At one time it was an offence to drive a cart containing pig-swill through the public streets after a certain hour each morning. This by-law has since been repealed, but the swill must now be placed in receptacles approved by the City Engiheer. The first prosecutions under the riew by-law were heard to-day, when fines of 5s with costs were imposes upon Edwin Burgess, Francis Clarence Cassidy, Thomas Reeves, and Harry j Thurley. ' Two well-known female offendersMay Gibbons and Annie Murdoch — both charged at the Magistrate's Court to-day with drunkenness, were each sen f to gaol for one month. The former was given the option of a £2 fine. Patrick Brady, likewise well known to frequenters t of the Police Court, was sent away for a similar term William Davis was fined £2 for insobriety, in default seven days In gaol, and Patrick Connelly and John Sullivan were each fined 10s. Four first offenders were dealt with, and they received lenient treatment at the hands of Mr D. G. A Cooper, S.M., who (was on the bench. Some damage was done by fire and water, between 6 and 7 o'clock last night, to a portion of the stock and fittings in a warehouse in Blair-street. The origin of the outbreak is a mystery. The building, which is owned by Messrs. R. Hudson And Co., of Dunedin, for whom Mr Walter Smallbone is local agent, is insured in the Royal Exchange office for £2500, and the same company has a risk of £1450 on the stock belonging to Messrs. Hudson and Co. and Mr Smallbone. The fire was discovered in a peculiar way by Mr H. Yeoman, of Yeoman and Barker, who lease a por« tion of Hudson's building. Having forgotten to close the fire-proof door between his firm's workrooms and the Globe Printing Company's premises (on the upper floor) he returned at 6.25 o'clock to repair the omission and found smoke issuing from Mr. Smallbone's store. He at once gave the alarm and the Brigade promptly suppressed the flames. At Tjentham to-morrow the Karori Rifle Club will begin its club championship series. The ranges will be 300 and 500 yards ; seven shots at each.
