A Christchurch shopkeeper having repeatedly missed cigarrettes from his window, near a broken pane, set a rattrap, and in few minutes had the pleasure of seeing the thief caught by the hand. Dunedin*, June 14. Another wire rope tramway is to be constructed in Dunedin, similar to the Koslyn one. This one will proceed up High-street, which is very steep, to Mornington suburb.

Both karties are are armed, and Commissioner Clendon has gone to effect a settlement of the difficulty. This day. It is reported in Alexandra that Rewi proceeds to Waitara, to stop the Land Court there, if possible. Westport, June 14. At the Resident Magistrate's Court to-day, Haselden, solicitor, proceeded against John Tyrrell, proprietor of the Evening Star, for libel. After plaintiff had given formal evidence, defendant commenced to cross-examine him, with a view to showing the statements he published to be true. Plaintiff declined to answer the questions, and the acting-magistrate (Baker) up-held him. The case was adjourned until the 26th instant to allow defendant to obtain professional assistance. The ground for the libel is comment in the open column of the Star upon Haselden's defence in the case of Powell v. the County Council, in which the Council was defeated. Wellington, June 15. Referring to the accident to the steamer Westport on Wednesday, it appears that a telegram received yesterday stating that the stern was broken and twisted, was incorrect — instead of stern, the message should have stated stem, which, of course, makes the damage very much less.
