FEATHERSTON NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent,) Wednesday. - The usual monthly sale of Messrs A, G. Taine and Co, took place yes--1 terday, but owing no doubt to tl« wet weather all the entries did not f come to hand. There was a fail attendance of buyers, very few sheep being yarded, and only one lot going, the others being passed iu, Oil Monday J. Campbell and B, McNamarra were charged before Mr J. G. Cox, J.P., with intent tc commit a breach of the peace under the Justice of the Peaco Act, but owing to lack of evidence they were discharged, Since then McNainarrahasbeen arrested for vagrancy and is to be charged under the Vagrancy Act to-day. Lately we have had a man and woman in our midst of no enviable reputation and as they began to make themselves a nuisance they have been mado to movo on by the police, I am glad to say that at last the water tables in Fitzherbert Street are being cloaned out, and itsnot before its wanted either, for lately they have been one mass of grass and filth. Ml' and Mrs W. E. Bidwill arrived by yesterday morning's train, and were driven home " four-in-hand " by Mr F. Pearce.
