Oct. 27, 1891 SHIPPING NEWS: Arrivals - Oct. 25 - Alert, schooner, from Timaru. Oct. 25 - Kahu, s.s., from Wellington. Departures - Oct. 25 - Fanny, s.s., for Pourerere and Mangakuri. Oct. 25 - Te Kapu, s.s., for Wairoa. Oct. 26 - Kahu, s.s., for Wellington. At the R.M. Court yesterday, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., a man called Frederick Wilson ROBSON was fined 5s and costs for drunkenness. Griffiths Anthony FLEMING, on remand for medical treatment rendered necessary by a drinking bout, was fined 10s and costs, and was ordered to pay 15s costs of being medically treated in gaol. The sum of £44 2s is not a large amount to file for especially as the cost of filing would have paid a reasonably good dividend, but a laborer named Robert MARCHBANK has become bankrupt in connection with debts amounting to the sum stated. A meeting of his creditors (there are 14 of them) was held at the Courthouse yesterday. Afer a short examination, and the expression of some opinions the reverse of complimentary is the debtor, it was decided to have that gentleman publicly examined at the next sittings of the Supreme Court of Bankruptcy. Abraham HAZLITE was punished yesterday by the R.M. for allowing a vile nuisance to be on premises occupied by him. It appeared from the evidence that he took a shop in Emerson-street and opened it as a dealer in butchers' small goods. Upon giving up the premises he left a quanity of meat of all sorts, and a heap of sausages, to fester and rot in a corner of the small yard at the rear of the shop. He thus caused a shocking nuisance.......The defendant, who did not appear, was fined £5, with costs and solicitor's fees. Paul Christian WILSON, formerly of Napier, but now of Palmerston, was yesterday charged at the R.M. Court, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., with failing to comply with an order of the Court that he should contribute 17s 6d a week towards the support of his wife and five children. The sum of £50 was due........His Worship ordered defendant to pay £20, and varied the order previously made, making it provide for a payment of 3s 6d a week to each child.
