Local Inteligence A great curiosity was exhibited the other day in the shop of Mr Mercer, grocer, Eattray street Dunedin. It is a piece of petrified wood about two feet long and one foot in thickness, and was found by Mr. Thomas Ritchie Simson, of Waitahuna, seven feet below the surface, and three feet above the bed rock, on what is called the Waitahuna heights. It resembles somewhat a piece of waterworn greenstone, and is almost as hard as flint. The grain of the timber is plainly discernible.

Opunaki 3rd feb (from our corespondent) Simson v. Simson. This was a claim for cattle wrongfully held. Thomas Richie Simson deposed: I bought a cow from Simson Bros. They gave me two other cows for it. With increase they now number ten head of cattle, I have applied to them, but have had no answer. I remember lending them £18, for which they were to pay me 10 per cent. I have not received notice of confession. I also lent them £20 to be secured by mortgage, but they have not paid the costs, £5 15s. David Simson: I received a letter from Mr. Hutchinsou demanding delivery of cattle. I refused to deliver them. By Mr. Caplin: I have no cattle of T. R. Simson's. He sold my mother a beast, and we sold it for her, giving her another cow and calf for it. Six or nine months before she died, she called my brother and I, and gave us the cow and her increase, as she said she knew defendant would sell them and drink the money. There was only the calf now with the cow as the other was killed in falling over the cliff. My mother's money bought the cow. It came through the Bank of Australasia. The defendant did no work. We never agreed to pay interest for the £10. The signature to the receipt for £20 is mine. The mortgage was signed by my brother. Defendant was to pay costs by agreement. Only one of the cow's progeny is alive. The cow is worth £6, calf 10s. or £1. Mother told me the money was hers. I have lent defendaut money, and have always treated him kindly. He did not help to build our house. There is a prohibition order against him, and we have had to protect our mother against his violence. Thomas Simson corroborated his brother. D. Simson: Defendant wanted a mortgage. He could have had his money had he wanted it. Judgment for plaintiff: Cow and calf, £6 10s.; loan, £10; mortgage costs, £3 15s,
