May 14th 1891 SHIPPING NEWS: Departure - May 13 - Catlin, ketch, Captain SVENDSEN, for Timaru. Telegraphic Shipping - Auckland, Wednesday. Arrived - Te Anau, s.s., from Sydney. Passengers for Napier: Mr and Miss AVISON, and Mr W.E. GREWE. Birth - LANG - At Hastings, on the 13th May, Mrs A.C. LANG, of a son. A case of poisoning which might have had serious results occurred at Clive last evening. Mr George STUBBS, it appears, had prepared a solution of a salt of arsenic with which to sprinkle his plants, and by mischance Mrs STUBBS used the solution in making tea. The consequence was that Mr and Mrs STUBBS, and two men named FLEMING and HOLMES who were working for Mr STUBBS, were seized with violent pains and excessive vomiting. Mr STUBBS and FLEMING came into town as quickly as possible, and having consulted Dr. INNES he sent them to the hospital. Dr. INNES then went out to Clive and attended to Mrs STUBBS and to HOLMES, both of whom were at a late hour last night doing well. The quantity of arsenic taken by each person was, we understand, about a quarter of an ounce. William ROSE was brought up at the R.M. Court yesterday, before Messrs E. LYNDON and W.R. BLYTHE, J.P., charged with assaulting his wife by striking her on the head with a milk jug. Accused, who was represented by Mr SHEATH, pleaded not guilty. Mr CRESSWELL appeared in support of the information. Complainant deposed that during a quarrel between her and accused the latter picked up a jug and struck her on the head with it, breaking the jug, and causing her head to bleed very much. Accused told a very different story. He said that when he went home from work he found his wife drunk. There was a quarrel, during which she called him vile names and threw a jug at him. In running away she fell on the step and cut her forehead. The Bench preferred to believe the complainant, and sentenced accused to a month's hard labor, and further ordered him to find sureties to keep the peace for three months.

HBH 1890 March 25 Rose A curious interpleader case was heard at the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday-Before Mr G A PREECE R.M. It appeared from the evidence that Mr P GILLESPIE sued William ROSE of Chaucer Road to recover a sum of money and he subsequently proceeded to recover the amount by distress, putting the bailiff into what he thought was William ROSE's house, and which he further thought contained William Rose's furniture. It transpired, however, that William Rose, probably out of love and affection for his wife, owned neither the house nor furniture, and that his wife Mary ROSE, owned the lot. After hearing the evidence his Worship ordered the goods taken possession of to be restored to Mary ROSE, but he also ordered that the costs of the summons should be paid out of the £10 deposited in Court................more...................then During the hearing of the case the Resident Magistrate said that the Married Women's Protection Act was a bad one, and ought to be called the "Married Men's Frauds Facilitation Act."
