POLICE COURT.—This Day.

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

BK-T. KENNESS,

Wm. McDonald, out on bail, pleaded •ity to this offence, and was fined 20s and COst3. VAGEANCY. Tosepß Thompson was charged with, a , eh of tho Vagrant Act, section 2, by _ :„« no visible lawful means of subsistence oXShMay. Mr Inspector Broham asked that the case * ht be withdrawn. Since the charge was if 1 prisoner's brother had sent money d for him, and he had been sent down South. . , Case dismissed. mm? CHARGES OF INCITING TO MURDER AGAINST J. S. MAC FARLANE. After the disposal of the above cases these ■L aTgeg _-\<_iich had been fixed for hearing f 0 _ day _-were called orj. On the Clerk asking which of the two re maining charges would be brought on first by the counsel for the prosecution, Mr Bees, who appeared again in that capacity, rose and said that he had advised Mr Harris, the complainant, not to offer any evidence in substantiation of either of the charges under the following circumstances. He (the counsel) knew that Mr J. S. Macfarlane had been closeted with his Worship for some time on the morning after the informations were sworn. Mr Beckham: It is not true, sir, that I had seen the informations. Mr Rees : I did not say so, but it was known publicly they were laid. Mr Beckham said he understood the in formations were laid on Tuesday, after office hours. Mr. Rees explained the lateness of the hour by the fact that no justice could be found for two hours. They had to send up to the Provincial Chambers. ■ Mr Beckham asked how it was that the charges being laid on Tuesday the case was not set down for Thursday. Mr Rees said that Mr Cunningham had fixed the day not himself. His Worship asked if he was to understand that Mr Bees wished to withdraw the charges. Mr Bees said he did not, but he felt that under the circumstances he had referred to it would be no use offering any evidence. He had already made a representation of the facts to the Government.

Mr Beckham : Mr Eees to the pure all things are pure, and to the impure all things are impure. » Mr Hees : That is so, sir. I have known it for a considerable time.

Mr Beckham : You know, sir, that you have no right to appear here at all except on sufferance. Both yourself and others are only allowed to come into this Court in indictable ' cases so long as I please. I don't wish to enter into dispute with you, nor will I sit here to be insulted.

Mr Rees disclaimed all intention of insult ing his Worship, and said that, having made a fall representation of what he had done to the Government, he was content to abide the consequences. The charges were then formally read over, and, no evidence being forthcoming, were severally dismissed.

This was all the business.

UNIVERSITY CLASSES IN AUCKLAND.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sir,—Pray allow me to express my dissent from the statement of your informant that I treated a private letter as official. I did merely, & writing a public letter, quote from an unofficial communication which was not confidential, as-1 had a perfect right to do. As to the main question at issue the broad fact is this,-that a grant of £300 a year is made by the Council of the University of New Zealand for the furtherance of evening passes in Auckland to be instructed in the University course; and the question is— Has this grant been, administered according to law and faithfully. There is proof, I be lieve, that it has not. Your informant adds Something about the cost of the evening classes as. compared with the results. When 1 was Classical Lecturer the number of stu dents in attendance at that class was never less than ten, each of whom paid a fee of one pound per quarter. In the following year the fee was lowered fco five shil ™_a. The payment of the fee of °"c pound entitled the student to attend another class, a privilage of which some of the members of my class, and only ?° n) e« availed themselves. If we suppose twt about half of them did so, then the total contributions to the Latin class from the students would be about £30 per annum. noVi &2 w»s at the rate of £50, so that the j»s. to the University for the instruction in uajaica was about £20 a-year, or £2 per U_f.*«'• In the day school called the Auck nf_v°vße and Grammar School, the pupils _w « are mostly y°ung b°ys- the total juucationof each boy costs the province on riv.f^' inder the present regime, and in wutiontothe pupils'fees, more than £10 P«MUMim.._i am, &0., Eobert Kidd.
