BIRTHDAY HONOKS. The London correspondent of the ••Manchester Courier" hears that the birthday list of honours will be a short one, and will be found to merely consist of departmental honours and promotions in the orders of knighthood, especially in the Indian order?, consequent upon the opening of the Imperial Institute. This will be a disappointment to many, for it was thought that the lack of notabilities in the New Year's list would be compen sated for by a more than usually lavish distribution of honours in May. As an explanation of the smaHness of the former list, the correspondent learns that the Prime Minister did submit to the Queen • good many names of noblemen and gentleman whom he wished Her Majesty to honour, containing proposals among others for the creation of two nnw baro nets, a new peer, and for two or three advances in the peerage. But the Queen absolutely declined to grant his request in no less than three casec, whereupon Mr Gladstone, it is added, was so annoyed that he begged for permission to with draw all his recommendation!), which permission was granted. A BICK TIGKR. The •' Adelaide Register " says : — Latest advices from the sick chamber of the ailing tiger at the Zoo state that the patient is as well as can be expected. Veterinary >6urgeon Bickford lanced the bad foot, and the poor beast was much relieved. It had suffered so much pain that its ferocity was quite gone, and it submitted quietly to the relieving opera tion. The head keeper of the Zoo had been a kind nurse to the sick tiger, and the animal had recognised a friend in him, allowing him to constantly bathe the swollen foot with hot water and rub it with ointment prescribed by Mr Bick ford. This tiger is a valuable animal, and worth all the attention bestowed upon it. AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT. A tradesman living in the Eve Yicille de Temple in Paris has been the victim of an accident which surely must be absolutely unique ot its kind. Going into a hairdresser's in his neighborhood he asked to have his head shampooed. •• Make the water werm," he said, •' as I have a bad cold." The operator, who does not seem to be provided with an ordinary hot-water apparatus, pent his little girl into the kitchen to fetch a saucepan from the stove. The saucepan was brought, and some of the contents were poured over the customer's head. Instantly he set up a yell that could be heard in the next street. To his horror the hairdresser found that he had been using diluted sulphuric acid, which he had intended for pouring down in places where rats appeared. His wife had made a mistake and put the fluid in the sauce pan. Fortunately the customer's eyes were uninjured, but h:s Bcalp was seriously burned, and after having his head bandaged at an adjoining chemist's he had to be driven home. DAMAGES, £600. Who left the railway carriage door ajar ? is the difficult question which a jury at the Manchester assizes'have been called on to decide. It was a momentous one for Grace Standing, a weaver girl of Preston, who had brought an action against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, for upon it depended her claim to compensation for the loss of a leg and other grievous personal in juries. The poor girl, as the train was running into Preston station, had risen to reach down an umbrella and parcel in the rack over her head, when * jerk on rounding i curve hurled her against the door, which giving way, she was thrown. out and dragged along between the carriage footboard and the platform. Of course, if the handle had been left un fastened by the negligence of a railway porter, the company were liable ', but it was suggested by the counsel for the defendants that it had been opened by a passenger. In support of this theory, it was deposed thac the plaintiff soon after the occurrence, said that she had " seen a gentleman with his hand towards the door." But it appeared that when pointedly asked the question, she answered that she sw no one open the door. The jury finally found for the plaintiff, with damages £600. ; MORMONS IN CANADA. It is -hot generally known that a colony of Moimons has for some years been established in the north-west of Canada, but the interesting report just presented to the Canadian Parliament affords irre fragable evidence of the fact. The settlers number ninety-three families; they possess 1500 acres of land in culti vation, part of which they have irrigated, and a few odd hundreds of thousands under (trass. They have a cheese factory, astwmill.and coalmines. Those who know with what liberal Bhowers of mud certain American papers are wont to be spatter the Latter Day Saints will per haps be surprised to hear that the new colonists are reported as ** enterprising, thrifty, industrious, and most orderly. Those who know that they showed just these qualities at Salt lake City will not. Jn fact there is little to be brought against the Mormons, except the galling prophetocracy cf their government and their marriage laws. The Canadian Go vernment guarded against the latter by heavy penalties upon polygamy.

SUPREME COURT.

[per prkss association.] Auckland, May 29. At the criminal sittings to-day the calendar was not unusually large. Judge Connolly referred to the fatal prize fight, resulting in the death of Forgie, and expressed surprise that the police had been present and did not interfere until Forgie was too exhausted to continue. The Judge pointed out that in law any fight, whether with or without gloves, for a prize, must be a priz t fight. If death ensued it was manslaughter. The Judge also commented severely up'-u the fact tkat the press had departed from the wholesome custom of not commenting upon cases that were awaiting trial. T. A. Heaps pleaded guilty to larceny and horse stealing, and got six months ; W. A. JtJrainton pleaded guilty to forging and uttering a cheque, and was sentenced to two years; Alfred Ashenden, guilty of stealing a quantity of clothing, was sent to gaol for six months j Henry Small was found guilty of larceny, and got twelve months. The Grand Jury returned no bill in the case of Nicholson, who was charged with manslaughter, as the outcome of the recent prize fight. The jury ako failed to find true bills against Lindsay Oooke, W. Burns, J, Jakefield, W. McManamin, J. McConnell, W. D. O'Meara, P..J. Partridge, James Saxon, and Burns, the other men charged with aiding and abett ing at this fight. Wellington, May 29. The calendar contains the names of 15 persons, against whom there are 19 charges. In Addressing the Grind Jury, Mr Justice Richmond referred to the fact that with two exceptions all the in dictments were for larceny, seven being for stealing from dwell ngs in the city. Joseph Rhodes was convicted of the forgery of a cheque and orders to various amounts. Prisoner had only just finished a nine months' sentence when the present offences were committed. He defended himself, and tried to convince tho jury tha*- the forgeries wore the work of a friend of his who accompanied him to Onehunga. Sentence was deferred. John Charles Williams was found guilty of the larceny of harness, but was acquitted of the larceny of a set of tools. George Triggs was convicted of break ing into a shop in Cuba street ard stealing a cash box. Sentence was deferred. Chbistchurch, May 29. Other sentences passed were as follows: —Agnes Slater, for larceny, 3 months ; William Campbell and Michael Cullen, for assault and robbery, to 18 months each. May^. In the case of Frederick Porter, Bernard Brown, Minnie Bench and Mary M'Mahon charged with robbery from the person of Charles Hanlay, in the house of the last-named prisoner, on March 4, the jury failed to agree and were locked up for the night. On their return the Court found a verdict of guilty against Porter, and not guilty against the others. Sentence was deferred as there was an other indictment against the prisoners. This having been heard, and the prisoners found guilty. Porter, who had jnst served a sentence was sent back to gaol for two yean* with hard labor and the others to six months each. T>unedin, May 27. The criminal calendar comprises five charges against six prisoners. None of the offences are serions.

Justice Richmond on "Night Houses."

[PBK PRESS ASSOCIATION, j Wellington, May 29. In his charge to the Grand Jury . ihia morning, Justice Richmond made some severe remarks on the administration of the Licensing Act in Wellington. He said the manners and customs in the city in the small hours of the morning could not be called satisfactory. He did not blamfl anybody, but would say there was a laxity of administration of the existing licensing law which was very much to be deplored. If the evidence in many de positions which came before him was to be believei, it appeared that liquor could be obtained from licensed houses between twelve and one in the morning. The Judge, however, could say nothing in these cases reflecting on persons not con cerned in a charge. However, when circumstances such as he mentioned were proved in Court, as they frequently were, , it was the duty of the police to take cog nisance of the fact and lay particulars before the Licensing Committee. To wilfully allow drunkenness on the pre mises of licensed houses after the closing hour was sufficient to cause loss of Keens?, and yet over and over again it was proved in Coutt that men were allowed to soak in certain hotels at all hours. If be (Justice Rhhmond) had anything to do in the matter, the license of a man who al lowed such a thing would be scone tor ever. The present, however, wal no proper oc casion for mentioning names, but as the abolition of the functions of the Grand Juries was impending, this might be the J*st opportunity he would have of address ing them, and, as representing the magistracy of the city, he wished to call attention to the circumstanoes he re counted. ■ .
