FOOTBALL MATCH.

A match between the Auckland and Parnell football Clubs was played on Saturday at Ellerslie. The game, which was an exeeed "igly well-contested one, was played eighteen »-«ide; and was kept up without flagging from three till five o'clock. At the termina tion neither side could lay claim to a victory as no goal was kicked during the afternoon. Ja the middle of the contest the Auck ™i goal was very nearly falling « a splendid drop kick of Abraham's, bnt the wind carried the ball away, and roe umpire decided it no goal. At first the tow was pretty fresh, and the Auckland tten having the benefit of it contrived to «ep the ball near the geal, but when sides Sjf the advantage was obviously rj n tae surburban representatives. Just Wore time was called the Auckland captain Rifled a touch-down, and it was allowed ««r some demur, owing to it being ,a moot Point whether the ball rolled out of bounds wjore it was touched down. This was the S pomfc Bcored by either side, so that the 8 * n i,mur be considered drawn- in favor of h* itnd> though we should think that had W«l hoaen t0 claim a Poster it would «£?Jn!V Uowßd.« aQd so the advantages Wby both sides equalised. Both sides X 2 m-m s^ength, and' great • «"w«t was evinced in the contest. The 4b Jim. i thor°ughly understood, but Draeti tBB noticeable after a few more SbnK?"

rather rough upon these * latter that *hey should have to contend against four or nT\ i tbe best Plas'ers in the North Shore Club, but as they also belong to the Auck land Club no objection could possibly be made to their playing. It would, however, attach more local interest to these trials of strength if the sides were strictly confined to representatives of the districts. The teams were conveyed to and from the ground by busses provided by Mr F, Quick. These might have been a little more commodious with advantage.

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

(Before His Honor Judge Beckham.) ACTION FOR ASSAULT AND FORCIBLE EJECTION, — JOSEPH ROGERS y. GKANT AND MORTON.

Claim, £100.

In this action, which was a claim for assault, a special jury was empannelled, Mr Wm. Chappell foreman. Mr Joy appeared for plaintiff, and Mr McCormack, instructed by Mr Richmond for defendants. '

Mr Joy opened the case, and said that in this action a jury had been called as a ques tion of great public interest was involved. The defendants were auctioneers, and on the 6th May list the plaintiff was assaulted in their auction-room, and forcibly thrust into the street.

Mr McCormick considered that the defend ants, after having ordered plaintiff to leave their premises on account of former miscon duct, were perfectly justified in using the necessary means to eject him.

Joseph Rogers was sworn, and deposed that he was a general dealer, and in the habit of attending auctions, and by bujing and selling marie a living. He had been in attend ance at Messrs Grant and Morton's sale for years. On the 6th May last he attended as usual, a little after eleven in the morning. When the sale was going on, and some hats being offered, he asked Mr Grant several times as to the quantity of hats, when he made no reply.

His Worship: Perhaps Mr Grant is deaf ?

Plaintiff: Oh no ; he isn't, your Honor. He afterwards said " You leave the room, I won't take your bid," when I replied " Why not ? I will comply with your con ditions of sale." Witness continued to say that he offered to pay down at the rate of 25 per cent, deposit on all his purchases. He was not a sham bidder, and never went to sales without money in his pocket. He again asked Mr Grant to ■ take his bid, and he again ordered him to leave the room, telling him he was a de faulter. Mr Grant then sent for Mr Morton, and in a peremptory tone said " Turn that fellow out." He refused to go out. He was quiet and peaceable. The hats were sold to another person below his bid. He had never been turned out of an auction room before. Mr Morton said "Go out," when he replied that he would not as he came there to buy. Morton then put his hand on his shoulder, to which he strongly objected. Mr Morton then went away and returned awith two constables. He remained passive, and the sale went on. Detective Jeffery'came up to nic and said, "You will have to go out; Mr Grant wishes it." He then appealed to the by-standers in refer ence to his conduct. Mr Jeffery then said "If you don't go out your will be pulled out," when he replied that he would not go out. He had come there on business, and had no other means of getting a livelihood. Jeffery then tpok him by the collar and led him into Queen-street. He then made an appeal to the public on the gross injustice of the proceedings. The constables then gave him liberty, and determined not to be beaten, he again went into the auction-room. He was then lugged out again by the other constables. His credit had been damaged perspectively, and he was afraid to go to Messrs Grant and Morton's sales. Cross-examined by Mr MacCormick : He did not take no for an answer, when Mr. Grant said he would not take his bid, as he knew Mr. Grant was a man of violent temper, and he thought when his tantram was over he would take his bid. Mr. Grant was in the habit of gstting out of temper, and gradually cooling down. Mr. Grant did not cool down during that day. He gave a cheque for payment for goods in May, 1873; and that cheque was dishonoured, as he was not aware that his balance at his bankers had. run out. He. never used abusive language in the auction mart. He did not call Mr Grant "a liar and a thief." He never swore. He did not re member "buying fancy goods at Christmas time. His head was not an almanac. He had not a splendid memory. He had been treated with silent contempt by the auctioneer. He thought Mr Grant was jok ing when he called him a defaulter. The case was proceeding when our re porter left-

We did not take that £200 to lock up all our lands in that district, i.e., atlju^cnt to Piako and Waiho. We wish also to sell ourlands in that district to private persons. We lutvo received from private persons monies for oar lands there. Tt is very good to sell our linds to the Government, but also to private persons. The private persons' dealings are v~ty clear in their purchase of lands ; they complfite quickly, it is sll very well for Mr Mackay to publish this notice and ruin us, but it is not right. That is the reason we have sent our word to him to come to Whakatiwai to point out to him a certain block of lard fcrthis L'^oo. HONI RONGALTNU HAMIORA RANGITUATIA, PINTAHA, WINI REREI TE WHETUITI.
