Lieutenant-Colonel Roberts took his Seat on the Bench here for tho first time yesterday, at the usual sitting of the Resident Magistrate's Court. Colonel Roberts was welcomed by tho local bar, Messrs. Moss and Humphreys, and in reply very feelingly alluded to his previous connection with Tauranga. and to the changes that time had wrought since last he was here. Mr. John Thomson, the clerk of the Court, who has nob very long returned bo Tauranga, w»s an old comrade of Colonel Roberts. Colonel Roberts was one of the best known figures in Tauranga in the old days, and the only noticeable difference in his bold, upright, and soldierly bearing, is that the frost of old Time has tinged his beard and hair.
