[bt telegraph— press association. I WELLINGTON, Saturday. The Fine Arts Association's annual exhibition will be opened by the Governor on Monday afternoon. William Peate was charged at the Magistrate's Court to-day with fraudulently converting to his own use a promissory note. For the defence it was shown that the note was unstamped and, therefore, not valid security as a matter of law, that the accused was not bailee, and farther that there was no evidence of conversion. The Magistrate, in dismissing the case, remarked that the evidence did not leave a shadow of disgrace on the character of the accused. A man named Henry Davis, a swagger, was arrested at Featherston last night, charged with stabbing a man named Lawrence Dun, a railway labourer. The wound is across the right breast over the nipple, and extends 1£ inches. The wound was inflicted with a sheath knife. Davis only arrived by a late train from Wellington, and no cause can be assigned for the assault, which was committed in the Empire Hotel.
