HAWKED BAY.
At the Magistrate^ Court, Napier, Chas. Hannah, a harvester, was committed for trial on a charge of attempting' to discharge a revolver at W. Morris, a felloWremployee 1 , at Fernhill Station. The evidence showed that Morris's wife, who wae cook at the station, refused to cook a hot dinner in the evening. Hannah objected to a cold dinner, and Morris attempted to pull the .objector's nose. Hannah _left, and returned with a loaded revolver, which he is alleged to have pointed at Morris, but the cartridges being old the weapon missed fire)" A capital indication of the great progress the town of Napier has made duringr the past year is obtained from the fact that 142 building permits entailing an expenditure of nearly £100,000, have- been issued during the year, an increase of over £50,000 on the previous year's figures. The Napier Carnival pommittee has added to the 'other attractions of the carnival a - musical and elocutionary competition, open to the whole of New Zealand. ■
