An inquest was being held as we went to press ou the body of the infant found in the College grounds yesterday afternoon. We may state, although not yet at liberty to mentiou names, that the mother of the child is known, but she is not in a fit state to-day to appear at the enquiry, which, after the medical evidence has been given, will be adjourned until she is sufficiently recovered to be present. In the R.M. Court yesterday in the actiqn brought by Mr Blower against Mr Stevenson to recover a total amount of £56 14s 6d, the details of which were given in our yesterday's issue, judgment was given for the plaintiff for £1, the price of a bridle detained by the defendant, and the Court costs, his Worship refusing to allow piofessional costs Great, and very delightful, are the anticipations of all the youngsters in the place— and we are not sure that some of the oldsters are not affected in the same way — with regard to the Circus Company, which is to arrive here iv the Taiaroa tonight and to perform on Friday, Saturday, aud Monday. As a circus never faila to attract a large crowd in Nelson, aud as this, being tbe biggist thing iv circuses that every visited the town, is likely to draw a bigger crowd than any of its predecessor, we suggest to the management that an opportunity ■ should be afforded of procuring tickets during 1 the day, io ag to aroid the crush and delay
