A late telegram from Napier stated that a Poverty Bay settler named Frazer had been committed for trial for shooting a horse, the property of a Mr Bremgan, late of Napier. The cause of the act was a boundary dispute. The horse, it is said, was shot while Mr Bremgan was on his back. One Catherine Brown, who had been wronged by a man named James Marks, near Kyneton, Victoria, took the law into her own hands and shot him, but not fatally, because he persistently refused to keep hu promise and marry her. The woman was enceinte, and was desperately enraged at hie perbdy. She was arretted and remanded.
