OAMARU..

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Scene in the Oamaru Licensing Court

The Licensing Court sat on Tuesday and Wednesday. The teetollers, after a great struggle, presented a memorial with 210 sig natures, which was not received, as such signatures were insufficient,and wererejected, as also the objections to the licenses, because not lodged early enough. A nice scene occurred in Court between two lawyers. Mr Julius made most personal comments on Mr. O'Meagher's mode of con ducting cases the first day, which drew forth laughter from the crowd in Court, but not from the Bench. He said Mr. O'Meagher should have a patent stopped lemonade bottle down his throat, so that his virtuous indignation might be kept' down until some person knocked in the plug and Ist gas out at the proper time.

Mr. O'Meagher replied in a severe but dignified speech. He said Mr Julius had been personally abusive without a shadow of reason, and it was beneath the dignity of the bar to address remarks ostensibly to the Bench, but really intended for editors and the admiration of the mob outside the rails of the court. The remark about the stopper was vulgar chaff, and Mr Julius had looked round for, and was more pleased with the ill suppressed titters of the mob, than the ap proving smile of the Bench. He warned Mr Julius that he might go too far, and said the reason was obvious to the court why he did not retort in a manner which would be un pleasant to Mr Julius.

Next day Mr Julius was about to allude to the retort when the chairman said it would be more agreeable to the Bench to have no reference to the former days proceedings. Mr O'Meagher said he had a reputation in the Court, an attack upon which he should always resent. It is generally considered that Mr Julius' personal attack was most intemperate and in bad taste. Mr O'Meagher's reply was dignified and gentlemanly. All applications but one were granted. Yesterday was a close holiday and Presby terian fast day.

THE WAIL OF A MARTYR: WRITTEN IN AGONY.

[One of our staff has been grumpy all day, and has declined to move out of doors. At times a sound of what seemed very like bad language has issued from his " den." In answer to repeated applications for " copy," he has sent in the following ravings] :—

" Good morning" did you say ? Hope I'm well, do you ? It isn't a good morning, for its going to rain, and I'm not well, thank you. Going' for a walk, are you ? and want me to come with you eh ? Don't insult a man when he's down. Is'nt it quite enough to come down town and suffer the tortures of the damned all the morning, without a fellow coming to you, and exulting over your misery, and asking you to come for a walk ? There you needn't take offence and go off like that. Just sit down and I'll let off what I've been bursting to all day. Look here, I've been in this place three years, and for the last two years I've not known what it is to have a day's ease. On the contrary, I've been miserable from morn till dewyjeve, else am I a shotten herring. I've alienated all my friends, embittered my enemies, made my children dread my coming, spoilt my wife's temper, and generally made myself a nuisance to myself and ev^ry one else. Why ? What for ? Don't be in a hurry. I could forgive a man who steals a loaf or robs a till; the man may be in want : I could look with leniency upon a garrotter, for the poor fellow may have no other means of get ting a living : a murderer may not be half so bad as he is painted, for he may not have intended te go so far if the stupid victim had HQt resisted : when I get out of a 'buss and give the driver a fourpenny-piece for a threepenny fare I might perhaps — I won't say this with aertainty—be led to believe him when he says he hasn't got a penny change : even when my landlady cuts down my candles and waters my grog I might be per suaded to look over it. —I look upon these things as trifles, yea, trifleß light as air, but, sir, there is that within me which, when you're told, will make your very flesh creep. Now, don't get frightened and look like that : you are here now and the door's locked, and you'll have to hear it. Let me come close to you ; closer yet ? know that for two long years I have suffered from tight boots. Suffered ? Ah, more than ever inquisitorial victim. Scarcely a day, ah, scarcely an hour but I have invoked curses on the head of that infernal boot maker. Why not not go to another you say ? Do you take me for an idiot ? No ! though I hate the very city that contains the street in which the bouse is situate in which the fellow lives : though I could never forgive him the evils he has brought upon me, not even if he brought me all the gold of Ohinemuri ; no.—l am bound to him for life. What obligation am I under to him? None. The man tells me he is fast coming to my fit. I believe him, that is if he doesn't kill me first. And don't you see itp only a toss up aboub this, whereas its ten to one if I went to anybody else I should have all my sufferings over again. Mo, I'll see it out now, yea, to the bitter last. In a year or two—and this is my consolation—l shall either find rest in my boots or in my grave. Good by c Smith, and when you get angry with me another time, think of my affliction, and pity me.

Sudden Death.

A poor man named Robert Savage, about forty-four years of age, died suddenly yes terday afternoon on the premises of Messrs Brown, Barrett and Co., of High-street. The deceased was a person of intem perate habits, and had often listen to the words —ten shillings' and costs— until they had become as ineffectual as the '' tinkling of a bell." The unfortaHate man however, had been employed in the warehouse of the before-mentioned firm, and possibly was really making an effort to re form and get a head of his old propensities. He was discovered by Mr W. F. Scott in a dying Btate, as disclosed in the evidence ; he was removed into the open air, gave one or two groans and expired. Serjeant O'Connor OH being made aware of the circumstance was promptly in attendance, and had the body removed to the hotel to await the coroner's inquest. ITITTT* T\T/MTTinnn

THE INQUEST.

The inquest was held on the body this after noon at the Auckland Hotel, before C. F. Goldsbro' Esq., corooer, and a jary, Mr George Alexander, foreman. The jury viewed the body. Mary O'Hanrahan deposed that she was married, residing in Victoria-quadrant; knew the deceased, JRobert Savage, he was generally ailing and frequently complained of pains in his heart, spoke to him yesterday in the afternoon for the last time; he said he should be home at night. He seemed as well as ususal; saw him no more alive. pHe had lodged at her house, but left |three weeks ago. Could not say whether he had been drinking lately. Had seen and' recognised the body as that of . Savage; knew no more of him, To a juryman : He was in her debt, owed her £6 for board and lodging. William Erancis Scott deposed that he was in the employ of Brown Barrett and Co., of High-street; he was engaged in the store as a labourer. He was sober during the few days. He worked well apparently. He did not hear him complain of illness; He left about, half-past four. He went io the water-closet, where he stayed about1 ten minutes. He found de ceased in a sitting posture on the floor. Another workman, James Brady, came to deceased and helped to raw© him, He made

no answer, but made a groan, as though he was dying. He dropped his head pn wit ness's arm, gave another groan and died. Mr Barrett sent for the police, and Sergeant O'Conner came, Witness got some brandy, but life had gone. The body was then removed to the Auckland Hotel. He was not under the influence of drink; nor had he any heavy lifting that day. James Brady, storeman, in the employ ment of Brown, Barrett and Co., corrobo rated the evidence of the previous witness. Dr. Ellis said death resulted from disease of the heart, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly.

SUPREME COURT.

IN BANKRUPTCY. Me George Thorne Jtitii

This case, which has been so long before the Court, was called for hearing this after noon at two o'clock.

Mr MacCormick appeared for the Bank of New South Wales the opposing creditors; and Mr Whitaker for the bankrupt.

Mr MacCo-imick said that that the bank rupt had now furnished the accounts he had been ordered to by Sir George Arney, and he belkved the examination would now be a short one. He though the should be able to prove from a few facts that the bankrupt was not entitled to his dis charge, inasmuch as he was insolvent on the 3rd Jenuary, irrespective of the wool transaction.

Mr MacCormick made some remarks con demnatory of the bankrupt's way of making out his accounts.

His Honor said it could not be expected that a debtor would make out his accounts in tho way his creditors wished. He had looked through the accounts and thought they were as intelligible as any he had ever seen.

|$.His Honor said he bad taken special pains to make himself acquainted with the details of the case.

The fresh report furnished by the Trustee was then read.
