THISTLE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night. At the Magistrate's Court to-day, Patrick Small, a fanner at Wheatstouc, was fined £"> for failing to clear Californian thistles from his farm. Mr. Day, S.M., said it was the worst ease in regard to thistles that had ever come before him, as evidence showed that Small actually threshed a wheat crop containing matured thistle seed, thus giving the means of distribution of the seed.

The case will be heard on the 24th inst. GROUNDED AT THE BLUFF. Bhlff. Friday.
