Air O. Mays explained that the meeting had h sen called not to air grievances, but to find out definitely Avhat the grievances Arere, and so to enable them to lay a positive statement before tho directors This Avas corro« orated by Mr Hill, Mr Harbutt, and Mr Duder. Mr Harbutt pointed out the irritation caused by the holders of weekly tickets having to pay hv the night boats. Mr Heath said he had always been willing to make special arrangements Avith people AA'hose business kept them in tOAvn late. SeA-eral subjects of annoyance -were then al'uded to by the deputation, such as the dani ■i.re of cargo through insufficient shelter, the lack of accomodation for waiting passengers, the'boats not going regularly to the Devonport wharf, &c, &c. Mr Aitkin, after alluding to the superior class ttjgtf boats which the directors had provided, said jygj£fc.i,.p__.■•■,.;ion should recollect that their ser vSnts were but human, and as they were em ployed every day froniMonday morning to Satur day night from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., they might be excused for slight direllction of duty. Ho pro mised that the directors would take the resolu tion into close consideration., and would put their decision in Avriting, and hand it to Mr Heath to give them. The deputation then withdrew.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

ySSTERDAV.—COXCLTJOSD. (Before R, C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

SOMBBVILLE V. ROCHFOUT., - Claim £29 ss. Mr Brookfield tor plaintiff. Mr Rochfort, who appeared in his own defence, haA-ing quoted a number of opinions in similar contentions, argued (1) that he did not enter into any contract Avith plaintiff in respect of tbe goods stated in the bid ofi particulars; (2) there was no eA'idence of command to the Avife to purchase such goods ; (3) Mr3 .Rochfort had property of her oavii, over which he (the defendant) bad no control; (±) Mrs Rochforfs separate estate had been in her own right from May, 1874. Defendant proceeded to shew that the goods had been obtained as part of a current account between plaintiff and defen dant's family, upon which payments had been made from time to time by the trustees. After a defence of several hours. Mr Brookfield replied, contending that the mere fact of a Avife possessing separate property did not take the responsibility from the "husband's shoulders. Mr Somerville's only motive for bringing this action Avas, he wanted the money due to him, and he had no other Avay of getting it. ._ T The Court gave every consideration to Mr Rochfort, and listened to his arguments With the utmost deference and patience, but Avas comnelled to come to the conclusion that defen dant was liable for the debt, as he had obtained a portion of the goods himself, and gaA-e no notice to plaintiff that he Avas not liable. Judg ment for plaintiff. Mr Rochfort gave noticelof appeal.

GRANT AND MORTON V. CBOCKEB. Claim, £1110s. Mr Lusk for plaintiff, and Mr J. B. Russell for defendant, This claim was for boot-trees, pressing machine, and other things pertaining to the gentle craft of a shoe maker, including £1 10s, which defendant had acknowledged and paid into Court. The other goods Avere disputed, as they Avere withdrawn, and not purchased by defendant. After hear ing both sides, Mr Lusk accepted a nonsuit.

CASH V. PHILLIPS. Claim, £1 lis. In this case, Mr Dufaur for defendant, asked that the case might be struck off the list with costs. The plaintiff had been in Court in the morning, but Avas weary of waiting. The case was accordingly struck off

CONRAD AND LIZETTS.

Such Avas the title of the new drama, r.cw at least, to the Auckland public, which Avas pi^sented by Messrs Baker ani Farron last e%'ening, at ths Theatre Royal. The weather was anything but favourable, yet there was a goodly assemblage of persons in all parts of the hoii3s, avlio anxiously aAvaited ths uplifting of the curtain,and thefirst sight of the opeuingscene. As Lisa Eccles professed to illustrate life in the city of New York, so " Conrad and Lizette" shew life on the Avondro'i3 river of the Mississippi. The play is of the same series of drama in con nection with American life, and exactly, suited to the peculiar and versatile talents of the principals, and judging from its reception of last night, " Conrad and Lizette" are likely to win equal favour from the public. The drama j n four parts, or «cts, Avithout any special or >~o.lted lesson, the great obiecfc of the drama s*d _ that of amusement. We should imagine •na'^his drama Avas composed by the same will # as penned its predecessor,-as there is a . ,~J--fi relationship evident between the two, a

so beautifully describes in his fine lyric on the sturdy son of Vulcan ; the Dutchman's beer g r lens, the camp on the river, and the wedding d-.noument are welt concciA'ed and executecL The various characters assumed bA' the leaders* and thei'- dialect songs were or- the most satis factory description and elicited rapturous applause. Among the songs of Mr Baker, none Avere more effective than the jolly anti-Templar songot "Beer, Boer,1' which took immensely. The other songs of "My Avife is so aAvfuliy stout," and several others with dances were admirable, according to their degree of merit. M- Farron's Irish song of " Tim Flaherty," was a good Irish melody, AA'hich must have gone to the hearts of the Irish section of the audience. The ladies and gentlemen Avho represented the less showy positions in connection with this drama did their work in a creditable manner. Tire drama Avill be repeated this evening.

Our Goldfilds.

A VERY dull day Avas experienced in the scrip market to-day. The unexpectedly small yield of the Tokatea "specimens" sent that stock to the right about, and from buyers at 14s. shares dropped to 12s. Moanatairis were in no demand at all. About £Q 10s was the ruling price. Other stocks shared the general apathy, and no large transactions of any kind are to be recorded. CROWN PRINCESS G.M.C. We learn that Mr John P. Hall, has been appointed, Manager and takes charge on Monday week, AA'hen AA'orking AA'ill be resumed.

It has been decided to discontinue the daily telegrams re Moanatairi. The new Avinze is to be sunk 75 ft. west of the other, and a drive is to be continued from the bottom of the shaft. They expect to cut the reef in ten weeks. Everything is iioav to be done on orthodox principles. Mr Comer informs me tlie directors never dictated to him. It is said there AA'as a division amongst the directors. Mr Clark was for sloping out the golden block. Mr Stone who prevailed advocated the legiti macy of the working of the mine. SHAREMARKET.

MOANATAIRI.

(From yesterday's Thames " Star.")

Messrs Stone, Wardrop, and Clark, directors of the mine, arrived from Auckland yesterday, and paid a visit to the mine at a late hour last night. They appeared highly pleased Avith their inspection. The result of it, as far as can be ascertained, is that it has been decided not to stope out the rich blocks betAveen the drive from the winze and the 80 feet leA'el, and between the bottom of the Avinze and the drive. It ha 3 also been decided that the system of sending daily telegrams to the head office be stopped, and no telegrams sent unless there be something of importanceto communicate. It has now become an established fact that the '• soft country" in the winze is the slide as cut in the drive from the Avinze. At present the reef standing in the A'.'inzc is being taken out, and put through the single stamper. Yesterday about two tons Avere broken out, and though, perhaps, very little of it Avas rich enough to be designated specimens, yet most of it shewed gold pretty freely. As soon as all the quartz is rercovcclthesinkingof the winze will be resumed on the top of the slide, and Avill be continued to a point where it can be cut by the extension of the 100 feet level, if the course of the slide permit of it. Of course; if the slide lie 3 flat this AA'ill not be possible. The construction of the chamber is now completed, and the flat-lheets, &c. are all laid down. Driving avIH be started this after noon or to-morroAv.

ALBURNIA.

["Operations on the specimen leader, in the Whau level, are being continued, and as far as it goes the operations have proved, at least, that thegold In the specimen leader goes doAA'n. Yesterday some 201bsof good specimens, besides a lot of stuff shoAving gold, were obtained from the drive. The driA'e on tho course of the slide is shoAving that there is a little more mullock in the s'-icle than there avus some two or three weeks ago, but othei'Avise there is no change.

PIAKO.

Of late the crushing for this mine at the Company's battery has been showing decided signs of improvement, doubtless owing to the improvement in the Queen of Beauty end of the mine. The result, of last week's crushing Avas a trifle over 100 ounces of amalgan, and even a larger yield is expected this Aveek. Retorting AA'ill probably take place on Saturday or Monday.

KURANUI HILL UNITED.

The two lodes cut in the North cro3s-cut from tho Pumping Association shaft are eA'idently improving as the drives on their courses are being extended. This morning tho manager reports there is a marked improvement per ceptible in the No. 2 lode, Avhich, it will be remembered, was about a Aveek ago described as being mullocky, as it noAv slioavs about one foot thick of solid quartz with mineral showing.

CURE.

The crushing for this mine at the Tararu battery Avill be completed this afternoon, and judging from the amount of amalgam on hand, no more than an average of something under an ounce to the ton all round can be expected.

MOANATAIRI G.M.C.

(To tho Editor of tlie STAR).

Sir, —Iv the present state of depression in Auckland in all brandies of trade, and the universal cry of scarcity of gold, it must surely be very reprehensible on the part of the directors of the above -Company to leave thousands upon thousands of pounds losked up in the mine, merely for a whim they have taken into their heads. Their vacillating policy has been the cause of so much fluctuation in the price of the stock ; and, to cap all, they, being wealthy men, noAV decline to do that which is the universal Avish of the shareholders. AboA*e all, it is said the daily bulletin from the mine is not to be sent, on the score of economy ! Save the mark ! ! Shareholders should ask the directors to call armceting of the Company to get an expression of opinion from these who have a right to he considered.—Yours, Sec, SHAEEHOKDTCE.

CLEVER SWINDLE ON A BANK Within the last few days, says the "Argus." the City cf Melbourne Bank has been A'ictimised to the extent of about £300. by a parson avlio is evidently an adept in the art of forgery and uttering. Steps were taken by the authorities to prevent the matter getting premature pub licity, in the hope that the offender Avould be the more easily captured. Sufficient, however, has now leaked out to slioav that the swindle Avas perpetrated by means of two skilfully forged cheques, one of them boinar uttered several days after the other, and in a different manner. On the 9th instant, a man, giA'ing the name of Elias Thompson, called at tho City of Melbourne Bank, and presented a cheque for £110, Avhicli purported to be signed by Mr John Hood, manu facturing chemist, Elizabeth-street, and re quested payment of the same. Mr Hood ha\dng an account in this Bank, and the signature being almost a fae-simile of Mr Hood's autograph, no suspicion Avas excited, and the money Avas paid. Not, satisfied Avith this success, the fellow, about a Aveek afterwards, repeated the fraud, but used additional artifice. He Avent to the Colonial Bank, and opened an account there, for himself, with another cheque on the City of Melbourne Bank for £160 I=. This cheque was also in the name of Mr Hood, Avhoso counterfeit signature was as skilfully appended to it as in the former instance. When it was presented by the Colonial Bank at the City of Melbourne Bank, the amount for which it was draAvn was at once paid, the first fraud having not yet been detected. Im mediately after the money had thus been col lected, Thompson withdrew it all, Avith the exception of £8, from the Colonial Bank, and disappeared. On the following morning, when transacting some business at the C ty of Mel bourne Bank, Mr Hood's clerk observed an unaccountable deficiency in his employer's ac count, and Avhen this Avas inquired into, the swindle was discovered. Information Avas then sent to the detective office, and Mr Secretan appointed tAvo of hi 3 most experienced men, Detectives Williams and BroAvn, to investigate the matter, and to bring, if possible, the offender to justice. These officers haA'e been since exclusively engaged in the case, but the offender has not yet been arrested.

A Man Missing.

Just before going to press avc learn that Mr Charles Rowley, tlie discoverer of tlie Phoenix claim at Tairua, is missing. The gentleman referred to is a resident at the Thames, where he has a Avifc and several children. He was in toAvn on business yesterday, and was to have left by the Rotomahana at half-past four. He did not go by that boat, as he is known to have been at the Auckland Hotel betAA'een eight and nine o'clock. The barmaid in the l»wer bar states that he left about nine o'clock, say ing he should go down the wharf. She told him the night boat did not go till 11 but he stuck to his determination, and went aAvay a feAV minutes after. Nothing lias been seen of him to-day. The Captain of the Lalla Rookh was telegraphed to this attcrnoon to send word if RoAvley went down with him, but up to the present no reply has been received. He was the Avorse of driuk when last scon.

INQUEST.

An inquest is proceeding as avc go to press, at the Royal Mail Hotel, before Dr Philson, coroner, and a jury, on the body of George Chrisropher Douglas. Mr Thornton fore man.

Bridget O'Donohue, a married woman, deposed that she kncAV deceased slightly, she lived in the next cottage to him, in Eliot-street. On Wednesday morn ing she heard a moaning noise from the next house, and went in to see Avhat Avas the matter. She saw deceased lying on the floor, apparently dying, frothing at the mouth, and scarcely able to speak- He desired her to go for a medical man, and she Avent to tlie Royal Mail, where Douglas had been employed as night porter.

One of the Advantages of direct communication with America is apparent by the introduction of the Self-Acting Roller Blind. This Roller Blind is perfection. Works in the most natural and easy manner. *No sidelines and racks to get out of order. It falls and rises noiselessly, and the instant response to tlie gentlest touch of the hand is a nios^ pleasing feature. It has been patented and tested for the last 12 years in America, superseding all other kinds. The ROLLER BLIND OF THE AGE is obtainable only at the City Hall Arcade. All new Buildings should be fitted with them, the expense being very little more than the old fashioned sort, and they can be supplied for windoAvs of any size by Holloway and Garlick, General House Furnishers.— [Advt.J
