Judy Weller Wm. ELLISON did not appear before the S.M. yesterday morning to answer a charge of drunkenness preferred against him, and his bail was consequently estreated. At the ORMONDVILLE, S.M. Court yesterday the licensee of the TAKAPAU Hotel was fined £5 and costs, and the conviction ordered to be endorsed on the license, for serving the man PROVAN, deceased, with liquor while he was under the influence of drink. Constable GORDON, who was recently prostrated by a serious attack of influenza, attended by delirium which rendered him rather violent, has, we are glad to relate, shown great improvement all round, and his medical adviser hopes to see him about again as well as ever in a week or two. The inquest on the body of Gerald DOWLING will be resumed at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr SKEY's report has been received, to the effect that the stomach had no food in it, and it was excoriated. Mercury was found in the intestines, but none in the liver or kidneys. We understand that in the hospital mercury had been administered as medicine.
