Danevirke "Court". The court as most of our readers are aware consists of the back kitchen in Const. RYAN's house, a neat but not commodious cottage about a mile from where it ought to be. The parlour is 'reserved" for the "Jay Pays" and where the worthy constables wife and family, if he has any, get to during the time the majesty of the law is in progress of vindication. In the kitchen is unknown and it does not become us to inquire. We think it is hightime that better provision both for the constable and the public should be made and that the Police Station should be removed to that part of the town where it is most required.

Ormondville: The First Hotel to Open
The Makotuku Hotel - managed by Mr ESSEX and his good lady. The hotel contains 12 bedrooms, 5 sitting rooms, 2 up & 3 down and all have fireplaces in them. The dining room is 28ft x 17ft. The kitchen is perfect in all its appointments. It has a beautifully toned piano by Foster, a good bagatelle board and shooting gallery. There are the bathrooms, where both plunge and shower baths are to be had at anytime. Means of escape are provided by 3 inch ropes coiled away at all the windows. The hotel is lighted with Defries safety lamps, which aggregate a candle power equal to between 550 - 600. The front is shaded by a flat verandah or balcony and is supported on round columns
The next hotel to open was the Ormondville Hotel. The proprietor is Mr LEACH. The hotel has 4 sitting rooms 16'x16', dining room 40'x20', 9 bedrooms 14'x10'. a bar 20'x16 and a kitchen fitted with patent Leamington Range. The furniture is all new and manufactured to order by Mr SEBLY, Waipawa. New carpetting & oilcloth are also laid down. A magnificent piano by Collard & Collard. A large concreted cellar is under the hotel for storing liquor. The Beaconsfield Hotel was first erected at Kopua but when the railway finished as far as Makotuku, the
proprietor ( late Mr DROWER) had the hotel removed to that place and built in the station yard there. As there was an hotel there already ( that of Mr D. SMITH) and as the proprietor of this hotel had been refused permission to build in the yard, he naturally objected to Mr DROWER getting a license for a house which would take all the trade from him ( Mr SMITH). The ratepayers joined with him in his objection with the result no license was issued
. After a time Mr SMITH compromised the matter by removing the old Beaconsfield hotel, but only in time to find his license refused with those of the other
hotels. After the new licensing district had been proclaimed the old hotel had to be removed, this was done, the present Beaconsfield Hotel being built and opened under the care of Mr SMITH. After a short time Mr SMITH became "full up"' of hotel keeping and the present proprietor, Mr Henry GASSON, took charge. This hotel presents much the same appearance as the Ormondville Hotel in fact nearly a counterpart of that building. It has 9 bedrooms 16'x10', 4 sitting rooms 16'x16', including commercial room, cosy bar parlour, well appointed kitchen and well furnished dining room 40'x20'. It also has a good piano by Steimacher
