The Evening Star: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870.

We observe that Mr. J. A. Pond, formerly pharmaceutical dispenser to Dr. 0. F. Fischer, has commenced a business on his own ac count in the premise* recently vacated by Mr. H. Kohn, jeweller, Queen-street. From Mr- Pond's long experience with Dr. Fischer, the w^R-knowp'hpmoeopathist., -we feel justified iQ saying that all prescriptions entrusted to his care will be careful y and accurately pre pared.

. We wish to draw attention to the new and highly serviceable style of ovens made by Mr. H. H. Smith, and noticed in another .column. They are smoke-consuming, and from various other qualifications adapting them to colonial -wants, they will, in all probability, command an extensive demand. Their peculiarities are deserving of inspection.

It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that the sum of £17 10s. 6d. will be to-morrow handed over to the funds of the Orphan Home, as the net proceeds of the late enter tainment given by the Auckland Ethopian Troupe at the Music Hall.

The interminable inquiry Re Lipstine oc cupied his Honor the Chief Justice the Whole of yesterday in bankruptcy. The witness Cohen was examined by Mr. H'esketh for five hours on matters of account. At five o'clock the hearing was further adjourned to procure additional information. The further hearing will be resumed on the 21st inst.

It is notified that John Waddington Graves has become bankrupt.—William Amadis Surf len and John Wheeler King give notice of their intention to apply at an early sitting-day of the Supreme Court to pass their last examina tion, and receive their orders of discharge.

A meeting of the United Cricket Club will be held at the Club-room this evening.

A morning parade of the Volunteers living in Dedwood will be held every Thursday dur ing the summer months in the paddock be hind All Saints' Church.

Tenders for certain work are required by the MoUht Albert Highway Board.

The tarnsfer books of the All Nations Gold Mining Company will be closed from noon to day .until noon on Friday, when a dividend of four-shillings per share will be payable.

THE CITY HALL

One of the most pleasing entertainments ever given in this city is proceeding nightly in the City Hall. Mr. Cotterell's powers arr well known in Auckland, but owing to the quiet and unobtrusive manner in which they have been announced, the attendance on the open ing' night'was very meagre. The admirers of Mr. Cotterell's ability need see nothing in that. He will soon make himself known ; and so great is the versatility "of "talent displayed by him that we shall soon see crowded houses at the City Hall. Those present last night were fairly overcome by the irresistible drollery of the mimic; and the multitude of characters as sumed with such rapidity, and impersonated with such thorough appreciation, kept interest unflagging from the opening to the close. We strongly commend a visit to the City Hall to all who wish a thoroughly delightful evening.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMELE FROM THE ISLANDS.

The fine schooner Amele, Captain Hart, from the South Sea Islands, has just arrived in

harbour as we go to press

A HORSE GORED BY A BULL.

Yesterday morning, as Mr. James Mac k'nzie, junr., was on horseback, engaged in driving a bull to a farm near his residence, the animal suddenly turned, and charged furiously down upon him. The bull en countered the horse's side with such force as to drive one of his horns home to the heart and smash three ribs.' Man and horse of course came down with great violence, and we regret to learn that Mr. Mackenzio was much injured. The bull had always been considered a quiet animal previously.

PARNELL ROAD BOARD

A meeting of the ratepayers was held last evening, in St; Mary's School-room, for the purpose of receiving the report of the auditors of the accounts of; the late trustees, Reader Wood, Esq., SI.H.R. presiding. The report of the auditors, Messrs. Smart and Flowers, _,_!' be fouiid in our advertising columns.

Mr. Feazer moved, and Mr. S. Kemp thorne seconded, a motion " That the report of the auditors be printed."—Carried.

A short discussion ensued as to the pro priety of requesting the late trustees to deliver up the books, but it appeared to be the opinion of the meeting that this duty devolved on the late Board, without the necessity of any such requisition. The business concluded with a'j vote of thanks to the chairman.

The new trustees are Messrs. Smart, Blott, Le Roy, Pyke, and R. Lusk.

SUPREME COURT.— Sittings in Banco.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12

[Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.]

His Honor held the usual sitting in Chambers this morning.

Snell v. Tokatea Gold Mining Co_- PANT.^rThis was an appeal (part heard) from the Judge'of the Warden's Court, Coroman del.—Mr. Rees and Mr. Tyler appeared for the appellants. Mr. Richmond who appeared on behalf of Mr. Hesketh for the respondents, and asked for an adjournment, on the grounds that Mr. Macdonald who was to argue the case for the respondents was exceedingly ill and unable to attend the Court. Mr. Hesketh also had been compelled to attend a prior engagement. If the Court would adjourn the case to' Friday both the learned counsel would probably be able to attend. — Mr. Rees said he must oppose the application. Mr. Hesketh had been that morning within tho precints of the Court, and said nothing about a prior engagement.—His

Honor wa9 sure that Mr. MacCormick would not have sent such a message Unless he were really ill. If th'fe Respondents were not in a situation to appear before 'the Court, be could not give judgment behind their backs. —Mr. Rees said that the persons at present in possession were taking out very valuable stone. It was therefore of great importance a decision should be given as soon as possible.—Mr. Richmond said that no injury would be done ; the delay involved in the adjournment was only two days. He would undertake, if Mr. MacCormick should be unable to attend, Mr. Hesketh would argue the case for the respon dents.—Mr. Tyler asked for costs of the application. —His Honor: I cannot award costs. I cannot say the parties are in default. —The hearing of the appeal was further ad journed to Friday. ■14; Katt ranga : Attachment. —Mr. Rich mond applied to the Court for an attachment against John Lundon for non-payment of the costs of the argument upon the writ of prohi bition applied for himself and another to restrain the Jud.e of the Native Lauds Court from further proceeding to amend the certifi cate of title to this ground. It appeared that the costs were taxed in the usual way." The amount of the costs fixed was £35 15s.—Mr. Richmond said that Mr. MacCormick had, on a previous occasion, obtained a rule nisi, but that application was found to be against the usual practice of the Courts in England. That practice, in matters of attachment, was followed by the Supreme Court of New Zea land. It appeared from the " Hilary Term Reports," that in two cases a rule for an attachment was absolute, namely : for non payment of costs, and refusal of the Sheriff to obey the order of the Court. —His Honor: You are' at will to abandon the rule nisi. —Mr. Richmond : Yes :— His Honor then granted tho rule for an attachment, returnable on the 16th of November.

(Left sitting.)

POLICE COURT.— Wednesday.

[Before T. B. Gillies and H. Grilfillan, Esqs.,

Justices.]

Drunkenness. —G. Marsh, R. Luscomb, C. Leary, A. Bannatyne, and H. Millet, were each fined ss. ar.d costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours, with hard labour. J. Morgan, for his being drunk and disorderly, has fined 205., or to be imprisoned 48 hours. Municipal Police Act.—Charles Gil mour, for allowing two cows to stray in a public place, was fined 10s. and costs. Diobey_ng Ordehs. — Augustus Copede was charged with a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act, in refusing to obey lawful orders on board the barque Novelty, lying in Auckland harbour, on tin; Bth October.—Mr. Joy for plaintiff; Mr. Bennett for the defence —B. Burgess, depossd :I am mate on board the barque Novelty. Defendant is a seaman onboard (official log produced, having entry in it) on the Bth October, on board the Novelty. I ordered defendant to rot. mix the different marks in carrying bags of bone-dust. He did not attend to my order. Repented, the order on sevcrul occasions. He replied, " You —' — you want to mako me work " Several similar instances of disobedience were given. To Mr. Bennett : I believe defendant is a foreigner, but he can speak English, and un derstand orders. I was once fined for striking the prisoner.—George Russell, stevedore, de posed that Ihe mate ordered pri-oner to s pa rate the " M's" from the " H's."—To Mr. Bennett: Defendant said he could not under stand the difference in the marks. The marks were distinctly pointed out. — The Bench hold that the case was proved, but considering the trivial nature of the offence, and the ill-feeling between the parties, and the unsatisfactory nature of the entry in the log, imposed a mitigated penalty of three days' imprison ment.

Assault. — R. Micklo wa3 charged by T. Edwards with a violent assault upon him at Mahurangi, on 23rd September; There was a counter charge.— Mr. Hesketh appeared for Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Wynn and Mr. Sheehan for Mr. Mickle.—Thomas Edwards, deposed : I reside at Maburangi.. I received the letter produced from Mr. Mickle, in which he stated that he had my bull, and would detain it till I paid certain fees. * I went to Mr. Mickle's house. On going to the pad dock met Mr. Mickle. I stopped about a chain from him, fearing violence. I said " I have come to see what damage my bull has done, and if a pound's worth I should pay.it." He said the bull had walked into h_3 pad dock. He said he had the bull, but would not give him up. He ordered me out of the paddock. I proceeded to go out directly. tie rushed at me, struck me in the face, knocked me down, took the stick from me. and struck me on the thigh and about the head and arms over twenty times. Mr. Mickles' boy saw the occurrence. I showed the wounds to Dr. Nicholson.— To Mr. Wynn : I have had fourteen acres of land and about twelve head of cattle at Ma hurangi. About six, acres were in cultiva tion. The cattle feed on Mr. Mickle's un fenced land. I never struck Mr. Mickle on struck at him. Mr. Mickle has got about one thousand acre's. —To i the Bench: I went up to about ten feet of Mickle.—Edward Shar non, a lad of twelve years, deposed : I am in the employment of Mr. Mickle. On this oc casion I was picking up sticks. Could not hear all said between them. Edwards asked for his'bull and Mickle ordered him out of the paddock. Edwards then struck Mickle on the arm with a stick, who then tried to take it from Edward*, and both i fell down, and Mr. Mickle ordered him to go out of the pad dock, which he would not do. And then Mr. Mickle struck him with the stick every time he spoke back to him, and followed him up to the fence, and Mr. Mickle told me to fetch the hat and I did so. And them Edwards went away. They had both fallen together, Mr. Mi kle being on top. They bad not been wrestling together before Edwards struck with the stick. Mr. Mickle struck him every time he gave -him " cheek." He was using bad words.—To the Bench : I am quite sur« I saw Edwards strike Mr. Mickle with a stick. —Dr. M. B. Nicholson deposed : On the 29th September plaintiff called on me, his arms were bruise.d ; they were not fresh bruises. They were on the outer part of the left arm.—This closed the case.—The Bench desiring to hear the counter case, T. Edwards was charged with assaulting R. Mickle on the same occasion.—R. Mickle deposed :On the occasion I alluded to, I told him to go away, I wanted to attend to my work. He then made a blow at me\ and struck me with a large tea-tree stick. We then closed, and we fell together. I then told him to go out, and he abused me, and every time he gave me

'ibuse, I gave him a " tap" with the stick. Most positively he struck me first. —Cross- examined by Mr. Hesketh. —The Bench re gretted that two settlers should waste their time in comibg to Court about such quarrels. It was plain that Edwards was the aggressor, but, in consideration of the punishment al ready received, both cases were dismissed. Larceny. — Abraham Abrahams was charged with havir g stolen several articles, to the value of £10, from Adolph Beissel.—A. Beisscl de posed :lam a hairdresser. On the 10th inst. I closed my business at. 8 p.m. Abrahams and I were partners, sharini iv the takings of the business: On closing, defendant was left in the shop, as he wished to sleep there. I gave him the key On opening the shop in the morning, I found the articles gone. On going to his private residence, I asked him for my things. He told me that I should not have theni.—To Mr. Joy: Defendand had the tenancy of the shop, and in his own name. I came iv with him as partner. I paid the rent out of the takings. Cannot say which of lis owns the other money. He has lent me money several times. These articles were used in carrying on the business of the partnership. The furniture was his, and I brought, these articles in to be.used in our business.—Albert Knapp deposed generally to circumstances not bearing particularly on the case, and it was dismissed.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM

THIS DAY.

MINEBS' EIGHTH—MEETING AT THE GOVEBNOB BOWEtf. RICH SPECIMENS FEOM CORO MANDEL. A CHILD KILLED. ORAnAMSTOWN, 3 p.m. [from ottr own correspondent.] A lauge meeting was held at the Gover nor Bowen Hotel last evening on the miners' right question. The following gentlemen took part at fhe meeting:— Messrs. Shapter, Graham, Mitchell, and fc-wan. A committee was appointed. Mr. Collet's child was killed yesterday by a cart wheel passing over it at Tararu. The Little Wonder and Eoyal Oat, at, Coromandel, have some maguificer.t specimens, superior to anything before seen on the Thames.

"LOTS OF THINGS."

[The following is a sketch taken fron the " Trials and Confessions of an American Housekeeper." In the Trans-allantic states, where servants or "helps" are often very scarce, many domestic difficulties have to be encountered —amongst which the Americans include the necessity of engaging Irish ser vants. The inhabitants of the sister isle make, when properly taught, the best and most faithful servants, and are then much sought after; but when just landed from the remote rural districts of Ireland on the quay at New York, and in the anxiety of procuring a situation, professing much more than she understands, the blunders fallen into by the Irish domestics arc easily accounted for. The national characteristics of apreeableness and good-humour, however, generally compensate to some extent for the novitiate's inability.]

" O dear!" said 1 to Mr. Smith osio. morn ing, as we arose from the break fast-table, at which we had been partaking of rather a badly cooked meal—" more trouble in pros pect." " What's the matter now ?" asked Mr. Smith, with a.certain emphasis on the word " now," that didn't sound just agreeable to my ears. " Oh, nothing ! nothing !" I answered, with as much indifference of manner as I could assume. "You spoke of trouble," said he, kindly, "and trouble, in my experience, is rather more tangible than ' nothing.' " " I've another raw Irish girl in tho kitchen, who, according to lier own confession, hasn't been above ten days in the country —isn't that enough." " I should think so. But, why, in the name of goodness, did you take another of these r/reen islanders into your house ?" " It's oasy enough to ask questions, Mr. Smith," said I, a little fretfully ; " but—" I checked myself. We looked at each other, smiled, and —said no more on the subject. " Your name is Anna, I believe ?" said I, as I stepped to the kitchen door, a couple of hours afterwards. " Tliot's me name," replied the new domestic. " I will send home a loin of veal and some green ].-eas," said 1... "They are for dinner, which must be ready at two o'clock. You -know how to roast a piece of veal, I pre Biime ?" "Lave me for thot same, honey !" " And the green peas ?" "All. right, mum. I've lived in quality houses since I was so high. I can cook onything." " Very well, Anna. Wo will see. I have to go out this morning ; and you' must do the best you can. Don't fail to have dinner ready by two o'clock. Mr. Smith is a very punctual man." Anna was profuse in her prom_3es. • "If,*' said I, recollecting myself, as I was about opening the street door, and r. turning along the passage —"if anything is sent home for me, be su'-e to take it up stairs and lay it carefully on my bed." t ' j. " Yes, mum." "Now, don t forget this, Anna." " Och! niv.er fear at all, mum," was the girl's answer, '' I'll not forget a word iv y'r insthructions." .

I turned away and left the house. My principal errand was a Tisit to the milliner's, where I wished to see a bonnet I had ordered, before it was sent home. It was this bonnet I referred to when I desired Anna to place carefully on the bed in my chamber anything that might come home. On my way to the milliner's I stopped at the grocer's and made selections of various things that were needed.

The bonnet proved just to my taste. It was a delicate white spring bonnet, with a neat trimming, and pleased my fancy wonderfully.

"The very thing," said I the moment my eves rested upon it. "Do you want a box?" asked the milliner, after I had decided to take the bonnet, "I have one," was my answer. " O, very well, I will send the bonnet home in a box, and you can take it out.' " Thai will do." "Shall I send it home this morning? "Ifyou phase." " Very well. I'll see that it is done. After this I made a number of calls, which occupied me till after 1 o'clock, when I turned my face homeward. On arriving I was ad mitted by my new girl, and as the thought of my bonnet now returned to my mind, my first words wore : "Has anything been sent home for me, Anna ?'■ " Och ! yis indade, mum," was her answer —"lots o' things." " Lots of things ?" said I, with manifest surprise; for I only remembered at the moment, my direction to the milliner to send home my bonnet. "Vis, indado !" responded the girl. " Lots. And the mon brought 'em on the funniest whalebarry ye iver seed." " On a "wheelbarrow ?" " Vis, And such a whalebarry ! It had a whale on each side, as I'm a livin' sinner, mum; and a cunnin' little whale in front, cocked 'way up intill tho air, thot didu't touch nothiii' at ali-at ail! There's no eich whalebarrys as thot same in Ireland, me leddv." i "And what did you do with the lots of things brought on this wheelbarrow?" said I now beginning to comprehend the girl. " Put them on y'r bed sure." "On my bed !" I exclaimed iv conster nation. "Sure, and didn't I remember the last words ye spake till me? ' Anna,' saysyc — ' Anna, if onytbing is sent home for me, be sure to take it carefully up stairs and lay it on my bed.' And I did thot same. Sure, I couldn't have found a nicer place if I had gonii the house over. " •' Turning from the girl I hastened up-stairs. It was as I had too good reason to fear. Such a sight as met my eyes ! In the centre of my bed, with its snowy white Marseilles covering, were piled "lots of things,"and no mistake ! Sugf»r, tea, cheese, coffee, soap, and various other articles—not excepting a bottle of olive oil, from the started cork of which was gently oozing a slender stream—lay in a jumbled heap; while on a satin damask 'covered chair, ; reposed a greasy ham. For a moment I stood confounded. Then, giving the bell a violent jerk, I awaited, iv angry impatience, the appearance of Auna, who, in due time, after going to the street door, found her way to my chamber. " Anna !" I exclaimed, " what in the name of goodness possessed you to do this?" Ana I pointed to the bed. " Sure, and ye towld me till put them on ver bed." "I told you no such thing* you stupid creature ! * I said if a bonnet came, to put it on the bed." " Och! sorry a word did ye iver say about a bonnet, mum. It's the first time I iver heard ony thing about a bonnet from yer blessed lips. And tho_'_. thrue." "Where is my bonnet, then ? Did one come homo ?" " Plase, mum, and there did. And a purty one it is, too, as iver my two eyes looked up on." " What did you do with it ?" I enquired, with a good deal of concern. " It's safe in thot great mahogany closet, mum," she replied, pointing to my ward robe. I stepped quickly to the " mabogany closet," and threw open the door. Alas! for my poor bonnet! It was crushed in between two of Mr. Smith's coats, and tied to a peg by the strings, which were, of course, crumpled to a degree that made them useless. "Too bad! Too bad!" I murmered, as I disengaged the bonnet from its unhappy com panionship with broadcloath. As it came to the light, my eyes fell upon two dark spots on the front, the uumistakeable piints of Anna's greasy fingers. This was too much ! I tossed it in a, moment of passion on the bed, where, in contact with the " lots of things," it re ceived its final touch of ruin from a portion of the oozing contents of the sweet-oil bottle. Of the scene that followed. I will not trust myself to write. I was not, of course, in a ■very agreeable humour; and the record of what I said and did, aud how I looked, would be in no way flattering to my own good opinion of myself, nor prove particularly edifying to the reader.
