SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day,

The local representatives of the Blackball Company say there is no danger of a coal famine from, the present stoppage of the mine. There is enough coal on hand for a fortnight's local requirements, and no great, quantity will be required for big contracts with the New Zealand Shipping Company till the 6th January.

Dr. Mason, the newly appointed head of the Department of Health, was entertained at dinner last night by the medical men of Wellington.

Captain Shepherd, of the schooner Lark, was fined £ 1 at the Magistrate's Court for exceeding his license for carrying deck cargo of timber. A case is before Chief Justice to-day in which Charlotte Johns, seamstress, sues Peter Hansen, her late landlord, for £500 damages for alleged slander and malicious prosecution. As plaintiff was behind with her rent and would not quit, Hanson boarded tip her rooms. She took down the boards and turned some of the chips. Hanson prosecuted her for alleged theft of the timber, but eventually withdrew the charge. He is now claimed to have made reflections on her character. Defendant pleads that, if he made the imputations, they were true.
