FIRES IN THE SOUTH.

The new stove of Messrs Bishop and Palmer at Middlemarsh, Strath Taieri, Otago, was burnt dowr either on Thurs day night or Friday morning. The Nor wich Union Company had a risk of £1,000 on the premises and stock, but two-thirds of the amount was reinsured in the United and Australian Mercantile office. C. R. Martin's sawmill at Winton Bush, near Invercargill, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning at four o'clock. Insur ance : -050 in the New Zealand office, of which I'GOOwas reinsured in the National, Victoria, and Union, £200 each. On Saturday afternoon a six-roomed house at Oxford, Canterbury, tho property of W Ford, was burnt. The furniture and tools to the-value of £100, with Ford's wages for the month, wore destroyed. The building was worth £170, and was insured For £100. ■'~.';'. . . ~ . A fire occurred tins morning in the shop of Mr Brookes, photographer, Hawera, and extended on one side to the promises of Mr Suitor, tailor, and on the other to those of Mr Pitcher, watchmaker and jeweller. Mr Suitor and Mrs Pitcher narrowly escaped suffocation by smoke. The fire was got under before much damage was done.

THE NEW LICENSING BENCHES.

Tn_ quarterly sitting of tho Karangahapo Licensing Committee, which took place to day, supplies an instance of how the law is to bo administered under the new regime. There was a full bench-Mr D. Goldie, Chairman of the Committee presiding. The Only application before the Court was one for a transfer of the license of tho Queen's Hotel from Louis Hartmeister to Henry H. Swindley. The Bench called upon the police for thoir report on tho house in terms of Clause 44, Sub-Section 1, of the Licensing Act; but it appeared that, in accordance with what has been the usual practice hitherto .no report had been prepared. Tho Bench considered that their report was neces sary before dealing with the license aJ accordingly adjourned the _ourt for _ fortnight, to allow of the police report being prepared and submitted, This will doubtless form part of the pro cramme of the now Licensing Committees in all the city wards, so that to save time, publicans should see that the requirements of tho Act are complied with prior to the. date fixed for the fitting of the different Courts _ T°-morrow the City East Licensing Court is to be held at the R.M. Court, High-street, and on Friday the Court for City South opens in the n_o Place. There being ,o business in City North and Jonsonby .Yards, no sitting of' these Courts takes place this quarter. ________________

' At the Harbour Board meeting this after noon, Mr OMver Mays stated that the North Shore Ferry Company paid the Board L 230 to L 250 a-yenr for office accommodation, and the right to ply across'the harbour, For this reason ho strenuously advocated the exemption of household furniture from toll at the North Shore Wharf;. The Board, hdwever, negatived the proposal- Mr Mays" then tried to get an exception made in fivour of goods carried by ferry atoamnrs, "but he was not successful. The Beam finally resolved to sell by auction theright to collect wharfage dues on all North Shore wharves.

TELEGRAMS.

(from our own!correspondent.)

Russell, this day.—Arrived: Wellington and Marriner. Sailed : Norval.

The Kawakawa Licensing Committee re fused to transfer the license from G. White! of Pacific Hotel, RusseD, to G. Panter, on the ground that he was a single man, though he has held licenses both in Auck land and other parts successfully for 16 years. Such arbitrary proceedings do not proceed from the Good Templars. It ap pears that the Committee took this step so as to suppress a house at Kawakawa. Much sympathy is felt at Russell for Mr Panter, who seems to give satisfaction In the hotel line.

Captain Farquhar reports teat a large barque bound to Auckland passed him this morning.
