THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE QUESTION

TO THE EDITOR

55™ _I observe that my brother Knights of ihe clever have their feathers ruffled because I (inadvertently in "my advertisement took rwo words out of a leader of yours, anent the Public Slaughter-house. I beg to assure them that there is no one more desirous or more convinced that the only solution to the vexed question of a Public Slaughter-house is that every butcher should have a urivate Slaughter-house, and that under the Present Act by complying with the same, a license for a private Slaughter-house cannot be refused if the applicant is of good repute, and has suitable premises three miles from a uublic or other Slaughter-houso. I advocate the closing of tbe Public Slaughter-house, increasing tho salary of the Slaugher house Inspector four-fold (to insure proper supervision), granting licences to every butcher of good repute, 'and who is possessed of suitable premises with at least 30 acres of good grazing land, with a permanent stream of water at £100 per annum. (At present we pay £50 ) The licenced establishment to be kept under strict regulations, and a breech of which, on the first offence will he a fine of £10, on the aecond of £50, and the third cancelling the licence. The result of such an act would be that the public would have none but whole some meat at a less price than at present, as there would be none but energetic and active butchers who could keep a licence as they would each strive to slaughter the most, and the risk of losing their license would keep them up to the mark for observ ing the regulations. I quite agree with you that such a "glory hole" as at Newmarket is not to be found in any other part of the world, and that the sooner the same is a thing of the past the better for the health and the pocket of the community.—Yours truly, A. Dornwell.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

"QUEEN ELIZABETH"."

This excellent drama was repeated last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre in the presence of a large and well pleased audience Mrs Bates again appeared as the dominant cineen of England, who felt that she alone must rule the land once ruled by Alfred and the sturdy Conqueror. Mrs Bates was quite equal to the character she assumed, and ex hibited all the strength and occasional weaknesses of of Elizabeth. We doubt much, however, if the queen ever felt the throes of the tender passion, which she was supposed to feel towards the toadying favorites of her court. Mrs Bates's portrait of the queen was such as history presents, and perfect in all Its details. Mr Bates represented Essex with Ms usual ability. Mr Collier was equally good In the young Scottish kiner, and In. declamation —fearless and feeling—was a masterpiece. Mr Law rence, Mr Seaile, and Mr Burton deserve great credit for tlieir faithful delineations of the stars that clus tered around the throne of ihe virgin queen. Miss Lizzie Morgan was excellent as the Lady Sarah; and Mr Alexander, with his dark, mischievious eye, acted with due caution.—A change will take placo this evenim?, and the fine Shakesperean version of " Richard 111, or the Battle of Bosworth Field " will be presented with appropriate scenery and effects. Mr Bates will assume the character of Richard : Mr Lawrence, Richmond ; and Mr Collier, Buckingham. The character of Lady Anne will be taken by Miss Morgan, and the Duchess of York by Mrs Serarle. Mrs F. M. Bates, Miss Lizzie Morgan, and Mrs Charles Searle were accidentally left out of the cast in the day bill; but these ladies will appear as Queen Elizabeth, Lady Anne, and the Dutchess of York respectively. FORESTERS. A grand soiree, promenade concert, and ball will bs held in the Lome-street Hall on the evening of the 23rd May, for the purpose of celebrating the third anniversary of Court Zealand!*, of the Auck land District. A grand programme will be provided for the occasion, and to which we shall refer more fully on a future occision, „> EVERETT'S HIBERNICON. This popular company of players and minstrels have won a genuine popularity in the various towns in the Southern provinces and Australia by their splendid panoramic views of Ireland, with illustrative music and songs. The company consists ■ often artistes, including Miss Adelaide Stoneham, and Mr Charles Hollow*-, well-known to the Auckland public, Mr John O'Neill, the famous Irish comedian, recently of the Auckland stage, Mr Charles Wallace, negro delineator. Miss De Vere, and others. Ihe company are expected in this city within the next fortnight, when the public will have the opportunity of witnessing a really good entertainment in connec tion with the scenery, melody, and history of old Iraland- p AN ORAMA OF THE RHINE. This beautiful panorama was exhibited last even ing in the Devonport Hall before an admiring audience, who frequently expressed approbation and pleasure as the scenes passed .in review. The Rev Mr Bates and other gentlemen assisted in the entertain ment, which consisted of twenty-three views, accom panied by a descriptive lecture. A ppecial programme is in course of preparation for a grand variety entertainment at Lome-street Hall on Easter Monday. The names O'Bwe, Doran, Forbes, and other local celebrities will appear.

Inquests- This Day.

Aw inquest was held this afternoon a. the Red Lion Hotel, before Dr Philson, coroner, arid a jury, on the body of Joseph Bailey, who met with his dearh yesterday afternoon at the Freeman's Bay Reclamation Works. Dr. John H. Hooper, of Hobson-street, de posed that he did not know Josiab Bailey; a person called between two and three o'clock yesterday and informed him of the accident. He went at once, and met four men carrying the injured man into the Red Lion Hotel. He was then breathing; his last ; he was quite unconscious. There was blood issuing from his left ear, nose, and mouth. The skull was fractured. He subsequently examiried the body, the upper jaw was much fractured, and the face severely bruised ; no injury to other parts of the body : he did riot consider a, post mortem examination necessary. The effusion of blood on the brain caused by a heavy blow on 'his head by the fall of a mass of earth, was the. cause of death. He was a strong able-bodied man, Thomas Skellon deposed that he was a workman on the Freeman's Bay works, and resided in Cook-street. He knew deceased ; had known him four year. Was a married man, 3fi years of age. He was working underneath him at the time of the accident, in the employ of Thomas Lupton. Deceased was engaged at picking, at the falls, or ledge of a rock. The ledge on which he stood was twenty feet above the level below, and above him about fifteen feet of clay. A man named John Murphy, was picking with him ; it was just about three o'clock ; witness was working on the level at the foot of the cliff, when, on looking up, be saw a portion of the cliff tumbling down, he should think about three tons, and deceased came down with it and was buried in the clay. He uttered no cry. Witness immediately called out for help. They got him out, and seeing that he was seriously injured, he immediately ran for Dr Hooper, who paid immediate attention to his request to see deceased ; and at one pronounced him dead. He started with Lupton on Tuesday last ; he was well acquainted with the nature of the work. He exercised all due care, he was a experienced workman. He should recom mend that a man should be placed on the top of the cliff to see when the ground cracked, and give notice of the same, which would prevent accidents of this kind. Their was no one there at tbe time. Part of the operations are carried on by blasting ; he could not attribute blame to anyone. Deceased leaves a widow pregnant, with five young children, all girls. / To Mr Bailey, a brother of deceased : He considered the work as safe as any other; the standard height of works was fifteen feet.

Mr Bailey said that ten feet was the usual height at home. He had thirty years ex perience, and if chambers had been cut and legs left in the risk would not have been so great, as there would have been a way of escape. If a man worked over ten feet in the old country, he was liable to a heavy fine, moreover there was always an inspector over the -work to guard against accident, but bore there was no provision of the kind, and poor men were sacrificed in conse quence. John Murphy, and Wm Munro gave cor roborative evidence.

At the close of the above the coroner, Dr Philson, proceeded to the Star Hotel, Albert-street, to bold au inquest on the body of the unfortunate man, Henry Singleton, an experienced diver, who has been for some time in the employ of the Auckland Harbour Board. The facts are simply these. The Brodick Castle, ship, touched on a stand-bank whilst being put about on her arrival in this port. The captain consequently, with a wise precaution, procured the service of the diver, Singleton, to examine the ship's bottom, ant yesterday the unfortunate man went down for the purpose of making the examination. He duly dressed, and made a, careful in spection of the vessel from the waist to the stern on the starboard side, remfaining under the water for the space of half-.'tn-hour. He came up at one o'clock for dinner, and in formed Captain Thyne that all was right below water-mark. At two o'clock _he descended again for the purpose of examina ting the fore-part of the vessel,, but he had not been down more than ten mimutes before he gave the signal, which was immediately answered, asking if he wished, to ascond. No further signal was given by the diver, and it was thought proper to hoist up, which was accordingly done. When brought up, his hands were hang ing by his side, and the diver apparently exhausted. He was immediately jjjot on to tbe wharf, and divested of his <lress;he appeared quite unconscious of eveiry thing around him, means were used but t!aey failed jn restoring consciousness and activity, Capt. Thyne ordered brandy, but brandy was ineffectual, and the poor man, by the captain's orders, was taken on board the "Brodick Castle." Drs Kenderciine, and Harding were sent for, and on their arrival pronounced the man to be dead. The examination at the inquest now going on will possibly give a clue to tbe cause of death. We,hope to give the result in our next issue.

{_£_ EVENING STAR, -ATHBDAY^PRnrJJgW



[ADVERTISEMENT. ] THE LIVELY RALLY IN QUEEN STREET. To the Editor : Sir,—ln my perusal of last night's Star I came across the Lively Rally in Queen-street, in which Mr Linabury says, "As it appears to me you are desirous I should reply to Mr Rogers' letter in your yesterday's issue, respecting the late fracas In Queers-street, I am not at all afraid to do so, although I confess I would rather let the matter rest." I have no doubt he would. The truth is very unpleasant to some people. His letter is a tissue of falsehoods. As for his denying calling me a b Jew, lam not surprised, he is capable of denying any thing when it is to his advantage. He next says "He does not know whether I am a lineal descendant of Abraham or whether I am one of Lawyer Rees' lost tribes." I can tell him for his own information that I am a lineal descendant of Abraham, and am proud to acknowledge it, but I doubt whether Mr Linabury could tell you what denomination he belongs to—if any. He then goes on to say " That he employed me as his agent to bid for him, and that I was to have a liberal profit when the boat was Bold." You have got his version, I will now give you mine. After I bought the vessel I went home, changed my clothes and put an old suit on, got a coloured shirt and felt hat from Linabury; he said to Adams in a jocular manner, "He looks like work, don't he," referringtome. Ourintention at first was not to let the getting of the vessel off by contract, but get labour and do it ourselves. Linabury said " if you find she is not worth getting off take everything out of her, and bring them to town, there is enough in her to fetch what she cost, and then leave a good profit." Sergeant Jeffrey said to Linabury, " do you think you will make anything out of the boat ?" He" said "we shall." Jeffrey then said 'to me, «'Are you in with It Rogers," I told him I was ; he said, ' I am glad of that, it will give you a good start." I paid the travelling expenses for the captain and myself. It i 3 now two months ago. Now, Mr Editor, I leave you to judge whether mine was the work of a com mission agent or not. By inserting the above, you will oblige, Yours„ etc., JoSEPHfROGERS.



A clergyman of a country village church desired to give notice that there would be no service in the afternoon, as he was going to officiate for another clergyman.
