ACCIDENTS.
THREATENED ACTION FOE SLANDER. AUCKLAND, June 9. A sailor named M'Masters was killed by falling from the rigging of the barque Himalaya in the harbour. A proposal will be made at the Harbour Board to-morrow to alter the constitution to enable a salary to be paid to the Librarian. The Auckland Eugby Union have telegraphed to Sydney inviting the representative team to return this way, and play a mitch against Auckland. The young man Terry, supposed to have been devoured at Wairoa South by wild pigs, was found on the road in an apparently dying condition. It is believed that he was thrown from his horse. It is understood that Mrs Patterson, landlady of the Fitzroy Hotel, intends to proceed against Mr Newman, Chairman of the City East Licensing Committee, for slander, in having said that young girls were harboured in her house.
