EMBEZZLEMENT. Frederick Northrop, about 30, was ar raigned upon an indictment charging him, with embezzling sums of money during, the months of May and June, while employed as traffic clerk on the railway. . Tho prisoner pleaded guilty to the several charges against him, and said that he should not have committed the offence but fordrink, which was his only excuse. His Honor spoke of the serious character of the offences, which he could not pass over lightly, as prisoner must he an educated man or'he could not have filled such a responsible P°Sentenced to three years penal servitude WOUNDING WITH INTENT. The sentence upon George Celebrook, of Tauranga, was stated in error in our last issue as four years imprisonment, instead of four months with hard labour. NO TRUE BILL.

THIS DAY.

(His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock.) CONTEMPT OF COURT. Mr Wareham, of the Waste Lands Office appeared before the Court to answer to a charge of communicating by letter to his Honor, Mr Justice Gillies, on behalf of a prisoner, named Draper, -convicted on several charges of embezzlement, with a view of obtaining a lighter punishment for Draper. '■;" Mr Kissling, solicitor, offered an apology for Mr Wareham, who was not aware that he was doing a wrongful act. It was done in a spirit of kindness, as Mr. Wareham j had known the friends of Draper in London, and who moved in a highly respectable circle. His Honor said he believed that Mr Wareham had acted in such a'spirit without knowing that he was committing an offence. He had frequently been annoyed by similar letters, and in future would visit such offenders with just punishment. His Honor then discharged Mr Wareham in the hope that it would act as a caution to Mm and others in future. FORGED ORDER. j Thomas Gapper, aged 66, described as a billiard marker, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with nttering a forged order for £5 with intent to defraud. Prisoner pleaded guilty, aud was senten ced to nine months' imprisonment.

MISDEMEANOR.

Frank Lynch, described as a labourer, was charged Avith appearing at Corbmandel as a voter, and falsely ansAvering to the name of William Wright, of Whangapoa, on the 22nd of December.

Prisoner said he was persuaded to answer to the name, and did so in ignorance. His Honor said he was willing to believe that it was done in ignorance, and as this was the hrst offence of the kind, lie would visit prisoner with a light punishment as a warning to himself and others. One months' imprisonment with hard labour. ASSAULTING A CONSTABLE.. Thomas Gray, Joseph Knight, an,d John Allen were arraigned upon an indictment charging them with assaultidg and beating Patrick McGovern, in the Eav of I .Islands*, on the 16th of December, 1576~ Allen pleacled guilty, but the other two prisoners, for whom Mr Rees appeared, pleaded not guilty. .' . Mrßrookfield described the circtimstancos briefly, and called the witnesses. Matthew Joicc, of KaAVakawn,, was at Johnson's Hotel on the 16th Dec, Avhen Knight came in and said " Come out, boys, there's a policeman dragging, one of jour mates out. They said "We won't stand that," and went into York-strict ; he zol . loAved them, heard heavy words, but saw no blows struck. He heard Knight bay that the constable was tearing his mate's teonsers.

Constable Menzies endeavoured to arrest Allen on that night for being drnnk and disorderly. Prisoner threw him doAvn, and struck him three times in the face, tearing nif-j clothes. He called McGovern to ihis assistance, and they caught prisoner in York-street, A violent struggle ensued, and prisoner fell. He then said, if they Avould let him get up he would walk quietly. They allowed him to gej/up, when he im imediately struck out and dealt a number of blows on the head of McGovern; . Knight then came up and struck McGovefh. tAylce Avith his clenched fist.

Cross-examined by Mr Rees. George Poole, farmer, gave evidence. Saw Menzies and Allen struggling on;thc ground opposite the hotel. Allen got aAvay. He subsequently saAV the struggle betAVeen Allen and McGovern,: Avheir McGovern's thumb Avas dislocated... He saAV no bIoAV

Patrick McGovern stated that in conse- -j quence of what he had heard about the fray between Menzies and Ailed he went toAA^ards. the liotel. Allen AA ras : quite drunk ;. and in attempting to take him. the assault was committed. The prisoner Allen gave him a number of bIOAVS. He Avas also struck both by Knight and Gray. -. , . I Mr Pees addressed the jury, and con sidered that the case, never ought to have bben sent to the Supreme Court, but ought to have been settled in the locality" where the assault Avas committed. Mr Rccs then Avent over the evidence and sheAved that there Avas really no evidence to .shew that Gray struck the constable, and Concluded' an eloquent address by urging that there Avere no reasonable grounds for believing that 'Knight struck a bknv at all, and he ' should have the benefit of the doubt.. The prisoner Allen, put. in. a statement to the effect that he was excited through drink in connection with racing; and that 6ir. leaA-ing the hotel he 'was' attacked and roughly handled by the constable ; and denying the statement of- the constables Ijprt the main points. ' ; i ■ His Honor then reviAved the evidence, and left the case with the jury, who retired to consider their verdict. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty in all three cases, and the prisoners Avere discharged. .: . _____

| : CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. ":.'.. Mary Ann Kane, aged 20, stood charged with, infanticide, but in accordance with - the finding of the -Grand-Jury, the ?! inditement was amended and »she was charged Avith the lesser crime of . conceal ment of birth on the 11th of Deeembeif 1876. The prisoner pleaded guilty. ;.- • TV. ■ His Worship deeply com-misserated the unhappy condition of the prisoner, and said lie regretted that, instead of passing sen tence upon her^ he' could have ptinished: her seducer ; still lie must do his duty,, but he hoped the gaoler would place her in,such a position as to keep her apart from the hardened classes of criminals, and that in future she avouM be induced to keep.in part of virture. The sentence upon her would be 12 months' imprisonment. FORGING AND UTTERING. Richard James Torpey,. was chargedi Avith forging and uttering a cheque for. £19, -bear ing the name of Robert Cashmore, iwith intent to defraud. j Prisoner pleaded guilty to uttering, but \- not to forging the cheque. p^'Mr Rrookfield stated the particulars, and -r^3^called the several Avitnesses. : , .James Berry Robinson, salesman, in the employment of Mr John Cosgrave, deposed that prisoner came into his employer's shop on the 2"rd December, and "purchased a : quantity of wearing .apparel, blankets, and other articles amounting to £13. He presen-

to have been drawn by Robert Cashmore, timber merchant, in favor of James on the Colonial Bank. He gave the cheque to the cashier, and returned the change to prisoner. The cheque was proved to be valueless. He gave information to the police. John Francis White, ledger-keeper in the Colonial Bank, deposed that the cheque was presented on the 28th, but not paid, as it was discovered that the signature was not that of Mr. Cashmore.

Robert Cashmore, deposed that he knew the prisoner at the bar ; he was employed for a short time at his Sandspit saw mill, but he aever paid him by cheque. The signature was not his ; ho knew nothing of the cheque produced*

' GISBORNE, thl* day. CRICKET MATCH. The crickot match yesterday, was re sumed at two o'clock amid drenching rain. Napier, in the second innings, scored only 65, loaving the Poverty Bay men 103 to top. A thunderstorm and fearful downpour rendered play impossible, and the game was declared drawn. At four o'olock five wickets -were drawn for 3!) runs. Great pluck and good feeling was exhibited by both sides. The ball in the evening was capital. The cricketers have returned this morning, pleased with their rocption. WELLINGTON, this day. MAYOR HUTCHISON'S COMPARISON OF CITY TAXATION. Mayor Hutchison has initiated the practice of laying before the City Council as a supplement to the * annual accounts, a statement of the finances and jrablic works. He shews that Wellington is the most lightly taxed city of the four in the colony, the rate per head being 15s llfd., compared with 17s ll£d in Christchurch, 30s in Dunedin, and 32s 6d in Auckland. The last valuation shews about £170,000 rateable, property. __ DIPHTHERIA.—STABBING CASE. Considerable consternation is felt among families consequent on five deaths in one family from diphtheria, and single cases in others, but inquiry shews thnt_ not more than six other cases arc in the city.' On New Year's night, a stabbing case occurred at the dancing party of Sinedes I Anderson, formerly a sailor on the schooner i Julius Vogel, stabbed Charles Lamberg dangerously in the head and face, and was only prevented from murder by the spec tators. He has since escaped. Lamberg had accused him previously of insulting his wife, „ NEW CORONER'S LAW. An inquest was held to-day on a boy named Kochlcy, who was killed in an open street, by falling from a horse. The Coro ner complained of the change in law, by which Coroners could not give a certificate of death without holding an inquest. The Wellington club have sent four of the best boats, two of them ncvor beaten, and a strong crew to practice at Nelson, up to date of the Regatta. Mr Krull's brig Isabella has returned from whaling. Caught seven whales but was recalled as being unprofitable. MINISTERIAL. Dr. Grace left in the Stella for Napier to attend Sir Donald McLean. Mr Onnond accompamies him. The papers are devided in opinion as to Mr Reids accession to the ministry. The •■Argns" questions this alliance with;Mr Whitaker ; the . 'Post" strongly defends Mr Reid against the strictures in the Dunedin Press, and approves the appointment* DUNEDIN, this day. JUDGE WILLIAMS ON THE BANK RUPTCY ACT. Mr. Justice Williams, referring to the Bankruptcy Act said :—l can only hope the present experiment will be a success. I would vonture^o remark, that in the legis lature on commercial matters, and genor-' ally on those subjects in respect of which there can be comparatively littlo difference between the requirements if one civilized community and another, it seems desirable to maintain as fai as possible, uniformity in our legislation with the legislation of other countries. The imperial .parliament has of late.years dealt v/ith these subjects in an advanced liberal spirit, and the advan tages from a legal point of view of. unifor mity iii legislation are so great, that it may be worth while to sacrifice some ideal im provements, in order to obtain them. I do not mean that the Imperial Act should be adopted, defects and all, but merely that it is probable in legislating on'the subjects I have referred to it would be wise to follow imperial legislation, making only such alterations and variations. as . I the circumstances of the colony clearly demand. It: may be stated broadly, every new Act that deals with a complicated subject must inevitably require, legal interpreta tion. This will have to be obtained at the expense of .persons whom the Act affects. If and so far as one of our Acts is modelled on an English Act, we have the benefit of the decisions of English courts on doubtful .points, our* doubts are in fact solved at the 'expense of English suitors. If we cast aside English legislation, and venture on originality, doubts will arise as before, but have to be settled here at great expense to suitors, and with great waste of time and labour of all concerned. A higher degree of certainty in the interpretation of law is too great an advantage to be sacrificed, except for very valid reasons. STRANGE SHOOTING CASE. A strange case of shooting took place at Blue Spur last night. James Campbell and some children were sitting in a room, when a gun was fired at them. through the window, smashing three fingers of one of the girl's hands, and injuring the other two slightly. No clue has yet been found to the person firing the gun. The father and mother of the children were staying in Dunedin. . ' The Hon. G.

Fracas in a Barber Shop.

LIVELY INMERCHANCE OF COM-

PLIMENTS,

A LIVELY fracas, which is likely to give some trouble to Mr Earstow, occured this morning in the establishment of one of our professors of the crinicultural art. A gentle man well-known on the Exchange from his connection with the Shotover mine paid a visit to the shop of Mr Symons of Queen - street with the object of being divested of some of the superfluous capilliary covering of his head, a very desirable step in this Avarni weather. While tbeb operation wan being performed the gentleman manifested con siderable absence of mind and kept running his lingers through his hair. The dexterous Avielder of the shears was afraid of lopping oft" one of the gentleman's digits, and cau tioned him of the risk he ran, Avhcroupoii the gentleman regarded the Profensor with an air of blank astonishment, remarking that lie had travelled over the continent and had been operated upon by barbers of various nation*, but in all his varied exper ience he had no\ rer been so grossly Insulted before. The hair-dresser ex plained. The sitter fumed. The hair dresser remonstrated ; the other fumed, and finally remarked that Mr Symons was a low-lived scoundrel. Mr Symons replied by using a short Anglo-Saxon word winch means the exact opposite of truth-■ teller. The gentleman shewed his appreciation; by hitting Mr Symons in the eye. Mr Symons remonstrated against this treatment, and sent his boy for a policeman. Injthe interim the visitor filled up the time; by hitting Mr Symons in sundry other places, which resulted in the Professor giving him one from the shoulder, and extracting [the claret from his nasal organ. By this time a gentleman in blue "avus promptly on {the. spok" He was requested to more tihe troublesome visitor, and was conducting him to a distance, Avhon the gentleman turned suddenly upon the peace-maker and gave him a tremendous blow in the abdobien which took away his breath. When hcj re covered he lugged the pugnacious indi vidual off to the lock-up whence ho was released on bail.

Mr Symons Avas shortly afterwards A-isited by the brother of his late customer, and an explanation was requested. Mr Symons described the' affair graphically, but was interrupted by an intimation that lie jsvas a pervcrtcr of the truth. Mr. Symons intends to take legal proceedings against both the gentlemen in question, who, Iwo believe have counter charges against Him. 1 Thus is tho monotony of these dull tijnes relieved, and Justice saved from nodding.

(BY THE DOCTOR.)

THE EXCITEMENT AMONGST THE SMITHS.

There is just now a deep phsychological dis turbance agitating the minds of ten thousand Smiths. Visions jof untold wealth fill tho day and night dreams of these ten thousand Smiths, vistas of piles of golden sovereigns and silver 'coin flash before their eyes, long Unes of carriages with liveried coachmen and flunkeys, ten thou sand steamers bearing ten thousand Smiths to Merry England, ten thousand Smiths buying ton thousand splendid mansions and living in purplo and fine linen, ten thousand ditto "making it all right" for about fifty thousand other ditto male and female,—all this, more or less, is what the ten thousand Smiths of Australia and New Zealand aro j ust now thinking and dreaming about. And why? A few centuries ago, or thereabouts. —I can't be particular to a year or so—there lived a certain John Smith some where in England, who amassed great riches, and died without making a will, which neglect was very wrong in a man who was tho owner of some hundreds of thousand of pounds. Well, as a matter of course, the money passed into Chancery, which, in those days, was the legal Limbo. Years rollod on, and the original sum had increased to £{00,000. But the battering ram of public opinion long and vigorously applied to the walls of Chancery, had made great broaches therein, and the garrison, who had waxed fat on the rich accumulation of plunder, was compelled to disgorge. Not long • since, advertisements appeared in many of the colonial papors, inviting the direct lineal descendants of John Smith to send in particulars of their ancestry to " Uniacke and Co." Melbourne. Forthwith there was tremen dous excitement amongst the ten thousand Smiths. There was not one of them that had not a grand-father or a great grand-father of the Christian name of John The advertisement was followed by shoals of letters to all the | Smiths in tho colonies, calhng upon thorn to put in their claims. The excitement got to fever heat, and the ten thousand Smiths wore in liigh glee. The other day, in Queen-street, I met Bill Smith, and asked him how his affairs were getting on. Ho led me mysteriously to a private sitting-room in an hotel, and produced a great bundle of papers, mopped his forehoad with his handkerchief, and exclaimed " Read thorn." I told him I did'nt see how I could sparo the requisite time ; I was engaged for next day, and the next, but if ho would give me a brief epitome of their contentes, perhaps I should be able to make out how matters stood. Then lie related how that he had been in communication with the " Agents," aud had recoived several letters. Firstof all, he had to fill up answers to a long list of questions, shewing tho names, callings, and various other facts of or belonging to his great great grandfather and grandmother on the lather's sido; the names of their pro geny, where and when they were born, where and when thoy died (if dead)—in short he had to construct a- regular genealogical tree for a couple bf centuries. What wonder that ho was unable to furnish answers to most of t»e questions 1 Can. everybody in Auckland trace his descent, for 200 years 1 It would reveal some rcmarkablc-iacU.il -they could. And all things considered perhaps it is better that only a few persons of unimpeachable lineage can go back with certainty to their great grandfathers. It wouldn't be a pleasant discovery to learn that your great grandfather was hanged for sheep stealing, or sent to Botany Bay for manufactur ing counterfeit coin, nor would such a fact read well iv one's genealogy. Therefore let us rest and be thankful. But I am digressing. Bill Smith recoived a second and still more civil letter than the former from tho "Agent," who stated that his present opinion was that my friend Bill Smith's claim was derived from his great grandfather's second cousin on the father's side; this would, however, depend very much on the nature of Bill', answer to question No. 148, and it, might possibly be found that tho 'Claim was derived from his grandfather's brother's uncle's aunt*; cousin ; though finally there was just the barest chance that the real source lay in his father's twenty-first cousin's maiden aunt. The one thing needful to clear up this doubt was the sum of £7 75., by P.Q.0., the receipt of which would enable the agent at once to solVo the problem. The problem that Bill Smith was endeavouring to solve was, where on. earth bo was to raise that £7 7e. I thought that my pre sence might distract his calculations, so I left. I hadn't, gone many yards when I met littlo Joe Smith, who was forcing his way along under a dense load of perspiration. lie looked know ingly at mo and invited me to shout. 1 said I was an 1.0. G.T. of tho double-distilled stamp, and with several initials at tne end of my name. Then he asked me to lend him half-a-crown, adding "Lord bless you, Doctor, I'll be able to pay it. all back with interest, when 1 gel that £400,000." I said "Four hundred thousand fiddle stick;; !" To which Joe Smith said, " Look hero, old man, it's all right. I've only got to sign some papers, and the matter ia as good as settled. Next mnil'll bring the money." I said, "Have you any money to pay?" To which .Joe replied, ruefully, "That'sjust where the rub i 3. Tliey want £7 7s. before they'll send the papers to sign, and I'll bo hanged if I know where to raino that confounded £7 7s. Only to think that a paltry £7 7s. should stand between me and £i0;;,000. It's really too bad, now, isn't it l I say, couldn't you lay a follow on to some way of raising £7 7s. 'I What do you think of writing for the newspapers?" I recommended him to ■try gum digging first, or stone-breaking, or fi«h .ing off the bud of the wharf. But J have met dozens of other Smiths, who are in precisely similar circumstances. All these Smiths have £100,0(10 Within their grasp, and all for £7 7s. each. Tho last thing in this way is, that a chini-. noy sweep at Cavcrsham fancies also that he'is' on the "direct road for the "pile." Let us hope he will not be stuck up by that miserable £7 7s.
