He had also the greatest admiration for ?ir George Grey, Mr Swanson and Mr pignan, and he should be proud to listen to them' »n<l give them his acclamation. But they had been addressed by men who were soios against abolition because it did not accord with their interests to go for it. Mr Lusk bad just said, How on earth could they vote for the resolution ? Why, he voted for a similar resolution atthe Choral Hall six months « 20 (Cries of "He has grown wiser since," and "How about the Gum Tax.") Mr Dargaville proceeded to use the same argu ments with regard to the Abolition Bill bringing the Land Fund into the Consoli dated Fund as he used at the Paruell meeting. 0 e was frequently interrupted and could with difficulty get heard. Sir George Grey would petition the Imperial Govern ment to form Auckland into a sep arate colony. They would refuse to do that for several reasons. ("Where's your authority?") laughter). Ist. They would not be aWe to cope with the native difficulty and they would not be able to arrange with the public creditor. This was what he thought. Everything depended on promp titude. If they supported the Opposition they would only land the colony in fresh difficulties. (Hisses.) FFor remainder of Meeting see 4th Page-]

SERIOUS QUARRY ACCIDENT AT MOUNT EDEN.

An accident occurred on Saturday last to a labouring man, named John Brown,! who was working in the City Council quarry at Monnt Eden. The part where the man was quarrying was rendered somewhat dangerous on account of the overhanging scoria pro jecting from the surface, when all of a sudden a large stone fell from a considerable height against the body of the man, and down with heavy weight upon his foot. He was im mediately taken up and conveyed to hia home in Lome-street, when it was found upon close examination that he had sustained severe bodily injuries. He at once received such attention as his case seemed to require, and it is to be hoped that he may be able to resume his occupa tion in a few days. Two other men, in the game locality, also met with accidents, but from" different causes. The names of these men were William Knight and William Jar row. They were in the act of tamping a shot, when the shot went off, and injured both men very considerably. It was found that Knight, who lives in Abercrombie- Btreet was very badly burnt about the face and arms, and was taken to the hospital, where his wounds were carefully dressed by the house-surgeon. He was afterwards taken to his residence. The man Jarrow was singed very much about the eyes, and his head was much burned. These accidents Bhow the necessity of personal care on the part of workmen in such places.

Sir Dillon Bell Has a Happy Thought

The high and mighty Pir .Dillon has had a happy thought, the result of which is that placards have been stuck up in the Strangers' Room (where weary and thirsty reporters used occasionally to get a refresher), notify ing to the world that no one would be able to obtain refreshment without the Speaker's orders. The notices were no sooner posted than a certain thirsty and unfortunate soul sent in to the Speaker for an order for some brandy and water. Terrible Calamity to the Premier. A terrible calamity very nearly happened to the Premier on the morning of the day on which he gave his last Ministerial banquet. The servants struck and the dainties would have remained uncooked had not some lady i volunteers stepped into the gap. Bravo Auckland!!! i Bravo, Auckland ! The decision of your meeting on Saturday night is looked upon as the last straw which will break the camel s back. The Ministerialists have changed their tactics, and now go about the lobbies deprecating any reliance being placed upon opinions expressed at public meetings because they say people do not understand the sub ject. It is certain that now we fight a winning battie, and the majority of Auckland mem bers will carry out the the instructions of Saturday's meeting in the letter and spirit. Mr Swanson sends a characteristic telegram to the meeting of his constituents this evening. .. . , „,,, Old Pincher celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday yesterday.

Assault by a Colonel in a Rail way Carriage.

Cable news per s.s. Omeo at the Bluff an nounces that Colonel Baker of the 11th Hussars has been sentenced to twelve months imprisonment and fined £500 for an indecent assault on a young lady in a railway car riage. The following particulars of the assault are furnished by our London corres pondent, " Greenstone "in bis letter by the San Francisco mail received on Saturday :— "In society the great sensation of the month has beea the committal to take his trial at the next Guildford assizes, on a charge of assaulting a young lady in a railway carriage, of Colonel Valentine Baker

Of lOth Hussars. Last week the case was heard before the magistrates and the evidence given by the young ] a( jy herself and some other passengers by t ne same train was as follows :—Most of the papers nave giv.?n between four and five columns of it, .but the whole substance is to this effect. Miss Kate Dickinson, a young lady of twenty-one summers, and an uncommonly P rfJtty girl, and holding a fair position m society, lives near Midhurst in Sussex. On the day in question she was accompanied by ncr m°tb.er and a sister in their carriage to the station whence she intended to proceed to London aud Dover, where she was to join a ma rr'e(^ sister for a tour in Switzerland. She §°t into a first-class compartment by herself with her luggage, and the journey commenced. At Liphook station a gentleman got into the compartment and soon began to talk, intro ducing the conversation and offering to put up the window, which she declined. They talked as people do about the theatres, the academy, and the passing landscape and the stranger told her that he was an officer in command at Aldershot. After leaving Woking station, the train "had nowhere to stop for some time nnd the stran ger pulled up the wiudow and asked Miss Dickinson for her name, but she declined to tell ifc "because she did not choose." He then asked her to meet him again on that line and to nllow him to write to her, all of ■which she refnsed, and then he got hold of her and tried to kisa her. At this she got hold of the guard's bell and tried to ring it but (as usual with these means of communi cation when they are wanted) it would not work. Then he violently pushed her back on the «e.it and kissed her, and getting down on tho floor she felt; his hand above her boot At this she set up screaming, and strug gling to her feet managed to get the window down and to turn the handle of the door which of course flew open. Hanging on to the man's arm with one hand she got hold of the door with the other, and stood on the outside step. Her screams bad in';the meantime been heard by some of the passengers and she could see heads looking outjaloug the train. One dissenting minister tried to get along the steps of the carriages to her assistance but failed and it was a loDg time before the attention of the guard could be attracted. In the meantime the man was imploring her to reanrer the carriage, promis ing to get out himself if she would do so, but shes declined to trust herself with him. After riding about five miles in this manner the train was brought up to a small station, the lady having been decried at the preceeding station hang ing- on to the step and a telegram having been forwarded to stop the train. When lifted off, she pointed to her fellow traveler and said he had assaulted her. He gave his name as Colonel Valentine Baker and said the lady was making a mistake. Other passen gers present, however, say that he asked her in a low voice to say nothing about it as it would get him into trouble and that he would make it all right with her brother, (who is an officer at Aldershot.) She declined to hold any commuiaication with him. When the case was investigated, Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., who appeared for the Colonel, declined to cross-examine the young lady, reserving all his defence for the trial. The Colonel how ever said that he desired to express regret, if anything he had done had caused the lady annoyance, but that she was suffering from the effects of a complete hallucination. The end of it was that Colonal Baker was committed for trial and admitted to bail himself in £2,000 and his brother, Samuel Baker and Lord Valentia in £1,000 each. One material point in this evidence is that the Colonel's dress was noticed to be in a disordered condition when the train was Btopped. All this is the lady's story and we must not forget the old maxim audi alteram partem. Colonel Baker's evi dence may give quite a new complexion to the affair. It is as it stands a most curious story, and more especially as Colonel Baker is a veiry highly esteemed officer, a bit of a martinet, has seen nearly 30 years service is nearly 50 years of age and has a wife aud family.

Petition for Mr Leggett.

Poor Mr Leg^ett, the late clerk of the Pro vincial Council, has justified, after all, the belief of his friends that he was not naturally dishonest, and had no intention of stealing the £80 which be should have sent to Messrs. Ridgway and Sons for books purchased for the Provincial Council library. A letter has been received by Mr. R. B. Lusk, Pro vincial Accountant, from Messrs. Ridgeway and Sons, shewing that a friend of Mr. Leggett's had called on Messrs. Ridgeway and stated that a long time before Mr. Leggett had written home to his friends asking them to pay £100 to Ridgeway and Sons on behalf of the Provincial Council of Auckland. They were quite willing to do so but wished to know the reason, and wrote out to Mr Leggett inquiring. This communication could not have reached him and hence his despair. His friends were still ready to pay the money if it could relieve him from disgrace, and a telegram was pre pared, but it was thought that by that time it would be too late and the matter could be communicated as well by mail.* It would be seen from this that wnen Leggett took the money he wrote to his friends asking them to pay the amount to Messrs Ridg wajr. This, they delayed doing, and Mr Leggett, not receiving any communica tion from them, concluded that they were unwilling, and so yielded himself to his fate. A petition was circulating in town to-day for his release, and will, we are sure, enlist wide-spread sympathy.

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Before Messrs A. Becbara and C. N. Mar-

shall, Justices ot the Peace.) TEMPORARY INSANITY.

Lyon Wrigg, Martin Fogarty, Daniel Flynn, Earnest Layton, Tom, Jack, and Josey (three Kanakas), George Wells, James Kennedy, Tom Smith, John Williams, and Samuel Bodkin, alias Sam Stick, constituted the drunkard's list this morning, and were severally fined. JOHN MTXJRPHY. John Murphy, a smart looking little man, was charged under the Vagrancy Act, with using; obscene language at .Newton on Satur day evening. Prisoner said he believed he did let on a little. Mir Broham said this was a very scandu lous case. Constable Clarke deposed that at seven o'clock on Saturday evening his attention was called to prisoner's house in Dublin-street, Newton, where there was a great noise. He went in and saw prisoner, and his wife and another person, in a state of drunkenness and creating a disturbance, prisoner was very violent and was in the act of smashing the crockeryware. The house was a nuisance to , the neighbourhood. 1 Prisoner pleaded ignorance on account of drink. He had lost the use of his prime faculty. He hoped the Bench would be lenient with him, as he had a family depend ing on him for bread. The Bench said that such riotous proceed ings could not be permitted. He must there fore pay a fine of £5, or adjourn to Mount Eden for month. Prisoner, being unable to pay the money, submitted to the alternative, and went to prison. Tom Kennedy's freak. Tom Kennedy, alias "Mad Tom," was charged with smashing the windows of William Pow ley's cab, on the 14th instant; value £1. Prisoner pleaded guilty. He did not kuow what he was about.

Fowley, it appeared, left Ms cab in Fort street, when prisoner, without any apparent cause, committed the damage by going up and deliberately smashing the cab windows.

He then ran away as fast as possible, and did not stop until he reached Newton. igThe Bench considered that prisoner must be mad to act in such a manner. Mr. Broham was of opinion that, like Hamlet, there was a method in his madness. He was an old offender, and had been con victed many times. The Bench sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to pay the damage, or receive an extra month, making thtee months, LUNACY. John Williams, of Timaru, was committed to the Whau Lunatic Asylum, he being of unsound mind, on the medical testimony of Drs. Dawson and Hooper.
