New Zealand Mail, Issue 1266, 4 June 1896, Page 9

During the five months of this year ended on Sunday b'Jii criminal cases and V.)~',) civil eases were heard in the Wellington Magistrate's Court. The figures for the month of May were—Criminal, l.'iu'; civil, 111. No matter how small the quantity of liquor imbibed by a man, if it is sufficient to cause him to act to tho public annoyance in such a way as he would not have done had lie not taken any, that man must bo hold to be drunk. So ruled Mr Martin, S.M., on Saturday,

Advices have been received that the Monowai, with English and American mails, left San Francisco for Auckland on May 28th (time-table date).

if another morning paper should bo starfcel in Wellington—and it is rumoured that arrangements are being made to that end—it will collapse at no very distant date. The New ZEALAND Timbs has been much improved of late, and has a good hold on the public, and those who are anxious to toy with a new paper may have money (of thi.s thero is a doubt), but certainly they are wanting in common sense.--Manairata Fanner, ____^___^__^_
