At the Supreme Court this morning, Cornelius Toll, convicted of the robbery of 30s from an hotel, and against whom previous convictions continually have been recorded since 1873, was sentenced to ten years' hard labor. P. H. Dodd, for forgery, received twelve months' hard labor. Kaikouea, This day. Mr Connor's Temperance Hotel was burnt down early this morning. About £30 worth was saved, but the inmates saved little or nothing. The premises and contents were insured for £600 in the New Zealand office. Fortunately there was no wind, or Mr Maston's new store would have gone. As it was it was only saved by the most strenuous exertions, the building being slightly damaged. _ Auckland, This day.
