Sub-Inspector Pardy denied this, when Maxwell g< into a violent passion, and was ordered int Custody and placed by tbe dock. His Worsnip said that Maxwell had been treated Avith respect by the Court, and if lie did not make an apology he must take the consequences. Mavwell said he Avas exceedingly sorry for being so hasty ; he was then discharged. A HUSBAND'S TRIALS. John Hand, the husband of the Avoman who is undergoing imprisonment in Mount Eden Avith the notorious John Hogan, ap plied for an order to recover his bedding and household furniture from the house at NeAA'ton. His Worship said he could not grant such an order, but recommended him to go and take them, first informing the police of his intention. This Avas all the business.

LICENSING COURT.

(Before 11. C. BarstoAv, Esq., R.M., and G. M. Mitford and Joseph May, Esquires, Justices ; Mr W. F. Lodge, clerk.) Mr Lodge said the business of the Court was but small, consisting of six applications for transfer of licenses, and an application from Mr Perkins. The following licenses aa _re granted : — Hugh Hunter, Prince of Wales, to J. H. G. MeLennon ; Adam Cairns, Cosmopolitan, to M. O 'Still ivan ; (Mr Kissling for applicants.) E. Morrison, Rising Sun, to T. G. Kennan; (Mr Hesketh for applicant.) John Riordan, "Custom House Hotel," to Joseph Caffery. The Court, in granting this transfer, asked Mr Caffery to be very-careful in con ducting his house, as it was open perhaps to greater temptations than other hotels. Mr Gallery promised to be careful. W. H. Ripley, York Hotel, NeAvton, to H. W. Stebbing. T. E. EA-ans, Crown, Grey, street, to Ebinezer Hadrill, Avho, it Avas alleged, had conducted his house in a business-like manner since he had taken possession of it, THE OCCIDENTAL HOTEL. Some misunderstanding seemed to haAre arisen in the mind of Mr Perkins, in respect to the necessity for taking out a neAV license for an additional bar to the Occi dental Hotel. The result of the charge was left open, in the expectation that Mr. Perkins Avould make an application for an extra license. On the other hand Mr Hesketh said that Mr Perkins was expecting the Court to decide as to the necessity or non-necessity of a second license. The Court said that it quite understood that Mr Perkins intended to apply for a neAV license, aud considered that it Avould be to his advantage to do so, as Mr Perkins Avas really in danger of loosing his license if another conviction was found against him.

The Bench then retired to take a vieAV of the two bars.

His Worship said that the court bad care fully examined the premises and Avere of opinion that there are tAvo bars at Mr Perkins's house, and it would be necessary for him to take out another license.

Mr Perkins consented to lock up the entrance to the neAV bar until the Ist April, when the neAV license, commencing on that date, Avould giA'e him poAver to make both bars public. The application for a ucav license Avas granted.

ASSESSMENT COURT.— Yesterday.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M. ; Mr Lodge, clerk).

Christopher Greenway complained that his house in Hobson-street was rated at £100, which was £20 too much.

Mr Greenway explained, and the Court reduced the valuation to £96, and a house in Lome-street from £25 to £17.

F. HeAvin and Brother : A grocers shop in Queen-street Avas assessed at £275, Avhich Mr F. HcAvin considered Avas £25 over the mark. Reduced to £250.

Mrs HayAVOod's allotments in Franklin Road Avas reduced by £13 10s.

THIS DAY.

The sitting of this Court Avas resumed this afternoon.

The Court sat at half-past one. The ob jection entered by Mr. Cheeseman on behalf of the Auckland Institute was dismissed on a legal point raised by Mr. J. B. Russell for the City Council. Mr Lusk, on behalf of the Board of Education, objected to the assessment of land in Symonds-street belonging to the Board.

Mr Lusk said the property waa vested in the Board as a site for a Grammar School, -&c.

His Worship, after expressing regret that such places were rated, sustained the valua tion.

Samuel McPherson's objection waß not sustained, being informal. Mr Halydav's property, O'Connell-street, reduced by £80 from £1600. Same, Shortland-street, from £125, to £110.

Same, tAvo houses in Queen-street. One unlet, objection sustained. Hugh G. McCrae, Hobson-street, house nnd shop, reduced from £120 to £105. Thomas McMaster, reduced rrom £230 to £200.

Henry Neuniagen, pawnbroker, as sessedat £150 ; reduced to £120.

Hubert Oram, of the Prince Arthur Hotel; objection not sustained. Mr George Staines, occupier of a building in Upper Queen-street, objected because he could not let it, if he wanted, at £1 per week.

Mr. Stevenson considered that Mr Stains' property Avas very fairly rated. His "Worship : You go in for Mayor, next year, Mr Staines, and you may get matters righted. Mr Staines : Here's Mr Stevenson, only a saddler, puts himself up for a valuator. (Here Mr Staines broke out into a volley of epithets, pitching into the toAvn clerk and the members of the Council, until he was rebuked by the Court. His Worship said Stains had said quite enough, and his objection could not be sustained.

George Williamson, tobacconist, com plained that he paid a very heavy rental, because his was considered a fancy corner. His Worship believed Mr Williamson, but could not entertain the objection.
