POLICE. - On Thursday, Messrs W. Lamrock, J. E. Onus and F. J. Gaw sat in a case of alleged wood stealing, in which Albert London was prosecutor and William Novison was defendant. Defendant is an engineman employed on the railway, and complainant accuses him of taking his wood out of a truck and pitching it off at his residence by the side of the line. On account of complainant's solicitor not putting in an appearance, he was unable to go on and applied for an adjournment, which was granted. Mr. Richardson appeared for defendant.

Salis Flats C. of England.
A brief outline of the origin and progress of the Church of England Sunday-school and services and the erection of a Church at Salis Flats may not be uninteresting to some of your many readers. About two years ago a Sunday-school was started in this place in the private house of Mr. Albert London under the supervision of Miss Winter, who was assisted in her work by the Misses Watt, Sunderland, and others. This school grew rapidly, and soon became too large for the available rooms and verandah space of Mr. London's house. The week-day services held by the clergy man of the parish, and the Sunday services conducted by Mr. A. Dunstan, were well received, and much appreciated by the people, who in every way showed a lively interest in these different services. These encouraging circumstances suggested the advisableness of making an effort to build a small Church, and after a little prudent delay the effort was initiated. Our worthy and liberal Member, Mr. S. Burdekin, headed the list with 5p. By services of song, grant of 25p from St. Phillip's, Sydney, and direct and voluntary contributions solicited by Miss Winter, Mr. A. London, and others, sufficient funds were secured to commence the building, when tenders were called, and that of Mr Hind, of Manly, was accepted. The Church is 25 feet long, by 15 feet wide, and is composed of studs and weatherboard, iron roof, and Gothic windows and door ; and it is furnished with a pulpit and suitable seats. The actual value of the building is much greater than the amount of cost, because the committee purchased all materials, and the carting and other things were done gratuitously by Messrs Turner, Yarnall, London, and others. The builder, Mr. Hind, has done his work well in every particular, and likewise Mr. Williams his work in the painting. The Church, being completed, was opened last Sunday week. The Rev. H. Plume took the opening service, and preached a suitable and able sermon to an overflowing and attentive congregation. A tea-meeting was held on the following Friday in connection with the opening. A large booth of bushes and vines, adorned with flowers, was erected near the Church ; the Church itself was prettily decorated with ferns and flowers and every preparation was made to satisfy the appetites and to gratify the eyes of a large number of visitors. Mr. Beveridge, of Windsor, supplied the viands with his usual skill, and when the tables were spread with these good things, and beautified with vases of flowers, and presided over by numerous and pleasant ladies, every thing within the rustic booth looked pleasing and inviting. But unfortunately for the success of this event, the day was wet and the roads muddy, and consequently the visitors were less than were expected. Yet about 150 took tea during the early part of the afternoon, but the rain setting in more heavily, all the arrangements were interfered with, and the visitors had to leave for their homes. As many tickets were sold to persons who were prevented from being present by the rain, it is estimated that the tea-meeting will give a clear profit of between 7p and 10p. The little church was opened free of debt, and the profit of the tea-meeting will enable the committee to do something towards fencing the land and providing a water-tank for the use of the children attending the Sunday-school, some of whom had to walk a long distance. The land on which the church is erected was given by Mr. Albert London ; and Mrs Plume, of Barker College, has given a harmonium. If any person who reads this should be inclined to give an iron tank, the committee will gratefully accept it. The particulars of receipts and expenses in connection with this matter will be duly published in the parochial accounts at Easter.
