T. B. HANNAFORD AND THE BOYS.

[To the Editor)

Sir,—lt would appear 11 "om your notice or the had lan-vase ease, rhicli came before JUr Barstow yesterday, that it was at my instance the lad Scott was-'run in"'on Monday ni^ht. Such, however, is far from being the, case. 1 was not present at the time ; indeed, away down town, and know nothing of tho lads arrest un informed by the police, requiring my attendance in Court, and was equally surprised a ail sr icy tn «„,! v -i ir> fi le i.,h vras. His lather I nave known ever since I have been in the colony, and V man I more sincerely respect does not tvi«t in Arickland. But the annoyances I have for a lenttheiied period been subjected to (and consecfSlSjnry to business) by tho nightly ■issemb'a'"e or a lot of foul-mouthed rowdies, old androw, has unwillingly compelled me to seek the aidof ,the police, that the nuisance could be very materually abated by a lamp .bcim? placed at the corner of the two streets all admit, and none more markedly than the police them selves. It would be hailed as a boon by aU the respectable residents in Lome-street, and would have been bo iixed had it not Ixien persistently opposed by by Mr Prime and others of the Council. \\ nether the former gentleman was actuated by motives of economy or petty spite, through ray tioina; heart and soal into Mr Tonics' candidature for tho civic chair, I leave your readers to decide.

THOMPSON'S DIORAMA.

Thomson's great diorama of the American War was witnessed last evening in the Theatre lloval by a very considerable company of visi tors, and a sense of general satisfaction was apparent on smiling tacss. The various incidents were simply and clsarly explained by the lecturer, who has not only a good voice, but is well versed in all the details of that strange, eventful history, from the first boom oi: the first cannon, to the death of that pious soldier, Stone wall Jackson. The music of the orchestra adds greatly to the interest of the diorama. J.lio distribution of gifts, last evening, shewed the rigid impartiality of tho management. Many of the highest prizes fell to the lot oi: little unkempt, urchins in the pit, sovoral of whom, for expending a "bob," gained presents worth pounds. On the previous night, a small tribe oi: Maoris invaded the Theatre, the fame of Thompson's Diorama bavins reached then-ears. They were puzzled at each receiving three envelopes,'- but very angry when they found nothing more inside than blank bits of paper, and were about to dance the war dance round Thompson's doorkeeper, when tho system was explained. Samuel, one of the Maoris, bought some more tickets, and was triumphant m gam in" a prize. On Saturday next a special grand distribution of prizes will take place. In the afternoon every child will receive a prize.

CHARGE OF PERJURY OVER THE OCEAN MAIL WRECK.

At the Supreme Court to-day, Alexander Coiemau and William Morrison, convicted of perjury in the evidence they gave at Chatham Islands with reference to the wreck of the Ocean Mail, were brought up for judgment. Mr Travers moved for arrest of judgment, in consequence of ob jections to the indictment, ancl^ as Jo the manner in which the Of>+ » '"' """"i -™ luimsiciuu. vi regard to the iattei objec tion, he argued that it was fatal to the prosecution, inasmuch as it seemed givoti by Mr Dei"hton, Officer of Customs, wJio, though Resident Magistrate, could not, owing to his position as <lo facto coin plainant in the matter, invest himself with any such judicial functions in reference to the case as would entitle him to interfere with the oath, and it, therefore, having been administered in an irregular manner, proceedings ware vitiated, inasmuch as it was necessary, in proceeding for psrjury, that the oath should be administered by some person whose position at tho time entitled him _by law to do so. Regarding other objections, as the want of jurisdiction of the Court below, lie held that it was not properly constituted to try the case, and that, there fore, the form of indictment was bad. lilr Izard argued on the opposit 1 side, tliat, even if tke investigation had not been conducted midcu proper judical authority, as required by the Act, in tiie fir^t in «t;uice, the Court still had power to hear c ideuce, and taking a fai^o oath before :t

might, although not amenable as direct perjury, be still punishable as- simple mis demeanour.

The Chief Justice, in giving judgment, stated that be had had the benefit of Mi-

Justice Richmond's opinion, and. it entirely agreed with his own. The statute evidently contemplated that the principal officer of Customs was to perform special duties, not those of a Justice of the Peace or K.M. holding aii inquiry. He was de facto clothed with functions of a different character altogether, and such being the case, lie could not. be considered both prosecutor and judge in the same matter. Therefore, the 'Court was of opinion that thegthird and fourth counts in the indict ment, which shewed that the tribunal in question was made up of two Justices and an oiiicer of Customs, could not be sustained, and proceedings were invalidated by the consequent iii competency of one member of the Bench affecting the other two. The third and fourth counts being therefore bad, he considered he should have directed the jury to acquit upon them ; and with regard to the first, second, fifth, and sixth counts, he thought the proper course would be to respite the prisoners and discharge them upon their own recognisances to come up for judgment when .called upon, and if thought necessary in the meantime other proceedings could be instituted. He had

taken that course for the reason that if objections had been reserved for the (Joint of Appeal, the result would have been either that a special court would hayo had to be called for the purpose, which would be inconvenient, or that prisoners would be kept in custody, or at any rate have had to enter into their own recognisances to appear five or six months hence, a proceeding which would be altogether an unnecessary hardship for them. The prisoners were discharged from custody on entering into their own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon.

Horsowliippiag an Editor, T. Hooper, late editor of the "Reformer," and still a contributor, was horsewhip]u d yesterday in the office by a woman. The " Post" gives the following account of the affair : —" A publication in this city, osten sibly devoted to the cause of temperance and social reform, has for some time past been made the vehicle of .some of the most vile and filthy paragraphs, furnished by 0113 • Scribendus,' and which, while affecting a high tone of morality, are filled with prurient details and allusions, offensive in the highest degree to common decency. A woman named ' Maggie Baker' was pointedly attacked in one of these effusions. She did not like it, so, horsewhip iv band, she proceeded to tho office of the publica tion in question. As she mounted the stairs inside the front door, she met a gentleman of strangely marked visage. 'Is your name Hooper?' said the lady. ' Yes,' replied the man. Then straightway the infuriated woman 'went' for Hooper. There was a quick whisk of the riding whip as the blows fell quick and sharp on the

head and shoulders of the victim, even to the extent of a ' baker's dozen,' and a few odd thwacks over. The assaulted man was literally 'brought up standing,' -and altogether lost his self-possession. Ulti mately, however, as the sting of the -whip become unbearable, he made a violent. effort, gathered himself together, and lied with the speed of lightning. By the latest accounts the injured man is as well as could be expected under the afflicting cir cumstances. Full details of his martyrdom will, it is supposed, bj given next Saturday in the publication to which Mr Hooper is so distinguished a contributor."

In banco' to-day tho Chief Justice gave judgment in the case, Hair v. Jjorough Council of Wanganui. The motion to dissolve an injunction was refused.

ALLEGED UNNATURAL OFFENCE

BY A CIVIL SERVANT. There is another horrible scandal talked about, affecting a member of the Civil Service, The thing is more than mere idle gossip, and the alleged facts indicate that Wellington may again be shocked by allusion to an offence of which it was hoped no more would ever again be heard. .The alleged offender, it is stated, has since been dismissed from the Service, but allowed a week to clear out of the country. It is not yet known whether the police "will take any steps to prosecute and arrest the person referred to.

! PRESENTATION OF THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF AIMS TO MISS EDGER.

The ceremony of presenting this degree of honor to Miss Edger took place this after noon, in the Choral lirli. The hall was completely crowded with a highly respect able audience, representing all classes of society. On the platform, we noticed the Bishop of Auckland, lion. Mr Justice Gillies, Dr. Campbell, Col. ilauitain, Itev. S. Edger, Dr. Purchas, llevs. A. W. Webb, TJios. Huddle, D. Bruce, the Mayors of Auckland and Par nell, \V. Swanson, Esq., Dr. Goldsbro', E. Kesketh, Esq., and the representatives of the Harbour Board and City Council, and other public bodies. Mr H. 11. Lusk, on rising was greeted with cheers, and said they had met upon no ordinary occasion, the first of the kind in any part, of New Zealand, and as it was a lady who was to be admitted to the <lf'grnc of Bachelor of Arts, it was tiie first event of the kind in any pa t of the British dominions. 'JVat iv itself was a most impo tant landmark in the history of New Zealand. He wished that the duty of admitting the lady to the Academic degree had fallen into worthier hands; he wished flat Sir George Grey bad been able to fulfil the pleasing task. Mr Lusk proceeded at some length on the importance of education, illid si-.id the event of this day would reflect new lustre upon this country.

The Bishop of New Zealand followed in a congratulatory speech, and spoke of the difficulties in the way of obtaining so eminent a position-

The business was proceeding as we went to press ; we are unable, therefore to yive full particulars in this evening's issue.

THE LICENSING QUESTION AT THE KAIPARA.

(To the Editor of the EVENING STAK.)

Siu :—ln your issue of tho 20th inst, there appears a lengthy, rambling oit'usion from the pen of Thomas A. Gubl>, meant doubt less, as a defence of the insane attempt recently made to deprive the Kaipara district—or rather a portion of it—of its hotels. Your own correspondence suiters iv Mr Gubb's hazy composition, and because he does his duty as a correspondent and forwards for publication in your valuable columns an opinion expressed iv the Licens ing Court by Captain Symonds, "He is smarting" from the castigation he and others interested in the liquor trailic have received at the hands of honest men." This is _ a strange conclusion for Mr <!i:bb to arriv,e at ! How docs he know that your own correspondent at liolcnsvillc is >: interested in the liquor trailic" or that a memorial of the character recently got up by hone.it and sober men could iailict costigution on him or cause hotel - keepers to smart? If 3lr Cubi) was to assume less, and rush into print with surer information than lie docs he might in time extend the circle of hi* worshippers outside " Schnapper-land." Not content with having an unmeaning rap at your own correspondent, lie must try his hand at the publicans. I wonder where such a staunch and blatant teetotaler acquired his knowledge of Bono faces' character ! He rejoices over the

"little the publicans know," and chari tably congratulates himself that they are never happy. Not a bad stylo of estimat ing men with whom Mr Gubb has had very Ikrtle to do -and his hate far surpasses his ignorance of the class. Speaking of the- memorial, he says but little of the Waipu signatures. Strange, surely, that a man of such profound knowledge of men and things should fall into a serious though profitable error over (he boundaries of n district. The question of how the licensed houses on the Wairoa are kept, Mr Giibb cares not to discuss, and refers to the withdrawn ami exaggerated articles from the pen of tiic "Herald's" special reporter which appeared some twelve mouths since, and which wore freely con tradicted at the time. Then he drag* in

the " widows and orphans on 1 lie Wairoa." Mr Giibb is greatly at fault here, and shews a lamentable disregard for truth, as there are but two widows on the river ; and these lost their husband's, not through drink, but through a private quarrel in the boat through which they were both drowned while returnjiig to Aratapu from a funeral, and both wore perfectly sober. The num ber of deaths by drowning will compare favourably with any district in N.Z , where the only communication for nearly 100 miles is by means of a broad river with a swift current. Again, since the opening of tho hotels,scarce three years siiiCß,des.ths by drowning have been less common than in the days of wholesale grog shanties,when liquor was purchased by tire case or cask. Taken altogether, Mr Gubb's letter _ ap pearsto be a last dying kick at the Wairoa. " The memorial was a dead failure, than!": God," I heard one man who travels consid erably in the north, say to another, and lie but expressed public opinion on the river, despite Mr Gubb's " absolute majority." Trusting that I have not trespassed on your space, and that Mr.Giibb will not look down from his literary eminence, and pro nounce my letter one of the " poor weapons" used .by publicans in their defence, allow mie to subscribe myself a commercial avlio lias found " rest and quiet enjoyment" in many an hotel. —lam Ovc., COMMERCIAL.

■ In the .Supremo Court (states the Mel- -i bourne " Herald") a witness, -who ■was ! being pressed by Sergeant Sleigh to specify ' the time at which cc-rta.ni alterations | were made in the city drainage, ; mxml, —"I don't re: the use of driving at the year.

After the laughter which followed this reply subsided, the Sergeant ventured to hope that the witness did not. at all regret ! the event lie had alluded to, and was met •by a prompt negative, with the addition that he was "so happy he had never i thought auyi.hing a", out it." !
