Last night the City Council voted £50 to Councillor Hobbs for expenses in attending the Wellington Municipal Conference. The City Council have decided to make strong representations to the Government of the necessity for erecting a new Magistrate's Court. The present buddings were characterised by Councillors as little better than a Black Hole of Calcutta. If the Government will make over the' Provincial Council Chamber to to the City Council, the latter will probably erect a new Magistrate's Court_at,a cost of £3000. At tlte inquest on the body of Buckley, who was found dead on the Port Hills on "Friday with wounds on the lieaJ, the medical evidence was to the effect that deceased died from concussion of -the brain, caused by a fall. The jury returned a verdict of found dead, but by what means deceased died there is not sufficeat evidence to show. The chairman of the recent artisans' meeting received a letter from the Government, stating that the matter of having public works material manufactured in the colony will receive attention, and when compatible with'economv, will be carried into effect.
