May 27th 1891 SHIPPING NEWS: Arrival - May 26 - Matatua, s.s., from Auckland. Departure - May 26 - Kawatiri, s.s., for Westport. Yesterday was Captain PREECE's last day as Resident Magistrate for Hawke's Bay. His successor, Mr TURNBULL, R.M., has arrived. The following team has been selected to represent the Rivals Football Club in their match against the Pirates' second on Saturday next:- WILLIAMS, JOHNNY, WELSMAN, PEACOCK, KIELY, LUCAS, CUNNINGHAM, CATO, LEYLAND, CAMERON, KATENE, HONEPAIPA, PEHUKURA, FRAME, JARMAN.

Emergencies, FRANKLIN and BROPHY. James MORRISON , who was charged with drunkenness at the railway station last week, and had his bail of 1 pound estreated, has applied for a rehearing of the charge. We understand that he considers himself unjustly treated, and alleges that he was not at the railway station at all on the day he was arrested. He also alleges that when he was in the lock-up he was kicked and maltreated. As the evidence given was to the effect that MORRISON was arrested at the railway station, after falling off the platform, his denial that he was there is a very direct issue to be decided if the re-hearing takes place. An inquest was held yesterday at the Railway Hotel, Spit, on the body of James CURRAN, who died rather suddently yesterday morning. Captain PREECE was coroner, Mr W. DENHOLM was foreman of the jury, and Constable HARVEY conducted the inquiry on behalf of the police...........By order of the coroner, Dr. JARVIS made an examination of the body, and discovered that death was the result of fatty degeneration of the heart. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned. The deceased was 46 years of age, and leaves a wife and family. The Western Spit Mission Hall was formally opened on Sunday, but last night, to further mark the occasion, a "social" was given in the hall by the members of the Wesleyan Mission Band and friends.....The following ladies presided at the tables:- Mesdames WELSMAN, STAIRMAN, MARTIN, ROBINSON, COBB, LANG, COULSON, and EVANS, assisted by the Misses COBB, WILLIAMSON, WELSMAN, MINTON, and DOWNS, and a large number of gentleman waiters.
