INTERPROVINCIAL.

[Br Telegraph.— Press Association.] 'WELLINGTON, To-dat. Despite the verdict of tho jury at the inquest on W. P. Spreat, who was shot dead by Louis Sand«rson, his stepson, on Saturday week, tho police intend to proceed with the charge of murder preferred against Sanderson. The Tainui left Plymouth for Port Chalmers on 11th inst, and the Arawa from New Zealand left Rio for London on the 25th inst., with her cargo of meat in good condition. The Police have received information that Mrs Simmex died last night at Carterton through poison being administered in mistake for medicine, fche labels having been put on the wrong bottles. A skeleton was found yesterday on the Flaxbourne run, fifty-five miles from Blenheim. A mounted constable is making inquiries. Louis S. Sanderson on a charge of murder was before the Courh again thil morning and remanded until Friday. John Reginald, alias Crawford, was committed for trial on false pretences, and John Douglas and James Collins for assault and robbery. A correspondent of the Standard writes :— " The following instance of the pitiful ignorance that exists in Ireland as to tho effect or meaning of Home Rule may interest your raaders. A few days ago a lady residing not far from Dublin was surprised when the servant came and told her that a certain workman had called aud asked permission to look over the house. As she had known the man some time she made no objection, although, naturally, she thought it a strange request, and before he left she asked, him why he wanted to see it. On this he naively explained that they had had a meeting in the village and drawn lots for the various properties in the neighborhood, which they were to have when the Home Rule Bill passed. He had drawn her house and just wanted to inspect his lot." „ _j
