Court, charged with assaulting his wife by striking her on the head with a jug. Upon the application of the police the hearing of the charge was postponed till this morning. A somewhat remarkable instance of prompt restoration of an article lost has been brought under our notice. Yesterday we inserted an advertisement notifying the loss of a gold brooch, and it had appeared in the Herald but a very few hours when the trinket was restored to the loser, Mrs HILL, at the Girls' High School. Mrs HILL, was naturally highly gratified, as the brooch was a valuable one, and she would gladly have paid a reward, but the finder handed in the brooch without even waiting for thanks.

May 12th 1891 Death - BRABAZON - at the Napier Hospital, on Sunday, the 10th May, Rebecca, the beloved wife of John BRABAZON, of Ormondville, aged 41. The funeral will leave the Rechabite Hall, Ormondville, at 1 p.m. to-morrow (Wednesday). Friends will kindly accept this intimation. Yesterday morning John WARIN was charged at the R.M. Court with allowing cattle to stray on the public roads, and was fined 3s. Mr C.W. CATO, who for some time past has been assistant accountant at the Wellington branch of the Colonial Bank, is coming back again to Napier, as he has been promoted to the position of accountant of the branch of the Colonial Bank here. Mr CATO is expected to arrive in Napier this evening. Mr S.R. KENNEDY, the present accountant of the Napier branch, is transferred to Wellington, and will probably leave on Saturday. His place in musical and athletic circles will not readily be filled, as he has taken since his arrival in Napier an active part in the promotion of aquatics, other athletic sports, and musical matters. The bell-ringing case to which we have previously referred came on for hearing at the R.M. Court yesterday.....The information, which was laid under the Police Offences Act, set out that the defendant George ROBINSON, did wantonly and maliciously cause annoyance by ringing a bell......Mr LASCELLES contended that the practice complained of did not come within the Police Offences Act. His Worship upheld that view. He said that if there were any bye-law to restrain bell-ringing it would be a very proper one, but he was satisfied that this ringing of a bell in the pursuit of an ordinary avocation did not come under the "malicious and wanton" clause of the Police Offences Act. If the Corporation had no bye law restricting bell-ringing, they should make one, but he would have to dismiss the present information.

According to the recent census there are in the Hawke's Bay province (less Wairoa county) 28,924 persons exclusive of the Maori race generally, but including seven female Maoris, wives of Europeans, 118 half-castes, and 45 Chinese. Of the latter race 32 out of the total number reside in Hawke's Bay county. The juvenile members of St. Paul's choir, with their friends, numbering together over sixty, were entertained by Mr and Mrs APLIN at their resiodence on Friday. Songs, instrumental and vocal concerted music, games, charades, and other amusements, were thoroughly entered into, after which a sumptuous repast of good things was enjoyed. A woman named Frances MIDDLETON was brought up at the R.M. Court on Saturday, charged with drunkenness. She denied the charge, and said it was illness that caused her to appear peculiar. She was "often taken like it." The evidence was very much against her theory, and she was fined 5s and costs. Richard TORPEY, also for drunkenness, was dealt with similarly. George ROBINSON, a professional campanologist who makes a great noise now and then for Messrs P.A. HERMAN and Co. in connection with their auction sales, will have to appear at the R.M. Court this morning to answer a charge of ringing a bell to the annoyance of the public. The police have laid the information in consequence of receiving many complaints from people who regard auction bell ringing as a nuisance, and to settle the matter have asked Captain PREECE to decide whether public or bellringer must give way.

HBH 1890 March 14 Court A curious case came before Captain PREECE, in his capacity as Trust Commissioner yesterday. About twelve years ago, in a civil action CANNING v Henare MATUA, a claim to recover £1400, judgment was given for plaintiff with costs. The judgment was not enforced owing to various causes, one of which was alleged by plaintiffs yesterday to be the death of the original plaintiff. The debt, with costs and expenses, interest, &c., has now grown to over £2000, and the executors in CANNING's estate applied for an order of the Court to compel Henare MATUA to sell sufficient of his land to pay the amount of the judgment. The defence was that plaintiff, soon after getting judgment, agreed with Henare MATUA never to enforce it. After hearing evidence His Worship reserved judgment. Donald CAMPBELL, a 'bus driver,' was charged at the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, with plying for hire with his stage carriage on a route other than that for which the vehicle was licensed. Joseph COSGROVE, a cabdriver, lodged information. Mr LASCELLES said that technically his client was guilty, but only technically, and he would plead not guilty. The affair was simply a fight between the cabmen of NAPIER and the "Bus Company." Captain BOWER town clerk, produced the butt of defendant's license. His Worship upheld Mr LASCELLES' contentions, and dismissed the case.

Advantage is being taken of the visit of the two Ministers to formulate a scheme for settling the PAEROA blocks now under lease to Messrs DUFF Bros. Messrs REES and GANNON are here for the purposes of arranging the matter with lessees and the native owners. Mr James CARROLL M.H.R., and Major ROPATA M.L.C., are also assisting to bring about an amicable arrangement of the matter.
