BUNBURY.
Bunbury, April 22.
There is a rumour that the Premier will
visit Bunbury on Thursday next. The
local officials, it is stated, have received
information that the Premier will tilt the
first stone into the breakwater on that day,
but what form the celebration will take it
is impossible to forcast. The Town Coun-
cil have had no intimation of the Premier's
visit and of the ceremony which it is pre-
sumed will accompany such an important
local event. Consequently they have come
to the conclusion that they have no option
but to wait until they are placed in receipt
of definite official information.
At the Wellington Quarter Sessions to-
day, Mr. Locke, one of the candidates for
the Sussex electorate, was fined £3 for
non-attendance as a juryman. Mr. J.
Clark was also fined £2 for neglecting to
attend when called to serve as a juror.
Both threw themselves on the mercy of
the court.
At the Wellington Quarter Sessions yes-
terday, George Gordon and James Jackson
were charged with feloniously assaulting
John Harrison on January 18th. Gordon,
who was convicted in 1866 of a similar
offence, and has since been before the
court on numerous occasions, received a
sentence of 10 years' penal servitude, the
chairman remarking that the prisoner
might consider himself fortunate that
Harrison did not die, as in that case he
would have been tried on a charge of
murder. James Jackson was sentenced to
7 years' penal servitude.
John Davis, charged with assaulting
and robbing Henry Rees, of £7, on the 9th
April, was sentenced to three years' penal
servitude an a verdict of assault with
intent to rob.
