Mi G T Booth, of the New Zealand Swimming Association. Blenheim, Maroh 5 The Supreme Court sittings were opeasd by Judge Williams this morning* There were no oriminal, and but two civil eaies. In addressing the grand jury Judgs Williams said the dtatriot had the unique claim of being the most orderly law abiding oointnu* nity in the colony: He bad been on the Benoh twenty seven years, but this was his first experience of a maiden sheet, a fact) probably accounted for by the oir ontnatanoe thac during the whole of the 27 years be never had the pleasure of presiding at a sitting at Blenheim. INTEReARBSLL, March 5

At ths Supreme Court), fire young men, who were found guilty of riotously assembling to commit damage, were sentenced i»o three months hard labour. The Chief Justice s»id it was not a serious case, and he believed it wai entirely dua to acoueed having got semi-inboxioafced, If they had not gone into the witness box and told an untrue story, lie would not have been inclined to pass any punishment at all. The result of the poll in the Southland County on rating on uuianproved value is for proposal 919, against 574, Majority, for 345. Southland it one of the largest countiea in Now Zaaland, and keen interest was manifested in the poll. Tbe new system hfie also been adopted in Inveroargill, Gore, WintOD, and South Invereargi!!.

| Mr Cameron, I&speotor of New Zea!aod j produce in London, in bis monthly report) to the Department of Agriculture, nates that on his representation a certrin English firm agreed to withdraw the n*/r season's lambs from their price list at) the beciinnlDg of October as the use of the term at> tha beginning of the year, when no new season's iambs had arrived, might be misleading, Reports of coo tinned fraudulent gales of River Plate mutton as New Zaaiand are still reaching him. He reports from many sources that practice is, when an ordinary customer atks for New Zealand or Canterbury mutton, to supply him with River Plate if no close enquiry is made. But if the customer is icquieifclve, thfcn to bring forward one New Zsaland carcase, which is kept) in a*oak for this purpose, aad probably aßking such a high figure tbat no sale Is made, and the New Zealand carcase is retained a« % cloak of dishonesty. Although he w*b satitfied that tbe fraud was being practised, he was unable to get) a case on whioh to secure a ocnviotion Mr Cameron considers the present system of Identification of meat totally Inadequate* and parties he has conversed with on the subject are distinctly favorable to the adoption of a coal, clear, indelible brand for application to Joints and oaroases of New Zealand meat
