The Evening Star. WEDNESDA Y, MARCH 29, 1871.

In the hearing of the Parnell assault case, on Monday last, in the Police Court, as re portod in our issue of that day, certain intemperate language was sworn to by the plaintiff a3 having been used to him by de fendant. The latter feels aggieved at the case having been dismissed so suddenly, before he had time to disprove the statement, and gives his distinct and unqualified denial to his having ever used the words attributed to him by the complainant.

The Trustees of the Dedwood Highway District give notice that all rates unpaid on Tuesday next will be handed to a Solicitor for recovery.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN GUILDING.

It is with sincere regret we have to an nounce the death of Captain Guilding, which took place about midnight last night. The deceased gentleman, who was a native of Auckland, had been eleven years a member of tbe Naval Volunteers, during nine of which he had occupied the post of captain, and was deservedly esteemed for his urbanity and kindly disposition. During his term of office ho had seen some active service, and in his civil capacity occupied the position of Assistant Wharfinger, in which office he had gained many friends, having attracted to himself the friendship of all those with whom he came in contact. The deceased gentleman —who was in the prime of manhood, being only twenty eight years of age—had been suffering for some time from congestion of the liver, and his death, though so regretted, was not unexpected, it being generally known for a considerable time past that he was not likely to recover. During to-d»y the flags of vessels at the wharf have been flying half-mast high in token of respect for the deceased ; and as Captain Guilding (in addition to his other officers), was a member of the Waitemata Lodge of Free Masons, all the lodges in the city, as well as the Volun teers, will follow in procession to the grave. The funeral is to ta-ke place to morrow at half-past three, and from the sincere respect and esteem in which the deceased was held, we have no donbt that a very large number of citizens will unite in paying the last tribute of re spect to Captain Guilding.

THE THAMES MINING BOARD.

The polling for the election of members of the Thames Mining Board was fixed for yes terday. The polling place for the city of Auckland was the Provincial Council Cham bers, and Mr. T. C. Leggett \va3 appointed Deputy Returning Officer for the occasion. His task was not a Tery onerous one, for not a single rote was recorded. This shows the great interest that is taken in Auckland in the appointment of the members of this Board. On the last occasion of a similar election only five votes were recorded in Auckland ; this year the grand total of votes is —nil. This result seems to hare been partly anticipated by the Returning Officer of fthortlaud, for he sent word to his deputy, saying that if no voles were recorded a few lines to that effect would suffice. The follow ing are the names of the candidates : —Messrs. Robert Davidson, Robert Walker, Fairburn, Daniel Garvey, William Somerbey, Greenville, Alexander Hays, Edward Henry Power, Roderick McDonald Scott, James Sutherland, and John D. Wickham.

SUPREME COURT.—In Banco.

WEDNESDAY, MAECH 29.

[Before His Honor Sir. G-. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.] His Honob sat to-day in banco, and dis posed of the following business :—

Mohi Mahoahakia t. Ceaig-. — Judg ment. —Mr. MacCormick appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Hesketh for the defendant.— His Honor delivered judgment upon demurrer in this case. The action was brought to re cover compensation in damages for trespass from the defendant. The declaration con tained two counts, setting out that the de fendant did, on divers days between the Ist of December, 1867, and the 18th May, 1870, go upon the plaintiff's land, and wrongfully cut down trees thereon, and did commit va rious wrongful acts. The second count alleged that on divers occasions, between the Ist of January, 1870, and the 28th January, 1870, did take and carry away, and convert to his own use, various timber logs, from a block of land, known as the Opitonui.—His Honor delivered a very elaborate judgment, setting out the allegations of the declaration and the averments of the pleadings. He gave judg ment for the plaintiff on both demurrers. The first was a demurrer to the defendant's plea, and the second to the plaintiff's replica tion.—Mr. Hesketh applied for leave to amend the defendant's third plea.—Mr. Mac- Cormick objected upon the ground that it'

I leave were given indiscriminately to amend '• the case, plaintiff might bo thrown over i indefinitely. Leave wa given to amend on payment o*f (O3fc3. —Mr. Hesketh asked leave to amend generally. —His Honor said he would sit on Friday, when the application might be renewed. Habms y. Craig.—This was a motion by the defendant to ma!re absolute a rule nhi for the discharge of injunction obtained by the plaintiff', and the appointment of a receiver of the property referred to in tke above action, namely, the timber logs. The plain tiff is the person in possession of the property. The declaration set out the fuels of the " famous siege of logs," and recited the fears of the defendant that the property might be carried out to sea.—His Honor : This gentle man opens a new phase in the litigation. There is no knowing whaf. other questions may not arise. It is difficult to say that even the jurisdiction of the Court, as a Court of Vice-Admiralty, niuy not be moved, should these logs go to tea, and so be come property on the high seas.— Mr. MaeCorujick read the affidavit of Mr. Harris, jun., which stated, omong other thing?, that it was impossible the logs could be washed out to sea. A rule had been already iv the case, and the order wa9 to the effect that the matter bo referred to the Registrar, who would take security for the costs, and against injury to the plaintiff, in the event of the result of the action being in his favor. The order then made was still in force. There had been uo less thnn five applications to the Court, and some of these weie identical with the present, so that the question had been adjudicated. He subniiited whether the Court had power to entertain the application. But the injunc tion was obtained to prevent the defendant repeating wrongful acts and trespasses already committed, lie contended that there was no ground for appealing to the equity jurisdic tion of the Court.—Mr. Hesketh was heari in support of the rule.

POLICE COURT.—Wednesday.

[Before J. O'Neill and Cr. B. Owen, Esqs.j

Justices of the Peace.]

Dhxtnkenness. —Walter Scott, Pidina (a Maori), Catherine Regan, R.Snrcefield, J. Hill, W. Campbell and R. Doran were punished in the usual manner as drunkurds.

Vagrancy. — Annie Stewari and Mary McManus were sont to prison for 14 days each, as vagrants.

ASSA.ULT. —Alfred Larkins was charged with having assaulted John McDougall on the 26th March. —Air. Wynn for complainant j Mr. Joy for the defendant, who pleaded guilty and expressed regret. —The case was amicably settled, defendant paying a fine of Is. and costs. Desertion. —John Cronin was charged by Ann Crouiu with having neglected to support his two children, under 14 years of age.— Case dismissed. Laeceny. —Edward Good was charged with having feloniously stolen one silver watch, tbe property of J. W. Knigt, on December 5. The same prisoner was also charged with having stolen from J. Kane, on Januury 13, » »iU.» wa.hnh .Albert r-l»un_Jfc»raaeh. and locket, value £b.—rieaciea guilty to butt, charges, and was sentenced for each to two months' imprisonment.—[Mr. J. S. Macfar lane here took his seat on the Bench.]

Assault. —Donald Stewart, master of the schooner Onward, was charged with having assaulted two Islands natives.—Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Brookfield for tbe prosecution ; Mr. Tyler for the defence.—Me3srß. Beveridge and Brookfield objected strongly to Mr. J. S. Macfarlaue sitting on the bench, on the grounds of his being an interested party, as part owner of tho Onward.—Air. Macfarlane denied that he was interested in the case, and a warm scene occurred, during which Mr. Macfarlane maintained his right. Subse quently, during the progress of the case, Mr. Macfarlane retired from the bench, and took his seat in the body of the Court. —Eliza, a male native of the Fijis, being sworn through an interpreter, detailed a long case of alleged filthy conduct and cruelties. Ou tho passage from Levuka to Nandi tbe captain had given him a pipe filled with gunpowder and covered with tobacco, which had burnt him on ex ploding. [The remainder of tho evidence was unfit for jmblication.J—The examination of this witness was continued at great length, and he was subjected to a severe cross-exami nation by Mr. Tyler. At one o'clock, on the conclusion of his evidence, the Court ad journed till two.

The Bench resumed at 2.20 p.m. —Mr. Brookfield applied for an adjournment, a3 Mr. Owen, who was leaving the colony, could not be present on the Bench.—Adjourned to 10.30 a.m. on Thursday.

DISTRICT COURT—Wednesday.

[Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., District Judge.]

The Court sat again at 10 o'clock this uior ning.

Okfic^i Liquidator v. Waterfall Gold Mining Company.—The list of contributions was brought up. '1 he objectiouo f Mr. Henry Cucksey was overuled, and the schedule con firmed.

Same t. Mocking Bibd.—Mr. [Rees ob jected on behalf of Mr. Joseph Badley ; he stated that Mr. Badley had been working in the mine, and had received an injury for which a number of scrips had been presented to him by the directors of the company. The Judge ruled that tlie objection was not good, and confirmed the original schedule, and contributions.

Same v. Mount Alexander Gold Mining Company.—After some discussion the sched ule was confirmed.

This was all the business, and the Court ad journed.

VOLUNTEERING BEING- AT THE NORTH SHORE.

A wem attended meeting of the inhabitants of the North Shore was held at the Devonport Hall on Monday evening. Mr. David Burn occupied the chuir. A number of speeches were made, and at the close of the meeting twenty-three names were enrolled by youns men willing to form themselves into a Volunteer force. It is not yet decided whether the force shall be an artil lery, rifle, or engineer corps; that is a matter which ia to be left to the future. It is^ intended to hold two drills a wook for the noxt. month to como, and if at the end of that time it is found that tho men are really in oarnest, then they will be organ ized iv the usual way, and enrolled as a regu lar rifle corps. Our own opinion is that they

should be embodied in the shape of an artil lery corps, with a battery on the North Head, where, in case of a visit from hostile vessels, they might be of some service.

THE MAIL.

All the officers of the Prussian line have to pass six months in the ranks. For two thirds of them (his is a probation, at the end of which they have to satisfy a standing .com mittee of the corps to which they seek admis sion not only as to professional attainments, but also to parentage aiid means. The remaining third hare received their appoint ments direct from the cadet schools, and may be considered, thereon, to be nominated by the King. For the Landwehr, or reserve forces, a body of instructed officers has been pro vided by regulations so prcgnaut with wisdom and affording such an excellent example for our imitation that they merit some detail. Conscription is universal, but all young men of the educated classes, who are able to pro vide the means of their own equipment and maintenance, and to produce certificates of conduct and attainments from school or college, are allowed to serve for one year in the different li^ht infantry or rifle corps. When the young cadet, or " einjahriger," as he is called, joins the corps to which he has chosen to be attached, he is posted to a com pany, after which his attendance is rigidly exacted at drills and parades, but except when on military c uty his time is at his own dis posal. The military enthusiasm of 1813 has so far survived, that it has long been regarded as part of the education of the son of every manufacturer, proprietor, professional man, even evei'y prosperous shopkeeper, to spend one of the years between 17th and 20th birth days in passing through this volunteer course. Sucli of these cadets as do not aspire above the average level return to their homes, with the prospect of taking their places in the ranks of the conscription in their turn ; but any cadet who desires it may by special aptitude obtain a certificate of qualification, entitling him to the first vacancy a3 sergeant, and in due course to a commission, in the Landwehr battalion of his particular district.—"The French and German Armies and the Campaign in trance," iv the Quarterly Review.

At a meeting of the Brighton (England) burgesses the other day, Mr. Wood fluid in reference to the dinner given to the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his visit to that place, "They went and spent a lot of money in feasting that great pauper the Prince of Wales, (liisses, applause, and uproar.) Yes ; he would repeat it. (Hisses and confusion.) Hiij definition of a pauper was anybody who was mean enough to be fed out of the poor rates, and he happened to knatv that they almost spent £500, in feasting that great pauper (hisses) out of the poor rates. He could not understand any manfiaring to be called that when lie is contemptible enough to be fed out of the poor rates. (Question.) That was the question—how their money was spent."— News of the World.

" A sad spectacle is now presented by many churches in Normandy. The two at Pont Andamer are occupied by four thousand ill foi n.«ift' iir-craajor reucu-«~~-.rw»___AjOfIojiflLear_ fourteen hundred mobiles sleep on the nag-' stones of St. Leonard's Church, and in St. Catherine's are fifteen hundred in so exhausted a state that three or four have died under the porch. At Lisieux fifteen thousand men, worn out with huziger and cold, arrived lately, one thousand of whom are lodged in the three churches. The greatest sufferers rest on the arm-chairs of the priests and churchwardens, while in the chapels a frugal repast is prepared and ragged garments are mended. Amid all this tapers are burning before the Virgin, and soldiers on their knees are imploring her to bring back victory to them, ond that order and discipline which alone makes armies invincible.

Experiments are to be made at Shooter's Hill in order to test the utility of Thomson's road steamer in drawing guns and other heavy loads up lull, over bad roads, or land where there is no road at all, with a view to its introduction into the Army Service Corps. One of the smaller engines has already been purchased, and is in use at tho Royal Arsenal, where an instructor is daily employed teaching soldier artisans how to handle it.

The Roman Catholic ladies of England, fol lowing the example of the ladies of Rome, contemplate (understands the Westminister Gazette) presenting an address of sympathy to the Pope.

The Chief Constable of Leeds, in reporting a large increase in the number of persons con victed of drunkenness, notwithstanding an improved state of the beer houses, attributes the increase to the deleterious quality of the liquor drunk, which creates in some a stupor so complete as to render them incapable of the least action. He states that he h:is " seen men fall as suddenly as though poisoned." The worst feature in such cas^s is, that the poor at length aoquire a liking for such depressing poisons, and use them because their stupefying effect is more intense and continuous. It is said that in Liverpool public-houses selling wholesome liquor cannot compete, in 'he lowest districts, with those which do not, Surely it is a matter of public interest that publicans should be prevented from thus poisoning the people wholesale, and from converting them from industrious citizens into dependent paupers. The Wooden Line-of-Battlo Ships Marl borough, 4,000 tons and 800-horse power; Frederick William, 3241 tons, and 500-horse power ; and R<syal George, 2,616 tons, and 400-horse power, have been surveyed, and, in the event of the country being engaged iv hostilities, are destined for hospital ships of the fleet.

The Twin-screw Gunboat Bustard was launched on January 7 by Messrs. R. Napier and Sons from their building-yard at Govan.

Her length is S5 feet ; breadth, 26 feet; depth, 8 feet 9 inches ; burthen, 245 tons b.m. ; engines, 28 nominal h.p. The arma ment consists of one 18-ton gun, mounted on a platform forward, which works within a " well" formed by iron-plate bulk-heads —into which " well " the gun is lowered when being loaded, thereby protecting it and the gunner —and raised to deliver its fire.

It has been resolved to establish in England a society to be called the " Infant Life Pro tection Society," on the model of similar so cities in France, having for its first object the introduction of a bill into Parliament for the registration and supervision of nurses who receive children of others into their homes, and of tho children entrusted to their care.
