POLICE COURT

The following ia the rota for attendance of Magistrates at the Police Court for the week ending Saturday, February 11, 1871: — Friday, February 10 :G. M. Mitford and H.

Morrow. Saturday, February 11: Messrs. D. Morpeth and C H. Otway.

The Evening Star. THURSDAY, FEB RUARY 9, 1871.

A. queer decision was arrived at in the Police Court to-day. It is briefly told. A man was charged with " forging and uttering " a cheque for £7 12s 6d. He admitted that he had forged it, and it was proved distinctly that he had uttered it, and the case was dismissed. There is nothing better than caution. Civil liberty is a precious thing; and all doubt should benefit the accused. But here there could be no doubt. The man had come to a store in Queen-street, bought goods, paid for them with the worthless cheque, received change, pawned the goods and then got drunk on the proceeds. The cheque was presented at the Bank, where the name was unknown ; the man was arrested, and admitted that lie had writ ten the cheque, and signed it himself, and that lie was a fool for doing so. Perhaps it would be difficult for jurists to say what further could be added to make evidence more damning. And yet he was not guilty :so said the Bench. It is true the document was a most unlikely looking thing. It had figures instead of words, representing the amount, and the sig nature was execrable. By the private regulations of the Bank difficulties might have been thrown in the way of such a cheque, even had it borne an authentic signature, and been otherwise en regie. But the H&nkidwrst not refuse payment, and however censurable the procedure of the business man in accepting such a document, this Bank bye-law in no way modified the enormity of the offence as against law and order. We really cannot now understand in what " forging and uttering " consist.

An emergency meeting of Lodge United Service will be held at the Lodge room, Masonic Hotel, to-morrow evening. We observe that the s. s. Oro-Ahead will leave for the Bay of Islands on. Wednesday next. We. observe that the annual meeting of the members of the Mechanics" Institute will be held on thi* day fortnight, when it is hoped t.liat some effort will be made to bring that inst'f ution more en rapport with the progress and feelings of the age, and the requirements of this city. The annual meeting of the members of the Mechanics 1 Institute will be held on Thursday evening, the 23rd instant. Notice is given elsewhere of the dates of firing for the district prizes of the Auckland Volunteers. A meeting of the members of the Auckland battalion Rifle Volunteers will be held this evening, after the parade. We have partaken of some of the brandy now being produced at Mr. Cawkwell's new distillery in Mechanics' Bay. The sample is really an excellent article, and at the price at which, from the remission of excise, Mr. Cawkwellis able to dispose of it, we do not hesitate to express the belief that it will very soon supplant the unwholesome rubbish and poisonous decoctions that are considered good enough to send out to " only colonists." In Mr. Cawkwell's product we have at least purity. Men wishing to drink know that they are drinking what the article profes=e3 to be, and no' some unknown deleterious compounds such as those which have filled our Lunatic Asylums. And so long as stimulants are used by any portion of the community, the most extreme teetotaller cannot but wish that all the trade in intoxi cants may fall to the lot of our enterprising fellow-townsman. As the cost is less than half that of imported brandy, and only a little want of age is the only feature that can be objected to by connoisseurs, we have no doubt that not only a proper desire to foster local enterprise, but the more potent consi deration of £ s. d., will causs a large amount of encouragement to Jbe given to the Crown Distillery at Official Bay.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL CITY WEST.

At the Hall of the Young Men's Chris tian Association, this afternoon, at two o'clock, the result for the late election for the representation of City West was publicly declared. The numbers were the same as those already pub lished by us. Mr. Gillies very briefly returned thanks and drew attention to the quietness that had at tended the election as a triumph of the ballot. Mr. Williamson exhibited some what of bad taste in opening up old sores, and complaining that the Superintendent should have gone somewhere else for elec tion. Mr. Dignan, in returning thanks to the 200 who had voted for him, stated that he was pleased at the result of the election, and that the constituency would not have done its duty had it not re turned the Superintendent. There was, among those assembled, a general feeling that Mr. Dignan had done himself honor in the generous manner in which he spoke of his victorious competitor. The usual thanks were voted to the Returning Officer, and the meeting, which was not a large one, dispersed.

A cbicket match between the Peripatetics and Strangers was commenced in the Albert Barracks this morning. Wickets were pitched at 11 o'clock, and the Peri patetics having won the toss, went first to the wickets. At the time of our going to press they were doing well, and there appeared to be vei'y little chance of the Strangers getting an innings to-day. From the following score it will be seen that Messrs.

Theeatee^iXG Language.—W. R. Dixon was charged by his wife witli using threaten ing language. Mrs. Dixon did not wish to press the charge as her husband hud pro mised to refrain from drink.—Case dismissed. Luxact.—A man was brought before the Bench as a lunatic. On the desire of the man's friends and their promises to take care of him, the Inspector withdrew the charge. Fobgixg and Utteking.—W. Walls was charged by Cooinbcs and Johnston witli utter ing a forged cheque on the Bunk of New Zealand, purporting to having been drawn by E. J. Wilson. S. Coombes deposed that on the GLli inst.. prisoner bought certain goods at his store, and tendered in payment the cheque produced, purporting to be for £7 12s 6" 1. The bill for the clothes was £6 7s 6d, and he gave prisoner the change. Prisoner said lie had received the cheque in wages from the purser of the Clio, lie endorsed the cheque E, J. Wilson, and on my remarking the signature lie said the names were the same. On' presenting the cheque at the bank, found that the " name was unknown," Had dealings with prisoner before. Jfe was slightly under the influence of drink at the time he presented the cheque. The articles produced are those sold him. To (lie Bench :—Have never known a cheque having the amount in figures in the body of it paid at the bank.— John Davis deposed : I am ledger keeper at the Bank of New Zealand. No person bearing the name on the cheque produced has an account at the Bank. The cheque (having figures instead of words written in the body of it) is irregularly drawn. Would not have been paid had the signature been genuine.— B. Marks, pawnbroker, deposed : Shortly after four o'clock on the 6th instant, prisoner pawned the articles produced. I advanced 36s on them. He said his name was Watts, of Shortland, and that he was scene shifter at the theatre. Ho seemed sober.—Detective Ternahau deposed to having arrested, the prisoner on the 7th instant for drunkenness. On the morning of the Bth I informed him of the present charge. He admitted having written the cheque out himself, and said he must have been mad. Prisoner was cook to the Commodore on board the Clio. The Bench held that the ease was not made out as one of forging and uttering, that there had been carelesness in accepting such a document as the irregular cheque in question, and dis missed the case.

Assault.—John Cox was charged by Charles King with having assaulted him. —Mr. Wynn for the complainant, Mr. Jas. Russell for the de fence.—Charles King, deposed : On last Sal ur day I met defendant in Albert-street. Had not spoken to defendant for eight months.

Had formerly told the young lady then walking with de fendant thab he wanted to speak to her privately.—James O'Neill, deposed : I was coming down the street when I saw defendant lay hold of complainant and strike him. Complainant told me to go for a policeman and he would give me a shilling. Defentant said he would give me half-a-crown if I did not. —Cross-examined by Mr. Russell.—For the defence, Eleanor Cowell Renwick, deposed to having been walking in company with de fendant on the occasion. Both had been her admirers. She called out to King what he wanted to say to her. Cox said he need not be afraid to say what he had to say. King said ho would not, and would call a police man. Cox caught him by the arm to persuade him to not do so. Is quite certain that defen dant did not strike complainant, but only caught him by the arm.—James Waite deposed : Saw Cox have hold of King by the arm; he was not striking him.—Fined 10s and costs.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.

SIE, —At the Rifle Volunteer meetiug, last evening, Captain Balger made a statement relative to the band, which, I believe, de mands a prompt refutation ; and as it was the policy of the chairman last evening to prevent any discussion about the relation of the band to the battalion, thereby preventing the bandsmen from having an ample opportunity of completely refuting the allegations of Captainßatger, it behoves some one, on be half of the band, to give the battalion a true statement of the state of affairs.

It has been for some time the policy of certa'n grandees of the battalion to lead the men to believe that the band is an intract able body ; that it has failed to perform its duty towards the battalion, and that it has not reciprocated the interest which the battalion has ever mani fested on its behi-lf. Captain Batger, as the mouthpiece of that party, last ni^ht made a statement to that effect, only "that he did not use the word " intractable ;" and Captain Clark, an officer who deserves the respect and admiration of every member of the corps, and from whom I regretted to hear the remark, said that as the band had refused to pay the yearly subscrip tion of 6s. per man, it was time for officers to button up their pockets. Now, sir, I will briefly state what the band, as a body, has done for itself, also what the board of officers have done for it, and it is for the battalion to fairly judge whether the pockets of the officers have ever been open to meet the current wants of the baud.

During the last ten months the baud has been compelled from non-assistance from the battalion to procure at its own costs the re paration of instruments when necessary, to provide music, music paper, a weekly sti pend of 10s for the bandmaster, and the necessary furniture for the baudrooin. Until lately it provided all the caudles on practice nights, and owing to the want of sufficient musical instruments, an amount, over £30, was expended in procuring a few cornets. Our bandmaster now plays on a borrowed in strument, kindly lent him by Mr. Stevenson. Last month, owing to a resolution passed" by bho band not to pay any longer for light, paper, and the reparation of instruments, it extorted from the Band President (?) a few small books for "quicksteps " and a promise that the band shall no longer pay for the re paration of instruments. Notwithstanding this, the band has still been com pelled to provide many of its wants, and when we consider the great liability which the battalion has incurred for adver tising, there is little hope that the band shall be speedily relieved from expending more. I speak in conformity with facts, when I state that for the la&t six months the band has not cost the battalion one-twentieth part of the amount which it has itself expended to main tain its existence.

On the other hand, what has the battalion done for the band, that Captain Batger should accuse it of ingratitude ? Bandmaster McComish is supposed to get £25 annum. For this paltry pittance he is expected to in struct, find music, and arrange for 32 bands men ; and in addition to this be ready to at tend parades whenever required by the batta lion to do so. It, maj7 not be believed when I state—and I do so unwillingly—that on ac count of the above pittance the'sum of £26 is now due to Mr. McComish—more than one year's salary. And as a further proof of the supineness of the battalion towards the band, not the least energy was manifested to endea vour to realise even so small a sum of £5 for Mr. McComish in his late misfortune, when an amount five times as great, was rightly due to him by them. All that was done by the officers was that they consented to be advertised as patronizers of the Moonlight Concert. The baud alone acted generously on the occasion, and even before a moonlight conceit was agreed upon, it had by prompt energy contributed £10 to aid Mr. McComish in his embarrassment. These are facts which form merely the in dex of other circumstances which the'battalion have not considered, and which a few officers would willingly keep from their knowledge. The band is willing to act in unison with the battalion, but will surely kick against any fur ther taxation or imposition being laid on it by the board of officers. A Bandman, Sans Culotte.

A DETINKEN WAGEB. The following instance of frantic or drunken gambling appeared in the Times of April V 7 1812, and therefore it must be accented aa «„ established fact; but I think no novelist of the present day would dare to invent such a corresponding fiction, unless he were comrril ing the works of a Baron Munchausen :—" Q' Wednesday evening an extraordinary investi" gntion took place at Bow-street.. Croker th" officei-, was passing the Hampstead-road' l/ observed at a short distance before him two men on a wall, and directly after saw the tallest of them, a stout man about six feet high, haa». ing by his neck from a lamp-post attached to the wall, being that instant tied up and turned off by the short man. This unexpected and extraordinary sight astonished the officer H made up to the spot with all speed, and just after he arrived there, the tall man who had been hanged fell to the ground, the handker chief with which he had been suspended had. given way. Croker prod uced his staff, said he was an officer, and demanded to know from other man the cause of such conduct. In the meantime the man who had been hauged re covered, got up, and on Croker interfering gave him a violent blow on the nose which nearly knocked him backward. The other man was endeavouring to make off. However the officer procured assistance, and both were brought to the office, when the account they gave was, that they worked on canals. They had been together on "Wednesday afternoon, tossed up for money, and afterwards for their clothes. The tall man who was hanged w«n the other's jacket, trousers, and shoes. They then tossed up which should hang the other, and the short one won the toss. They got upon the wall, the one to submit, and the other to hang him on the lamp-iron. They both agreed in this statement. They tall one who had been hanged said, if he won the toss he would have hanged the other. He said he then felt the effects on his neck at the time he was hanging, and his eyes were so much swelled that he saw double. The magistrates expressed their horror and disgust, and ordered the man who had been hanged to find bail for the violent and unjustifiable assault upon the officer, and the short one for hanging the other. Not having bail, they were com mitted to Bridewell for trial."
