Two large stacks of oats, the property of Richard Hornbrook, residing at Orari, were burnt down last night, under very suspicious circumstances. The police are making enquiries. These fires are becoming very common in the district. The report of the officer appointed to enquire into the charges against Firth, the property tax collector, at Pelorus Sound, for alleged alterati n of valuation has been received by Government, and it is understood it declares the charges not proved. However, Firth has been officially reprimanded for remaining drinking at the public-house, and also for the manner in which he drew up certain statutory declartions in connection with the charges.
