Tkr busiues* at the sitting of the R.M. Court yesterday wan exceedingly light, there being only two cases brought on for hearing. John Wood v. Moses Neitl, claim £7 for grazing too horses. Judgment for amount with co«t«. D. Murphy v. H. H. Adams, claim £37 Us 4d for work done and produce supplied. Judgement (or plaintiff £25 11s 4d, and costs £2. In the Warden's Court proceedings were taken by the Mining Inspector against certain persons occupying licensed holdingi at Tui crei'k and Waiorongomai for allowing their claims to remain unworked. In each case the ground was declared by the Warden to be forfeited. The engineer for this riding of the Piako County, Mr F. Pavitt, has received instructions to prepare estimates for the thorough formation of Whitaker and Bridge-streets on their |>erinanent levels. Although these two streets are the main thoroughfares in the town, they have had very little more attention given to them by thr county th.in if they were biibh tracks. With the opening of the railway in a few weeks, traffic in both streets will be greatly increased, and it is to bo hoped the Council will decide at once upon calling for tenders for these much needed works so that they may be taken in hand and completed before the approach of winter. Tenders for the erection ef a new building instead of the present shed now standing over the No. 2 bath were opened at the meeting of the domain board on Saturday, j The contract has been let to Mr F. Booth, | who will proceed at once with the work as soon as the timber is on the ground. Another building over a spring immediately j above No. 2is now almost completed and the bath ready for use. The waters of this spring are of a pleasant temperature and are likely to be largely used. Other works are in contemplation and will shortly be proceeded with. Our township has been favoured with a visit from the evangelists, Messrs Thomas, Lords, and Bycroft, who have taken up their quarters in a large tent erected by them in the Wesleyan Chapel reserve. They have held frequent services, both open air and in door, but their ministrations have not been largely attended. The six roomed building in Bridge-street, formerly occupied by Mr J. Lawrence, was disposed of by auction on Monday, and realised the aum of £110.
