HBH 1892 September 10 4 Female Franchise A general feeling prevails that if the government really decide to carry female franchise they were unwise to include it in such a large measure as the Electoral Bill, a measure which contains so many debatable feature. It is expected, however, that Ministers will not weep if female franchise be thrown. Cards have been pricked on this question with the result that 11 votes are deemed safe in its favour, 9 certain against it, and 8 doubtful.

HBH 1892 Sept 10 2 local news A gentleman who has just returned from Wellington says that the civility he experienced there in connection with the telephone exchange, as compared with Napier, was so marked as to constitute quite a business luxury. The Wellington exchange employs female clerks. Our informant also says that the telephones in Wellington are in better working order, and more serviceable, than those in Napier. We have to acknowledge receipt of Volume I. of Mr Wilfred BADGER'S "Statutes of New Zealand." It is a most useful work, and the first of four volumes to comprise the whole public general law of the colony up to date.

HB Herald, June 23, 1894 Alfred MUNN was brought up on remand at the Magistrate's Court yesterday charged with assaulting his wife. Defendant pleaded guilty. The gaol surgeon stated that he was doubtful of the man's sanity, although not prepared to say that he ought to be confined in an asylum. He recommended that defendant be again remanded for medical examination..... Jane Ann MUNN, wife of defendant, applied for a protection order and for the custody of her infant children. The application was granted. A well-known landmark in the shape of a two story house at the corner of Milton-road and Battery-road, occupied by Mr ANDREWS and family, was partially destroyed by fire yesterday morning........Miss ANDREWS, who was in bed upstairs, was roused by hearing a crackling noise, and upon rising found that the house was on fire. She had barely time to escape.......By means of hard work the fire was subdued after about £100 worth of damage had been done. Mr ANDREWS was uninsured, and is a loser to the extent of about £50. The house, which is the property of Mrs W. PARKER, was insured for £200 in the National Office.

HB Herald, June 22, 1894 At the Magistrate's Court yesterday, before Mr M. LASCELLES, J.P., William ADAIR was fined 10s and costs for being drunk at Clive. The Supreme Court was occupied all day yesterday with the further hearing of the case, commenced on Wednesday, in which Allan M'LEOD and Alfred James SYMONDS were charged with shooting a cow......There was practically no dispute as to the main facts, it being admitted that M'LEOD shot the animal in question and that SYMONDS had a considerable portion of the meat. The Crown held that the cow, which was a tame one, was wilfully shot as such, the defence being that it was shot as one of some wild cattle that M'LEOD and others went into the bush to hunt.......the jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of not guilty. Prisoners were accordingly discharged.

HB Herald, June 19. 1894 Danevirke - At the inquest on the late Nils Christian JENSEN, held on Saturday, it transpired that upon the engine starting he was caught by the cowcatcher below the knees and thrown on his back on the line, and in that position he was dragged about four yards over the sleepers, breaking his spine and several ribs. A verdict of accidental death was returned, and all concerned were exonerated from blame. The man Edward MORTIMER, who on the 3rd of May last stole an overcoat and some jewellery from Mr C. PALMER's stable, was yesterday brought up in custody before Mr TURNBULL, S.M., charged with the offence. The charge was fully proved by the evidence of Sergeant-Major PRATT, Arthur PALMER, and Detective KIRBY........prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to four months' hard labor. The sittings of the Supreme Court will open this morning, the proceedings commencing with the swearing of the Grand Jury and the empannelling of the Petit Jury. Among the latter will be some Maori jurymen, summoned to try a case in which a man is charged with criminal assault upon a Maori girl. There are a number of criminal cases to be heard, and the sittings will probably prove protracted. The following is a list of the cases set down for trial:- Thomas Arthur WALKER, horse-stealing Allan M'LEOD, killing a cow and stealing carcase Alfred JAMES, receiving stolen property William Francis BYRNE, obtaining goods under false pretences James SWEENEY, indecent assault and rape Charles Wright HEWITT, alias Charles WILLIAMS, forgery Michle ALEXANDER, receiving goods dishonestly obtained Norman Gustavas HALL, alias G.E. SMITH, forgery Barnard REID and Andrew COOPER, breaking and entering James REYNOLDS, Waipawa, stealing letters containing valuable enclosures entrusted to him to post. The late Dennis LYNCH, whose death is referred to elsewhere, was brother of Mrs GLEESON, of the Empire Hotel......At the inquest........the jury returned a verdict of "found drowned." In addition to his sister deceased leaves two brothers. One keeps the Aurora Hotel, Auckland, and the other lives at Hamilton.

HB Herald, June 18, 1894. Constable NORWOOD, who has for some time acted as police clerk in Napier, has been promoted to be first class constable. The promotion is in connection with the rescue by him some time ago of a man who was in danger of being drowned in the surf. Sergeant-Major PRATT, of Nelson, arrived in Napier on Saturday, having in charge a prisoner named Edward MORTIMER. The latter is charged with having stolen an overcoat and some jewellery from Mr C. PALMER's stables on the 3rd of May last, and was arrested by the police in Nelson. He will be brought up at the Magistrate's Court this morning. In our Friday's issue we stated that the body of the unknown man found drowned in the Ngaruroro on Saturday week would probably prove to be that of a man named THOMSEN, a Spit resident. This turns out to be the case. Mrs THOMSEN has identified the clothes found upon the body as those worn by her husband when he left home last month to look for work in the country........It is not known why deceased caused to be written the paper which was found when his body was recovered, as his name, according to his wife, was not JOHNSON, and he was not born in Australia, but in Scandinavia.
