Judy Weller The plans for the new police station may now been seen at the post-olffice. The main building will be capacious and comfortable, and will contain eleven rooms. Six detention cells are also to be provided separately, in connection with which a shower bath is also to be erected. It will be a pleasant change for the police to find themselves in spick and span grand spanking new quarters after the disgustingly inadequate and ramshackle premises in which they have so long had, perforce, to exist.

The price of the ticknote has been lowered, as notified elsewhere. Mr JAMES will supply the supper and Mr NEWBOULD's band the music, so it only wants a fine evening to ensure a very large attendance. A young man named George NORTON endeavored to remove a quantity of sliver from the till of Mr G. JONES' pork butchery on Friday night, but a bell attachment warned the proprietor, who rushed out, and eighting the thief as he bolted out the door, raised a hur and cry which ended in his capture. He was brought up at the S.M. Court on Saturday and remanded by Mr F.C. FULTON, J.P., until this morning.
