INQUEST

An inquest was held at Waiuku last Monday on the body of John Hone, who had died suddenly on the previous Satur day. The evidence of deceased's wife was to tho effect that on Saturday morning he complained of pains in his head and neck. He lay down on the stretcher, and witness arranged somo pillows for him. A very short time after he got up he said, " Oh ! my head will break." She put some cold water on his head, and he then lay down again and commenced to cough, and spat on the floor twice. The third time he spat there was a round spot of blood. About two minutes after hecoughedagain, and then the blood was pouring out of his mouth. Ho wl-nt outside with his hands clasping his head. The blood was still pouring out of his mouth. He asked for a drink of water, which she g£.ve him. She put her arm around him and led him back to the bed-room, and laid him on the bed, where he died immediately afterwards. After hearing the evidence of Dr. Dalzell, the jury returned a verdict that death was caused by the bursting of a blood vessel.

ONEHUNGA R.M. COURT.

At the R.M. Court, Onehungo, on Wed nesday, before Capt. Jackson, R.M., and T. Ball, J.P., John Angelo, licensee of the Royal Hotel, Onehunga, was charged with suffering an unlawful game with dice to be played on tho night of the 24th December last. Mr B. Hosketh appeared for defend ant. Sergeant Greene and Constable Haslett deposed to visiting the house at a late hour on the night in question, and beariug persons whoso voices they recognised playing at a game in a room; money appeared to be passing. Abel Kelßall, David Foster, and A. Taylor, on being called, admitted being in the house along with Mr Plowman, crat they had not played at any game. Dis missed. The same defendant was further charged with selling liquor, viz., brandy, on Sunday, the 4th inst. Mrs C. Collins deposed to residing close to the hotel, and seeing her husband, Mr ColHiib, go to the house on three occasions on the Sunday. He brought first one flask of brandy with him, and subsequently went back and brougnt another. The flasks had capsules on thorn, and they were opened in witness's presence. Mr Collins, on being called, said he could not recollect the date, and was not sure that he got brandy in the hotel. Mr Hesketh, as in the former case, addressed the Court at considerable length for the defence. Tho Bench considered the case proved, and imposed a fine of £5 and costs. Joseph Moody, for a breach of the Police Offences Act by furiously riding up the street, was fined 20s and costs. Charles Robinson and F. Harris, for similar offences, were fined in the same amount. Four persons, charged with drunkenness, were fined in the ordin ary amounts under the new Police Offences Act.

PUBLIC MEETING AT PORT ALBERT.

Our Port Albert correspondent writes: — A public meeting was keld at the Public Hall on Tuesday, to consider the action of the Rodney County Council, at its last meet ing, in appropriating two years' revenue on works, as per schedule introduced without notice by the Chairman of the Council. Mr Thomas Hunt was Chairman. Mr Shepherd (member for Albert Riding) made a statement to the effect that he was much surprised that a proposi tion to spend so large a sum of money should have been brought forward and passed without the members having an opportunity of fairly discussing the mat tor. He considered such conduct very arbitrary, and likely f;o still further in crease the unpopularity of local govern ment by county councils. Messrs George Hartnell, Thomas Gubb, E. Hardwick, and R Becroft endorsed the view as expressed by Mr Shepherd, and it was unanimously resolved that the Council be petitioned to re-consider tho matter. A medical club is being formed to secure the services of Mr Gradwell. This gentleman, who has been a resident here for the past two years, had intimated his intention to leave the district. Those best able to give an opinion speak very favourably of this gentleman's skill in the medical profession. A committee has been formed to do the work connected with the holding of tho Agricultural Show on the first Wednesday in March next.

Mrs Hall's Case.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —In last pight'a issue I read a para graph re the circumstances of the widow of the lato Robt. Hall, who was killed at Re inuera, and I would feel obliged if you will kindly correct some statements in it, which are somewhat misleading to the public, and damaging to the interests of the Society to which the late Robert Hall belonged. And while the members of the Society are ready to give practical sympathy to the widow, in the form of contributing to a subscription list, they wish the true facts of the case to be known, viz., that Brother Robert Hall was at the time of his death a financial member of Court Pride of Newmarket A.0.F., and his widow was entitled to receive £20 at his death. On the morning of his death, Mrs Hall was visited by mysolf and was made awnre of the amount due to her. At her request (sho having no relatives in the colony), tho officers of the Court undertook to bury the body according to her wishes and desires, which was done to her acknowledged satisfaction, and the balance of the £20 handed to her, together with a statement of expenses, on the even ing of the 13th inst. The bal ance was £11 15s. Out of tho £S ss, expenses of burying the body, was one item of £1 10s for cemetery and minister's expenses, &c, paid to the sexton, and £2 paid for hire of hearse ; so that if your information respecting the 10s remaining be correct, the residue must have been expended on account of the widow, and not as expenses of burying the body by the officers of the Court. On behalf of Court Pride of Newmarket.— Yours, &c, Robi. Holmes, C.R.

The Bad and Worthless.

are never fn»«a<ed: or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it ia positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon aa it had been tested and proved by tho wholo world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations Sprang up, and began to steal the notices in which the Press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8,, and in every way trying to induce Buffering invalids to use their stufl instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names, in which tho word " Hop or "Hops" were usedin a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their stylo or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop1 or " Hop 3 " in their name, or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations 01 counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop ™fS^'^-? 1i\ b'? noh5 r T>olußter? i: Kreen Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soule'a name blown in the glass.
