CHRISTCHURCH.
This day.
Tiro men were drowned at Waikirikiri Banks Peninsula, on Saturday last while loading the E. W. Cameron with timber. It appears that in launching a boat it hung for some time on the ways, fi!Vd vu'th water, and capsized. Walters, and Rowland tried to reach the shore, but became exhausted and were d -owned. Both were unmarried men. The body of Walters was washed ashore at Waikirikni on Sunday.
Several cases of selling drink during prohibited hours, and allowing gambling in licensed houses, came before the Bench today. In one instance, for allowing a " shilling in and the winner to shout," the publican was fined £10, and the Court expressed a dene'nation to put down the practice.
The Clematis was rather severely injured by the collision with the Eotorua, and had she been struck a little further forward wou'd have been sunk. The master throws all the blame on the Rotoraa, but avers that the captain of the steamer told him it was his own fault, and he could have got out of the way.
