The prisoner said, that if his Worship would dis charge her this time, she would take the pledge at once; and she was dismissed on that condition. Hugh O'Neil was charged with a similar offence, and fined ss. Phcebe Chadwick was charged with being drunk and disorderly near the theatre on the pre vious night; she was fined 20s. James Hay ton, the boy'Wuohad, on the previous day, been convicted of stabbing, was brought up for judgment. His Worship said he was un willing to commit him to gaol, and there was no reformatory to which he could, be sent; he should therefore discharge him this time, but he would direct the police to keep watch over him. His Worship said he would draw the attention of the Government to the need of a reformatory in the province to which such offenders could be sent. _ Mute9rologicai, Obsebvations.—ln ad dition to the very interesting, obserrations and remarks, which will be found in another column, Mr. Holmes has sent us an in geniously constructed diagram, containing in small compass the results of thirty day's ob servation of the weather at Christchurch and Hokitika. We notice, on examination of this diagram, that out of thirty recorded observa tions of the direction of the wind during the past month, only on three occasions, the 4th, 2nd, and 26th, was it blowing in the same direction at Christchurch and Hokitika. On three days, the 15th, 18th, and 20th, it was calm with us when there was a N.W. or N. wind on the West Coast. On the 7th, the case was exactly reversed, we had a N.W. wind when there was a calm on the West Coast; and on the 28th. we were in the enjoyment of a S.E, wind when a calm pre vailed at Hokitika, Calms were coincident on East and West Coasts on two days only, the 14th and 19th. The prevailing winds on the West Coast were either from the North, or had a considerable degree of northing in them; on two days only did the wind blow directly from the west. > The rainfall at Hokitika for 18 days was 12.30 in,, and at Christchurch for four days it was 1.27 inches.
