MAGISTRATE’S COURT. The regular sitting of the Marton Magistrate’s Court was held on Wednesday, Messrs A. C. M. Parkinson and A. J. B. Sicely, J’sP. presiding. There were a number of adjournments in civil cases and two minor police offences, so the sitting was short. Two statutory first offending inebriates, strangers to the town, were convicted and discharged. Constable Hercock gave evidence of arrest, made on Tuesday in Broadway. Each had spent his money save a shilling or two and each was going to a job. The bench commented that in times of stress par ticularly, it was very foolish to spend their money in that manner.

The inspector of stock and noxious weeds proceeded against S. R. Ham mond for having lice-infested sheep. The case was not a very bad one. A fine of 10s was imposed, with costs 12s. In the civil proceedings A. Grade, claimant, was awarded 15s; costs 15s against Frank Taite. HOCKEY CLUB GUESSING COMPETITION. The Marton Men’s Hockey Club’s competition was won by Miss R. Munse, Palmerston North. Mr E. Downs, Marton, was second. RANGITIKEI .JUNIOR RUGBY. Ohingaiti journeyed to Marton where they met Athletic on Marton Park. Notwithstanding the splendid conditions which prevailed the match proved disappointing, both sides showing little or no understanding. The game had not been in progress long when F. Mclntyre crossed for the visitors, R. Bartleet converting with a good kick. Athletic were the next to score Watson diving across after the red and black forwards had hammered away for some time. Wilson could not improve the score. Prior to half time being called Taylor made a strong run from outside the twenty-five mark and aided by weak attempts at tackling scored in a handy position. Wilson had no difficulty in adding the points. The second spell was very evenly contested and was productive of brighter football than the first. Ohingaiti, if anything, having a territorial advantage. In the last few minutes of play Leo made a tricky run and passed to Roach to Glengarry, who crossed for an unconverted try, and put the issue beyond doubt. Rev. B. D. Ashcroft refereed. LADIES’ HOCKEY. MARTON ATHLETIC (2) v. HALCOMBE ATHLETIC (1). On No. 2 ground at Marton Park, a ver yinteresting match was played between Halcombe Athletic and Marton Athletic.
