4. wn ———- ' '' Hia Worship (to accused)—Have you anything to say as to why you should not be bound over to keep the peace 1 Accused —It would take a long time to tell you all that has passed for the last five or six years. JSis Worship—l could not listen to that, for I have nothing to do with it. My duty is not to inquire into your griev ance, but simply to ascertain whtthea you brought it before these gentlemen in such a way ai to cause them annoyance. The public street is not a proper place in which to ventilate either private or public grievances The public know pretty well that you have taken certain steps in the matter in approaching Parliament by

petition, and thus your compla nt has been dealt with by the highest tribunal in the country. , . Accused—Yes. Parliament has done Its duty, but the Government have not. Mr Wardell said he had only to decide whether the accused had behaved In snob a way as to cause annoyance to persons using the public thoroughfare. Accused submitted that he had not done anything disrespectful to Ministers, and that as the Premier sometimes took loafers with black eyes into his office, he (Agnew) was surely entitled to acdresa him about his grievance. There was, he contended, no case against him, as he hr d not been “ disrespectful ” to any members of the Ministry. Ministers had not acted honorably to him, and he was not ashamed to tell the country so.

Hia Worship held that the e\ idence, so far as it had gono, showed good grounds for calling upon Agnew to find sureties of the peace. Accused dilated at as great length as the Court would permit upon the Premier’s statement, his better-half standing the while behind the dock, and encouraging him by muttering the name of “ Scobie McKerzie, the member for our district,” £Qd requesting that she should bo allowed . to give evidence. At length her earnest desire to take part In the case was acceded to, and when placed In the b->x she started to relate glibly the histiry of her grievance, when the Court interrupted her, declaring the matter to be irrelevant. She managed, however, to state that Mr Mackenzie, rs representative of their district, would do nothing for her or her husband, so that they were obliged to go to the Premier personally. They had never intuited any member of Parliament while they had been

in Wellington, bat had always “ begged his pardon ” before speaking to such a gentleman. The re were most quiet and inoffensive people, as everybody knew. The charge was a tramped-up affdr, and had been arranged by Mr Ltrnach before they left Dunedin. .Agnew attempted to impugn the varacity of the constable, and then volunteered to be sworn. He stated on catb that members had advised him that as his complaint was la the hands of t 0 Government he ought to speak to Ministers In nfererce to it. Si' Robert was “spl'ed” became witness had set his .Excellency the Governor and the Roman Catholic (Jle.-gy upon him. Mr Wardell, in summing up the evi dence of the c jds tab’s and tbit of the accused and bis wife, said perhaps there were-sp clal reasons why coi.oboratlve evidence had not be called for the prcsecu

lion, but ho thought it would have been better if it had keen • lied However, the accused's attempt d to impetcb the credit of the con it- b o had been unsuc cessful, and the Court was pi spared to accept Stewart’s evidence as to what occurred in the road. Agnew’s conduct bad undoubtedly been insulting and pro voking, and as there was reason to fear that the conduct would be repeated <hore were good grounds f< r the application for sureties. Hla Worship thereupon ordered Agnew to find one surety of £25 for bis good behavior dating the next three months. An alternative charge was withdrawn by the police. After leaving the Court, Aguew stated his determination to refrain from making

any effort to find the requisite bondsman. As nothing has been done in the direction, Mr Wardall bat committeod him to prison for three months, unless la the mean time the surely la forthcoming. ft'ra Aguew has since been pronenadlng the streets [in a state of great excitement, closely attended by a constable.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Cora Exchange report for the week ending Friday, 20th August:— The state of the weather has been most nnpropitious daring the past fortnight, farm work being brought to an entire standstill. Autumn sown wheat is re ported to be very thiq ? and in low hying lands a second sowing in many instances has had to be resorted to "Wheat has had heavy transactions to record, and prices are fairly well main? tained.

Second quality has been changing hands more freely at 3s lid to 4s Id, and chickwheat •is keenly competed for at 3s 6d to 3s 8d Oats are languid.

THE SESSION.

After a somewhat unique and event ful history, extending over nearly fourteen weeks, the third session of

the ninth Parliament of the colony was yesterday brought to a close. It has been maiked by several very disagree able episodes, and has been character ised throughout by a good deal of parly bitterness, which augurs a querulous old age, and which will lead to its demise next year being regarded with a feeling of relief and satisfaction. It has, too, been an unusually talkative one, as evidenced by the bulk of Hansard, and while there has, notwith standing, been a good deal of very useful work accomplished, much has been left undone which it was fondly hoped would have been this year carried out. But dc mortuis nil nisi bonurn, and let us see, therefore, what can be said on the credit side. Despite all opposition and the utmost efforts of those who desired to kill the East and West Coast Railway scheme, the Bill, which ratifies the contract with the London Company has been passed, and the work it authorises is now on the eve of commencement, and there is every reason to hope that a few years will see it carried to completion, and a great impetus given to the progress of Canterbury and the West Coast, Quite a group of local government measures have been passed, including the Counties Act, Municipal Corpora lions Act, Local Bodies Loans Act, and Government Loan to Local Bodies Act, all calculated to extend the powers of local administration, and to assist in the

development of the resources ol the country. Much Ins also been done to wards improving the machinery for the administration of hospitals and chari table aid, though we regret that a grievance under which this locality suffers failed to obtain redress despite the best efforts of our local represen l; lives. The Government Life Assur ance Department has been again very properly brought under the direct control of Parliament, and a measure for the reform of the Civil Service has been placed upon the statute book. Authority has been given for the establishment of a parcels post, and the Defence and Police have been placed on a bitter footing. The whole system of the administration of Native lands has been revolutionised, a slfip put to the spoiling qf the Native race and the aggregation of enormous estates in the hands of the Pakeha land sharks. Our mining laws have been revised and consolidated by the Mines Act, Mining Act, and Coal

Mines Act, and measures have been

passed for the amendment of the laws relating to the management of the Sheep Departments and the sup-

pression of that plague of sheep owners, the rabbit nuisance. Then, in the Department of Justice, we have a most merciful measure placed on the statute book in the shape of the First Offenders Act, the provisions of which we have detailed in a previous article; and, lastly, provision has been made, by the new loan sanctioned, for carrying on with reasonable rapidity the construction of the various railway works throughout the colony and their completion to points at which they may fairly be expected to yield paying results. Altogether, this is a good record of work done, and had it not been for the regrettable fact that nothing has been accomplished (despite numerous efforts) to remove the diffi culties which stand in the way of the settlement of tfye land, we should be entirely satisfied. As tt ig, however, notwithstanding its excellent record in other respects, the session of iBS6 must be regarded as in this most im portant particular a grievously dis appointing one.— Mail,
