Natal: The Natal (Point) Railway: On the 3rd February the half-yearly meeting of this institution took place. It is necessary, so as to prevent any exaggerated notion of the enterprise, to remind our readers abroad (remarks the Mercury) that this is a small line not quite three miles long, which connects the port establishment with the town. … … Some of the shareholders animadverted on the mechanical management on the line, and the main question was deferred to another meeting. The following resolutions were passed: — Moved by Mr. Pinsent, “That the accounts, together with the auditors’ reports, be received, printed, and circulated, and that with respect to the issue of the £2,130 and £5,000 the directors be requested to prepare an estimate of the entire cost of the contemplated improvements, including wharfage extensions mentioned in their report, and call a special general meeting to lay their views before the shareholders.” … (continues) …

Charge of Stealing a Spoon: John Frost was charged with stealing a spoon, the property of Thomas Graves, carpenter of Uffculme. Elizabeth Graves, the wife, said that she missed a spoon on the I8th of April, and having seen one which she considered to be hers in the defendant’s house, she sent for it, but did not obtain it. She was sure the one produced, which was found in the prisoner’s house by P.C. Pinsent, was hers; but there was no private mark on it, and she could only tell from the general appearance. The families lived in adjoining houses, and frequently visited one another. The Bench considered the evidence was not sufficiently strong to send the case for trial and dismissed the defendant with caution.
