tjoc' f ised a good deal of sensation. tt " ; y } leave in November, so that _7 e ( have all the healthy season b e l Sir Bartle Freer, who of course hair'nad great Indian experience, is to go with him, and there seems to be a general impression that the effect of the visit must be good on the native mind. Things in India are not quite satisfactory just now Old Anglo Indians are of opinion that there jsa very disagreeable kind of political fer mentation going on which might easily be fanned into the flame of rebellion, and the native press is most consistently and horribly seditious. It is very creditable on the part of the Prince to undertake such a journey, and when he is once on bis travels there is no telling where he will stop. Perhaps it may not be on this occasion, but I feel certain you will see him in the colonies if his mother should live a few yaars longer, and so afford him leisure for the journey. The Princess desired to accompany her husband, but this could not be thought of. You will be sorry to learn that H.R.Jfij. has never recovered the effects of that terrible illness of his, and the severe winter has had a bad effect on him. He has lately been staying in the South of France and Nice, with a view to recruiting a little, but his public engagements are very numerous and hurry him back. WHO STOLE THE MUTTON ?

An episode in the history of our volunteers occurred the other day which is probably unique of its kind, at any rate I hope it is. At the town of Poole the Rifle Corps had a feed and at the close of the entertainment a good lot of meat was left which it was ar ranged should be wiped up at supper. However in the interim, the meat walked away and it was discovered that certain members of the corps had collared it. This being proved, tbe captain of the Corps held a full dress parade at which the two principal culprits were called out of the ranks, disarmed and marched out of the Drill Shed, each be tween a file of men, the band playing tbe Bogue's March, and dismissed in the street in the midst of the jeers of the crowd. , The boys of Poole now make anxious enquiries of every volunteer as to " Who stole the mutton ?"

the Slip. Rather a singular case has cropped up here. The barque Sunbeam having changed owners, the captain was also changed. This, several of the crew did not relish, and de clined to go to sea on the ground that their articles had been broken. The Magistrate, who is an old Naval man, did not see the matter in the same light, and gave the men a month each.

The Star of the South has been put on the patent slip for overhaul.

Wednesday,

The Mikado's Outward Passengers. Captain Rose, who left New Zealand for England by the Mikado, in March, on busi ness connected with the New Zealand Shipping Company, writing from Ogden, Utah territory, on April 22nd, says that, on arrival at Ogden, he found the line was damaged by floods for" a distance of 200 miles miles beyond that spot, and in consequence he had been detained there for weeks, but expected to proceed on his}' journey that day. Owing to the state of the roads he calculated that he could not embark at New York before the Ist of May. Three hundred other passengers were detained with Captain Rose at Ogden. The mails by the Mikado had been sent on by the previous trains from San Francisco, and got through to New York after four days' detention from the floods. It follows, therefore, that the New Zealand passengers by the Mikado would not have been on the Schiller.

Webb, of Riccarton, obtained the aston isliug yield of 100 bushels of oats per acre, from an eight-acre paddock.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) "souther* cross" co. (limited) v. J.

His, Honor said he was>f opinion that he mast support the decision of the Resident Magistratei though he regretted it. A chain of succession between the Board wdich incurred the debt, and the present Board had been shewn, and the present Board was therefore liable for the debts of Boards preceding it in office, but the appelant3 could not recover, because the " Highways Act 1871," the Act under which the liability was incurred, was repealed,by the flighwavs Act, 1874, and the latter Act did not contain any clause saving rights existing at the,time of the appeal. Mr "Rennett applied tbat the appeal should b^fy-ised without costs, as the point on Wt'i L.c respondent succeeded had not been tsp-ykx the Court below, and i,the judgment qn_te Resident Magistrate had been .over ruled on all the points decided by him. Mr. Rees contended that the respondent was'entitled to costs. His Honor said that the point had not, been Wsen in the Court below, and the appellants

MORTON. —JUDGMENT.

were defeated through a blunder of the fc Pro vincial Council. He would not mulct the appellants in costs.

SITTING IN BANKRUPTCY.

Re P. G. S. Curry,

Mr Thome appeared for the bankrupt, wl\o was described as a blacksmith. The debts were put down at £234 4s; and J the assets £3SO 10s in September last. On the 30th April there was a deficiency of £137 7s. Five creditors had proved.

The bankrupt was examined very closely by his Honor ais to some of his transactions, and ultimately his discharge was suspended for three months. Re Dayid Elliott. Mr Thorne appeared for the bankrupt, who was described as a carpenter and builder.

The report stated tbat he had not made his business pay. He had not kept any books. On tbe 7th April the deficiency was set down as £476 1 ls lOd.

There was no opposition, and his Honor granted the discharge.

Re W. H. Shaw, Settler.

The trustees report described the bankrupt as lately residing at Onehunga. In 1573 he was partner in a sub-contract under Messrs O'Neil and Thomas in which he lost £70. On the Ist August last he was indebted to nineteen creditors in the sum of £110 8s 6d. On the 10th March he owed 2S creditors £173 ls 4d. The bankrupt ascribed his difficulties to the loss in the sub-contract.

There was no opposition. His Honor granted the discharge Re James Lamb

Bankrupt is a coal and fire-wood merchant in Queen-street, and was represented by Mr Hughes.

Mr W. Kirby, tbe trustee, had furnished a report, which was read. In it Mr Kirby asserted that he was unable to get any in formation from some of the accounts fur nished, and others were altogether wanting. His Honor asked when it was tho bank rupt first knew himself to be insolvent.

The Bankrupt: Well, your Honor, before my boiler busted, I was a solvent as any man in Auckland (laughter). His Honor examined the bankrupt upon some payments which had been made to L. T>. Nathan and Company to Mr Hughes and Mr Russell a few days before his bank ruptcy.

The bankrupt's answers were not deemed satisfactory, and his Honor ordered the case to stand over for the production of other accounts and further investigation by the trustee. Re B. C. Murphy. Mr Meyer, instructed by Mr W. H. Kiss ling, said he had been informed that the trustee had not filed any report, and he would therefore ask for an adjournment of the case for a fortnight.

His Honor said he had looked at tho accounts and they were of such a character that he could not accede to the request. He found that the bankrupt was de scribed as a gentlemen, and against assets £20 ; admitted liabilities, £696 due to gentle men bill discounters, hotel keepers, tailors, &c. His Honor said he should adjourn this case sine die as he considered the case one which required investigation. It was an abuse of'the Act for a man to seek the pro tection of that Court under such circum stances.

Mr Meyers said he"was not acquainted with the particulars of the case. He trusted his Honor would allow it to stand over till Mr Kissling would be able to explain.

His Honor declined to alter his decision,

Re T. V. Thomson,

Bankrupt in this case was a clerk with Mr Allender, soap-boiler, Parnell, and ascribed his bankruptcy to having been induced by his employer to sign an accomo dation bill for £37 13 9d, for which he got no value. On the 22nd February his liabili ties were £202 4s 4d ; assets, nil.

There was no opposition, and bankrupt was discharged.

Re Samuel Driller.

The bankrupt is a blacksmith and veteri nary surgeon. He first got into difficulties over some land, upon which he had built a house, and of which he was afterwards unable to get the lease. He was owner of an entire horse called Sir Charles, which he brought to Auckland, but "the public not appreciating the services of the animal," he was led to try his luck upon the turf, and put the horse"into the haads of one Millison to train. The new veuture was not success ful, inasmuch as the horse was detained by Mollison for training expenses.—The liabili ties were £420 ls, and the assets was £269, deficiency, £160.

His Honor: Did you really think to retrieve your fortunes by horse-racing? The bankrupt: Yes, your Honor. His Honor: W ell, you must be a simple minded fellow.

Mr Meyer on behalf of an opposing creditor, tried to prove that it was owing to bankrupt's own misconduct he had not got the lease. His Honor said everything pointed to the fact that Mr Driller's fault had been that he was of a two confiding nature. He thought him entitled to his discharge.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

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

DRUNKARDS,

William Peacock was fined 10s and costs for getting drunk ; and Lawrence McGivenny a resident of Chancery Lane, and a very old offender, was fined 10s for the same offence. GOING DOWN HILL. Alice Hairison, a smart lady, was charged with getting drunk. She was found in Albert-street by Constable Ellis in a sad state of intoxication.

His Worship : What are you ? Prisoner the wife of a wood-turner.

His Worship : If you go on in this way, you will soon turn your husband's head. Prisoner : 'Tis not in my line, your Wor ship ; can't do that." His Worship : You must pay 103 and costs.

PETTY LARGE"*Y.

James Nixon, an old man, was charged with stealing 3cwt of iron, value 2s 6d, the property of D. H. McKenzie, on the 2nd instant.

Prisoner denied the prisoner. Detective Grace saw the old man sitting on a bag near the water ; he enquired as to the contents of the bag, when prisoner told him it was iron which some person had given to him. He always thought that a present might be accepted ; he did not know who was his friend.

Mr McKenzie, ship-chandler proved that the iron was his property. The case was remanded until Saturday in order that enquiries may be instituted in re spect of his character.

in rags and tatters,

William Moore, who presented a most wretched appearance was again brought up nnder the Vagrancy Act, charged with hav ing no visible lawful means of support. Mr Broham said the poor fellow had led a most miserable life, sleeping anywhere, and was half starved. Dr. Dawson had examined the defendant and found him to be a , person of weak intellect; but if he was sent to the Lunatic Asylum they would not keep him there, as he was entirely harmless. His Worship thought a little exercise at Mount Eden might be beneficial to him, and ordered him to prison for four months.

Our Pigeons' Goldfields Budget

y HISTORIC BUILDING BLOWN DOWN How hath the mighty fallen! The captain and his |host-elry have succumbed to the force of circumstances and the assaults of rude Boreas. Justice and Bacchus, having long since dissolved partnership, have found other habitations, and the National Hotel has

been hit standing as a silent monument, "sacred to the. memory of departed glory." Last night's gale left it a heap of ruins, and the famous "tent," of miners' right re nown, is a thing of the past. Jf it hai the gift of speech it would doubtless say a* Clarence did to Brakenbury (in King Richard III), " Oh! I have passed a night. " The wind blew at times with terrific force, and sundry calico-houses came to grief. Ihe rain has caused another fresh in the river, and has again stopped the cart traffic between Paeroa and Mackaytown. Fortunately, the new road round the bend is now passable for pack horses, so that the miners are not likely to be much inconvenienced MISSING BOAT PARTY. We are glad to learn that the four mem bers of the Naval Brigade, who were reported as "missing, have turned up all right. They were blown.to Auckland on Sunday night. A telegram was received yesterday from Mr. Jamieson (one of the missing men) to that effect. They will, no doubt, reach the Thames by the " Enterprise " this morning. WATER bUBPLY. We are glad to hear that the various con tracts for the Thames water supply for bat! cry and motive purposes are sufficiently advanced to warrant the belief that about November or December next the water will be available. The final contracts for certain collecting reser voirs, and one large reservoir near the Waio- Karaka will shortly be advertised. The object in constructing certain collecting basins be fore bringing the race into the town is to avoid the necessity of storing a largo body of water near the mines and dwellings of the people, so that there may be no risk of any accidents through the bursting of the reser voirs. ARREAKS OF PAY. Mr. Wallnut, who has been in charge of the men who have been engaged in making round the point at Ohinemuri, so as to obvi ate the necessity of crossing the river, was at the Thames yesterday to endeavour to get money to pay the arrears due to the men. It was expected that Mr. Mackay would bring it, and for weeks past, whenever a horseman was seen comiDg up the road, the men paused with their pickaxes, or shovels, or barrows, to scan whether it was Mr. Mackay withjthegmoney-bag.

VOLUNTEERING-.

We are glad to see by advertisement that our Volunteers are bestirring themselves in the way of general rifle competition. They have got up a Thames District Volunteer Champion belt, to be shot for quarterly. The ranges on Saturday are 400, 500, and 600 yards, 15 shots, and no sighting shot. All entries are to be in by to-morrow evening.
