to hear them. He had several othe* objec tions to bring forward, but he took these to start with.

Mr Tyler, in replying, maintained that Mr Russell's objections could not hold good. The Victorian Act could not be quoted because the form of procedure in this colony was totally different to that in Victoria. He held that the court had shown by granting the summons that it had been satisfied on all matters which were necessary. He was of opinion that it was now impossible to go back beyond the summons to the form of the affidavit. As to the Victorian statute he had never before heard it quoted in a New Zea land Court. Besides it. was absured to sup pose that in a R.M. Court it was contem plated by the law, that a lawyer should over whelm a Magistrate with techuieal terms, and arguments upon processes uo war rant _ "narrators," and affidavits oeing " entituled." Magistrates were not as a rule deeply versed in legal lore, and it would be altogether wrong that they should be deluged with such terms. It would not be impos sible for respestable old gentlemen to ask gravely who Mr Narrator was (laughter). He was confident that Mr Russell's objection could not hold. Mr Russell said it must have been highly refreshing for his Worship to be classed among a set of country bumpkins. Mr Tyler : I should like to call your Worship's attention to one fact. 1 did not call your Worship a "country bumpkin" (laughter).

Mr Russell : Well, my friend's language was highly suggestive of such a comparison. The learned gentleman devoted another half hour to answering Mr Tyler's reply. His Worship having taken some time in thought, gave it as his decision that notwith standing the precedents quoted by Mr Russell, there was no reason for considering the summons vitiated. The case must proceed.

Mr Russell: Then I will proceed to the next objection, which is that the affidavit was not sworn before any proper authority. Mr Alexander, though authorized to take affidavits in the Supreme Court, was not authorised to take them in the R.M. Court. The learned counsel having spoken half an hour in favour of this objection, Mr Hesketh suggested he might perhaps like an adjourn ment to get up his authorities. Mr .Russell: Oh, no, I can go on all day if necessary. I can follow Mr Hees example, and speak for 1G hours if you like. At the conclusion of Mr .Russell's argument Mr Hesketh said bnfore answering his learned friend's last objection he could not avoid saying that thero seemed to be a determined desire on the part of the defen dants not to approach the merits of the dis pute.

Mr Russell objected to such an expression. When the merits of the case came up they were quite prepared to maiutain their case. Till then he must ask his learned friend not to make reflections.

Mr Hesketh said he had had no wish to be offensive, but ifc certainly seemed to him that what he had said was the fact. The eourtjhad already decided an objection which was exactly analagous, and it looked as if the counsel for the defence wished to lead the Court to stultify! itself, In a speech of some length Mr Hesketh maintained upon the ground of general practice that the affidavit was perfectly valid, though whether it was or was not, was immaterial to the merits of the case, as the summons had been issued.

Mr Russell having rejoined,

His Worship said it wa3 evidently the intention of the Legislature to avoid all teehinealities in these cases but he must hold that the affidavit was irregular, and con sequently dismiss the ease with costs, Mr Russell said he presumed costs would be allowed to each defendant.

Mr Tyler objected to this. His Worship ruled that separate costs should be allowed. The amount allowed by the Act was three guineas in each case. There were several witnesses for the defen dant in attendance, but as they had not been subpoenaed thier expenses were not allowed. Mr Hesketh asked against whom the order for costs was made.

His Worship : Against Mr Pooley. Mr Hesketh: But if the affidavit is a nullity there is no person before the Court. His Worship said he held it was the same as a nonsuit. Mr Pooley had instituted the proceedings, and must pay the costs. Mr Ledge : The costs are £14 12a.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) Wednesday. 4? The Public Political Meeting. The meeting on Wednesday night was an immense success. The theatre was jammed full in every corner — not an inch of standing room vacant. Over two thousand were inside, and probably half as many more left, after vainly attempting to find entrance. The meeting was most deter mined and enthusiastic. The stage was filled with all the influential people of the city except the half-dozen concocters of the memorial, who are nbw frightened of the ghost they have raised. Towards the close, confusion was caused by cayenne pepper scattered by opponents. The picture of two thousand pocket handkerchiefs out, and two thousand people all coughing and sneezing at the same time was intensely ludicrous. None of the eight hundred and sixty memorialists showsd up. Btrong Feeling in the City. The feeling throughout the city is greatly excited. The Superintendent will imme diately call the Provincial Council.

The Superintendent was waited on by a deputation from the Clutha this morning, who informed him of their intention to hold a public meeting there to-morrow night in order to pass resolutions similar in termß to the second one passed by the Dunedin meeting for calling the Council together etc., (From Another Correspondent).

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

At the Board of Education yesterday Mr Moss, in laying on the table the letter from the City K*st school committe*, stated that he did not think the Board would require him to notice its violent and ex aggerated terms. The gross neglect consisted in not answering a letter which was not really of the least importance, but which J.e had nevertheless answered on the following day. He lafd the letter of 2Gth July and the unswur of the 27th before the 80-ird accordingly ; also a letter from Mr Talbot of tht> 28th July, ackwowedging the receipt of that reply. ') lie letters were, none of them, of the leist importance, and he was surprised to find them referred to at all. As to the violation of duty, it consisted in givintr 10 Mr Worthington copies of a letter writton on 27ih July to the School Committee ai Mr Worthiu(tton'^ request. Also copy of the School Committee's reply thereto, which he laid before the Board, with the copy of tho official letter in which he had enclosed them to Mr Worthington. These letters referred to the propriety of calling a special meeting of the Board to consider the sadden suspension of Mr "Worthington by the committee Tne first was writton on 27th .July last, at Mr Worthington's request, and the reply from the committee was sent to him as a matter of course, —Several members of the Board spoke on the matter They did not think it (necessary to go into these ex travagant charges. At the same time, if Mr Mobs thought it dastrable to place his reply on record, he might do so by a letter addressed to the Board which could be laid on the table at the next meeting. The committee's letter had been returned because of it« improper tone. The Act did not recognise a secretary to a committee, and it was hoped that the chairman would have declined to sign a letter of the kind if it had passed through him as it ought to have dono, if only as an act of courtesy, when addressed to the chairman of the Board direct. The following resolu tion was carried :—" That the Secretary be instructed, under the circumstances, to # convene a meeting of the ratepayers for Monday evening, at half-past seven, at the City Bast School-room, to recommend the appoint ment of not less than five commissioners for the distriot."

THE FIRE BRIGADE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab

Sir,— Seeing Mr Hughes' challenge in your late issue, I, as one preient at the late fire would, without wish in? in the slightest to '.depreciate the brigade, like to make a few remarks, as it Is just possible that Mr Hughes' offervescence may have arisen from a conversation that passed between myself and one of his subs. Meeting Mr Knight who holds some oner ous post in that body, and who began the conversation by asking me "If they had not shewn the A.uck landers the way to put out fires in wooden buildings." I, in reply told him that I did not think they had, for if the citizens had not held the fire in check, neither his nor any other brigade would have saved them, as the building* are mere shells. Then followed the statement of the 8 minutes—l sta'ed 20 before they were at work. In this, I may not have been correct, but I have made enquiries of several who were present, and they state the time variously, from 14 to 20 minutes. The time however, is not the point at issue but the merit of putting out the fire. As re gards the] premises held by Milne and Choyce, the fire was not only held in check, but was actually put out inside, before the arrival of the brigade, for on Mr Hughes' appearance he rushed into Milne's shop and upstairs, with the hose, when he was told the fire was out, on those premises, and the hose was then applied elsewhare. and I do still maintain my opinion that it was the citizens who were mainly instrumental in saving the buildings. It is an easy thing for a brigade of organized men. with every appliance, and plenty of wator, to put out a fire, kept in check by a few unorganized citizens, who had to get buckets and fetch their water from a long distance at an early hour, there being no well on the premises. I was roused by the riDging of the fire-bells, but upou turning out, and seeingl no r?flection, thinking it some small affair, and havirjg a bad cold, I turned in again, as the bell ceased. Upon their ringing out 'mm shortly after, I turned out. and walking down Queen street, set to work. Mr Perkins, I believe, was the first to get water on to the buildiogs. and I should judge that half the stock was got out of the front shoD and the fire out, inside Milne's premises, before Mr Hughes appeared, when the gas was put out, I judged from the work done as no one would ba fool enough to put a watch in his pocket who intended to work at a fire To make the brigade effective, and enable them to obtain justly the praise for putting fires out, let one or two of the smartest and quickest runners amongst thb members, be told off. Give them " baby " engines, and instructions to instantly proceed direct to the fire, they will always find willing hands to help them with water, if there be any in the neighbourhood, as there is always more good done in the first lew minutes of a fire, than half an hour after wards. There is another matter, I would like to mention. The Gas Company should not cut off the metres so promptly at fires. Had this not been done, I believe the cost to the Insurance Company would have bsen £1000 less at Milne's, upon the late occa sion, the place being in darkness, people laden with goods stumbled over each other, chairs, cases &c, causing more to ba destroyed in five minutes, than would have been in the removal of the whole stock with light Why don't the Insurance Company form a Volunteer Salvage Company, providing them with a|f»w|large cane baskets, [and light hand-barrows.'

One fire would save the cost for years ? Tradesmen of Queen-street and neighbourhood, would probibly be the best you can se)pct.—l am, sir yours etc., F. W. Dawsow, Builder—[P.3. Mr Hughes' remarks respecting the wood being old and rotten, thence inferring that it would burn more readily, are rather unhappy, as having had some little acquaintance with wood in my time, 1 can inform him that rotten wood wetted, is not readily burnt.]

"LURLINE."

At the Theatre Royal last evening the programme waa the same as on the previous evening, comprising the American drama of the " Yankee Teamster," and the operatic burlesque of "Lurline, the Nymph of the Lurleyberg." In the former piece Mr Kail, as Solon Shingle, raised the feelings of the audience into a state of merriment and laughter Tho eccentricitiPS and ludicrous saving's of the 'ieatnsier were exceed ingly tunny, and »s good as that of a son of Erin in the Resident Magistrate's Court ycsteiday, wlu said, "If yez will lave me go into the poor box, sir (mean ing the witness box), I'd tell yez ail I know ; aud, by my faith, that's nothing at all, at all." The remain ing characters were ably sustained by Messrs Searle, Hollowiv, Hesford. Thornton, Glover. Mrs Stone lißm, Miss Raymond, aud oihers. The subsequent burlesque was highly acceptable, and Mrs Hall won great favour by her admirablo impersonation of Sir Rupert. Lurline was again successfully undertakea by Miss Laura Wiseman The several songs, local hits, aud fugit.ve scraps of rhyme were effective ; tlie very unartiatic and uupoetlc charactar of the broken rhymes were provocative of laughter, and conse quently served the purpose. 'J he orchestra added much to the entertainment by the performance) of several beautiful selections of music. We call parti cular attention to ihe announcement of Mrs Hall's benefit for this evening, on which occasion " Our American Cousin" will be represented, Mrs Hall as Mary Meridith. and Mr Hall as Asa Trencuard ; to onclnde with the fourth repetition of "Lurline."
