On Wednesday Mr F, Cassin was njure while practising for the Hussar tournament hrough his horse falling on him. Mr Bromfield, an Auckland solicitor, had bis leg amputated at the thigh feou Wednesday, owing to injuries received in a coach accident. At a meeting of the Committee of theP.B. Turf Club on Thursday a letter was received from Mr R. Waake, complaining of the state of the hurdles at the Spring Meeting. The Committee agreed to prevent a recurrence of the cause of the complaint. In the Resident Magistrate’s Court, Dunedin, a few days ago, Mr Carew gave a decision of some general interest. A m£n wan sued for rent cgfe, but it was proved that the house was rented by his wife before their marriage, and there was no proof that he acquired or became entitled to any property from or through his wife. Mr Carew held that the defendant was not liable for use and occupation of the house, as the wife held possession by virtue of her previous contract. A few daya ago (says an Auckland paper) a disturbance of a rather serious nature took place at the Palace Hotel, Te Aroha, between about half a dozed natives and some Europeans. It would seem that the origin of the quarrel was a debate on the relative worth of the Maori and the Pakeha, which was taken up with so much vigor, particularly by the dark-skinned brethren, some of whom claimed the best of the argument, and demanded drinks from their opponents, but the whites were not on. Both parties then became very noisy, and the host separated th m, relegating them to different rooms. Peace reigned until the white men’s qrarters were invaded by a Maori named Long Dave, who wished to be scciable. A disturbance followed, in the course of which the landlord waa thrown down and trampled upon, and a native was.struok with a chair, receiving an ugly scalp wound. By this time the police arrived and marched a Maori and a European off to gaol. The two men were brought up at the Court next morning, and after hearing the evidence the Magistrate dismissed the charge, remarking that there were faults on both sides, particularly with the publican for giving them liquor until they were drunk.
