She was seen on the parapet of a house qreatly imitated, ond threatening t throw herself down into the streW. " " ""'iceman entered tl

aen a policeman entered t. 4 lioust alio stated tlmt her husband hid beaton her, and threatened to kill her if she failed to undo a knot in his hair within five days. Eventually the accused was acquitfed, as the ovidenoe was deemed insufficient to prove habitual cruelty.

A London correspondent advises the Canterbury l'ress as follows:—When in the neighbourhood of Covent Garden,in the early part of April last, ho was present at the unpacking of fourteen cases of New Zealand apples, which had been landed ex steamer Doric, Each applo had been wrapped jn paper, and throughout these cases, which were emptied in the prcsenco of our correspondent, not only were none of the apples bad, but in no case was the paper stained. The colour, while not quite so good as that of a previous shipment, or of some of the Tasinuuiau fri|it, was still very fair, and tho salesmen stated that there was no doubt nt that soason of tho year tho apples would sell vofy well indeed, Steamers of tho Shaw Savill line have cool chainbora in which theso apples were shipped, and as our correspondent mentions that apples from Tasmania were landed at the same time, there appears no reason to doubt that ripe apples shipped from Canterbury in March, April, May, and June would find a ready sale at splendid prices in the London market, while, with careful packing, there is no reason to apprehend any sorioua loss in transit, Wo would strongly uri»e upon our fruit growers the ndvisatyeness of making an extonsivo trial of this market at as early a date as possible, We understand that on the last trip of the Doric both apples and potatoes were shipped, and thatarrangements aro boing made to send similar consignments by the lonic and following stoamers.
