At ■ the last moment,' through pressure of oth-r-matter, we'are cbmpelled to hold over untijl to-morrowia'leading article! upon-the visit of the three Commissioners. We would •direct attention to the report, which appears in another column, of their interview with His I Honor the Superintendent. Vairious local matters, and .letters from-, "N." and; •f Mechanic," received top late, for,insertion tb-day, will appear in to,-morrow'B issue.

It will be in the recollection of our. readers that jhia Hoppr, the Superintendent: ; recently appointed a number of gentleir(eh'] t'd a'ct'^s; t.ustee^.'bf the'cemetery^: generally known a8 the }We_l_yan;:?biir^][':!.}ig'iCoui4di .'with' full' power "to' oharge fees and-exercise, general control with the object of providing revenue for,: the. purpose of putting-; and: keeping the grourid; in .respectable -orde_. ' The,; trustees have,; collected subscriptions, and have laid> put money in walks, draining, .and fencing, and other1, minor improvements. They J also called for tenders for the erection, bf a stone wall, fronting Symonds-Btreetj but the lowest tender'wai.at a figure which the ! ,t a*ii o a i •.■■■ , i '

subscriptions did not warrant them in accept ing. They have, however, succeeded in purchasing a handsome pair of iron gates from the General Government, at a small price, and, with the assistance of his Honor the Superintendent, have obtained from tbe Provincial authorities the promise of ma terials for the stone wall from the Mount Eden Gaol quarry, subject only to the ex pense of carting. A great saving having thus been effected, the committee are now about to call for tenders for cartirig, and the erection of the wall and gates, the material being provided ; bufc the money which they have at their disposal, only about £170 or £ISO, will not be sufficient for this purpose, and for laying out the ground. At least £100 more must be obtained to put the com mittee in a position to complete the much needed improvements. These who have not yet subscribed towards this commendable object should send in their contributions at once to any of the trustees or collecting com mittee. It is ceitainly not fair to those gen tlemen, whose services are gratuitous, that they should have thrown upon them the trouble of making personal solicitation. If one denomination was successful in rais ing sufficient funds for the completion of the handsome wall and gatesVrecently erected before the Presbyterian burial-ground we are confident that out of the various religious denominations interested in this ground, to say nothing of those interested in it, who belong to no religious communion, this being the burial place open for all, regard less of religious distinctions—no difficulty will be experienced in raising tbe required sum, and we heartily commend the object to our readers. The trustees have also, by virtue of their powers derived from the Super, intendent, framed a set of regulations for the future management of the cemetery, and the payment of fees, to which we are requested to call the attention of undertakers and others. Due publicity will be given to these regula tions by printed boards upon the ground, but in the meantime they may be seen at the office of the bon. sec, Mr G. W. Jones, Hob son's Buildings, Shortland-street, who has taken a very active interest in this move ment.

The public have no doubt been somewhat disappointed by the mails for London being closed at 9 p.m. to-night in place of 10 a m. to-morrow. The alteration, with which the Post-effice department had nothing to do, theagentshavingfixedllp.nl. to-night for the Colima's departure in lieu of tbe hour previously arranged for by them (noon on Tuesday), having been necessitated by the rapid passage this steamer has made up the coast from Dunedin. As she only left Port Chalmers on Thursday at 5 pm., it was thought that she could not reach .Auckland before to-morrow morning, noon being the earliest hour at which she could sail again.

From some observations made by the Mayor of Dunedin at a recent meeting, it, .would appear that tho Municipal Bill to be introduced at the next session of parliament includes powers enabling Corporations to erect slaughter-houses,- At the meeting re ferred to, Mr John Douglas, referring to the question of erecting public abattoirs, offered a piece of ground for that purpose, situated in the neighbourhood of Kaikorai, for £700. His Worship said that nothing could be done at present until the new Municipal Bill was passed.

Mr Robert Sherwin, chief officer of the brigantine Zephyr, of HobartTown, gallantly rescued a lad from drowning in tho Yarra.

The Chief Inspector of Sheep, at Mel bourn., calculates that the probable loss of stock in Australia from pleuro-pneumonia amounts to £8,000,000.

Two little girls, aged twelve and seven years, were brought up at the Water Police Court, Sydney, for protection, in an un healthy and starving condition. Their mother is dead, and their father, who was formerly an accountant in the Treasury, has been re duced to destitution through intemperance.

Six young men, duly furnished with brains, powder, and shot, left the city of Auckland on Saturday morning by rail, and dismounted at Penrose station. They had formed a resolution previous to starting on the shoot ing excursion that each man would bring down, by unerring-aim, at least two brace of pheasants, or forfeit a brace of half-crowns. The young novices went forth, and having fired away all their powder soon after noon without effect, returned to Auckland without a single pheasant. What was to be done ? " Happy thought !" exclaimed one, "let us buy and tell a lie." They all sallied forth into Queen-street, and at a certain shop (nameless), purchased a brace each, and took them to their several homes and presented them as the result of their day's shooting; (fie!)

Agathos sends us a little incident of his last night walk by moonlight: —" How beau tiful on yonder casement panes the mild moon gazes.—Mark."- Taking my usual walk last night, my old heart was delighted as I met many a couple of Auckland lads and lasses tripping along arm in arm. Out of doors they expect,to be seen, indoors they suppose themselves hid from the vulgar eye. This is not always so. As I wended my way home via Hobson-street, my attention was seized by the shadow on a window blind of a graceful figure in a pugilistic attitude, whilst somebody opposite was trying to get a "sweetner,of life" before departing. As I walked on I could hear.the exclamation, " Np you won't !" which, I have no doubt, was translated, "do if- you dare.". Moral— Young men and maidens of Auckland, stand where your shadows won't be reflected when about to kiss "Good night."—Agathos.

On the subjection of Mormon women to the influence of the Church, the New TorJc Times says■:—" As to the Church and poly gamy, :it is safe to say that it is heartily supported by the women of the territory, except in the northern part, in the larger toWDS, whei'o the gentile population is large enough to exercise influence either by pre cept or example. There the Mormon girls prefer to marry ."gentiles," and cannot be restrained'by the Church. In the southern towns,: where the population is entirely Mormon, the women are never known to question the authority of the Church, and are led to regard polygamous marriages as a special means of salvation. ■

-. Mr, J. G. Whitaker, who has introduced into New' Zealand a number of Ah-e_i.M_ pateints, has shewn us to-day a very simple and j valuable power, known as the Hall treadle,, which is applicable to sewing machines,1" grindstones, circular, saws, and other machines worked.by treadle. The fea ture! in the machine is the.introduction,of a larg^ cogwheel, which greatly increases the power,: with a .minimum of■ labour. The .treadle can either be worked With one foot or bpth^ and as ,tiie. wheel is self-regulating, it is impossible for it to move in the wrong direcjtion.i' !A handy little break,;workable withi the thumb, stops the motion at once when desired. Mr Whitaker has arranged with; Mr Dennes for the Auckland agency. He leaves for-San Francisco by the Colima, and will return shortly with the intention of settling -in Auckland and carrying ! oh" the manufacture and agency of American notions.

Mr Faulder lost two valuable horses at the bridge on tbe old North Road, near the waterworks las. Friday. The road is in very bad order there, and when the animals reached the bridge with a very heavy load, the cart stuck in the mud. Two of the horses became re3tive, and in kicking tumbled over the bridge, breaking their necks. The Dunedin whaling ship Splendid has just had a run of luck, having taken 30 tuns of oil in less than six weeks. The Wel lington whaler Isabella, the last trip of which was such a failure, has been again fitted out by Messrs Krull and Co. The racehorses Isaac Walton, Meadea, Folly, and Gainsborough, arrived per Hawea to-day from the South. Tho son of Mr J". M. Meek of the Hot Springs, was bitten by a katipo or poisonous spider on the 24th ult., and his father in a letter describing the effect says :—lt was en the morning of the 24th ult. at 3 p.m., my son (a man of thirty-one years of age) was awakened from his sleep by tbe bite of one of those poisonous insects. The insect was about the size of an ordinary pea, and in color nearly approaching to black. Mrs Meek on looking at her son's back, saw the puncture the spider had made, and immediately com menced sucking the wound. I proceeded to tho hotel, and obtaiued the seivices of Dr Mohnbeer, when on my return with him to my house, my son was suffeting the mesfc excruciating pain in tho groin, the viius appaiently workingjits way in that direction. After an application of ammonia by the doc tor, the pain shifted from the groiu and woiked its way up the spine, affecting the arms and chtst during the remainder of tbe day, and lasting till the following morning, my son moaning with pain the whole time. On. Tuesday tie pain baca-ne intense, the virus working its way into his legs, causing tho veins to swell very much. We applied turnip poultice to the wound, and when taken off, a quantity of black fluid came from the sore. During the afternoon the paiu in the legs and big toes still continued. Doctor Mohnbeer presented a liniment which, after rubbing well into the legs, caused a black, inky-coloured fluid to emit itself through the pores of tho skin in large drops, from which time my son began to im prove, and has continued improving ever since but suffers much from weakness, From the time he was bitten on the Monday till the Friday following, he lost exactly 121bs, in flesh. When he was first bitten, I gave him small doses of brandy at intervals during tbe first two days, which seemed to have the effect of greatly relieving the pain. lam informed by Te Hemera, native chief here, and also by other natives, that many fatal cases among their ranks have taken place by the bite of the Katipo ; they also believe the sufferer is sure to die if they cannot find the spider ; but on the contrary, if they find it and burn ib in the (ire, the patient gets well in three days. To the Editor : Sir,—The Cross of this morning says that two or three ladies gave Mrs Wiltshire the assistance of an arm during tho performance of her great pedestrian feat. Several gentlemen did so, but only one lady, viz. Mis Dennes, who walked with Mrs Wiltshire nearly twenty miles. Yours &c ( — Eyk Witness. I The lower part of Queen-street is being trenched for the purpose of laying down the waterworjjs drains. Our citizens anxiously look forward to the day when the work will be complete and the limpid health-giving stream, the lack of which is so felt at present, will be sent with a continuous flow througb the pipes, like tho life-blood through the system of an animal. A sample of the water from the pond at Western Springs was on view to-day at the City Council Office. The water seemed good enough for anything, and was entirely destitute of colour, taste, or smell.

ARRIVAL OF THE CENTRALIST COMMISSIONERS.

INTEEVIEW WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.

Messrs Gisborne, Seed, and Knowles, the three members of the Civil Service, ap pointed by the General Government to make a tour of the provinces for the purpose of obtaining information relative to the work ing of Provincial departments, arrived in the Hawea this morning from New Plymouth. They proceeded with their credentials to the Provincial Government offices about eleven o'clock, and, his Honor the Superintendent being at that time engaged, were shewn into the Provincial Secretary's room, where a letter was handed them with an intimation that his Honor desired that, before seeing him, they should make themselves acquainted with his views as contained in the written communication placed in their hands. The letter ran as follows :— Superintendent's Office, Auckland, Bth May, 1876. Gentlemen, —I have received from Sir Julius Vogel a circular note and an enclosure purporting to be instructions issued to you, copies of which are enclosed. The Act which provides a constitution for New Zealand gives no power or authority to any person, not being one of the constituted authorities of this province, to enqnire into its finances, expenditure, or administration, nor to delegate such powers to others. The only persons or bodies who have any lawful right to make such enquiries are the Superintendent and Provincial Council, or officers by them, or either of them, ap pointed,' and to an extent and for certain objects specified by law, the Provincial Auditor. As the Superintendent of "the. Province, of Aucklahd, my duty to its people, whose re presentative- I am, and the responsibility' of Whose government I have at their request taken upon myself, forbids me to communi cate to ,any person or persons not legally authorised in that behalf, any information whatever, beyond that which I communicate to the public at large, unless I had been pre viously authorised so to do by a resolution of the Provincial Council. The provinces derive their existence and their privileges from the Constitution Act, and I beg to point out to you that by prose cuting the enquiries which are mentioned in the j circular note above alluded to, you are attempting to assume a control over the law fully constituted Government of this .pro vince which is both unconstitutional and contrary to law. . .

I remark that the -persons or body by which you are deputed to perform these illegal acts are; called in the circular note

\ " the Colonial Government),", " the Govern i ment," and "the General Government." These are altogether unknown to the Con stitution Act. and the thoughts and language bf the Imperial Legislature when that Act Was passed. 7,7 . ; 'The only governments known to this country are' the General Assembly of New Zealand, and the Superintendents and the 'Provincial Councils of the respective pro vinces. • I am aware that under the Royal Instruc tions to His Excellency the: Governor, that high'Omcer is expected to act in with- the advice1 of bis Executive Council, unless he sees good reason to differ in opinion from' them ; but I deDy the right of tnat; Executive Council to alter or : to depart from the rules and usages of constitutional govern ment^ or to usurp powers which'belong only to the Provincial Governments .or to the General Assembly in Parliament assembled. ---) The Executive ''Council are butthead

visers of His Excellency, and, with all due respect to the representative of Ber Most Gracious Majesty, I must, as tbe elected guardian of the rights and interests of the people of Auckland, be watchful that the authority even of the Crown be not carried a single step further than the law permits. The Governor has no right to instruct you to take the steps you contemplate. Even Her Most Gracious Majesty herself would have no right, without the authority of Parliament, to instruct you so to do, and most certainly Her Majesty would not sanction so unconstitutional and unlawful an act being carried out in her name, much less can those who are only the Governor's advisers for the time being have any lawful authority to authorise you to follow the course you are now pursuing. I find, also, that in the instructions issued to you, measures are evidently contemplated not only destructive of the rights and privileges of this province, but also actually opposed to the provisions of ''The Abolition of Provinces Act, 1875," should that Act be intra vires and good law, which, however,! do notadmit. I am compelled, therefore, to say that I shall by all Constitutional means oppose any steps which may tend in the slightest degree to compromise the rights, and Constitutional freedom of this province. I have the honor further to remind you of that rule of law which provides that no com mand or order by a superior will avail as a defence when a person commits an act in itself unlawful. 1 have, therefore, to require you not to venture to attempt to carry out, within the Province of Auckland, the errand on which you are professedly sent. You were appointed to the Civil Service of this Colony, and hold your respective offices in it, for the purpose of fulfilling the duties imposed on the.c offices by the General Assembly of New Zealand. You have no lawful authority for entering on the duties you have now undertaken. In so doing you are acting outside of the Civil Service of the Colony, and have become the emissaries of a single gentleman who had no right or power whatever to despatch you upon such a duty.

If, therefore, in defiance of my warning, and in breach of tho lawful a_d constitu tional rights of this Province, you enter upon or attempt to prosecute any such enquiries within its limits, I shall feel it to be my duty, as Superintendent, to anneal to the proper tribunals, in order _!_:•,- you may be individually or collectively dealt with as they may direct. I shall cause a copy of this letter to be sent to the Provincial Auditor, at the same time calling on him to decline to give you any information, or to take any action what ever, save such only as he is authorised and empowered to give or take by the law under which, and to carry out which, he was appointed to that office, and which law, moreover, accurately defines and limits the powers and duties he can lawfully and con stitutionally exercise and perform as Pro vincial Auditor.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, G. Grey.

William Gisborne, Esq., Commissioner of Annuities. William Seed, Esq., Secretary and Inspector of Customs. John Knowles, Esq., Under-Secretary of Public Works Department.

After reading the letter the Commissioners had an interview with his honor, in which Sir George Grey expressed his intention of refusing compliance with the request con veyed in the credentials from the Premier, which the Commissioners had presented. We also learn that a letter has been addressed to Mr. B. Maclean, Provincial Auditor, pointing out the provisions of the Acs under which he holds office, and requesting him not to vouchsafe any information not au thorised by law.

There is money knocking around, for there have been three dividends paid to local shareholders of the Union Beach ; and some of them have been spending their money, and spending it not injudiciously, buying up bits of land with cottages and small clearings, and generally shaking themselves down to become perman ent settlers in the midst of our beautiful ampitbeatre of hills With "verdure clad," which, to the,poetic eye, is far more beauti ful than those ugly brown and white patches which indicate deserted claims and the blighted prospects of prospectors. Shares are in demand in claims long since forgotten, but now being revived. We have no unemployed. We could even * absorb a few. People gener ally are waking about with a cheerful look, holjding their hands in their breeches pocket while rattling coin, which I take to be a good and excellent indication that things are plea sant. There have been visitors come among us ; and of mornings they are looking around them and making enquiries about this, that, and 'tother claim. The Union Beach has sot them reflecting whether it would not be a good and wholesome thing to have a few shares in claims adjoining, such as. the Palmer-ton, Black Reef, and others lying adjacent thereto. We have some tempting bits of arable land, some river frontages, some corner allotments. These will all come in by and by. They are not to be bought for a song. There is talk of a new saw mill for our kauri timber. We are not certain we are not going to have a local brewery ; we are ceasing to import cattle; we have schooners and cutters coming to our port; and we have a real steamer at last in the Argyle. Oh, but we Bhall be doing a stroke shortly. This what the Coromandel Mail produces in this morning's issue, in its cool, satirical, uncharitable way —always making game of what ought to be ranked among the sublime and beautiful. The writer says:—"We are a patient, hopeful people ; not cast down, nor long suffering. We prefer others to do the long suffering for us, while we eat, drink, and philosophise. There is a story told of a man who, being the owner of a cow, had placed her on a poor bit of feeding ground, consoling him self with the remark that «if she got but little to eat she had a beautiful view of the surrounding country. So it is with us—we live upon our prospeots. "It will come some

day my boy," said one of the hopeful rest- '■ dents only yesterday, rubbing his hands, " but you see if it don't come really and truly now it don't signify; for we run along un commonly well. I don't see anyone who does not get what he wants either at his own expense or that of somebody else ; and it will be all the same to the somebody else a hundred years hence." We remarked that it was quite within the bounds of a possibility that it might be all the same ahnndredyc-a s hence, but that it mightn't be all Jche same to "somebody else" a fortnight hence. As Professor Miers declares the earth is not likely to end for the next fifteen million years when, with the sun, it will fall into the planet neptune—there is plenty of time you see for Coromandel to pick itself up.

PARNELL ROAD BOARD.

[To the Editor of the Evening Star.] Sir,—l seldom or never interfere with the affairs of the Road Board, except by occasion ally giving my private opinion, privately, in an otf hand way, and wben asked. Now there happens to be a sharp dispute as to the best way of laying out the money which, as a windfall, has lately dropped to us from the General Government Executive at Welling ton, and as my opinion on it has been repeat edly solicited, I would just say to you that Robert Lusk, in his letter to the STAR of Saturday, has, I thiDk, given expression to the coa-mon relative belief here, in which I share, namely, in substance this, better "let well alone." The long foot-path from the Barrel hotel to.the upper post office is good. Possibly real- asphalt might be somewhat better ; but the difference would not, I think be commensurate with the extra cost; < or, anyhow, and indisputably, the limited revenue of the Board, at command, might be much better expended, very much better. The projected chopping off the head of the hill near the Barrel hotel should not have been allowed to lapse; our executors needed more resolute determination, or pluck; the money-cost could have been obtained; and I believe it would cost less money, if properly undertaken and gone at, than .the reckoners have reckoned. ■ The two narrow contiguous gully-roads there aie inconvenient, extremely ugly, and some what unsafe. Such a decided improvement to the public thorofare would have _ most certainly enhanced the value of all adjacent property ; and if the neighbours had any public spirit, instead of talking of "compen sation," because of the requirement of two or three elegant steps to their door, they would have been forward te step forward as extra contributors of solid hard cash for the work. And friend Crowther, who has as vet paid nothing, would, no doubt turn up the largest contributor. Of course he would. There only needed management. And again, there are more lamps required. For instance, from King's corner to Matson's gate the darkness often is dense. I have not said, and do not say anything against real asphalt, only that, under tho cirourastances, something else just now would be better. And as to the nig gardly notion of doing only half the width of the footpath, why, rather than perpetrate such a preposterous project, better, far better leave the thing alone altogether.—Drop it.— I am, &c, W. E. Sadler,. Upper Parnell.— [The cutting down of Parnell hill, and its junction with the Beach Road was un doubtedly the proper work to -which the 1 Government grant should have been devoted. But as we are informed the party which is now opposed to asphalt, and haß been antagonistic to every improvement of a per manent character in contradistinction to the system of patching and tinkering, was suc cessful in frustrating the more important work.-Ed. E. S.]

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. BarstowEsq , R.M.) TOPERS.

James Heaton, Mary Walton, Thomas Jones, and Daniel Vestey were all punished for being drunk.

THE DESCENT OE CRIME.

Susan Wetherill, a tall disipated young woman, who has been before the Court pre viously on several charges of neglecting to maintain her children, was now accused of being very drunk on Sunday, and also with having no lawful means of subsistence.

Sentenced to two months hard labour.

A TRIANGULAR DUEL,

Daniel Lonigan, Jas. Dixon, and Jas Hill were each charged with being drunk and disorderly in Symonds-strcet, on Sunday morning, and also with a breach of the Vagrant Act, in using foul language in the public, thoroughfare.

There was a third charge against Daniel Lonigan of attempting to provoke a breach of the peace.

It appears that all the prisoners were fight ing together outside an hotel in Symonds street in the small hours of the morning, They were all more or less intoxicated.

All three pleaded guilty, and on the first charge were fined 20s and costs with the op tion of 48 hours' imprisonment ; on the second offence they were fined 40s and costs, or 14 days, and a similar sentence was in flicted on JLorrigan for his exhibition of pugilism. ASSAULT. Thomas Ring, who seemed just recovered from a drinking bout, was charged with assaulting Constable Irwin in the execution of his duty. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Constable Irwin detailed the circumstances of; the offence, He was on duty in Queen street on Saturday night, and saw prisoner strike another man. He went over to him, and told him to behave himself, or he would bei locked up. When he had got a short distance, the prisoner made use of awful language. He went back, and attempted to take him iDto custody, when King struck him two or three blows in the mouth. The accused, on being asked what he had to say, stated that he was totally unable to recollect anything;about the occurrence. He was fined 40s and costs, or 14 days. DOGS. John £haw, Thomos James, and Mary Anne Watson were summonsed for having unlicensed dogs in their possession. They all pleaded guilty under extenuating circumstances, and were proportionately punished by way of fine. ILLEGAL DRIVING. Francis Dymes, a carter in the employ of Mr Mullaly, was fined 5a and costs for driviDg a cart without reins. Mr Barstow said Mr Mullally should em ploy carters who knew the law.

Daniel Hamilton, who had been summoned to appear for a breach of the Municipal Police Act, was. represented by Mr F. A. Tole, who asked for an adjournment till Fridiy next, which was granted.

THE VINCENT AND ROWENA COLLISION,

Captain Clayton having taken his seat on the Bench, the inquiry into this collision was resumed. - Mr Brookfield appearing for the owners of the Rowena, and Mr J. B. Russell .for the owner of the Viacent.

Francis Edward Hamlin was the next witness examined. He was R.M. atMaketu, and iat the time of the collision was at the helm of the Vincent. He went to the helm at the request of the master, a' short time before they rounded Stony Point. He' had been accustomed to steering nearly all his life.; Had been the master of a vessel him self, and could steer as well as most able seamen. After, seeing the steamer's lights he had the order to keep her away, that was to carry her head to starboard. This wos not their proper course according to the rules of the road, but it would have been dangerous to have stood the other way, as the tide was setting on shore very strongly, and there would have been a chance of the cutter going on the rocks. They kept a decided course from thhj.lme till the collision. He -was knocked overboard by the concussion and got on to the bobsfcsy of the.cutter. Heard the providore of the steamer call out, ,

"Hold on my _ good fellow," and th.nfc V°T hX Mt ABmf WaS CaPtain Sellars! said, "Who the devil are you telling to hold on? Let go." In reply to the steward he called back, "I'm affright, but lower a boat at once." He -was under the imDressinn that the cutter would sink very soon as th crash was so gieat. No boat was lowered For a quarter of an hour he was dra<W along in the water before he tried to set over the bows. During this time the cutt _r was sailing about at her own free will. He found out that there was no one on board from the way she kept coming up to the wind and paying off. He thought at first the men were on deck. When he got on board he took the helm and steered the vessel to a sandy beach where he put her ashore Just as he beached her the steamer's boat came to his assistance. He went back to the Rowena in the boat. When he got alongside McKenzie, the mate, handed down a tackle for him to get over the buoyß While doing so he said, "This is a Bad" affair," or words to that effect. He replied "Yes." He stood in the boat while it was being hoisted. Captain Sellars came up between the davits and said to wiinees " What the devil's this you've got to Bay about this affair?" He replied that he had said nothing, and then stepped on board the steamer. After he had reached the deck Captain Sellars said "What did you mean by crossing our bows ?" He answered they had not crossed his bows, but. had taken a decided course to give him room. Declinad ' to argue the matter any further at the time, 'No one waß drowned. There was a proper look out kept on the cutter, and it was ' to enable the master to do this himself that •he offered to take the helm. The witness was croBS-exainined by Mr J. B. Russell. | [Here the Star boy entered with so 1 weighty a tread, that the Bench called him to order and asked the reporter if he could J not be supplied with lighter shoes, as tha ; lad trod the floor of the Court like a ' brewer's dray horse. Mr Russell volunteered r the defence that the boy was only a "devil" 1 and so perhaps was to be excused. A voice : I " He is a very noisy devil."] * Cross-examined by the Bench—He could • not tell the exact time of the collision; it 3 was near seven o'clock; the distance from * the shore was three-quarters of a mile, j; Mr. Russell asked, the Bench to enquire J into Mr. Hamlin's competency to steer, as " the necessary papers could be produced.

The Bench thought it was unnecessary, as the captain's orders were implicitly obeyed, The evidence of Mr. Hamlin was then over. ■'.. >a

Mr. Brookfield said this was all the evi dence, unless the Court desired more. ' The Bench said it was necessary to have; the evidence of a passenger on board the steamer if possible, as frequently a bystander might be able to give an account of what took place immediately after the collision.

Mr. Brookfield said he would do all he could to get the required evidence; the owner also wished. to have the engineer ex-

amined

The enquiry was then adjourned until two o'clock on Friday next

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

THOMAS PARKER V. JOHN B. YOUNG. \ 7 5 Claim, £50. , 7 .

Mrßees for plaintiff and Mr Hesketh for defendant. ~

This was a claim for breach of agreement/j. the particulars of which have already" appeared, and in which the parties agreed to = a settlementjjby arbitration.

The arbitrator, Mr Eyre, stated that, after due consideration he was of opinion that de fendant was not entitled, but that plaintiff should pay costs of arbitration—viz., £6 6s. .; Special Jury Case. ' Alfred staunton v alexander wilson. " ," Mr Rees appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Hesketh for defendant. Special Jury : Messrs J. Courtayne (fore- ,'tf man), James S. Cousins, Joseph Cox, and : James R. De Courcy. '.'.' r.i I In this action, the plaintiff, Mr Staunton, claimed £100 damages for injuries suffered by him in body and mind in consequence' of a fall at the junction of Pitt, Hob- . son, and Wellington streets, into a hole which i was not properly fenced in and secured by defendant, said to have been the contract.-^ '< of the Hobson-street works. The plaintiff,'; Alfred Staunton, a storeman, in the employ■,.-; of Messrs Owen and Graham, had beeni. to Pitt-street Wesleyan Church on the evening of the 21st February, and, on returning through Pict-street he fell into a pit, which had been carelessly left unguarded by de fendant, ' ..-./,;. ,vn\ '■■_■.

Alfred Stauuton deposed that, he was a; storeman, and on the evening of the 20th,. February he attended tbei-service atPitt-: . street. On leaving about nine o'clock hoj.,, was accompPvuied by Mr Moore. Walked on,; the east side on the footpath. He was in« : tently conversing with Mr Moore as far as - Wellington-street, where he shook hands with Mr Moore, who went down Hohson streefc, while he turned towards Welling ton-street, when he fell down between _-' the path and . dray, and immediately, felt intense pain in his ribs. • There ~ Wete no lights, and it was very dark.- Mr Moore, hearing him, came back and helped him out of the cutting, which was four,i feet deep. Another person named Brock came up and rendered assistance. He should^j-j not have been so much injured had it not been for the dray. They led him to Doctor Bayntun, who examined him; he, had one -,^ rib broken, and was unable to pursue his em-' ?f -~ ployment for two -months. For three weeks . r he was in great pain, and was still in delicate ■health. ' ' "''':' "... .■;',.;. (Left Sitting).
