As ,i result of the meeting, it, was resolved, on l.ha motion of the Mayor, seconded by Councillor Ball, that th© present planking b& removed from the bridge, and the oin bluegum timber obtained by the Borough Engineer be putdown, tan-ed. > and sanded ; further, that the suspension rods be screened up and painted, and the ropes also be painted, and the pier heads be dressed with oil. Karori folk were in evidence at tho Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon. There was a dispute as to the owner* ship of a horse, which was a sort of "Jinks' s baby." It had been put on n< Furmfor a trial, and having been found wanting was allowed to wander on a public road, whence it was impounded by tho borough poundkecper. Tho Borough Council (for whom Mr. T. 0. A. Hislop appeared) proceeded against Richard John Tarr, mainly for the upkeep of the horse. Defendant denied tho ownership of the animal, stating he had leased his farm, for five years, but tho lessee threw it up after a few months. Mr. ( Biddell dismissed the information, stating 5 that he was not prepared to convict on the evidence tendered, but refused to allow costs applied for by Mr. Salek, defendant's solicitor, As showing what a fine art cargo broaching has come to, a Ideal business man told a Manawatn Standard reporter of the circumstances by which he had been victimised by those thieves. He happened to indent a supply of copper vases and kettles. The goodß duly arrived at the port, the shipment com* prising fourteen cases in all. Ab regards broached goods, tho custom is, if the ease should show indications of hay« ing been tampered with, to immediately return it to the agents in Now Zealand, thus refusing to take delivery. In this case the cases Were bound with hoop iron and everything appeared intact. But on opening up tho case o, rude shock awaited the shopman, for he found his shipment gone, with the exception of one article. Closer investigation rovealcd that the nails had been skilfully prized out and the Jioop iron pulled over the end. A nine-inch plank had then been gently forced. Inside the case the articles had been packed in a cardboard box 20 inches by 9. and tho waterproof covering was folded from the centre to the side of the case. Tho broacher after raising the plank had evidently cut the covering, and gradually removed the contents. Finger stains of a dirty oily appearance were all over tho inside boards and paper, The fact that out of sixteen cases in the consignment—fourteen containing ironmongery and two fancy goods— tho latter only were _ broached, gives rise to the impression that those responsible were evidently people who had Knowledge of tile contents ot the and this view is that of the victimised merchant. The Slate of California is just now experimenting with a somewhat novel coui'se of procedure in legislative methods (writes The Post's San Francisco correspondent). It has in thepftßfc been complained that noxious legislation has been enacted before the people at, largo have had an opportunity to examine it and utter any protests they may wish to utter. To overcome this flaw in the law-making machinery tho Legislature now meote in what is called a bifurcated session. That is, there is a preliminary meeting of one month during which Bills aie introduced and emers'oncy legislation poised ; such emergency egislatiou requiring a two-thirds vote of each House. At the end of the i«o»th the Legislature adjourns fof a similar period, and then reconvenes to cotmidor and pass Bills. This year the in.iovavation is in foi^c for the n'isl. time. Tho first pait of tho dWde« ietoion is over, aud the month of February is set apart for cf.nsidwittion of the purposed lcgi&' Jation by tho public. In this tho;/ will bo aided by the legislalois. Vov _ instance, tho membevs from San .I'vjncisoo have announced a scries of open meetings to bo held in this city afc which the legislators wiil disccKa with the \olers The mecsmes Unit have been introduced affecting San l'Vaticibco m* tho State at large. Oalherings on thu same linos wiil be held all over California. Knll sets of all Bills before the Legislature will be stationed at contra! points, tn cities the sets ivill, be found n.i, tho I Chambers nf Commerce and w thecoun- [ try districts at the public schoolrooms. The friends ol' this new legislative wrinkle contend thftt it mttnis genuine popular go\ eminent aA tho least pot,* Bible cost to the people.
