POLICE COURT KAWHIA. Tuesday 23rd.— (Before Major Tuke, R.M.) LARCENY FROM A STORE.

Tamaka, a half-caste, was charged by SergtMajor McGovern with stealing a waterproof sheet, value 7», the property of Messrs Langley Bros., storekeepers. Accused pleaded guilty. The Sergt-Major stated the circumstances and said, although it seemed a petty case, nevertheless it caused Mr Langley, and the police considerable trouble in bringing the gilty person to justice. However as he understood it was the first case of the kind that had come before his Worship in Kawbia, and as Mr Langley had no wish to press the charge be (the Sergt-Major) would be satisfied with a penalty, substantial enough to remind the accused that he must not in future appropriate other people's property to his own use. After a severe lecture from the Bench His Worship said ns Mr Langley and the police had no desire to press the charge he would give the prisoner the option of paying four times the value of the property stolen by him and the costs in all £1 15s, but if the prisoner appeared before him again on a similar charge he would undoubtedly send him to Mount Eden Gaol. The money was at once paid.

It was a plain rose of norvous lethargy, product by want of action of the liver and digestive organs. She was persuaded to try American Co's Hop Hitters, and now she writes : '" How intelligent and brigl t a c sermons and lectures now, and how glorious the world we live in is!
