mav-nros of practical iinportnnee were Iving discussed, he contributed nothing whatever front his stores of wisdom and knowledge to their right adjustment ; in fact, for the general purposes for which »■ member is elected, he was obviously a complete failure." The article concluded by stating : %i Tlie meeting was no doubt picked for the occasion by this reckless slanderer. The presence ( f such men in the House was not to advance the welfare of the colony, or raise it in estimation of those outside its borders." At the Magistrate's Court, E. Mullens was charged with setting fire, to his hou^e at S.iwa Flat, with intent to defraud the Insurance Compam. The evidence disclosed so far is circumstantial, and is to the effect that the accused offered a person resident in the district a sum of mon i y to burn the house down. A person riding u horse answering to the description of one owned by accused was Bee"n passing through tlu stivets on the morning of the fire. Fourteen men were in the house when the fire was discovered, but escaped by means of the chimney. The accused was further remanded until Tuesday, bail being allowed himself in £400, and two sureties of £200 each.
