It may interest our Wunganui friends to know that a brother of Little, of Auckland, who has shot so well all through the N.Z. Rifle Association's meeting, is resident in Napier. Wo make this explanation as we know that wo will shortly read in a Wanganui paper that he has a cousin resident in that town. *" Cyclops," in the Mataura Ensign, relates the following :—" Not long ago a peripatetic draper opened a shop at Wyndham, and to induce reluctant housewives to purchase • his wares, displayed a large'calico sign with the legend—' 12-J per cent, discount, this day for cash.' Some of the sports removed this during the night, and next morning the astonished town saw the invitation flaunting above the Bank of New Zealand. It nearly caused a run on the Bank." ; The Waipawa Hotel was bought in today, at the sale by Messrs C. B. Hoadley and Co., by the mortgagee, Mr Gow.

Mr Dick had addressed the Bench, and during his address had cited a number of cases. Mr Lascelles, who appeared for the other side, began by saying that many cases had been cited, several of which had been orer-ruled. Mr Dick : '' Name one.'' Mr Lascelles _ continued his address. Mr Dick: "I insist upon the proceedings being stopped until Mr Lascelles either mentions a case that I have cited which has been overruled, or apologises, as he has accused me of doing what I , deserve to be

struck off the rolls for." Mr Laaoelles hereupon tried to say that he had stated something else. Mr Dick : " You distinctly said that I have cited cases which have been over-ruled. You are trying to shuffle out of it. I appeal to Hi? Worship." The Magistrate: " Mr ; Laseellps ; you certainly stated that . Mr.. Dick had cited cases which had been over-ruled. Will you name one ?" Mr Lnscelles : '' No Your Honor." " Can you ?" "No Your Honor." Mr Dick: " Then apologise." Mr Lascelles: "I will not." Mr Dick: "Then, Your Worship, I-say emphatically that Mr Lascelles has intentionally attempted to mislead the Court, an offence for which has before now been visited by the offender being struck off the rolls." Mr Lascelles, turning to the Bench : j " Your Honor, I admit that Mr Dick's law is perfectly correct." Mr Dick: "I accept Mr Lascelles' apology."
