucket of good horse feed when they see it, hop gaily down on the pbaft, and—fall in.
