A Ross telegram says : — Since November last over 1200 acres hare been applied for and recommended m the Warden's Court as special claims for gold mining purposes. Three companies, representing « total capital of £204,000 having been successfully floated, are now busily opening out. They are called the Koss United (area 300 acres), Prince of Wales (100 acres,) ard Donnelly's Creelc (60 acres) Companies. ♦ The amount of wages paid per week by them totals up to over £1000, and the population of last census was 1200. In the equse oelebre, Brewery Company v- WolJerinan, tried yesterday m tbe It. M. Court, Mr Hawkins conducted the case for defendants, and was assisted by Mr Baker, of Hankins and Biker, Mr Esam, instructed by Mr Perkins, appearing for the plaintiffs. A little confusion arose as to the method to be pursued by counsel m examining witnesses, viz., as to" whether both on either side could examine oa crossexamine the same witness. His "Worship ruled that Mr Hawkins might conduct the examination -in-chief and Mr Baker re-examine on Mr Esam's crossexamination, but that one counsel alone should act at each separate stage. A cooperative store is being established m I'eilding with a capital of £10,000 mLI shares. Pour of the local storekeepers have subscribed for LIOOO worth ol shares each.

Several additions are made to the long list of entries for Mr G. M. Snelson's sale to take place at his room to-mor - row at 2 p.m. Mr Snelson's Saturday's sales have long been a popular institution and we have no doubt the mart will be crowueu as usual. It will be observed tbat specis.l meetings of both the Englihs and Scottish Masonic Lodges are convened for Sunday ntxt for the purpose of attending the funeral of the late Bi other E Marsh. In reference t<> this we have been asked o -"-late that members of all deg r ees are requesied U> attend Mr Bowron informs us that he intends lecturing on tb< dairying industry, at Feilding ou Wednesday evening next It was his intention to lecture at Jt'aU nurston on the following evening, but as the Borough elections take place on that day it as b-eo thought advisable to lecture on Friday evening instead. Mr B. Hallenstein of the firm of Hallenstein Bros, and Mr Ahlfeldt manager of the Wauganui Branch of , the New Zealand Clothing Factory were m Palmerston to-day on business connected with the opening of tbe branch institution here. In the R,al. Court yesterday, a defendant who appeared to answer a juugment summons complained of the excessive charge made for mileage m service of the summons The sum was 355, whereas, defendant stated, he was at the time living at Mount Stuart, about 12 miles from Palmerston. In explana* don of this the bailiff, Mr Graff, said be had to visit many other places before he succeeded m finding defendant, and had thought it right to charge for his travelling. His Worship, however, pointed out that this could not be done. The bailiff could only charge for the actual mileage from Palmerston to the place of residence of tbe person upon whom the summons was served, even if he bad to travel all over the country to find him As a counterprise to this, however, the bailiff could charge the fee for mileage even if he served the sum" mons immediately outside the door o the Court- Lite a policeman's a bailiff's lot is not altogether a happy one, but the fact that he is entitled to charge for what it may happen he does not do, should prove a crumb of comfort Tbe English mail via San Francisco closes at ralmerstoa this evening.
