Father REIGNIER's long and self-denying labours were described, and his life of Christian charity held up as an example worthy to be copied by all.

At the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, before Mr G A PREECE R.M.

A man who gave the name of John Anderson PEACOCK was charged with attempting to defraud by tendering a cheque in payment for liquor obtained at the Shakespeare Hotel.

The lessee, Mr FLANNAGAN, refused to cash the cheque, and accused then attempted to get it cashed in a similar manner in the London Hotel, but without success. The cheque was drawn upon the Waipawa branch in the Bank of Australasia, and accused who pleaded not guilty, was remanded in order that the police might ascertain whether accused had an account in at the bank in question. After a statement was read by Inspector KIELY.
An interesting presentation was made yesterday at the district school, in the presence of the majority of the pupils.

Exhibition of boxing in the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday evening and attendance was very poor, but the display of boxing was by far the best that has ever been seen in Napier, and the proceedings were conducted in a thoroughly decorous manner.

First portion of entertainment provided consisted of bouts between local amateurs for a silver medal (won by P MADDEN), then a eight-round contest for £10 a side between a boxer who is known as Professor Le BEAN, and James PARKER, formerly well-known in Napier as a good pedestrian, but now claiming the title of light weight champion.

The contest was not a sham "knock-out" one, but a fair give-and-take competition with medium gloves......................more..................then...............PARKER had the best of the encounter all through, and proved himself a most agile and accomplished boxer after Le BEAN, who had been knocked down several times in preceding rounds, was again knocked down shortly before the conclusion of the eighth round, and as he failed to rise within the prescribed time, the match was awarded to PARKER.

Major WOOD, who has for some years past lived among the ROTORUA natives, died last month, and his Maori friends attended to all details of the funeral.

When some European friends arrived the body was lying in state (native fashion), and all manner of beautiful and valuable mats were scattered over it in profusion.

Feathers were on the head and greenstone on the breast.

Mr MALFROY, on behalf of the Government, thanked the Maoris for the attention, and for the very deep and loving feeling they displayed towards one of the white race.

They asked permission to be allowed to keep the remains of "their late gallant white chief" (as they called him) above ground until the "tangi."

The Government agent courteously granted this permission.

The late Major had no known relatives in the colony, and he having died in a most remote Maori village, but few European friends could find their way there.

The Maoris were only endeavouring to carry out the Major's last wish, and prevent the Europeans from taking his body to Rotorua, where nothing but a cold watery grave awaited him, such is the deplorable existing state of the cemetery there.

A sad accident happened at TURIROA last Sunday night, by which Mr Stephen THORPE'S eldest daughter, a girl 10 years of age, was so severely burnt that she died a few hours afterwards.

It appeared that mother and daughter were sleeping in the same room. The girl, after reading for some time, lay down with her clothes on alongside her mother.

It is supposed that her movements during sleep caused the candle, which had been left alight, to tumble off the table on top of her, and her clothes got ignited.

The poor child in her fright rushed about the room a little time before her patents got hold of her.

Mr THORPE extinguished the flames by throwing a blanket over the girl, getting severely burned about the hands.

Mr J POWDRELL, the nearest Justice, having certified than an inquest is not necessary, the deceased will be buried tomorrow.

HBH Nov 8 1888 GASSON

A very serious accident on Tuesday evening occurred to Mr H GASSON the genial proprietor of the BEACONSFIELD Hotel, when his horse shied away at some loose earth lying in the side cutting near the MAKOTUKU Bridge. There being no fence to prevent it the trap and the horse backed over the side on to the bed of the stream. Mrs GASSON, who was in the middle of the vehicle at the time, sustained a broken collarbone and was very badly bruised. Besides a severe shock to her system, and though she seems easier there is no knowing what may result.

It is to be hoped in any case Mr GASSON will proceed against the Waipawa County Council for damages, as it may cause them to fence dangerous places like that at which
Mr GASSON came to grief.

There is a much worse placed though than that at the approach to the MANGARANGIORA stream, and should a horse and trap go over, then nothing could save the occupants of the trap from instant death, as there is a fall of 200 feet sheer down to the river bed.

Editorial

THE KARAMU RESERVE
Considerable interest has been expressed as to the meaning and effect of the decision of the Supreme Court, which stopped the sale of the KARAMU reserve.

To understand the present position it is necessary to go back over 20 years, when Messrs TANNER, ORMOND, RUSSELL, and others, purchasers of the HERETAUNGA block, conveyed to Mr T P RUSSELL and Mr S LOCKE the block of land now known as the KARAMU reserve.

This land was to be held in trust for the benefit of natives whom the Native Land Court might declare to be interested.

No action was taken upon the deed until 1886, but in the meantime certain natives whom claim that they are the persons who would have been found entitled by the Native Lands' Court more occupied the reserve and "more........................................."

A very stormy meeting of a local Town Board on Tuesday and something very nearly akin to a squabble ensured over the appointment of a new clerk.

The late clerk had resigned, but claimed that, as his resignation had not been accepted he was at liberty to withdraw it, and he did so. A new clerk had however been appointed, a Mr R RUSSELL, and consequently the late clerk's services were not required. Thereupon he sent in an account for six months' salary in lieu of notice, and I believe he intends to sue for the money.

Twenty tons of stone from the Crown mine was tested at GLASGOW with a result that 87 per cent of bullion was saved.

Several "hard cases" came before the Charitable Aid Board yesterday. One was that of a man named BUTLER, who desired to be admitted to the refuge.

It transpired that he had been admitted several times, but he left the place all day, loafed in town and managed to get drunk, and then returned and made things lively in the institution.

He claimed to be decrepit and unable to work, but the doctor certified that he was able to earn a living.

He said that he had been in New Zealand 46 years, and that, he thought entitled him to a "bit to eat."

One of the members remarked that if the man had been that time in the colony it was the greater shame to him that he had now to seek charitable aid.

This seemed a new view to BUTLER, who left the room grumbling loudly when the Board refused to assist him.

Cr J N WILLIAMS was elected as a representative on the Charitable Aid and Hospital Board.

Mr H HILL has made an important geological discovery at Ormond, near Gisborne, in the shape of fossil fern, fishes, tree leaves, and moa feathers, in deposits of the Pliocene period.

The latter portion of the find is the most important; as up to the time of the discovery it was generally held by scientists that the moa did not exist in New Zealand until after the commencement of the post-pliocene period.

The late Sir Julius von HAAST was a most strenuous supporter of this theory, which is completely upset by Mr HILL'S find.

The specimens were exhibited at the meeting of the Philosophical Institute last evening.

A man named Mc JURY was cut to pieces on the Napier-Woodville line yesterday, near Takapau, by the mid-day goods train from the bush districts to Waipukurau.

The man was lying between the metals about a mile outside Takapu it is supposed in a state of intoxication, the loud and continuous whistling of the engine did not rouse him.

Owing to the formation of the line at the point the engineer could not see the man until the train was too close to him to be stopped in time, and Mc JURY was literally mangled.

The remains were picked up and carried on to Takapau, where a inquest will be held today.

Gisborne-Monday

While the Napier papers have been expressing their satisfaction at Captain PREECE R.M., of Napier not having to hold another Court at Wairoa, the Gisborne people on the other had, exclaim against Wairoa being included in the Poverty Bay Resident Magistrate's district, stating that it will take Mr BOOTH, the R.M. away from more important duties in this locality, so that poor Wairoa may be said to be "between two stools" in this matter........................more..........................then Mr HASELDEN, Under-Secretary in the Justice Department, after his journey from Gisborne to Wairoa by the inland road, and after inquiries made at both places, decided that Wairoa should be cut off from Napier and joined to the Poverty Bay judicial district, which though satisfactory to Napier does not please Gisborne.

A young man named Thomas STEWART, son of a settler near WALLINGFORD, was accidentally killed on Sunday.

The body has not yet been recovered.

NEW PLYMOUTH Court

The famous claim of “Mokau JONES” seems to have been settled at last, for the New Plymouth correspondent of the Post telegraphs that Judge PUCKEY gave final judgment on Saturday morning.

The Court upheld the surveyed plan, as directed by the Court in WAITARA in 1882. The boundaries of which are described in the Special Powers and Contracts Act of 1885, and upon which legislation again took place last session.

The Certificate of Title was ordered by the Court to issue for the whole block without any deductions.

Major BROWN, the agent of the AUCKLAND people, with a few natives, attended, to oppose the granting of the certificate, but the Judge was firm, and, after a patient hearing, discarded all objections.

Mr JONES was present, but called no witnesses, and the Court intimated that none were necessary. After judgment was given, Mr JONES requested the Judge to bring under the notice of the Government, with a view to future legislation, the manner in which designing persons to repudiate and upset bona fide transactions use the natives. Much interest is felt in the decision as a step upwards terminating a long-standing, difficulty, and opening up the great mineral sources of MOKAU.

Friends please accept this intimation.

fatal accident occurred on board the PIAKO yesterday. An able seaman named Thomas LEWIS, about 55 years of age, was engaged on top of the deck-house bending on a sail, and while at work he slipped and lost his balance, falling on to the top of the deck-house and thence to the deck, alighting on his head and shoulders. When picked up he muttered a few incoherent words, but quickly relapsed into complete unconsciousness.

A boat's crew was sent on shore to procure assistance, and Dr PRESTON was sent for, and was quickly on board, but LEWIS was dead. The cause of death is supposed to be fracture of the base of the skull.

The fall was only about eight feet.

An inquest will be held this morning before Mr E PATTEN J.P.

The Education Board there has appointed Mr Neil HEATH, late head master of the Napier Boys' High School, who left here to take charge of a public school in Auckland, to a more responsible post.

When, owing to want of funds, the training college at AUCKLAND had to be closed, the Board decided to start a "practising school" for teachers, and selected the Mount Albert School for this purpose, placing Mr HEATH in full charge.

This is a satisfactory acknowledgment of Mr HEATH's success when headmaster of the Girls' High School in Auckland, his new post being a highly responsible one.

At the inquest on the body of Thomas Frederick STEWART, held before Mr G HUNTER and a jury of six, of whom Mr A WARD was chosen foreman, the following verdict was arrived at: - "The jury unanimously agree that the deceased was accidentally drowned, and that no blame is attached to those accompanying him.

There was an alarm of fire yesterday afternoon, which for some time caused great excitement.

They say misfortunes never come singly. It is only a short time ago that I advised you of the death by fire of Mr Stephen THORPE'S young daughter, and now, after an exceedingly brief interval, I have to inform you of a second calamity of the same kind that has just happened to another of our country settlers,

Mr James FLETCHER, of FRASERTOWN. It appears that last Saturday Mrs FLETCHER, who was engaged cooking at the time, went out of the kitchen for a short while, leaving her little girl, aged about five years in the room. The poor child went too near the fire and by some mischance her clothes caught alight and she was speedily in a blaze. The mother hearing the child's screams rushed back at once, and enveloping the girl in a blanket promptly extinguished the flame's, but not before the child was seriously scorched about the legs and body.

His assets were £28.

Most of his liabilities, including that of Mr MERRYLEES, accrued while he was following the calling of a hawker. After that he took to driving sheep, and was then for a time steward of the Hastings Working Men's Club, which, on being wound up, owed him nearly three months' salary.

Messrs WILLIAMS (chief commissioner)
HALL, HARDING, CARNELL.

The Chief Commissioner reported a great demand for land, over 18,000 acres having been applied for in this land district during the last month.

It was decided to re-offer run No 1 TARAMARAMA, for lease, the land having been abandoned by the lessee.

R E STEVENS, lessee of another run on the same block, applied for a reduction of rent, which it was not in the power of the Board to grant

Mr F GOULLET, lessee of sections 2 and 3, TARAMARAMA, wished to abandon his lease, but the Board declined the request.

F C COOPER, holder of a small run at TAUTANE, was allowed an extension of time in which to make improvements if he paid up arrears.

It was decided to offer for lease a number of pastoral runs in the POVERTY BAY and OPOITI districts.

It was decided to forfeit a number of village sections at MATAMAU unless the holders went up to reside on the land or transferred their sections at once.

Mr HALLET, on behalf of the settlers at PUKETITIRI, asked that a block there should be set aside for educational and recreational purposes, but the board required further information before taking action.

It was decided to charge the WAIROA County Council 5s per 1000ft for timber cut on Crown Lands.

A number of small settlers being in arrears, each case was considered on its merits, extension of time being given in some instances and the land being forfeited in others. Several transfers were granted and other formal business transacted.

An inquest was held yesterday at the CROWN Hotel, Norsewood, before Mr S JOHNSON and a jury of six on the body of William SAVAGE.

Mr W SMALL was chosen foreman of the jury.

Evidence from Dr von MIRBACH, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, showed that SAVAGE had died through an attack of apoplexy, and that the brain and lungs of the deceased were in a very bad state, and also that aneurism of the aorta was present.
After 20 minutes the following verdict:

"The jury are of the opinion that the deceased William SAVAGE died through an attack of apoplexy, accelerated by indulgence in alcoholic drink, but that no blame attached to anyone, as all reasonable means had been used to prevent him from drinking too much." The jury, with one exception were all total abstainers-

A concert was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday night in aid of the Catholic Church building fund.

The best piece of performance I have witnessed for a long time was by a little girl of ten or perhaps twelve years of age, a Miss ALDRIDGE. She sand and danced the Highland fling to the great delight and applause of the whole house. Her voice is sweet, and I am sure that in years to come she will prove to be a feather in the cap of the lucky one who has her under tuition.

On Thursday night Mr HOLMES, of HAVELOCK, observed an unoccupied butcher's shop to be on fire, and promptly raised an alarm.

A bucket brigade was extemporised, and though it was seen from the first that the building in which the fire originated was doomed, it was hoped that the Mechanics' Institute could be saved.

To guard against contingencies, however, the library and furniture of the institute were removed, and just in time, for soon afterwards the building was a mass of charred ruins.

Mr PULFORD's shop was in imminent danger, but was saved by strenuous exertions. The shop destroyed, which was owned by Mr CULLEN of HASTINGS was insured for £200 in the NATIONAL and £100 in the SOUTH BRITISH.

The MECHANICS' Institute was insured for £100 in the latter office.

***Note by Elaine-note surname was spelt two different ways FORD/LORD?

There was the narrowest possible escape from a fatal accident-indeed; it may yet prove to be fatal-on the railway line at the SHAMROCK crossing yesterday morning. As a special train for TOMOANA was approaching the crossing the driver noticed two carts on the road. He blew the whistle to warn them, but their occupants did not appear to notice the warning.

The first cart passed safely, and the second was all but over when the engine struck it. Two men named LORD and CLEGG, and a youthful sone of the latter occupied it. The cart was literally smashed to pieces, and the occupants were thrown violently out. The two men were injured, but not as seriously as might have been expected. The boy, however, was thrown an extraordinary height into the air, and fell on his head. It is wonderful he was not kill4ed outright.

The three sufferers were taken on board the train, which at once put back to NAPIER, where Dr INNES attended to the injured. CLEGG seemed to be least hurt, and was able to walk to a cab,
FORD had to be conveyed home on a stretcher, but the former appeared to be the worst last night. The boy was suffering from concussion of the brain, and up to a late hour last night had not recovered consciousness. To show the force of the collision it may be mentioned that the tire of one of the cartwheels was picked up nearly a hundred yards away.

At St Mary's Church yesterday the Rev Father GROGAN stated that he had received a letter from Mr James FITGERALD, of BRISBANE, announcing the death, on the 10th inst., of his father, Mr Thomas Henry FITZGERALD, once a well-known Hawke's Bay resident.

Father GROGAN, after speaking at some length upon the many admirable qualities of the deceased gentleman, said that the congregation of St Mary's had particular reason to appreciate his generosity, as he had presented to them the greater part of their church site.

He announced that a requiem mass will be celebrated in his honor tomorrow morning.

Mr James FITZGERALD, in writing of his father's death, particularly requested that the intelligence be conveyed to the Rev Father REIGNIER, who, as our readers, know, had predeceased him by a fortnight.

He took a very active part in Hawke's Bay politics, and was instrumental in the separation of this province from Wellington, and on the formation of a new division became its first superintendent.

After leaving New Zealand he became the pioneer of the now great industry of sugar growing in Queensland. He also entered public life in that colony, and became Colonial Treasurer.

A few years since Mr FITZGERALD re-visited New Zealand, and the effects of the tying climate in which he had been residing were apparent in his appearance. He looked much aged, while as he himself said, "everyone in New Zealand seemed to remain young."

Mr FITZGERALD was by profession a civil engineer and was a native of KERRY.

During a portion of his sojourn in Queensland he practised his profession, and explored a large extent of country, afterwards starting sugar plantations and sugar mills in localities, which he regarded as suitable.

He was 64 years of age at the time of his death, and he leaves behind him a wife, eight sons, and three daughters.

Mr FITZGERALD is the owner of a picturesque property known as "Sturm's Gully," at one time possessed what is known as FITZGERALD estate, now cut into building allotments.

Mr FITZGERALD was also at one time interested in the old flour mill at the foot of Shakespeare road.
