The Domain ~n ;, we m cm^:^t he an object of great p.- £ m ft row, in the p ' - " - r^'wr. " jf^f 2?^- :---• Auckland .more imposing military pageant^ but there is much in the

Review to be held calculated to make

it very interesting to the people of the city. Volunteering has unquestion ably received a considerable impulse, and at no time has there previously been evinced more interest in our citizen soldiers. The recent tir federal of New Zealand having been held here, has directed attention prominently to military affairs, and this being the first general Eeview held since then, we very reasonably expect that it will be attended with corresponding eclat. A very large, probably an unusually large crowd will therefore throng to see an an nual military spectacle, and the in conveniences that have attended pre vious reviews are likely to not only be repeated but multiplied. Experience does not prompt us to expect much savoir faire at the hands of military men. In fact, " how not to do it" rather characterises our ideas of mili tary things. But our Volunteer system beiug a kind of cross between the civilian and the soldier, Aye may reasonably expect a modifica tion of that fierce military disregard of popular feelings and convenience that has sometimes marked the con duct of reviews. It is, of course, the business of the crowd to keep out of the way of the Volunteers, and if the latter blaze away into the faces of the crowd, it only shows the terrible reck lessness regarding human life which our defenders will show on the field of battle. It may, therefore, seem to some who are authorities on such subjects, that indifference to the com mon people invests the soldier with a real military dignity. Nevertheless, as it at times requires considerable and laudable self-restraiut on the part of the public to refrain from laughing at certain evolutions and positions in the mimic conflict, those charged with the conduct of affairs should do as little as possible to put the public to inconvenience, and at times annoy ance—for we shall not make ourselves ridiculous by speaking of danger. Of course we are not presumptuous enough to suggest how this should be done; but we would merely hint that it might be done, as such things are managed in the lower sphere of civil i a n life. And although bungling characterised the military history ! England in latter days, it is a mist to suppose that the absence of com mon sense, necessarily evidences the possession of soldierly qualities.

We regret to see that the drama in Auck land has lost one of its brightest ornaments, the death of Mrs. Harry Jackson being an nounced in another column. The deceased lady, since her arrival in Auckland, had won for herself a great popularity, from the pleasing, natural, and at times fascinating style of her impersonations, and her death will be greatly regretted by all admirers of the drama in this city, and wherever else her delineations of human character have been known. As will bo seen, tho Theatre Royal has for to-night suspended its per formances in respect for the memory of the dead. *- The Revising Officer, L.

THE LATE FIRE.

INQUEST AT THE NAVAL HOTEL.

An inquest was held, yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, before T. M. Philson, Esq., M.D., Coroner, at the Naval Hotel, Newton (Mr. J. Mark ham), to enquire into the origin of the late fire in Pitt-street. The following gentle men were empannelled as a jury : John Hol loway, W. C. Autridge, Richard Reeves, Jas. Davis, William McPherson, John Oliver, Henry Skne, J. S. Cousins, F. Rosser, T. Shove, John Cornish, James Curley, J. War ren, S. Davenport, and Thomas Walker. Mr. S. Davenport was chosen foreman—Mr. Jones, on behalf of the Royal Insurance Com pany, Mr. Armstrong (Jackson and Russell) _ Mr. Wynn on behalf of the Boyal and New Zealand Insurance Companies; Mr. J. P. Pierce, New Zealand Insurance Company ; Mr. John •Buchanan, London and Liverpool Insurance Company ; and Mr. Broham were present.— After the jury had viewed the scene of the disaster, the following evidence was taken : — Mr. Wynn briefly addressed the jury ; he said, I have been instructed to appear to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Royal and New Zealand Insurance Companies. I may say that this examination is merely a preliminary one. We shall not be able to complete the investigation to-day. The fire occurred in an empty house. We propose to examine such evidence as we can now get, and then adjourn the enquiry, with a view to give those who have charge of the enquiry time to prosecute further enquiries, as we believe it to have been the work of an incendiary. — W. J. Offer being sworn, and duly cautioned not to give any information or evidence which might tend to criminate himself, deposed: I live in Grey-street. I have been cautioned against giving any evidence that may crimi nate myself. I recollect having entered into some arrangements to buy a house for Mr. Cole about a month ago. The house was occupied by Mr. Cole. I went to see the house. It is in Pitt-street. Mrs. Cole ob jected to my seeing the house. The reason she gave was that Mr. Cole had told her nothing of it, and she would object to allowing the house being sold until Mr. Cole bad made arrangements to give her part of the money. Mr. Cole asked me £550 for the house. The bargain went off, as I refused to have anything to do with it until the house was empty. I afterwards purchased the next house from Captain Dinnin, for £400. I had an insur ance on it to tho extent of i2OO, in the Im perial. I recollect the night of the fire. It was on_the morning of Sunday week last, about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Shorland first awoke aie. I was lodging with her. When I came outside I observed the fire in the middle of the .-eetlise I had bought. The sketch pro divExce.airly represents the houses as they '■'tase .i Pitt-street previous to the fire. The l_OT_sijigin&te& in an empty house. There was .5-0 x 7fng of a combustible nature either in or LOT^ house. It had been cleaned out. I J- -,■ 'mre the fire originated in my unoccupied ' -use. My partner (Mr. Smith) and I came

out together. We ran to ring the fire bell. On passing Mrs. Cole's house she called to me, and asked me to assist her to carry a box across the street. The fire had then full con trol of my house. The flames were coming out of the back window. There was a space of about th*ee feet between my house and that occupied by Mrs. Cole. I took the box to Heighton's (blacksmith), and then assisted Mrs. Shorland. in getting out her furniture. I can afford no kind of information myself as to the origin of the fire. I locked up my own house at five o'clock. There was no fastening on the door opening on tv the upper verandah. Any one to get in there must climb over the veran dah.—By a Juryman : I passed the house at midnight. There wore people about at that time. There had been no repairs going on. I had received an assignment of the Insurance Policy amounting to £200.—Re-examined by Mr. Wynn : I could not say how Mrs. Cole was dressed when she asked me to carry the box. I was too excited.—Jesse Ensor Cole deposed (after being duly cautioned) : I live ,i-, Wake/ield-street. I remember the lire in . iLt-stx-' et. I was the owner of one house that was burnt down, and which was occupied oy my wife. lam not on amicable terms with my wife, and have not been for some time. The house in which she was living was furnished by myself. The furniture was insured to the extent of £300. For some time previously I had been endeavouring to effect a sale of the house. I had not done so. Mrs.

Cole had by her conduct prevented me from effecting a sale to Mr. Offer. She refused to permit him to see Lhe house. The two houses adjoining mine belonged to Mrs. Cole. I have conveyed them to her for her benefit about December last. Wo separated some time in January. She continued to live in my house under sufferance until my house was complete. At tho time of tho fire I was lodging with Mrs. Russell in Wakefield-street. I am tbo only boarder. That is nearly half a mile from the fire. I returned to rest that evening about half-past ten. I had previously been to the play. I went there alone, and on leaving I went straight home. I saw Mrs. Russell when I went home. I refuse to answer whether I occupied the same apartment with Mrs. Russell that night. I will put up with the consequences and refuse to answer the ques tions.—Mr. Wynn : Then I must ask you, Mr. Coroner, to commit Mr. Cole, I Only put these questions from a purely professional motive. —Mr. Cole : Will you defer my examination until I consult a solicitor as to whether I ought to answer the question.—Mr. Wynn : I ask you again; did you occupy the same apartment as Mrs. Russell ? lam sure there can be no doubt on the miud of anyone that this firo was tho work of an incendiary.—■ Mr. Cole: Then in that case I did. I was disturbed by the fire-bell between half-past one and two o'clock. I expressod no opinion a3 to where the fire was. I said it was in my direction. I did not say "fc was my house. I said that to Mrs. Russell. I walked to the fire partially dressed. T. c house was insured for £300, and the furniture for £300. Ido not know how -the fire originated. When I arrived there my own house was entirely in flames. My house was more in flames than my next door neighbour's. I believe the fire originated in my house, judging from the state of the conflagration when I got there. Emilet Cole, being duly sworn and cautioned, deposed : I am the wife of Jesse Ensor Cole. I live in Wellington-strret. I recollect the occasion of the fire in Pitt-street. I was then living in a house owned by my husband. I have been living apart from my husband for some time. He is now living with some other woman. The house and furniture were insured in my husband's name. The two houses ad

joining had been conveyed to me for my use. I know Mr. Offer's house. It was next to the one I lived in. It was unoccupied. I was disturbed about two o'clock by a little girl, who slept in the house. She awoke me. Her name is Ada Hewlitt. Her parents live in Grey-street. I got out of bed. We both ran to the front door and screamed " fire." j The light of the fire came from Mr. Offer's house. I Went into the spare room. There was a window in it looking to Mr. Offer's house. At that time my house was not on fire. I got a box out of the spare room, and the girl carried the baby. It is quite false, if Mr. Offer said he carried my box. It was not heavy ; I carried it myself to Mr.. Heighton's. I was in my night dress, and ran to and fro several times trying to save things. I saw a man the first time I went out ; he was looking down between the two houses. He did not assist me. He turned round and deliberately walked away. I went over to Mr. Heighton's. The fire appeared to have originated in Mr. Offer's fowl-house. The house and furniture were insured in Mr. Cole's name. There was but two feet between my house and Mr. Offer's, so that if one were burnt the other must go. —At this stage of the proceedings the further hearing of the case was adjourned until Monday next, at 2 p.m.

ADJOURNED LICENSING MEETING-.—Tuesday.

The meeting for the issue and transfer of publicans' licenses, adjourned from the 16th instant, was held at the Police Court at noon. There were present—Messrs. J. O'Neill (in the chair), O'Rorke, C. O'Neill, Pierce, May, M'Leod, W. A. Graham, and Styak, Justices. An application was made by James Popple ton for the issue of a license for his hotel, situated at Waikomiti. —Mr. Joy appeared for the applicant, Mr. Wynn appeared to oppose. —Mr. Joy urged that as two similar licenses had been granted on last Court day, this also should be granted, and at the same fee as last year, when the house was licensed as a bush hotel.-—Mr. Wynn argued that the Court was not competent to grant the license, the preliminaries requisite not having been complied with—the applicant not having given the necessary notices.—The Court decided that as the full Bench of nine on a previous occasion decided the question, the license should be granted.—Mr. Joy then applied for the issue of the license at the reduced fee, as for a bush license. —Mr. Wynn opposed, on the grounds that another hotel within two miles paid the full fee.—The Bench agreed to recommend the smaller fee. An application was made by John Greenway for a reconsideration of the decision of the Bench, refusing a renewal of license to the Carpenters' Arms, Grey-street, of which John Adams is the present occupant. —Mr. Wynft appeared for the applicant, and urged that the case was one of peculiar hardship, and ex plained that Adams had refused to allow the repairs to be made, and threatened to give the men iv charge who came to effect the repairs. -Adams was about giving up possession.—The Court decided to grant the license ; to issue only when the house is placed in such a con dition as to satisfy the Inspector of Police. An application was made by Mr. Joy for the rehearing of the application of John Beck, that a license should issue to the Royal Oak Hotel, in Chapel and Cook-streets.—Mr. Joy presented a petition from 20 neighbour ing residents, praying that a license be granted. . —The Court decided not to re-open the case. An application was made by Mr. Wynn on behalf of Benjamin Turner, for the re-con sideration of the refusal of a license to the Royal Gecge, at Newmarket. Mr. Wynn explained that it was a case precisely similar to that of the Carpenters' Arms, the present occupant, whose tenancy is just expiring, having refused repairs to bo made. Mr. In spector Broham having read his report on the house, stating that the building was a very old one, and iv such a state of delapidation that it required all to be taken to pieces and reconstructed. —The Court decided to grant the license, to issue on the requirements, as stated by Mr. Inspector Broham, having been fully complied with.

NATIVE LANDS COURT.

TUESDAY, MAY 23,

[Before His Honor F. D. Fenton, Esq., Chief Judge, and Wiremu Hikairo, Native Asses sor.] The Court sat to-day for the purpose of settling the form of order, which had been under consideration, iv respect of the claims to the foreshore of the Thames. Kauweranga Mud Fiats.—Mr. McCor mick appeared for the Crown. Mr. Hesketh for the claimants.—The evidence had been taken some time back, in which several natives preferred a claim to the land, on the ground that it had been formerly used as a fishing ground by their ancestoi-s, who lived there, and put up -various structures. The Court now settled the form of order for the certificate of title. It ordered that the certificate of title be issued, to tho exclusive right of fishing upon these grounds and the use for the purposes of fish ing, whether with stake, net, or otherwise, of the foreshore of Kauweranga. The Court also, on the application of Mr. MacUormick, for tho Crown, declared its intention of recommend ing a restriction upon tho alienability of the right from tho natives, so as to renderjit inali enable except to Her Majesty, heir heirs and successors, or to the Governor of New Zealand for the time being. This form of certificate, with the accompanying restriction, will apply to all cases of claims preferred to the foreshore of the Thames district. The Court then adjourned
