have been solved. The correspon ice relating to this subject will be laid I . jre you, to afford you an opportunity of me in regard to it, if you think it ecessary to do so ; but, I believe, I have , ..cfced with caution, and have done all that ■was necessary to protect the interests of this province. The system of education in operation, though greatly cramped from want of funds, appears to be producing very satisfactory re sults. The Dumber of European children in the province between five and fifteen years of a»e, on the 31st March, 1874, was 16.718. Of these £8,265 are upon the rolls of the 140 schools which hay 5 been established, and ex tend to the most remote parts of the pro vince. The cost of education during the past year has been about £21,000. If a building fund were provided, the expense of the present system of education could be for some time conducted on an expenditure which need not much exceed £20,000 in each year. The subject of education is one of the very highest importance and interest, and in every way worthy of your consideration ; and I hope to bring it before your attention in greater detail. I propose to ask you to make provision for the ordinary Provincial services for a period ef six months, from the let of July to the 31st of December, 1875. In the meantime the General Assembly will have met, and we shall understand our future financial pros pects more clearly than we can at present. The amount of legislation I shall ask you to perform will be but small, consisting chiefly in the amendments of Acts, which shall be without delay laid before you. The constitutional changes proposed by Ministers, at the last meeting of the General Assembly, and my own opinions in reference to that subject, are so well known to you and to the inhabitants of this province, that it appears unnecessary for me to trouble you upon that point further than to say that any opinions you may think necessary to express in relation thereto shall be considered by me as Superintendent of Auckland with that attention and deference with which I shall always treat suggestions made to me by the representatives of the in habitants of this Province, who, by having placed.their interests in my hands, have made me feel what a deep responsibility rests upon me to move in all great measures with caution, and the most careful regard to their interests and future welfare.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before John Cosgrave and Thomas Cheese man, Esq., Justices.) A SECOND MILO.

Thomas Kelly was cnarged witth the larceny, on the 25th ultimo, of a bullock, value £10, the property of Charles N. Mar shall, of Wangaproa. According to the information the prisoner was charged with "carrying away" the bollock. Mr. Broham said he should ask for a remand till Thursday, when another man accused of the same offence was to be brought up. The remand was granted, bail being fixed at two sureties os £50 each, and his own recognizances of £100. WHABF RKSULATIONS. Robert Teague was called upon to answer a charge of not attending to the 65th clause of the Harbour Regulations, which makes it imperative for a driver to walk at the head of his horse when going down the Queen street Wharf. The offence was said to have been committed on the 3rd instant. Defendant said he had offended through ignorance. He thought there was no obliga tion to lead a horse over the macadamised portion of the wharf. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the Harbour Board, and wished it to be made public that the regulations applied to the roadway path as well as the wooden structure. The Court imposed a fine of 5s and costs. A WITNESS FOR THE DEFENCE. Timothy Hayes was accused of neglecting to abide by the unalterable law, which says that if a man keeps a dog he must collar him. In this case it appeared that this duty had been performed in defanlt by Constable O'Reilly. Defendant pleaded not guilty. The dog was'nt his. It beloned to a lady, and always followed him when he went round with his milk. Constable O'Reilly proved seeing the dog following the man half-a-dozen times. He did not see the man encourage it in any way. The defendant: Didn't I tell yew it be longed to a lady with three children, which was two of 'em twins, and didn't I tell; Sergeant Pardy all about it, and didn't the police tell me they would get a summons against the owner, and didn't they say they'd want me as a witness ? The constable answered these questions in the affirmative. The Bench had expressed their intention of dismissing the charge, when defendant said he had a witness to call in his defence. Elizabeth Sandall, being called, was sworn and deposed that the dog was hers, but she couldn't keep it at home, as the defendant encouraged it to follow him. Mr Cosgrave : In this your witness for the defence ? Defendant: Yes, your Worship,—(laugh ter). The Bench : You are fined 5s and costs. The witness, Mrs Sandall, asked for her expenses, which were allowed. BEREFT OF REASON". John Connor and George Bird were com mitted to the Lunatic Asylum on the medi cal testimony of Drs Lee and Bayntun.

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

(Before His Honor Judge Beckham.) M. S. LEEKS V., W. ADAMS. Mr Rees appeared for plaintiff. The claim was for £50 commission. The arbitrators had awarded £10 to Mr Leers. Judgment for that amount, with £5 159 costs. JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFFS. George Henderson v. Edmond Combeß, £48 16s 9d ; Winks and Hall v. W. J. Wild, £28 15s 6d, balance of account; E. Gibbons and Co. v. Andrew Robertson, £45 12s 4d. Defended Causes. g. and f. hair v. John wallace. Claim, £100. Mr. MacCormick (for Mr. James Russell) for plaintiffs, and Mr. Hesketh for defen dant. In this action, in which plaintiffs claimed damagi^' a common jury of four was. em panel^, Mr. William Cole foreman. Mr.\( %cCormick (for Mr. Jam es Russell) stated i J[\ case, in which it app eared that the wif^uf one of the plaintiffs w as seriously injured by a dray at Otahuhu in consequence of defendant's carelessness ' ■■;■;; The defence was that the accident was 'doe Mkl Hair alone. 3 thkiL ~• ■.. —r&n.'J&Sv/oi'l

Dr Philson was then called, and deposed that on the 15th August last Mr John Wal lace called upon him in Grafton Road and said that Mrs Hair had been severely injured by his dray passing over her head ; also that Dr Elmslie had dressed her wounds and re commended her to the hospital. He wentthere and saw her. He found an extensive wound on the left side of the head, from the angle of the lower jaw to the left ear, and another wound on the right side of the head. The wounds were dressed and stitched up, and he could not then ascertain the depth. He also found the second and third ribs on the left side broken. A severe inflammation followed with other effects. There was no fracture of the skull. A severe erysipilis set in, but subsequently the wounds healed and turned out well. The patient was discharged frotn the hos pital on the 21st September, but still com plained of pains, deafness, and weakness. It was a very dangerous cause, and it was a wonder she was not killed on the spot.

Frances Hair deposed that she was the wife of George Hair, farmer, of East Tamaki, and one of the plaintiffs in this action. On the 15th of August, she went on horse back from her house to Otahuhu. She was accustomed to ride. The horse was a

quiet one, and she frequently rode the same horse into Auckland with butter, &c. She knew Mr John Wallace, of Flat Bush, and met him on that day on the road. He was returning from Otahuhu, and she was going; thither. He was driving a dray and two horses, one before the other. He was walking a few feet from *the horses. She knew the rule of the road. Mr Wallace was on the wrong side. The accident occurred between the houses of Mr Buckland and Mr Thomson. He (Mr Wal lace) had no reins in his hand ; there was not room for her to pass. She pulled up, think ing Mr Wallace would pull his horses over to allow her to pass, but he went on, and some part of the harness struck her horse and made him plunge; she was jammed, and made an effort to go into the furze. Horse would not face the furze, but continued to plunge ; she was thrown, and the wheel went over her head. Mr Wallace then stopped his horses. She screamed, thinking Mr Wallace would stop before the dray .went, over her. [Left Sitting.]

Provincial Elections

Mr Ormond was elected for Hastings. He said that at the close ef last session he had announced that he would retire from the Superintendency, and then fully meant to do so. Since then proposals were made in the abolition of the provinces, and next session an effort would be made to carry them out. He was in favor of a change being made in the form of local self-Government. Many friends, including recently elected M.P.C.s, asked him to continue in office for the present and he consented if it was the wish of the Council, but he would hold himself free to resign if no change was made. If done away with in a year he would be in a position to wind up the Provincial affairs of Hawke's Bay. Me denied the statements made at Clive by Mr Buchanan that he had influenced tihe route by which the railway should take. He had done all he could to push on the Hawke's Bay railway, but left the line of route to the Engineers. He replied to the otler statements of Mr Buchanan, and said the worst kind of lie was one with just a little truth in it. He considered Mr Buchanan had adopted a very unmanly course in making assertions against him in his (Ormond's) absence. Mr Buchanan's statement that Mr Bennett was a Government nominee for Clive was utterly untrue.

Harbour Board Election.

The election of a member of the Harbovr Board to serve in the place of Mr B. Tonks (resigned) took place to-day at the Me chanic's Institute at noon. There was a large attendance of voters, and of the general public at ths time appointed, and it was evident that great interest was taken in the proceedings. On the motion of Mr Councillor • Cosgrave, Captain Daldy was voted to the chair, and in opening the proceedings, remarked with pleasure upon the large attendance. He said that the con duct of the proceedings had been left in his hands, and he had determined, to keep the poll open till three o'clock, The announce ment was received with cheers.

Mr Yon der Heyde nominated, and Mr H. B. Morton seconded, Mr Malcolm Niccol as a fit person.for the vacant membership. Mr John Cosgrave moved that Mr Henry S. Meyers wan a proper person to fill the post. This was seconded by Mr J. H. Layers.

No other candidates being-proposed, Oapt. Daldy intimated to the rivals that they were at liberty to address the electors. Mr M. Niccol was the first to speak. Although new to public life, he came before them not entirely without recommendation to their favor. , His business led to his being well acquainted with harbour affairs and matters connected with shipping, and he had- little doubt that such knowledge would prove of nse in discharging his duties at the Board, if elected. He wished to give the most positive contra diction to a rumour which had been set about that he was going in to serve personal ends — to get a site for a slip or something of the kind. He could assure them he had no such thought, but had an earnest intention to do his duty to the public. One of the things which he should endeavour to get altered was the Harbour Board Act itself. By that Act all the members of the Board but three were nominated. The pro portion wu abßurdly small. Then he

' should go in for altering the clause which re ferred to the makiDg up of the roll. Accord ing to the present atate of things any one who choose could pay his money five minutes before the election, and be eligible to vote. That was wrong. He thought the roll should be made up and closed at least some days before. A petition referring to this subject had he believed been once drawn up numerously signed and presented to the Provincial Council. It was referred to a committee and never heard of after. He should like to see the subject stirred up again. If they elected him he could assure them that he would use his utmost powers to promote the usefulness of the, harbour. (Cheers). Mr Henry S. Meyers said speaking was not his forte. He was a man of acts not words, and he trusted to prove his utility by his deeds. He went in as an entirely independent candidate without any personal interests to serve. A requisition would have been got up to ask him to stand, but he declined it as he did not think such things did any good, and he was glad to see they were dying out. He would only add, in conclusion, that if elected in this place at the Board he would always do what was best to ensure the prosperity of the port. The votes were then taken. Mr T. Henderson, junior, acted as scru tineerfor Mr Niccol, and Mr Wright officiated in the same capacity for Mr Meyers.
