NELSON. [From the Nelson Examiner, June I.]
New Rope Walk. — At a rope walk, which has been set up in Nelson by Mr. Beechamp, a gentleman who came out recently a passenger by the Berkshire, we have seen some very superior flax spinning, equal in appearance to rope produced in any part of the world. Mr. Beecham has just completed a six-inch cable for a vessel now building in Freeman's yard, which is an excellent piece of workmauship. The convict Harris, who was lately, at the sittings of the Supreme Court, sent back to Van Diemen's Land for seven years, confessed, previous to going on board the Government brig, that he was the person who got the pocket book, lost by Mr. Boys in the Wakatu Hotel some months ago. We mention this fact in justice to the two young men who were taken up on suspicion of being the guilty parties at the time, and whose innocence is thus perfectly established.
