Mr W. BOLAM, who for the past five years has been chief clerk in the Napier branch of the New Zealand Insurance Company, has been appointed to a similar position in the Wellington branch of that institution, and leaves Napier in about a fortnight. The many friends of Mr BOLAM will regret to learn of his departure, and he will be greatly missed in business circles. We congratulate him upon his promotion. At the R.M. Court yesterday, before Mr E. LYNDON, J.P., John WATSON was fined 5s and costs for drunkenness. Stephen TRENOR, an elderly individual with a very down-in-the mire appearance, was charged with being illegally on the premises of William BOGLE. The police stated that accused, who was a man who did no work, and was accustomed to stow himself away in outbuildings to sleep, was found in an unlet house shortly before daybreak on Thursday. He was sentenced to a month's hard labor. An accident of a somewhat sensational character happened to the Napier Taupo coach yesterday afternoon, but fortunately without any serious results. As the coach was leaving the stables at Kaiwaka the leading horses suddenly swerved and dragged the vehicle over a steep bank. The coach turned completely over, and the driver, Mr M'AULEY, was thrown from the box seat, as also were Mr JOYNT, of Nelson and Mr MACDONALD, of Christchurch, the latter falling with his legs under the wheels. The inside passengers, who consisted of Mr and Mrs HUTCHINSON and two daughters, and two Napier lads, were all thrown beneath the coach, and had not the stable groom rushed down the bank to the horses' heads the result would probably have been very serious indeed.........

HBH 1890 April 4 Local news The horses attached to the cab driven by Mr GRANT got startled yesterday evening by the AHURIRI's whistle and Mr GRANT who was alongside the horses, in endeavouring to stop them got knocked over, and the wheels of the cab passed over him. Although severely bruised, we are glad to say Mr GRANT was not seriously hurt. The horses did not go very far before they were brought to a standstill, but not until one of them had kicked itself clear of the harness. The findings in the case of Colonial Bank v BENNETT and ROCHFORT leave an important matter of law yet to be decided, and the case stands for further consideration. Messrs WILLIAMS and KETTLE have been appointed sole agents in this district for the new HOWARD-GEDDES sheep shearing machines.

In 1865, with about 300 natives, he surrounded General CAMERON in camp in NUKUMARI, and nearly succeeded in making him prisoner. In 1866 Honi came in and afterwards did his best to promote peace between the two races. In 1870 he acted as guard when COBB's coach, with Sir William FOX in it made its first journey through native territory, and eventually became proprietor of the coach and carried the mail. He received a pension for his services from the Government.

HBH 1890 APRIL 2 Wairoa road Telegraphic News - Tuesday Page Two All WAIROA settlers are well pleased the likelihood of this place being connected with NAPIER by means of a good dray road. The work, in justice to Wairoa and the East Coast, should have been carried out years ago. The undertaking is not for the purpose, as erroneously stated in some quarters, of opening up lands between here and Napier, but as a certain means of keeping open communication with the commercial centre of the districts at all times, which this district urgently needs, and also as a continuation of the present dray road between GISBORNE and WAIROA, which will double the usefulness of this thoroughfare by providing means of traffic right through from Gisborne to Napier instead of being stopped at Wairoa by the present wretched bridle track between here and Napier. Both Parliament and the government are against any assistance being granted for the purpose of tampering with the Wairoa harbor, looking upon all proposed Works for that purpose as too expensive and precarious, owing to the fact that the mouth of the river being right in a bight of Hawke's Bay, exposed to the full force of the southers, which no matter what is done to the river would always interrupt traffic by sea.

HBH 1890 APRIL 2 Local Telegraphic News - Tuesday Page Two The charge of bigamy preferred against Dr John MACLEOD, came before his honor the Chief Justice yesterday afternoon, when Mr Mc LEAN made application for Dr MacLEOD's discharge from gaol on a writ of habeas corpus. The Chief Justice decided that the Act of New South Wales, under which the accused was arrested, and which made it an offence punishable in New South Wales to commit bigamy outside that Colony, was ultra vires OF THAT COLONY. It is probable that Dr MacLEOD will be brought up the first thing in the morning and discharged from custody. Resident Magistrate's Court Mr G A PREECE, R.M-yesterday George JACKSON and Matthew GOULDING each fined 5s and costs for drunkenness.

The information upon which the warrant for the arrest of Dr MACLEOD was issued by a magistrate in Sydney was sworn by Mary E CAMERON, who came over from America to New South Wales for that purpose, and in her sworn information she alleges that Dr MACLEOD married her at S LOUIS, on the 8th of May, 1859, his former wife, to whom he was married on July 13th, 1872, being then alive. Mrs MANSON is well connected, her sister being the wife of an ex-Colonial Secretary of New South Wales. Mrs CAMERON, who sought to have Dr. MACLEOD arrested, and taken to Sydney, is with her family staying at the GROSVENOR Hotel in that town.
