The following telegram has been received from Tokomaru Bay : "At 3.55 a.m. a sharp shock of earthquake was felt. No damage was done." A letter appeared in The Post on the 27th inst. from Councillor Hill, of Napier, regarding a clause in the Washingup Bill, legalising the contributions of local bodies to the Wav Fund, and inserting the names of the Napier Borough Council and the Napier Harbour Board in the schedule giving those bodies power to give any sum up to £500 to- r wards any war fund. Councillor, Hill now writes : "I hasten to correct a clerical error in my letter that appears in your issue of Tuesday last. It is made to appear that Mr. Brown proposed the motion for a vote of £500. Councillor M'Grath proposed it, but the council gave power to the Mayor and Mr. M'Grath to expend certain amounts as they might deem necessary. My letter was written from Norsewood, where I saw the notice of motion given in Parliament by Mr. Brown, as quoted by me. I much regret having done a seeming injustice to Mr. Brown, but the position as to the vote is not altered in the slightest."

Yesterday Constable Holmes arrested a man named Arthur Heming Mudgway at Lower Hntt on a charge of stealing an overcoat, the property of D. M'Kivett. Owing to the principal witness being engaged with the Expeditionary Force, accused, who appeared before Messrs. Chapman and James, J.P.'s. this morning, was given the benefit of the doubt, and the case was accordingly dismissed.
