£Pee United Press Association]. Wellington, July 14. The warrant for the execution of Sheehan, the Amberley nr.urderer, was posted south to-day and it is expected that the sentence will be carried out about this day week. The volunteer officers have decided to welcome the new Governor by a ball on a date convenient to His Excellency. The question of remission of a portion of the fine inflicted* on the Assyrian was reserved. His Honor thought that while power was given to Stipendiary Magistrate to reduce the fine no such power was held by the Judge.

Waters was charged at the Police Court, to-day, with falsifying the share register of the Fiery Cross Gold Mining Coy. The solicitor for the Coy stated that the share register had been increased by 8000 shares. They would proceed with the first charge, which involved 3000 shares on a certain page of the register under the heading "W. H. Waters, in trust." There also appeared to the credit of Waters 3000 shares. Evidence would be given to prove that these were bogus shares.
