TE AROHA. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Te Aroha, Wednesday.

Thk business in the K.M. Court jeiterday was light, there b.'ing only two ciml curs on the list. The hr.st heard was that of T. F. Fenton v. Montague, in which iilaintitt sued for ill ">-, the amount of a div idend <>n fifty Colonist shares sold by defendant in Febiuaiy, ISS4. Ati ansfer foi fch<' shares, with the purchaser* name not filled in, h.id been Riven by defendant to his broker, but the document had not been registered by the puichaaser within the pres-cnbed tune, .md a fresh tiansfer h.vd to be applied foi moie than a month nftoi wards horn the defendant, in whose name the sluies weie still standing in the ho iks of the company, md who, in the meamshile, had di.twn the dividend su-d fo . In giving judgment, the court mled that no le^al -ale had taken place until the second tians'er, with the name of the purchumT properly tilled m, liad been given, and this had not been done until after tho dividend was received by the defendant. The plaintiff was therefore non-suited, vvitli eostx. In commenting upon the case, the Magistrate strongly condemned the practice .so common among dnalers in mining «hnien of giving theso infoi mil tian-fers, and slid that the whole of the p:n ties to the ti .infliction in the first instance had laid themselves, open to prosecution for evasion of the Stamp Duties Act, under which they were liable to a heavy penalty. The second cane, K. Mackio v. W. Purdie, claim for goods, 14s (id, judgment was givon for plaintiff, with costs, 108. In the Police Court, Win. Lincoln was charged with being drunk, and fined .V, or 24 bourn' imprisonment. As. the licensed was frequently in this state, Heige.uit Knierson applied to the bench for a piolul>i toiy older. An older was accoidmglv m.tde, piohibitmg all licensed publicans within the Te Aioha district fmni ~.upi>lying Lincoln with .'alcoholic liquor foi the sp.tce of twelve months. A muul.u ordei was applied foi nud gi.mted, piohihitiug all licensed publicans within the county and borough of Thames and Hie licemng distiict.s of Te Aroha and Waitoa from supplying T. Biadley with alcoholic liquors. There was no business in tho Warden's Court. The monthly meeting of the district school commit'teo took place on Mond.tj evening, but the business done was nniiu portant. Some discussion again arose re g.udingthe introduction of J)r. Richardson's temperance less>n book for use among tho moie advanced pupils, but the in ittei was further postponed until tho return of the he.td-tcacher, Mr Mar.sden, who is at present absent on leave. Tho day for future meetings of the committee has been alteied from the second Monday to tho hist Wednesday in each month. Acting (in tho suggestion of a, medical man of some eminence, who a 'Miort while since visir.ed the hot batlm, the Domain 15oad made application to Dr. Lemon, .Superintendent of Telegraphs, for an electric battery to bo used in conjunction w ith the baths. A letter has been received from that gentleman in which he kindly accedes to the lequest of the board, and offers to xupply an apparatus of any of the three descriptions used in lih depaitment. These are, " Daniel's," " Fuller's," Bichromate and "Le Clauche," and, as hoon as advice hns been obtained as to which in luoKt suitable for medical purposes, no time will be lost in giving this new curative agent a thorough trial. It i* supposed that tlie undoubted efficacy of the waters will be largely enhanced by its introduction, especially in paralytic and rheumatic ailments. The enrolment of |>ernojn in this district liable for service in the militia of tho first clags haw now been completed by Soigt. Emerson, and the liht now comprises 140. Very few of our young men have come forward voluntarily to offer themselves for service, ns has been the case in some other places, but although they may not a«pire "to seek tho bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth," the patiiotic spnit will be found, if occasion ieqmre, to burn as biightly here as it does amid communities that aie more demonstrative.
