POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Before Colonel Nation and G. M. Mitford, Esq., Justices.) UNSTEADY AND HEADY. Before the tempter Alcohol they fell, Through loving beer and whiskey punch too well. Henry Davis and George Cathcarfc, two new chums, were charged with being drunk and fined 5s each. NANCY SWIFT. This unfortunate woman, with a terrible black eye, was again brought up charged with drunkenness and vagrancy, she being an in corrigible rogue and vagabond. Nancy said she was certainly drunk, but that was nothing, she would not acknowledge to being a rogue and vagabond. Mr Cunningham kindly explained to Nancy that she was essentially a rogue and vagabond in the eye of the law, she having been drunk three times within a certain period of time. Nancy bowed her head on hearing the matter explained in such a satisfactory manner. tf^On referring to the annals of the Police Court it was found that Nancy had been convicted of drunkenness and petty larceny fifty-nine times within three years. Nancy said it might be so, she could not say ; she would not dispute the correctness of the records. It was through her husband who neglected her; she drank to sooth her troubles. The Bench sentenced her to six months' imprisonment in Mount Eden, for which Nancy appeared grateful. A CARELESS FATHER. James Harris was charged wifSl failing to contribute towards the support of his two daughters Elizabeth and Mary, now in the Industrial Home, the sum of £5 being now due.

Important Deputation This Day.

OPENING UP THROUGH COMMUNICA TION IN THE NORTH ISLAND.

A deputation consisting of Messrs. J. C. Firth, F. Whitaker, and T. Morrin waited upon the Hon. Dr. Pollen, the Premier, this morning, at the Government Offices, Supreme Court Buildings, to urge upon the Govern ment the importance of making a road from Cambridge to the Lake Country and Taupo, connecting with the main road to jtfapier and Tauranga. Mr. Firth in pressing the application in sisted strongly upon the benefit to the North Island which this road would be. The distance was only 60 miles, and when completed there would be a complete line of communication between nearly all the principal towns in the Island. There were no engineering difficulties to be overcome, and the Armed Constabulary could be most profitably employed in the work of making the road. Mr. Firth added that during his recent visit to the Waikato he had been informed that all opposition to the opening up of the country on the part of the Ngatiraukawa tribe had beon withdrawn.

Mr Whitaker referred to the importance of the proposed connection, and showed that the line, when opened up, would act as a feeder to the railway which was being made to Hamilton, Mr Morrin said that of the 60 milesjover which the road would be made, upwards of 30 miles were over land either owned by the Government or for which negotiations were now going on. Dr Pollen said he quite agreed with the deputation as to the importance of the work, and was exceedingly glad to hear what Mr Firth said as to the position of the natives in the afFair. However he had re ceived no official information of the fact. He would at once communicate with Major Mair on the subject, and if the tidings were confirmed he could promise them that the Government would use their best endeavours to accede to their request, and get the road made as far as the JNiho-o-te Kiore bridge. The deputation thanked Dr. Pollen for hiß courteous reception, and withdrew.

There is nothing' I can say thatSviil enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly aU of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as . possible, manage our own affairs; surely, we who know and are interested, can do so bettor than those who neither know nor care, and whose Interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be tho same in the future as it has been in the past—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action ' among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure ; to put power into tho bands of tho people, not to deprive thorn of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them.
