[special to the stab.] / Ja>-, 17. I There has been a hob scrimmage at the Presbyterian Synod over the disposal of the surplus of the education fund, amounting to £600 per annum. It terminated in a resolution being carried that the money be devoted to the endowment of a chair of moral philosophy. This makes the second theological chair established by the Synod. A j>rotest against the decision was signed by 13 of the most influential members. One of the ministers said that "nine-tenths of the , people of Otago were perfectly indifferent Miow the money was dealt with." At the Police Court to-day, an elderly Scotch woman named Lockie was ordered to pay a fine of £5 and coat 3, or suffer one month's imprisonment, and also bound over to keep the peace, for committing an aggravated assault on an Irish woman twice her size. The victim of the assault presented a frightful picture, her eye 3 and their surroundings b:.-ing of a dark chocolate, and she exhibited a parcel .of hair, sufficient for a chignon, which had been torn from her head.
