At the termination of the case the Maeh trates at once decided that the defendant he bound over in a sum of £20, and sureties of £10 each to keep the peace for six months Costs to follow decision.

MR. GREENAWAY CHARGED AS A COMMON NUISANCE.

Christopher Greenaway, of Symonds- street gentleman, was charged, upon the in formation of Mr Goldie, the Inspector of Nuisances, that he did, on the 14th day of November, 1872, and on divers others days and times^ between that day and the day °f the-^s?£ e°J> unlawfuUy and injuriously pemit3^mffer a certain p^ wate £ closet, o^ necessary house, erected and built «,•& portions of allotments num bered respectively 23 and 24, of section 33, m Wakefield-street, in this city to emit and issue divers noisome and offen sive unwholesome smells and stenches during the time aforesaid, by reason whereof the air then and there was and yet is Greatly filled and impregnated with the saicfsmells and stenches, and was and is rendered and become, and was and is, corrupted, offensive and uncomfortable and'unwholesome, to the great damage and common nuisance of all the liege subjects of our Lady the Queen there inhabiting, being and residing, and going returning and passing through the said street the same being an indictable offence at com mon law. Mr J. B. Russell, instructed by the Town Clerk, prosecuted. On the case being called on the defendant answered " Here." The charge was read over to him, and Mr Joy, on his behalf, pleaded " Not Guilty •" and urged that the Court .should call upon the counsel for the prosecution to show that their Worships had had a jurisdiction to adjudicate in the case. Mr Russell replied that the Magistrates were not called upon to adjudicate, but merely to decide ministerially whether there had been an offence against the law ; and if so, to send the case to the Supreme Court for adjudication. Mr Joy then stated that the usual course in a case of this kind would be to bring the charge forward by an indictment or presentment to a grand jury. He would now call Jtpon his friend to showunderwhat law or statute he proceeded ? Mr Russell replied and justified the course he had taken. He felt surprised at the objection of his learned friend. The onus of showing the jurisdiction rested with Mr Joy. Mr Joy said it was an unusual case. Mr Russell concurred, and thanked Pro vidence that it was an unusual case for a man of professed wealth and respectability as Mr Greenaway should stand forth and so outrage society as to be guilty of the acts against common decency with which he was charged. He then proceeded to quote legal authority for bringing the charge forward in its present form. It appeard conclusively by these that the onus vested on the landlord to abate the nuisance, and not on the tenant. He also showed that the offence was one against common law, and punishable by .fine, or imprisonment, or. both. Mr Joy answered that the authorities just quoted were precedents for the Supreme Court and not for this Court. He defied his learned friend to produce one case as a precedent to these proceedings in the Police Court, in Auckland, where the charge was brought under common law. Mr Russell admitted this as fact, because it was a matter of congratulation, that the necessity for these proceedings had not occurred before. Legal argument ensued. The Court were of opinion that this was a novel case, and suggested that it be adjourned to enable them to consider their decision as to their jurisdiction.

The case was adjourned until Thursday next, and the Court rose.

THE EXCELSIOR MINSTRELS.

We noticed in our issue last evening that CitYn 1 1 °f ft the Hall in favour of the widows and families of the unfortunate men Waite and Taylor amounted to £30. We are now iii a position to give the exact particulars in connection with the late laudable effort of the Auckland Excelsior Minstrels, which stand as under:— "Expenses of hall, £3 • gas, 16s; piano, 10s; printing, £3 10s- ToHl%f? \ m '^ C°mPan> senses, it £] 11V I !1S- Procee<ls > £42 Is ; expenses, W» ' S ane. c- £,™— W- Mahoneyf secre tary Received from Messrs Mahoney and Dora.li a s representing the Auckland Excelsior Minstrels, the sum of. £30, being the proceeds of the entertainment given by that Troupe on behalf of thef unds being raised Sl6^ 1166* of Mrs J- Waite and Mrs B.

INQUEST ON THE LATE FIRE.

An inquest was held this afternoon at two o clock, m the large room in the Insurance Buildings before Dr Philson and a select jury, tor the purpose of making an inquiry into the cause of the late fire. The jury consisted of the following gentlemen :—Messrs Walter Graham (foreman), Thomas Short, Thomas Peacock, Charles McMillan, Jonathan Winks, ihomas Williams, Edward Isaacs, H S Meyers, Charles Stone, Levi Eaton, Hugh F. Anderson, George Owen, Robert Lusk, James M. Lennox, and William Rattray. The gentleman of the jury then retired to view the scene of, the fire, and upon return ing George Daniels, a night-watchman, de posed : That he resided in Newton, and re membered the night of the 19th instant. About twenty minutes to twelve, as he was passing, he saw a quantity of smoke issuing from Fort-street,. and when he went down he found that it came from Mr Scherffs store, but Constables Norton and Ternahan reached the spot almost as soon as he did. He , saw the flame coming from the lower part of the building, away from Mr Isaacs' place. The windows and doors were fastened. Mr Moyle came up at the same time, and broke a pane of glass with his elbow. Not a person was there at first but witness; he had been up the street just be fore 11 o'clock, but observed no signs of fire. (Left sitting.)

The mail steamer Nebraska will leave with the English and American mails on Thursday next at noon. The Sir George Grey Volunteer Cadets will parade to-morrow morning at six o'clock. After which a meeting will be held. The assessment list of the Dedwood High way List, 1872-3 is deposited for inspection at Dedwood store, Mount St. Mary road. The Wakatip . Mail says:—"Half-way Bay (Lake), which possesses only half-a dozan settlers, is noted for endless litigation^ and for the envy, hatred and malice often existing there. The most recent calamity that has fallen upon this pretty settlement is the destruction during Monday night of five or six stacks of oats and barley, on Mr Pw Howarth's farm. Two of the settlers were absent. The news was brought up last evening by the Antrim steamer, and the damage done is estimated at £350. This is a very heavy loss to Mr Howarth. There is little doubt that iil-blood has been begotten over some law case, and that the fire was one of incendiarism. Very recently Mr Howarth'a steamer, the Victoria, had her mooring un loosened, and, we hear, drifted with a good breeze to Kingston, when she, was brought-to without injury by her anchor in shallow water. It was quite possible, however, for her to have run on the rocks between that bay and Kingston—a distance of twelve miles. The authors of these diabolical deeds are, of course, most difficult to trace, as they invariably choose the midnight hours. We trust, however, that a large reward will be offered, and the culprits discovered. The LytteUori Times says :—" The lesson taught by successive agricultural gatherings in a young community is perhaps the most important that could be acquired, certainly it possesses much more significance than is generally attached to it. The evidence these gatherings afford of advancement or retro gression could scarcely be surpassed, even by statistical records ; indeed, they are about the most reliable index to the true state of affairs in a young colony that could be founds If that degree of attention is being paid to, the improvement of stock and manufacturers,; which is the sine qua non to material pro-; gress, the entries each year must afford, evi dence of it, whilst the good or bad attend ance of the outside public may be accepted, not only arlfi criterion of the interests gene rally taken in the several industries repre sented, but also the increase in population. The returns of the sales of the different sewing machines, during the year 1871, show the Singer machine to be by far the most popular of all in the market, the number sold being 181,260, out of a total of 610,194 of twenty-five different patterns. It appears, too, that the Chicago Relief Committee, which undertook to furnish sewing machines to persons needing them, supplied 2,427: Singer machines against 517 of all other kinds This preference for the Singer machine is due to its intrinsic superiority, and seems likely to be maintained against all, competition.— New York Sun. [Advt.] We learn that Messrs Isaacs are expecting: a quantity of Tann's noted fire-proof safes by the Norham Castle from London. To gentlemen requiring first-class tobacco and cigars, ,if they would only visit Mrs Sharped neat little American, Tobacco and Cigar Divan (next Bank New Zealand) they may purchase the same cheaper than in any other house in the city. No inferior goods kept in stock ; would not purchase such for the public at any price. One trial is suffi cient to guarantee a continuance of custom, (Jive a call.—Aj>^T-

WE beg to intimate that we are engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for he Province of Auckland for the year .1873, which will be issued early in December of the present year.- Without reflecting on any previous productions in this special field of literature, we believe that we can produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet attained by any local Almanac. It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households and offices,. and more nearly attain to the correct ideal of a Provincial "Book " Almanac than anything, of the kind that has yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. The information contained will be extensive and carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the work will be executed in g, manner that will satisfy the most fastidious, while bur extensive and varied assort ment of new and ornamental type, and the advantages of our steam printing machinery will enable us to produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is not likely to be equalled in the district. We can therefore confidently recommend this Annual as affording f.he best advertising medium. Although the first year of issue the numerous agencies and correspondents of the Evening Star will provide a medium for bringing the work immediately into contact with residents in every part of the province, and, as far as may be practicable, in other parts of the colony.
