Charles Walker suod Thomas Plaskett for wages, alleged to be duo for sorvioos rendered as a wool buyor and washer. Tho evidoneo in tho o»8O was very oonfliotinp, and as tho Court was unablo to deoido on whioh side tho (ruth restod tho plaintiff wna nonauitod. Tho Court then adjourned, Tho aitting of tho Warden's Court yo«tor» day was ocoupiod during th o wholo of tho aftornoon with tho caso of Robinson v. tho Hopoful Company.

Brown haa, wo bollovo, fllod a contra olaim against Bawson for about £80, The caso is likely to bo a knotty ono, Tho " buater " has, wo observo, alighted upon anothor mare's nest, It» pvQpriotors are itching to got hold of tho County Elcc tor&l \lo\\a, and boing unnblo to do so seek to magnify their own disappointment and mom tifloation into a publio quostion. Th« facts of tho oase mny bo briefly stated as follows : In August last tho proprietor of this papor wns askod if he would print tho Electoral Rolls of the County and njjroed to do so gratuitously provided thufc ho wa.» allowed th« ri^ht af selling at a reasonable prico, printed copies of tho roll. Upon this offpr boing raado publio a similar undertaking was at onoo volunteorod by ths apposition, Tho two ofttrs oamo bofo-a the Council for consideration and as the Times is the County Gu?otto, a d dooa all the Council odvorliting gratuitously, it wus dooidfid and very fujrly too, that tho propriotor of this pupor had tbo first olaim for oonsidoration, and thoroforo his offer was ao< ooptod, Tho Herald proprietors havo sinoo boon itching to gei hold of copies of tlio roll in order that tboy may forostall us, but liava boon disappointed, and honoo tho call nnd wormwood of yesterday. Tho electors of the County may Sfcfoly rely that tho wholo of tho rolls will bo forthcoming in atnplo timo for th.> onauina olootiona, as theyjhave beon in tlio press for somo timo but thoir publication liai beon aomowhat dcluyod owing to tho faot that iwo mombors of our atftft" hnvo boon uponding a ycry enjoyable plonsuro excursion in llokitika at tho invitation and oxpenso of tho opponllon, Tho Union Company's works aro progress* infl rory suti»faotorily, and it ia regarded aa cortain that, tbo company's muohinory will bo in full operation early in tho month of Dooem* her noxt. Tho news from tho Devil's Oroek di»tviot ooniinucH of the most onoouraging nature, Bon'.o of tho stono brought to town from tho Golden Point olaim is exceptionally rich, and during the last week or ten days oonsidoraablo Bpi'culation in shares in that vicinity has tukcu plaoo, and that part of the district has ovcy ohnnce of tuking the lead during the coming summer, A Bmiirfc shook of rartbquako was dis linotly folt in Rocfton, on Monday night, at 11 o'clock, Aa showing tho superior safoty of railway travelling as compared with ooaohing, we quote from tho official annual return cf nccidont* to Jifo and limb i— ' On tho North Island railwuys.thoro woro no passengers oithor killed or injured. On the Middlo Inland railways, Christohuroh sootion, ono puasongov wus killod and ono injurod, both pnr»ons having boon tho victims of ' their own misconduct or want of oaution.'

Surely tho proprietors of tho Herald must bo Wolahmon, Tho Timaru Horald, though Bomotimos con* (aining articles written with tho highest ability and vigor, has jot by its conduct justly earned the reputation of boing n bully, a liar, A ooward, and a onouk. Tho articlo about Johnny Martin was a magnificent ono. Wo road it with tho greatest dolight.^lt hit hard and it hit homo. And now tho Timaru Herald ha« spoiled evorrthing by apologising to Johnny Martin, Good hoavonsl only to think of tho depths of degradation to whHi a public journal can fall whioh apologise* undor moh oireumstaiiOos.
