The Supreme Court buildings in Melbourne had a narrow escape from destruction by fire. A room occupied by one of the associates is warmed by a stove which is placed very near some woodwork leading into the library. The latter got ignited, but the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. A Norwegian named Christopherson was shot dead by a groom named Appleby, at Schofield's Hotel, Brieza, New South Wales. They previously had a quarrel during an election row. The charge against Mr. William Sincock, late manager of the Land Mortgage Bank of Victoria, of forging and uttering an endorsement of that bank to a bill of exchange for £7,000, was dealt with at Melbourne City Police Court, and ended in the acquittal of the accused.
