THE The Inangahua Times. PUBLISHED TRI-WEEKLY. FRIDA Y, JUNE 18, 1880.

Th<He was a rather lengthy sitting of the Magistrate's Court yesterday, the case o Heelop v. the manager of (he National Bunk occupying the greater part of the day. The information was dismissed, and the evidence will be found fully reported in another column. In the case of National Bank v. Union Company, claim upon two promissory notes for £27 and £10 respectively drawn by John Frentiy and endorsed by the eompnny, judgment waa given for tbe amount claimed. Mr J. M'Gaffid, tbe, manager of the company , questioned the proceeding of the bank, on the ground that a distinct understanding had been made between the company and Mr Menteath, the late manager of the bank, that the bank should proceed against the maker of the bills first. His Worship held that as the understanding was m>t reduced to writing it did not bind Mr Menteath's successor, and the bank was therefore free to elect to proceed against either party. John M'Qullian was fined 10a and costs for selling liquors in his licensed premises after 7 p.m. on Sunday last. Patrick Monahan, for permitting his chimney to catch fire was fined 5s and costs. Thomas Lynch, for cruelty to a cow was fined 20s and costs. The cow was seen lying on tbe road-side at Squaretown on Friday last, witk its leg broken, and defendant «aa informed of the fact on the same day, but he did not proceed and destroy the beast until the following Monday.

The publicans of the Liangahua b ive de* cided to form themselves into an association for tne purpose of taking combined action against tho new Licensing proposals, and for the better protection of thir interests generally. They will seek the co-operation of kindred organisations throughout tbo Cols ony. The rumor chronicled last week of the approaching contract of marriage between Prince Leopold and Miss Maynard (says the London World) is said ta be unfounded, Such an alliance would have been popular, and a beauty who has £30,000 a year is not a bad match, even for a prince of the royal blood. The Maynards have always been a popular family in Essex, and the bright pres« enoe and winning smile of the heiress of that ancient house are ever welcome -at Dunraovir, Eastonfjjpdge, near to Dunmow, whjeb. is Miss Maynard's property in her own right . is one of the finest mansions in the country and is no mean riral of Audley End— but without its wealth of artistic treasures or Down Hall. The late Viscount Maynard. the grandmother of the new beauty, for many years distributed two thousand pounls per | annum among the poor in the neighborhood of Easton. Miss Maynard attained her eighteenth birthday last December ; and it will.be remembered that the occasion was celebrated by a magnificent entertainment which cost an enormous sum, and was one of the most brilliant affairs which has been known ia Essex for a generation. Flowers were brought from Nice, and a suit of tem* porary reception rooms was erected for the occasion.
