Mr Bishop, S.M., at Christchurch, has given judgment for £42 and costs in an action brought by ( a cyclist against a. publican whose dogs rushed out of the hotel as he was passing, and, taking him ou both flanks, snapped and yelped around his manly calves. While endeavoring to drive them off by kicking at them he lost control of his machine, ran into a tramcar, was thrown and seriously hurt. The S.M. said ho had not the slightest doubt that the dogs were the real cause of, the accident. "If the defendant keeps dogs which behave to passers-by in the manner described by the witnesses, he can, in my opinion, be fairly held responsible for what is the probable result of the act of the dogs."

Speaking at the banquet in Bellamy*s, the Premier said that there were wellfounded rumors that libel actions were pending against a number of newspapers in New Zealand. This was on account of the alleged portraits of the Duchess of Cornwall that had been published, and which by no means did justice to her charms. The laughter with which this sally was received became uproarious when Mr Seddon added that the worst representation yet published of the Dnchess was thai; on the front of the menu card of thei banquet, and, therefore, the Governrvvent Printer would also have to be sued.

At the monthly meeting of the South Canterbury Hospital Board, held in Timaru the other day, the Chairman read a report,' as drawn up by a subcommittee appointed to enquire how, in their opinion, consumptive cases could be best dealt with. The committee fully endorsed the view expressed by Dr Munro, who had brought the matter under the Board's notice, that on grounds of humanity and in the ~ interests of public health, suitable "*" bomes should be provided for the treatment of consumptives. They recommended the Board to bring the same under the notice of the Government with a view to legislation, and also to ask the co-operation of other similar bodies. The report was unanimously approved by the Board, who decided to instruct the.secretary <to write to the Government and all Ideal authorities iv the South Island, asking them to support thei recommendations of the Board in regard to the treat- „ incut of consumptives.

The correspondent of the Waikato Times relates that among the natives who returned from Wanganui to take part in the recent demonstration was one who was suffering from pneumonia. On arrival as his destinatioa he was so unwell that a doctor was called in to see him the evening of the day before the Duke's arrival. The .physician's orders were that he was to be kep perfectly quiet and all excitement avoided. The doctor called to see the patient next morning, and after examining him repeated his orders of the previous evening. On his way out of the whare he encountered a friend of the sick man, the doctor saying in response to in- . quiries that the patient conld not last more than two hours. Native like, the si6k man was so informed. He doubted.

the truth of the statement at first; and appealed to one of the chiefs standing by, who upheld what had been told him. " Well," said the sick man, "I come all

de way from Wanganui to see this big rangatira, the Tuke, and I no like die before I see him." He then struggled into what clothes he could, despite the protests of his friends, and supported by two companions, walked near enough to the grandstand to get a view of the Royal visitors. They were pointed' out to him, and he was satisfied. . He returned to the wbare, and was dead within ten minutes.
