CHEQUE AND CHECK.

Thomas Henry Pearson was charged with obtaining goods and money, value £2, with a valueless cheque, with intent to defraud Mr Walter Dawson, chemist, of Wellesley-street. Mr Dufaur appeared for prisoner, and said he understood Mr Dawson was willing to wait until prisoner's pension was due, and he would ask, therefore, that Captain Pearson migh: be released. Sub-Inspector Pardy said this was not the only offence against the prisoner; he was indebted to Dr Dawson and would have piesented a similar cheque todihn had he tfeliivat home.

Mr Dawson said he would leave the matter 'in the hands of Mr 'Pardy, he was not desirous of 'pressing the chage, if the arrangements for payment could be satisfactorily made. The Court discharged the prisoner. THE SERVANT GIRL. Emma Whitlock was again called to an swer to a charge, of leaving the service of Messrs Garrett Brothers, without giving notice. Mr Devore appeared for Messrs Garrett Brothers, and Mr Thorne for prisoner. The girl was unable to be present. Mr Devore said that the prosecutors had ascertained that the girl was really ill. and under the circumstances they would not press the charge. The case was then withdrawn. CHARGES OF ASSAULT. William H. Moyle was charged with as. .saulting Mary Dempsey, on the ISth inst, by striking her in the face. Miss Dempsey here came forward, and -masked that the case might be withdrawn,as she was leaving Auckland. She did not fear the prisoner. Withdrawn. Prisoner was then charged with striking h woman named Fowler, and putting her out of the house.

Mr Moyle pleaded not guilty, as he could prove by two respectable witnesses. Honora Fowler deposed that she took a house in West Queen-street of Mr Moyle; and shortly after she got in, defendant put her out. He upset her, pulled her hair, pushed her head against the wall, and bundled «ut her bed.

John Fowler made a similar statement

Thomas Jasmine, cook, deposed that he lodged in the same house, and yesterday there was a hue and cry, '' the Fowlers are coming," and everybody was preparing to leave the street. He did not see Moyle strike her.

Priscilla Henrietta Smith lived next door, and was horrified at the idea of the Fowlers living next door, %he spoke to Mr Movie about them.

Defendant deposed that he used gentle measureSjlrat acknowledged to bundling the things out in the rain. Fowler said his bed was soaking wet, and his furniture damaged. His Worship considered that Moyle had overstepped his duty, and recommended him to compensate Fowler for damage and Inconvenience.

Defendant said certainly, and the case ivas dismissed.

Thi? was all the business

THE S.S. WELLINGTON ON MANUKAU BAR.

(To the Editor of the Star)

Sir, —Lest any unsophisticated reader .should suppose that the letter of " One Who Knows" in this morning's Herald was written with a genuine desire to supply an omission, and recognise the exertions of the Chief Officer and crew of the Wellington, it is as well to state that there is plainly visible between the lines the fine Roman hand of one whose pkiable funk calledgforth a well merited and contemptuous rebuke from Captain Lioyd. The chief officer and others of the ship's complement, did their duty manfully, as was very readily and gracefully acknowleged by Captain Lloyd in last night's STAR. But the captain -alone directed the measures which were successful in bringing the ship safely out of ;i most dangerous position. Tne opinion o f " One who Knows" on nautical matters I s so nearly on a level with his veracity and plucky qualities, that I need not waste your space in noticing him further.—Yours &c., Another who Knows.

MR BURTON'S NEW DINING ROOMS.

Mr Charles Burton, who has acquired a reputation in connection with the public 'ta3te as a caterer of the first order, has removed to co:nmodious premises between Arthur's auction mart and the Theatre Royal, •which he has re-fitted and opened as a refresh ment and dining house. We have looked over Mr Burton' 3 new premises, and noticed that the rooms are decorated and well-f nrnished for the accomodation ot: visitors. Mr Burton's long experience in both countries, enables him to select necessaries with discriminating judg ment, the joints, poultry, and pastry being prepared by efficient hands under his imme diate supervision. Professor Liebeg ia his work " The Chemistry of Food," says :— " Among all the arts known to man, there is none which enjoys ajuster appreciation, and the products of which are more universally admired, than that which ia concernedviu'the preparation of our food. Led by an instinct which has almost reached the dignity of con scious knowledge, as the unerring guide, and by the sense of taste which protects the health, the experienced cook, with respect to the choice, the admixture and the preparation of food, has made acquisitions surpassing all that chemical and physiological science have done in rezard to the doctrine or theory of nutrition.' The diningr-room, lavatories, and connecting t>ffice3 of Mr Burton's dining establishment have been thoroughly renovated, and the customer immediately on entering feels con scious of cleanliness and comfort. The kitchen possesses a cooking apparatus, range, and stove 3, and every neces3ary for culinary pro gress and perfection. Upstairs is a light, cosy, aining room, entirely for ladies, with a retired ante-room for tidivating and arranging before leaving for the bustle of the public streets. ine3o rooms have been liberally patronised dunn? the present week, and we feel assured Jhat the proprietor will do his best to sustain his yvel! earned reputation in hij useful line of business.

VALUE OF GOVERNMENT BUILD INGS.

Mr Clapton, Colonial Architect, is en gaged making a valuation of all Government buildings in this district. He is b^ino assisted by Mr Wales. ~ ° " SPEEDY JUSTICE. At Clinton on Tuesday, as-Judge Ward descended from the coach on his' way to Invercargill, he ordered into custody a. drunkard named Hall, who was usui** abusive language, and there and then sen° tenced him to 14 days hard labour, which transaction only occupied the time the horses were being changed. MR. PROUDFOOT AND RAILWAY

CONTRACTS. Messrs Macandrew, Stout, Reynolds, and Brown, M.H.R., attended the Chamber of Commerce conference, re the railway. The chairman read correspondence, which showed that Messrs Proudfoot and McKay offered to construct the gaps on the main lines for 15 per cent alone. Brogden's price for a million contract, taking 6 per cent debentures at par or cash in payment, and pledging them selves to finish the southern section in ten, and northern sections in nine months from acceptance of tender. The Government reply that they see no reason for letting the works otherwise than by public tender. On the subject of branch railways Mr Ma aidrew did not think any would be made for many a long day. If Otago had been left to develop her own resources, ever\ r main road would have turned into a railroad.

Mr Reynolds said lie would not vote for any branch railways' unless it was clearly shown they would pay something above working expenses, and only some lines in Canterbury and Otago do that. He urged the Chamber to study the unequalities of representation, and move in that direction. Mr Stout agreed for an amendment of the Railway Act in the direction that the Go verment when it decided an taking over the line, should give constructors some thing above prime cost. Also Counties should be endowed with land for the pur pose of making lines within their own boundaries.

Mr C. Brown caused much laughter by saying he mainly succeeded in getting the Tuapeka line by making a bargain with Taranaki members to vote for the Waitara line, and so getting their support. There was a warm passage of arms between Messrs Driver and Macandrew. The former persistently charged the City members with remissness last session, saying it would have been better for the constituents interested if they had dealt less with sentiment and more with practical business.

Mr Macandrew replied that the charges were without foundation. Otago would never get her railways until she got possession of her own Government, and he hoped this session would produce such a revolution of the political wheel as would result in that. He would not sell his vote for a railway at the request of any member of the Chamber.

It is said the deceased was given to drink, and her son thrashed her.

[PRESS AGENCY.]

THE TRANCE MEDIUM IN DUNEDIN.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir,— I saw the enclosed letter this morning in the " Otago Guardian," and as it has to do with your statements about me, I ask you to kindly insert it in some corner ot! your valuable paper.—Yours respectfully, Thomas Walker. Duneuin, Juno 12th, 1877.

WALKER'S ANTECEDENTS. To the Editor of the " Otago Guardian." Sir,—ln promiscously looking over a volume of "Medium and Daybreak/ published in Lon don, for the year 1875, kindly lent by a friend, I observe therein recorded, on second April of the same-year, that the " Walker Spirit Medium," now amongst us, did, at 1C years of age, give hi 3 first public lecture "as a medium," at the Assembly Rooms, Liverpool, presumably under the control of Mungo Park. The lecture wa3 entitled "The Church of Rome, and the Church of Christ; a Contrast." It is fully reported, and,, to my mind, is a perfect masterpiece of logic. Mr E. Foster, ot Preston, Kngland, subscribes to the truth ot this. Again, I find in another paper of the same name, dated 15th December, 1876, that a Mr Joseph Swift. U, Scheles-3treet, Wigan, England, writes a long report about seances held at the house ot the "Walker family" (who appear to be all mediumistic), and further testifies that I homas Walker, (the one here) was born 6th February, 185S, SO that last February he -was nineteen years of age. Persons desirous of ascertaining the truth of these extracts can do so privately through you. They, however, present a marked contrast to the relative statements that appeared in the Auckland Star, and my only object has been to publish them through your columns in the interests of Fair Play.

MR CALEB ROBINSON AND THE ODDFELLOWS.

(To the Editor of the Star). Sir,—ln your issucof TkursdayJasfc,appears a letter signed Caleb Robinson, having reference to and commenting on a meeting of some of the members of the Fountain of Friendship Lodge of Oddfellows, at what the writer is pleased to term a public house. Now,sir,as the impression conveyed in that letter is likely to mislead your readers, and tend to bring discredit not only upon the Lodge, but on the gentlemen who composed that meeting, (any one of whom will compare favourably with the writer, Caleb Robinson), |1 think it is desirable that a groundless assertion like this should not be permitted to go unchallenged; and further mo <; .a o one who was present, I can posi tively affirm that not one at that meeting so far forgot himself as the writer would ■wish to infer. In fa ;t, many who were there were total! abs .ainers, neither was there anything said or done that wiJl bring discredit on our honorable Onlay Die public house referred to is one of the leading and best conducted hotels m the colonies, viz., the Army and Navy. 1 ■ ,o think that the remark made in refer reo to kindred Societies was ill-judged a:nl put of place, and in conclusion I think, sir that when C. Robinson assumes the role of mentor of public morals, it is for members of his Lodge to hide themselves, and be seen no morn. Apologising tor trespassing <>n your valuable space,—l am, «;•• *on.-s. &.?.,'Alfred Al^v.

THE ELIZABETH CONWAY SAFE.

Mr BRAXN,the owner of the Elizabeth Con way, has this morning received a telegram from Captain Ware,the master.stating that his vessel is safe in Totaranui, a small port between Nelson and Westport. The teleoram we received yesterday in reference to her supposed wreck must,'therefore be erroneous. The Elizabeth Conway is on her way from Lyttelton to Hokitika, and iiad to take shelter in Totarauui from the westerly gales.

ARCHDEACON MAUNSELL'S LECTURE.

The first of the winter series of lectures on behalf of the \ oungMen's Christian Association, was delivered last evening in the Lorne-st.-eet S. al.V ?y tne Yen- Archdeacon Maunsell. Mr Jurth in the chair. The subieet of the lecture was the "New Testament in the first three Centuries," and it was handled in a scholarly manner. Ihe chairman presented some interest ing facts in proof of the truth of Scripture from modern discoveries of sites of ancient cities in connection with the sacred records. Dr Maun sell's lecture was learned and instructive, especially to those who had not been privileged to investigate and compare the annals of the past, in relation to religious progress. The lecturer quoted from the writings of the Fathers and from Gibbon, and other anthoritie3,to shew tun persecutions and trials of the early Chris tians, and that Christianity was a great power at the time when the Homans. werei in the full glow of their"martial strength and glory; even m tiiose remote days, possessed splendid churches and wealth, and was an organisation of no mean position, as the writings of St. Paul sufficiently indicates. The lecturer proceeded to shew that authentic copies of the Scriptures were also possessed by the churches of the east ern world, and that upon the restoration of peace Constantine commissioned Eusebius to procure a number of copies for the use of th« churche*. Having gone carefully over the historical evi dence in favour of the New Testament, the lec turer proceeded to deal with the mode of testing the scriptures by the enquirer in order to patisfy ins mind, and referred to Best's "Laws of evidence " for examples, treating of the sources of statementsandcxistingevidentialmommienls of event*. The Doctor thought that if these Gists were reasonably applied, the potency and genuineness of scripture would te irresistible and convincing. The lecture throughout dis played deep research, and was listened to by the numerous audience with becoming atten tion. The choir of St. Mary's Parnell,' was in attendance, and sang several pieces under the direction of Mr Livingstone. The meeting con cluded with the benediction, pronounced by Bishop Cowie, and votes of thanks to the lec turer, the choir, and chairman, which were carried in the usual way. The next lecture on the 29th inst, will be given by Roy. Alien Webb, of Wellesley-street, oh 'Personal Recollections of India, and its People."

NIPPER AND THE COCKATOO.

There is a sagacious little boy employed at'a solicitor's office in Auckland. He is of small stature, something after Dr Watt's stamp,with a noble head like an alderman's poised upon his little shoulders. He is well and favourably known in legal circles by the cognomen of " Nipper," Nipper's noble head appears to have excited the jealousy of Captain Williams' cockatoo, for this morning a fight took place. The bird Hew at the boy and tore off his hat, and before the lad had time to enter a protest, or draw up a brief, the irascible cockatoo had darted in upon his prey, covered the devoted head with his wings, seized hold of poor little Nipper's nose in one of his talons, with the other gripped Nipper's left ear, and worse than all, bit Nipper, pecked at the organ of causality, (which is, as it should be, a large develop ment in this sucking attorney-general). Before the bird was driven off, lie had drawn many drop.--of legal valuable bloodout of Nipper. * The hitter's forehead bears the marks of the conflict to this hour. The cockatoo has many charges laid at its door of attacking little "children, but this \a the first case reported of its attacking a young member of the bar. It is understood that Nipper intends to apply for an injunction at the next sitting of the Court, to restrain the bird from further depreda. tions.

JOSEPH NKW.MAX. Chairman

An interesting relic of the early history of the colony was brought up to town by the lona this morning. This is the 18-pounder gun of the brig Boyd, the crew of which were massacred by Maoris at Wangaroa 40 years ago. Mr Christie, of Wangaron, has sent up the gun to be placed in the Auckland Museum. It is veiy^nuch worn by lying on the sea beach nearly the whole time since the massacre, and oysters have made ther home inside the muzzle. All traces of a touch-hole have long since disappeared.

The first musical and literary entertain ment in connection with the penny read ings of St. Thomas' Mission School, Union-street, will be held on Monday evening next, Rev 11. S. Hassard in the chair. The choir Avill render musical selections, and several ladies and gentle men will assist with speech and voice. Mr Gradwell will sing a favourite ballad, and Mr Blackmail will read an original poem.

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 side lines .and rack? to get out of order. It fall 3 and rises noiselessly, and the instant response to the gentlest touch of the hand ia a most pleasing feature. It has been patented and tested for the last 12 years in America, superseding all other kinds. The ROL LE R 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 windows of any size by Holloway and Garlick, General House Furnishers.— [Advt.l
