Hawke's Bay people have been asked to believe that Mr FITZROY, late Sheep Inspector, was dismissed for purposes of retrenchment. Considering that the vacancy was at once filled up, and that a Mr OLDHAM has been sent here to act as inspector, a natural query is - "Where does the retrenchment come in?" A man named John MONTECINO was brought up at the R.M. Court on Saturday before Captain PREECE, R.M., charged with drunkenness and with using obscene language. He was dismissed with a caution for being guilty of drunkenness, but did not depart, being sentenced to a month's hard labor for using obscene language. What is supposed to be a case of accidental suffocation occurred yesterday. On Saturday night Mr and Mrs M'ALISTER, residing in Spencer-road, retired to rest, taking in the bed with them an infant daughter, aged four months. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning Mr M'ALISTER got up to give the child some milk, of which it partook, nothing ailing it then. At 6.45 o'clock, when about to rise, the parents discovered that the child was apparently dead. Dr. de LISLE was sent for at once, but could do nothing, as he found that the child had been dead several hours. An inquest will be held to-day at Mr M'ALISTER's residence. It is supposed that the child had been too carefully covered up, and was smothered by the bed clothing.
