It was stated in the Magistrate's Court at Masterton yesterday that a drover was not allowed to destroy sheep or cattle injured on the road unless with the consent of tho owner. The country on the Upper Plain is looking remarkably well at present. There is an abundance of feed, and tsbo stock boar evidence of having wintered woll. On one or two farms shearing is now under weigh. A Waihi telegram states that mattars in connection with the strike were quiet yesterday. The Union Executive talk of engaging legal advice in regard to an alleged assault on a striker by a police officer. A. motor cyclist, with a second party sitting on tho back, trnvelled through Queen Street, Masterton. yesterday afternoon, at a rate which was much too high, for the safety of the public. One of these days a serious accident will happen, and then probably steps will be taken to limit the speep of motor cyclists. A defended ease was heard in the Magistrate's Court at Masterton yesterday afternoon in which J. L. Murray, draper, of Masterton, claimed £5 Os Gd from W. 11. O'Mara. of Carswells, for a suit of clothes supplied. The defence was that the clothes were not'suitable, and had been returned. His Worship gave iudgment for the amount claimed, with Court costs £1 10s and counsel's fee £1 6s. Mr Coradine appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Cullen for defendant. Complaints were again made yesterday about the wretched acoustic properties of the new Masterton Courthouse. The Stipendiary Magistrate stated that he could not hear the name of a witness given in the box a' few feet- from where he was sitting. Mr H. C.

Sheep are commanding a high price in this district say#i the Dannevirke News, a fact which does not deter dealers in their dealings.

As the 1912 chess season is drawin tr to an end. the Masterton Chess Club has decided to close the season with a sides-match on Wednesday, October 23rd, at the Club's rooms in the Y.M.C.A. building. Play will commence at 8 p.m., and all lovers of chess are cordially invifed to attend. They are assured of a good game. During the evening, at the supper adjournment, the trophies which have been won this y°ar will be presented. Last Monday plav was completed in two of the crw'petitions, viz.. Mr .Tones' sealed handier r> and Mr Dagg's shield. Maste." C. Hoffeins won the former and Mr K. Welch, the latter. Mr L. G. Reid, S.M., commented in the Magistrate's Court, at- Masterton yesterday upon the fact that in nearly everv case that canie before him ill which Maori* were concerned, the services of an interpreter were irequested. His Worship considered that in most case.s this request was merely a dodge to avoid giving a direct answer to questions. He had noticed that one witness could swear in English outside the Court, but when he came into Court lie would not swear to speak the truth without the .assistance of an interpreter. Counsel pointed out that Sir Robert Stout bad ruled in a recent case that a Native could demand the services of an interpreter, notwithstanding that he could speak English. His Worship said it seemed ridiculous to him that a Native who could speak good English should require the services of an interpreter. Under a Magistrate's Court procedure adopted a year or two back, it is incumbent upon the defendant in a civil action to give five (lavs' notice of his intention to defend. Intimation to this effect is given on the back of summonses, but it is in such an obscure position that litigants are likely to overlook' it. Mr I/. G. Reid, S.M., has made representations to the Department • with a view to having tho notice placed in a conspicuous part of the front of the summons. A case cropped up in the Magistrate's Court at Masterton jesterday in which the executor in the estate of the late C. A Pownall claimed £lO from Percy Rogers, hotelkeeper, of Wellington. The defendant, for whom Mr G. H. Cullen appeared, alleged that there wa s n good defence, the amount sued for having been paid. Notice of intention to defend had not, however been given. After hearing counsel; His Worship granted special leave to defend on costs (.£] 10s) being paid. Get your piano where you can relr on quality and value.

They will be of a varied character,, and should attract a large audience. Cuthbert William Bridge, of Masterton, who was charged at Wellington with Jcatfcle stealing, has been further remanded until Wednesday next. Bail was allowed in one surety of £IOO, or two of £SO. A difficulty ' was experienced overVthe (bail, as the bondsmen, who were forthcoming from Masterton, were compelled under the law to sagn the bond in tho ■Court in which the case is heard.

On Saturday afternoon , | the matinee will provide something , new and fresh for the children, while j the evening entertainment fives indication of being specially attractive. Mr J. H.

He adds by way of explanation that ho does not ask that the examination be relaxed, but merely that the condij tions under which the examination , may be taken shall be relaxed so that backblocks teachers hi ay have a better chance of obtaining the certificate.
