DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

(Before F. D. Fenton, Esq., District Judge.) W. J. OAWKWBLL V. JAMES FOLEY.

Claim, £62 7a 6d. Mr Laisbley for plaintiff stated that a iudpment in this case had been obtained in. Ansust of last year, when defendant, who| was a publican at Ooromandel, paid a small ' sum off the original amount, but had paid none since. Defendant did not appear, nor was he^ represented by counsel. j Mr Laishley said that plaintiff did not wish to be hard upon defendant. His Honor made an order for payment m a fortnight, with costs £2 12s 6d.

ROBERT STEVENSON V. ANTHONY d. OLDMEI/D. Claim, £22 17s 3d, goods. Mr Connell for plaintiff. Adjourned for a fortnight. GUORGE KITCHEN V. WILLIAM BLEWDEN.

Claim, £35 This was a claim for balance of work and labour done in connection with laying down and jointing pipes for the Auckland water- Mr Thorne appeared for plaintiff, and Mr MacKechnie*(for Mr Brock) for the defence. Mr Thorne argued that the plaintiffs claim was made under a contract for doing certain work, and at the end of a month; plaintiff asked for £50, when defendant objected to give more than £20. which was not enough to pay the men, and consequently! plaintiff abandoned the job. The contracb he alleged was for laying down and jointing 11 000 water pipes at Is 6rl per joint. Mr McKechnie said the declaration was for work and labour done, without any mention of a contract, and he objected to proceeding with the action under the contract, but had, no objection to the hearing under work and labour done. , ~.„ J His Honor thought that plaintiff cr.uld not go on without amending the declaration and making it clear; he would patiently listen if there was any chance of getting through the case, but he hoped Mr Thorne would well consider the matter, so that, after three or; four hours' talk, they should not find them, selves stuck in the middle, which would not be pleasant in these days of swamps. Mr Thorne said he was anxious to go on with the case rather than take a nonsuit; he would therefore waive the right of suing under the contract, and claim for work and labour done. , ... Bin Honor suggested that there would still be difficulties in this way. Mr Thorne said he would go on with tha case on a point of merit, namely, for so; many pipes at Is U per joint; the work was to be paid for as the work progressed. His Honor aaid there was no mention in, the contract about advancing the money aa the work proceeded ; if it had been men tioned, Blewden might have said, "Oh, I shall go to some one 'else who can afford tq do the work without making these demands. Mr Mackechnie said defendant was quite willing to pay for the number of pipes laid down at the stipulated price, but he was not willing to pay beyond that. I . His Honor said he would hear the case if possible, as Mr Thorne was very earnest in the cause. . j Mr Thorne said he must accept a nonsuit, Hia Honor Baid it was a pity to do that as the plaintiff would be put to something like £8 in coats, , I Mr Thorne said he would in a claim for 1017 pipes at Is 6d. Mr MacKechnie said he should then rej quire an adjournment to get his witnesses < to show how many pipes were actually laid ; his client had paid £61 5a out of the £76 53 for the 1017 pipes, so that there was really but £15 between them.

After a gread deal of discussion Mr Thorne said there wpb no other course open but to take a nonsuit for the presnt, and bring the action in an amended form.

Costs, £4 It.

AMUSEMENTS.

. THE PANOPTICON. ' The Panopticon, one of the most intellectually interesting panoramas that baa been exhibited In .Auckland, *as shewn for the last time on Saturday evening. We have been somewhat suprised at tne Bmall audiences which have been attracted by tne panopticon when we considered that Dickens fi works formed the illustrations, that a thoroughly competent lecturer, one who has read tho pages of _the modern novelist from first to last, and that Mrs Mitchell, our leading vocalist, and Mr Skinner contribute some or the best ballads of Dibdin and Carpenter, to the general amusement. The entertainment of Saturday evening was more successful in point of numbers. MRS. SEARLK'S BENEFIT. This lady's complimentary benefit will take place •this evening in the Princo of. Wales Theatre^ Tne •entertainment has been tendered by the metubera or the Garrick Club, and other ladles and gentlemen. The proceedings will open with the 'Miller of Der wentwater." in which a new star will appear in tne person of Miss Fanny White. A grand concert Will follow, to conclude with a farce " We all have our S LORNE-SLREET HALL. The grand variety entertain a. ent under .the patronage of tho Loyal Fountain of Friendship lodge of Oddfellows will be hald this evening for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the late brothers Smith and Mattison pe.P**™™"o^ Ward, as the management devolves entirely upon Mr Ward. Without enumerating the names of tne ladies and gentlemen whose afferent talents will be brought into play, we refer our readers to the large bill of fare judioiously provided for this charitable purpose. SATURDAY NIGHT. . . The Temperance entertainment of Saturday last was very successful, and the Temperance Hall was filled with listeners. The platform had been re moved, which had the effect of giving accommodation to about one hundred more persons. Mr J. W.^ari, the steady and consistent advocate of the cause, occu pied the chair, and delivered an appropriate speecn. bongs were given by Mrs Homer, Mrs Marson, mra CoUingham, Miss Ash, and Miss Gribble; also oy Messrs Jameson, Bedfern, Sceats, McKenzie, ana others. Professor Herr Butschkow presided at the pianoforte, and the Good Templar Band played several selections of music. The committee intend to r^ntinue their " Saturday Nights" at the Temperance HdL :

This morning about eight o'clock there was a little consternation caused at Onehunga by a report that » gentleman great in politics had been accidentally poisoned. A messenger was seen hastening after the doctor, and the doctor despatcned the messenger to one of the chemists for the use of a stomach pump. These horrid arrangements becoming known, caused quite a sensationr This was not allayed until medical examination had taked place. It then transpired that Croton oil had by some mysterious manner come In cpnr tact with the person of the hot member iof the political world, and made him for <he time still hotter, nothing fatal or even'serioua being likely to. resuit. . ,;

Alarming Runaway.

NARROW ESCAPE O£ AN OMNIBUS DRIVER.

A FBW minutes before one o'clock to-day the corner at the junction of Victoria-street and Qaeen-street was the scene of a frightfully dangerous acccident, which everyone who witnessed it thought would certainly end in a catastrophe. A s George Jobson, the drive r of one of Mr Frank Quick's Ponsonby omnibuses, was bringing his vehicle into town, a baker's cart ran agaiust his horses at the crossing at Chapel-street, and broke the pole The collision startled Jobson s horses, aad the breakage of the pole having deprived him of all control over teem, they set oil down Victoria-street at a terrific pace; threatening destruction] to anything that! came in their way. There was only one passenger, a gentleman, in the omnibus a<i the time of the accident, and fortunately for himself he jumped out at once. Jobson, however, stuck to his horses, and though he waa powerless to arrest their mad career,' he held fast to the reins while the vehicje thundered down into Queen-street. Past the line of expresses and carts at the bottom of hiil they sped, without having as yet co™ into collision with any obstacle. At the corner by the Union Bank another omnibus was just on the point of starting, and but that the driver was warned in time, would have.just moved off in time to oppose Ibsel to the runaways. Arrived in Queen-sfcreet, Srsn^^rr« verandah pok gThis gave way, being dragged from its beddinginthe pavement; for another twenty feet, the vehicle now on its side was dTasged when the horaes were brought up J; the verandah of Mr Short, Here one of the patent cast iron pillars flew Sto bits, and bus and horaes were prostrated some of its blood on the pavement, the other Bomeoinsui bystanders soon re- W Hots an? ttS —c taken back tothe!•stable.

PARLIAMENTARY.

[From our Special Correspondent.]

WELLINGTON,

This day. Theee is nothing of special moment stirring to-day, being a non-sitting day. The swamp debate will be got through to-morrow, and then we shall enter upon the war over the address in reply. There has not been any great hit in the debate. All the members feel that they are in a false position, and that in present cir. cv instances the subject cannot bedealtwithon its merits.? Mr Whitaker said £35 000 had been' spent, on the block in addition to the a nount pi ' for the purchase. He said the apeech of Sir George Grey had alienated him from supporting the leader of the Opposition. Mr J. S. Macfarlane said the purchase'of coal lend, was carried out by himself while Mr Russell was in England ; that gentleman could not therefore be responsible for it. Mr Rees produced plans to show that the area of the Swamp had been extended. He made a good point of the notorious Dis qualification Act of last Session, exonerating all the House of past unlawful transactions. Mr Murray took occasion to modify the idea of the Swamp convoyed in his evidence last Session. He said he had since been over it, and found it not nearly so bad as he had thought. ■ •

The Ministry have been damaged by the debate, but that will not effect the result.

The loan correspondence is certain to ex cite strong feeling.
