{Our Own Corretpondent.) PALMEBBTON NORTH, THIB DAT. Some complication is likely to arise over tho action of the Deputy Official Assignee in taking ovor tho property held by the wifer of a bankrupt named Walsh, which is now claimed to be hor separate proporty, although at the meeting of oreditoru she said eho would make no claim to it. The oreditors aro safd to be taking steps in the matter, as they have supplied goods separately to the wife, and it is oxpootcd that her estate will pay better than if the whole were put together. In reply to tho request by Mr. Wilson for a polling place at Fitzherbert for the Fox ton electorate, the Colonial Secretary has written stating that under the 6th olaueo of the Regulation of Ejections Act a change cannot be made unless it is shown that the election cannot proceed without additional polling; booths.

The Borough Counoil have passed a, resolution in favour of the orection of a weigh' bridge in Palmerston, for the benefit of tho conntry settlers, and a committee has been appointed to enquire into the matter. It has been decided to pay the claim of Mr. Hubbard in connection with the borough water supply £100, in settlement of all his claims for premium and commission.
