It appears tha defendant had crossed the Ohote creek on plaintiff's land. Shortly after, plaintirf found a gate and some fencing broken/ i'owti and thrown in the creek, and knowing that defendant had passed that way, plaintiff charged him with the act, and claimed £1 for- damage cjbae. A number of witnesses were examined, but I bae, however, proved'that ; t'hVfeuce and gate were down before twelve o'clock on the day in question/ and defendant did*, not pass the spot till after one o'clock.

The Fijian Native KaBELLioN.-r-It is stated that Lieut Knollya, aide de camp to Sir Arthur. G-ordbn,- settled the Fijian difficulty at a cost of £3O. When the rebellion- broke out,-: Lieut E.uollys took .the,field. with a few hundred natives and police, aVmed with SnydersV' The campaigii was by no means-an easy one,, the enemy taking shelter in ! fortified, positions in the mountains. Neverthelesa the energy, of the commander, and tho destructiveness of the snyder effectually' put down the rebellion in a few months, and we are told on good authority, that .the total:,cost was..only £3O. Tne • World.',.says, that' Lieut Knollya h«8 been promoted for this, and thinks \hp, ought tp'.b'a made a, K. G. B. If the "facts areas stated, Wfe agree with the f World.' Compare the cost of war in New Zealand, with that in Fiji. Lieut Knollya was-not encumbered by a long train of. commissariat, but adopted the Napoleonic tactics of subsisting on-the enemy,, and instead of £3,000,000, he spent £3O^ ij3hould>any further trouble arise in New Zealand, it would be well to import Lieut Kuollys, aud place him in command." ■ ; . .
