A Licensing Muddle. —Says a Dun din item :—“ A peculiar state of affairs ..has arisen in connection with the Linden licensing district. At the election three committeemen only were returned, but these were not gazetted. Five others were, however, gazetted as if no election had taken place. The five held a meet ing and transacted business in due course, but the three held that this was null and void, and the three held a meeting. Tho clerk, however, would not hand them over the papers, and they adjourned till Monday. Floods in Nelson. —Accounts from the country districts report that the heavy gale on Wednesday night was accompanied by very heavy rain also heavy floods. At Brightwater a number of sheep have been drowned, and in this locality the flat land was all under water. At Motueka the flood was the heaviest known since 1877) when so much damage was done. In the Lower Moutere the flood is running through the windows of the Bridge Hotel. Horsemen found it impossible to cross the bridge over the river. The rain still con tinues, and it is feared much damage will be done in the district named.
