(From Our Own Correspondent.) Jan. 10. The returns for the year ended December 31, 1921, of the registration district of Inglewood, as supplied by Mr. Burns, the local registrar of births, marriages and deaths, show that there were recorded ajl the Inglewood office 130 births, 16 deaths and 24 marriages.

At the S.M. Court, Inglewood, during the quarter ended December 31, 1921, there were two sittings held, presided over by Mr. A. M. Mowlem, S.M., and the records show that in the civil division £538 14s 3d was the amount sued for. of which £498 3s 3d was recovered. Forty-five plaints were issued, two distress warrants, and three judgment summonses issued, and four orders made on judgment summonses. Eighty-nine summonses w’ere served, 4 writs executed, and 2 warrants of committal. A total of £54 14s was paid in fees. In the criminal division eight males appeared before the court; one was discharged in absence of evidence, one on merits of the case, and six were summarily convicted, of whom four were fined, one order made, and one convicted and discharged. The fees paid amounted to 14s, and fines to £7 ss.

On Friday evening last a farewell gathering, at which Mr. A. Paterson the guest, was held at Mr. W. H. Eagar’s Coffee Palace, when Mr. A. Paterson, formerly well and very favorably known in his professional capacity of solicitor, as well as in his social and citizen role as member of the Borough Council, was called upon by local friends to receive, at the hands of Mr. J. Sutherland, a substantial token or the warm regard in which they held him, at the same time also of their hopes for his success in his new home at Te Kuiti, whither he and his family have gone. It is quite certain that all who know them will wish them every kind of good fortune, while many will regret that, on account of the very short notice possible to be given in the disorganised holiday times, they could not know of the intended send-off in time to participate therein. Good news of them will always be gladly received here, and a welcome be ready for any one of them who may find time and convenience to pay a visit to Inglewood for old times’ sake.

The end of the Christmas and New Year holiday 1921-22 was mildly acknowledged at Inglewood by a attendance at the weekly Saturday’s" function, the mart sale (Newton King, Ltd.), which few frequenting farmers forego.
