CRIMINAL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney, Kt., Chief Justice.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at nine o'clock. LARCENY BY A BAILEE AND ESCAPING FROM GAOL. Neil Beaton was brought up this morning to receive judgment for several acts of larceny by bailee on the high seas while in command of the schooner Florence, and pleaded Guilty to stealing sixty-two hogsheads of ale, the property of John and James Marshall, also to stealing four cases of glue, the property of Messrs Whit lock, Kempthoi ne, Prosser and others ; also to stealing three cases of tobacco, the pro perty of Messrs Stone Bros, and Edmonds. Prisoner on being asked why the judg ment of the Court should not be passed upon him replied that he had not, but stated that he was the owner of the vessel, which had since been sold by the mortgagees, and the profit had been swallowed up in expenses, so that his wife and children were entirely destitute. He had also been in prison five months. He trusted these circum stances would operate in his favor. His Honor commented upon the serions nature of his offences, and said it would only be necessary to sentence him for two of the cases, namely, for those of Messrs Tonks and the Brothers Marshall, which would be three years in each case, making six years' penal servitude. This case closed the calendar, and the Court then adjourned until Monday morning at ten o'clock.

Sergeant-Major Pardy deposed to passing the house of defendants at about two o'clock on the morning in question, and hearing defendants making use of the language attributed to them. There was a great row going on between Mr and Mrs Jones. They were fighting. The disturbance continued foi some time. Constable Martin corroborated the evi dence of Sergeant Pardy. It was not ihe first time that there had been a disturbance at the came house. The male defendant, who denied making use of the language, was fined 40a and costs

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) JUDGMENTS FOR PLAINTIFFS. J. N. Maiming v W. Bodinin, —claim £2 3d. J. N. Manning vF. Barnes, —claim £2 17s. ADJOURNED TILL NEXT COURT DAY. Thomas Slater v Crosbie Kidd, —claim for board and lodging £4 lGs 7d. ROSELLA HEIGHTON V. WILLIAM ANDERSON. Claim, 12s 6d. This was a claim for five day's wages, the ! plaintiff having acted as nurse in Mr. Ander son's family, and was discharged without due ' notice, defendant refusing to pay. Mr. Joy appeared for the defendant. A | young lany here stepped forward to plead plaintiff's caiise, but upon his Worship in forming her that she could not appear for the plaintiff, Mr. Brock took her case in hand. Rosella Heighton stated that she was sent by Miss Lynn to Mrs. Anderson, who en ■ gaged her, but stated that she would pay her well, but no stipulated sum was named. She was engaged by the day (only for a few days) untii Mrs. Anderson's servant, who was sick, should recover. She was ordered out of the house, which she considered was very ungrateful. She only charged half-a crown a day, which was little enough. She was told on the iifth day that she was no longer wanted. To Mr. Joy : She did refuse to clean the boots, when Mrs. Anderson said she might go. She never recommended her to the street shoeblack. She was polite to Mrs. Anderson. She was naturally polite. She did not profess to be a shoe black—she was by p/ofession a nurse. She wanted her to stay on, but she objected to Sunday work. She worked very hard, and slept there, but it was monstrous to expect her, a professed nurse, to accept girl's wages. She was not acquainted with Mrs. Anderson's washerwoman. Mrs. Malaprop, the washerwoman, was here introduced, and was recognised by plaintiff. By staying there night and day she had extra work. Miss Lynn deposed that she called upon Mr. Anderson with the last witness, and asked for payment, when Mr. Anderson said he would call and pay her, but he had not done so. Mr. Joy, for the defence, said that his client defended this action on principle, not that he wanted to defraud Miss Heighton of her rights, but she was engaged upon the understanding that her wages were to be six shillings a week, with her food, and it would be shown that plaintiff had not been respect ful towards defendants wife, who was in delicate health. Mr. Anderson was a syste matic man of business. William Anderson deposed that the plaintiff was engaged in his establish ment at the munificent rate of six shillings a week. She was also bountifully fed and comfortably lodged. She was not en gaged as a nurse, but ac a general servant. She refused to clean boots, and pump water ; at least he was told so. He did not engage her himself. He thought she did her best, but she was of very little use. When asked for the money, he said he would see her father. She had not served her seven dayr, and he told her if she woull work the odu days he would willingly give her full wages, namely Gs. She then camo back ; when he told her to go away ; he would not have her in the house again. She was also disobedient, having left his house for half-an-hour without leave. To Mr Brock : He did not keep a boy for cleaning boots and drawing water. He expected she, as the servant, would do these things. He could get a maidservant for six shillings, far more useful. He had heard that some servants got as much as fifteen shillings, but could not state this from his own knowledge. Ellen Maliprop stated that sho was occasionally engaged by Mrs Anderson, and she was in the habit of pumping water on washing days. Miss Heighton wished her to fill up her week, and she would give her six shillings. Mrs A. paid her five shillings a-day, but she was the washerwoman. Mr Brock then addressed the Couit upon the peculiar features of this remarkable case, and shewed very! clearly thatfsix shillings a week for a person of plaintiff's condition and abilities, was an absurd offering, and not at all adequate to the work she undertook. Mr Joy thought it was unnecessary for him to make any lengthy remarks to the Court. His Worship remarked upon the amount of wages namely six shillings a week, was beyond his experience. Judgment for plaintiff 10s. a week, with costs £1. 9s 6d. E. BOUCHER V. JOSEPH REDSHAW. Mr Rees for plaintiff, and Mr Joy for the defence. This was a claim for tripe, which defendant said he '' disacknowledged." He never offered a cheque. He did tell Mr Ewington he would settle the matter, but his tripe never amounted to £7. He had no £7 to throw away, but he was willing to pay what was fair and square. MrEwington proved callingfor the amount, when defendant promised to pay in a few days. Edward Boucher, butcher, deposed € that yesterday he met Mr Redshaw, who' said he would give him a cheque for £7. He did not deliver the tripes himself, but his man did. Frederick George Clayton was acting as agent for Mr Boucher in 1871-2, when the tripe bill was contracted. The tripe was hung up in the slaughter-house for the different butchers in town, and he supposed that Eedsbxw took|it in |the usual way. Mr Joy addressed the Court for the defence. The Court gave judgmenb for plaintiff, with costs, £5 14s. $$■«,. -.

SOCIETY IN WELLINGTON.

" After all Bhe's only a colonial !" What delicious spitefulness, what exquisite femin inity characterises this summing up of the estimate formed of Lady Fergusson by the fashionable world of the New Zealand capital. Shortly after Sir James Fergusson's arrival in Wellington, a reception was given at Govern ment House. It appears that on this occasion his Excellency and his lady tookup their posi tion upon an elevated, platform or dais, and as the presentees marched pass they were accorded a gracious smile. Lady Fergusson especially is stated to have exceeded the great Duchess of Sutherland in the diguity and courtly urbanity of her deportment;. But this sort of thingdid not consort with the ideas of the New Zealanders, especially tho female portion, and who were accordingly not unsparing in their remarks. "Dear me," exclaims one, "what a huge tail our cat has got." "Fancy," replies another, ''Sir George and Lady Bowen giving themselves such airs." " Put a beggar on horseback," interjects a third ; while a fourth by way of a clincher urges, '-after all she's only a

colonial." In order thoroughly to appreciate this position of affairs one should, be ac . quainted with society in tue village-capital. 1 With scarcely an exception the fashionable world is constituted of civil servants and their wives and families. They are about the worst paid but the most intensely aristocratic gentry that ever descended to accepting a position under a Government. But if not liberally rewarded,they are numerous enough in all conscience. So much so that every ratepayer is said to carry a civil servant on his back. Officialdom is of the first water. Any mere chronic tight ness of the chest is regarded as a simple ac cident of fortune, and cannot at all affect that innate consciousness of bi^h social status and political importance which a share, how ever humble, in the great task of administer ing the affairs of the nation never fails to im part. In their eyes a Governor and his lady are only sent out there to be quartered on the country, the difference:, if any, being eimply as to the rate of remuneration. Sir George and Lady Boweu, while in Wellington, took things as they fonndthem, and allowed those great people to believe that they were twice as great as they represented. What then must !>e the astonishment created by a mere "colonial" undertaking to "keep such people in their proper pfaces ?" Probably we shall next hear of Sx James and Lady Kergiisson being permitted to enjoy uninter ruptedly the seclusion of the huge wooden structure known as Government House, while the fashionable secsdeis resort to small tea parties and scandal to compensate for aay loss of vice-regal hospitalities.—Mel bourne Leader.

WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PKNNAL has much pleasure in in troducing to thu public of Auckland the Most Useful Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported : PKINCKSS OF WALES. This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Michino yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordiiiM-y use. The range of application is practically unlimited : anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When iixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is Mien as «fticient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-makin.fr, ami tailoring. KNGLV.NDS QUEriN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pi in sewing of every kind it exactly res.emb us the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machino to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by simply turning a screw, aud the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The atrangement permits of the overseaming or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and will bo found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work It setras where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine It is important to observe that all thesw advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion. aarXoto the address:-MISS PKKNAC/, Dress, Mantle-maker, and Machinist, Wkst End Houss 'rVAKEi?ieu> stjieet.
