Denis Wright, who so narrowly escaped in Supreme Court recently, has filed a decla ration of his inability to meet his liabilities to his creditors. The Chief Justice Censured- The Post pitches into the Chief Justice for the severity of his sentence on Cameron, and ridicules the Grand Jmy for takipg up the ro!6 so often played by Mr Justice Johnston : also, calling the attention of his Hoc or to the deficient gaol accommodation. It says the charge was true until recently, but it is so do lotger, es there is now abundant ac commodation for the classification of pri- BOLers, and the Grand Jury ought to have known this. Bemarkably Heavy Sentence. There was a general feeling of profound astonishment when the Chief Justice yes terday morning sentenced Cameron to ten yeais' imprisonment and two whippings for rape. There were peculiar surrounding circumstances which caused the jury to recommend him to mercy, and the general public and even the legal fraternity to be lieve lie would escape with four years at most. It is well known that Cameron's antecedents are bad, and that he has been in gaol several times ; still, the feeling prevails that the sentence passed was out of all pro poition to the crime when viewed by the light of surrounding circumstances. The Chief Justice thus far appears to be as severe in his decisions as Johnston^ a result that was not expected.

Important Supreme Court Application

Injunction Relative to the Tairua Reserve-'

We learn that his Honor the Superinten dent has made application to the Su preme Court for an injunction restraining Messrs James Mackay, jnn., Gerald 'O'Halloran, and JohnGuiiding and the natives who formerly owned the Tairua block, from obtaining any grant from the General Government tinder the clause of the deed of sale which provided that 1000 acres might be selected as a restive for native pur poses within six months £.f!er the completion of the sale. The application is made in consequence of information received that Mr. Guilding, on behalf of himself and others, had made application to the Govern ment to reserve the only piece of flat land on the Tpirua goldfield suitable for a township, and that this is done in pursuance of an arrangement entered into privately by the natives .with a .'a&d ring, who were certain to make a splendid thing out of it at the ex pense of the miners, who would be made to pay through the nose for their privileges. It is contended Ly his Honor that the reserve (not having been applied for within the time stipulated by the terns of thedeed) has lapsed. The block was sold to the Government in 1872 We aie not acquainted with the exact circum stances which have led to the mode of issuing the writ, but have no doubt this will become known as the case progresses. '.I he applica tion has been filed at the Supreme Court, but notices are not yet served on the parties nsincd above. Mr W. L. J\ees is taking action on behalf of the Government.

LLOYD'S SURVEYOR.

It will be very satisf cbory to all interested in the building and repairing of ships at this port to learn that by the last mail Captain Clayton received intimation of his appointment as Lloyd's surveyor at Auck land for clashing and surveying slips. The difficulty of having lccal!y-bni':t vessels clawed at Lloyd's can now be obviated, and vessels of the character of the " Novelty " can ha' c the stamp affixed that gives name and fame, without being taken to bits for examination.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FOR LOVE AT ROTORUA.

A touching instance of conjugal love and affection ocenrred st Parekaran^i last week. It appears that a chief of Eotorua—Petera Te Pukuatua—has been visiting some distant relatives on the West Coast for the last two yeais, and dnring the time " fell in love," as we Europeans would say, with a lady of that part of the cuuntry, and, without consulting his better half, added her to his domestic establishment, a proceeding quite contrary to all our high church discipline, but exactly in accordance with the example of Petera's long line of 'renowned ancestors. Be this as it may, the first love doss not appear to have been a perfectly willing party to this arrange ment, for we find that, on the arrival of the chief and his company at Parekarangi (with in a few miles of their old home), Ani is seen to leave tbe house in the direction of the forest, and, shortly afterwards, a, pierc ing scream thrills through the village, and brings everyone to the scene. Poor Ani, overwhelmed with grief or shame at the approaching meeting with her old friends as the second and perhaps despised com panion of the chief, literally "runs up a tree," and, in the hope of ending her sorrows with life, throws herself from the highest branches. She was taken up insensible and bleeding, but alive, and carried on a litter of boughs to Ohinemutu on Friday last by a body of Petera's tribe. She is expected to recover from the injuries received, but whether this may prove a solace or the reverse to Ani's partner or his new companion deponent sayeth not. Judging from these and other Maories countenances, one would be inclined to hazard the opinion thatthemosttragicconsummationwouldaffect them less than the loss of their own import ance, which may be somewhat enhanced by the episode of Ani's attempted suicide. But who will attempt to measure the breadth of native eccentricity, or fathom the depths of Maori dissimulation and deceit. Torn as his heart may be by conflicting pa3sions and emotions, the true chief maintains the calm stoicism of a Mahommedan, and that inscrutable expres sion of countenance found only amongst Euro peans on the figure heads of their ships, or the wooden Saracens' heads of their village hostelries.— Ohinemutu Correspondent of the Bay of Plenty Times.

"NOBODY'S CHILD."

This interesting and partly sensational drama was repeated last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre before a select and apprecia tive audience, and met with a generous re ception. Having referred to this lively drama so recently we need not on the present occasion pause (.or attempt to enumerate its merits now, but simply state that its success was quite equal to that of the previous even ing each performer having done his best to render " Nobody's Child" in a pleasing and acceptable light. We call special attention to the announcement of this evening, which will be the much admired play of the "Poor Strollers," which gave so much satisfaction on its previous representation at this theatre some two or three months ago. The charac ter of Lady Camilla will be impersonated by Miss Clara Stephenson, and Maurice Warner by Mr. Collier. A great treat may there fore be anticipated this evening. We would further call attention to the complimentary benefit to Mr. De Lias, to-morrow even ing when a magnificent programme will be presented to the public, and in every point worthy of acceptance. Ihe drama will consist of an entirely new version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," illustrative of the principal scenes depicted in that once famous anti-slavery novel. The scenes, painted expressly by Mr. Williams, will exhibit views of the flight across the ice, the death of Evangeline and incidents in the life of the immortal Topsy, who " spected she grow'd." The whole to conclude with the Irish comedy of "Barney the Baron." The bill,of fare

therefore^willbesiTthcie-iPto^GU^^P lovers of the geninue drama to spend an hour at the theatre end fchow, by their patronage, that they rraliy upprec'atetalent, and in respect of V. c i-'r. fatigable lessee, that they are desircus of giving honor . here honor is eminently due.

The benefits the use of the medicines has conferred on several I have supplied it to, is really marvellous. Bead the following extracts of a few of the letters I have received ■acknowledging their efficacy, and judge for your selves :— " My daughter, who has been deaf for a number of years, Mr Hanhaford s remedy has entirely cured — John Gbby, Confectioner, Queen-street, Auckland." " I have suffered from deafness nearly 12 years, and availed myself of the best medical experience in vain. I have tried Mr Hannaford's, of High-street, remedy for nearly a month, and am nearly cured. Mr Hannaford, in my opinion, is a benefactor to mankind.—Walteb Howe, Moore-street, Auckland.'1 "I am so satisfied of your remedy's curative pro perties, from personal experience, that I have remitted you £5 l or a quantity to send to relatives of mine in Melbourne —J. Thompson, Oamarn, Otago." "My hearing is improving fast, so much so that I can hear my watoh tick at the bed's head. Send me another box of the various ingredients —Charles MoKeegan, Ghuznee-street, Wellington." " I have been under the care of that impostor Bosenthal, but derived no benefit from his treatment. After using Mr Hannaford's remedy for little more than a week, I find my hearing quite restored, so much so that I am c^ute annoyed at any of my friends speaking in a loud tone — Andrew McMillan, Maketu, Bay of Plenty, Auckland."
