This is a problem as it falls between whatever newspapers we have online - Papers Past finishes in 1915 and Newztext starts about 1984. Indexes to NZ publications starts in the 1940s! Where do you live? Can you get to a library which has local newspapers on microfilm? You might have to trawl through a few around the date.

HBH 1892 Oct 13 Supreme Court KURIPAPANGA The Supreme Court was formally opened for business yesterday morning in order to release the sureties of the Maori, KURIPAPANGA. This young native was committed for trial for larceny and allowed out on bail. The theft alleged against him consisted of taking of a number of articles and a horse from a relative at MOAWHANGA, and the defence at the preliminary hearing of the case was that the defendant was not guilty of larceny according to Maori custom. Under the circumstances the Crown decided not to present an indictment, and hence the necessity of the application for the release of the sureties. This was ordered, and the Court rose.

HBH 1892 Oct 13 Shipping Arrivals Port of NAPIER 12th-Lily s.s. from WAIROA 12th-Gleaner, brigantine from the BLUFF Departure 12th-Kanieri s.s. for Northern Ports. Shipping Notes: Three years ago the first whaleback was launched; now there are twenty-five of them in use. Twenty are in the inland waters, one on the Pacific, and four on the Atlantic. A shipyard is being prepared on Puget Sound for the building of this class of craft. At West Superior, eight are building, six being steamers, and none of them less than 334 feet in length. Two more are to be laid down shortly. Alexander M'DOUGALL, the inventor of the whaleback, is an Islay man, and was for some time a pilot on Lake Superior. He predicts that when the enlargement of the Lawrence Canal is completed, the Canadian route will do most of the freight both ways for the American West. He insists that very little grain will go further east than Chicago by rail, and he is confident that Montreal harbour will fail to accommodate the vessels that will seek it as a destination.

Hints and Suggestions 1903-Otago Witness 4 November Page 66. The enjoyment of a hot bath is doubled if the juice of three lemons be squeezed into the hot water, throwing the lemons themselves in also. When the lavendar season is on, a delightful concoction may be prepared and kept ready for use of 4 oz of whisky, ½ oz ammonia, and plenty of distilled lavender. When the hands have become soft and shrunken by using soda and hot water, rub them with common salt, and it will help make them smooth again. A few drops of the tincture of benzine put into the water in which the face is bathed will prevent the shiny appearance of the skin with which so many people are affected, expecially in warm weather. Experts say that saturation by salt water is very bad for the hair. If it get wet it ought to be carefully shampooed immediately after the sea bath. Frequent washing, however, is by no means good for the hair, turning it prematurely grey, and having a tendency to produce baldness. Water proof bathing caps should always be worn. Brittle nails are greatly benefited by having almond oil thoroughly rubbed into them and the finger ends at night. Glycerine has a browning effect on some skins and others it coarsens. It should never be used, therefore, upon the complexion unless it is quite certain that it is beneficial. Should the hands have become stained or hard from housework, put them in a hot bread poultice for an hour, and the result will be that they are soft, clean, and white. A good lotion for freckles is made of half a drachm of muriate of ammonia, two drachms of lavender water, and half a pint of distilled water. The lotion, after being put in a bottle, should be shaken well before being used, and the freckles dabbed with a piece of cotton wool saturated in it several times a day. Before using a new sponge, beat it and shake it well; then let it lie in cold water all night. Next day rinse it through two or three fresh waters to remove all sand and dust. When, after being used for some time, the sponge becomes sticky and slimy, soak it in warm water with ammonia in it, a tablespoonful of liquid ammonia to a pint of water being the correct quantity. Let it lie in this and then in cold water. Set it in a current of air to dry. A sponge should always be set where it will dry thoroughly. To break glass evenly-If you desire to break off a bottle or jar evenly round the neck, you can do so quite easily. Soak a piece of string in turpentine, and tie it round the bottle or jar just where you want to break it off, and fill thus so far with cold water. Set fire to the string, and the glass will snap off all along the heated line. If boiling water be poured over apples that require to be peeled, the skin may be easily removed, and much water and labour saved. To prevent bright pans from being blackened by smoke, rub with fat before putting them on the fire. Wash with hot water and soda after using them, and they will be quite bright. To remove the smell of cooking-Into a pint of boiling water pour a few drops of oil of lavender. Open the window of the room, and carry the basin round a few times. In a few minutes all odour of cooking will have disappeared. It is an interesting fact that, chemically, milk and grape juice are almost identical, and that the nuteritive qualities of both are almost the same, a pint of each being equivalent to at least 1 lb of meat. If a child has swallowed anything sharp, like a pin or a needle, do not give a purgative, but get the child to eat freely of suet pudding or anything of that nature, which will embed the object, and so prevent its injuring the child's inside. An orange put in the oven and baked will be found an excellent cure for sore throats, eaten just before retiring for the night. Economy in Lace Cleaning-We wear a great deal of lace nowadays, and it cost a fortune to clean, but with a little care and trouble a woman can save herself this expense by undertaking the renovation herself. She should have a good lather made with white soap and a little pinch of borax in it. with her hands, but without rubbing, she should manage to extract all the dirt from the lace by means of this lather.
