DUNEDIN.
Wednesdoy.
The rain has ceased and the floods subsided, except ou the Tairei plain, where the water has risen considerably to-day, and for miles tlie plain is under water. A well-known settler named Borrie was drowned to-day. A newspaper runner was fined this 'morning for selling the Daily Times newspaper on the railway platform without the consent of»the Minister for Public Works. Messrs Heed and Fenwick having obtained the sole right,of selling literature on the platform, have excluded all local papers except their own, hence the action. For the defence, it was urged that the travelling public complained of not being able to get copies of the Times.
