FLOOD WATERS RECEDING. A Christchurch Association message states that the weather is fine to-day and the fiood waters are receding in most districts, though twenty houses is Beckenham are still empty, as the water there is almost as high as yesterday. Much damage has been caused by mud. DEBTS AND SICK WIFE—LAPSE FROM HONESTY. Faced with many debts and with his wife in ill-health, Angus Gordon Foster, aged thirty-six, a salesman, took the course of getting money by issuing valueless cheques. He was arrested on board the Tahiti at Wellington, and to-day appeared at Christ church before Mr Mosley, S.M., when he pleaded guilty to four charges of false pretences. He was sentenced to a month’s imprisonment, with hard labour.—Press' Association.
