During the hearing of the cases against Mr Simmonds at the English Opera Company at the Wellington Resident Magistrate's Court the other morning, the defendant was served with no less than thirty summonses in a bundle. Several legal luminaries who were present jocularly offered to whitewash him on liberal terms. A correspondent of the N. Z. Times writes from New Plymouth : — " The statement in the leader of the Taranaki Herald of the 14th instant re farmers cropping more than usual this season is incorrect, as there are no crops yet in. No seed wheat has been bought and little is doing on the farms, except near the towns. I have personally visited, and seen farmers from all the districts, and all say they have not sufficient confidence to crop as usual."
