We understand that it had been the inten tion of Mr. Beckham to adjourn the District Court at an early hour yesterday afternoon, at the wish of the bar generally, in order that the legal gentlemen might attend the funeral of Mrs. Bennett, but Mr. Bennett himself wishing the funeral to be strictly private, the adjournment did not take place.

The s.s. Go-Ahead will leave the wharf this evening, for Wangarei, at 6 o'clock, returning to-morrow, and leaving for the Bay of Islands on Wednesday, at 5 o'clock.

As announced by advertisement, a meeting of German residents was held at the Auckland Hotel, on Saturday evening. Some forty at tended, and conducted their discussions rela tive to the present war in the vernacular of their country. To carry out objects proposed, a committee was formed, consisting of Messrs. Yon Der Heyde, Hucholz, Seherflf, and Die. thelm. The Carandini w.u or Saturday night attendeu by, a very larg.; number of persons, and the selection of musical gems was received with accustomed delight. The Prince of Wales Theatre showed a good house on Saturday, the plays being " The Woman in Red," and " O'Calla^han on His Last Legs." To night the drama is "The Bia .( Doctor." When the Inspector of Nuisances will have done with the posters and barbers' polef of Queen-street, we would recommend him to extend his peregrinations to Jermyn-street- Ihere if a limp of filth there accarnulating to which no .u:>!.nan's cart has paid a visit for manymonti... With summer weather open ing on us the i flluviun- ,!! soon be unbear able; and a visit c >;i tlie Inspector may be attended with nut.« benefit to the health o^ the localii v ■^ 4 , Mieve suffering, and at the 9ame pleasant evening, should atte1 *- - fiance given to-night, at the T J-" . !, by the Tradesmen's G-arrick Civ r:o benefit of Mrs. McGrahan, who recently lost iher husband by a painful accident in the neighbourhood of Otahuhu. The " Colleen Bawn" will be produced. It will be borne in mind by those interested in the reading room of the Mechanics' Insti tute that there will be a meeting of members evening, for the purpose of con sidering and determining at what hour the reading-room should close at night. As there ha 3 been a good deal of grumbling, we trust that all who have got anything to say on the subject will be there, and " speak or forever hold their peace." On Saturday last an accident occurred at Henderson's Mill, from the smashing of a por tion of the machinery, the broken pieces striking a Mrs. Griffiths, and rendering her insensible. No serious results are antici pated. As a person of the name of Burns was coming in from Kaul;apakapa on Saturday evening, when near Henderson's Mill he was attacked by a furious cow, by which he was knocked down several times. Those alarmed by his cries and coming to his rescue, came in for a share of the attentions of the animal. The wounded man has been brought into the hospital.

A meeting of persons interested in the formation of a cricket club is advertised to be held at half-past seven o'clock on Wednesday next, at Messrs. Cochrane & Son's auction mart, Port-street.

We have been requested to call attention to a most deserving institution which is at the present time greatly in want of funds—we refer to the refuge for old women in the Graftou-road, which owes its existence to Mrs. Whitaker and a few other charitably disposed ladies. There are at the present timo six inmates, three of whom were lately sent from the hospital by the Government, which, however, does not even allow theaa rations, so that the whole burden of providing for their welfare rests with a few ladies interested in this truly bene volent institution. The assistance of the charitably disposed is ear_ i-nvited.

The anniversary services in connection with the Baptist Chapel, Wellesley-street, were held yesterday. Captain Peek, of the Mary Shep herd, preached in the morning, and the Rev. Mr. Cornford in the evening. The attendances were good at both services, and satisfactory collections were made. The annual soiree will take place on Tuesday evening.

The monthly meeting of the Wesleyan Band of Hope will be held this evening, in the Pitt-street schoolroom, at 7 o'clock p.m., when addresses are expected from Mr. Le Roy, Mr. J. W. Carr, and other gentlemen. Readings and recHations will also be given.

SUPREME COURT. — CRIMINAL SITTINGS.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. [Before Sir G. A. Arney, Chief Justice, and Common Juries.] His Honoe took his seat on the Bench at 10 o'clock. . ABSENT JURYMAN. Henry Taylor, of Grey-street, was fined £5 for not answering when called to serve on te jury. WHATT SPECIMEN STEALING. James Wilson was arraignu d upon an indict ment, charging him with having stolen 10 lbs. of gold ore, the property of the Whau Grold mining Company, on the 25th of May, 1870. There was a second count, charging the pri souer with stealing one pound weight of gold bearing quartz from the came claim within six months of the alleged previous offence, viz., on the 27th June, 1870. Mr. Brookfield prosecuted on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Hesketh appeared for the company. Mr. Rees defended the prisoner. Robert Somerviile, legal manager of the Whau Gold Mining Company (Registered), proved the certificate of incorporation. George Preston, examined by Mr. Hesketh, deposed that he was a miner on the Thames Goldfield on the dates mentioned in tbe in dictment. The prisoner was working in the Whau claim on the 25th of May last. He was also at work there about ihe 28th of June. The prisoner called at witness's house, and showed him some specimens. Witness cau tioned prisoner in respect of the risk he ran, and the injury he was doing to his fellow workmen. Asked prisoner whether he had any more of them. Prisoner said he had. \sked prisoner to bring them round to witness's house. Prisoner brought them next day, Sunday, Prisoner said he got them out of the "stuff that came out of the winze." Mr. Borthwick is the manager. Witness expected ' to go to work in the Whau claim. Went to i witness's houso to enquire whether there was ] any mes.-age from Mr. Borthwick about going to'work. "Prisoner took a teacup off' the dresser. There was a specimen in it. It was a very rich one. It was taken from stuff stacked at the top of the shaft. Prisoner was carting stuff. Prisoner said ho had done I a good clay's work. Witness again cautioned | the prisoner. He said others took them I (meaning specimens), and he did not see | why hi should not. In cross-examination the witness said that Up wrote a letter to Mr. Somerviile, to the effect that he knew the Whau Company to have been systematically robbed for twelve months; that it was time the thing should be made known. He promised to tell Mr. Somerviile more, but he hoped to be placed in a position such as would enable him to give full information, either as "night watchman," or captain of the shift." (The letter was read. It wa- signed John Watchman).

Mr. Rees followed up a rigorous cross examination upon the descivpancies between the letter aucl his evidence in Court. The witness said both statements were true. He had worked at the Whau battery before. Believed the battery was closed in consequence of the small returns. Was not aware whether specimens were stolen from the battery. Was not aware whether it wa-9 the taking of specimens while he was there that caused the small returns. The prisoner was pressed as to the dates and time 3 at which ho worked at the battery, and at the claim but he coula not. speak positively as to dates. The cross examination lasted over three hours and a half, and had not concluded when our reporter left the Court. [Left sitting.]

Wilson and Joy for the plaintiff; Mr. Wynn for the defendant. The facts of the case nre set forth in the evidence as published below : — The plaintiff deposed that he resided at the Thames. He was a mini g manager. Was acquainted with the defendant, who was a sharebrokcr in Auckland. On the 6th of February last he went to his office in connec tion with fcho purchase of some Long Drive shares. First saw him on the 3rd of that month, when he asked him (defendant.) if ho had any Long Drive scrip for sale. He replied that ho had from £39 10s. to £40. Witness then told him he would take two at £38 each. Mr. Newman said

he would go and see the parties, and if witness called back in two or three hours he would give him a decided answer. Called again later on the same day, when defendant told him he could have the shares at £38 each ; but he was not sure about the validity of the transfers. Witness told him that he must guarantee the scrip, or he would not take them. He then replied that he would do so. Was quite positive that those words were all right. Then paid him £40 as a deposit. Paid him the balance on the sth. He received a docu ment from Mr. Newman, purporting to be a tiansfer of a share in the Long Drive, from Frederick William Balaan to John Crosbie. The defendant filled-in the body of the transfer. Witness did not know anyone of the name of Balaan at that time. Subse quently witness was summoned to the Police Court on the 15th of the same month in a case of the Crown v. Clarke, who was charged with forging the transfer of the share in ques tion. Witness afterwards saw the defendant, who said it was no use going to law, and said that he would abide by the decision of his solicitor. Witness ultimately had to bring the present action for the recovery of the money for the share which he had paid him for. The witness was examined at considerable length by Mr. Wynn. Fred. "William Balaan was examined, and deposed that the signature on the transfer was not his. In cross-examination the witness admitted that he had authorised Clarke, of the firm of Dean and CJark, to sell the share for him. The Court adjourned for half-an-hour.

POLICE COURT.— Monday. (Before H. 11. Turton, Esq., J.P.) DEUNKENNESS. W. Woods, Jane Lang, and R. Lawson were each fined ss. and costs, or to be impri soned 24 hourSj with hard labour. J. Janson and Emily Hovvley, for second oflences, were each fined 10s. and costs, or to be imprisoned 48 hours, with hard labour. MUNICIPAL POLICE ACT. G. Tiesley was charged with allowing cattle to stray, but it appeared that the police had been misled by the person in charge of the cattle as to their ownership, and on the re quest of Mr. Broham, the case was dismissed. The Court then rose.

MECHANIC'S INSTITUTE. To the Editor of the Evening Star

"None but full members shall have votes.

Sib, —Such i 3 the purport of an advertise ment of a meeting proposed to be held to-morrow evening, of the subscribers to the above Institution. What is a full member? I pay the full amount of the subscription required of me for the privilege I require, that of reading the newspapers ; but I do not require the use of books from the library, and therefore do not pay for their use. But I do not think that I (and others) should be en tirely ignored when a question, like that pro posed to be considered on Tuesday evening, arises, which nflVcta my (and others') interest or convenience so materially. The manngers of the institution may depend upon it that liberal views towards all clashes of subscribers will in the enrl tend most towards the pros pi'riiy of the Institution. A short time biufie a letter appeared in one of the daily journals, sneering at a correspon dent who had made some complaint of the manner in which he had been treated in the institution, calling him " a farthing-a-day subscriber," and intimating that he was under great obligation to him, " a full subscriber," and therefore it was great presumption in him to make any complaint at all.

Now whether I subscribe a farthing or a half-penny a day is a matter of choice, per haps dictated by reasons of economy or conve nience. lam equally or rather doubly in the latter case indebted to that cleeymosynary aid from without, lacking which our institution must soon fall. May £1 therefore hope that cur rulers will see the necessity of cultivating the convenience ,and good will of all the sub scribers without distinction, and the wishes of even farthing-a-day subscribers respected and listened to. —Yours, &c,

A Fabthing a Day.

MR. W. B. UPTON.

The almost sudden death, this morning, of Mr. W. B. Upton lias caused a general feeling of sorrow. The deceased geiitleman was so much esteemed and respected, from his upright character and gentlemanly demeanour in business, lhat his being cut o(F in the prime of his life, and just when realising the reward of liia enterprise, appears very sad. The senior partner in the linn of Upton Brothers, he had been about ten years in the colony, during part of which lie had been in business for himself. Tne firm had just removed into new and extensive, uid beautiful premises, and at the moment when prospects seemed brightest and most hopeful, death comes and throws a shroud over all. I fc is believed that the ex itemenfc of the removal, and the cares incident to the urrangement of more c. tended business, had overcome his strength, and pro duced the illncsp under which he sank. He has left a wife and young children lo mourn their sudden bereavement. The funeral will take place to-morrow, at three o'clock, when we are sure a large number of his fellow citizens will pay the last tribute of sorrow and esteem for one who wa; so much liked.
