for indecent conduct.
Felix M'LEAN, another inebriate on remand for medical treatment, was certified
by Dr. SPENCER to be too ill to leave the gaol, and the hearing of the
charge against him was postponed till Monday. M'LEAN, it appears, is in
a very bad way, his indulgence in Dr. Mortimer GRANVILLE's "friend
of man" having brought on delirium tremens, and this, it is feared,
is now complicated by an attack of congestion of the brain.
Mr BURTTON, wharfinger, in a fit of despondency caused by illness, attempted

Mr BURTTON suffered from was caused by an illness resulting from a fall
from a vehicle about three weeks ago......

No less than six stowaways were found on board the steamer Tekapo shortly
after she left Sydney on the 5th instant for Wellington. This, together
with the very large number of passengers - over 200 - for New Zealand
which she brought, tells its own tale of the state of affairs in Sydney.
Many of the passengers are New Zealanders returning perhaps wiser but
certainly poorer and sadder men.
Mr Sydney HOBEN leaves by coach for Rotorua this morning for the purpose
of entering the sanatorium there in order to obtain treament for the affection

were hopeful that the sea voyage to the colony would effect a cure, but
recommended, should it not do so, a long rest, to be followed by a sojourn
at the Hot Lakes. Mr HOBEN has given his arms absolute rest during the
past year, and it is hoped that Rotorua will do the rest.
