BIBLE CLASS RALLY. In the Presbyterian Church on Sunday the combined Bible classes of Feeding held their annual rally, there being a large attendance of members. Rev. F. Copeland had charge of the service, the Scripture lesson was rend by Rev. D. R. McDonald, Divine blessing was asked by Adjutant Fraser, and the address was given by Rev. D. J. Davies, vicar of Terrace End. Air A. E. Matheson presided at the organ. Rev. Air Davies spoke with his customary eloquence on Wordsworth’s lino, “We live by admiration, hope and love,” pointing out that by admiring the beautiful, good and the true the soul and character were moulded. Young people should admire the highest in literature, in music, in religion, he said. The capacity to admire should be cultivated, as it was only by application and hard work that our characters could be built up. By apt illustrations from his scientific and literary knowledge, the speaker made his message plain and telling.

WOOL AND LAAIB CARTAGE. From information received at the Feilding railway station, it is shown that the hold-up at the Feilding freezing works has resulted in large numbers of lambs being railed elsewhere for slaughtering. The first special stock train left Feilding on Sundav night with a total of 3000 head on hoard, the consignment being for Wellington. Every year quite an appreciable number of lambs and sheep pass through Feilding for other freezing works, but these lambs were loaded at Feilding. and point to the fact that tile trouble in the freezing industry has deprived the local works of considerable business.

In regard to wool, a total of 4200 bales have left Feild ing by rail so far this season. This is a greater number than went forward over the same period last year and indicate that the farmer is desirous of using the national system of transportation of his wool when it is convenient and' payable to do so. MAGISTRATE’S COURT. Mr R. M. Watson. S.M., was on the Bench at to-day's sitting of the Magistrate’s Court. CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Thomas Lammas was charged with having assaulted Edward Moran. For defendant, Mr Pagan reminded the Court that- the case had come forward several times already and defendant had pleaded guilty. Counsel submitted that defendant had had provocation, as ho could not get Moran nut of his house, where he had been given lodging earlier by defendant. Counsel asked that the case be dismissed as trivial. In regard to the broken rib

which Moran had complained of, coun*?l pointed out that Aloran had at first stated that he had nn injured rib.

The Alagistrate said that a doctor's certificate had been put forward in regard to the broken rib and the Bench could not overlook that. Sergeant Cahill detailed the circumstances of the assault and asked that the case be not dismissed as trivial, as the assault had been a serious one. The l*act3 of the case ns they appeared to the Alagistrate were that Lammas had been good enough to take Aloran in at considerable inconvenience to himself and his family. Having got into the house, the Alagistrate said, Aloran’s refusal to get out was 'bvorso than a plague of grasshoppers.” The assault the Magistrate was obliged to treat as serious, and Lammas would be convicted and ordered to pay medical expenses amounting to £3 3s, and costs.

At one time, the Alagistrate added, he had considered the idea of an allowance to Aloran. but his subsequent conduct in regard to the case had caused the Alagistrate to decide against such a step. BREACH OF LICENSING ACT. t Arising out of a visit paid to the Empire Hotel, Feilding, bv Sergeant Cahill and Constable Pike on the night of December 12 last the following were each fined £1 10s, with 10s costs, for being on licensed premises after hours: —G. Childs. W. Cawlev, T. Kilmartin. H. Zweibruck, T. Clark. R. Baldock. R. Weglleans was fined £2, with 10s costs, on a similar charge. OTHER CHARGES.

i . Tho recent fatal accident on the Feild- : ing-Waituna West Road was mentioned . when the police asked leave to withdraw a charge of riding a cycle at night without a light showing preferred against the late John Thomas AlcCaughern. Arising out of the same accident, C. Whiteman was convicted and fined 10s, with 12s costs, for riding a bicycle without lights showing. The Alagistrate said there was no need for him to enlarge upon the danger attendant, upon people riding bicycles without lights. Ir. this case it wits quite clear that neither of the persons had lights and that, of course, very many times increased the risk of injury. For driving a car without being the holder of a license to do so, K. White, of Kiwitea, was fined £l, with 10s costs. A similar charge was preferred against F. Nesdale, of Kimbolton, who suffered a like penalty. Failing to'keep to the left of the centre line nn the highway through I the Alanawatu Gorge cost' Florence Barnes, of Palmerston North, £2 with 10s costs. | CIVIL LIST.
