"bargain ; witness did not collar defendant by the collar of his coat. To his Worship : He did not nse unneces sary violence in taking the horse. Henry Richards, bailiff, deposed that he pave orders to Mills to take a white horse ; but he was not to be bard on West Jake, but get the money if he could; MrWestlake was very violent, but he did not see a blow struck. The money was paid the next morning, but it v»R doubtful ■whether it would 'have been paid if they had not secured the white horse. Simon Wc-stlake deposed that he asked Mr. Pearce if he would be answerable for the horsesftwo were seized) until the next morning; he said he would. He then went to feed the borerß ; Mills followed into the yard, and said he wanted a written guarantee as thee was no witness to Mr Pearce's woids; he then told Mills that Pearce's two daughters were witnesses, as they heard the words of their father ; he only pushed Mills, when Mills pave him a violent shaking, but be kept his: footing ; he neither struck him nor kicked him ; he would swear to that. To hie Worship : I cannot account for the mark on Mill's face, unless he got it when he fell on the verandah, or when he was scuffling among the bushes. Robert Whisker, a fine young man of six feet dpposed that he knew something about thn affair ; he did not see the mill between Mills and Weatlake; but heard. Pearce promise the gnnrantpe; he saw Mills running avt'ay from Westlake ; be was taking a general survey of the proceedings ; saw Mills trying to get the horse, but Westlake would Dot let him, and told Mills not to get his feathers up, or war-whoop ; saw Westlake pull off his coat, and strip up his sleeves; Mill 0 immediately bolted round the verandah. Wi3lin.ni McNullan was called and Isaid : Your Worship, who is to pay me for my day's work. His Worship : Who mbqeeoned you ? Witness: The defendant! His Worship : Then he will pay you. Witness : Oh, dear ! and be went on to make the same statement as the previous witness. His Worship ruled that an assault bad been committed as defendant's own witnesses proved. He had thought not to give the option of a fine in cases where officers were interfered with in pursuance of their duty.. The defendant must pay a fine of 20s, and the costs 295, or go to prison for 14 days. AN UiXGBATEPUL THIEF. John Vassavdur was charged with larceny of four knives and forks, value 2s 6d, from the Naval Training School, Kohimaramara, on the 2nd inst., the property of the Queen, The boy pleaded guilty. He had sold the things to some Maoris. His Worship said that as the lad had fre quently committed offences, he should order him to Seven days imprisonment and twenty lashes. A STRAY JAPHET. Edward Lysaght, wss called, but did not appear, to shew cause why he should not contribute towards the support of his two children in the Home for neglected children. The defendant, it was stated, was away in the bush, and the cage was consequently ad journed until the 15th inst. This was all the business.

REV. DR. WALLIS ON THE " EMANCI PATION OP WOMEN."

A respectable and intelligent audience as sembled last evening in the large room of the Young Men's Christian Association, to listen to the E-ev Dr Waliis's views on the " Emancipation of Women" We were rather surprised that none''of the leading patrons, nor the gentlemen of the committee, Dot even the expected' chairman, were pre sent to welcome the talented lecturer. To say the least, the seeming neglect had the appearance of discourtesy. Mr F. G. Ewing ton, therefore, occupied the chair, ,;>\ in a few brief remarks introduced the ' . jarer. Dr Wallis divided his lecture into nix parts, each part forming a distinct though associa tive portion of the discourse. The first part was introductory, and showed.woman's posi tion in tho world from the earliest time, and how she had suffered the indignities of degradation and slavery under the rule of the lords of creation. Even men like Chry soston spoke of women in unnatural and insulting terms ; but now women were pro fessedly as angels on pedestals for the recep tion of the homage of man, until they changed their condition by getting married, which, to many, w&s a state of bondage. Tho lecturer then referred to the second part of bis subject : " Woman compared with Man," and proved that man's assumed physical superiority was to be attributed chiefly to his different mode of life and physical train ing. In savage countries there was but little difference, if any, in the sexes, and woman were nearly eaual to men in physical strength and endurance. The bead and brain was referred to, but a large head did not always hold the largest brain. The quality of the brain was of more importance than quantity. The poet Byron had a small head, but a weighty brain and a powerful mind. He thought women, in several respects, were superior to men. Men were more profligate than women, as the statistics of crime would Bhow. " Woman's Education," the third section of the lecture, was ably treated. He considered that women had been unfairly dealt with in the matter of education. Educa ted women enjoyed, as a rule, far better health than their uneducated sisters, and were no le3B fruitful vines. The marriage state was the next portion of the lecture, and in this part the lecturer made some forcible and telling remarks upon the disadvantages and slavery to which women are legally sub jected by marriage. When a woman married she lost her name, her property, and her freedom. She simply became the body-slave of her husband, and, according to law, her lord could treat or chastise her as he pleased, without the law taking cognizance of his actions. The concubine, as Dr Wallis ably proved, was in a far better position legally than the wife. He _ also advocated the removal of civil disabilities from women, and by giving them the franchise, placing them "on an equal footing with man. At present she was placed on the same level as the idiot and criminal. Women in respect of employment should be trained, aa well as the opposite aex, for those responsible posi tions in society which had been regarded as exclusively belonging to men. He was glad to see a reformation in this respect, and that women were now employed in various trades and callings; the action taken by the proprietors of the EVENING Star in admitting girls to the printing office would redound to the credit of that establshment, and would be remembered gratefully by the Auckland public and the fair sex in the future. The lecturer concluded his admirable lecture by Baying that the Emancipation of women would be of great advantage to the world; it would overthrow the despotic power which bad men exercised over women, and which was injurious to themselves ; it would also get rid of the notion that the great object of a woman's life, was to be a wife and mother; the dominion of man over woman had been tried for six thousand years, Geologists say more, and had proved a failure. The Doctor iv the course of his lecture referred to certain texts of scripture which to some seemed to shew that the subjugation of woman was in accordance with scripture, but which the lecturer aaid was quite erroneous. He made several forcible exfcraots from Mr Mtlla work and other writers on the " Subjugation of Woman," and sketched examples from history to shew that in many instances greater progress had been made under the rule of Queens than of kings. In the absenoe of singers, Dr Wallis brought his lecture to a close by reciting very effectively a Scotch poem, by Scotland's National poet, and which shewed unmistakably the necessity for the emancipation of women. The lecture throughout was characteristic by _ strong Scotch humoui;,, which .kept the audience id. a state,of continual laughter. On the pro position of Mr JEwlngten, a rote of thanka

was carried by acclamation to the lecturer, who subsequently pronounced the bene diction.

GEAFTON ROAD HIGHWAY BOARD MEETING, AND UNTRUTHFUL CROSS REPORTER.

To the Editor of the Evbnivg Stab. Sir,—! have bcr.n shown IWs rooming's Oross, and must say thai I am more disgusted with ihat journal Iban wfcen I gave it up twelve months ago, for I see a deliberate untruth in alcttprof its "Own Heporter," who st?tt s "no remai&a, were nrnJo referring to the r ross- Fnch as apr.wired In yonr (Stab) report of the above meeting." I say, that (he remarks as printed, were made and more also, which your reporter left Out,.

"We resolved to ptit the question to the Chairman, " Was the meet ing legaf ?" This was nut by a ratep»yersittin?iiext to me. The rt>ply wal? that it had been advertised in the Cross, and on hewing this we were nnnoyed, asit s?emed to have boon put in that paper so that nobody should know ■ anything1 about the meetiner, and the trustees have it al! their own way. A number of us then epo>o our minds, and vcur reporter did not put in his report. h*]f what wo" said a'efti«st the adver tlr'ng being done in the Cross, instead of in thu Stab I said fhnt the' Star was r.iad by nearly everybody in the district, snd by all thfi working classes. The reporter of the Cross looked as if he had gone to sleep, while this war going on, and did not appf nr to take a single note. In cinoUision I must sa? that lam still of the name opinion, that the Cross was not the proper piper to hs,ve advertisfld in, but the first no'ice should liOTe been in the Ptvr.—Yours &c, L IT G'Xln.

Tbe fol lowing is the altered portion of the section : " Certificates will only be granted to persons who have for a period of three years immedi ately preceding their application to be examined, or for several periods amounting together to three years, tho earliest of which shall have commenced within five years prior to such application, have been domiciled in or have served in a ship or ships registered in one or more of the following Australasian colonies—viz, the colonies on the Continent of Australia, and New Zealand, and Tas mania. Service in the coaafciug trade may be allowed to count." One of the most singular rescues ever re ported occurred (the South Australian Advpf tiser says) during the voyage of the JSTa Marole, from Fremantle. The schooner was running at the rate of 10 knots per hour, before a heavy westerly gale, when the alarm was given of a man overboard. One of the South Sea Islanders had been relieved from the wheel, and in a heavy pair of boots and an oilskin coafc was going forward, when he was knocked overboard by a sea which came over the side. The waves were running mountainously as he dropped astern, but the report was no sooner made than the schooner was rounded to, in the bare hope of saving the unfortu nate man. , She came to the wind under a press of sail, made a short reach, and was soon about on the other tack. To judge of the time on such occasions ia difficult but the master considers that a quarter of an hour elapsed before the position where the man was lost overboard was regained; A sharp look-out was kept, and on heading over an immense sea the voice of the man was heard above the roar of the gale. The way of tbe craft was at once stopped, and the man swam up to the side, and was taken on board. He had thrown off the heavy boots, but brought the oilskin coat back. A B C D E F at the City Hall.
