Dr. McArthur, the Stipendiary Magistrate, somewhat resembles the Hon. J. G. Ward, and (in more than one occasion has been mistaken for that gentleman when in Welling- ! ton. The other day. Dr. McArthur, who is now in Canterbury, was at Darfield, where ' he presided at the Court for the first time. - It was rumoured in the district (says the ' Lyttelton Times) that Mr. Ward had arrived, and several persons were waiting nt the railway station to lay certain grievances before the Minister. One gentleman begged to remind the Minister for Railways that . certain posts, which had been promised at , the station, had not been put up. The Magistrate look in the situation at once, - and informed his interviewer that the mat- - ter would be kept steadily in view. It was ■ not until a laugh went round amongst, those " who were " in the know'' that the applicant discovered his mistake. !
