Onawe (Akarea), the scene of the famous battle hi Maori annals, has again changed Jiands, Mr R. Pcttigiew haMng disposed of it to Mr F. Shadbolt. An amusing instance of t he parading of all tho "pomp and tircumbtanoe " of a court for an lnfinitcsairnal result occurred on Saturday at the Avon licensing meeting. There were present on the occasion (says the Press) the S.M. and hia clerk, a member of the legal profession, two members of the Fourth Estate, the sub-inspector, two constables, and two licensees. Tbe business did not occupy more than one minute. The Unlucky Bot is always getting his fingers burnt, his hand cut, or his shoulder eprained. His parents should keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm 111 tbe house. This is a liniment of superior me-rit. One application gives relief. Try it. All dealers sell it*
