Lindsay, cattle-dehorning appliance^ Representatives from, the Napier Chamber of Commerce, the Hawkes Bay, Waipawa, and Patangata County Councils, and the Farmers' Union, waited on tho Minister for Railways on Saturday with some requests concerning that district. The deputation, which was introduced by Mr. A. L. D. Fraser, M.H.R., asked that the same concessions should be given from Napier inland as were granted from the Wellington end of the line, or in tho alternative a reduction in the mileage. Other requests made included an extra, train between Waipukurau and Napier, and concessions in passenger rates between Napier and Hastings. The Minister, referring to freight charges between ■ Napier and the interior, said the competition between the Government and theManawatu Company at this end of the line was the root of the 'trouble, and he did not think the matter could be remedied at present. If reductions were mado from Napier there would be a lowering of the rates from Wellington. The situation would not be bettered till the Government owned the Manawatu railway, and when that would be was a matter which, depended upon the Company. The Government had been asked to pay moro than the line was worth. Owing to thia competition special rates ,Avere charged from Wellington, but if the rates were lowered from the Napier end the competing company would lower its' rates from Wellington, and therefore there would be a lowering all round, which mightaffect the rates all over the colony. As to an extra train, a trial would be made, but concessions between Hastings and Napier could not be made. A burly -man named Win. Smith, with an injured shoulder, appeared before Dr. A. M' Arthur, S.M., -this morning to answer for having behaved in a disoiderly manner whilst drunk, 'and for havifig resisted Constable M'Cormack whikl in the execution of hi 3 duty. According to the police, accused went onto the houses of two people whom ihe knqy in, Tory-street, and on 'being ordered out assaulted several persons in one of tho " houses. k Subsequently, Jio violently resisted arrest, and was only overpowered by several civilians going to me assistance of the constable. -A fine of 2Gs, in default tseven days' imprisonment was imposed on each charge. On a dharg« of having .assaulted 'Martha Cunnath, a seafaring man named Thoa. Mulcaihy wan similarly dealt with, and orderod to pay witnesses' expenses. A young man named Wm. Stevens, described by the police as an associate of thieves and other i»ad characters, was charged with being a rogue and a vagabond. Mr. •Hordman, for accused, entered a plea of guilty, and explained .that (his client had work to go to. His Worship said : "My chief object is to try and do some good /or people like you. I will give you the chance tliis time by convicting and ordering you to come up for sentence when called upon." If accused k found with his old associates again ho is to be immediately -broUjght before tho Court for sentence. For insobriety four first-offending inebriates were either fined 10s, or forty-eight hours' imprisonment, or convicted and discharged with a caution.
