Same v. Walter Donnelly and also Joseph Banks, charged with driving a motor vehicle belonging to the prison departments, in the Borough without adequate lighting. Both pleaded guilty. A letter was received from the Departments explaining the position. The case was withdrawn.

THOSE CYCLISTS!

Several cases of cyclists riding on the footpath were brought before the Court on Tuesday last. His Worship, in convicting, said about three or four years ago notice had been given through the local paper warning people not to ride on the footpath, but that was a long time ago. It had been 2 an understood thing that people could ride on the footpaths in the Borough, by there being no charges brought. Now that charges had been brought it was likely that there would be many others since due warning had been given. It undoubtedly is a dangerous practice, but one would not mind so much on the outskirts, where the roads are had, if only a little etiquette was shown by these cyclists. A cyclist, generally, when coming to pass anyone on a footpath, rings his bell fiercely and if you do not jump out of the wa y instantly, tries to run you down and looks at you in a very hurt way, instead of attempting to get off his bike and walk past. If a little consideration was shown this way it might go a long way to assist.

SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.

The concert, organised by Miss D. McLellan, proved a great success on Tuesday evening at the Patriotic Hall. A 1! the items were well rendered and received by an appreciatve audience. Miss McLellan's concerts have always proved excellent entertainment and this was by no means the exeception. Her next one will be looked forward to with even greater interest.

MILK VENDOR FINED.

A local milk vendor was fined 10s and costs £1 2s 6d at the Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday last, before Mr R. M. Watson, S.M., for not having a license to sell milk in the Borough. This case was brought on by the local Borough inspector. The defendant said he had not received any notice from the Borough that he was required to take out a license and he had been selling milk here for about 10 years. His Worship said the onus was on the vendor to take out a license and if he had a copy of the Borough by-laws he would have seen it there.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Miss Emily Bayne left for Hikutaia on Friday evening, where .she is spending her annual holiday with her sister Mrs G. A. Sykes. Euchre parties are held every Monday and Thursday evenings at the Plunket Rooms. A start has been made with the concreting of the footpath in front of the Majestic Theatre at the Junction and good progress is reported. The work is being carried out by Mr L. G. Taylor.
