Mr Luckie said that England was not res ponsible for the debts of railways, docks, Ac, and denied that the Colonial Government would be liable for loans for such purposes. He said he differed in opinion from Mr Lowe, Mhom he annihilated. Mr Bunny spoke at some length against the Bill. Mr Swanson said it was the greatest stuff in the world to say that the colony would not be liable for these provincial loans. Let the banks of the colony once get hold of the debentures, and they would hear the House resound "with arguments to prove the liability of the colony. They must not delude them selves with the idea that any of these Bills would be dishonoured. No ; they would be paid, and by the Assembly. Mr T. B. GiHies spoke at length and with great earnestness against the BiJ.l, showing that the fact of this borrowing being at the hands of the various Governments would, in spite of any declarations to the contrary, I involve the character and liability of the General Government of the country. Mr Vogel replied in a bitter personal attack on Mr Gillies, a system of defence of the measure which alone has been effectively employed in this debate. The House went into committee, and re peated efforts were made by several mem bers, especially Mr Sheehan, to amend clauses bo as to make it not dangerous, but all were i refused inexorably. Clauses 12, 13 and 14, making absentees regarded as consenting to works and rating, were omitted by Mr Vogel. The rest passed with verbal alterations till clause 33. The House rose at three this morning.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

DPvUNKENKESS,

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) Edward D cane and Thomas Jones, alias Harding, were charged with this offence. The former forfeited his bail, the latter was fined 10a and costs. NEGLECTED CHILD. George Gibson was charged with being "a neglected child. The lad, in a half-naked destitute condi tion, was introduced into Court. His Worship said that a letter had been received from the Industrial School stating that the school was quite full, and that under present circumstrnces, except in one or two pressing cases, no more could be taken in. Mr Broham said this was a very pressing case. Sergeant-Major Pardy said that the boy, ■who was nine years of age, had been adopted by a woman named Harris, who til. lately resided in Waiheke, but who was now living an abandoned life, and wandering about the streets of Auckland in a destitute condition. The boy was intelligent, pnd his parents professed to be of the Roman Catholic per suasion. His Worship committed the boy to the Industrial School for five years. BREACH OF MERCHANTS1 SHtPPINO ACT. Augustus E. Meyers and John Neagle were charged by the captain of the Lady Bowen with neglect of duty and absenting them -1 selves from the vessel. Prisoners said the ship was too deeply laden, and they considered she was not safe. Hia Worship enquired what position the prisoners held; when Meyers said he was " third mate, and JS eagle that he was sail xnaker. Sooner than risk their lives they preferred six months' imprisonment. Mr Beveridge said he had been asked to appear for the prisoners. ... Captain Ferguson said a survey would to held to-day at two o'clock, he ha ig been forty-five years at tea. Toe Court then adjourned the case ti 11. to morrow, when the result of the survey will be known. BREACHES OF LICENSING ACT. ! Geo. Miller, landlord of the Robert Burns Hotel, Union-street, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act by serving a woman on Sunday morning, the 31st August, with alcoholic liquors, contrary to the spirit of the said Act. Mr Devore appeared for defendant. Elizabeth Kelly deposed that she was a married woman, and that on the morning of the 31st August she was sent by Mrs Scud -3 der for one shilling's worth of beer and one shilling's worth of rum, which were served to her by Mrs MilTer. She gained admittance by the side door in the passage. She drank ft portion of the same in the hotel. .To Mr Devore : She believed it was the ■Robert Burns where she got the liquor. She went there'as she had been refused at other houses, and she thought she would try the Robert Burns', she wpq thirsty, and she drank a pint of the beer. She was certain Mrs Miller served her, she paid for it with two aeperate shillings, she was sober. 1 William Scudder, from the Industrial School, a lad of fourteen, gave the money to the last witness for the purpose of fetching drink for his mother. (His Worship remarked upon tho im proved and very cleanly appearance of the boy since he had been in the Industrial School, and that he was a credit to the master tn charge.) In answer to Mr Devore, the boy said that they had dry bread and tea for breakfast on that morning, as their money all went ?i drink. Constable Andrew Clarke deposed that he knew where Mrs Scudder lived, also where the witness Ke?!y lived, it waa about half a mile from Mr Miller's house. Thomas Win. Payne deposed that he was well acquainted with Mr Miller, of the Ro . berfc Burns Hotel, and that he was employed n the hotel on the day in question by order ofMrMiJTer. He was in the house from half-past six in the morning until dinner time. Constable Clarke he believed was the only person who called at the hotel on that day. No one could have called in on that morning without hia knowledae. Mr Devore addressed the Court. His Worship said he could not convict in face of the evidence of the witness for the defence. The case was therefore dismissed. > James Hyett next appeared in answer to a like offence on the same day. Mr Beveridge on |the part of defendant denied the charge. William Scudder' deposed that on Sunday the 31st his mother sent him for a bottle of rum which he procured at the Criterion Hotel He knocked at the side door, which was opened by Mr Hyett, who supplied him with the mm for which he paid three shillings. There was no eke present excepting a little girl who|was also waiting for liquor. Elizabeth Kelly remembered the lad going forth, before dinner in quest offrum. He re turned with a bottle of rum in about an hour afterwards. Mr Beveridge addressed the Court in de fence, Mr Broham stated that Mr Hyett bore an •zcellent character. His Worship said it was a serious case and must be adjourned until to-morrdw. Charles Homeyer was charged with a 'breach of the licensing act, by allowing gambling in the Star Hotel, of which he was proprietor. William Allcock deposed that he was in tho hotel on the 28th ult., and played with others at all-fours for drinks, but the drinks were not paid for. He was the loser, but he bad no cash less than a five-pound note, and

I that he did not care to change. Defendant ) asked him to pay for the drinks, when a row ensued between him and Crow. To Mr Beveridge : He was partly lushy. He was not in the habit of scoring up. The landlord had trusted him. He preferred keeping the note in his pocket. Jeremiah Collikie deposed that he was in the Star, and heard defendant challenge Allcock to pay for the drinks. Mr Beveridge stated that the witness Allcock had been teeing falsehoods, that i there was no gambling in the proper accep tation of the term. Wm. Francis Crow deposed that he was lin the hotel at the time, sitting in the par lour happy over a glass. A llcock came in— he thought he was a little fresh. He did not drink with him, nor would he drink with any man. He went into the bar, when All cock called him a liar for expressing his opinion in favour of John Williamson. When Allcock struck him, as a matter of course, he planted a return tap on his sneezer. To Mr Broham : He believed he was sober. He had nothing to do with the cards. O'Meara was not there. His Worship remarked that one or other of the witnesses must have told falsehoods. The law in its present form led to a breach of the law, and then to perjury. Publicans must endeavour to understand the meaning of a game of chance. Under the circum stances the case must be dismissed. i William F. Crow was charged with striking William Allcock, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace. Mr Joy appeared for defendant, aid denied the charge. . The case was withdrawn. This was all the business. I

REPLY TO MR GEORGE.

(Per favour of the Editor of the Star.) Sir, —Allow me to reply to Mr George's let ter in this morning's Herald. Mr George does not very fpirly state the question he asked mo, or replies thereto. He asked if I would (if elected) endeavour to reduce the salaries of the City Council officials, my own pmongst them. I said it was not very consistent of Mr George to ask thia, seeing that he and his friends had doubled (within £10) the salaries of one of the city employes, and that under a twelve month. Respecting my remarks on the city vrluations I wiU make some little explana tions, leaving to your readers to make their own inferences as to whether Mr George is the disinterested person he seeks to show. When I first joined the City Board as chair man I was given to understand by the late City Valuator, that a committee met at the Star Hotel to advise and assist him in making the city valua tions ; of this corrmittee I believe I am right in stating both Mr George, the owner, and Mr Hampton, the tenant, wore members. After considering the matter I told the late Mr Diddams that I did not think this arrange ment a proper one, he being paid a valuator. I declined to attend, and after some little time the practice was discontinued. Mr George's property, occupied now by Mr Hampton, and known as the Auckland Bank, has been hitherto rated at annual value of £87 103, the adjoining prenrsea occupied by Messrs Hesketh and Richmond were valued at the same amount, £87 10s, while similar buildings of equal frontage have been valued at &s much as £200 and upwards per annum. At the last new valuation these two proper ties were each valued at £50 more than the old valuation, but on appeal were reduced £22 10s each, leaving the valuation £27 10s each additional, thus clearly showing an annual less to the city for some considerable time.—Yours, &c, P. A. Pinura.
