Mr Fisher was questioned by i, Ittdy at his public masting at Wellington regarding the roucher question. In reply to one of the questions be said: I would take lip a sindllir. charge again, but I would go abodt it ill a different Wky; I say no public man with that eviaetidd ifi his possession could ignore it. I confess I made a mistake about the method 1 went about it, but I certainly would take up any other case on the same evidence, and so would, any lawyer in the country. Reports received state that many natives on the Wanganui river are in sore straits for food owing to the potatoes last year being ruined by the potato blight. Many families are said to be practically starving and reduced to living on fern and such other foods as they can obtain out of the bush.

The school* master at Pipiriki says many native children attending school there are without food except what they obtain in the bush, and the Roman Catholic priest at Jerusalem writes that little children are practically foodless. There is urgent need for relief. The Premier has been advised aid has promised some assistance.

What the Magistrate described as a most extraordinary incident came inder the notice of the S.M. Court at Christchurch during the hearing of judgment summons cases. A judgnent creditor, living out of town, had issued a judgment summons, and although not represented by counsel had seat a stamped addressed envelope to the Court, requesting the Magistrate to forward the result of the action. The Magistrate said that it was absurd for tbs creditor, being unrepresented, to suppose that the Court would conduct his case. As the judgment debtor appeared and formally objected to an order no order would be issued.

The* jury also desired the coroner to make representations to the Government pointing out the necessity for regulations re garding the licensing and construction of private hospitals. The jury also added ‘this rider: “ That having heard the evidence and inspected the heater in the room where the fire started, they were satisfied that no explosion took place.” A further recomraendation was made, pointing out that public security from fire was lessened by the different sized hydrants in use in the city and adjoining boroughs, besides tbs inadequate water supply.
