Worship, but ■would have “ none from that fellow.” He then went on to show that Mr. Poyntz was charging for rent twice over, as two weeks’ rent had been paid, and in a rambling sort of way attempted to shake Mr. Poyntz’s credibility about his .dates. Ultimately his Worship cut short the thread of the narrative, and said Mr. Foley could not go behind the agreement he had himself signed, so judgment would be given, with costs, for plaintiff. Mr. Foley then came down from the box, and arranged with the Clerk about payment, looking unutterable things the while at Mr. Branson, and causing laughter in Court. INTERPLEADER. - . Wm. Stoddart, in the case of Moran v. R. Mathews ; and Wm. Mathews, in the case of Conway v. R.. Mathews, recovered cattle that had been lent by them to R. Mathews, and seized from him by the • bailiff. M‘Rae v. Harris—Claim L 45 9s. for cab hire, and amounts of judgment ob tained by J. E. H. Harris in the Temuka Court against certain parties whom M‘Rae had sued, and while acting as M‘Rae’s solicitor. The hearing occupied a con siderable time, the Court sitting till six o’clock. Mr. Harris contended that the whole matter was simply one of accounts, and on the 15th of January he and M‘Rae had had a final squaring up, and at that date, which was a few; days previous to defendant’s removal to Dunedin there was only L 3 due toM‘Rae, which sum was to be recovered from Mr. Ireland. The case was adjourned till this morning.

Saturday, July 10.

(Before Mr. F. Guinness, R.M.)

■ Mcßae v. Harris.—Case adjourned from previous Court day. Mr. Harris stated that, from a conversa tion which lie had had with the plaintiff, he believed that - the matter could be settled amicably by a little mutual agree ment.

His Worship perfectly coincided with the.remarks made by Mr. Harris, as the im pression left on his mind frorii what trans pired the day previous, the matter was solely one of account, and as far as he could see, it would be rather difficult for the Court to give an equitable decision. He would suggest that the dispute be referred to two arbitrators, and in the meantime the case be adjourned for a week. Both parties agreed to the course sug gested being taken, and the case was accordingly adjourned until next Saturday, without costs.

Cambridge School Committee.

A meeting of the Cambridge School Committee was held in the school last 1 Tuesday evening. Present—Messrs. Megson (in the chair) Watkins, Bill, Grayburn, Lloyd, and Margetts. Alter the minutes of the last meeting had been read and confirmed, the Chair man read some correspondence he had had with the Board on a matter which had

cropped up since last meeting, and on the > motion of Mr. Watkins it was resolved • that the Chairman’s action be approved. The schoolmaster’s report was read and 7 considered satisfactory. Be the gymnastic apparatus mentioned in it, Mr. Lill pro prosed, seconded, by Mr. Margetts, that the Committee ask the Board to sanction the erection of Borne gymnastic apparatus and swings. Carried. The ground between the school door and gate requiring some gravel it was proposed by Mr. Watkins, and carried, that tenders be called for carting ten loads more or less, of shingle on to the ground and that the Chairman accept tenders for the same. The master having asked for some fire wood, it was resolved, on the motion of ■Mr. Grayburn—“That a quarter-cord of wood be obtained and cut up for school use.” , Be Mr. Williamson’s insolvency, the Chairman stated that at a meeting of the creditors held on the 3rd of July, Mr. Williamson had offered to pay twenty shillings in the pound, by monthly in stalments, which had been accepted, and that he had given an order to the trustee, drawn on the Chairman, to retain each in stalment, and pay it over to the trustee. After some discussion on the matter, it was moved by Mr. Watkins, seconded by Mr. Margetts “That the Committee refuse to endorse the order, or in any way become responsible for his liabilities, he being qualified to make each payment \ , himself. ’ ’ —Carried. ,i ' The Chairman tendered his resignation, . but he was unanimously asked to continue in office, which he consented to do. The master having applied for the use

-of the school to hold entertainments for ■>■ the purpose of raising funds for the pur chasa of a harmonium for the school, it -was unanimously resolved to grant his re > quest.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Friday, July 9. The House met at 2.30. PETITION.

Sir George Grey presented a petition from 900 electors at the Thames, stating

that they viewed with alarm the decision of the Committee re the Christchurch ’ election, and praying that the finding of the .Committee, that Sir George Grey had not been duly elected for, Christchurch, should be expunged from the records of the House. MOTION. Mr. Barron gave notice that he would move— ‘‘ That, in view of the serious loss which the premature withdrawal of sub sidies is certain to cause local bodies, which have made financial arrangements dependent on a continuance of the subsi dies as fixed by Statute, Government be requested to make provision for the pay ment of such subsidies until 1881, in ac cordance with The yipancial Arrange- Act, 1876.” ' OF QUESTIONS. Mr. Murray gave notice that he would ask— ‘ Whether, in reducing the Civil Service salaries as proposed, it was also intended to make a corresponding reduc

tion in pensions, more especially in pensions payable to absentees ?” Mr. Andrews gave notice that he would ask—“ Whether the removal of the Rail way Commissioner’s Department from Christchurch to Dunedin was a permanent arrangement ?” REPLY OF THE NORTH ISLAND RAILWAY COMMISSIONER. The Hon. John Hall laid on the table the reply of the North Island Railway Commissioner to the Civil Service Com missioners’ Report. REPLIES TO QUESTIONS. Replying to questions, Ministers stated —That the Education Report was in the hands of the printer, and would shortly be produced. Government had not ordered any Volunteer uniforms from England ; but they had sent for an esti mate of the price, and, from what could be ascertained, the estimate was likely to be 60 per cent, less than they could be got for in the colony.—No instructions had been forwarded to Sir Julius Vogel to represent New Zealand at meetings held in London to consider the question of Imperial unity. It was agreed, on the motion of the Hon. John Hall, that the House sit on Monday in Committee of Sup ply. Mr. Hall explained that Govern ment had considered the resolution of Mr./ Saunders, and held that it bound them to make a reduction of 10 percent, on all salaries, pay, and wages, and this would be provided for in the Appropriation Act; but while applying the Bill generally, there were certain exceptional cases in which it would not be right to apply the reduction, and these the Government would take the opportunity of excepting. As to wages, the Government found no injustice would be done in applying the resolution as in most cases the wages paid by Government were higher than those paid by private em ployers for similar woi’k. The reduction of ten per cent, would be made inclusive of a further reduction by the consolida tion of offices. • Mr. Hall moved the vote “ Postal Department, General Post Office, L 4000.” Mr. Reader Wood proposed it be re duced LSOO.

Mr. Macandrew suggested that the Estimates should be passed in a lump, adding that it was plain from what Govern ment had stated that they considered the reductions were to be made just as they might think fit. , Mr. Seddon objected, contending that they should de discussed item by item. The discussion lasted until the adjourn ment at 5;30 p.m.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE BOUNTY SHILLING.

Dick Harlowe, cross between yeoman and farm laborer, living in the outskirts of Nunscroft, one of the pleasant little villages of Warwickshire, on the borders of Worcester and skirting the Vale of Evesham, almost magical in its summer beauty, and redolent of memories of Simon de Montfort and King Edward Longshanks—Dick Harlowe was decidedly in that mood fitting him to be operated upon by any doubtful agent, when he went out from his mother’s thatched cottage on a certain .September evening during the great war of England and Napoleon I. Fit at that moment, to have been met by Mephistoplieles, in any of the shapes which he assumes in those weird legends of which the young farmer had never heard; fit to be operated upon by any mere human instrumentality fall ing in his way and having motive to in fluence him. Fit, especially fit, for that governmental agency and influence, through so many ages - known to English men as the recruiting sergeant. Dick was young, round-faced, good looking generally, and so athletic as to be a proverb of nimbleness in that active portion of the West country. He had that comeliness that belongs to his years, and, alas ! that nervous sensitiveness so apt to belong to the same age, not depen dent on any great keenness of intellect, and quite capable of making the holder unhappy without affording the necessary wisdom for extrication from unpleasant surroundings. He knew quite enough to feel acutely and to become very unhappy; but—poor fellow !—he did not know enough to place himself beyond the necessity of that feeling—as, indeed, how small a percentage will be found to have that power, in any given hundred or thousand !

Not to make any mystery of the matter —things had “ gone wrong with him,” to quute the phrase when he would himself have used if he used any— in the farming of the small glebe held by his father before him, and afterwards entrusted to himself and his mother, the widow. The season had been rainy; help was beyond his i means ; and much of what might have been the product of his fields had been lost throngh inefficiency combined with a certain amount, of inattention. In fact, so doleful had become the prospect for the ensuing winter, that he had been ekeing out subsistence for the present, and. pre paring a dismal way for the dark hour, by working, half as farm-hand and half as overseer, on the luckier. or better-tilled fields of some of the other land-owners in the neighborhood. He was consequently poor, dull, disoouraged, sad-hearted, with out quite knowing the whole meaning of the phrase, and with that sort of indefinite feeling sometimes characterized, now-a days, as “ down in the mouth.”

Then, the evening was that of Monday; and on the previous day, coming back from the little church to the abode of that “ neat-handed Phillis,” he had managed to get up a sort of lover’s quarrel with pretty Susan Ackley, his finances for the previous twelvemonth and his playmate and admiration from childhood—this quarrel leading him to the belief that he was the most miserable, worthless and wronged dog ip nation ; and that the so,oner ho was out of the way, and Susan made happy by that indefinite removal, the better for all parties. (N. B.—Dick would have pounded to a jelly, in five minutes, any man who dared hint that Susan would be the happier fer parting with him ; that peculiar and peculiarly foolish assertion he held as his ’ own private right and property held it, of coqpsp, all the more solemnly and saereclly bn'tliat account. Then he had another grief or grievance, manifested in a row with his mother, the widow, who was certainly not in the habit of inflicting unheard of cruelties upon any one falling under her charge. It is not necessary to state, at the present moment, what was that grievance, indeed, to do so would remove it, and so the little story

could not be told at all. Enough to say that the fact will develop itself indue time ; a little more to that disproof of old maxims and general leveling of arrogant statements which will no doubt be found necessary before the coming of the millen nium. But the sense of injury was suf ficient to induce him, just after changing the corduroy pants and smock-frock in which he had been at work afield during the day, to an old but more becoming suit of velveteens for, “evening prome nade,” to hurl out at the window a very injured; innocent expression of wrathful disappointment, his hands meanwhile thrust neatly deep enough in his breeches pocket to produce the belief that he must have had a covert Yankee somewhere among his ancestry. “I do think that you might ha’done it mother ! ” he ejaculated on that occa sion, with an amount of feeling showing that the wrong had struck very near to, the fountain of his existence. * 1 It was a main little to do, for a woman like you; and, dang it!—l am a chap that needs taking a little care of, just now—that I do ! I don’t like a bit to have what you promised to do, neglected in that way, seeing that I am not one of the kind that asks for favors very often; harkee to that, now ! And when I come back, if I do come back at at all,” — “ Why, boy, what are you talking of ? ” interrupted the grey-headed and snugly capped poor widow, just in time to pre vent the utterance of that no-doubt awful threat. Her kind and motherly appear ance, however humble, seemed to make it doubtful whether she could have perpe trated any crime beyond forgiveness, against her only son ; and there was a promise of reparation in what follows. “ Sure it was only a little miss, Dick, and I’ll do it to-morrow, true as I’m a woman. Don’t ’ee grieve old mother by making so much ado about so small a thing ! And then to talk of staying away ! Why, Susan—”

“ Dang Susan, and all girls like her !” exclaimed the son, interrupting in his turn, and with muoh more than the widow’s force of expression., “Don’t talk to me any more about Susan Ackley, mother—never ! She and I Jje off—that’s all, and that be enough !” “ You and Susan ! Why, Dick !” That was all that the widow, literally over whelmed by such intelligence, found time to say ; for Dick, bearing both his old and new griefs about him, strode away from the little cottage porch in which his mother was standing under the yet unfaded vines and climbing flowers—strode away through the rustic gate, closing it with a bang enough to have shown his temper without any other evidence, and took his way across the field, as' the widow could see in the lingering September light, toward that portion of the picturesque straggling hamlet of Nunscroft where stood the noted ale-house-known as the “ Nine Chickens.” The watering place of all the carriers who traversed that well-frequented road ; the lounging-place, and, alas ! the tippling place of the thriftless and the idle of a whole neighborhood ; as such houses have been, time out out of mind, in other sections of Merrie England than that bordering, the Yale of Evesham.
