The Star to night says that rumours were current at the Provincial Buildings this afternoon, that Mr. Wynn Williams, the Provincial Solicitor, has resigned. Some say ill-health is the reason he has resigned, ami others that he has done so because he could not stand it any longer. It is known, however, that Sir Cracroft Wilson was anxiously expecting the caucus of a few friends to consider the position. A large number of city cabmen were lined to-day for breaches of the city laws. They were undefended. Mr. Graueck, their solicitor in the previous cases declined to appear for them, and this is considered a satisfactory proof that no Haw could be found in the bylaw, aud that the long-continued light of the cabbies against the city authorities is over at last.
