The police applied for a remand. Mr ponnelly said the accused had already been remanded, and he asked the police now to offer some evidenoe to justify the prisoner's further detention untried. "Tho greater part of the money, viz , £200, had, on the morn ing after the supposed robbery, been found oa a billiard-room floor and restored. Sub- Inspector O'Brien said the prosecutor, coming from the country, fell in with the accused, and they wire drinking together on the 11th nearly all day. The prosecutor said the accused took his money. When the accused was arrested there was found oh him a £5 note, Baid to be part of the missing money. He said he got the note from a man in Ashburton, but the statement was found to be false. The accused had also tried to "eouare" the charge by offering money to tb# prosecutor.

Obituary.—At Lakeside, on Friday!, there passed away another old settler, in the person of Mrs John Lamble, aenr., mother of Mr John Jjimbie, of Kyle.

She was a native of Ayrshire, Scot« land, and in her timo was celebrated as a cheese maker. Her four sons are all far mer* and successful colonists, apd her hus band survives her. Mrs Lambie was a woman oi strong character, sterling up* Sness bu"^ot!lonate wi6hal ' ang the Send of aI.V After -aching foar score years, one cannot hope to be oi very great practical service to those around, but the kindly disposition of Mrs Lnmbie, and the many years of usefulness she spent among the Lakeside people before the weight of years circumscribed her sphere, will keep her memory green in the wide circle of friends who knew her, Mr Lambie some time ago, desirous of possessing a record of his mother's living voice, asked her to recite for his phonograph» The old lady recited the well-known and beautiful hymn, "O God of Bethel," and this is perhaps one of the best records Mr Lambie possesses—cer tainly it will be the most treasured by him.

THE STEAMER PERTHSHIRE.

United Press Association—By Eleobric Telegraph. Invercaroill, May 19. The Ilir.emoa arrived at the Bluff to-night after aix days' search for the Perthshire on the wist coast, round the Solandera and Stewart Islajad, without finding wreckage cf any kind. The barque Acacia was spoken an-i reported that she had seen nothing un usual. The Hinemoa had southeasterly weaijher till Wednesday, then a strong north northwest gale for & day, followed by variable winds till her arrival. Dunedin, May 19 On the assumption that the Perthshire was disabled near the New South Wales coast and blown north, the Wanaka's captain was instiucted in making the search to traversfl the ocean 300 or 400 miles north of ihe Perthshire's course. The captain has permission to take three days beyond tho usual trip. The W&naka may, therefore, be expected to reach Wellington about Thurs day next. It she doea not report by then, it .may be assumed that she has fallen in I with the Perthshire.

THE STEAMER OHAU.

United Press Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph, Wellington, May 18 The Brunner returned to-night and found no trace of the overdue steamer Ohau, which left Greymouth for Dunedin with 800 tone of coal on Friday last, and has nob been heard of or seen since Saturday last. At that time the Ohau was off Cape Oampbell, in the thick of the fierce southerly gale experienced here last week, and was shipping a considerable quantity of water. Shipping experts fear that her hatches have been forced off, and that the steamer has foundered with all hands. Vessels of the class of the Ohau have very little top hamper, and that may explain, , if she foundered, why no wreckage has been discovered. So far as known tho steamer had no passengers. Captain Brewer was in command of the Ohau, and his officers are Messrs McPheraon and Warrender; Mr R, Barns, formerly of the Pukain, is chief engineer, and is assisted by Messrs J. Young and Stevenson. Besides the above she would have about sixteen hands, including stewards, firemen, seamen, and cooks. The Ohau is sister ship to the Taupo and was built by Denny Bros, in 1884, her gross tonage being 740. The Brunner Uavee again at three in the morning to search the sounds on the southern Bide of Cook Strait. Gkbymouth, May 20 The Ohau, in addition to 800 tons of coal, had thirteen thousand feet of timber on deck. She had no passengers.

No further tidings of the Ohau have been received in Lyttelton, and much sympathy is felt for Captain Baewer and the crew, who, it is feared, have found a watery grave.

COURT OF APPEAL.

United Press Asiociation—By Elecfcria Telegraph Wellington, May 19 On the motion of Mr Bell, the shelter sheds case was this morning struck off the Court of Appeal list. This was a special caee dealing with a difference between the Wellington Corporation acd the Government as to the validity of Government's order taking the site for a railway station. Negotiations are proceeding upon the matter and hence the action in withdrawing the case from the present sitting of the Appeal Court. The Appeal Court declined Mr Jellicoe'e application for the rehearing asked by him yesterday in connection with the lafcter's affidavits, which the court held to be im pertinent and scandalous. Later Mr Rich mond, on behalf of Wellington Lw Society, applied for a rule nisi, calling upon Mr JeUieoo to show cause why his name should not be struck off the Hat of practising barristers and solicitors. The grounds for the motion were that Mr Jellicoe had been guilty of professional misconduct in sweariog and filing an affidavit, dated 11th February, in the Supreme Court at Wellington ia an action—Ste'nmann v De Courte—which affidavit is scandalous and impertinent, and has been removed from Ihe file by order of the court on that ground, and is now in the custody of the registrar of the court at Wellington, and which affidavit was not filed honestly and in good faith, but only for the purpose of insult and annoyance to one of the judges of the C >urt. After hear ing counsel rule nisi was granted, and was made returnable on Tuesday bcxc for con sideration whether it should be made absolute. Mr JelJicoe's application for the rehearing of she Court's judgment recently given will also be heard before His Honor on Tuesday- The readmisaion of Messrs Harper and Maude as solicitors carries with it admission as barristers. This afternoon the CourO of Appeal was engaged hearing argument in the National Bank of New Zealand v Barclay and others. The main question involved was whether the English mortgagee waa entitled to charge interest on the principal moneys secured by mortgage of land in New Zealand until the amount actually arrived in England, The court unanimously decided that no interest was chargeable after payment) in New Zea land. All the cases on the list are now heard and judgement will be delivered on Tues day.

A CRUSADE AGAINST CONSUMP TION.

An important movement has been j inaugurated by a meeting held at j Maryborough House, th§ Prince of Wales in the chair, to combat the appallingly wide-spread disease of con- i sumption. j It was stated that there are sixty thousand deaths directly from tuber culosis in England and Wales alone every year, and at least ten thousand more indirectly. Sir William Broad bent, perhaps the leading consumption specialist, has been the chief mover in forming the National Association for the Prevention of Consumption, in the interest of which the meeting was held. In addition to the Prince of Wales, Lord Salisbury and Lord Roaebery were among the speakers. It ia now definitely known, said Sir William Broadbent, that consumption is a contagious disease ; that it is com municated from person to person, and from animal to man; and it arises in no other way. Countless millions of bacilli of tuber* culosis infect the diseased lungs or in testines, The principal way in which they are conveyed from a diseased to a healthy person is by means of expec toration, The spittle contains them in enormous numbers, and when dried they are suspended in the atmosphere, especially of ill-ventilated rooms, and inhaled. The filthy halit of spitting in streets and public vehicles waa denounced by Sir William, who wished that the laws adopted by some American cities against the habit were imported. Then cows are very subject to tuber culosis, and the bacilli may infect the milk, which he urged should always be boiled or sterilised'at home. The flesh of tuberculous animals may also con tain the bacilli. The new association aims (1) at the education of the public as to the means of presenting the spread of consump tion from those already suffering with the disease; (2) the extinguishing of tuberculosis in cattle; (3) the erection of sanatoria for the open air treatment of the disease. V The consumptive patient himself should be induced to observe the pre cautions recoir mended by the Associa tion foir the protection of his family and friends. deln regard to sanatoria, it is now sumonstrated that there are plenty of thitable places in this country wi tin c reach of all. The London partners of Messrs Wernher and Beit have undertaken to I erect and equip Buch a sanatorium at a I cost of £20,000. Sir William argued that poor-law authorities would find it more economical to provide sanatoria where tuberculous patients could re cover, than to send them to infirmaries to die, and municipalities should feel it their duty to provide sanatoria for the consumptive as well as for fever patients. Already branches of the Association have been formed at York, Norwich, Ipswich, Huddersfield, and other towns, and York has quickly raised a consider able sum towards the erection of a sanatorium.

The husband of a drunken woman (saved from imprisonment and sent to Lady Henry Somerset's Home by the instrumentality of the Rev. Joseph Jackson) sued Mr Jackson in the county court for damages for the loss of his wife's services, but was non suited. The report of the London Temper* ance Hospital shows that during the year alcohol was administered in that institution to only five patients out of a total of over 8000, including out patients, Of the five cases four proved fatal, After close inquiry, Mr Axton, of Manchester, has arrived at the con clusion that the French are the greatest consumers of alcohol in Europe, and the consumption is so much on the in crease as to be a source of regret and alarm to all thoughtful patriots. The Americans are the most temperate people in the civilised world. They have also more freely and completely than any other nation placed the liquor traffic under proper control. Some of the American States have adopted a full measure of prohibition, and even where this heroic remedy has been applied lotal option in varying forms is almost universal. The French consumption per head is 8 606 per head of population; the American, 1232 gallons; the British, 2467; the Ger man, 2-620; the Swiss, 4 915. What kills soldiers.—Lord Roberts, speaking at the half-yearly meeting of j the Army Temperance Association,' declared that the membership of the latter body was greatest in those corps which had the least crime and the fewest admissions to hospitals. During a war infinitely more deaths occurred among soldiers from disease than from the enemy's guns, rifles, and sabres. The association not only raised the moral status of the soldiers, and rendered them more fit for duty when In the ranks, but also materially assisted them to obtain suitable em ployment when they retired into civil life. The great cause of temperance was in its Infancy in 1837, when the Queen ascended the throne, and was violently opposed by all grades of society. The Queen, however, favoured the move ment, and in the same year as she commenced her reign she consented to become the patroness of the British and Foreign Temperance Society, Her Majesty has always taken an interest !in the Bands of Hope, and on the occasion of $er Jubilee, eleven years ago, sihe received at Windsor the founder of the Union, the late Mr Shirley, and the President, Sir George Williams, One of the most remarkable and successful movements was the founding of the Irish Temperamce Society. Within a few years more than 4,000,000 people signed the pledge,
