(fbom oub own oobbespondents.) Napier, last night. At the R.M. Court this morning, Thomas Clarkson, late clerk to Roops Brooking, Commission Agent, who was recently adjudged a bankrupt, was charged on the information of the Deputy Official Assignee with embezzling two cheques, £2l ss. and £2 Bs. The case was remanded till Wednesday next.

The boy Hutton, charged with stabbing the boy Blom, was brought up at the B.M. Court this morning and remanded till Monday next, Blom not being sufficiently recovered to appear to give evidence. The inquest on the body of the infant ohild of Mrs Mary Kyle was resumed this morning and occupied all day, till half-past six o’clock this evening. Medical evidence was to the effect that the ohild had undoubtedly been born alive, and appeared as if a hand had been held over its mouth. The child was full grown. One witness, the woman who attended Mrs Kyle, stated that Mrs Kyle had told her that a policeman was the father of the ohild, and witness was about to give the name, but was stopped. The jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. Wellington, last night, The football match Auckland v. Wellington was played in Newton Park on Saturday, in the presence of about 4000 spectators. The weather was showery and the ground very greasy. In the first spell, from a loose rush, Ellison, of the local team, secured a try, having succeeded in getting in between the posts, and Nicholls converted the try into a goal. Towards the end of the first spell Jervis, of Auckland, secured a try, and Lecky kicked at goal, the ball striking the bar and bounding back into the field. The second spell was stubbornly fought, but there was no further score, Wellington thus winning by 8 pointe to 1. The action in which T. G, McCarthy, brewer, claimed £6OOO damages from the City Corporation for polluting a stream which ran through hie property, was decided on Saturday. The jury awarded plaintiff £250 for deprivation of water rights, and 40s as damages for the creation of a nuisance. Judgment was reserved on the question of costs,
