GILES' TRIP TO LONDON.

CHAPTER V.

A FARM LABOURER'S FIRST PEEP AT THE WORLD.

(Continued.) GILES LEABNS WHEEE ' GtTDB OYSTERS' COME FEOSI ; HIS PIEST GLIMPSE OF LONDON ; FOB SPECIAL EEASONS HB BASHLY CONCLUDES *TIS 'HOE':!!! BtJT A HELL OK AAETH.' •fa, -^ if. "Tij, we weant on at wot they said was a y rattling paace for the Eastern Counties x little over half an hour, with only two threo etoppages, wan we come to a rayther jgish town that fared to stand on a hill, and to be a gudish way off the station. ' Wot town be that ?' I ses to a man sittin* opposite me in the carriage. ' That, my man,' he ses, 'is the town that used to be celebrated for three things—bad pavements, ugly women, "and gude oysters ; but these be stirring times; and every thing be altered.' 'Be the paaveruents gude now ?' I ses., ' Yes,' he ses, ' gude as any town in these paarts, and a great deal better than in that big city sixty miles lower down, where they paave the straats wi' wot they call patrified kidneys.' ' And how abont the women and the oysters ?' 1 ses a larfin. 'Why,' he ses, 'the women be lovely crsturs, and the oysters be all wanished and gone.' 'Is it celebrated ior any thing at all now ?' I ses.

' Yes,' he ses, ' there be more idiots in it than in any town o' the size in these paarts, and they are all put into that fine building there,' he ses, a pintin' to wot luked liked a squire'a hall. ' Anything else ?' I asks. 'Yes,' he ses, ' one big straat, broken down charches, and a camp o' sogera;' ■ : ; ' Why,' I ses, ' yow saam to know all about it. Is thero anything else yow'd like to mention ?'

' Yes,' he ses, ' there's a owd ancient castle there sech as yow doant see in a day's march. If yow ever find yerself in that there town yowd better go and see it. There's a museum inside on it, kept by one o' the moast civilest chapa as ever was, and there's plenty o' rum owd things in it. Why,' he ses, I 'a walked on the too o' the walls o' that quaar owd plaace, and if yow ever go yow'll find my naame among thousands o' others wrote "up in a miserable owd rume on the top on it.'

'Thaak'ee" I ses, and off we was agin. We kept a-rusiiin on paast fields of whaat and barley, and sometimes paast big fields o' norn but flowers. They be rum faarmers in them paarts, and they must be awful ri<?h, for in whole fields they grow nothing else but pretty flowers instead o' hay and corn, fiut wot stammed me as much as anything wer that nearly every place we stopped at was sailed "Ford." Wan we come to a stand still the man runnect along the platform calling out ' Ford-ford !' as loud as he could bawl. Wan we got to the last " ford," a man ses tome 'We're narring town,' he ses, ' ye'd better taake a lunar.'

' Wot's that ?' I ses,

'Why,' he aos, 'hike about ye' Well, I ;did luke about me, and it was norn but housen, chimneys, and staaples— staaplea, chinnlayß, and housen—-whereeyer, yow hiked, and so on for mile upo' mile. ' Why' I ses, ' we're in Lunnen, and if they doant sune stop we shall be throw it all.' 'Throw it all,' the man ses, 'why yow might go hour artor hour at this rate, and never git t.hrow Lunnen. We aant at the beginnin1 on it yit.' And so we weant on, and the housen and the chimneys and the stables kept a gittin' thicker and thicker and began to fare kinder stammed and 'wildered wan the train stopped, and out we all got. Then there wan such a ■crowging and pushing, and I tiiowt half the paaple saanied mad. Presently I gits ont, and there was hundreds o' wot they call cabs and omnibuses and paaple o' all sorts. I 'membered that Sairey said she wouldn't be able to maat me at Kensington till five o'clock, and 'twas how now only one. and I thow't I'd luke about a lif.t'e and by-and-by git some body to see in the letter where I was to go tv to git there. Sol managed to get atwaan the cabs till I got down to the 9traab, and was jest a goin' throw the gate wan I started back wi' fright and 'mazement. All Lunnen saamed to be gathered together^ and to be rushing paast as faast as ever they could. I was wholly scared like. Arter a minute or tew, I ses to myself, "There must be a percession goin' paast, like the Oddfellows and Foresters wot go about the willage once a year; I'll wait till they're all gone by.' ... I waited about ten minutes, and I could see no end on 'em, but they saamed to be gifctin' more and more, and to be hurrying on faaster and faaster —cabs and omnibuses, and men and women and children was all alike. . :

'Sure-7^,'l ses, 'taint the Prboshans that are come, and these people are trying to get away from 'em.' Once or twice I tried to make a start, but I felt so soared at tbe crowds that I drew back agin.

Arter I had been standiu' here naarly half-, a-our a little boy comes up, and he s?^; 1 G-oin' to stand 'ere all day, guv'ner V . ' : . 'No,' I ses, 'my little man ; I want to be agoin'; bub I'm waitin' till all these paaple be paast.' The little boy bursts out a-larfiV, and he ses, ' Vow be precious green, guv'ner,' he ses ; 'where dv yow want togotu? Yow'd hey to wait till midnight afore they'd be all gone. I can show ye where ye want to go tv, 1 he ses, ' if ye like.' - ; 1 Well/ I sea, ' can ye raad ?' 'Can the 'potamus at ihe Zoo swaller a half-quartern loaf and make nothing of it ?" he ses. >'-<•>: ■

. f 'l£vow can raad then,' T ses, ' raad that, JOt'll see where I want to go tu.' I give //Kjp) letter, and this is esactly wot the letter said :— ' ■. .. .

Wan we got over, I ses, ' Thank Heaven, we are saafe<" ' Saafe,' he ses, ' i where did cc ; wegetate, greeny? Doant'ee kaap hosses down ia Nor folk ?

1 Then ye're no use 'ere;' he seß. 'By sugar,' he sea, ' t maan cash, greeny,' and tile boy slapped his breeches pocket jest like a man.

' Oh,' I ees, ' You maan that, dv you ? My maaster told me all about that, and I had a { pocket sewed inside my weskit afore I corned • away, and I stowed it saafe there afore I got o' the train,' I ses, a slapping my left breast I where the money was. j 'All right,'he ses, 'ye're not ao jolly green las I thowt ye. But ye'd better wet yer I wissle,' he ses, 'and I could lake a drop o' cuper myself. IU show ye a " pub" close by. But as ye're afnard o' the paaple I'll take ye i by the quiet ways,' ho ses, ' and we'll bo there I in no time.

I wetted my wissle, as he called it, and ho had his "cuper," and he sea,- ' Wait je9t tew minits, and I'll be here agin,' and he bolts out. He wern't gone rnore'n five minutes whon he. ■was back. ' Come on,' he ses,' put your best leg foremost.' Then he led me through a lot o' narrer laanes, where there "Was scorer of half naaked children, and hungry lukiug women, and savage men, and dirty shops with a few apples and taters in em, and housen wi' broken winders and no chairs, and inisable looking birds in riketly cages, and starved cats, and snaakin dawgs, and horrible smells. ' Be this Lunnen,' I sea ; 'if I'd known 'twas like this, I'd never come anigo it,' I aes. We weant on in this way for about a quarter-of»a hour, and -then we cauae into some broad straats, where there wor cabs, and hosaes, and men, and all mander o' things. ' Now then,' he ses, 'my werdent acquaintance, here we are; and you've on'y to go in there and git yer ticket, and ye'ro all right-.' :-: ■ 'Ihank'ee,' I ses, ' and there's your bob as you call it, and yea well arnt it.' 'Gude afternoon,' he ses, and gude luck, and off he bolted *

Wan I weant on lo the platform I asks the man, if Jtwar right for Mensington High Straat, and lie towd me 'twas any to jump in quick, As soon ns ever I got in, three gentlemen and a handsome young woman comes in and abets the door. She sets down right opposite me, and she lukes at nic a moment, and she boards up both her hands, and she ses, cLor' 'tis Giles! who'd a thowd o' seeing o' yow,, she ses, 'in Lunnen of all plaaces i' the warldP' and she ketches ahowd.o* my hand* and shakes 'em as if she was my own sister* I'm naation glad to see yer,' she ses, just as I say it to yow. I ses, ' This G-iles sure enough, bat.l never seed yow afore, that I know 6n<' ■• • ■■'■ ' Well,' she sea,' that's a gude 'un. f Doant yer know Sairey lippens, at Eensinton ?' she oesj 'she and me be owd cronies, she sob, 'and she a' bin a takin'on the laast day or tew 'cos her missus oant let her come to ( maat ye till five o'clock.' ; 'I aant the least recollection on ye/I-aes, 1 thow o* course -wot yow say is right, 'specially about Sairey.' -■->-- ■■ ■■■-••-■ 'Well,' she ses, 'I 'a left hoam.thiß six yaar ; I lived jest down there by'the faarm, and I dessay vow 'a forgot me ; but I aant forgot yow,' she ses, ' for I knew ye as sune'a ever I fclap my ej'es on ye y and lor,' Bhe sea, c runnin' on, 'it maakes me faal all of a twitter to see anyone from them paarts. flow be all the owd friends there ?' she ses.r i ' They. be all p,retty well,', I ses ; " Jack Eow go on much as usual, and his owd; -wife's wus'n ever, I tbink.' V f . 'Why yow doant. say so ?' she ses,'but I m to get out at jbhe next station,' she ses, 'and raally to see yowr fresh faace it makes me think o' the middows and the fields and the cows and the sheep,' she ses, a tear; coming into her eve, 'andraally yow must forgi' me,' she ses, ' and I know Sairey wool,' and she jumps up and puts her arm round my neck and gi' me a lot of kisses on my chaak, and then she puts her other ami round and acs, 'I must sarve 'em both alike or they will be jealous,' and kisses me on the other ohaaok., 'There,' she ses, 'yow can tell Sairey, and; give her my love, and I shall see her to morrer,' and out she jumps, and the three men followed her. Tew pthors come in and off we "was agin. Sovr far is it to High Sfa'aat, Kensinton ? I ses, to the new paaple. 'Tew more stations, and we are going there, and yow can git out along 'o us.' , ' AY. right,,then,' I sea, 'for I can't make out a single wud as that man shouts out. It]£ all the same as Dutch tome, I sea, and go it was.

Then I threw myself back. and began to think, how mighty strange everything was. Here I was a staaoiing along underneath Lun nen, with sU-aats' full o' men and women above me, and housen, and ataaples and chimneys. ' Why,' I sea to. myself, 'i.'a learnt more in these three day 3 than in all my 'ife afore; I only wish I know as much as that clever little boy, I sea. BuS afore I had time to think much about it we was at High street and the people sea, 'Here's the plaace,' and out we all gits. I luked round, hut couldn't see nor no? Sairey. I'm afore the time now, Ithowt, and I went to lug out my watch that maaßter bowt for me, -and' guv. three pound ten for wan he went to muarket, but I'll be dashed if 'twornb gone. « Why,'l sea,' this is a rum'un; I had it a hour ago,' I Bes. ' I'll be darned, if maaster wornt right; but who bn.aarth can a' taken it ? 'Well, I ses, ' it's a good job I thowt about puttin my.monej inside my wea kit,' and I clips my hand to my breast)!and I'll be clashed if it wornt gene tu. Well, I could a blubbered like a town bull; but,'twas no use ; there I was in Lunnen athbwfc more'n eighteen pence in silver and threepence in coppers, and no Sairey to be Bin anywhere. ' I'll ait down here till she, come,' I sea, ' and she'll tell me what to dv. 'If she 'a got the money/ I aes,.'. to lend me, I'll go straight back to Norfolk, for,' I sea, ' this is norn but a hell on aarth, and I'll take Sairey with me if she'll go. Wot wi' them straats full o' all mander o' things, and these scraaming ingines in this 'normous; rat hdlej and them laanea full o' poor devils, and the thaaves that know how to get your money athowt coming nigh yer,' I ses, ' 'tis nor'o. but a hell on aarth and I'll be put.on't.' , . „ {To le continued.)■ "iJX

DR. CARE'S SEANCES.

Db. Oabb gave another. of/his &eanees<sA the Prince of Wales Theatre: on Saturday night. The house was well filled throughout. The entertainment commenced, by the dbctor giying a lecture on phrenology, and examining the head 3of some - half-dozen individuals Who wished toi have ; th«#, >'t /bumps" felt. The description;. given; < by; Doctor Carrot the characters and dispositions of those he "examined created, as usual, great merriment. Some clover illustrations in mesmerism were next given by,.the mesmenst. His subjects were numerous, as 'he had only to fi? his eyes',' on tb-Ofe whom he had mesmerised before to, bring them, nolens 'volens on.' ' the . stage, .where 'they/^wore made to sing and dance, and go .through a variety of performances to the astonishment and delight of the audience. During; the" ■evening the doctor saw a gentlein^ii in the1 dresa circle whom, as he afterwards saidj.she had mesmerißed some five years ago in Eo^ kitika and, fixing, his eyes'upon him,.put him completely undor his influence, when he made him go through Borne comic perform ances, and finally to jump from the dress circle onto the stage, tor the laughing gas

there were a' great number of subjects ; in fact, the Btage was altnost besieged by people from the pit and Stalls. Dr. Carr, however, would only permit one on the stage at a time, which he deemed quite sufficient for the en tertainment of the audience and his own safety. He informed them that the subjects were" sometimes inclined to be fighttible, and on such occasions, even when there was only one under the influence of the gas, he usually got the-worst of it. Dr.. Carr announces that he will 6nly give five more Beances in Auckland; we trust, therefore, that ho will meet with the suocess he merits.

MISS AITKEN'S READINGS

Miss Aitken gavo another of her interesting entertainments on Saturday night under the auspices of the Auckland Band of Hope Societies, assisted, by Madame Moller, Miss Edgar, Mr Hill, arid Mr Brooks. The attend ance was rather thin, but this may be attributed in a great measure to the inclemency of the weatber. The programme was an exceedingly attractive one, consisting of a choice selection of reading from some of the best authors, and songs both comic and sentimental. The entertainment commenced with a song, ' Happy be thy Dreams,' by Mr Hill, which was sang in good style. This was followed by 'The Exile's song of Home/ very nicely sung by Miss Edgar. Miss Aitken then read the ' Trial of Queen Catherine,' 'We are Seven/ and 'Mr Caudle gives a party.' It is useless dwelling; on the manner in which Miss Aitken delivered these thrice readings, her elocutionary powers are too well known to need comment.; After the readings Madame Moller sang " Thy voice is near,' for which she. was loudly applauded. Mr Brooks followed by a comio song, in character, ' Sarah Walker,' which excited the risible faculties of audience to such all extent that that the voice of the singer was almost drowned by their laughter. An, encore was demanded, and responded to by another comic song. Mr Hill then sang 'Annie of the Vale,' which concluded the first part of the programme. The second part of the programme was carried out in the same successful manner as the first, Miss..Aitken being listened to attentively and applauded during nor various readings; as were also Madame Moller and Miss E.dgafcin several songa, which were well rendered by them.

MEETING OF GOAT OWNERS

A meeting of goat owners m this city was held at the Carlton Academy, Hobsou street, on Saturday evening. Mr W. Kirby in the chair. Owing to the unfavourable, state of the weather the attendance wus. not large. The Chairman explained the object of the jneetiugto be to devise some meana to resist the action tuken by the City Council in prohibiting by a by-law the keeping of goats in the city, of Auckland, although confined oh their owner's premises. This he considered a great hardship on the people, and contrary to law and justice, as an instance <Sf which he quoted the case tried on Friday before the Mayor. The defendast was fined on the assumption that a goat seen at large was his property, the only evidence adduced beingthat the officers had been told that the goat was hia, the conversa tion not occurring in the defendant's presence, and consequently contrary, to justice. But his Worship the.; Mayor thought fit to fine the man five shillings on such'evidence; He would say that if such matter* as these were not resisted they- would have more tyrannical laws forced on them. He considered that resistance /should be made on principle,- as every British subject has a right to "make it when tyrannised over. It was nonsense, to talk of the people having-a franchise when nearly every property, holder in Queeustreet possessed five votes to their one. It was they that had the franchise, not the people. He would, before the proceedings terminated, ask the meeting to record, a vote of thanks to the Etening Star for having'called attention^ to the subject, and for having attacked the abuse- The Stab, was, in fact, the only independent paper in Auckland, and was deserving of the thanks of the community With regard to this objectionable by-law he would mention that the Superintendent had given his opinion that it was impossible for the authorities to carry it out, as it was contrary to the spirit of British law. After some further, remarks Mr Staines rose and said that he thought they should start a protection society for the purpose of resisting these obnoxious by-laws.' He did not see why a goat should not be kept on a man's own premises as well as a dog^ Why did not the City. Council put a tax on goats if they objected to them ? But they had no right to kill them. He could not help thinking that the fault lay with the people ; themselves for having allowed their representatives to pass such laws. All by-laws were advertised, and the public should have opposed the measure at: the . first outset. As to the franchise, although a Queen itreet man polled five votes, why did riot five working men come forward im< mediately and poll their one vote each, and so, counteract the other? They really had the fraflchise if they only took the trouble to avail themselves of it instead of standing aloof as was done at Stannus 'Jones' election.. ■If .'the people would only now take, action in the matter, and organise themselves, they would soon force the Council to rescind the law. Residents in the, barracks were allowed to keep !goats, and. why should not the poor men ? Is ' not ,%n Englishman's house his .castlet?. Why should the law apply to: one and, not another* ? He did not like oppression. He would call attention; to the absurdity of the Mayor fining Mr Eytfe on such evidence, which only showed his ignorance of the law. He thought that a magistrate should have a knowledge of the law, and failing that the Court should be con ducted on the same principles &B;in, ; England, namely, the chief clerk should be a lawyer, and should direct the magistrate how to aot. It. was a.n old maxjm; that ,it was. better to ..let ninety-jaine guilty escape,' than one innocent should suffer. This was not practised here. Tlie ,i<ea9on was'to Obtain 'funds'for the Corporation, The Council fyad just furnished their offices and Major's room, and would soon, want a Town Hall; and these fines were required to carry out their purposes. But they should do it in a.legitimate manner. He thought .fchat •the public ought to attend the meetings of the City Council; and see for themselves what was being done; they had a perfect right,to go and could ,not,be. refused'admission. He was not a goat'bwner himself but 'simply attended and made -these remarka a friend, brother, and fellow-citizen.—rAfter ar somewhat lengthy dis-j cussionit was agreed to form a society for the; purpose of protecting themselves against the encroachments -on -their -rights as citizens! Election of officers and matters of detail were agreed to bef postponed until a future meeting in i consequence. of. the [jattendance, not, being numerous. 'It was,:in the meantime,,, agreed to defend the cases on Tuesday taexb against several citizens for keeping goats, for which ■p'tttpoSe 'a''subscription iw.as started, several 1 present subscribing liberally. Mr W,. Mirby was appointed treasurer, and requested to retain the services of Mr Hesketh, if possible, on "'behalf of those interested i }lyo£e| ,of thanks to Mr Plunketfe. for giving tho use of room, to tho Press for advocating their cause, j and to the Chairman brought the proceedings \ to a close.

DISTRICT COURT.

TUTS DAY

Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., District

Court Judge. The usual bi-monthly sitting of this Court was held this morning. The catlse list contained only five causes for hearing, two only of which were set down as defended causes. FITZGERALD V. TB MOANANTJI. Claim £100, amount of promissory note. On the application of Mr James Russell,. for the plaintiff, to have the case further adjourned. The request was granted, and the case 1 stands adjourned tintil next Court day. KAPSON V. A. D. M'TAVISH. Claim £50, damages, I Mr T. Eogan, for the defendant, applied for an adjournment. This was agreed to by Mr W. H. Kissling, and the hearing was also ad journed, till next Court day. LASCELLES V. JOHN o'GKOAT GOLD MINING COMPANY. This was a petition for a winding-up order, for a debt of £10 Us; Mr W. H. Kissling supported the application. There was no appearance on the part of the defendants, and the order was granted. CUTLER V. TAYLOR. Claim £100, damages for trespass. Mr W. H. Xissling for plaintiff. Mr James .Russell and Mr W. L. Eees for defendant. I This was a new feature in the celebrated •:'dock" case, the plaintiff in this instance claiming damages for trespass in the defendaut having entered on the premises and ploughed up the land which he was in the habit of using for pasturage. . The defence vcas a general denial io the . allegations contained in the plaintiff's pleas. A; suggestion from the Court for the parties to arrive at a settlement withou Vproceeding further was not acted upon, and the plaintiff was examined. He deposed to having been in the habit of grazing nine head of cattle on the farm he rented from the defencint |at Keinuera. There was: sufficient grass upon the land to hai'e grazed from twelve to fifteen head of cattle* Seven of the cattle on the land were his own, and he was in the habit of taking in cattle to graze at the rate of 3s per •week; the defendant had entered on the land on the loth of March last, and ploughed it up, thereby destroying the.grazing. He had in consequence been obliged to sell his cattle at a loss., having ho pasturage for them. His means of employment was destroyed, and the land was worthless to him since. Plaintiff had given nor consent to the defendant to plough up the land. Had done his duty as a tenant, and had paid his rent. His claim was £50 for damage, and £50 for trespass. The defendant had previously threatened that he would plough up the land. To Mr liees : Have been sued for rent accraiug while this trespass was being committed, and defended the action on the ground ot the trespass. Considered the rent too high, and wished to leave the place. Had had conversations with defendant on the subject, and defendaut refused to decrease the rent. [Left sitting.]
