Says the Bay of Plenty Times :-—No less than 27 publicans out of the 43 in this district ran a risk of losing their licenses by carelessness through not sending in their proper applications. Mr Moses, solicitor, however, becoming aware of this serious omission, took steps immediately to rectify it, with the result that the 27 houses are able to keep their doors open to-day instead of being closed up probably for ever. A woman named Louie Smith got severely burned in a Chinaman's house in Wellington during a brawl, which occurred through several men forcing their way into the house on Thursday night. She died on Sunday night. Two men, named Andrew and Joseph Kennedy, brothers, were arrested on Saturday in connection with the affair, and another named Joseph Hewit, who is in oustody, is also to be charged with being concerned in it. A sad ease of accidental shooting happened at Wainui-o-mata district on Sunday morning. A young man named Herbert Palmer, 27 years of age, and a clerk in the Circulation Branch of the General Post Office, Wellington, was out pigeon shooting with his brother and two boys. Herbert fired and brought down a pigeon, and rested the gun against his thigh while he put it in the bag. While doing this he heard a flutter in a tree above, and snatched the gun up to have a shot. As he caught hold of the gun it went oil', and he received the charge in his left thigh, the shot blowing a hole clean through. The poor fellow bled to death in a few minutes, being fully conscious almost to the last that the wound was fatal. The body was taken into the Hutt. Palmer had only recently returned from San Francisco, where he had gone for a trip as mail agent.
