V -ujmrmijmm ■ i inn m I p' „"** j inson deposed that prisoner called V%lsband's shop on Saturday, and V 4 -^og for sale ;he said he gave 7s dncf wished to have a little more. She toTcTbim to call again when her husband was in, and if her husband took a fancy to the little dog she would pay him. Constable Mulville deposed to taking the Jad into custody on the charge, who told him that the little dog followed him. Mr Laishley had no question to ask of the witnesses, but he would urge a technical objection to shew that the taking of the dog under the circumstances could not be larceny. His Worship : But if that be so, there is the stealing of the collar, ■which surely must be larceny, and besides the prosecutrixha d stated that the dog had been found in prisoner's possession before. Mr Laishley s^id it was a question whether or not prisoner knew to whom the do? belonged. His Worship : But he knew the dog was not his, and he had no light to appropriate it?

Mr Laishley wished to be allowed to cite a number of parallel cases.

His Worship : Well, you can go on if you can do your client a service.

Mr Laishley then addressed the- Couit, and hoped hia Worship would take a lenient view of the case, as he thought the boy had found the dog. He was also about to go away from the colony. He would respect fully leave the matter in the hands of the Court.

His Worship called the mother of the boy, who said he was fourteen years of age.

His Worship : I am sorry to hear it, as I should have ordered him to be severely whipped.. Mr Laishley said that if the lad was sent to prison it would do him no good. His Worship : I am aware that his morals will not be improved by the company he will meet there.

Pergt.-Major Pardy said he was sorry he ■ could rot speak in high terms of the family. His Worship addressed prisoner, and told him that he seemed to treat the matter lightly, and he should order him to prison for two months with hard.labour. SUMMONS CASES. Mr Samuel Coombes was summoned for his chimney being on fire on the 26th August. Mr Joy appeared for Mr Coombes, and stated that upon taking possession of his new premises his client paid a sweep to clean all the chimneys, but the sweep had taken the money and had not swept the chimneys. Sergeant-Major Pardy corroborated the statement. Ihe charge was withdrawn. James Anderson and Frank Brook were summoned for throwing orange peel on the pavement. Captain Anderson appeared for his son, and said that it was done without intending to do wrong; his son would not repeat the offence. His Worship wished it to be known that for such an offence the law imposed a fine of £5 on offenders. Sergeant-Major Pardy said that Mr Broham was willing to withdraw this charge as the peel was not thrown with intent to injure. The case was withdrawn. William Downey, a waiter and dancing master, was charged with throwing gravel against the windows of Mr. James T>. Clarke with intent to injure his property on the 10th August. Defendant pleaded guilty, but as he was re turning from his dancing-rooms he cast the gravel at a person and it missed him, and went against the window. The Court was surprised that a dancing master should be guilty of such an offence, and fined him 5s and costs.

James Cook was summoned for having left a buggy in Wakefield street, on the 24th August without a horse harnessed to the same.

Mr Cook said it was only left there a few minutes while he went in to fetch the horse out.

Constable Naughton had watched the buggy, which stood unhorsed for fifteen minutes by his watch, which was correct according to the Insurance clock.

Fined 2s 6d aud costs. This was all the business.

THE LEAGUE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.)

Sir, —I would suggest something to the following effect as an amendment on the resolution to be proposed as the basis of the League's operations. " That the time having arrived when the constitution of the colony should be remodelled it is desirable this should be done in accordance with the de liberately expressed opinion and feelings of the people. That the object of the League shall be to give facilities for the expression of such opinion by public meetings, by en couraging public discussion, and if possible to co-operate with other provinces in obtaining by means of a conference of delegates or otherwise the expression of opinion free from the influence of party or personal feeling." I believe that some such resolution as this would unite the pro vince and perhaps the colony in one body and for one purpose. No single-minded man, be he Provincialist or Centralist, could ob ject to join the League, which proposes to give his opinions a fair hearing and himself fair play. But if the League start with a foregone conclusion it will narrow its basis mischievously. If provincial institutions were some great acknowledged abuse which it required union in their adversaries to over throw the course proposed by the League would be intelligible. But there are many who honestly believe that provincial institu tions have been the salvation of the country in the past, and will be more than ever necessary now that the General Assembly has entered on a career of blind servility and aot unconcealed corruption. At least such men will want to know what is to be substi tuted for Provincial Governments before they vote with eyes shut for their total abolition —I have, &c.,

CITY COUNCIL ELECTION.

The voting for three gentlemen to-day to fill the vacant seats in the City Council created a great amount of excitement from an early hour this morning, as is usual on such occasions. The morniDg opened with a severe shower, which lasted for some time, but which, did not appear to damp the ardour of the voters, who proceeded in clusters to the appointed place to record their votes. The several candidates were busy among the crowd, and cabs and vehicles of various descriptions were rattling to and fro in quest of voters, bearing in large letters the names of most of the candi dates for city honors. Mr Hurst made an appearance quite early, and took an active part in the proceedings. His enthusiasm after a while subsided into that of a disin terested spectator rather than that of a hero in the fight. Mr Kirby was fully equiped for warfare, and was as busy as a bee on a sunflower. He took his stand by the entrance to the Institute, crowned with a new hat, and addresed in his blandest manner every full grown person who ap proached the polling place. A facetious ex pressmen exclaimed, "Mr Kirby, where's your posters ?" " Oh," said the candidate, " I have none, but I have a tongue of the best type which answers every purpose, and comes out splendidly for Willianl Kirby." "Capital, that," said a Newton hotel-keeper, "and worthy a coming coun cillor." The other gentlemen were on the alert eager for the fray. The sun by this time broke through the hitherto clouded atmosphere with summer-like refulgence, which seemed to exert a magnetic influence on the people, who came to the scene of action thicker andfaster,and some of theunpledgedof the multitudes in their thirstiness murmured "beer" "beer." As the crowd increased, so also increased the fun, and several well known faces were photographed in the brilliant sunshine. We observed a man some what in the disguise of an English labourer, but who we learned was an old settler of City West, trying to make jokes on the par ticular callings of the candidates to which we slightly dissented. He said, "Well Jerry, who do you go in for ? Brett and the press, Holdship and lathes, Hurst and chaff, or Kirby and coals." This out-burst of wit produced a burst of merriment, in which the well-known friend of the people heartily joined. Some of the replies of persons qualified to vote were also very remarkable, and fit to chronicled} among the electioneer ing records of Eatonswille. A respectable bookseller in Grey-street objected to give his vote because his Christian name was not spelt properly on the burgess-roll, and which he considered would invalidate his vote. A bootmaker in Queen-street re fused to come because he Baid it was such a bother to wash his face ; another excused himself on the ground that his wife had gone out for the day and he was minding the children, and several other equally vague excuses were offered by men of full stature, and so the banter and the fun went on until the time of the closing of the poll, when the light-heartedness and the mirth which had prevailed subsided into deeper interest. At the conclusion the Mayor announced the result of the polling, and declared Messrs Brett, Holdship,'and Hurst elected. 5 Brett 812

A LUNATIC'S FREAK

Eeckntly a Liverpool constable -was passing alone r a street in which lives a weU r known public ger.tifman, who has a bod. unfortu nately. aot ot a very sound mind, when fecdreom.wlndow in the second ntoif of til.

house in which the gentleman referred to lives was thrown open by the gentleman's son, who called put to the officer that there were burglars in the house. The officer wished to give the alarm, but his informant suggested that as there were only two bur glars he ?nd the constable could secure them if the officer could only get into the house. The occupant of the bedroom further said that the difficulty of obtaining admission without arousing the other inmates or alarm ing the burglars could be overcome by means of blankets and sheets, and the process of tying these together was at once commenced by him. When a sufficient length was made one end of the rope was let down to the policeman, who succeeded in reaching the window by means of it. He had no sooner entered the room, however, than the window was put down by the tenant of the bedroom, who, presenting a revolver at the officer's head, told him he had never before had the opportunity of shooting a policeman, but he meant to do it now that he had the chance. He also told the officer he had better go on his knees and take advantage of the last few minutes ho had to live by making his peace with his Maker. The unhappy constable had no other alternative but to obey, and down on his knees he accordingly went. He at the same time kept a good watch on the movements of his would-be assailant, and whilst the latter was not particularly on his guard he made a rush at him with the view of overpowering him and getting posses sion of the revolver, which, luckily, turned out to be unloaded. <A scuflle ensued, the officer bawled out lustily for help, and in a brief space of time the friends of the young man burst open the bed-room dooa and released the constable from his unenviable position. It is believed the young man had been for some time in an asylum, but recently was released on a doctor's certificate that he was safe to be at large.
