The Trustees of the Oastlepoint Rabbit District met at Tenui ; on "Saturday last. The business was chiefly to receive the Inepector'ii report,' and to consider if the funds would warrant the continuation 61 the -b'oniia -of 3d askin for- rabbits, after the en.d of the year. It. tvaa.resolyed; that a notice should be published in the "Daily" to the effect that all claims against the Trustees for skins be sent in not later that the 3lst December, and that after that date the bonus would cease. •
