THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1870,

A case decided in the Supreme Court yes terday, in which the double convictions of Mr. Orford at Hokianga on a single informa tion vrere reviewed and set aside, will, we trust, have a beneficial effect on the Benches of the colony ; and the costly results, whether from negligence or undue severity, will induce magistrates generally to be cautious in the exercise of those powers which have been placed in their hands. _ .

It is right that those who accept the position of justices of the peace and devote their time to the service of the public gratuitously should be largely protected from evils result ing to themselves from their decisions. If it were not so, very few would be found to ac cept the honor of the commission of the peacej with ito responsibilities, and the country would be under the necessity of availing itself of the services of paid magistrates alone. But with the weighty interests placed in their hands it is well that magistrates should know that there is a responsibility connected with the trust, and that gross negligence or pal pable injustice may cause a review of decisions very costly to themselves. Every man is an autocrat at heart, and if it should happen that authority is vested in human nature in remote settlements away from the cen sorship of the press or the restraints of public opinion, human nature is only too apt to give the rein to impulse, and make that authority felt.

The directors of the Kuranui Grold Mining Company yesterday declared their usual monthly dividend, -which is payable to-day. The amount paid to shareholders in this splen did mine on the present occasion amounts to £3,175, or at the rate of five shillings per share. During the last few days thi3 Company have added another large boiler to their -works, made by Messrs. Fraser and Tinne, at a cost of between £400 and £500.

In the City Hall last night as we anticipated, the public paid the highest compliments to Mrs. WoodroSe in making her benefit a bumper. The attendance was an exceedingly large one, and the interest in the performance unabated. Numerous and beautiful prizes were as usual distributed. The price of ad mission to the Glass Blowing entertainment having been reduced, many more who have not yet visited the Woodroffers will be enabled to do so ; and theirs is really an enteEtainment that no one should fail to see.

We would again caution our readers to look after their boys, in relation to the birds of the Acclimatisation Society. The ravens are hopping quietly about in various parts of the outskirts, and it should be borne in mind that the birds are still the property of the Society, and that a watch is being kept over their movements. We would also ask all good citi zens to interest themselves in this matter, and bring under the notice of the police or the Curator any attempt to injure the birds.

A deputation from eettlsrs in the Whanga roa District, Baglan, yesterday waited on the Provincial Secretary, praying that the district, containing 53,000 acres, might be divided into two. Dr. Nicholson, in reply, stated that he would consult with the Road Board of the district, and communicate with the members of the deputation in a fortnight.

The Auckland Educational Society has postponed its usual weekly meeting till Thursday, Ist September, in consequence of the Choral Society's concert taking place this evening, in the Music Hall.

The Essay and Discussion Class, V.M.C.A., meets this evening, at the Rooms, Wei Lesley - street, when a paper will ba read by one of the members.

The teachers _at the Wesleyan Sunday School, Mount Albert, give their scholars a magic lantern entertainment last evening. There was a good attendance of parents and scholars, who appeared to be immensely de lighted.

We understand that the tender of Mr. Walter C. Crofton, for works at the Tiki, Coromandel, has been recommended for ac ceptation. The amount of the tender is £628 19s. Od., composed as follows: —Form- ing, metalling, and mitre drains, £329; 94 chains side-drains, £27 Os. 4d.; three chains channelling, 4 ft. by 3 ft., per chain lls.; 180 ft. box-draining, £9 ; 139 chains road, including cartiDg, £312 155.; one culvert, £5 ; 60 slabs (3-in.), £3. The other tenders were W. C. O'Neill, £671 4d. ; Mathew Edgar, £689155. 6d.; Charles Laurence, £659 Is. 6d.; Henry Truman, £901 17s. A meeting of No. 2 Company Auckland Rifle Volunteers will take place this evening, at the Drill-shed, Princes-street.

POLICE COURT.—THURSDAY.

[Before J. Naughton and G-. Wynyard, Justices.] MEBCHAKT SHIPPING ACT.—ASSAULT.

L. Vinck was charged by W. Porter with having assaulted him on board the Sydenham, on the 23rd instant.

Mr. Bennett for the defence.

W. Porfer, deposed : I am second mate of the Sjdenham, lying at the port of Auckland. Defendant is an articled seaman. I went down into the hold about Miree o'clock of the 23rd, and finding only a few men I went on deck and met defendant coming aft. Asked him what had become of Love; he told me he was in the hold. Pound Lore in the forecastle. Asked defendant why he had told me a lie. When I went to the hold he commenced abus ing*me; and when I was taking off my coat to go to work, he struck me in thej mouth,

and knocked me over on a box. He got on top of me. When he got up and was rushing at me again I struck him, threw him down, and kept him down. When down he held me by the whiskers. I called the carpenter to relieve me. He was drunk at the time.'

To Mr. Bennett : Told defendant he had told me a lie. I swear I did not strike him first.

To the Bench : Perhaps he was misled by my act of taking off my coat. R. Meldrum : I am carpenter on the Sydenham. Deposed they were both in grips when I separated them. Did not see the commencement of the fight. M. Maskell deposed to having seen the quarrel, but not the beginning of it. For the defence, Wallace Bell deposed that he heard them "growling" and then went be low, but he saw no blows struck.

Sentenced to one week's imprisonment with hard labor.

APPLICATION TO ADMIT TO BAIL,

Mr. Hesketh applied to the Bench to admit to bail Mrs. Connor, who had been committed on Coroner's warrant to take her trial at the Supreme Court, in December, for manslaugh ter of Morissy, at Onehunga. Referred to the Coroner for his endorse ment of consent. BEEACH OF MUNICIPAL POLICE ACT. F. Somers was charged by T. Dalton with not driving on the proper or right hand side of the road when passing the bus of prose cutor, going in the same direction, on Saturday last. Mr. Joy for the prosecution, Mr. Leary for the defence. T. Dalton deposed : I reside at Onehunga ; I drive an omnibus to that place. Somers was driving a bus belonging to Mr. Har dington about 4 p.m. on Saturday last, on the Karangahape Road, between Queen and Sy monds-streets. I was driving my 'bus, having three or four passengers. Saw Somers' 'bus, which had passengers also. We were both going to Onehunga. I was ahead of him at the turning of Queen-street, driving on my proper side at a gentle trot. He tlien drove past me. I tried to pass him in Upper Symonds-street. I got near him as he had slackened his speed; he then deliberately " slewed" his horses round and ran across into me, had he not done so, there was abundant room for me to pass; he ran into my near side horse ; I was trying to pass, leaving his vehicle on my left. I was driving slowly.

To Mr. Leary: I was trotting, not galloping, when passing him. To the Bench : It was between the Jews > burying-ground and the mud house. J. Scottor deposed to having seen Dalton trying to pas 3 Somers, and being prevented by Somers passing across from left to right. Dalton was driving slowly. Saw Somers strike back with the whip. W. Philson (son of Dr. Philson) deposed to having been in a bus, ahead of the two buses, and seen the circumstance as it occurred, corroborating the previous evidence. John Hill, a passenger on Dalton's bus, corroborated the previous statement, aud deposed to Somers' bus, having struck Dalton's horns and put them into the gutter. There were no drays ahead. • For the defence, T. Cleghom deposed : Was riding on the front of defendant's 'bus. Com plainant jammed us into the rail of the bridge in Upper Queen-street, and afterwards kept moving his whip, to prevent us re^passing. On the occasion complained of, if a collision had occurred I must have seen it, but did not.

To Mr. Joy: From the top of Upper Queen-street to Epsom, Dalton never passed defendant till we came to Epsom. Dalton's horses were never abreast of Somers' 'bus in Karangahape Road R. Browning, clerk to Mr. McKcchnie, de posed : I wa3 in Hardington's 'bus, looking out behind. Saw the 'bus go very near Dal ton's horses.

To Mr. Joy: I could not swear they did not touch ; the heads of the horses were up to the first wheels of our 'bus.

The Bench considered that the evidence did not bear out the information for " passing on the right-hand side," and, after administering a very strong caution and warning to both drivers, dismissed the case, both parties to pay their own costs.

The Court then rose,

FISHING FOR MEN.

Girls are like anglers. I don't know that the idea is original, but certainly is correct. All'girls are angling, and some, alas! past girlhood, are still at it. Some come jauntily to the river-side, with plentiful bait and hope ful hearts. They, foolish creatures, are just commencing, and know not how wary are the fish. Others fish desperately, having toiled all day and caught nothing. They too came with the same high hopes and plentiful bait. Theirjthoughts ran upon trout, and even a salmon did not eeem beyond them, but now that the sun is setting and their bait nearly gone, a minnow would be acceptable. Some throw their lines far into the stream, and dangle the tempting bait before the eves of the greedy fish. The gorgeous fly skims along the surface of the water, dips beneath it, then rises to descend Jagain and be caught in the mouth of some adventurous fish, who finds, when too-late, and the hook is in his mouth, that the coveted bait consists of pad ding, powder, and paint. Cease your struggles foolish fish! The more you struggle, the more will the hook hurt you. See, the hook is now taken from your mouth, and you are put into a little pool of water to disport yourself, and imagine yourself at liberty again, but Jyou are caught, there is no escape. The other anglers for a moment seem to forget their own lines, and come to look at the new-caught fish. They are envious of the lucky captor, and speak disparagingly of her captive. "There are as good fish in the eea as ever ■were caught," say they, and with this consoling reflection return to their sport.

Though these bold anglers sometimes land a trout, they are more often unsuccessful, for even foolish fish are auspicious of flies which advance to meet them and jump into their mouths. Other anglers, avoiding this extreme, drop their lines close to the bank, and when a fish does venture to smell or nibble, they coyly draw in the bait, hoping thus to .enhance its value, and to induce the fish to pursue. This I am inclined to think is a dangerous experiment. A fish who will follow must either be hard up for a fly, or thoroughly satiated with those that are easily caught.

But by far the most successful anglers are those who, adopting a medium course, neither advance nor retire. They keep the bait quietly in the stream, and there let it flo.it ; the fish gather round it and eye tit hungrily. It seems to them a passive, perhaps even, a sleeping fly, for little do they reck of the eager pair of eyes that watches them from the bank. At last one bold fellow advances, is hooked, and done for.

Sometimes a huge fish is seen playing round the bait. The envious sister-anglers say contemptuously, " very like a whale! " but it more often proves a shark, who carries off the bait, and leaves the line broken*

Oh! that fish would beware. But foolish creatures, they cannot be made to understand. The bait is too tempting for them. They look they smell, they nibble, they bite, and whether the bait prove tinsel or real fly, the hook is ever underneath, and will soon make itself felt.

To you, happy fishes, who are yet sporting in the ocean, or floating down the stream, let me say a few words, " Look well before you leap."
