j There are to be no Civil Sittings of the Supreme I Court ou the 7th December. j liNSivt.v Duchov.—lt is with considerable regret [we find that this gallant young otUcer, v.-ho w:ia wounded in the left kuee joint at Rangiriri, has been ) obliged to submit to the amputation of his left leg. i We are glad, however, to be able to state that he is ! progressing favourably. j Police Court, I'iuday.—The following cases j were adjourned until thin morning:—■ Henry Taylor, ■ deserting from the ' Queen of the Mersey' ; Joseph . Matthews and William ITill, assault on board the j'Queen of the Mersey'; and Maria Kuudall, for i huveny. "* NN oui. Sale. —As wilL.be..jsccnjn. our produce report's, a very successful wool sale was held yesterday morning by Mr. Alfred Auckland, at the Haymarket, when prices realise:! from a penny to a j penny half-penny per lb. higher for clean wool than I they did during the previous season, washed wools j bringing from U. fid. to le. 7 Jd,—the greater number | of samples realising from la. -Ad. to Is. sd. per lb., I wool in grease from lid. Is. Id. There were 250 j bales and j£so bags ollered for sale. i Important Sale of Leicester Rams.—Yesterday ; afternoon thirty-live rams of the superior /lock of Mr. j -J. G-rigg were offered for sale, at the Ilaymarket, by Mr. Alired TJuckland. The day a was most disadvani tagcous one for the appearance of the sheep—nevertheless there was a spirited competition, owing perhaps to the presence in Auckland at this tiino of several of the .southern flockowners, the prices obtained varied irom £0 15s. to £17. averaging nine guineas each. Matata.—lt appears that the fever which the . master of the 'Julia' reported as having proved so i fatal at Matata, in the 33ay of Plenty, both to I£uroi peans and Maoris, occurred as far back aa two | months since, and though of a malignant character, j was not that known as typhus. A party of 150 : natives, have, we are also advised, returned from the I seat of war :o their kiangas in the Pay of Plenty, | declaring that they have had enough of fighting— ; things not going quite so well with the « king" as j the\ had anticipated. Thus it will be seen that from : all portions oi the Northern Inland, south of Auek- . land, levies of men have joined the Waikato movej ment, and are consequently involved, one and all, in | P eil i»ties justly due for the cowardly rebellion in j it inch they have engaged for the purpose of sweeping , the house clean ot the " ileas"—as they eontemptu- : ou*ly styled the Kuropeans. | i in: .Supreme Court yesterday disposed of the three i'' . c^ cs ou calendar of the December sessions. lAr a., erS| ou " lc charge of discharging a rille at 1 Mi. Ihorpc, was sentenced to three yeurs imprisonment with hard labour. Francis O'Neill, on an iuI dictment ol a similar character was acquitted, and .Samuel Uowden accused by a native woman, of bavin" stolen a quantity of timber was discharged. During the altcrnoon the jurymen compained oi the rain gettiiig into the jury box, which made tlu-ir position there rather an uncomfortable one. His Honor sarcastically renmricd that it was all right, it was part of the arrangements of the Supreme Court.
