RATEPAYERS, RALLY UP!

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) < Sir, —As there aTe two candidates now in the field for the office of City Councillor— (members of the old and new school) —and as both candidates seem to ignore public opinion in not calling a meeting of the rate payers, so that they could ascertain who was best entitled to occupy that position, I now call on them respectfully, through the press, to answer the following questions: —Ist. If elected will you do all in your power to make the Market a success, and render it equally attractive to the buyer and seller ? 2.—lf funds are at disposal will you be in favour of cutting down Upper Queen-street, and thereby make it the natural outlet of the city ? 3.—Are you in favour of divert ing the traffic from Queen-street into the new road now being made, and to be con tinued through Brown and Campbell's buildings, by Issacs' bonded store, and on to the supposed station house ? 4th ques tion to be answered by his Worship the Mayor —By whose authority did Mr Brophy solicit signatures in order to carry out the above hobby ? As a member of the Auckland Improvement Commissioners, perhaps you could tell by ffjiom he was paid for doing so. 5. For both candidates, if elected, will you do all in your power to rescind some of those imported obnoxious by-laws, which are not only re pugnant to common sense, but abhorrent to the inborn right and liberty of every British Bubject ? G. Are you in favour of a water supply? If so, whether by gravitation, hydraulic, Seccombe's, or otherwise. Do you prefer to have it undertaken by a company or by imposing an additional tax on the rate payers. 7. Are youinfavorof dividing the town into wards, or do you prefer to hive Queen street put in, and keep out whom they like ? 8. If you become a renegade to the principles on which you are elected will you resign if called upon to do so by a majority of the ratepayers. —The moat satisfactory answer, given to the above questions wiJl secure the greatest number of votes, independent of party feeling or private influence, and a refusal to answer will cause an indignation meeting of ratepayers to be held before the 29th instant.—l am, &c, A Ratepayer.

SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS

Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arncy, Knight Chief Justice, and a specie J. jury,

His Honor entered the Court at ten o'clock.

ANGUS AWD ANOTHER V. HEWIK. The following gentlemen were sworn of tho special jury :—James Thomaa Boylan (foreman). Messrs Boardman, Yongo, Crum nier, Dyer, Roskruge, Buchanan (John), Lackland, fiarlc, Kcfis, Gardiner, Bassett. The documents tendered were plan of sur veyors, wiih Government road indicated, made by order of the native owners j plan made by Government surveyors, with the line of Owen-street as altered; lease from natives to a person named Sergeant, who assigned to Angus; Angus and Sergeant to A eland, to Heron, the defendant. A good deal pf preliminary inquiry occupied tho Court in respect to* the due execution of the lease from tho natives, on tho objection raised by Mr Hcskoth that the deed was not read over to the natives.

Mr WhiUker and Mr Elliot Meyer for plaintiff; Mr Hesketh and Mr Thorne for the defendant. This was a new trial obtained by defend ant upon a motion that the verdict given by the previous jury was against the weight of evidence, and under the misdirection of, the learned judge. There were seventeen issues for the jury, comprising the main inci dents in tho history of the cause, viz., a lease from Matiu Punu and others to one James Sergeant, in 18GS, the other plaintiff coming in as co-lessee; then the lease from the p'aintiff to a person named Aclaud.^ho sub leased to the defendant, who erected a store and oarried on business there since Septem ber, ISG9. The ohief point in this oase was whether this particular piece of land was that leasod by the natives to Angus and Sergeant, and this turned upon the plans made after the respective surveys of the ground, viz., those taken by the Burveyorß employed by the native owners in the first instance, and the Government surveyors subsequently. It was contended by plaintiffs that the sur veys included this piece of land, and they relied upon evidence adduced for the identi fication of the land. The plaintiff claimed damages from the defendant for th.9 use and oooupation of the debt since 1869 to the amount of £500.

The first 7witness called was Edward Lambert, one of the attesting witness to the leaso from the natives to tho plaintiff. Mr Edward Davis, liconEed interpreter, was second attesting witness, and gave evidenoe aa to its execution by the nativo owners. The defendant pleaded that the plans had been materially altered, that he held under a lease from Acland, who held under the plaintiffs ; that he was in lawful possession, and put in a general plea of denial of all tho material allegations in the declarations,

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., U.M., Mr G. P. Pierce, and Mr Graham, J.P.'a.) DKU> TKENNEHS. Charles Biokham was tined for drunken ness. STEALING "WEAKING APPAREL. Lizzie Nelson, otherwise known under the names of Johnston and Wilson, was charged with the larceny of ten yards of black velveteen, two women's waterproofs, two sheets and one crinoline. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Broham asked for a remand in order to produce the stolen property. Ho said tho prisoner had gone to Coromandel the day after the property was missing. She was lodging with the prosecutor. llemanded until Monday. BREACH OF THE LICENSING ACT. Lawrence Kobertson was charged with a breach of section 4 of the Licensinglet by deserting his licensed house. Mr Devore stated that the police had recommeuded the transfer of the license for the house to Mr Moi rison. Mr Broham confirmed the statement. His Worship said that, hothwith standing the recommendation of the police, the Bench had power to refuse the transfer. He wished publicans to know this iv order that they might not t7'ansgress the law. The Bench would grant the application for transfer. The charge against Eobertson was then withdrawn. ASSAULT. Charles Homzer was charged with assault ing Oliver G-., Ellis by striking him on the head, neck, and breast, kicking him, catch ing him by the beard, and bumping his head against a wall. Mr Leary appeared for complainant, and • Mr Beveridge for the defendant. Mr Beveridge admitted that his client had behaved rather "rude," and stated that counsel had arranged the matter on the condition that the defendant enter into his own bond for £50, and pay the costs. Mr Leary suggested a donation to the poor box also. Air Beveridge said that was not in the conditions. His Worship suggested that the defendant should read the appeal over one of the boxes, and it might have some effect on him. The defendant subsequently availed him self of this suggestion, and contributed. This was all the business.

DISSOLUTION OF AUCKLAND PRO VINNCIAL COUNCIL.

In the House of Representates on the 16th inst., Mr Williamson asked the Premier on what date, according to effluxion of time, it will become necessary for the Governor to dissolve the Provincial Council of Auckland? He had been induced to put this question in order to remove certain doubts which existed in Auckland as to the time, when the present Coucil would be dis solved. Candidates and electors were alike anxious on the point, a great deal of interest being taken in the forthcoming elections. He (Mr Williamson) had been informed that one of the candidates for the office of Superin tendent considered that the time when the dissolution should take place,' or at any rate when the elections should be held, rested very much with the Provin cial Government ; but he (Mr William son) was not himself aware that such was the case y he knew that it rested entirely in the hands of the General Government when to dissolve ihe Council and to issue the writs, and with the .Returning Officers to decide when the elections should take place. Mr Vogel replied that he was advised that the date for the return of the writs for the election of the present Provincial Council of Auckland was the 18th January, 1870, and the Council would therefore have to be dissolved on some day prior to the 18th January, 1574.
