custody of two children. This has. been the longest sitting but one held here since the Supreme Court was instituted thirty years ago. The business has been mostly on the civil side. It is probable that a young girl named Baxter, from Auckland, will be charged with infanticide or concealment of birth at "Rant lnv«r cargill. The nature of the charge, if any, will depend on the verdict of the Coroner's jury ta-morrbw. It is stated that the child had lived and been suffocated m the absence of assistance, none of the inmates of the house being aware of the birth for some time after the •'occurrence.

Extraordinary En durance.

Themanager of Mr Molesworth Greene's Bulloo Downs station m Queensland has furnished that gentleman (says the " Argus ") with an extraordinary record of endurance on the part of a laborer who was on hia way to the station. Tl.e man, whose name is F. Greenwood, started from Thnrgominc'Hli for Bulloo Downs m search of work. On the roa.l he met a black boy from the stnlion named Dicky, who was «oin«? for iho n.nil, and they camped together m tho row. Dicky either wrongly directed him, or the man | misunderstood the boy's directions as to the proper track to take. However, the man on reaching a river decided to Iry and cross if. He cot over the iir»t channel with some difficulty and enrnped on a sandhill, intending to cross the next channel on the following morning, but the water rose so high during the night that he failed m the attempt, and simply had to remain, on the islani until ro lieved. This relief did not come until he had been just4sdays witbouth'repr cooked food, >aihid, i strange to say, survived the terrible exposure an I privation which he experienced. During the 45 days the only food he had was 40 raw tish, 12 eggs, and grass, while during the last three weeks he oiily had three eggs and grass. Unfortunately he was not weighed when brought to tl«s station, but after lie had improved considerably his weight was found to be Bst 31b, his normal we;ght, i»h»n m health, being list 41b. He was unable to swim; a stroke, and when leav ing Thargomindah merely had 41b of flour and an equivalent of sugar and tea. The man's story with regard to dates is ac cepted as true and reliable because the parts relating to the meeting with the blackboy and the relief of Greenwood tally exactly with the station records. Green wood kept a diary of 'his/experiences.

Profitable Hypnotising.

The " New York Sunday Sun " pub lishes thefoHowingextraordinary story, dated from Mer, Mexico, a town of 1500 inhabitants on the Rio Grande, 150 miles from its mouth :—Ten days ago an individual, who gave the name «f IVancisea Perez, arrived at Mier, and put up at the chief hotel. At dinner on the second day a waiter removed all tht bottles of wine m front of the persons who were dining, and carried them to the table where Perez sat. The angry guests called up the pro prietor, m answer to whom the waiter J ■aid Perez had ordered him to take the •wine. Perez denied that he had told him anything of the kind, and the man was dismissed. During the afternoon of the same day one of the guests pre sented Perez with a magnificent watch, while a barman gave him a revolver. The next day presents began to pour m upon Perez,'amoisg them being a hand some bouquet with the naros of a lady attached to it.. She explained to her friends that the man m passing her j had asked her to send him the flowers. Other persons who had made presents to Perei: also stated that they had been asked by him for the articles given, and that they had found it impossible to resist the request. A number of citizens appointed a Com mittee of ten,to wait upon Perez, and warn him that he would be killed un less he left: the town. Perez was alarmed, and «xplained ". that he was a victim of involuntary hypnotism. He aid he was twenty-seven years of age;, nd a native of New Mexico. He had been trained for the priesthood for several years m Rome, . and while abroact had practised hypnotism, with which he had made marvellous? suc cesses. In consequence of this it had become a passion with him, and he could not K«si»t practising his gift upon those about him* The Committee permitted Perez to leave/the; city, and he departed for parts' unknown.

POLITICAL.

(from our parliamentary CORRESPONDENT.) Wellington, June 25. The speech of Mr Scobie McKenzie is the talk of the lobbies this morning. Ifc is generally considered that he and Sir Sir John Hall, are the only heavy guns of the Opposition. The Government party dread the latter very mud more than Kjobie's brilliant business. The Govern ment party is, however, remarkably united, and its position is absolutely un shaken. The House will ndjonrn at 2.30 out of respect to the memory of Captain Fraser. The representatives of the Licensed Victuallers were interviewing members to-day, to get them to agree to an amendment on the Licensing- Act, proj viding for the right of appeal t« thj. Supreme Court from decisions of Licensiu Committees. Wellington, June 26. The Public Trust Commissioners' re port, with the evidence, is published. It is a bulky volume and much sought after. Appended to it are diagrams of folios m actual use, showing a most remarkable state of bookkeeping. Blots, etc., are reproduced.

ST. JOHN'S LODGE INSTALLATION" The Installation of Worshipful Master and investituie of officers of St. John's Lodge, No. 1858, E.G., took place at the Masonic Hail on Wednesday evening. There w»s an attendance of about fifty, including visitors from other provinces.' The ceremony was conducted by Bro E. G-. Crisp, P.M., assisted by Bros C Braddell and Ei J. Paul, P.M.'s, Somer set Lodge, E. 0., and Bros J. Scaly, W.M., and W. Malcolm, F.M., S.W., of the Thistle Lodge, S.C. Theniusicalportion of the ceremony was carried out by a strong choir with Bro.

A Licensing Law Point.

[PEK PIIKSS ASSOCIATION.] Chbistchuruh, .Tunt 26. At the R.M. Court this morning a case was commenced against William James Rudd, for having acted a.? a licensing commissioner for Sydenham, he being the holder of a paid office under the Govern ment of the colony, to wit, the office of a life insurance agent and canvasser, con trary to clause 11 of the Licensing Act. The Bench found that the charge was established, and inflicted a nominal penalty of one shilling and costs. The decision makes Radd's seat on the Com mit tee vacant.

By the transposition of two para graphs m our report of yesterday of the police enquiry, Messrs Crisp, Rollitt, Pium-11, and j Hugo Fried lander appeared m the report us having been called by Mr Wilding for the ..defence. They were witnesses for the prose cution, as their evidence showe.l. At the coursing meeting at Christchurch on Wednesday and Thursday, the Sockburn Cup was won by Mr Cooper's Taiuui; the St Leger by Mr McColm's Hurricane (by Ringwopd—Seabreeze, bred by Mr Lewis, Tinwald); and Mr McCaim's Ainiee ran up to Mr Forward's East Lynn, for the Supple mentary Stakes. The Sydentiatn Licensing Committee have granted a license to a third hotel, the Wal tham Crms, m obedience to Mr Justice Den niston'a recent ruling, and under strong pro test. ] The other five application?; have been further' adjourned to July 6th, the committee intimating that they consider that the houses are not required m the 'neighbour hood. , ;' Captain Edwin telegraphed as follows at 1.30 Ip.rn. on Thursday :—" North-east to north-west and gale with rain after twelve hours from now ; glass further fall; weather continue cold till midnight." We trust that the prediction of rain is not another "hope deferred " to make our "hearts sink." A pigeon flying race from Tiinani to Christchuroh took place on Wednesday m I connection with the Christchurch Poultry Society's Shaw. There were twenty-s Jx entries, and the winner (Mr S. B. Parker's Tarn O'Shanter) accomplished 1334 yards per | minute, the second 1326 yards, and the third 1323 yards per minute. Mr John Newman, of the Somerset Stables* has been m bad luck's way r ;ccntly. Only three weeks ago one of his best horses died upon his hands, and lash evening, by a mishap m the yard, another suffered injury sufficient to necessitate its destruction. "Paddy," the little bay horse, well-known to patroria of the Somerset Stables, was being brought into the yard, and engaging m a frolic with the other horses, received a kick from one of them that broke his leg above the hock. The horse, of course, had to be destroyed.
