CHRISTCHURCH.
Mr W. Burnip, licensee of the Middleion Hotel, Kaiapoi, was charged with supplying James Kinlay, against whom a prohibition order bad been issued. He was fined £10. or a month's imprisonment, and the conviction to be endorsed on his license. Mr J. Griffiths, a tradesman on a similar charge of supplying one John -Armstrong, was fined £5, or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment. The Magistrate recommends an amendment of the Act with a view to prohibition,orders being advertised in newspapers. After some consideration it has been definitely decided to build a theatre on the site of the Free-thought Hell, in Cathedral Square. The site is admirably adapted for the purpose, and free from all objectionable surroundings. It is understood the promoters are prepared to sink a very large sum in the building and fittings, which will embody the latest developments of theatrical architecture and arrangement. The theatre is not to be an over-large one, but about the same size as the Melbourne Bijou. The plans are being prepared by Mr E. W. Petrie, of Dunedin, who has lately removed to Christchurch.
