LOCAL AND GENERAL, • m ■ Th© Postal' authorities advise that the c.«, Wairhnoo which l^ft Sydney at noon on Saturday hae on board »n Australian mail. Sh6 ia dt» to arriw in Wellington to-morfow. Some inconvenience has been caused at tho Town Ha-fl through the arrival of deputations recently, without previous notification of their intention to waiC on the Mayor. The Town Cterk (Mr. J. R. Palmer) 'will be pleased to make appointments and arrangements for the reception of deputation*, provided that sufficient notice is given in advance. The Keynoldft-Petersen. case (alleged use of an instrument) should com© beiote the Court of Appeal in a day vr two. When the accused were chanted in the Supreme Court, the Chief Jn«- j tice (Sir Robert Stout), aaid bii impres- ! sion was that he thought he muet tell the jury that the coirobomtion waa too slight, but he reserved leave to the Crown to apply to the Court of Appeal otu the evidence to s&y whether that direction was right or wrong. Rev. B. H. Ginger writes:— "ln your issue last evening, Inspector Hugo is stated to have reported to the Hut* Borough Council concerning the Weftleyan Suaday'School as follows!— "It is a dangerous thing to license this building to seat 170 persons, provided aa it is with only one small door, and that opening inwards. Such a teport is simply amazing in face of the facts. There are two doors— one at each end of the building, each 2ft 10in clear, and ftt least one opens outwards." What promiees to b* an exceedingly, pretty church is being built at Roseneath for the Presbyterian congregation there. The seating accommodation will be for about one hundred and Jorty at fifty people. The builder is Mr. M'Kenzie, of Sutherlattd-raad, Mebrose, who carries out the work by day labour. The architect is Mr. Tnrabull, of this city, who has prapared the plane and specifications, and takes the oversight of the work, free of charge. The foundation stone will be laid with the usual ceremonies on Saturday, 19th August at 3 p.m. It is expected that Mr. J. G. W. Aitken will perform the ceremony, The church will probably be opened ' for Divine worship early in October hext, Sheak-thievea and vandals have com- ! mitted some specially mean offence* against the general public at Seatoun and Rona Bay. Two life-bHoys have been stolen from the Seatoun Wharf, and half of another one has been hacked away, At the Rona Bay Whaff the lines of life-buoys have been cut ofi and appropriated, and the hand-rail leading from the decking down the steps has been broken off and carried away. "These offences are particularly mean," said the Harbour Board's chairman, Mr. Fletcher, to-day, "The thieves have taken things specially needed for cases of emergehcy.'' Enquiries are being made, and th« board is determined to press for salirtory puniflhffieflt if a conviction is secured.
