' OOT.T» MINIKG BILL. •lt On the question being put that this Bill be urfcherconsidered in committee, Major Atkin son moved that it be discharged from the order paper. Mr Pyke seconded tho motion. Ho said the measure was a crude one, and timo should be given to consider it. Mr Shepherd said he would. endeavour to show reasons why the Bill should be pro ceeded with. Mr Pyke had called it a crude measure. It was well known that new brooms swept clean. It na^> however, received the approval of Mr Curtis, superintendent of a gold fields' province of the longest standing in the House. That gentleman was canvassing with the view of being appointed Minister of Mines. The Bill was objected to by Mr White because he wished to consult his constituents before supporting it. He placed himself in an undignified position as a delegate. The Opposition, it had been said, had no head. It had also no tail—no conscience. The Bill had been carefully considered in committee, but very few amendments were carried. It w-"s not a monster of iniquity as the new broom had said. Mr Gillies moved as an amendment that the Bill should be read that day three month?. Mr Tyke said Otago miners were afraid of tho Bill. The main reason was that Mr Shepherd had drafted it. Mr Pyko continued his comments on the Bill and Mr Shepherd with most cuttin; s (verity. Mr Vogel thought it would have been better perhaps if MrPyke's services had been enlistod in framing the measure. They might then have had his valuable support. Mr White wished to say a few words. He had been alluded to by Mr Shepherd as a mere delegate. That member regarded him self ;n.s the heavy father of the mining com munity. He had heard him referred to as the " claimant" (Laughter.) Mr Vogol would submit that this was out of order. Mr Whife thought Mr Shopherd might properly bo referred to as the "claimant," because he claimed to have a larger knowledge of goldfield matters than any other member. He saw that the Bill made provision for the appointment of a mining registrar. He thought that was the suspicious feature of it. He knew that Mr Shepherd had devoted a large amount of time to drafting the measure during the re cess. He wanted to lmow whether he had been paid for this. The Bill met no favour from any member of the House except from Mr Bathgate ; and the fact that it met favor from him showed that there was a vacancy in the upper regions of that hon. gentleman. Mr Gillies' amendment being withdrawn the order was discharged. INSOLVENCY BILL The question was put that the House should go into committee on the Bill. Mr Sheehan moved that the order of the day bo • discharged. He believed the Bill would work much mischief. He had been informed by an eminent lawyer that if the Bill passed, bankruptcy business would become tho most lucrative branch of legal business. After a good deal of discussion the order of the day was discharged on division. The House adjourned at midnight.

LAUNCHOFTHE STEAMER WAIKATO.

The usually quiet settlement of Onehunga was fthis morning a:-scene of the liveliest character. The news of the launch of a steamer for the Waikato River had been pre- ; vionsly circulated through the place, and j the morning being tolerably fair many him- j dreda of persons assembled by 12 o'clock to watch the passing of the vessel from j Mr Gibbon's yard into the deep ■ waters of the Manukau. The vessel ! was duly christened by Miss Scherff. ; The Waikato is a fine steamer of about : 100 tons register, and appears ad?nirably ■ adapted for the service in which she is to be employed. She h;is been built to the order of Mr F. SchcrfF, by Mr Boss, formerly of Duthie and Ross; Mr McOlusky having superintended the engineering work. The Waitematais acomposite vessel, and has been built of the best timber. She has a very neat saloon and ladies' cabin, and has excellent carrying capacity for cargo. AVhen launched the steamer only drew 2 feet 5 inches of water aft, and 18 inches forward. Shehas a portable ' engine of 20 horse-power, and it is believed ; she will steam about ten knots. The Waikato will be commanded by Captain Cellcm, a gentleman well suited for tho position, from ] his previous experience of the Wakato river, j

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day

(Before His Honor Judge Beckham.) 11. 8. MEYERS V H. M'ILHONE.

This defended caxise, in which a claim of £42 was put in for goods sold, and delivered at the Una hotel, Shortland, wai Resumed this morning. Bernard Levy deposed that he had been a partner in the firm of Levy and Goldwater, and that Brogan was in the habit of ordering goods of the firm for tho hotel in defendant's name, and for which defendant paid. Charles Stitchhury, plaintiffs clerk, deposed that the goods were ordered in defendant's names by Thomas Brogan, and entered to Mcllhono, according to Brogan'a instructions. James Norton, residing in Shortland, de posed thiit he was a commission agent, and had been acting in that capacity for plaintiff at the Thames. He remembered calling at the Una hotel in December of last year, when he saw defendant and his wife, and some cases addressed to defendant from H. S. Meyers. 'He knew they were from plain tiff' by the printed labels with the name of plaintiff upon them. He complained because defendant did not give him the order, as he might havo had his comuria-j sion, w-Utn Mr M'llhone said that Brogan waa going to Auckland and had taken the order, but they would order through him in future. In the following January defendants gare him an order. He had also applied for tho accounts now being sued for, and by the wish of Mr Meyers asked for a r1 'imissory note, when defendant said he 'Id see plaintiff first. The name of John , 'alien -was over the door, who was the r /. vactor of the business. $Mic%ax&. &Onyon, shipping! agent, of the xhames, deposed that on the 14th December 17 packages arrived by the steamer for defendent • the manifest (produced) proye

that they wero consigned by H. S. Meyers fco clef en dent; they were duly entered by his clerk (I(ussel). He asked defendant for the freight, but did not get; he said Mr Meyers agreed to pay it when the purchase waa made. John Brodie Russell, clerk to Mr Onyon, jorroborated the evidence of the last witness. ETe called on defendant for the amount of reight within a month of the delivery of the joods, when he told him to send to Mr VTeyers for it. This was plaintiffs case.

POLICE COURT.— This Day

(Before P. A. Philips, Esq., KM.)

DR.UNKEMNE.SS,

John Scott and Bridget Hawkey were con victed of this offence, and punished in the usual manner. Michael Smith similarly charged, and let out on bail, did not appear, and the bail was forfeited. INCURABLE. James Walsh, in addition to the ordinrey charge of drunkenness, was accused of a breach of the Vagrant Act, by being con victed of drunkenness three times within the last twelve months.

The accused has been at one time in a good position, but has become reduced. He pleaded the excitement of the late fire as an excuse, and called Mr B. Tonks to prove that he was getting an honest livelihood. His Worship took a merciful view of the case, and dismissed the graver charge. For being drunk tho defendant was lined twenty shillings and costs. BRUTAL ASSAULT. John South, a boy about 14, was charged with violently assaulting Thos. Murray on the Bth September by throwing a piece of lead at him, and striking him in tho eye. _ Mr Inspector Broham asked for a remand till Thursday a3 tho case against the prisoner was not completed. It was feared that the eye of the injured lad was destroyed. His Worship granted the remand, allowing the father of of the accused, who waa in Court, to find bail in two sureties of £20 each.

Sir,—l must bepr through your columns to repudiate a rumour which I have heard lately afloat, so as to set myself right with my friends and the public of Coromandel. The absurdity of the rumour must be my excuse for thus rushing Into print. It has been said of me, sir, actually of me- that I had joined the order of Knight Templars. Now, sir, I can stand a good deal, but I can't stand that, and I pledge myself that as long as I can supply tho public with tho same first-class a!cs, wines, and spirits that I am now selling at the Albion Hotel 1 never will join that order—you bet.—lam, &c, Thomas W.
