Prisoner: Oh, your Worship, have mercy upon me ; do, pray sir. I am a very poor man aud work hard for my family. Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon me. k His Worship : You have pleaded guilty, / ;V?d must suffer in consequence of you; ■ sonduct. You must go to prison for one month with hard labour, and I hope you will act better in future.

SETTLED, BUT NOT MARRIED. Eobert Moon and Ellen Whitaker were charged under the Vagrancy Act, with being the occupiers of a house frequented by thieves and bad characters. Prisoners pleaded guilty.

Detective Jeffrey gave a graphic descrip tion of the house, and the scenes witnessed by him on Sunday last, which disclosed a horrible state of immorality and vice.

Three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE LION DENNIS,

Dennis Scullen was charged with making use of threatening language towards Mary, his wife, on the Ist April, whereby she went in fear of her life.

Dennis, an old man, pleaded drunkenness. Mary Scullen, a decent looking woman also in years, deposed that her husband was outrageous when the drink was in him ; he was then like a lion, but when sober he was like a lamb. She only asked that he might be bound over to keep the peace.

His Worship ordered the defendant, an old soldier, to find sureties, himself in £30 and two friends in £15 each.

WOMAN'S TONGUE,

Elizabeth Tigbe was summoned for as saulting her young friend, Fanny Pridmore, by punching her heavily on the mouth with her clenched fist and loosening two of her front teeth, and causing her nose to bleed on the 3rd of April. Mr. Eees appeared for the defendant. His Worship asked if the matter could not be amicably arranged ? It was an awful thing to see women day after day coming to the Court wasting the money that should be used for the benefit of their families.

Mrs Pridmore held up a brick to his Worship, and said she could not make it np while such formidable missiles as bricks were flung at her head.

Fanny Catherine Wilhelmina Josephine Pridmore, daughter of complainant, deposed tbat on April 3rd, when in her mother's yard, Mrs Tighe laid on to her to with her fist, and promised on another occasion to take the life out of her. She did not speak to Mrs Tighe, nor could she tell the reason why she thrashed her so.

To Mr. Rees : Defendant had no baby in her arms. She had just come out of Lloyd's shop. She merely looked at Mrs Tighe ; ehe was afraid of her. (Witness here burst into a violent fit of sobbing.) Mrs Sutton was with her. Mrs Tighe struck her on the back, but she did not think Mrs Sutton saw the blow. She told her mother all about it ; the father and mother had requested Mrs Tighe not to lay violent hands upon her. Ellen Pridmore, mother of the girl, was then called, and came tripping into Court with the large brick in her hand, folded up in a white handkerchief. Defendant had promised to do for her girl; and when she spoke to her on the wickedness of her threat, she looked hard into her face and called her a " hussy." She believed there was a dread ful prefix to the term, beginning with a "D."

His Worship : What is a hussy ? Complainant : When she was a girl, it was something in the shape of a little book for the protection of needles. She did not ccc the blow struck on her child's back, but she heard her girl cry out, "Mamma, Oh ! my back, oh 1 my back, mamma." She told her what had happened ; she applied lotion to her back, it looked red.

Joseph Pridmore gave evidence : All he could say was, that Jhe was the husband of his wife and the father of the child. He did not take particular interest in the matter. He once heard a threat from defendant. Mrs Tighe had fallen over some steps and hurt her nose. She was a little angry; he was not sure about the hour ; he was a quiet man and did not wish to be con nected with the affair ; but as the father of a family he was bound to appear in his paternal capacity.

Miss Elizabeth Sutton, a fine young woman, was present, but a stranger to the parties. A few words and gestures were exchanged between the parties at the corner of Chapel-street, by Brittain's shop ; she did not see a blow struck. Mr Pridmore seeing there was danger, led his wife away, but Mrs Pridmore vowed that she

Mr Adam Cantling, landlord of the house, knew the parties, and believed that Mrs Tighe, who had lived in his house for many months, was a quiet respectable woman. His Worship thought there six of one and a half-dozen of the other. It was quite clear that happiness was not general in Chapel street. He thought that an assault had been committed, but he would inflict the smallest penalty —namely, ls and costs, but steps should be at once taken to bring the other woman forward that she may be bound over to keep the peace. WOMEN AGAIN Mary Burteshaw was charged with swear ing terribly at Anne Hutley, on the 30_th of March, thereby causing her to shake in her shoes.

His Worship : Cannot you two settle your little matters ?

Mrs Hutley : I cannot, your Worship ; she is a divil to me.

His Worship : I fear one is as bad as the other. Come, now, go outside and try reason the matter, and make it up.' Mrs Burtenshaw : I am not particular. Mrs Hutley : No, I won't ; she's an awful character.

His Worship : Well, if you will be so pig headed, you must go on with the case. Now go outside and settle it. The women consented to go. His Worship : Constable, take cars that they don't fight it out. After a few minutes consultation, the parties arranged their differences, and the charge was withdrawn. LARCENY ON THE HIGH SEAS. George Foster was charged with larceny of £3 10s, the property of John O'Ham, on board the ship Baron Aberdare, on the high seas ; also with stealing a hide of leather, value £4, the property of Captain Edmonds. Sergeant-Major Pardy said that the princi pal witness was still suffering in the Hospital and unable to attend.

The case was remanded until Thursday next.

LUNACY.

John Martin Shea, who had been reman ded from last week, was again brought up on a charge of being of unsound mind. The prisoner had suffered terribly from delirium tremens in consequence of excessive drinking, but had been completely restored to sanity by being kept upon bread and water. He was discharged.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)

London, February 9

THE BUILDER OF THE ALABAMA.

Some people seem to think that Mr Laird, the great ship-builder, ought to have left some of his property to the nation by way of compensation for the three and a half millions which we had to pay on his account to the United States. He has left a fortune to his children of £200,000. #or my part, I cannot help thinking that Mr Laird was the last person who should be blamed for the nation's Alabama losses. Rather let the shoulder, of those pusillanimous, though noble souls bear the brunt of the odium, who knocked under

the Impudent demands of the Hibernico- Germanic-Indico carpetbaggers an d coffee y potters, who blusteredj and swaggered to I ' «ome purpose. THE FASHIONS. It would make our grandmothers turn in their graves if they could see the fashions and manners of the present day, and know

how even modest women are ruled by them. For instance, a lady no longer orders a square body or a low body at a fashionable dress makers, but says, "I wish to be dressed in skin," implying that she wishes to show as much arms and bust as is permissable. If she wishes to be mprlest, she asks for a half skin ; and if prudish, for a quarter skin. Some of the outdoor fashions are very curious. A leopard skin mantle is one of the latest inventions of the Regent-street shops. THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.

The death of the Rev. Luke Wiseman, an ex-President of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference, will be heard of with regret by many of your readers. He was a tall robust healthy looking man, and looked likely to live long. He died of heart disease, a com plaint that is becoming terribly general in these days of hurry and worry. He was born at Norwich, and was private Secretary to Sir Fowell Buxton, and afterwards having been trained at Buxton College, became a Wesleyan Minister in 1841. He was a powerful preacher and greatly beloved, hav ing a strong cultivated mind, generous and sympathetic to the last degree. Latterly he wrote a great deal for the press, and was editor of the Methodist Recorder, besides being the author of more than one standard religious work. THE CHANNEL TUNNEL. The French are greatly excited, much more excited than we are in cold perfidious Albion, about the channel tunnel, which work is already begun. For years the scheme has been talked of, but most people seemed to regard it as visionary, and few of us thought we should ever see it tin fait ac compli. However, in a few years that nar row strip of briny and not always very blue water which divides the two old rival coun tries is to be—not bridged over—but bridged under, and the lete noir of travellers is to be overcome at a stroke. The water, at the spot where the tunnel is to be is nowhere more than 180 feet deep. The English Company is formed, and has Lord Richard Grosvernor for its Chairman, and in France a Bill has been introduced authorising the French to co-operate with us. The borings on each side, in St. Margaret's Bay, east of Dover and west of Calais in France have been completed, and engineers are confident. Machines for tunnelling, on the principle of those used in the formation of the-Mount Cein's tunnel have been prepared by Mr JDickinson, Brunton, and the only possible fear i 3 that some very hard rock may inter vene half way instead of the soft chalk which is anticipated. The interior of the tunnel will be lined with massive masonry.

More quartz is apparently making at the bottom of the Association's- shaft. The country is very hard ; but it is expected next week to finish sinking for a 25-inch pump, and start with 18-inch pump when the cistern chamber is cut.

Gold shows well in the face and inter mediate level of the Caledonian. Evidently go od specimens stuff, but none yet broken down.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day, Railway Accident.

The last carriage of the 9*15 train from the Hutt this morning got off the rails, but fortunately the train was approaching the station and going slow at the time, or the consequences would have been serious, as the carriage was full of people. The signalman observing the accident, signalled the driver to stop, which was done in time to avoid serious damages. The general mismanage ment of this line is disgraceful. People are becoming afraid to travel on it.

Sweeping Changes in the Times Office

The rumor about changes in the Times is quite correct. There has been a clean sweep made of all the old hands, from the manager right down to the collector and canvasser. Mr McKenzie, late manager, remains on the staff in some new capacity if he chooses. The overseer of the composing room got a week's notice ; ditto the maker up of the weekly ; ditto the book-keepers ; ditto both reporters. All were good men, steady, competent, and reliable, and not to be improved upon very easily. It is understood that the concern will henceforth be managed by Messrs R. J. Creighton and Alfred Scales. These whole sale changes are deemed unwise, and very much sympathy is expressed for those who have been so summarily dismissed. It is not improbable that the outcome of all this will be a penny morning paper. There are plenty of presses and material laying idle in town. The original programme of the paper not having been carried out, many of the share holders are dissatisfied—a good many have sold out, and those who are in feel like the owner of a white elephant, tryiDg to domes ticate him. Things are not at all nice, and are pretty generally regarded as a muddle, which can only be put right by still more changes. Several of those who have to leave here have been in the office fourteen and fifteen years, and are good men.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. The Ashley Railway Bridge. The Ashley railway bridge was tested yesterday by Mr Tripbrook, engineer to the General Government. The test consisted of pushing the trucks, containing thirty tons of metal, over the bridge. The engine also took a number of trucks across, running the dis tance of 3060 feet in one minute and a quar ter. The trial is considered very satisfac tory. Railway Statement. In the Provincial Council last night the Secretary ofjPublic Works made a statement relative to the present position of railways.

The Sheepstealing Case. In the Supreme Court, Fowler, charged with sheep stealing, was acquitted without the jury leavine the box.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent). This day. The Railway Progress.—Canterbury v.

Otago The Guardian commenting on Mr Rolles ton's address refers in commendatory terms to the great progress of rail way making in Canterbury which it contrasts with the slowness exhibited in Otago, while it has cau=e to believe that the class of immigrants assigned to Otago is not so generally suitable as those sent to Canterbury. It hopes Mr Macandrew will be able to make a similarly cheering statements as Mr JRolleston re immigration. Crowded. Reformatory. The Times alluding to the crowded state of the reformatory where there are now over 140 children, when the place was only built for a hundred, insists on the introduction of the boarding out system. Tokomairiro Races-

At the Tokomairiro races on the second day there was a better attendance. The Publican's Handicap ended : —Envy, 1 ; Right Bower, 2; Sfcackpole, 3. The winner was led from the first and was never caught, though Right Bower made a game effort in the straight, and was only beaten by half a length. An accident happened to at first turn. He fell and injured his back so badly that he is likely to be shot. The Handicap Hurdle was a dead heat between Kildare and Sir Tatton, and was a splendid lace. Attacked by a Boar. At Pleasant Valley, Mr Patteson was attacked by a boar, which ripped him in a frightful manner, exposing the femoral artery of the thigh and laying bare the tissue. The Waikouaiti Election. Though the writ is not issued, canvassing is going on briskly at Waikouaiti. Choicewill be limited to Mr Rich or Mr McLean. The former has the greater chance of success. In an address to the electors he dwells on the importance of local representatives. He alludes to the neglect of its wants in the past. Re the abolition of provinces, he says :—" Although he should be glad to see more inexpensive form of Government than at present, he thinks it most unwise for the Otago and Canterbury members to interfere with the present form of Government until they were quite certain what they will get in exchange, as he believed that to suddenly abolish the provinces in both islands would be to endanger the land fund, which ought to be guarded as the apple of the eye. He was fully persuaded that a great effort was being made, under the leadership of Sir George Grey, to have provincial lands made colonial property, which result would be most disastrous to Otago and Canterbury interests.

OAMARU.

[From our own Correspondent.] This day. An Ardent Lover in Trouble

A peculiar case has come before the Oamaru Bench. A young man named Walter Hossack, well-to-do, was charged with being illegally on the premises of a young woman named Alport. Jt appears that Hossack is in love with a Miss Forrest, who lives with Alport ; and, though she does not reciprocate his affections and has for bidden him in the house, he persists in annoying her to accept him, and on Sunday broke into the house, from whir\h he was re moved by the police. The Bench rr served judgment, Hossack's counsel contending that he cannot be convicted under the Vagrancy Act, however imprudent and un justifiable his conduct may have been.

OHINEMURI.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Monday,

DEATH OF A CHIEF FROM-MEASLES. Wi Katene, a great chief of the Kiriwiris, has gone to his long home. He was a staunch Hauhau, and strongly opposed to the opening of this district, but the tide of affairs was too strong for him, and he had consequently to stand on one side and allow civilization to march in triumph on its way —past the threshold of his door. The hated pakeha will never trouble him more, for he now sleeps with the spirits of his fathers. The unfortunate chief, it is said, had the measles, and to cool his heated frame, the natives considerately dipped their suffering lord in a creek—the result—death. A great tangi is being held over his remains, and large quantities of provisions are being con sumed. I am told that 200 loaves are ordered for to-day's feast. WHERE PAYABLE GOLD EXISTS. _ There are now four distinct spots in this field where, I think, that it may be safely said that payable gold, has been found, and that in the reefs. The only thing that is required to give Ohinemuri a fair start is crushing power ; and, lam pleased to find, that that necessary adjunct to quartz-mining is about to be supplied, and that at once. The four different spots which I allude where pay able gold has been found, areintimated. Atthe Rotokohu, Karangahake, the Banyan claim, and at the Waitekauri. They are all in one line through the country, and extend a dis tance from the Rotokohu to the Waikekauri, of about six miles. In course of time, as the mines situated between the present gold discoveries are developed, we shall, in all probability be able to shew an almost un broken run of gold, more or less rich for over six miles in length ; of course it will take time and money to do this ; but I have every reason to believe that it will eventually be done. If any sceptic doubts the above assertion and is willing to rough it for a few dayß in the ranges, he can at any time see for himself. THE KARANGAHAKE SPUR. The drive going in at the Prospectors, claim, Karangahake, has not yet reached the reef. The ground at present ia very tight. A good deal of water is making from the face of the drive, which fact is generally con sidered by miners that the reef is not very far off. When the reef is cut I believe it is the intention of the shareholders to send a trial parcel of stone to one of the Thames batteries. Great importance will be attached to this trial, for on the result will, to a great extent, depend the progress of Ohinemuri. A test lately made by JMJr. Masters, of the Thames reduction works, of stone from this mine is only so far satisfactory as to prove that it is gold-bearing. A ton or twenty tons of similar stone crushed at a battery might not run half an ounce to the toD. Small tests are very deceptive, and have led many astray, as unfortunately numbers can testify from sad experience. Two claims in the immediate vicinity of the prospectors j are unfortunately mixed up with the un- I lawful issuing of miners' rights-question,

and, consequently, are at a stand-still until that vexed question IS settled, which it is to be boped that it will be, and that very speedily. The claims concerned are No 1 South, and a block claim to the east ward called the Pai o Hauraki. Upon this claim there is an i D junction. In the All Mations, or No. 1 North, blasting operations are being carried on, the drive penetrating through hard ground. The prospectors reef is expected to be cut very shortly, in all probability some time this week. THE WAITEKAURI. Encouraging ftews is to hand from the Waitekauri. Leahy's party are reported to have a good show of gold in the reef, and also the Golden Point claim. The surround ing ground is all pegged out, and mining operations are being vigorously earned on Between this locality and JVi_ckaytown is the Crown claim, taken up by Messrs _° Dt>y and Clarkson ; they have a good sized reet in haijd showing gold. Mr Clarkson is the manager of the mine, and I hear that it is intended to erect a battery to b woiked by a water-wheel, there being a good ait*, and a never ceasing supply of water quite handy. The owners of the Crown Claim are well satisfied with their prospects, and the reader may be sure that when those, who have worked amongst such rich gold as that discovered in Hunt's celebrated Shot over Claim at the Thames, are satisfied with the prospect-, tbat it must be pretty good.
