graphic art, Mr. E. Debenham, the well.known
Photographer, having repurchased his old business in

Peones') Winn-Mummer! SHILTEIL The
attention of Mr. Councillor Nangle has been called
to the importance of hoeing a shelter for wheel-
cheirmen opposite the Burden Hotel. Anxious to
seize every opportunity of earning • living, the men
often remain on the stead, entirely exposed, during
the time an east wind Ii blowing, and consequently
are liable to suffer fearfully from rheumatism and
kindred complaints. The shelter can be placed on
wheels, and, when unnecessary, removed from the
Front. It is estimated that about 260 would cover
the coot of a low caravan and stove, and save suffering
by an industrious and patient claw.
During she past year there has been • remarkable
diminution of the business in the Police-court, except
lathe matter of drunken cases, and perhaps it may be
these have also diminished, enly that they are brought
into greater prominence by the more marked absence
of other offences. Especially in the matter of
neighbours' misunderstandings ha' the Chief Magis-
trate bro:lght his influence to bear in favour of peace,
many a ' pretty quarrel as t stands" has been cooled
down by his good advice, and we confidently expect a
continuance of this practic ii good sense and gold
leadership in the coming year.
