J'rocociliriffS are bein^j taken by the Crown Prosecutor against Henry l'irlli and Stephen .Augustus Harris, bankrupts, lor alleged breaches of the Bankruptcy Act. Detective iSeill, who has been in Nelson for nearly fives weeks making enquiries in connection with tlio recent suspicious laial poisoning cases, returned to Wellington last ni^ht. Constable Poland has arrived from AVaitotara, and Avill take charge of the Clyde-quay station on Saturday. It is reported in Hastings that the large estate of Lochinvar, near Tawera, containing about 100.000 acres, has been purchased by a Hastings syndicate. The property contaius a lot of pumice land, and also has a good deal of bush and cleared grass land. Tho chief disadvantage is the cost of transit of the avool, which is the main production. A glove contest between P. jNlaroney and Mace, for a trophy, is advertised to take place at the Theatre Royal on Wednesday next. The Rppcncatli .School Committee invites lenders for asphalting- and for forming the approach to tho school. IF there is one thing- looked forward to more than another by tho Wellington public it, is the Clearing Sales at C. Smith's, the Cash Draper, Cuba-street. Meeting- of Parliament and want-of-coniidenpc motions are quite sccondaiy considerations to careful housewives. But C. Smith's Clearing yale is of vital importance to everyone. Money saved is money made. Tho sale commences CA'ery morning, sharp at 1) o'clock. Hargaius extraordinary ; reductions enormous. —AdVT.
