out. Mr Bunny's amendment, legalising marriage with a deceased husband's

brother, was next considered. Mr Bun- ; nys amendment, -which he proposed to add, was: "His or her deceased husband's wife's brother or sister," The amendmentwasnegatived on a division by 35 to 18. Mr Luckie attempted a shot at Mr Stafford who, he said, was ob structively impeding the Bill, and as the acknowledged leader of the Opposition was setting a bad example. Mr Swanson immediately got on his legs, and literally "sat on" Mr Luckie, who, he said, had better have sat down if he had not studied Parliamentary practice to better profit than he appeared to have done. Mr i Stafford was acting with perfect con- | sistency, as he had avowed his determina- j tion to resist the Bill to the utmost. Mr i^ggj^ord justified bis action, and referred w ue action in the House of Commons on th'e'Bjillot Bill. Mr White administered a j eastigation to Mr Luckie, who, he said, judging from his funereal tones, was thoroughly well qualified to act as a muto. j (Great laughter.) The House was still discussing the Bill when the St. Kilda left

DISTRICT COURT.

THIS DAT

[Before Thomas Bjeckhasi. Esq., District Court Judge.]

An adjourned sitting of this Court was held this morning, when the following cases, adjourned from last Monday, were disposed of : — fey v. donisokt. Mr James Russell, with Mr Brookfield. for the plaintiff; Mr Joy, with Mr J. B. Russeil, for defendant. This was a ease in which the plaintiff sued for £20, the value of four pigs shot by defendant, who found them iv his garden doing damage. The defendant was then brought up at the Police Court for shooting the pigx, and the case dismissed. The plaintiff now supd for £20, being the alleged value of the pigs. The evidence in the matter was heard at the last sitting of this Court, but the hearing of the counsels' addresses was adjourned until to-day. The question is, had the defendant under the " Garden Fences Act" a right to shoot the pigs ? If not, then what is the value of the pigs ? Plaintiff says £5 a piece; the defendant says 25s each. After hearing the addresses of counsel on both sides, which lasted over three hours, his Honor said he would reserve judgment until next Court day.

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY.

Before Captain Thomas and H. Isaacs, Esq., Justices of the Peace. DBUNKESTNESS AND THE EFFECTS OF DBINK.

A boy, Bixteen years of age, was fined five shillings and costs for getting drunk. Three men were similarly dealt with. They were, however, given the option of remaining in custody for a term of twenty four hours, and kept to hard labor, should they not feel disposed to submit to the money penalty. John Pepper, for being an habitual drunkard, was recommended by the Bench to take a sojourn at Mouat Eden for a period of three months. John Blackall, a seaman, was charged with being found by night without lawful excuse on the premises of H. Rowe, in Custom-house street.

The constable proved that the prisoner was drunk when he found him on the premises. He had seen him there a few nights previously loitering about. The accused urged that he belonged to the Exonia schooner, and was intoxicated at the time. He supposed he went into the shed to lie down.

The case was remanded Until to-morrow for enquiry. J. Couzens was charged on a warrant with having unlawfully and violently assaulting his wife Mary, by dragging her by the hair of her head out of his domicile into the street, and then chasing her with a carving-knife, whereby she fears bodily harm.

Tho assault complained of arose from the effects of drink. Mr Bennett appeared on behalf of the accused, and stated that he deeply regretted his violent conduct while under the influence of liquor, and would now, if discharged, make a settle ment on his wife and live apart from her in future. The wife was quite willing to withdraw the charge and consent to this arrangement if the Court would permit it. The case was withdrawn, ALLEGED FALSE FBETENCE.

Edward Dixon was charged, on remand, with obtaining goods to the value of ten shillings, and £2 10s in money, from Wil liam Farcy, on the 3rd inst, by false pretences. Mr W H Kissling defended, and pleaded not guilty. William Farcy deposed that he received a letter from the accused on the day in question requesting certain goods to be sent him, and enclosing a cheque for £5 on the Bank of Australasia, signed by him. The change wag to be returned, less £1 owing. The letter stated that he would call on. Monday to settle with prosecutor. The request was complied with, and pro secutor gave the prisoner's daughter goods to the value of 10s, and £30s change ; believing the cheque to be genuine. On presentation of the cheque on the following Monday it was returned by the Bank with a recommendation to put the matter in. hands of the police. Prosecutor did so, and obtained a warrant in the meantime. 18s had been paid on account, and £1 at the same time as the warrant was issued. ' '"*> Mr Kissling : Goods to amount of C'- "ffid 30g in cash were given, and had received £1 18s back. The remark at foot of prisoners letter "that he would call and settle on. Monday" witness considered to imply that he would call for the balance.

The prisoner's daughter was called to prove the receipt of the articles and money for her father. W. H. Churton, cashier, Bank of Australasia, proved returning tho cheque marked "no funds" on presentation. He also deposed that the prisoner formerly had an account at the Bank, but it was closed some time ago. Detective Jeffrey proved apprehending the prisoner on the present charge, when he said that he expected some money in the bank and asked the prosecutor not to

press the charge ; he also said he had paid some of the amount back.

Mr Ejsslmg addressed the Court, and urged that no evidence had been adduced that the defendant intended "to cheat and defraud," nor had it been proved that the cheque was signed by the accused. The prosecutor also, by receiving £1 18s on account, had treated the mattor as a civil one. There was only a difference of two shillings between the parties, and he urged that the case should be dismissed on the grounds alleged by him. The Court considered that a prima facie case had not been made out, and therefore decided to dismiss the case. The accused was then liberated. A BAD BEGINNING. A boy, twelve years of age, named Edward Smith, was accused of robbing the till of Mr F. Short, hairdresser, Queen street. The prosecutor had no wish to press the charge, and the lad was discharge, but with a severe caution. This concluded the business

DEATH OF MR PETER MORRIS.

We (the Wanganui Chronicle) regret having to announce the death of this well known frequenter of the port, which took place at his residence Victoria Avenue yesterday morning. Mr Morris, as mate of the Wanganui, was well known to persons having business with the vessel, and was universally respected by those who knew him. The deceased had been unwell for some months before his death, and unable to go to sea ; once or twice he rallied a little, and hopes were entertained as to his ultimate recovery, but a few days ago he had the misfortune to rupture a blood vessel, after which he gradually sunk and finally died as above stated. During Morris' career in JSTcw Zealand he occupied the following positions :—Second mate of the Government steamer Alexander, transport service, served under Captaiu Keddell on the Waikato; chief officer of the steamer Gundagai, master of the steamers Wood pecker, Favourite, and Go-ahead, and chief officer of the s s Wanganui. Deceased, who was a native of Dundee, and a mem ber of the Masonic bod}', leaves a wife and two children unprovided for.
