The report of an important case recently heard before Judge Broad, and sent up for appeal to the Supreme Court, which upheld his decision, will be found e'sewhere. The case is of considerable interest to those concerned in Mining Companies. An accident occurred about 8.30 a.m. today, through which Honry Gribble, a young man in the employ of Mr Eatwell (of the Maitai dairy) bad his left arm brokan above the elbow. It appears thst he was driving a milk cart down Hardy sfcrset, when at the crossing in Wellington street (near the rear of Look Bros.) the horse turned sharply and fell, throwing the young man out with cons siderable force. Medical aid was sought for, and the arm was set. A football match will be played in the Botanioal Reserve on Saturday afternoon between the Prince Albert and Nelson Clubs. The following are the nam«s of the players : — Nelson : Glasgow (2), Smith, Atkinson, Kelly, Dunoan, Ledger, Oresswell, Oldham (2), O'Brien, Trolove, Bolton, Webster, and Dryer. Prince Alberts : J. Wainhouse, Infield, Bethwaite, Simpson, Stallard, Hargreares, Barnett, Wilby, Sherwood, Folckman, Crisp, Whiting, Bennett, Guy, and Low. The contents of Mr Karuten's auction rooms, comprising furniture and sundries as advertised will be sold by auction to-mor-row at 1030 a.m. We are tskcd to remind tboss intore»ted thai, all shares in tbe Owen QaM'tz Crashing Company forfeited for non-payment of calls will be sold by pnblio aootioa at M»Bsrs Reeves & Cob. effice on Sa'-urdny at i.oon. As there is a s'rotig probability of thie Company's property being purchased by a Chris--ohurch syndicate at onos, it is nok lik-ly that there will be many shares unredeemed on Saturday, Judge Richmond has shown Httlo mercy to Jhe man Hind, who wa« found guiUy of the far too pr»v»lent crime sf arson, having passid upon him Ihe henvy aent»io« of 21 years' imprisonmanb witb hard labor, A f«w more each examples and the daily papers would not cofttain so many rep»rta of fires from all parts of the colony, . A Wellington paper Btates that many residents of Petone experienced a singular inconvenienoe as the result of the late storm. The dense Bhowers of spray flying over the township {salted the water-tanks to such an extent as to render the contents quite unlit for domestic nse. Residents living half-a-mile from the bsach had their domestic water supply spoiled from this cause.
