BROKEN PROMISES. Hugh Wilson, a fine young man, six feet in hoJght, was charged with using threatening languagetowards Richard Eade, on the 2nd mat. Prosecutor stated that defendant had called him a skunk, and promised to dress him down, but as he had not fulfilled his promise he was willutgkto'withdraw t'r±e charge. Withdfj'vsvn accordingly, the parties sharing the costs. BREACH OF LICBNSING ACT. - J. Eobertson, proprietor of the Ferry Hotel Vulcan-lane, appeared in answerto a summons, charging - him with supplying, alcoholic liquor on Sunday, the 16th inst. Mr Eees appeared for defendant, and said Mr Eobertson was not prepared to plead guilty as the drink had been supplied bj his daughter, Christina Wilson deposed that on Sunday morning la^t she felt very ill with pains in her j stomach,- and knowing Miss Robertson, she knocked at the side door of the Ferry Hotel, and begged a little spirits, which that lady kindly gave to her. She did not; pay for it She had been out all night and was wet through; she told Miss Eflbertson that, she had come from the Thames, but she had only travelled from Mount Eden, where she had been accommo dated with temporaiy apartments. Miss Eobertson deposed that she gave; Wilson a drop of brandy out of sympathy, as she stated she was very ill. \ Mr Eees having addressed the Court his; Worship said that it was impossible to^ convict defendant under such circumstances. He had known Mr Eobertson many years, and understood that his house was well con ducted.

Mr Broham said the Ferry Hotel was one of the best conducted houses in the city. The charge was dismissed. EDUCATION RATES. j

Thomas Osborne and George Kerr, of Maungakaramea,, were summoned, but;, did not appear, to shew cause why they had neglected to pay the education rate. ? Mr Alexander appeared for Mr Lusk, and called upon Mr Eogers, collector for the; districts, who proved that defendants had; not paid the rate.-

Judgment was given for plaintiff with oosta, £3 lls 6d, in each case; c i I

This waa all the business.

IN MEMORIAM.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) -.; j Sir—Perlast English mail a friend of mine received some photographs of a monu-i mant in the Glasgow necropolis, erected td the memory of his father, as a mark of respect from hia numerous friends and . acquaintances , the inscription thereon testir fying accordingly. Only a few weeks sgoj death robbed Auckland of one of its oldest and best citizens, and surely his last resting place deserves to be honoured in a similar manner. When death deprives a family of its head it is common enough for kind friends to assist Jn a pecuniary manner if necessary ; but when happily such assistance' is not required, sympathy is all that can be contributed. In the case referred to active sympathy will never allow the last resting place of. such a universally respected' citizen to remain without, ajnonument to -show, the nigh estimation in which he was heid by the public. Let the suggestion once be started and no,doubt friends and,acquaintances will carry it out successfully. ■ —Yours, &D.j Amcus.

Thanks were voted to Mr Donald Eeid, M.H.E., for giving timely warning of Sir D. Bell's statement.

In criticising Mr Vogel'a proposal the Southland Times says :—"There is no good purpose to be served by the maintenance of provincial life under conditions such as those which exist in the Northern provinces, and those who work with the hope of making New Zealand prosperous as a colony, and every one desirous of seeing her prosperity continue, should hail the proposed aboli tion- of i the Northern provinces as -the down of a healthier state :of matters, The desire for abolition was long growing, and still growing, and it might .not be long before it, would form part of the question whether it was not desirable to include the Southern Island." In the; discussion,, says <the EoiXhland 2?ew'3, the questions placed before the country should not alone be the abolition of provin cialism in the North Island, but South as well, the General Government superseding both.

THE ORIGINAL YARD DISTRICT HIGHWAY BOARD.

Annual meeting of the ratepayers of the above was held inthe Original Yard Taberr nacle on February 31st, 1877. Mr Vegetable was voted to the chair.'- (The minutes of former meeting were read and ;canftrmed. Mr Vegetable here ..Remarked ;I that he was going to Vote for the old through thick and thin, and ten, pounds a year for the secretary; - <A ''' j Mr Tenburner rose and vehemently de claimed against' all bid 'Boards, and con' sidered that one man was, quite,sufficient to form any'board. 'With'this view he had great pleasure in proposing that his dear friend Mr Ton-o'-dayshoHld be The Board for.the ensuing year. He had proved by perisc-ifa! experience that the only way to do things righji was to make one man Governor of all. &I3AttJB UHJIua

Mr Newmarket protested against such an idea, and stated his' belief that Mr Ton o-Clay was a conceited- ass 1, (Great uproar.) Mr Tenburner rose in great excitement; and declared if such a thing had been said in his presence when^he .jtfas Governor of New Zealand, forty years agOj he would have tared and feathered Mr Newmarket.

All i those ratepayers should be appointed to office who would work for him gratis over time. With reference, to the ©Id system of Boards, Of a chairman and four other trustees, ■ it was a decided failure. The Chairman, in stead of being man,,great in authority, was " no better thah'any 6&ii£e-tbtib±!&2d§ptmg the , paltry easting vote. Jn fact the UJiairman was but tfeitfnfcr^aricVifii'Had great pleasure» in advocating a condensed Board, of .one, and' nopea that one w-QUMip.©-Jnmself. '

This amendment was put and lost. Mr Squeefs ;was aorryto gee tWold style of Board againinoperationinsuch an enlightened dißWc^buVhavlhg'n'ad Tgr^at'ixpeiiekce in Board matters Would lay before the original yard ratepayers 'his'ideas oft the subject, and if they followed the same it would give the Chairman of the Board that power and glory whichjWas justly dtwrnuto him. The follow ing are the rules which a long experience suggest for the proper regulation of this Board :^Q£IHTOJO <JA3H"J

4. That the right to be Chairman shall Bft Kdepend upori: an- eXbesß of brute* strength in order that the dignity of the chair . J -')inafyiilj'lll"'ymfeß ahd^uhder 'kllfcifcnm.? stances be sustained. 2. That all meetings shall be held in the Chairman's officer 3r That if any members of this Board dare to differ in their opinions from the voice of the chair it shall be deemed lawful for the said Chairman_to .kick., the refractory t ' members out of tira offices?- "• '■' j 4. That all communications, for the Board must1 be sent/^rivktely' to iae Chairman^ that he may hold back those letters which are not acceptable in his Bight ! | 5, The, Chairman phaU atTjdJjtjjaes have ' power the minutes of resolutions* and either add to or take therefrom at his august pleasure. \ Qt When blunders are made by the Chairr •man it shall be the duty of the Board t£ co and rectify them, and take the blame J"»tpon them^elVes;' ':1 a>"A I 7, Everything,said ,017 done at the Board meetings must lie held sacred from the public, especially that which the Chairl man says or does. Any member break} ing this rule will be spifflicated. | 8. Contracts for repairing pumps and for the duties of Secretary and .Collectojr shall ibexie^idSd updli by.tke Chairman alone, any of the Board inteifering hai, Dettec.rfttird..quieklyjfA]l arA,i} These were the rules Mr Squeers had t> suggest: if any ratepayer thought them toj) stringent he merely had to point oat hoy useful they would hare been in pretiouj years.-for instance when a Chairman (no* dead) had tried to make one «f hial riyafl members of the Board pay for aU.the.drain. &ge don© ip tbe alijeefc frontiog tno lattey^
