A minor point in- connection with the defeat, of the Government (says the New Zealand Herald) is that five members of the Cabinet—Messrs Hawken, Young, F. J. Rolleston, Wright, and Williams—not having been Ministers for three years, will relinquish the title “honourable” when the Government goes out of office—that is, assuming that it does so this year, and the general • expectation is that it will.. Messrs Hawken, Young, and Rolleston were appointed to the Ministry on January 18, 1926, Mr Wright on May 24, 1926, and Mr Williams on June 12, 1926.

The man was arrested on a charge of fraud at Palmerston North ■ and on being searched the ring was found as stated. When asked about it, the man said he had seen a woman at Feildhm drop it in the street, and he picked it up, intending to return it. He changed his mind, however, and kept it. The woman informed the police she had not been wearing the ring, but kept it in a jewel box at home, and had seen it there the day before she was supposed to have ost it. W hoever took it out of the box left some other valuable pieces there. u gh -?. n,y 13 wiles from London the Kent'sh village of Kcston suffer from an overdose of foxes, the inhabitants beTtirinSS; ■* ” ißlt * ““ ho< " ii "'
