Joseph Thompson was charged under the Vagrant Act with being drunk and having no visible lawful means of living. Prisoner sued for leniency as he was in a destitute condition.

Constable Martin arrested the prisoner on the wharf, and, from his appearance, was inclined to think that he was about to com mit some crime. He was loitering about the wharf.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

THIS DAY,

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

OEOKOE DAVIS V. C. DICKSON

Claim £G, wages

Mr Madden appeared for plaintiff, and as defendant acknowledged his indebtedness to the amount claimed judgment was given for plaintiff.

MOBEIS MARKS V. WM. EDMONDS

Claim £1 10s. Mr MacCormick appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Pees for defendant.

This was a claim of £1 10s on a tenement in Wellesley-street, which plaintiff wished to recover.

Morris Marks deposed that he occupied the allotment in question, under Mr William Currie, and that defendant was a sub-tenant of Mrs Levy, who claimed to be the rightful occupant. He had g.A^en Mrs Levy per mission to remove her house from Baker street on his allotment from September, 1869, and had paid rent for the same to September of the present year. She subsequently let the house to Edmonds. He served Edmonds with a notice to quit, but he refused to give up possession. His claim was for two week's rent at 15s aAveek.

Mr Rees said that Mr Marks had given notice to Mr Currie that he would give up the allotment in September, and consequently upon that understanding he had accepted Mrs Levy as his future tenant, at the same yearly rate, viz, £70, Avhich Mr Marks said he could not afford to pay. A great deal of controversy ensued between counsel on points of common law, when Mr Rees asked for a nonsuit, to Avhich Mr MacCormick objected, as he argued that Mr Marks was entitled to possession.

Having now solcl the Comerang,and Royal Alfred, and paid a dividend of 5 per cent, for the half-year ending October 31st, 1873. with eyery prospect of continuing to do so. tho Directors desire to extend the Company's operations witii better and more suitable boats, and invite the public to enable thrm to carry out this object by sub cribing about LS,OOO more Capital by taking up the unallotted Shares. After payment of dividends, and interest on over draft, and v rlting off a large sum for depreciation, nett profits in 18 months, since the Company was started, are L5,BG<l 6s Gd ©r 45.6 per cent, on the paid up Capital, and 50.6 per cent, for the same period with out including the dividend. There are several aspects of this Company to which the Directors invite attention. Ist. It will pay good interest for capital invested, as proved. 2nd. Good steam communication will benefit the trade of this province and every one in it. 3rd. If the public of Auckland do not enter on this enterprise with spiiit and determination the Island trade and interprovincial trade must fall into the hands of a more enterprising people. • 4th, Are the Auckland people not as capable of carrying on steam enterprise as the other provinces?
