The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1871.

For three-quarters of an hour this morning proceedings at the Police Court were delayed by the want of a Justice of the Peace. Until a quarter to twelve, everyone was kept wait ing, until a magistrate could be found, when Mr. Wood, and, subsequently, Mr. George came to the rescue. We do not like to be too hard upon gentlemen holding Her Mnjestj's commission to dispense justice, but really the inconvenience to which the public is subjected at times is growing intolerable. Mr. Jervis and Dr. Home, the two gentlemen whose names appear on the rota for to-day, are usually punctual in their attendance, and from tho number of their engagements, must find it difficult to attend to theirpublicduties at times, but, really, gentlemen whose names appear on the rota, for the day, and who are sum moned, should, if unable to attend personally, arrange with brother magistrates for the occasion, and not needlessly cause so much inconvenience. It is greatly to be desired oliat magistrates see to this. Beyond a doubt a paid magistrate should be appointed for the

Auckland Police Court, but meantime the duties could be performed without undue pressure on the time of our local magistrates by an equal distribution of the duties, and a careful observance of the rota.

We trust that the games which have been proceeding in the Albert Barracks will not pass from public notice without originating a public movement towards the establishment of an Athletic Club, or some similar institu tion which will take charge of the continuance of the populai* feeling in favor of athletic exercises. The pecuniary success that iws attended the recent sports should be a gua rantee to such a club that the sinews of war would not be deficient, and irrespective of receipts at the gates, there cannot be a doubt that there would be a most general inclination to cheerfully sub scribe for prizes to be devoted to such a com mendable object. In practical results for good, it is needless to say that horse racing could not for a moment compare with such sports, and we trust that the subject will be promptly taken up and lead to practical results.

Messrs. Arthur and Son report that they have this day sold a first-class billiard table for Mr. Nicol, of the Exchange Hotel, for £40, in order to enable Mr. Nicol to comply v.-ith the terms of the new Licensing Act of 1870.

Creditors in the estate of Alfred Eustace are requested to prove their claims before the 25th instant. Creditors in the estate of Edward Marsh Williams are requested to prove their oloims by the same date.

Tenders are required by the General Government for the supply of coal and fire wood.

Tenders are required by the Parnell High way Board for the construction of the Brighton Bridge.

A soiree will take place at the Fanmure Hall on Thursday next.

ATHLETIC SPORTS

The feats of »edestiianism were brought to a close yesterday afternoon, at the Albert Barracks. After the races enume rated by us in our yesterday's issue, the next race was the One Mile Handicap Bicycle Kace, which caused great interest, and resulted in the following order of competitors : —Clarke, Fletcher, Hender son. The 100 yards race between Harris and Hewitt was again run, which, it is said, resulted in Harris winning by three inch.es ; but so close was the strug gle that the result is still a moot point with the bystanders. The next race was 150 yards flat race, for boys under 15 years, and resulted in—Park l<t. Brassey 2nd, botli having got a start of 13 yards. The second heat resulted a? follows :—Balncavis, Phillips, Wynn. The four mile walking match resulted in — Kdvvurdes, 1 ; Spence, 2. The final heat of the boys 150 yards race resulted ia the following order—Ealneavis, Peak, Brassey, Phillips. In the 440 yards han dicap hurdle race, the result was — Harris, Manning, Ellis. TUe last was the " Occidental Prize," race for a silver watch and chain presented by Mr. Perkins, of the Occidental Hotel. This was run in three heats. In the first the order was Bloomfield, Wynn ; in the second, Peak, Shepherd ; and'in the third, Shepherd, Peak. This was the last race of the Athletic Sport?, the conduct of which reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Killsden, and the committee charged with the inanHgement. The games hare been an unqualified success from beginning to

end

DISTRICT COURT.—Wednesday.

[\Befove Thomas Beekham, Esq., District Judge.] The usual bi-monthly sitting of the Court was held this morning, and the following business disposed of:— Cases Adjourned. — Jones v. Evskine, Superintendent v. Jones. Howitt v. Loonie. — His Honor in this case gave judgment for the plaintiff for £23 Is. 6d, les3 £1 10s. 6d., and costs' £5 Us. Bttcklaitd v. Hatykes.—Claim £33. This was an action to recover £28, with, interest at 8 per ccnt.j amounting in all to £33. The debfc was formally proved by the plaintiff, and judgment given accordingly.

Edmund Foiey v. • Jonathan Beowx.— Claim, £50. Mr. Wynn for the plaintiff; Mr. He3keth for the defendant. This was an action to recover damages for the alleged con rersion to his own use of a certain number of head of cattle, the property of the plaintiff. —The answer to the action was that the cattle inferred to were not the property of the plain tiff. The plaintiff is an innkeeper at Otahuhu, and a farmer at Tauranga. He deposed that he bought the cattle in dispute, aud sent them to Tauranga.—ln cross-examination, he said he had a brother named Denis Foley, who was in the Lunatic Asylum. The catl-le did not belong to him. —There was a good deal of cross-examination touching a paper, which it was suggested that the plaintiff had taken from Denis Foley's wife—a paper relating to property in these cattle, or to money which it was suggested belonged to Denis Foley, and with which the cattle might have been bought. Both the plaintiff and his father, Edmund Folcy, sen., denied these suggestions in the most i ortive manner.—Jonathan Brown, the defendani, a settler at Tauranga, said he was not in possession of these cattle ; that he never took the cattle, or in any way convert: 1'. 1, them to his own use. It appeared that Ihe whole dispute arose out of family matters, aud the way he became connected with it was by lending Mrs. Denis Foley £10 to come to Auckland. He remembered Ed mund Foley prosecuting two men for cattle stealing. The defendant did not know any thing of the affairs of the plaintiff. He re ceived the money he lent Mrs. Denis Foley through the sale of two of the cattle. —Mr. Hesketh handed in a paper, in which it was stated that tho cattle were bought by the plaintiff for Denis Foley, and therefore urged the plea that the cattle were not the property of the plain tiff. —Mrs. Denis Foley deposed to the fact of the loan from the defendant, and identified the paper produced. — Ilis Honor intimated during tho proceedings that it was to be re gretted the case had not been settled out of Court.— Learned counsel having addressed the Court, His Honor said the question mainly turned upon the ownership of the cattle. He would take time before giving judgment, in order to compare the evidence and dates. He would, therefore, give judg ment next Court-day.

On the 24th of March the prisoner called at his house for a night'a lodging. Allowed him to stop. Next morning went out for the cows, leaving the prisoner alone in the house. On returning in about un hour, found prisoner gone. Missed the watch, chain, seal, and ring now pro duced.

Let prisoner go, and on returning home found several of the articles missiug, viz., six silver teaspoons, six silver forks, two white shirts ; the total value about £17 or £18.

ASSAULT ON MR. T. BARNETT.

Mb. T. Barnetfc appeared before the Thames Police Court on Monday, in order to make a statement with reference to an assault com mitted upon him. He said that on Friday night, about ten o'clock, two natives came into hi 3 dining-room and had some food supplied to them. They would not pay for what they had, and when ho asked them one fellow rushed past him into the street. He followed him, when he was seized by the Maori, who threw himself clown and fell with all his weight upon him. The Maoris then got away. He (Mr. Burnett) Mr. Towers, and two police men went in search of the Maori to t'-ie boat shed near the Shortland landing-place, which is quite a hot-bed of them. Tiiey were llauhaus. They could not find them, as there was a cock-loft crowded with natives. They were informed by Mr. Burt, the boatman, who spoke Maori, that the men were there. They then came to inform Mr. Bullen, who got up and having collected several constables, after some delay, they went across to the boat shed. Mr. Bullen eaid that he did not feel himself justified in going in to get out the men. They were there at the time, but he learned that hearing the noise, they had all gone away. There were some Europeans there, who when Mr. Bullen stated that he did not feel justified. in attempting to make the arrest, said they would buck him up. Mr. Bullen replied that it wa3 all very well to speak of backing up, but who would be responsible if any of the natives got injured. He (Mr. Barnett) did not fancy such a speech. He had attended that day to aik the advice of the Benih upon the subject.—His Worship asked if Mr. Barnett cou'd indentify the men. Did he know their names?—Mr. Barnett said he could indentify the men, and he believed that Mr. Puckey knew their names. —His Worship said he would not rashly give advice in the mutter, as he knew there was a certain amount of difficulty attached to arrest ing these natives. If Mr. Barnett could indentify the natives, the best way would be to lay information against, them, and have them apprehended as soon as possible. He would recommend him also to take the advice of Mr. Fraser the Resident Magistrate, the next time he sat on the Bench.—Sergeant McCafferty said he was on duty in Grahams town at the time of the assault. He thought, however, that, in the absence of Mr. Bullen on duty at Coromandol, Mr. Bennett might have waited till next day before he made his statement, when Mr. Bullen would have been present.—His Warship said that in the mean time an information might be lodged, and the men would be arrested as soon as the police could do it.— Advertiser.

An exchange says :—Girls, don't talk slung- If it is necessary that any one in the family should do that, let your big brother, though I would advise him not to talk " Pigeon English" when there is an elegant systematized lan guage that he can just as well use, but don't you do it. You have no idea how it sounds to ears unused or averse to it, to hear a young lady when she is asked io attend some place of amusement, answer—" Not much ;" or if l-equested to do something she does not wish to —" Can't see it!" Not long ago I heard a Miss, who is educated and accomplished, say in speaking of a young man, that she intended to "go for him !" and when her sister asked her assistance at some work, she answered, "Not for Joe!" Now, young ladies of imex ceptional character and really good education, fall into this habit, thinking it shows smart ness to answer back in slang phrases; and they soon slip flippantly from the tongue with a saucy pertinence that is not lady-like or becoming. Young men who talk in that way do not care to hear it from the lips they love or admire. It sounds much coarser then. And really, slang does not save time in use of language, as an abbreviation. No! is shorter and more decided than "Not much." And I am quite sure, Yes ! is quite as easy said as " I'll bet." More than one promising wed ding has been indefinitely postponed by such means ; for however remiss young men may be themselves, they look for a better thing in the girls of their choice, and it does not help them to mend a bad habit to adopt it too.

The Hidden Treasure case came on to-day; one party suing another for removing pegs. The case has been postponed, as there is a probability of a satisfactory settlement being made.

The specimen-stealing case has been postponed in order to allow the prisoner an opportunity of obtaining counsel.

The Caledonian brought up another large parcel of specimens this morning, between 500 and GOO lbs.

Tookey's pumps are to be started at once. Ten tons of stone from this miue crushed for the tributers, yielded 14< ounces gold.

The Belfast crushing of 73 tons gave 45 ounces.

The Inverness took out some mag nificent specimens last night, —one stone is solid gold.

INQUEST AT NGARUAWAHIA.

In my last; I informed you of the death and interment of John O. Kelly, whose ceath was caused by an accident at the Ngaruawahia flax mill. The next day, fo our great surprise, a jury was summoned by Dr. Beale, coroner, to hold an inquiry into the cause of death. The jury, after viewing the body (which of course had been exhumed), proceeded to hear the evidence. Several witnesses were ex amined, but none of them saw the accident. One of the witnesses said he went to bed about nine o'clock on the night of the accident. Deceased had slept in the same room for some time. About eleven o'clock be was awoke by a noise, aud asked w! :' was the matter. Kelly replied that ho ~..1 fallen from his bunk whilst reach lag for his blankets, he had fallen across the" table and had hurt himself. He complained of pain in the bladder.—Mr. Pai-k, manager, stated he saw Kelly next morning ; he said he was in great pain. Immediately sent for a doctor, asked deceased how the accident occurred. He replied that he had fallen across the table. Asked deceased if any other person was to blame. He replied, " None whatever; if any blame is to be attached to any one it is to myself. — The jury then requested to hear the evidence of the doctor, but through some neglect he was not aware that the enquiry was being made The inquest was then adjourned tH next day, the *7th. Accordingly on that date the inquiry was resumed. Dr. Jones being in attendance, stated he had been sent for and found deceased had received a serious injury in the lower part of the abdomen ; he could not pass water; applied the usual I remedies in such cases; attended him up till the time of death, which occurred between one and two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon; death was caused by rupture of the bladder. Verdict accordingly.—[Correspondent.]
