wander in-Stanley-street, on the. lOth inst., was fined 5s and costs.

William AlcocU, for not keeping a lamp diglit at a hoarding in Wellcsley-strcct on the 7th inst., was fined os and costs. Robert A. White, for drawing a dray on to the pavement in Vulcan-lane, on the 27th inst., was fined Is and costs. Alexander Tait was charged with allowing his calf to creep under the gateway into Grafton Road.

Mrs Tait pleaded gnilty, but remarked that the dear little thing wos a "pet," and had broke loose on that occasion, but it should not do so again.

The Bench, regarded this as a light offence, aDd fined the defendant Is and costs.

Solomon Reid was fined 5s and costs for all-owing his brown horse to wpnder in Park Uoiul on the 9th instant.

David May, for a like offence, was mulcted in a like sum.

James Coile was charged with allowing a dray and horse to stand in Kyber Pass road without reins, on the Ist inst. ,

The Bench considered that in consequence of neglect having been shown in this case, the fia« would be 5s and costs.

Thomas Dalton, for neglecting his horse, which had been found on Mount Eden road, eating grass by the wayside, on the 10th inst., was fined Is and costs.

Robert Hayson, whose horse was detected ■walking on a path in the Karangahape road, but who avowed that he could not help it, as his horse went out without leave, was fined 53 and costs. ELIZABETH MANH. Elizabeth Mann, a respectable looking woman, owning cows, was charged with allowing three of them to be at liberty on an unenclosed piece of land in Symonds atroet on the third day of the present month.

Mr Broham prosecuted and Mr Beveridge defended.

Mr Beveridge said that the cows were the property of his client's husband, and had been purchased by him before a deed of separation had been made between the parties. An important witness could be brought forward to prove the statement. He would ask for an adjournment of the case.

Mr Broham strongly objected to this course. Mrs Mann's case was a trifling one, and should be settled in a manly way. The Bench thought it was unnecessary to Drolong the erse; it might t3 easily settled in the usual mmner.

Mr Beveridge considered that Mr Broham. wds wrong in terming this case trifling ; it wag not trifling. It concerned a poor woman who looked to her cows for the sustenence of her farr'ly, and for pure milk for the supply of her customers.

The Bench corsidered that ai Mrs Mann had paid the poundkeeper for the cows, she was liable for their wander ngs. She must pay 5s md costs.

CHRISTCHURCH.

This day. The tailors' strike continues, the men re fusing to go to work on the masters terms. The Board of Education has agreed to give £15 each to the country schools for planting -the school sites throughout the province with trees. The correspondence relative to the dis qualification of Peeress opens with a notice from Mr Redwood to the secretary of the Jockey Club that Peeress was sold to Mr Walters, next comes Mr Walters' official scratching of Peeress for the cup. Mr Walters' letter, datod the 19th May, to the Jockey Club, follows, asking that the disqualification of Peeress be removed. This is followed by another from Mr Walters, dated the 20fch May, in which he details the scheme for pur chasing Peeress between the bookmakers and himself. The bookmakers gave Mr Red wood £300 cash, Mr Walters giving an acceptance for fourteen days for £300, the bookmakers receiving an acknowledgment of £503, which was held by them till the mare was made safe for the cup. Mr Walters got possession of the mare by subse quently returning his acceptance for £300. The following letters, signed by Mr Stead, treasurer of the Canterbury Jockey Club, dated 27th May, 1873, is also published :— To the Canterbury Jockey Club: Gentlemen, —In accordance with your request I beg to make the following statement in reference to the notorious Peeress cases. On Tuesday, the sth of November, on entering Tattersall's, I was struck with the evident desire of certain book - makers to lay against Peeress for the Cup, and to back her for the Plate. I at once spoke to Mr Douglas, a member of the Club, who had been backing Peeress. We came to the con clusion that the "ring" had made the mare safe for the Cup. With the honorary secretary, Mr Griffiths, we ultimately decided to endeavour to purchase Peeress jfor £800, and run her for the Cup ourselves. We deputed Mr Douglas to see Mr Redwood. Mr Douglas returned from the interview with Mr Redwpod, and told me that Mr Redwood affected to be highly indignant at the offer, saying that if the mare was sold so shortly before the races the public would make un pleasant remarks, and he would not sell her itf. \,l price. During the afternoon the con di. \>i the bookmaker further confirmed our suspicions that something was wrong, and we decided to make another effort to have Peeress run on her merits, and authorised Mr Bird to offer £900. Mr Bird submitted

the offer to Mr "Redwood, who still! stated that the mare would be run ; oh kor merits, and that he would not sell her until after the races were over. The same evening I met Mr .Redwood at Tatter sail's, and, after some pressing, he said,...". I received a telegram from Auckland, and another from Greymoath, asking a price for Peeress. I have replied to Auckland to put her under offer till eight o'clock this evening." 1 remarked, "It is now past eight o'clock." He replied that he did not wish to be particular to half-an-hour. I then asked him if it was friend Walters who telegraphed. He replied, " To the best of my belief he has no connec tion with Walters." I then asked if the offer was in connection with Ellis, of Auck land, for book-makers. He again answered, " To the best of my knowledge the gentleman who wants her will run her for the Cup.' I pressed him not to part with her unless to some one -whom he knew would run her honestly. He denied that anything was wrong, and reite rated his previous statement that she was not yet sold. Mr Morton joined us and asked Mr Redwood whab was wrong with Peeress. His reply was "Nothing, so far as I know. I have not sold her. J> Within half-an-hour of my leaving him he walked into Tattersall's and said aloud -'I have sold Peeress to Mr Walters, and let you all know at once that I have nothing more to do with her." I then sought out Mr Walters, and urged him to run her fairly for the Cup. He said he had not decided what he would run her .for. I said "If money is your object rather than have her scratched we will give you a sum to run her honestly." He remarked " I will think it over." Shortly afterwards^ he saw Mr Griffiths, and officially scratched her. The Chairman at th« Shipping Company's meeting stated that it was probable that only one representative would be sent from each province to the London Board of Advice, so that the wishes of the Auckland Freight As sociation might be met, but the directors were firm not to alter the teims of the articles of association. The latter course was warir^y supported by the shareholders present.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE MANAWATU.

This fine steamer, bnilt to the order of the New Zealand Steam Navigation Company, made her official trial trip to-day. Particulars of the launch of tins vessel from Mo-srs. H. Niccol and Son's yards appeared in our issue of the 12th June. We then published her dimensions and other facts connected with her build. Since then great exertions have been uaed to fit the vessel for sea, and to-day her appearance was the theme of admiration. The ladies' cabin has been fitted in elegant style, the decorations having been carried out by Mr J. Henderson of Queen-street. The steamer is intended for the trade be tween Wellington, Manawatu and Whan gaiiui. She is to be commanded by Captain Griffiths, a gentleman favourably known in the New Zealand trade, his last appointment having been that of chief officer of the s.s. Taranaki. Mr Watson is chief engineer. At noon to-day, by invita tion, a party of about forty gentlemen atiembled on board, and the uteamer pro ceeded up the harbour to the Watchman. She turned there admirably, answering her helm w.'th great exactness. In return in", the steamer ron the measured nrle under the direction of Mr J. Stewatt, the Govern ment inspector of steamers. She averaged 11 knots against tide and breeze, with only 18 pounds px'essure of steam. The vessel went down as far as Brown's Is^nd and cruised for about three hours round the harbour. When off Brown's Island a champagne luncheon spread in first-class stye by the providore, was partaken of by the guests. When the clotk was removed, Mr F. Combes, in the absence 6l Captain Daldy, took the chair, and Captain Griffiths the vice chair. The usual loyal toa'ita having been given, Mr J. Wri^ley proposed "Success to tho New Zealand Steam Navigation Co." He sppke of the enterprise of the-company, and Bafd the steamers now rummg were a credit to! any company. The steamer whose com pletion they had met to celebrate would be a valuable addition to the fleet, and was very suitable for the service for which she was built. Everybody on board that day was pleased with her performances. The speaker spoke in terms of praise of the builder, and concluded by proposing the toast, coupled with the name of Mr Combes, which was drunk with enthusiasm. Mr Combes suit ably responded. The following toasts were then drunk :— "The Builders," Mr Niccol responded ; '•Captain Griffiths," "Mr Watson, the Engineer;" " The Ladies" and " The Press." the steamer returned to the wharf about three o'clock, after a pleasant trip.

The Mineral Leases Act

[PBK ANOLO-ATJSTRAI.IAIT TH.TSGRAM COJ€»ANT.]

' this day. The Auckland Mineral Leases Amendment Bill amends section 1 of section 3 of the Act by the omission of all words of the sub-section after the first occurrence of the word minerals. The Premier, in reply to a deputation of West Coast members, suggested that West land should be formed into a province, the Superintendent to have a seat in the Council. The Provincial Councils Powers Bill em powers Councils to constitute Courts of Civil and Criminal Judicature, to alter the con stitution of such Courts, and to make addi tions to Resident Magistrates' and Justices' jurisdiction, with power to enforce penalties not exceeding £500 for breaches of provincial laws. The Civil Service Act Amendment Act is intended to make provision for annuities in lieu of that abolished by the last Civil Ser vice Amendment Act. It provides for the deduction of 4 per cent, from the salaries of certain officers, the fund SO raised to be ap propriated in paying retiring allowances to officers, or to be refunded with interest to any officer leaving the service.
