Friends will please accept this intimation.- T.P. FULLER, undertaker. We understand that Mr J.E. DUCKWORTH has severed his connection with Mr R. WELLWOOD, and has started on his own account at Hastings as auctioneer and stock agent. At the R.M. Court yesterday, before Dr. SPENCER and Mr J.H. VAUTIER, J.P.'s, Thomas TAGGART was fined 5s for drunkenness. John COMPTON and John Burke O'BRIEN, also charged with drunkenness, were convicted and discharged with a caution. Mr William TAIT, a very old resident of Hawke's Bay, dropped dead in Clyde-road yesterday afternoon. He was picked up by Mr RYMER and conveyed to his residence, which was quite near where he fell. Dr. MOORE was sent for, but found on arrival that life was extinct. An inquest will be held today. It is supposed that death was due to heart disease.
