POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

Stephen Farley and William Brotherton were charged with being drunk, and the latter disorderly, and fined ten shillings each or forty-eight hours.

VAGRANCY.

Abraham Clod was brought up under the Tagraney Act of 1869-with using unseemly language, and attempting to create a dis turbance in Jermyn-Btreet, -within the hear ing of persons who were passing. Prisoner, who had a terrible black eye, and bunod his fee* in his hands, pleaded guilty. Sergeant-Major Pardy stated that prisoner 8 conduct was very bad. He beat his mother very severely. Prisoner said he was drunk, or he should not have done it. ■~,., , [ • Fined £5, or a month's imprisonment. LARCENY.

Mary Ann McGee waa charged with stealing en Friday last, from the premises of William Pya, of Wyndham-street, one dozen of Olson's tomato Bauce, one bottle of salad oil, and one deaen of vinegar, value 16s 9d. The prisoner, who presented a most misera ble appearance iri Court, and was suffering frem paralyaiß, said she took a portion of the goods, but not all. Sergeant-Major Pardy said the prisoner was brought to her sad condition through drink. His Worship commented at length on the •Vila of intemperance, and thought it would bean act of kindness to ; send her to prisdn, where she would geb proper medical attend ance and food and other comforts, of which ■h* now seemed utterly destitute. He hoped the poor creature's condition would act as a warning to others. This woman had been in good circum stances in Auckland. Her maiden name was Foley, and many persons remember her marriage, with McQee some years ago, which was a very grand affair. She and her has- | band lived in comparative. opulence for a J tune, but both of them gradually became in yeterate driinkards, and sank into a state of degradation and misery. The Court sentenced her to two months imprisoment with hard labour. ASSAULT. .:. . John Morris, alias Leary, was charged* with assaulting Constable Sheils while in the execution of bis duty in Queen-street, on the 17th inst. * , I Prisoner said he did not strike the con stable. ; He was not guilty. Constable Shiels stated that he was in the act of taking Brotherton into custody at one o'clock on Sunday morning when prisoner interfered and tried to rescue Brotherton, and committed the offence.

' Prisoner had no recollection of the assault. He was a sailor from London, but not of the Hylton Castle^ He was very ■orry, but he had been drinking port wine, and ,h« supposed it affected his head | a little. The constable said prisoner was the worse for liquor. His Worship said that constables mnst be protected in the execution of their duty, and he would impress that fact upon prisoner's memory by sending him to the common gaol of Auckland for twenty-one dayß. This was all the business.

"I HOPE I DON'T INTRUDE?"

Assuming all 'accounts to be correct, Mr Coster's now historical " dranken man " does not appear to be the only one in the Empire City who occasionally loses his head, not to mention his feet. At a recent sitting of the Harbour Board it was stated that a telegram had been transmitted to the Government with reference to the silting up of the har bour, both within and without the new breakwater, consequent on the stop page of a portion of the works through the failure of Messrs ONeil and Thomas, the contractors, but that up to at the present time no answer had been vouchsafed ! At the distance of as fflany hundred leagues from the great metropolis it wonM fippear presumptuous on the part of such an insignificant public body as the Har bour Board to even attempt to assign a rea son for so flagrant a neglect of duty by the countless hordes of red-tape loafers at Wel lington, but ever mindful of the mouse and the lion in the fable, I, a worm, (though not a red-tape one) while unfolding a similar tale to the above can only conclude that either the balmy breezes of Cook's Straits produce some injurious effect upon the re tentive faculties of the Executive, or else the prospect of an enormous increase from the new tariff trick has (let us hope only temporarily) intoxicated them with joy ! The case I refer to was as follows :—ln the session of 1871 a resident of Auckland had occasion to petition Parliament concerning a certain private affair, and as a matter of course duly transmitted all the necessary documentary evidence to the Private Grievance Committee at Wellington. My friend heard nothing more of his petition until last week, when having stirred up some of our members to bring the matter to an issue, he received a telegram from one of them announcing the, agreeable intelligence that the petition with the accompanying documents had been lost, and to forward duplicates at once; in this particular case much easier said than done. And it it is for this sort of red-tape muddling that we are now permitting our selves to be taxed nearly double what we were this time last month ! 0 tempora ! 0 mores ! The next question of insular separa tion is one of such vital importance to every man, woman, and child in the North Island that in the face of late telegrams from Wel lington I make no apology for giving an exy tract from a letter of mine which appeared in the Star of 26th July, and in which I en deavoured to sound a note of warning to electors generally. After alluding to the tendencies of your contemporary, the letter concluded as follows: —"Now does the Herald imagine that people have resided in the colony for over a dozen years and do not remember the parties supposed to pull the political wires in Wyndham-street are known to be staunch supporters of the separation policy now being carefully mooted in the South, and why ? Because in the event of separation they see a prospect of Auckland again be coming the captal, not of the future " Great Britain of the South," but of a portion of that country represented by a few insignifi cant villages on the sea-board, and an interior inhabited by a hostile aboriginal race.' Electors beware of separation!" The fore going was written '' from information received just three weeks ago," and we now learn that the question is being openly discussed at Wellington. Now what does separation mean for the North Island. It means that the Middle Island has become alarmed at the prospect of her magnificent landed estate, which in equity belongs to us as much as to her,1 being held Jiable for the reckless borrowing now going on, and such being the case she purposes taking time by the forelock and cutting the painter before matters comes to a.crisis.! And what position would the North Island find itself placed in with the interest: of an enormous debt to be met somehow annually. With a hostile aboriginal race possessing the finest portions of her soil; with no public lands, no exports worth mentioning, and very possibly thousands of her present settlers migrating to the Middle Island, the moment separation became a fact I ask what position would the North Island find herself in ? Simply one of bankruptcy, both public and private J Our securities would decline at least ten per cent, on the London Stock Exchange, and no money could be borrowed upon any security we might offer much under eight per cent ! You re mark, dear reader, how strange that the Herald and its friends do not see matters in tho foregoing light. I reply that an indig nant public opinion will yet arise which will distinctly tell our members, and their friends (notours) outside the House that thecolonists of the North Island of New Zealand settled here under the belief that the colony con sisted of three islands, and such being the case they protest againat any attempt being made by one portion of the colony to shirk its fair share of liability to the injury of the remainder. Electors, again beware of separa tion ! -ri T> Paul Pry. jl
