The friends of Mrs A. Osborne will regret to learn that she is an inmate of the P&lmerston North Hospital. Mrs Osborne, was admitted to that institution yesterday and underwent a serious operation to-day. Mi’. J. ; A. Nash, M.P., has received cable advice that his son, Dr. H. Webster Nash, has passed his F.R.C.S. at Edinburgh University. Dr. and Mrs Nash and their infant daughter are leaving for New Zealand this month by the steamer Port Nicholson.

Yesterday the Auckland Board of Education, in committee, discussed the case of A. Hook, headmaster of the Mercer School, who had pleaded guilty to the theft of a pair of socks from a city shop. The chairman later stated that the Board, after a long and careful consideration, had decided that no other course was open but to dismiss Hook.

Mr. M. E. Perrcau has disposed of his well-known bakery, confectionery and catering business to Mr. Grady. Mr Perreau founded the business about'2s years ago on very modest lines, but by hard work and enterprise it gradually developed into one of the best-known bakery concerns in the province. In the building up of the business Mr Perreau has had a splendid helpmeet in Mrs Perreau and both have deservedly earned the rest which retirement will give them. Mr. and Mrs Perreau will shortly take up their residence in the Lady’s Mile.
