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.
