So helplessly intoxicated was a man named James Lauder as the result of drinking methylated spirits, that, when picked up in the street by a constable, he had to be removed to the Hospital for special treatment.

Harry Dunn, charged with inI ebriety, had been convicted on a preI vious occasion.

A. C. Hardy has presented to Parliament a petition signed by commercial travellers asking that the Licensing Act should be so amended as to provide for the issue of licenses in respect of houses once situated in a licensing district, who adopted no-licensa now through alteration of boundaries included in licensing districts. The case quoted is that of the Mount Somers Hotel. In June, 1903, there was a licensed house at Mount Somers (then in Ashburton electorate). Since the last , adjustment of the boundaries, Mount Somers has been included in the Selwyn district, which is not under no-license. The iaw, however, does not provide for the restoration of licenses in the case of part of a no-license district being included in a licensed district. This, the travellers submit, is inequitable and unjust. Mr. J. T. Wise, who was well known on account of his long connection with the Wellington Gas Company, died at his residence at Waiwetu this morning, after a fortnight's illness. The dei ceased, who was born in Kent sixtyeight years ago, was connected witnthe Blaenavon Ironworks in Wales before he came out to New Zealand. He arrived in this city under engagement to the Wellington Gas Company, and for twenty years he retained his connection with the company. For the greater part of the time he held the appointment of accountant. About eight years ago he resigned and went farming at the Hutt. Three years ago he was injured through his trap overturning, and he was never well after that occurrence., Mr. Wise, who was much respected, has left two sons — Mr. Walter E. Wise, of the Waiwetu, and Mr. Arthur H. Wise, of Coromandel-streefc. Sis wife predeceased him by two years. The funeral of tho young man, Thomas Donovan, who was killed in the lift well in Mr G. Winc'or's premises on Thursday, took plate at Petone yesterday. The deceased, who had only just joined the D Battery, was accorded a military funeral, there being a large attendance of members of the battery and the Petone Navals, whilst other volunteer corps were represented. The Petone Citizens' B,and played a funeral march. The body, carried on a guncarriage, was taken first to the Catholic Church and then to the Catholic graveyard at Petone West, where the last rites "were performed by Father Maples. Deceased was very popular in Petone, and this was evidenced by the very large cortege of townspeople. Representatives of Mr G. Winder's warehouse were also in attendance, besides those from ths athletic bodies of ths district. In summing up the evidence at the inquest on, Saturday, the coroner said that there was absolutely no evidence to Bhow that blame was attachable to anyone in Mr Winder's employ Edward White, a young man, appear* od before Mr. W. G. Riddell, S.M., to-day, on a charge of cruelly ill. treating a horse.' He pleaded not guilty. Evideno* was cjiven that accused severely beat a horse across the legs for jibbing while drawing an express on the Pirie-street hjll. It wag also stated that the defendant was under the influence of liquor at the time. A veterinary surgeon testified that tha animal was unfit for work, and certainly not in a condition to draw the express up the hill. The Magistrate held that accused must be convicted and penalised. A fine of £1, with costs (£1 14s), was inflicted, the option being one week's imprisonment. Mr. O%eary appeared for accused.' Wallace M'Guire was also charged ««th crurily illtreating a horse. A plea of not guilty was entered by accused, who was represented by Mr. Fitzgibbon. After hearing evidence, the Magistrate dismissed the information. He pointed out that the horse was supposed to be a strong one and its load a comparatively light one, and that it had not been proved that accused had dealt harshly or cruelly with it, although he might have struck it a little more than necessary.
