Mr. John P. Milne, a native of Kirriemuir, Scotland, and a distinguished student of St. Andrew's University, died at the Wellington Hospitar yesterday. Mr. Milne, who arrived in Wellington only on the sth instant, was suffering from the effects of over-study, and had been sent to New Zealand in the hope that the change might lead to a speedy recovery. On arrival, however, lie was suffering from the effects of a chill and was obliged to go straight to tho Hospital, which he w*s never to leave alive. Professor M'Kenzie, of Victoria College, and Mrs. M'Kenzie were regular aud sympathetic visitors to him in his illness. Mr. Milne was only 23 years of age, nut had reached the. front rank in malhmatical and classical subjects. The funei.il took place at the Karori cemetery tb s forenoon, the service being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Janiieson, an old studc;io of St. Andrew's, a^d licentiate of llio Free Church of iScouand, to which Mr. Milne belonged. Deceased was the^ ouiy son of his widowed mother, who lives at Kirriemuir. Court Sir William Jervois, A.0.F., held its fortnightly meeting in St. Thoma.s\s Schoolroom last night, Bro. E. Alexander C.R., presiding. Bro. T. G. Kershaw was elected to represent the Court on the Dispensary Committee. The officers and members of* Court Sir George Bowen attended in strong force, and received a. hearty welcome. Harmony, games, and light refreshments were provided for the visitors. The sum of £2 2s was voted to a member of a ' country court to enable him to' have a change of climate "sor tLe benefit of his health. Addressing the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce the other day, Mr. Bellringer, of New Plymouth, who has been on a, visit to the Old Country, said there was jno doiubt great prejudice at Home against New Zealand butter — either it was too highly coloured or something else. The same prejudice applied to meat, only it was aggravated by the rough way in which it was handled at the London Central Meat Market at Smithfield, and also frequently by its being sold in tha same shops as vegetables. At Blackpool, where a company was running ...ew Zealand mutton, and where there we?o miofre shops for its sale than elsewhere, it was labelled as "Canterbury," wich the intention of misleading customeis, who only know of Canterbury as in Kent. People at Home did not believe in New Zealand meat, but if their prejudice could be overcome they would soon see the advantage of getting three pSunds of colonial for the price of two of English mfeat. The speaker recognised that there were difficulties to be overcome in solving the defrosting problem, in displaying the meat in a more cleanly and tempting manner, and in securing regularity of shipments. The Pioneer Lodge of Good Templarsheld its weekly meeting last night at the Rechabite Hall, Manners-street. Bro. Brennan presided. A letter of condolence was ordered to be sent to Sister Crabbe, of Hill-street, on the death of her son Percy, who was wounded at the Bat Mo of Arundel and died of enteric fever at the Cape. It was resolved tint- vie initiation fee of cand'ldiates coming, to the lodge from the Juvenile Temple be paid out of funds in the hands of the Treasurer of the Lodge. The remaiuder of the evening — an "Irish night" — was spent in harmony. Two first-offence inebriates were dealt with according to scale by Mr. Haselden, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court yesterday. Joseph Walker, for the theft of a pair of boots, the property of George Faris, was sentenced to six weeks' hard! labour.

The report of Judge Hevdon upon *h«j case of Dr. Burnestein, who was accused of having, while a. Justice of the Peace, and holding other offices under the Crown, at Lismore, used expressions insulting to the Queen, was laid upon the table of the New South Wale's Legislative Assembly some days ago. The inquiry lasted two days, and his Honour found tlotat the words complained of were used wilfully, with full knowledge of their insulting character, and with offensive intention. Dr. Burnestein had been in Lismore for twenty-two years, and during that time he had been an active, public-spirited, and useful citizen, being elected to every position to which it was possible for his fellow-citizens to' elect him. He was surgeon of the Lismore Hospital for fifteen rears, and Uoroner for sixteen years, and, besides being t^e Government medical officer, was attached to the military forces a? surgeon-cap-tain. While making every allowance for Dr. Burnestein's conduct, and recognising his many good qualities and his excellent ' record of public works, his Honor felt compelled to recommend that he be removed from the service of the State, whose head he had wilfully insulted, and dismissed from his appointments under the Crown. An interesting application^ was made the other day to Mr. Justice Walker, sitting in bankruptcy in Sydney. The i matter was a motion under section 134 of the Bankruptcy Act, in respect to n the bankrupt estate of John Davdson. "formerly soJcitor, of Goulburn. An ppplication was made by Mr. W. T. Dttsu, acting on behalf of Mrs. Frances Baptesta, widow of A. S. Freestone, solicitor, formerly of Young, for the recovery from Mr. W. H. Palmer, Official Assignee, of certain documents connected with the Tichborne case, which had come into the possession of Mr. Palmer as Official Assignee, in the estate *of John Davidson.. Mr. Gordon, instructed by Mr. A. W. Macarthur, appeared for che Official Assignee, to oppose the application, on the ground that Mr. Freestone had no lien "over the documents asked for; but he added that the Official Assignee was prepared to submit to any prder the Court might make. Mr. Dash explained that the papers had been produced in the Equity Court in 1884, when an application in connection with the Tichborne cose had been made by Thottus Orton for the release of the lunatic, William Cresswell, as his bro* ther. Mr; Gordon stated that the documents included two letters written by Cresswell to Freestone, ono on 22nd June, 1864, and the otner on Jltli May, presumably of the same year. His Honor, seeing ,na reason why these two letters should not be handed over, made an order to that effect, but refused to direct as to any other dofcumanta in the possession of the Official Assignee. We are not going into details about the quality of butter, because Defiance brand is the best. It must be, for it Is made only from selected cream, and is pure, fresh, and good.— Advfe.
