'At the! usual,/ quarterly sitting of the S.Mi Court ori Thursday next no less than , fifty-eight* civil cases are set down for hearing 1 . Of these a good nujhbor have been settled, and ,no cloubt more will follow suit before the clay. Nothing like a little blue paper for some people. ,Mr Stanford will have also to deal , with some -fifteen applications ior. renewals ' of the, old age pensions. A novel case was to have been heard at this sitting, but owing to the absence of tfie defendant, Constable Beattie was unable to serve the summons. The case is, probably the first of its kinci heard, it being a civil case brought by the Maori Com* mittee against a native -who was fined for supplying beer at a tangi at Mahoetahi pah some- few months ago. j The Committee lined the offender £2, which amount he refuses to pay, hence the case. Constable Beattie 'reported a case of burglary at Onaero on Tuesday. [ He ha» gone out to investigate.
