GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Cure Crushing.—Ohinemuri Stone.

The Cure is crushing at the Prince Alfred Battery, and will put through sixty tons from which they expect two ounces to ton.

Two tons from Prospectors Claim, Ohine muri, will reach Grahamstown to-night by the Lalla Rookh.

Licenses for Tairua. S? Application for the following licences at Tairua have been lodged :—Graham and Keeves, 30 acres, 88 mens ground ; Kennan, 40 mens ground; D. G. Macdonald, SS; Horsbrugh, 32 ; Scanlan, 8; Wardell, 74 j Cameron, 16. About £400 paid on these. £1,000 for a Share at Tairua. A thousand pounds was offered for a full share in the Prospectors' Claim, Tairua, and declined. A share is equal to one-tenth of the whole.

Public Meeting. At the public meeting last night, with reference to the large areas applied for at Tairua, the following resolutions were car ried : —" That in the opinion of this meeting the proclamation of the Tairua district as a goldfield under the Mining Districts Act, 1573, is a grave error, as tending to retard its development, and that if no constitu tional means exists by which His Honor the Superintendent, as holder of the delegated powers, can delay or refuse granting licenses, Be be requested to compel the most stringent enforcement of those provisions of the Act relating to forfeiture of claims held there under in the said district."

A deputation was appointed to wait on Sir George^ Grey to ask him to carry out the r ajlutioas.

Mr Brown M.P.C. referred to jobbery as follows :—The chairman had referred to certain persons getting early information. He must say this, that he was much surprised at the parties who got information, and con sidering their connections with the late Obinemuri rights muddle there was not the slightest doubt that they got their information from the same quarter as they got their miners'rights from. He did not know exactly where from, but he would leave them to guess, and thought they could form a pretty correct notion. There was no doubt jobbery and corruption amongst the Govern ment officials somewhere or other. As to the Warden they all relied upon him being an honest and straight-forward dealing man.

Race Against a Locomotive. Richard Plantagenet Giffard, last male descendant of the Plantagenet family, came this day before the Resident Magistrate for racing against the railway and crossing ■afely in front of the engine. Mr. Lee, who is a clever lawyer, raised legal points to the effect that the line being unfenced, assumed that trespass was not illegal. The Resident Magistrate gave just the gist of his decision in open Court, premising to write a full report giving the grounds of his decision. The Agent of the Telegraph applied for a copy of the grounds of his decision. The Resident Magistrate said, "For what paper?" 11 The Telegraph was the answer." " I will not give it," was the reply."

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. A Liberal Clergyman. Dr Roseby's liberalism appears to be giv ing great offence. On a recent Sunday, in the course of a sermon he said : " There may be hope of mercy and salvation through Christ for myriads of the heaihen world who have never heard his name, but, who never theless, according to the light and know ledge they have fear in God and work righteousness." Some of his congregation complain that he is not teaching the gospel. Last Sunday preaching on " W hat is Christi anity," hesaid, "Amongall the great churches of Christendom there was hardly one worthy difference of opinion as to the practical re quirements ,jf true Christianity. It waa one of the saddest sights of the world to see the church torn by differences on questions which in this world thoy never would be able to settle, and which the first ray of light from the next world may show were not worth fighting about. True religion was not ortho doxy but righteousness ; not true creed but loving heart " The Lost Schooner At a meeting yesterday to raise funds for the relief of the Euphrosyne sufferers, it was stated that it was believed only six persons went down in the Euphrosyne : Spence, master, who leaves a wife and family ; Shar land, mate, who leaves a wife and two chil dren ; and four seamen, Whifcehead, Brown, Falconer, Shaw.

On Mr R. Gillies stating that he had heard a report as to the condition of the Euphrosyne when she sailed, and if only half these rumours were true, it was a crying shame the vessel was allowed to go to sea in an vmseaworthy state. Captain Clark replied that Captain Spence had never said a bad word of the ship. Captain Thomson said as the person ap pointed to survey vessels trading to the port, he could corroborate Captain Clark's words, and certify to the seaworthiness of the tuphrosyne; probably she had run ashore somewhere on the coast in the night, which furnished another proof of the necessity for lighthouses between Pqrt Chalmers and Oamaru.

Death of a Founder of Otago. The flag at the Govrenmenfc offices was hoisted half-mast today, on receipt of intel ligence of Mr Auld's death. The Star, in an obituary notice of Mr Auld, says he accom panied Mr Buckland on board the Timaru in January, to superintend the shipment of salmon ova, and fell into the hold of the vessel. He never recovered from the effect of the fall, which, no doubt, tended to induce the disease of which he died—inflammation of the lungs. Otago is much indebted to Mr Auld for its prosperous position. He was a leading member of the New Zealand Company. He, with Crawford, since deceased, and the late John McGlashan, then secretary to the Ota?o Association, took a prominent part in the settlement in the welfare of which he felt a deep interest. After the winding upof the New Zealand Com pany, his interest did not abate, but he and Mr Crawford continued their agency for the province gratuitously until 1861. The busi ness connected with Otago had then so much increased, that the valuable service he ren dered was acknowledged by a handsome gratuity, and he was appointed agent for the province at a salary, and zealously promoted its interests tip to the time of his death.

Mr. Ormond'a Views

At the Mayor's banquet last night the Su perintendent spoke of the pending changes in Provincial institutions, and said he was in favor of the abolition of Provincialism. He might say, without boastfulness, that on re tiring from office, he believed that he car ried with him the good wishes of the general public. He had performed his duty con scientiously, and could look back upon his connection with the Provincial Govern ment with feelings of unqualified satisfaction Important Decision. At the KM. Court, judgment was given in the case Police v. Giffard, for breach of railway regulations, by crossing the line in the front of an approaching train.' Two ob jections were raised for the defendant : First, by-law 27 under which information laid was in excess of power; second, that under section 27 of Imperial Act (incorporated with New Zealand Act, 1870), the company or lessee in New Zealand was bound to erect a gate on local crossings. The Resident Magis - trate dismissed the case, giving defendant thebenefitof the doubt; butsaidhad theinfor mation been laid under the 79th clause of the Act of 1870, a conviction would probably have been obtained.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday. Mr Justice Johnston on Contractors'

Liabilities

In the Bankruptcy Court to-day, in the case of a bankrupt contractor, his Honor Judge Johnston said he wished it to be generally understood as bsing a matter of much importance just now, that, if people without capital took contracts too low, and thus kept other men with capital and more experience from taking such contracts, hence causing much public loss and inconvenience, they must not at all consider it a matter of course that the Courb would release them from the obligation so incurred. The Court had the power to inflict a substantial punish ment for such conduct when proved ; and it was very necessary for the protection of the public that it should exercise that power when the case was a bad one.

Thirteen cases of sly grog-selling will be brought up by the Police to-morrow. This day. Criminal Business- Mary Fleming, for larceny from Herbert Haynes, draper, was sentenced to six months' hard labour, or four months more than the girl Coelins for infanticide. His Honor directed that if Bhe was found unable to bear hard labour, it would be remitted. The prisoner has either been, or pretended to be,j very ill all through the trial.

The Judge directed the Governor of the gaol to bring up all prisoners sentenced without bard labour before him on Saturday, as they had been sentenced to Her Majesty's gaol, and he doubted if it was Her Majesty's gaol. To save doubt he would re-sentence them in such terms as it would be im material what gaol_ it was. Longs Si, for murderous assault, has demanded by counsel a jury of aliens. The case comes off on Saturday.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before E. Isaacs and J. L. Tole, Esquires,

Justices.)

UNDER THE MOON.

Anthony Cullen, John Gallagher, and Charles Young, a trio of topers, who were found dead drunk last night under the moon, were severally charged, and dealt with according to law —they were fined 5s each, or forty-eight hours in "durance vile." IRISH MOLLY, OH ! Mary ftolan, an elderly native of Cork was found drunk and insensible on the pavement. Molly said it was so, and was fined 53 and costs. BESSIE BF3T. This person was brought up on a charge of vagrancy being a rogue and vagabond, and with assaulting her infant child of three years. This wretched female pleaded guilty to the first charge, but not to the second, Sergeant-Major Pardy gave prisoner an indifferent character. She was rolling about the street with a drunken man, while her child was neglected, filthy, and nearly starved to death. Prisoner was sentenced to three months' hard labour. THE LILY. Maria Lilly, a young woman who bore traces of early beauty, the bloom of which had been erased by the influences of vice and weather, was brought up under the Vagrant Act, charged with having no visible, lawful means of support. Lily held down her head, like the flower whose name she bears, and modestly whispered " gnilty." I very look of assumed innocence would have moved the soul of Sterne had he met this Maria on a sentimental journey from the wharf to Mount Eden. Maria said she might as well plead guilty, the gaol was her destiny. There were 23 convictions against the prisoner, who was ordered to gaol for three months. THE EOSB. Rose Rowley, a young woman, was charged with stealing a number of articles, value £1 17s 6d, the property of Messrs. Dunningham and King, of the * Governor Browne Hotel, on the 15th inst.

Mr Laishley, for the prisoner, pleaded not guilty.

Isabella Dunningham deposed that pri soner had been a servant in the hotel, andr left on Saturday last. After she had left it was discovered that prisoner had taken a quantity of sheeting and other articles, men tioned in the indictment. She gave infor mation to the police, and when Detective Jeffrey came the prisoner's box was searched and a number of other articles found therein, the property of the firm. The prisoner on being; accused of the robbery, said she put them there by mistake.

(The prisoner here burst into a violent fit of crying.)

Cross-examined by Mr Laishley : She had opened prisoner's box in the presence of the housemaid, before Detective Jeffrey came.

(Prisoner now screamed and fainted, and was carried out of Court by Detective Jeffrey.)

Mrs Dunningham : The girl, Elizabeth Bolton, has been discharged. She was not aware of any bad feeling between Bolton and prisoner. She gave the first information of the robbery.

Elizabeth Bolton deposed that she had been in the service of Messrs. Dunningham and King. On Sunday morning she swept from beneath prisoner's bed a part of a sheet, which had been cut up. She gave it to the aurse, who shewed it to Mrs Dunningham. Prisoner's box was then opened, and a silver thimble and other articles found, but not taken out. She occupied the same room as prisoner. To Mr Laishley : She was a fortnight in her place. She re-corded prisoner's box to leave it as it was. It was not looked. She still slept in the same room after prisoner had left.

To Sergeant-Major Pardy : She left of her own accord. ■ ..,.',

To the Bench : She never saw the prisoner cutting np the sheet nor possessing any of the articles.

Detective Jeffrey deposed that he went to the Governor Browne Hotel on Monday last in company with Mrs. Dunningham and prisoner. He searched her. Prisoner offered no objection, saying there was nothing in the box but her own property. The toilet covers and counterpane she said she brought from England, but when the toilet brand was pointed out she said the things were put in by mistake. This being the case, Mr Laishley stated that a number of respectable persons felt strongly in favour of the young person, and had retained him in her defence, being fully convinced of her innocence. After an able appeal, Mr Laishley called witnesses in the girl's favor : Thomas Cotter, waiter at the hotel de posed that the witness Bolton had a great deal of ill-feeling towards Rose. To Sergeant-Major Pardy : He was not courting Rose ; did not understand courting.

He was sure there was enmity between the girls. Mr G. W. Friend, clothier, deposed that prisoner was fourteen weeks in his employ, arid she was in all respects a decent, honest girl. She Mt because of a change in the establishment. v ' The Bench said there was i'o aon'bfc but the prisoner had stolen the things, hut as this was her first offence, and as Mr Friend had given her a good character, the sentence would be, instead of six months, a fortnight's imprisonment,- which the Bench hoped would act as a salutary Jesson to her. She would be kept in the debtors' apartments.-

This was all the business

SUPREME COURT.

OIYIL SITTINGS,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Oilliea.) WHITE V. J. S MACFARLANE AND ANOTHER.

Mr Rees for plaintiff, and Mr Hesketh for defendants. '

Mr J. S. Macfa'lane was subjected to a long cross-examination by Mr Eees. Mr Henry Vernon, of the Thames, was then examined respeft-'ncr his visit tc Kaipara, instructed by Merrimsn and Jackson to ascertain whether the estate would realise the a°aets. He described the timber as rotten.

James W. Carr, boatbtnlder. gave similar evidence to that given by Mr. McCaul, with whom he acted as trustee to the plaintiff's estate.

This was the evidence, and bis Honor reviewed the whole of the proceedings.

The jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned into Court with a verdict for the defendants on all issues.

The Court then rose.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his s°at at ten o'clock. Williamson v. Prarse.

Messrs MacCormick and Hesketh for the plaintiff, and Mr Eces for the defendant. The following special jury were em parcelled in this case :J. H. Beale, John Batger, W. T. Bassett, Edward Bartley, T. H. Ivey, Chas. Stitchbury, James Baber, John Gordon, Graham, Hugh Reidf, John Scarrott, J. M. Mowbray.

Mr Robert Graham was chosen as foreman

This was an action for specific relief brought by the plaintiff', the Hon. James Williamson, against Richard James Steven son Pearse, of Onehunga, the defendant From Mr McCormick's opening, the follow ing appears to be the circumstances from which the suit arose : —ln. September, 1871, the plaintifF wai in possession of certain land, to wit, 199 acres, part of subdivision lot 3. Kapanga, Coromandel. Having left the colony, he was represented by his attorneys, Mr Gardner and Mr Eose. An agreement was at that time entered into between Mr. Gardiner (on behalf of Mr Williamson) and Mr Pearse, to execute a lease conveying the land to the defendant with the exception, as alleged by the plaintifF, of certain roads, which were to bo preserved as means of ac cess to allotments in the rear of the land con veyed, and to certain timber lands. On the Sth November the lease was prepared by Jackson and Eussell, and duly executed, and a copy left with the solicitors who prepared it. Some time afterwards a dispute arose about the roads. On reference to the lease it was found that nothing was said about any exception of the roada from the terms of the agreement. Hence the present suit: the defendant claiming the whole of the land and the plaintiff maintaining that the roads were excepted in the verbal agreement and in the plan, and that the omission in the lease was a mistake on the part of the draughtsman.

The following were the issues agreed upon for the jury to settle :—

1. Was it understood in the agreement that the roads should be excepted ? 2. At the time of executing the lease, did Mr Gardiner believe that the lease contained terms and expressions to that effect ?

3. Did the defendant believe the same ? 4. Did the lease by mistake insufficiently express this ?

5. From the time of making the lease ,in 1871 to September 1874, when the objection was first taken to the roads being included, were those portions of the land, indicated as roads on the plan, used as roads by the plaintiff, or defendant, ©r the general public ? 6 Did the defendant, from the making of the lease till the month of September, 1874, exercise any right or control to use or Btop such roads ?

The first witness called was William Gar diner, who was examined at length by Mr Hesketh as to the nature of the agreement. tfjThe evidence is wholly devoid of public interest.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(FROM OUE LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)

London. February 9. NOAH'S ARK TfiK BEST MODEL OF

VESSEL.

What do you think of the science of ship building now ? It is said that after all the labour and research of thousands of years shipwrights are fast coming to the conclusion that Noah was the most advanced naval constructor that ever existed, and that the lines of the Ark as given by the dimensions of Scripture are the true lines for the coming ship. Ihe subject was recently discussed at a meeting of a naval society, and excited much interest. It was stated that there was a ship running on the Australian line which takes its measurement from the vessel in which eight persons were saved amid a drowning world. Would it not be a strange lesson on the folly of human pride and boast, if after all our hymns of self praise for ad vancing progress, we should find that the most ancient of all'naval models, given by the Almighty, was the correct plan to which we had to revert. FUNERAL REFORM.

There is still an agitation going on about cremation versus burial. The difficulty is to get burnt, since it would seem to be an illegal practice at present. At the same time everyone joins in the cry against the present ridiculous mummeries as invented by money making undertakers. Some people advocate wicker coffins, so that the earth may sooner reach and deodorize the body ; others a m're winding sheet, as in the very old days. Mr Hawrie, the latitudinarian parson, is a cretnationist, and has written an amusing sketch called "Ashes to Ashes," which shews the necessity of cremation, and is unpleasantly full of ghastly details of the uses to which our buried friends are frequently put. NEW RENDERING OF HAMLET. The dramatic pensation is the new render ing of Hamlet, by Mr. Henry Irving, at the Lyceum. This gentleman has quite upset all the old notions of Hamlet, and in spite of the profession which was horrified at such innovations, has taken London by storm. Mr Irving was known as a good actor, and in his famous characters of Matthias, Charles 1., Richlieu, and Eugene Aram he had won laurels. There was great expecta tion excited at. the first production of his Hamlet, because it was known that the dress, properties, scenery, and even text, would be very different to anything that had before been seen. It was not until the third act that the astounded audience had fairly mastered their position, and the character of the actor who was before them. Up to that time all was still, not a sign of either appro val or the reverse, but at the close of the conversation with Ophelia it was as if every one had realized the splendid conception of Shakespeare for the first time, 'and the tempest of cheers which stirred the house ■was absolutely deafening. • Never did man achieve such a triumph on London boards.

At last Hamlet has been truly interpreted, and the coventioDal prig, who has without done duty for that Prince, is now supplanted by a gentleman with a faint shade of melancholy upon his character, which gently affects hi 3 manners. There is nothing stilted about the performance, and all the minor details of the stage business have been arranged by Mr Ifviiig with a view to nothing but realism.
