HBH 1892 Nov 2 4 Waipawa Court This morning at the Resident Magistrate's Court, before Messrs S. JOHNSTON and INGLIS, justices. A boy of 16 or 17 named Roderick M'KENZIE, was charged with breaking into a cottage tenanted by Mr R. HARDING'S ploughman on Saturday night, and stealing a pair of boots and 5s in money, the property of John DUNN. - Remanded till Wednesday Richard POOLE-charged with being drunk and disorderly and using grossly obscene language on the street, and evidence was given that he was turned out of the Settler's Arms twice. The Bench pointed out that he had twice before been convicted on similar offences and the punishment did him no good. He was fined £1 with 2s costs or 14 days on the first charge, and sentenced to two months on the second, in all two and a half months. A young fellow, who walked by the aid of two sticks, named George W. CROSS, was arrested this afternoon and brought before the Court on a charge of absenting himself from his work as an apprentice to G.W.BEER, cabinetmaker, NAPIER. It appears that the young fellow was suffering from an affection of the legs, and had for some weeks been an inmate of the Napier Hospital. As he was improving Dr. MENZIES gave him a certificate recommending a month's change of air in the country, and on the strength of this the boy joined his sister and her husband and came on here. He was remanded on the application of the police till tomorrow, at the Resident Magistrate's court Napier.

HBH 1892 Nov 1 3 GRAY William and BEECROFT Hotel A serious accident occurred here this afternoon. As far as I can ascertain the particulars are as follows: - An up-country dray was at the railway siding, where it had just been unloaded of a load of wool. One of the leaders which had been detached took fright at the shunting of the train and bolted across the railway crossing in the direction of Havelock. Mr William GRAY, who was on a horse, tried to stop the runaway, but while he was doing so the horse in the dray dashed along and ran one of the shafts into the flank of Mr GRAY'S horse, inflicting such injuries that the poor animal subsequently bled to death. Mr GRAY was thrown violently to the ground, but managed to get to Mr BEECROFT'S Hotel, where he was put to bed and received every attention. I am happy to state that his injuries are not serious. The dray was ultimately stopped in the Havelock Road.

HBH 1892 Nov 1 p3 Police Transfers I regret to inform your readers that HASTINGS will tomorrow lose the services of Constable WILSON, who for the past seven years has assisted Sergeant PICKERING in the maintenance of law of and order. During that period has always done his duty zealously without fear or favour, and with a tact which, while enforcing the law, has avoided what might otherwise have resulted in a breach of the peace. He will tomorrow leave for KUMARA, where he will take charge of a police station. He leaves many friends who wish him well, and (I think) no enemies. His successor will I believe, be Constable GORDON, from AUCKLAND.
