The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1871.

The proceedings of yesterday, in the Licens ing Court, had the effect of producing no small trepidation among the Bonifaces of Auckland. A glance at the faces assembled in the hall of justice, rubicund and jolly as they usually are, showed that there was fear among the Licensed Victuallers; and the smile that flashed across each jolly visage as 11 Granted " passed the lips of the Chairman, showed the respect in which the new Licensing Act is held. The copious and exhaustive report of Mr. Inspector Brohan showed that the majority of the hostelries required purifi cation, and the attempt at cleansing the Au gean stables has been vigorously made. The rooting out of the hot-beds of crime in the sup pression of one or two well-known " Thieves' homes " is to be rejoiced at by all who do not desire the dissolving of the bends of society. These served indeed one practical and useful purpose in enabling the police to drop on crime with extraordinary celerity, and the facilities afforded in the rendezvous of thieves, burglars, and prostitutes, will be missed by the police. The large number of licenses held over for subsequent consider ation does not necessarily imply anything discreditable in the conduct or character of the houses. Some excellent and well conducted hotels have had their claims held over, often for the most unimportant defects j but there are certainly some hotel keepers that should look to it, for the police mean mischief, and the Bench seems disposed to weigh questions in very even balances. Mr. Broham has conducted the proceedings with great impartiality, and this being the first really important and trying ordeal to ■which he has been subjected, he has shown that he has in him the stuff of which a police officer should be made. His conduct has been such as must give satisfaction to all the deserving licensees in the city, and that he •hould inspire fear in all others is not to be regretted.

The impudence of the old reprobate Te Hira has found expression, and, as will be seen from the telegram in another column, he has thrown down the glove to Mr. McLean. It would really be a good thing if the old can nibal would be himself arrested. The lodge ment of him and his amiable sister-the lovely Mary—in Mount Eden, would have a moral effect of no mean magnitude, and the feat is not one that should be beyond the power of a lightly equipped party making a dash from the Thames. Aa a remnant of the old "man-eaters," Te Hira, -who first was seen by civilisation sitting on !^° «8,. of a mountain, gnawing at «w gthigh-bone of a man, and his sister, whose gaunt and shrivelled old anatomy has been the terror of surveyors, would make a pretly mcture. And their photograph, as cha fl l, a fn couPle who had* force of of SLr reSlBt J t° the last the influences iIZ It 'T d Blmosfc ™fchi* cooey of ient 7and°T^ ineM ' dM the Xnlrl h ab6tted ,Crime With impunity, should be preserved among the historical mementos of New Zealand. ™»wnoai

We would sfrorgly recommend the fixing I of a lamp in the neighbourhood of the Drill- ■ shed, not only for the comfort and convenience of the Volunteers in going to and from their nightly exercise, but a3 a prevc-ntive to a con siderable amount of questionable billing and cooing for which this quiet retreat and ad joining localities seem very generally selected. Deeds of darkness hsite the light, and a light pUieeci in that place would have the effect of making it less frequented, p.nd in various ways be productive of goo !. We suggest not this from our own fancies, but from our at tention and advocacy having been repeatedly aslied to the subject.

Owing to Mr. Beckham's absence at Tara naki, there will not be a sitting of the Resi dent Magistrate's Court on Friday next, nor of the District Court on Monday next. Both Courts will accordingly stand adjourned till the following Court days.

Creditors in the estate of George W. Cameron are requested to prove their debts before the 29th inst.

A call of tsvo shillings per share has been made in the Belfast G-old-mining Company, payable on the 6th May.

NATAL BRIGADE.—ELECTION OF MR. DARGAVILLE.

The Naval Volunteer Brigade held a meeting last night, at the Drill Shed, Fort Britomart, the main business being the election of a successor to the late Captain Guilding. There was a large at tendance of members, and after the con sideration of finances had been post poned, names of candidates were sub mitted. Mr. J. M. Dargaville, of Must and Co., and Lieutenant Le Roy were proposed, and after a ballot had been taken, it was found that the number of votes were equal. The casting vote of the chairman was given in favor of Mr. Dargaville. ~We sincerely congratulate the Brigade on the selectionfwhich has been made. Mr. Dargaville, not only from, social position, but bonJwmmie, is calculated to popularise the branch of the service entrusted to him, and we have no doubt that his attention to duty will go far to increase the efficiency of the Brigade.

POLICE COURT.—Wednesday.

[Before R. F. Porter and G-. P. Pierce, Esqs., Justices.]

DBTTNKENITEBS.—Five persons were punished in the usual manner for this offence, typA tvn forfeited bail. xsHpr.

LABCEsrsr.—W. Thompson "was c' ged with stealing an axe from Neil Campbell, value 3a. Pleaded guilty, and having be a previously convicted, was sentenced to six months' im prisonment. PBBJFHr. —William Perciral waa charged by T. M. Stewart, manager of the Bank of New Zealand, with having committed wil ful and corrupt perjury in his testimony given in the Resident Magistrate's Court, in an action bro.ight by defendant against the bank for £10 10s, on which occasion as alleged it was stated bj defendant that he had never drawn a certain cheque for that amount in favor of James Russell. It was stated by the prosecution that said cheque had since been found.—Mr. Brookfield for the prosecution, Mr. Wynn for the defence. — Thomas Buddie, solicitor, deposed : I recollect an action brought in the Resident Magistrate's Court on the 17th March by defondant against the Bank of New Zealand, for a sum of ten guineas; was present in Court during the hearing of the case ; defondant was duly sworn as witness ; his evidence was the only evidence as to whether the cheque for £10 10s was drawn or not; he swore that ho was positive he did not draw the cheque; the four letters produced were shown to Mr. Percival, and lie admitted them to be in his handwriting. (The letters were read by Mr. Brookfield, and had been written to the manager of the Bank ask ing for the production of the cheque drawn by him in favour of Mr. Eussell.) The defendant had denied after seeing these letters that he had drawn the cheque; he said he ought to have said in the letters " supposed to have been drawn by me;" The defendant became bankrupt, so that the case, which was adjourned, -was not concluded.— W. F. Lodge, Clerk of the Resident Magi trate's Court, corroborated the previous evidence.—G-. S. Kissling, Accountant of the Bank of New Zealand, produced the defen dant's pass-book, and showed that a cheque was charged to defendant as paid to James Russell. There was a dispute about the loss of the cheque. Had repeated interviews with defendant about eighteen months ago in re ference to the cheque, but he never denied having drawn it. He told me that ho wanted to trace through whose hands the cheque had passed, as Mr. Russell had not given him credit for the amount. Since the action in the Resident Magistrate's Court, the cheque has been found inside the pass-book. (Cheque produced.) The cheque bears his signature as William Percival, Captain, Paymaster East Coast Militia, and is dated 25th June, 1867. It is made pajable to J. Russell, Esq.', or order. It was paid by cash across the counter. —Q-. F. Wbitaker deposed : I am, and was in July, 1867, ledger-keeper in the Bank of New Zealand. Corroborated the previous evidence. —Mr. Wynn reserved his defence, and the defendant was committed for trial at the Supreme Court. Bail allowed in his own bond for £300, and two sureties of £150 each.

Geahamstown, 2 p.m. The Caledonian have taken out some magnificent specimens this morning, and have also taken out good gold from the mid-level, above No. 2 shaft. This is quite new. The men have now got through the cross-cut, and the reef is looking splendid. The Caledo nian have lodged in the Bank this morning 1926 ounces from general stuff.

The Queen of Beauty have com pleted a splendid crushing, 33 tons yielding 12S ounces.

The Vale of Avoca have also had another good crushing. From 10 tons of stone put through the machine they have loriVH 01 ounces.

THE LATEST.

3 p.m. The tributers in the Inverness have taken out specimens this morning. It is not a new find.

(From to-day's Advertiser.)

The manager of the Eed White and Blue claim has sent a paddock of stone to the Manukau battery to be crushed, and it is ex pected that a commencement will be made on it to-day. The stuff is of a similar quality to that recently put through at the Tramway machine, and will no doubt yield quite as large an average of gold per ton.

The Caledonian.—There has been very little stone broken out during the last few days, as the mine required timbering and fixing up. There is, however, a fine show of gold on all hands, and as soon as mining again commences, it will turn out stone as rich as ever. An attempt will shortly be made to sink the main shaft, and this will doubtless be successful now that Tookey's pumps are again at work. Last evening the manager lodged a first deposit of gold towards the returns for the ensuing fortnight. The parcel weighed 1926 ounces, and was the result of some cleanings up from the late crushing and some of the amalgam from the general stuff since crushed. Good gold was yesterday found on the mid-level in driving from the bottom of Jfo. 2 shaft. It is part of the same run that was first found in sinking the winze from the Golden Crown side of the mine, but at this level the reef had become somewhat broken by a cross course. There are now 14 hundredweight of specimens on hand, but they are not quite so good as those crushed last week, although still very rioh, and it is expected that a splendid lot will be brought up this morning. The Inverness.—Specimen stone is still being taken out of the workings on this mine, and there is every prospsct of a continuance of the same.

The Kitkanui.—We are glad to learn that the Kuranui mine is still showing signs of increasing richness. The flue prospects which have recently been met with in the lower levels Btill continue, and the crushing is showing up much better than the usual average.

The City of London. — There were only 14 tons of stone crushed for the City of Lon don claim, at Ball's battery."(and the yield ob tained was 29 ozs. 2°dwts. 6 grs. melteci gold. Gold mom Cohomandei,. — The Lalk Rookh brought 50 ozs. of gold from Coro ruandel on Monday night, consisting of se veral small parcels, the results of various crushings. The gold was lodged in the Bank of New Zealand,

TWS WAICTM ta.—Crushing foi the Wai hmitkiuHb v again resumed at the Crite-

v . .itrjj, to which 30 tons have been sent a a commencement. A very considerable de ay took place in consequence of, the timbers n the main shaft having given "way, and no bing could be done towards breaking out juartz until the damage was repaired. .The manager has started a drive in an easterly di rection, for the purpoie of prospecting that jortion of the ground beyond the slide: '

The Berkeley Castie 'Tktbvte. — A crushing of 50 tons of stene, broken out by ■he tributers of the Berkeley Castle Company, will be commenced this week at Clarkson's battery, Wiseman's Gully.

HASTINGS (TAPU CREEK).

IMPORTANT GOLD DISCOVERY.

[FEO3I OTJE OWN COBBESPO^DENT.]

April 17. Foe some months past a party ofMolsaao's have been out prospecting, and with the ex ception of seeing them getting picks repaired at the blacksmith's occasionally, little was known of their whereabouts. Last week however it oozed out that they were on a hill about a mile and a-half from the Panama Route, and careful watching found them actively, though secretly, at work on a fine reef about two feet thick. Next morning, some forty or fifty men's ground was pegged off. About half a hundredweight of stone has been taken to Grab mstown, and it is expected to run from 15 dwts. to 20 dwts. to the pound. On Saturday, I saw two samples of stone from the Mclsaac's claim, which is called the Columbia. One is the ordi nary kind of leader, showing the gold freely, while the other is quite different from anything I have seen. Ihe stone is white, with a mixture of very light brown, and al though gold is invisible to the naked eye, the assistance of a magnifying glas3 shows the pre cious metal to be thickly distributed. Tapu is now developing iis recuperative properties, and as soon as the machines are again at work, I have no doubt but ihe yield of gold will be steadily on the increase. Meantime, there is a great scarcity of good miners, not one out of employment.—To-day s Advertiser.

EXTENSION OF THE TELE GRAPH.

Mb. HecxoeMcKenzie has, we learn, taken the contract for extending the telegraph line from Tauranga to Katikati, thus" '^nging the line of communication thirty milirs nearer to the Thami'.«. Mr. McKenzie start&d overland last ;evening, and if he is not stopped by the aukati line at Ohinemuri, we may expect the work to be commenced at once ; and, from the weL'-known energy of the con tractor, we may safely calculate in no time being lost. The whole of the land through which the extension is to run, belongs to the Government, so that no obstruction to the erection of the poles and stretching of the wires need be anticipated. It will be one stop towards the completion of the link of telegraph communication between the south ern provinces and the 1 Lames and Auckland. Of course any rurther extension must, in a great measure, depend on the temperament of the Ohineinuri natives, or the adoption of a determined line of conduct by the Govern ment. —To-day's Advertiser.

SHALE MARKET.

UNKNOWN.

We understand that a warrant for a new Lodge, to be called the Prince of Wales Lodge, has been received from the Grand Lodge of England, duly signed by the recently-elected Grand Master, the Earl De Grey and Ripon. The new Lodge will shortly be opened at the Masonic Hotel, in Princes-street. We have sincerely to congratulate the fraternity on the spread of their principles, as evidenced in this addition to their strength.

A new application for a licence for a house situated at the junction of Queen-street and Princes-street, to be called the Railway Ter minus Hotel. Mr. Shoehan appeared for John Lundon, the applicant, and stated that the house was in course of erection, and if the Bench would grant a certificate it would be conditional on the proper completion of the premises. \There was no opposition, and the Bench granted the application, adjourning the formal granting of the licence to the 21st June.—The Licence for the Howick Arms, Peter Brady, was\ JifspefhttcQTfill the 21st Jane, in consequeitcVSf % fepdrt fnm Con stable McOabe that the land lord was fre quently drunk, and the house left to the cure of young children, With regard to an appli-, cation from Richard Burke, holder of a licence for the Ferry Hotel, Panmurej Mr. Brookfield appeared to oppose, and

stated this wns informal and not according to tHe, terpis of the Act, inasmuch as the appli cation w.as really to transfer the licence'to a new house which was in course of erection at some distance.—Mr. Sheehan supported the application.—The Bench adjourned the con sideration of the issue of the transfer until the"S.'2lst June, whereupon Mr. Brookfield pointed out that by the new Licensing Act the Court could only adjourn from day to day. But the Bench held they had the power to adjourn to such time as they thought fit.—Constable Greene laid before the Bench a detailed report on each house. In one or two cases where the requirements of the Act in some respects had. not been, attended to, the applicants were informed that these mat ters must be at once provided.
