On Sunday a party of gentlemen drove out to Urenui, by invitation of Mr Pigott, landlord of the Urenui Hotel, to have dinner on the occasion of the opening of a new addition to tho hotel, which Mr Pigott has found necessary to erect on account of increase in business. Mr Pigott catered for his guests in the firstclass manner for which he is so wellknown. As the weather was fine the party had a ramble round tho many -pretty spots that are to be found in the vicinity of the hotel. A return to town was made towards evening, the party reaching town about 8 o'clock. All expressed themselves thoroughly delighted with the outiog, and especially with Host Pigott's hospitality. Messrs R. Parris and C. Ronnell, Justices of the Peace, presided at the Police Court on Monday morning, and disposed of the following cases : — James Devine, on remand, was discharged on Sergeant Duffin's , application, on the understanding that he took up his abode at the Old Men's Refuge. , — An inebriate was fined 5s and costs, and the issue of a prohibition order against him' was suspended till tho return of the R.M. — John Danahay, a storekeeper in Devon.street Eaßt, was fined Is, and costs 6s, for striking with a whip a boy named Richard Pearce on August 22. It appears that the defendant was annoyed by boya, but it was not proved in evidence that Pearce was one who annoyed him, although Danahay struck him under that belief. Mr Hughes appeared for Danahay. During the committee debate in the House on Sir Frederick Whitaker's Arbitration Bill, considerable amusement was caused by_ Mr Kerr objecting to somejegal Latin which occurred in clause 10 of the measure, which provides that a witness may be summoned either . by a writ of tl su h pcena adteslificandum," or of "subpwna daces team." " Will the hon. gentleman," said Mr Kerr to ' Mr Hißlop, who was in charge of the Bill, •• Will the hon. gentleman put it in English, so that we can know what it means." There was much laughter at this, but Mr P. W. Reevee, who had been egging on Mr Kerr, now came to his rescue, and said there was something to be said for having our Acts couched in English, and there was more to say if they were brought down in this extraordfhary jargon, which was certaiuly not Latin. Mr 1 Downie Stewart explained these were the names of two writs. " Why can t you say writs then," growled Mr Kerr. " You can't alter the names," replied Mr Stewart. "There is no English name for these writs. These names have come down for centuries." Finally the names were allowed to pass. C. Creagmile wishes to inform his customers and the public that he intends cl sing his premises on Saturday. Any person in want of drapery or .clothing can have goods at their own prices.
