but. gallantry forbids ns giving the weight of the ladiea, although we may say that were neither Astec. nor Lilliputians. "Qnb MqRB UxFORTTiiV.VEE." — Manavrntu bids fair to be the premier counbj m the matter, qs newspaper representation, as m addition to the two County organs, a third one is to be started at Feilding — nodoubt attracted by the bait of the County adver.isjng. Well "as opposition is tlie life of trade," we greet. the Jprospeet of increased business;. When,, our Eoxfcpn contemporary appeared upon the scene we , feltplqaaed • but the last" addition puts the " Cappeii ?' upon it. If we eouid'only induce sqnie> enterprising journalist to squat dowr*. at Fitzherbert m front, and another at Awahuri, behind, we would have reached the sunuim bonum of' happiness, as we ebuldthen feel like the pivot upon which, all the others'indved. The Price. of a J.P. — On Wednesday fche ( judicial magnates were m great request, and the -Constable might have been, seen scouring the country from daylight tp dark m search b£ one of the Great Unpaid ; while, as he had promised five bob for a captive, his scouts were both numerous and anxious. When the midday train, arrived, Mr. Macarthur was on board, and the vigilant,- guardian looked .yery^inuch like as if. he year,npd to utilise his services 'ana* '''run him on" — to the Bench. However, the^ Ee l ilding7j.P.:.was a- privileged' person, who; was speeding to the Councils of his County, t and G-iHd->pie had rto ,seek relief' elsewhere.' At, six Vc-ock, when the Epxton' train stopped at the- station, the -offiperjs heai\t was rejoiced by a sight o£ the Mayor, who. had 'Just arrived from Wellington, and an arrangement was made" tliat he should visit the Cpurt. after the jaftting of the Borough Council, and -flxqijcise, his magisterial capacities. . The "cause o£ all the trouble was the arrest of a man for defrauding the coach 'proprietors, the driver of which was the prosecutor, and the hurry was to allow him to take away Her. Majesty's mfti-B.' y. , .• ■ . •s.^A .Hxai); ,-. Case.— Henry Bhepherd^was brought .before his Worship;. the. Mayor at half-past nine o'clock on Wednesday night, aiid sentenced to one week's imprisonment. The; accused' ha'd riddepi m the coach from Wairampa, but when .asked by' the coachman for his fare, said he had ' no money, promising to pay upon ai'iu^al at Palmerston. HoweveP he failedyto do so, and when threatened with arrest he went about the town striving to raise the amount from his friencs. When iarrested he; had eighteen shillings collected out of, the thirty. The poor fellow evidently had never been under lock and key before, as he cried bitterly during the twenty-four hours of his^ incarceration, and ,piteo.uly asserted m Court 4 that he did not mean to clo t{he driver out .of apennyl .-A gentleman- present, feeling -for the.m isery., of the unfortunate feljow,.; offered to pay the iponey if he were released, but tlie.prosecutor was inexorable, and preferred; sending him to gaol to b.eing paid thirty shillings.

"We.ilo •not'doubt'ior a moment Mrw Series's assertion that he had been severely vieimised,' : and he. desired' to give a salutary, lesson, but •Shepherd,- had Be been discharged, had received jh-fc as bitter a legspn as if another, man had been sentenced to* twelve months.
