Rival Butchers.
John Thomas Follis, butcher, was charged with assaulting William J. Haines, butcher, at Mitchelltown on Saturday last. Mr. Hutchison for complainant, and Mr. Bell for defendant. The complainant, it appeared, is employed by Mr. Gear, and the defendant by Messrs J. and H. Barber, and both are in the habit of hawking meat round the suburbs. Naturally, a good deal of rivalry existed between the parties, whose feelings culminated in an altercation on the public road on Saturday afternoon, the one accusing the other of having endeavoured to take away his customers. The Bench were of opinion that the spirit of rivalry ought not to be carried too far, and fined defendant 10 shillings and costs.

A butcher's cart and horse came to grief last evening owing to the Culpable pranks of some boys. The cart, which had the wheel chained, was left for a few minutes by its driver near the Willis street corner of Webb street. Before he went away he spoke to some boys who were setting off crackers close by and cautioned them not to frighten his horse. He had hardly turned his back, however, when one mischievous young urchin exploded a cracker almost under the animal. The result was that the horse bolted in the direction of Polhill Gully, and the cart was capsized. When the animal was recaptured one of his legs was found to be badly out, and both harness and cart were seriously damaged.

Supposed Strike of a Reef at Mitchelltown.
Messrs. Biddle Bros., of Mitchelltown, have struck what they believe to be a goldbearing reef. Mr. Henry Biddle some time ago took a contract from Mr. W. J. Haines, butcher, of Mitchelltown, to sink a well for a force pump on the top of a ridge on some freehold ground owned by him on the range to the south side of Mitchelltown. They put down a shaft five feet in diameter, and after going through the ordinary rotten stone for a distance of 40ft, they came on some white powdery stuff, into which the pick was driven up to the head. This proved to be the casing of an exceedingly hard stone, somewhat resembling ironstone, but intersected with bluish-looking quartz, which was so hard as to destroy the picks' points after a few strokes. The Biddles state the seam they struck is a double one, and the stone stands up like an arch, the stone going down in either direction. The stone appeared so "likely" that the men brought a small quantity to the surface, where they distinctly saw some specks of gold. The Biddles on Monday but forwarded a kitful of the stone to Dr. Hector for analysis, but unfortunately for them, and for the colony at large, that gentleman's report is not sufficiently satisfactory to warrant the prosecution of the supposed reef. Dr. Hector is of opinion that the stone referred to is non-auriferous. The Biddles have worked on the Queensland goldfield, and therefore their opinion may be regarded as carrying with it some weight. One of the brothers has worked at quartz mining in Queensland, and he expresses himself as being sanguine that if a working shaft was put down near the well hole a defined reef would be struck. In the face of Dr. Hector's report, however, it is doubtful whether the search will be prosecuted. The well-shaft has been visited by a number of persons during the past few days, and amongst others by a Mr. Hellyer, an old Bendigo reefer, who, Mr. Biddle assures us, thinks highly of the stone. Some specimens were shown to our reporter to-day by Mr. Biddle, and certainly some of the stone showed specks of very fine gold.

The Fatal Burning Accident at Mitcheltown.
-
A Coroner's enquiry into the circumstances attending the death of the child Hilda Ross, who died from the effects of severe burns received on Saturday morning, was held at the Hospital at 9 o'clock this morning, before Dr. Johnson (District Coroner) and a jury of six, of whom Mr. William Richards was chosen foreman. Elizabeth Ross, mother of the deceased, deposed that she lived with her husband at Mitcheltown (sic). She left her house about 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, for the purpose of borrowing a loaf of bread, as there was none in the house. She left her baby, six months old, lying in a cradle near the fire, and her little daughter Hilda, who was two years and 6 months old, was left in charge. Witness went to a neighbour's house, and was not away more than five minutes. When she returned she found one side of the cradle — the side farthest from the fire — in flames. She took the baby out, and found it was not harmed. She then called to her little daughter Hilda, and the child came running from the bedroom with her clothes all in flames. Witness called for assistance, and some neighbours came in and helped her. Medical assistance was sent for, and the child was taken to the Hospital as speedily as possible, where it died soon after admission. Witness was inclined to think the child had been playing with the fire, because the cradle on the further side from the fire was alight when she returned from her neighbour's, as if the flames had been communicated. No matches had been left within reach, so the child could not possibly have got hold of any. Elizabeth Darrall, a neighbour, deposed to hearing Mrs. Ross calling for assistance shortly after 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. Witness ran into the house, and saw the little girl all in flames. The child was wrapped in blankets and taken to the Hospital. Mr. Haines, butcher, also came running in, and threw a quantity of water on the bedding in Mrs. Ross' bedroom, which was all in flames. The child came out of this room, so witness supposed the bedclothes had caught from the child's clothes.
Similar evidence to the above was given by Mrs. Selina Beddell.
Dr. Hassell, Resident Surgeon at the Wellington Hospital, deposed that the child when brought to the Hospital was suffering from burns all over the body, the foot alone escaping. The burns were of so serious a character that the case was hopeless. The child died about 10 o'clock from a shock to the whole system, caused by the very extensive burns. The Coroner remarked that the sad occurrence was evidently the result of an accident, and he was perfectly satisfied that there was no carelessness on the part of the mother. The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."

The Alleged Nuisance at Mitchelltown.
-
After we went to press yesterday the proceedings in the case against William John Haines, charged on two information's with having permitted a nuisance on his pig and poultry farm at Mitchelltown, was continued. Defendant described the destructor that he used, and said its fire was never out. When the wind was favourable, so as to cause a draught, the contents burned quickly; at other times, they smouldered. There was no nuisance, and no offensive smell. The pigs were re-bedded every day, and the contents of the styes were burned in the destructor.
To Mr. Jellicoe — The question of money would not stop him from improving the arrangements in any way that might be shown to be necessary. He had been persecuted by having people poking about his land. He was wanted, to cut up the property instead of using it as he did.
Mr. Young stated that the proceedings had been brought under the Public Health and Municipal Corporations Acts, because an effort to quash in the Supreme Court the Melrose Borough by-law (prohibiting the keeping of pigs) was pending.
The Magistrate considered that the Council should secure a conviction under the by-law to expedite the testing.
The witness said he did not know that during the last plague scare 67 rats were caught on his land on one day. There were few rats.
Charles Carter stated that though he worked as a drainman, he considered he could detect any "extraordinary" smell. He had worked at Haines's, and noticed no smell.
Charles Edwards and James Eltham gave evidence in support. The latter stated he was living, on defendant's land, and had found living for himself and family healthier there than in the city. The styes were 200 ft from his house, and the destructor 300 ft. Several other witnesses, living in the vicinity, gave corroborative evidence. At this stage the case was adjourned till Friday, the Magistrate stating that he would visit the property.
The Evening Post 7th March 1902 shows
Judgment was given to-day by Mr Haselden, S.M., in the case brought by the Melrose Borough Council against William John Haines, pig and poultry farmer, of Mitchelltown, for breach of the Melrose borough bylaw 46, making it an offence to allow, offensive matter to accumulate so as to be injurious and dangerous to health, and so as to cause an offensive smell. The borough has also a bylaw prohibiting the keeping of pigs, but it was stated during the proceedings at the hearing on Monday that the by law was to be tested in the Supreme Court. His Worship, who had personally inspected defendant's premises, described the so-called destructor as an open fire pit made on the principle of a camp kitchen. He had found it giving off most offensive fumes, the heavy smoke of which lay over the street, and the position appeared to him to be in the case of residents a choice between the smell of decomposing refuse and that of burning, decomposing refuse. Defendant was, convicted of suffering offensive matter to accumulate so as to cause an offensive smell, and a fine of 40 shillings, with 28 shillings costs, was imposed.
