_ Amended Regulations.-Tho Chairman introduced tho amended regulations of the board.—Mr Kico explained tho differences that had been made.

Summonses in connection with the alleged sly-grog prosecutions were issued to-day, and tho cases come on tor hearing to-morrow. It is an interesting fact that these broachoa of tho law aro all said to have occurred be tween ten and twelve p.m., and the signifi cance of the matter so far as tho trade is concerned is shown by the fact that tho licensed victuallers have retained Mr Cotter to assist in tho prosecution. Amongst tho defendants aro four representatives of the demi-monde, whose names are Julia Wilson, Fanny Williams, Maggie Moran, and llhoda Vernon. It is allegod that tho liquor sold was pale ale, for which the usual price of 5s per bottle was paid. Mr W. J. Napier has been rotained for tho defence in all tho cases,
