The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1887 THE MAYORAL ELECTION.

The election of Mr Eenall as Mayor is, we frankly admit, a surprise to us, Mr Lowes polled about as many votes as we expected to see recorded in his favor—more, in fact, than were required by the victor in the last contested election—but his successful opponent, Mr Eenall, polled twice as many votes as we anticipated would le accorded to him. The moral is that Mr Eeiiall's friends had a quiet but effective organisation, which has scored a win, We are not going to grudge Mr Eenall his victory, although we regard his election as a mistake, We shall be delighted if twelve months hence we shall be able to say that his election was not an error in judgment on the part of the burgesses. We scarcely understand how he and the Council over which he Ims to preside can pull together, unless a considerable amount of forbearance is exercised on either side. It is not impossible that hatchets should be buried during the ensuing Mayoral term. Let us hope, for the good of the town, that they will be,

Janet McGuire and her two sous, Alick and Thomas, aged respectively about eleven and thirteen years, were charged on an information by Edward George Williams with assaulting Mrs Catherina Williams and George Williams, aged nine years. From the evidence of the prosecution it appeared that the parties concerned were neighbors. On Monday last as the; lad Williams was returning from school he was set upon and beaten by the two McGuire boys, who struck him with a whip and kicked him.
