We understand that a public urinal is to be built in Waimate by Messrs Priest and Holdgate.' It seems a great pity that such a very necessary public convenience should need to be built by a private firm. Major Keddel, S.M., occupied the bench at the Magistrate’s Court on Thursday for the first time after his late illness. It is very satisfactory to bo able to announce, that the Major has now recovered pis -health and strength. The British Government, in -reply to Sir Henry Fowler’s attacks, conceded.the appointment of a committee to enquire in regard to the new naval works at Gibraltar, owing to the possibilities of long-range guns in Spain. A large number of people were present at the Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, evidently thinking they would heat some startling disclosures in the charge, of alleged murder against Jeremiah McCarthy. . Most of . the evidence taken, however, was that gone over *at ■ the inquest. At the Magistrate’s Court on Thursday the following oases weie held over till after the hearing of the Waihao murder case ; Stock Inspector V. C. O’Neil and Knight v. Knight. In Nicol 'and- Soo'U v Chas. Grubbclaim £l3 4s, judgment was given for plaintiff by default with costs 20s. ■ - :: - Samuel Flaherty, 25 years of’ age; was charged at the Supreme Court, Dunedin, with a very bad assault on avghi.bf the jlge oV folir years at St. 1 Ciair. (j The f defence was that the man was drunk, and that whenever he took drink h.e lost all Control of himself and did not know what he was doing. He remembered nothing of the circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and a sentence was passed of fifteen years’ hard labour, with two'floggings of 25 strokes each. The Hon. 3. Ward yesterday wired to Mayor that-the Indian troops would r be coming through on Monday and would stop ten .‘minutes at, tjhe Junction. The Mayor, wired- to ask if a special train would be run.
