speare Hotel, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act,!, by supplying alcoholic liquor to one Dominick, the same not being on Sunday last a bona fide traveller. i Mrßeveridge defended, and urged in miti gation that the liquor supplied was "sandi gaft," consisting of a large quantity of gin gerbeer and small quantum of ale. He said that the defendant had only recently gone into the trade, and was unacquainted with the intricacies of the Licensing Act. His Worship pointed out the clause par ticularly relating to "sandigaft," as he was pleased to pronounce it.. He fined thp defendant 10s and costs.

This was all the business.

The grain exported from New Zea land in 1871, he said, amounted to £179,460, and out of that sum the province of Canter bury exported grain to the amount of £130,804.

WATER.

(To the Editor of the Evenino Stab.) Sir, —In your report of the proceedings at the Provincial Council on 20th inst. I noticed particularly some remarks made by Mr Cad man relative to the late fire. "Mr Cadman thought the mischief done at the late fire was not all owing to a want of water, but partly the hose, which owing to their leaky condition could not carry a sufficiency of water." We know that Mr Cadman spoke, without a grain of experience connected wiffc the water power required, the slight leakage in hose being of small moment. I trust that Mr Cadman will read very carefully the local in your paper of this evening, relative to experiments made with fire hose this day, and whether such results are soothing to the minds of ijbose compelled to occupy apart ments o_«_»^*r i^ond or third floor of a build ing. HadsHFoddmen been possessed of a sensible mind he would have suggested a resolution to be framed out of Mr Philips' remarks. But Mr Cadmanforsomeunaccount-"' able reason thinks otherwise, and therefore i throws dirty water on a sensible question that affects the well-being (viz., protection, fire and health) to almost every person in the town of Auckland. With reference to the force of water at present available,' I.challenge either of the Auckland Brigades (with new hose) to throw a jet over the Post-office wall." Whilst this delectable state of affairs exists . we have councillors and men; in authority ' who burke the remedy and the most impor tant question of the ; day. Poor Auckland ! much longer will it remain the laugh ing - stock for Southerners unless such limited ideas for the public weal are re proved and removed for something broader,'• less of the selfish, and a tinge of common; sympathy must reign. I think, after perusal of the locals and letters that appear ih r your issues of the 20th and 22nd; evfery citizen will be informed that if "our supply of water from all available sources wereconcen-; trated it would be insufficient to stay the progress of » fire similar to that of last Mon-;

day. If the authorities want a pattern of requirements, both'in wafei-'supply and fire brigades, let a commission be appointed to visit the existing arrangements at Dunedin —there is not the slightest necessity to refer to those of Melbourne. Not only does a scarcity of water effect our safety in case of fire, but I am informed by several medical men that hundreds of persons in Auckland (especially women and children) are suffering from the effects of using the filthy liquid drawn from wells and) stagnant water beds in and around Auckland. I know that a few favoured individuals who have means to pro cure a filter, &c, and who do not take much water unless diluted with alcohol, &c, do not feel disposed to agitate for the community ; but as preservation of health is quite as essential as that of property, I would suggest tha,t before any decision for water works is arrived at a commission of medical men be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining by analysis the most suitable locality for works. 4-1 am, &c, Cosmopolite.

FIRE BRIGADE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir,—Allow me to express my thanks to you for the information you have furnished tlie public respecting the guiding principles of the Fire Brigade. Mr G. P. Pierces answer to your question has opened the eyes of many, and that gentleman's statement is neither creditable to thf city nor to himself. "When we compare the lire organizations of other colonies the comparison is not favour able for Auckland, and its selfishness is offensively j displayed to other colonials residing in our midst. I do hope this failing will be effaced. A true man will have some regard for his neigh bour, and .the loss of orir Post-office is a public calamity. May I suggest that the time has surely arrived when the estab lishment of a numerous, and conse quently more effective Fire Brigade might be- formed",' '■ 'and' a public 'meeting for that purpose would prove whether or no there was any patriotic feeling" in Auckland. In the event of such meeting being called perhaps a number of members might come forward consisting of those householder^ who have not insured. There were many hun dreds would have assisted at the late fire if they had been organised. Then our worthy Superintendent (I mean the gentleman with the tin helmet and brass epaulets) would not be like

General Bombastes,' whose resistless force Alone exceeds by far a brewer's horse"- Have done" greater service at the head of a more numerous army.:—l am,.&c, .Aquarius.

The City Eire Inspector, Mr Asher, on behalf of his brigade, begs to acknowledge with thanks Messrs E. and H. Isaacs' dona tion of £7 7s. Mr B. Short has been lecturing a Oamaru, Otago, for the. Australian-. Mutual Provident Society, during the present month arid has received within a few days proposals for insurance to an aggregate amount of, £20,000.
