BIRTH.

Babhbtt.—On the 17th May, at the War wick Arms Hotel, Pollen-street, Shortland, the ■wife of Captain Thomas Barnett of a •on.

THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1870.

Although the stigma attaches to Auckland of dormant public spirit. yet the treatment of the electoral rolls in the matter of objections, manifests undoubted wakefulnesa on the part of some, albeit that it is shown, in an irregular way. Some one is evidently peering into futurity; and, though it is a hardship to check any nianifestion of public spirit, still when it avails itself of forgery to effect its ends, we can scarcely regard it as having a claim on our con sideration. On every side we hear of persons having, with out permission been asked, made a " cat's paw " for the removal of names from the electoral rolls. The operators are evidently 'prentice hands in electioneering tac tics, for anything more clumsy than the mode of operation it is hardly pos sible to conceive. Perhaps there is nothing that requires more clear headedness, skill, experience, caution, than manipulating an electoral roll, or dealing generally in electioneering, and those gentlemen who have under taken the duty for this district, have either just awaked and opened their eyes for the first time to the claims of public duty, or have been by nature gifted with" very thick skulls indeed. The transparent ruse attempted oil Mr. Hannaford, in obtaining his signature to sheets with a few names sparsely clotting them, and then filling up the intervals at leisure, must have been the sugges tions of a political babe and suckling, while the systematic arrangement of a list, and appending to it an objecting name by the simple process of forgery, has in it such apparent daring and want of caution as could only arise from ignorance of danger. But will no action be taken on this viola tion of law ? Of course the conse quences of the attempt are simple in prevention. Those whose names have been unwarrantably used can withdraw their names, and the objec tions must fall to the ground. Objec tions resting on a presumed signature, which is a figment, can have no validity, or even existence; and it is the duty ' of those whose names have been so used to purge themselves of blame by taking pains to have those objections nullified. But more : such tampering with one of the most dangerous and tempting forms of crime should not be passed over, and it is the undoubted duty of those whose names have been forged to swear informations againstthe forgers ; and now that in every journal public attention has been directed to this offence, the police authorities have no excuse if the crime is not traced home to its authors.

The p.s. Williams will leave for the Thames to-morrow, at three o'clock p.m., instead of half-past two, as advertised in our shipping columns, returning from Grahamstown at 8 p.m.

Tatteanga.—The schooner Queen ar rived in harbour this morning. There is no news of importance from Tauranga.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather last night, there was a good house at the City Hall to s:ie tbe diorama of the Apocalypse. We are glad to observe the general favor which the en tertainment has evidently won from the ladies of Auckland, —the best testimony to its propriety and tastefulness.

We are much gratified to learn that the entertainments intended in connection with the Mechanics' Institute, are being organised, and that a preliminary meeting of those intending to Jend their aid, will be held at the Mechanics' Institute to morrow evening at eight o'clock. The entertainments are to be of a miscellan eous character, including songs, recita tions, readings, part acting, &c. Some six or eight amateurs have already volurteered their services, and it is requested that any others interested, or desirous of aiding this step in the right direction, will meet the sub-committee to-morrow evening.

We learn that it is the intention of the Auckland Literary Institute to give an entertainment in Slid of the funds of the Orphan School, at Parnell, on the evening of to-morrow week, the 27th inst. The City H all is to be engaged for the occa sion, and botli from the excellence and variety in the class of entertainment usually given by the society, and the philantrophic purpose to which the pro ceeds will be devoted, we anticipate a very successful effort on the part of. the society.

In the Police Court, to-day, there was a full Bench, Mr. Porter being punctual to rota; Mr. Newman being present hy request of Mr. Pierce as his substitute ; and Mr. Kitchie, whose name appears in the rota for to-morrow, having, we presume, made an interchange of days with a bro ther magistrate. It is gratifying to see the attention our magistrates are giving to the public service, . entering into the new system con amove —and that the stigma hitherto attaching to our local Bench of indifference to the fulfilment of their public duties, is so rapidly passing away. Two persons appeared in the

character of drunkards repenlsut, and another was charged with being bellige rent in his cups —-to wit, fighting promis cuously against all comers, and playfully butting against- Constable Clarke, after the manner of a ram, to the serious de rangement of the constable's epigastric regions. The only other case was one of those not unfrequent in the Police Court, where the great machinery of the law is put in motion by a very little. Two young fellows appear to have been squabbling, and the one called ihe other " a loafer," when the offended individual, instead of settling the matter in the good old English style of a manly blow, or with equal propriety, walking away, must needs put the law in force, and had the offender arrested on warrant. It would appear as if second thoughts were supervening, for prosecutor was not "up to time," although counsel for prosecution and defence, the Armed Constabulary, and the Court, were all prepared for the momen tous issue to be tried. We shall like to hear the definition of " loafer," on the significance of which, of course, the heinousness of the offence will hinge. Ihe case will be resumed on Saturday.

Essay and Discussion Class, Y.M. C.A.—The above Class meets this eve ning, at half-past seven o'clock, in the Rooms, Wellesley - street, when a de bate will take place on the following question :—" Is it desirable to substitute Vote by Ballot for Open Voting in Poli tical Elections ?" The question of the Ballot is an important and practical one, and public opinion in the Colony seems fast trending in the direction of that measure of political reform. His Honor 1 the Superintendent has pronounced him self unequivocally in favour of the mea sure, and with the fragrant recollection of certain occurrences at the late election fresh in his remembrance, will no doubt have the whole subject of Vote by Ballot thoroughly ventilated in the Assembly. Through gross apathy a large proportion [of the electoral constituency never exer cise their political rights at all—but if, as has happened before now, men have to endure a preliminary martyrdom prior to reaching the polling booth, and succeed in exercising the franchise not only at the expense of their feelings, but their stomachs, a much greater number maj be reckoned upon in future as declining the privilege on conditions so onerous. With the cession of the franchise the voter may fairly look to the Government to so frame the electoral law as to reduce to a mini mum the risk of intimidation —whether physical or moral—in its exercise. Last evening the monthly inspection of the Auckland Naval Volunteers took place at the Drill-?hed, Fort Britomart. There was a very good attendance of members, considering the unfavourable state of the weather. Adjutant Tisdall was present, and inspected the men's arms and accoutrements, which were found to be in good condition. They were afterwards put through the sword and other " exercises "by Petty-officer Cooke, and acquitted themselves most creditably. Captain Guilding also put the men through a variety of evolutions. A muster of the Artillery had been called for the same time and place, but only two of them turned up, so that nothing was done, although Sergeaut-jVlajor Bronghton was present, and the guns were all in position. No doubt the damp state of the atmos phere kept the men away. This evening another entertainment will be given at the Lunatic Asylum for the benefit of the patients, at which a number of amateurs and others have promised to be present and lend their assistance. The members of the Trades men's Garrick Club have promised their services, and will give a dramatic repre sentation. These entertainments are much lo be commended, and we trust that the affair will be very successful. Application has been made to his the Governor, by George Philip Hilton and Uobcrt Walker Fair burn, for lerters patent for the use within the colony of New Zealand of an invention for certain improvements in lowering, raising, and transporting of minerals, &c, and also in the apparatus employed therein.

The Eev. J. E. Jenkins will lecture this evening, at the Albert street Congre gational Chapel, the subject being " The Eagles and the Cross."

The shareholders of the Belfast Gold Mining Company will be paid a dividend of 2s. per share at the office of Mr. C. Tot hill. This is the third company paying a dividend at Mr. Tothill's office during the present week, the sums of the divi dends amounting to over £6000. To-night, at the .Newton Hall, is to be given an entertainment (the first of a series), in aid of the establishment of a fund for the erection of a school-house in connection with St. Sepulchre's Church. The ladies aad gentlemen appointed to take part in the programme are amateurs oi' weil known ability.

Theee will be a parade of the Auckland June Volunteers, at seven o'clock this evening, at the .Drill-shed, Princes-street. After a short drill the men will be formed in fours, and there will be n inarch out of the corps, headed by the band of the battalion. Masonic—At the request of the P.G-. Master, 1.0., and the W.M. of Lodge Ara, the Eev. Dr. Ji idd has consented to allow the sermon which he preached at Si. George's Church, at the Thames, to be printed. Any profit from the sale will be devoted to the Orphan Home, Par ncll.

The Eesident Magistrate's Court will be held to-morrow, the day of holding hating been altered from Thursday to Friday. The Chamber of Commerce meets to day, and the report ot the Dock Com mittee will probably be placed before the meeting.

SUPREME COURT.—In Banco.

FSibir, MAY 19. (Before Sir G. A. .Arney, Knight, Chief Justice). .'■ ,;. His Honor, took his seat on the bench at 11 o'clock, and disposed of the following busi ness : — BE S. M. GKEEN-AND BLACK. Mr. MacCormick for the trustee in Black s estate; Mr. Hesketh for the trustee in Green's estate; Mr. Lascelles for the cre ditors. ~. His Honor said this case was placed tirst on the list" for hearing. He observed that, there were no less than twenty-three cases set down for hearing. The Court would be re luctant to keep bankrupts' counsel and soli tors waiting until the disposal of this case,, which would last a very long time. Ho assumed the case was opposed, and was of a nature that would involve some little diffi culty. Moreover, it had been the practice of the Court hitherto to take unopposed cases first, and that being so, he would, if it were agreeable to learned counsel engaged, fix to morrow at 2 o'clock for the hearing. _ Mr. Lascelles and Mr. MacCormick con sented. Mr. Hesketh hoped his Honor would fix even an earlier hour. The case had been a long time the subject of adjudication, and he would like to see it formally disposed of. His Honor said he would sit in chambers at ten o'clock next morning, when the subject might be mentioned, and an earlier hour fixed if possible. BE FBEDK. WHITLOCK. The bankrupt had come up for his last examination a fortnight ago, and .was examined. But the declaration and the issue of the final order was postponed until the arrival of a steamer from Melbourne, so that it might be known whether any of them appeared to oppose, the requisite no tines hav ing been given. Mr. MacCormick said that a steamer had arrived from Melbourne and no notice was received as to the intention of any creditor to oppose. The bankruptgpeceived his final order and ■was discharged. BE HEXEY HAASE. Mr. Hesketh, on bebalf of the bankrupt, asked for an adjournment, of this case for a fortnight, in order to allow sufficient time to send notices to creditors residing in Sydney. Application granted. BE A. H. JAKIN3. Mr. Brock appeared for the bankrupt. The bankrupt came up for his last examina tion. The liabilities were £980, principally money borrowed. The assets were a farm at Mahurangi mortgaged to Mr. D. Nathan, and a house in Wellington street mortgaged to Mr. Aitkin for £150. The money was borrowed to enable the petitioner to go into business at Shortland. Certain land at Mangapai, a number of mining shares now worthless, and book debts also of no value, were set down as assets. There was no opposition to the bankrupt, and the Court declared he had passed his last examination, and issued the final order. Discharged accordingly. BE BOBT. HAGAN. The liabilities in this case were £286 16s. 9d., and tne assets £255. Wo creditor had proved. Mr. Eees appeared for the bankrupt, who was unopposed, and the Court granted the final order.

His Honor in granting the order for the discharge of the bankrupt said it might appear strange the facility with which bankrupts came up and passed through the Court. That was to be accounted for by the collapse of all kinds of interests, in consequence of which persons trading to very small amounts were involved in liabilities which they could not meet. But when no creditors appeared to oppose, and everything was done regularly according to the Act, the right of the persons asking for relief could not be withheld. BE EDMUND STEEKS. When this case was called, as the bankrupt was going into the box, Mi 1. Bees said : I appear to oppose in this case. Mr. Weston : I appear for the bankrupt. No creditor has proved. That being so, I would ask that the bankrupt be examined. Mr. Rees : Your Honor, I am instructed to oppose ihe discharge of the bankrupt on behalf of a creditor for a very large amount, namely, over £1100. The creditor is a cor poration, the Bank of New Zealand. lam instructed by the Bank solicitors, Messrs. Whitaker and Russell. Mr. Weston : But the requisite notices have been given. His Honor : But where a bankrupt may have clone something which may alarm the conscience of the Court, and a creditor informs the Court ? The creditors were in Court. Mr. Kees: I have an affidavit here which I will read. His Honor.: Is it filed ? Mr. Kees:*l shall be prepared to file it to day. His Honor : It should have been filed. Mr. Weston : I object to the affidavit being read. It does not state what the bankrupt is' when the debts were contracted. It does not give any account of the transactions. Itis Honor : I must say it is irregular to step in at the moment the debtor is stepping into the box and hand in an affidavit which, has not been filed. No creditor has pi-oved. Mr. Rees : I have proved. His Honor : At this moment the question is whether a creditor has proved at the moment the bankrupt is called. I will not discharge a bankrupt, however, when I am informed of the opposition of a creditor, although I am greatly opposed to their coming- in at the eleventh hour, when a large amount of business is before the Court. I will take the case, perhaps, at a later period of the day. Mr. Rees: The bankrupt himself admits that the Bank is a creditor for £1000. EE CHAKLES HEEBEHTE, EICHABD BOBEBTSj JOHN HOWE. These bankrupts were comedians, lessees of the Academy of Music, Shortland. Liabilities £192 ; deficiency, £122. Bankruptcy was attributed to failure of mining speculations. The bankrupts passed their last examination, but the final order was not asked for, in order to complete pome informality.

We learn that Donald McLean, Esq., Native and Defence Minister, will leave Auckland for Wellington during ' the present week, iv order to prepare for the forthcoming opening of the General Assembly. . '.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R- F. Porter, Eeq, Thos. Ritchie, Esq., and J. Newman, J£sq., J.P.s.) DRUNKENNESS. Owen Hughes aud J. Lloyd, charged with this offence, were each fined 5s and costs, ov to be imprisoned for 24 hours, with hard labor. DBITNK AND DISOHDEBLY; Ellis Jones was charged with having been drunk and disorderly, and with assaulting the police. ■. Andrew Clarke deposed : I am a constable in the Armed Constabulary. .Was on duty ,on the 18th May in Queen-street; and arrested prisoner. He was drunk; and; creating dis turbance. Used no undue violence in arrest ing him.' Prisoner struck me with his head like a ram. He had been fighting with people passing. Sentenced to pay a fine of 40s and costs, or to be imprisoned for seven days. INSULTING LANGUAGE. David Atkinson was charged by Henry Harris .with having used insulting language towards him, by calling him a "loafer," and stating that he lived by prostitution. Mr. Wynn for prosecution, Mr. Joy for the defence. It appeared that the summons had been served at the residence .of defendant in his absence at the Whau, and on his return he had this morning given himself up to the police. On the application of the counsel for the prosecution, the case was adjourned till Saturday. The Court then rose.

SHOCKING MURDER.

A MAOEI WOMAN STABBED BY

HEE HUSBAND

THE MUEDERER HAS FLED. A Coboneb's inquest which took place at Waiuku, on the 17th instant, on the body a Maori woman named Uawina, who was murdered by her husband on the night of Saturday last. The husband had always borne a good character previously, but was. given to occasional fits of drinking. As may be imagined, the affair caused considerable excitement in the neighbour hood where the crime was perpetrated, there being a large number of natives present at the inquest, about fifty of them having come from the Waikato on purpose to attend it. Much sympathy was manifested for the deceased, who appeared to have been very generally liked.; and the natives are fully of opinion that the murderer—who after the committal of the crime fled from the neighbourhood —is deserving of death. After an examination of several witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the husband, whose name is Martena Te Rakitangi. We trust the law will be at once put in motion, and the murderer speedily brought to justice to answer for his awful deed.

ARRIVAL OF THE KEERA.

ENQUIRY INTO THE WRECK OF

THE BEAUTIFUL STAB.. By the arrival of the s.s. Keera in the Manukau we hare papers from Wan ganui to the 16th inst.:—

A Court of enquiry into the cause leading to the casualty of the s.s. Beautiful Star was held on the 16th instant, at the Eesident Magistrate's Court. Mr. James tr. Woon, principal officer of H.M. Customs, conducted the investigation. Captain Christian deposed as to the circumstances attending the sinking of the vessel, and the Court adjourned until the afternoon of the same day.. . . Last night this steamer was drifted up the river and moored alongside the Government wharf, where she discharged the remaining portior of her cargo, con sisting of some heavy machinery. A sail was then drawn under the stern of her keel, and made fast to her starboard and port bulwarks. Ihe leakage is supposed to be under her boilers. She has since been hauled back to the opposite side of the riyer, and will be thoroughly exam ined and temporary repairs made.— Evening Herald, 16 th. In addition to tbe above, we have learned that all the water had been pumped out of the vessel, and the hole, which is under the boiler, temporarily repaired. In all probability the vessel would start for Duuedin about Thursday or Friday.

ONEHUNGA.—POLICE COURT.

WEDNESDAY MAY 10.

[Before Captain Symonds, R.M.]

Nash V. Bkassey.—lnterpleader summons. In this case judgment had been obtained against Mr. Brassey, and the effects had been seized under a. warraut of distress. Mr. Lewisson, of Auckland, claimed to have pos session of the goods under a bill of sale dijly registered. Mr. Lewisson had paid out the bailiff, and the proceeds were impounded, subject to proof of the said bill of sale, and he now claimed to have the amount returned to liim. —F. H. Lewisson deposed : That the biil of sale was duly executed.—Constable Negus executed the warrant of distress on Major Brassey's goods, and produced a schedule of the goods seized. This inventory included many other articles, than are mentioned under the bill of sale, and Mr. Nash claimed the amount due to him on the surplus goods. —The Court, in giving judgment, said that the sckedule of the bill of sale' specified certain articles. All other effects beyOnd this list were liableto seizure by the bailiff. The money in Court would' therefore be paid over to plaintiff.

Williamson v. Ltjndon & Whitaker.— Claim £15 17s. —J. Lundon admitted the claim, which was for board and lodging of some Maoris engaged as witnesses in the Native Lands Court, and plaintiff ought to have received her money from the lawyer engaged in that case.
