(By Telegraph.) Auckland, Sept. 30. The body of Stuart Jameson, the missing Onehunga oysfcerman, was found at Wilks Island, Slanukau. No further news has beeu received redpectiug tho wreckage found near Port Macquarrie. There is reason to believe tlint the name on the board found may possibly be that of the schooner Sovereign, of Auckland, which was dismasted m a gale off the Australian coast Borne weeks ago. There were 100 cases m tho Resident Magistrate's Court to-day, principally for debt. E. Greening, a well dressed woman, was arrested while trying to purchase laudanum at a chemist's. She had threatened to poison herself. Just as tho Tnrawern, was leaving the wharf a levanter, booked for Melbourne was nrrested for attempting to abscond from his creditors. Two local dairymen are being prosecuted for selling adulterated milk. Mr Justice Gillies presided at tho Supreme Court to-day for the last time prior to taking a year's leave of absence.

Tho Postal Department hnd m contemplation the establishment of a parcels post m the colony, but the matter will bo doferred nntil the New Year at least, nnd possibly till tbe expiry of the financial year. Tho outbreak of scab m the Wairarapa district is supposed to be at present confined merely to some sheep which have been running wild m a patch of bush on Government land. Tho place is very remote and far from a telegraph station, which accounts for no news having beon received from Inapector Bailey. CjnnSTCntrßCH, Sept. 30. At the Resident Magistrate's Court to-day, George Pitt, a brewer, was fined the full penalty, £5, for supplying ten gallons of beei to a person under a prohibition order.
