GrBAHAMSTOWN. (PROM OUR OWN COB,K_BPONi»_NT.) This day. Sly Greg-Selling. At the Police Court to-day, Thomas Gillin was fined £20 for selling spirits wltheut a license at Puriri. A charge against Alexander Hogg, for allowing spirits to be sold on his account without a license, was withdrawn. A Novel Case. Thomas Spencer, the well-known chemist, and Frederick Mayho, were committed for trial on a charge of forcibly entering and ejecting Frederick Bennett from a house which he occupied. The former was ad mitted to bail—himself and a surety for £100 each, and Mayho self and a surety of £50 each. Ihe circumstances arose out of a dispute regarding the Parawai gardens, of which Spencer is landlord. Bennett occupied a house in the gardens, of which he was co-lessee. Caesin, the other lessee, surrendered possession quietly, but Bennett refused to quit the house. Spencor obtained the assistance of a number of men including Magho and Mason the baliff of tbe Supreme Court. They broke open tbe back door and- removed Bennett's fur niture on drays, and ejected himself and family, bpencer acted on legal advice. HAMILTON. (From our own Correspondent.) This day.

THE TAIRUA GOLDFIELD.

(RROM _HE ADVEETASBES RBSOB-EB-l [Per Star Carrie* Pigeon.] EXTENDING PROSPECTS.—NEW GROUND. Prosaoly the Richest Field ia the Colony. Taiutta, Saturday. During the last few days the weather has been brighter, with an absence of rain, which has enabled prospectors to get further away from camp than has yet fallen to their lot since-the field was declared open. The result of this is, that reefs or leaders have been found in localities that have hitherto received little attention,.' but, from all accounts, they will shortly be brought prominently before the public. This applies to the district lying south-west1 of the Pakirarahi range, or in tbe basin where The Brothers claim is situated. Yesterday, I went out with the intention of reaching The Brothers claim but, unfortu nately, not bei_g much of a busbman, I got astray, but this misfortune, of about an hour's duration, enabled me to come unex pectedly across two parties who are pros pecting large reefs and veins. Aa yet they have not registered, being anxious to give the ground a thorough trial so long as they are undisturbed. On the outskirts of the Puketui Lease a large reef has also been found, Containing a little gold,, when the solid stone is broken and pounded,, while the surface indication,, my informant states, aro of a very promising character. In this latter instance the party who found the reef are off to town to make arrangements about securing the ground. It is very evident from the above that THE WHOLE COUNTRY ABOUNDS IN REFFS. and that those which are auriferous are not confined to the locality of the Prospectors' claim. A spell of splendid weather like (be last few days would, I think, lead to the discovery of owe or more payablf reefs, that is, reefs which with a dny or two's wr>rk would demonstrate unmistakably pay able character, without the necessity of crush ing a few pound, of stone. Th6se who have prospected ond those who have gone away, spesk with scarcely one exception, as to the futnra of this field, and assign as their reason for leaving the district -their inability to secure ground which they tried, generally finding it was applied for by parties who never spent a day in developing its re j sources. If half tho reports that are ! circulated of new leads in disputed leases turn out correct, the field will prove one of the richest in the colony. It is with regret that I have to record that THE TAIHUA COMPANY (PROSPECT ORS') KNOCKED OFF ALL HAtfDS yesterday, and that no more work will be un dertaken until litigation ceases, and the lease is granted. The Brothers claim, as intimatd the other ' day commenced sluicing the creek, but at the time of my visit the boxes had not been cleaned out. Operations upon the reef had been undertaken a few days previeus, but beyond making an open face in order to drive _pon it. there was no change to report, the trials daily made from the solid quartz being very satisfactory. Another reef of a very promising character was found a few days ago slightly differing in its course from No. 1. . Good dish prospects can be washed therefrom. It is said that one or two paHies have made overtures for THE ERECTION OF A BATTERY, and to this end Mr Tookey is about to pay them a visit. The New Zealand claim consists of 20 men's ground, to' tbe south-east of The Brothers, and is principally owned by Maoris but wascr_dibly|lnformed thattheyhad taken some stone down to crush, and with it two em. 11 phials of loose gold, which had been washed from the casing. Gamble and party for seme time past have been working upon a large reef on th_ aouth-w-st side of Mount Pakirarahi. The body of stone they are testing is very large, and similar to that ef the prospectors.' WATER RIGHTS Capt. Goldsmith, tk_ Mining Inspector, and his assistant, Mr Bell, arrived hers on Thursday aftermeon. On Triday they wsnt over the water-Ttwoes. accompanied by the s.ppli__nt_.

Rees and Devore appeared for the prosecution and Mr Hesketh for the defence. The first witness examined was Purcell, a carter formerly in Mr Waller's" employ with the accused.—Mr G. W. Binney was next called, and produced tho receipt for £90, given by accused to Mr Waller in acknowledgment of the purchase money for the horse. He also deposed that after Mr Waller's affairs became vested in the hands of trustees. Nixon had been employed by him as carter' driving the horses which he had since seized and claimed as his own property. Nixon had never claimed tbe horses before the sale, nor objected to their being put up to auction with other effects in the .state.— The case was likely to occupy all day. -

THE WRECK AT MATAKANA

From enquiries to day there appears little doubt that the wrecked cutter ib the Julia 16 toss register, belonging to Mr Williams, ship chandler. She has been during tbe last fortnight by Mr Buchanan, Matakana to load firewood.

Robert Graham, Esq.., Auokland. .__,__» a. _i Dear Sir —I feel great pleasure in testifying to th» benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to that time I had been subject to attacks of Rheuma tism, whioh would lay me up for weeks at a time. The use of the Springs proved, after this lapse of time to have taken tie disease quite out of nay system, baring had no relapse since that time. Fo three months before going to the Springs I had been totally unable to mo\e without assistance from an attack of sciatica. My object in writing to you is that you may make this public, for the benefit o_ others who may be similarly affected, without know ing where to obtain relief. My experience leads me to believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacious fo. Rheumatism, Lumbago, or Sciatica, tha-. all- tiie medielne the Doctors can give, and only requires to be made known to become the great sanatorium for the South Pacific. I am, dear Sir, You-S very truly, Edwd. HONI-9. UCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD. ' TENDERS FOR GRAYING DOCK. Harbour Bard Office, Auckland. S_th r April, 1575.
