Prudential Insurance Co., to recover the amount of a policy of insurance by a widower on the life of his deceased wife, it was shown that her declaration at the time of making the insurance that she was in good health was false, as she suffered from aneurism of the aorta. Judgment was given for defendants. The Maori difficulty at Horahora has been satisfactory settled. The chief has given orders to abstain from obstructing the ploughing. "Wellington, Last night.
