The R-M. a short timo since said that m future by-law cases wero to bo dealt with by tho local Justices. I repeat thi- because X~ by a small word in the report on Saturday being misplaced, it would appear that he had said tbe reverse. It is understood that the now Justice alluded to last Friday by tho Bench is Mr -W Beilby. If that is so, the appointment •will be a most popular one. Some movement is on foot to obtain a fast train in the morning and evening. I know that some representations were made on the subject some years ago to the Public Works Minister, the reply being that the plant had mot been constructed for a greater speed than I think sixteen miles per hour A a-entleman whom I was riding with on Saturday told me that the run between Napier and Hastinsr. could be done m thirty minutes. Tho requisition, if presented to the Department, will ask that the morning train shall arrive at Napier at nine o clock instead of a quartet-past as at present, and to leave Hastings at the samo time as a! presen . o{ ft nature occurred 0 n Saturday night on the road Wding to Paki Paki. A buggy and horse, which was being drive., by Mrs Chapman, the only other occupant being a young hid, her grandson, on arriving by the.racecourse the horse bolted, and near Bold's Crossing Mrs Chapman, of this town, was thrown out into the road. The poor Lidy was Sen up aud carried into Mrs Sandershouse, where every attention was paid to her until sho could be taken to her home. The boy was carried half a mile further, «-.. then pitched out, but without reman remained unconscious lor many, hours, Tad wl-en she recovered her senses singular to relate, had no reco-loot.-- of the accident Ido not know the extent of the lady's injuries, but they must be severe a. There is no doubt she received a kick from Se horse. The horse and trap escaped -without much injury.
