WELLINGTON
This day. Circulars hare been seat to all the auctioneers throughout the colony asking them to take steps to remove the disabilities under which they suffer by the Licensing Act of 1881, and hoping that they will help to bring pressure to bear that section 3 of clause 28 may be repealed as far as the auctioneers are concerned. At the Magistrate's Court to day Alfred Wakeford, landlord of the Bank Hotel, was charged with Sunday trading, and a fine of 40s and costs was imposed Wakeford, in his evidence contradicted the whole evidence for the prosecution, and at the conclusion the Magistrate committed him to stand his trial tor
perjury. Bail was allowed, himself in ! £100, and two sureties of £50 each. Edward Shaw, of Wellington, has been retained to defend those charged with illicit distilling at Palmerston North, and leaves for that district to-night. In consequence of the heavy gale, the Governor did not start for Auckland this morning. He will probably leave at 11 o'clock to-night. .
