(Before H. Kenrick, Esq., K.M., and Wikiriwhi Hautongo, Assessor.) The usual sitting of the Police and R.M. Court took place in the Public Hall to-day, wheu the following business was disposed of:—

Three natives were charged with being drunk and disorderly, and with resisting the police in the execution of their duty. la conducting the prosecution Mr Kenny made some well-timed remarks, and wished the naires to understand that unruly conduct in the future would not be overlooked as in the past. The native's referred to were each fided three pounds and cost of Court, or three weeks' imprisonment. M. G. Power v. J. M.

A few cases v»ere adjourned to next Court day. Having a short time to spare on Tuesday Mr Kenrick accompanied by Mr Kenny, inspected several pieces of land with a view to making a selection for cemetery purposes, and on his return to the Thames will do all in his power to have the sites set apart for the purpose. AH and sundry that visit us wonder why we have not the telegraph extended to this township, and it is to be hoped the Constabulary will come from the West Coast and uettle the question. As showing the improvement in the roads, Mr John Phillips, junr.,^ informs me he rede easily from Sbortland on the old favorite Potentate in two hours and twenty-five minutes, and is confident the journey cau be dove in two hours.
