J- t, ; Joy for plaintiff, and Mr. Eees for Wndant. f his w*£S an action for the recovery of £20 ■ \ ixtures removed from a butcher's shop in S' \ ncent-street by defendant, which the fol lowing evidence will explain. Mr Msrsden, solicitor, deposed to knowing three Messengers mentioned in the deed, the execution of which by the father and son he w&tnessed; he knew the butchers shop at the corner of Vincent-srreet, which was a portion of the property convejed by that deed in April, 1574; he drew the lease. William John Messenger deposed that this action was brought in the names of himself and wife ; his wife had an interest in the property at the corner of Pitt-street, on which a mortgage was held by Messrs Levy and Goldwater. The said property was transferred, from his son, William Henry Messenger, to his mother on certain con siderations, the preperty was included in the deed, which was signed in the presence of Mr Maraden, and that property is the subject of the present action. On the 20th April last he recoved the key of the shop from Mr Palmer when he was absent.

His Worship : How could you receive the key when you were not there. Mr Messenger: It was left at his shop, and when he returned to his shop, the key was given to him. He then went to the Vincent-street shop with his carpenter, Fargie, and upon examination found that fixtures and articles mentioned in the sum mons had been removed.

WELLINGTON.

(From ©ur own Correspondent.) This day. Political Gossip. Ifc is more than likely that the assertion made bj the Evening Post a few evening's ago, regarding the disposal of the loan is correct, or partially so at least, although the Tribune last night says it is a misapprehen sion, as no such information has reached the colony, and the public had better wait for further details. It says that Mr Voxel's connection with the loan ceased when he bad negotiated it, and that if it has not been laid ont to the best advantage Dr Featherstone, Messrs. Julian and Sargent are the parties to blame. It also denies the report that Mr Vogel went home with the determination to fix Mr Kennaway upon Dr. Featherston whether he liked it or not. It says he never had any intention of the kind.

The Tribune ridicules the petition of the natives to make Sir Donald McLean a 2s ative Minister for ever.

Theatrical- The play, "Much Ado About Nothing," by the Hotkins-ColvilLe Company, was well played," but its only patrons were in the pit and lower part of the house, the dress circle being empty. Mr Vogel and His Colleague. The Post says no better proof of the utterly disorganised condition of the Government of the colony could possibly be adduced than that furnished by the special telegram from ' London, published on Wednesday night. It says that was the first intimation the Govern ment had of the complete reversal of their policy of free immigration, and adds : " How lorjg will the colony submit itself to this sort of irresponsible Government by a single in dividual in London, and how long will other members of the Government consent to be snubbed and treated with open contempt by their absent colleague and chief?" It Bttongly denounces the return. to the pro missory note system which has been tried by all the provinces, as well as the General Go vernment and Messrs. BrogdeD, and always found to be a failure. The Old Settlers. gThe old settlers had a meeting this after noon to discuss their claim to compensation, and such a collection of gray beards and froßty paws are not often seen, but there was quite a lack of able and leading citizens. Amongst the gathering the chief morver in the matter was John Howard Wallace, an auctioneer. Generally the public attach no importance to the agitation, though the early settlers, every mother's son of them (and they muster strong), is profoundly con vinced that if he had his due, it would take at least a thousand acres of land to repay the perils and hardships of the e^rly days.

This day. Education Bill. The debate on the Superintendent's messages re the Education Bill was con tinued last night. After three hours' debate it was decided to go into Committee to consider the amendments proposed in the message ; but the Government are deter mined to maintain the new Bill intact, and they have a majority in the House to support them.

In the Provincial Council, last night, all the amendments to the Education Bill pro posed in the Superintendent's message were negatived, and Mr Walker's original motion that the Superintendent be informed that the Council could not agi cc with his amend mendments, and that he Cc requested to ac cept the Bill in its form was carried by 20 to 11. LuriDg the debate the members of the Government were repeatedly charged with having broken their promises to electors, on the subject of Education, made at the last general election. Mr Montgomery, president of the late executive, indeed went so far as to challenge Sir Crac roft Wilson, president of ' the present Executive, to resign with him and test the feelings of the electors on the point, but Sir Cracroft declined Mr Montgomery, who has fought hard against the new Education Bill, and Sir Cracroft are both members for the Heathcote.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE THEATRE,

The pleasant and lively drama of "Rode dale" last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre was equally well performed, and received the expressed encomiums of people. The management however are resolved that nothing in variety shall be wanting on the stage, and, being desirous of gratifyingevery taste, have consented to a representation of "Romeo and Juliet," which will be per formed this evening. The characters of the moony-lovers will be impersonated by Miss May Howard and Miss Clara Stephenson, so that Shakespeare's conception of youthful i extravagance will be fully realised to the audience this evening at the theatre. Romeo and Juliet will be illustrated in the scenery by the hand of the artist, and the orchestra will play instrumental accompaniments, which will add to the enjoyment of the evening. CHORAL HALL. Miss Christian's farewell concert will take place this evening in the Choral Hall, and will no doubt be a great success. The pro gramme is one which cannot fail in attracting persons of true musical taste to the Choral Hall. We trust the weather will be propitious in order that citizens may be able to shew practically that they can thoroughly appre ciate the true artiste and accept that which is beautiful and elevating in melody to that which is meaningless and false in senti ment. His Honor Sir George Grey, a gentle man of taste and culture, has promised to' be foremost among those persons who will recognise the exquisite gift of Miss Christian. We have already referred to the evening's programme, but would simply note that Miss Christian will sing that splendid old ballad, "The Bailiff s Daughter of Islington," which alone, to hear in its purity, is worth the charge of admit tance The programme in its entirety is one of the choicest in selection that we have seen for a long time, and we confidently say that the concert of to : nightwill be a grand musical and vocal treat. We may_add that the celebrated tenor singer Mr■ W. F. Baker, who arrived yesterday by the Ladybird will Assist, in the concert by singing Balfe's cava- Una "Come into the Garden, Maud," Mr Baker will also lead in the Orpheus glees.

Hokianga News.

(FfiOM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT ) The sensation up this way lately has been the downpour of last week, which .has pro duced floods pronounced to be the heaviest known here for many years. The Taheke, the MaiTDgomuku, and the Waihou districts have all been under water, and only now is the country beginning to assume its wonted appearance, though the rivers are still over flowing their banks. The inundation was at its height on Saturday last,' when affairs looked very serious indeed. So far as I can learn there has been no loss of human life, but horses, pigs, and even -cattle have been washed away in no small numbers. I saw several carcases rotting on the bank of the river the day before yesterday. A great deal of g |timber has also come down : the force of the currents has been so great that in many of the; creeks the logs have been driven out to sea. The pakehas have taken better care of their property than the Maoris, who are by far the heaviest losers by the damage done by the waters. A report is current that a settler some miles up the river has lost a whole team of bullocks. The story has not been confirmed, but I think it is quite likely. The Native Land Court sitting is nearly con cluded. Everything has passed off very quietly, and although quite GOO natives have been hanging about the Court during its session, no disturbance has taken place. Almost all the blocks have been passed through.

A chief, known here as old Taipare, died in a very shocking manner a few days ago. He has been long suffering from the effects of hard drinking, and has at times had touches of delirium • tremens. He was sitting, on the morning of his death, on the counter of one of the grog stores, when he fell off, and it is said hurt his spine : he was taken up and looked after, but he died shortly afterwards. The natives made a great fues over his obsequies, and there was a magnificent tcmgi and war-dance.

I wish you would advocate the making of a rough road over the Mongonui Bluff. At present we have a good beach road between Hokianga and the Kaipara, with the excep tion of three miles.or bo, which goes over this ridge, which is about 2000 ft high. It is all dense bush and there is nothing but a Maori bridle track through it. The sun never gets-to the soil, which is consequently all in a, state of quagmire and nuid up to your horses knees. It is utterly impossible to drive cattle through it, and consequently they all have to bo taken across to the Bay of Islands. If we could only get the bush felled over the range for about a chain wide throughout the distance, it would do the settlers here an immense amount of good. They could get their cattle across, and reach a good market at the Kaipara; whereas now, owing to the im possibility of finding a market, many of the cattle are allowed to go off into the bush, because what they v.ill fetch after paying ex penses of getting them to the Bay will not repay the trouble of looking after them. •

WAIWERA (HOT SPRINGS.)

The new baths will be finished in ten days. Great improvement is going on. Another remarkable cure.

A Feat of Strength.

A strange wager was made today in Messrs Hunter and Nolan's sale yard, in Durliam street. In the course of some chaff two men named John Brown and fhomas Menzies, well known for tbeir physical strength, bracked themselves to draw a dray with 22 cwt. in it round what is called the trial trip, that is to say from the southern gate of the yard down the hill into Queen-street, up Durham-street, and into the yard again, bringing the load to the place from which it started. About 253 depended on, whether the Jfeat, which im possible, could be accomplished or not. The cart was loaded, and the task began. Out of the yard and down the hill and even along'j^Queen-street the strength required was nothing wonderful, but now came the tug of war. Up Durham-street is a steep in cline, and the men had to exert themselves like horses to get their load along. Meantime, over 100 persons had collected, and were thoroughly excited over the result, repeatedly cheering the men on when they appeared to lag. Brown pulled in the shafts, and Menzies turned one of the wheels Their advance was thus rather zigzag, but sure. At lentgtb, after stopping for breath ing about four times, the dray was landed in the required spot, and a ringing cheer greeted the accomplishment of the herculean feat. Neither man is much absve middle age, but their strength is unquestionably very great. The money was paid over by the loser with cheer fulness. The magnitude of the feat must be apparent when it is considered that the load is a'very fair one for a horse.

THE YACHT-RACE AT THE LAST REGATTA.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stab,). g IR I am one of the owners of the yacht Good Templar, which came in third at the last regatta, but our applications to the com mittee for the prize-money fairly won have met with no attention. The yacht is the property of a number of working men, and I consider it disgraceful that we should be kept of the prize, after running the boat at considerable pecuniary expense to ourselves. We are loth to go to law with the committee, but it is not right that we should be deprived of what is justly oar due. Will any member of the committee inform me on what grounds we are kept out of the prize ? I am , &c, Joseph Walshaw.

They were met at Te Waharoa entrance by an immense concourse of native be longing to Te Takehe, Ketorua, and Maketu. There was a considerable amount of ill-feeling between the different sections of the tribes, which has how passed away. This is entirely owing to the judicious management of Mr. Hamlin, our Resident Magistrate, who brought to bear a know ledge of the native character possessed by a few. The guns which were loaded with ball a few weeks ago to revenge a fancied wrong have now been fired in token of renewed friendship between two of the leading tribes of Te Arawa.
