The Stipendiary'-"'.Magistrate' yesterday ' dealt-.with- civilclaims'in which Dr-Bowo was .the plaintiff, anil obtained judgment, in both. The first was against R. Shillito. claim 10s 6d, 'the other against H. Berry, claim £3'ss. Mr Eme>b'e appeared for both defendants. ■'--;': At the Magistrate's Court. Waimaie. on Wednesday.' before Mr T. Hutehfcon. S.M.. for supply : ng liquor to a prohibited person, James Cook was lined £2 and cciits, and the prohibited person. for receiving the liquor was fined a similar amount. Civil cases..--Judgment by default was .given in W. F. George (Mr Hamilton) v. S. Knight. £1 17s 6<l and coats 7s: Manchester Bros, and Co. v. T. Geai v. £5 6s. costs 15s; same v. T.

Mora (Mr Perry I, claim £5 7s 6d for supplying dentures, the plainCff was nonsuited with costs after hearing of evidence of both parties. We are informed by a school teacher that, Mr Buxton's Makikihi utterances about the Education Act are not in accordance with its- provisions In the first place the Act. does not come into force till 'January Ist. 1909. In the next place the Department has just declared that the, only addition that- teachers remaining hi their present, positions will receive is £5 per annum. Hence it- is evident that for most teachers-the minimum salary under the Act cannot bs reached for four years, and the maximum not for 10 years. Hence 'teachers feel .as if the Act were like the proverbial bunch of carrots. held before tin famous donkey of old! If the police are desirous of eontinu ing their praiseworthy efforts in , bring'ng logbook offenders who break the bylaws with impunity, they should set a watch this, afternoon for mot mists on thts main road between Timaru and the idiow "rounds. Last evening, after the v-how was over, the motor car nuisance wa« a verv serious one. and the wonder h that a serious accident was averted when theie was so much'traffic on the road. What the police will require if • they wt-. ■ the watch suggested, is a pair of very sharp* eyes and a note book wherein to jot down the number of any offending car as it whizzes past at lightning speed regtvrdUi s of consequences and of all other users, of the road.
