AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

IT will bs remembered that some time ago it was announced in the telegraph columns of the newspapers that the season for shooting native game would commence on March 20th, subsequently it transpired that the proclamation only referred to the provincial district of Wellington, and that it had bsen teletrraphed in error. Many people were, however, misled by the information, and amongst the number, Mr C. H. 9. George, and Mr Hudson Williamson. They relied upon the telegram, and made arrangements for a trip to Waikato, The 20th was spent in the vicinity of Mercer, where tome good sport was obtained, but their tour ended. The police put a stop to the unlawful shooting, and took proceed i a against the gentlemen for brerches of the Animals' Protection Act. The cases are now pending, and a special meeting of the Acclimatisation Society was held tbjs afternoon to consider letters from . Messrs George atid Williamson, asking that, the piosecufciona be withdrawn There were' present Messrs Jas. liusfell (president), > Bull, Burtt, and the Hon. Jas. 'Williamson. After some discussion it was resolved that £he Acclimatisation society had no power under the Act to la; information or inter? fere with the progress of the law in- esses commenced by the police; '"':'

SUICIDE AT THE ISLANDS.

Fkom a correspondent we have just received infonration of a tragic occurrence which took place on the 7th November last on I Juror'slsland, one of the islets of the Pacific I situated a short distance from Christmas > Island and nearly on the Equator. On the Idato mentioned a man named Squire Flock ton, who was the only European on the is land was found by (he natives lying dead, with a frightful wound in his head, and a discharged pistol by his side. Deceased had undoubtedly committed suicide the facts concerping his death being established at an enquiry held before Key. Mr Lawes, mis sionary, and the documents have deen sent to the friends of the deceased in England. Flock ton had charge of the gunno traffic on the island, and was to some extent known in Auckland, having visited the city some time last year. He was a nun or apparently | over 40 years of age, and it is supposed that I he committed the rash act against bis own I life while snfferini; from the results of a I recent sunstroke.
