Mr. J. K. Brown, formerly of Oamaru, has started a paper called the Chronicle, in Nor-manton, Northern Queensland. Mr. Brown edits the journal, and combines with this work the duties of an auctioneer, commission agent, and New Zealand produce merchant.

At Gisborne on the 5th September, John Baldwin, editor of the Independent, was found guilty on three counts of libelling John Bourke, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The charges against Flora Baldwin, his wife, and proprietress of the paper, were withdrawn.
