The land sale at Hawera on Thursday, the 13th inst., was a two-thirds of the land offered being sold. »The deferred payment averaged £2 10s., and the cash £2. The Otakeho suburban was put up at £B, and averaged £l6, one section bringing £29. The H. B. Herald says : —The other day we' published some curious items in the bill of a Wellington lawyer, in which he *• instructed ” himself to order the publication of an advertisement in various journals. The Victorian lawyers seem to be even better at that sort of thing. A legal bill of costs for £127 13s 9d, on being taxed was reduced to £6 18s 4d, which included costs of taxing. Arbitrators are not bad fat the same game. A Victorian official sued the Government for £lOOO, deductions made from certain monies without his consent. . It was refeared to arbitration. The arbitrator handed in a sealed award, to be handeu over to either party on payment of costs £640. The official and the Government had sufficient sense left to leave the award alone.
