LOCAL AND GENERAL.

In the Supreme Court this morning, his Honor Mr Justice Adams granted an order for absolute discharge from bankruptcy in the case of Milliam Henry Conway (Mr H. D. Acland). In the case of Lionel H. Davison (Mr E. J. Ross), his Honor granted an application to .annul application for bankruptcy. remarking that the position reflected credit on bankr-upt and his friends. » An incident which (sys the “News”) is surely unique in golf annals took place on the Dannevirke links the other day. A lady member was playing up to the “ crisis” green, when her ball fell short of its goal, and. landing in the bunker, struck the greenkeeper, who happened to be working there. The man felt the impact of the ball, but an inspection of the ground failed to reveal its whereabouts. His astonishment may be imagined when he discovered the ball in his vest pocket! That ladv has now a reputation for “ holing'” under difficult circumstances which she will find it hard to live up to. On the P. and O. liner Malwa, which reached Melbourne on October 6 last from Sydney homeward bound, were eighteen Germans who have been expropriated from German New Guinea, and were returning to Germany. One of them claimed that he had gone to New Guinea twenty years ago as the manager of a plantation for a German company at a salary of £ls a month. Since that time he had accumulated £BOO in cash, and had acquired a half share in the plantation. The half share, he said, was worth £7500. All that he had been allowed was sufficient to pay the fares of himself and his family back to Germany, and £53 4s to cover hotel and other expenses. He stated that many of the others had been in New Guinea ten or twelve years, and had worked hard to improve their positions there. We produce portraiture that pleases because of its naturalness. Our prices are moderate, too.
