Owing to the rapid spread of rabbits in tbo Kiwitea County, the Council has now decided to take action to try tp prevent their increase, and will obtain a supply of poison for the settlers and try to arrange for its use at dates fixed upon. Cr. AlcNeal urged that this step should bo taken, and he was strongly supported by the Chairman, who pointed out that the duty of a County Council was broader than the mere interpretation of the Counties Act would indicate. The Kiwitea County Council on Saturday granted Cr. Short, who leaves on Tuesday on a trip to England, six months leave of absence. The Chairman speaking on behalf of the .Council [isaid lie was quite sure the ratepayers in Cr. Short’s riding would readily grant the leave of absence, if it had been necessary to refer the decision of the matter to them. But the interest of the riding would not suffer in any way, for he and Cr. Hockley would make a special effort to seo that everything was attended to as well as if Cr. Short were present. They hoped that be and Airs Short would derive the utmost pleasure from the trip, and ho could bo sure on his return of receiving a hearty welcome from the Kiwitea County Council.

On Saturday, at Dunedin, Air Widdowson, S.AI.', gave judgment in the case of Dunedin City Corporation v. Napier. Complainants applied to have a stable in Hope-street pulled down as being insanitary. A certificate of the Health Officerbad been given certifying the building to bo dangerous to the public health Air Widdowson finds that the stable, though old and perhaps not so up-to-date as the authorities require, seem 3 to be in a remarkably good state of preservation and in fairly good order and condition. He is of opinion that it was not proved to bo decayed or dilapitated. and that he would not be justified in making an order to pull it down. Judgment was for defendant with costs (JEC 6s), each party to pay its own expenses.
