The country correspondent of a Taranaki paper has discovered the champion mean man:—He has been in the habit of receiving a small quantity of milk from a neighbour for which he paid nothing. The neighbour had occasion to visit town for one day, and during his absence Mr Mean milked his two cows, for which, on his return, he requested the neighbour to pay him two shillings. Needless to say the flow of milk is stopped. Amongst the the passengers from London by the Paparoa, which arrived at Wellington on Saturday, were H.C.

A regular London trick was played on a Dunedin pawnbroker last week. Whilst talking with a friend in the shop just before closing for the night, a man ran in and asked a loan of 4s on some trumpery looking vases which he produced. The pawnbroker said “ No,” and went on talking. The customer turned away, but whilst going out of the door seemed to make up his mind for a sacrifice, and producing a good umbrella remarked to the man in charge: “ Here you are—l must have the money—take rny umbrella too.” The pawnbroker, with half an eye, saw that there was now ample security against the advance, and without breaking his yarn he handed over the 4s, and placed the pledges on the shelf. And when the interview was over and the friend was preparing to depart they made the discovery that the customer had perfected his bargain by pledging the visitor’s umbrella.

Readers of the Home cables of the last few days, says the Southland Times, will have noticed that a man named John Sullivan, a seaman on the steamer Waiwera, was charged in London on Thursday of last week with the murder of Denis Rowthan on the passage from New Zealand to London. Rowthan was a deck boy on the steamer, and Sullivan stands accused of having done for him by two murderous blows. The Waiwera was at Bluff about the end of March, and on the 30th of March, at the Bluff Police Court, before Messrs Nichol and George, J.P.’s, a seaman of the vessel named John Sullivan was charged with having on board the said steamer Wai wera, at Timar-u, on 28th March, unlawfully assaulted Denis Rowthan, by striking him in the face with his fist. Sullivan was then fined 10s, in default seven days imprisonment. He served time, and was then sent on, we understand, to the Waiwera at a northern port. It would now appear from the charge as if the poor lad had been further assaulted at the hands of Sullivan, so severely, it is alleged,- as to have caused death. For some reason known to himself, Sullivan must have had a violent dislike to the boy, and this dislike seems to have culminated in a crime. If the alleged murderer and his victim are the same persons as appeared before the Bluff Court in March, and no doubt they are, the New Zealand case should have an important bearing upon the forthcoming trial' in London.
