THE DINNER

-About seventy settlers sat doAvn to a liberal spread by host Campbell, in the Hall adjoining the hotel. After a comfortable repast, a clearance -was made, and the remainder of the evening w;h spent iv a most, pleasant manner. • The President, Mi' J. B. Brown, occupied the chair, Captain Harris the vice chair, in the room of Mr Constable, vice-president, unavoidably absent. Tin; health of.the Q,uecn, Prince of Wales and Royal family, Avqrc proposed by the chair, and loyally drank. The OoA'ernorf was proposed Iry.thc vice chair, Captain • Harris giving expression to very kindly Sentiments' on the Marquis of Norman by. The members of the General Assembly, proposed by Captain Harris, coupled Avith the name of Captain E. Hamlin, M.H.R. ■ In responding, Captain Hamlin regretted flic 11011 attendance of several other members of ihe House, avlio had intended to lie present at the shoAv, and to pay a Aisit to the various settlement- in order to acquaint tiiem-elves Avith the capabilities of the district, and also to admire the beauties of the country. The oilice of M.H.R. Avas not to be compared to a bed of roses. Captain Hamlin referred in terms of respect to the consistent course pursued by the Auckland members during the sitting of the Mouse, spoke encouragingly to the settlers of Waiukif, and was listened toAvith evident pleasure throughout. Mr G. Barriball, Secretary, read the' report of the judges decision, and Avas pleased to announce that no complaints were made, but oh the oth-r hand, that all exhibitors Avere satisfied Avith the decisions given. The vice-president had to propose The Successful Competitors. e As ■ the largest prize taker, the President Avas called on to propose the health of'thc Judges, but said he really did not deserve the fortunate position oca large prize taker ;he had Opposed the shoAvy but had afteiAvauls fallen in Avith it, and in sending his cattle and sheep, had been unexpectedly rewarded with a long list of prizes, (cheers). Mr BroAvn hoped next year that they should sec more Auckland gentlemen as judges, to show a friendly feeling existed between the two Societies. He was proud of (he, Show. The cattle certainly AA'ere not altogether the best in the world, but they would improve; He suggested linking Hie name of Mr Robertson wijth this toast.

Mr James Robertson, thanked the gentle men for their kindly feeling ;• lie Avas astonished to sec " the large numbers ; of exhibits 'in a district like Wainku. The sheep he ..considered could scarcely be benten", and all the other stock"was'very fair. .'..-.:

Mr Bollard responded. He Avas pleased to hear that the flock exhibits were not the best thai could be produced. Yearling colts Ave.ro good, and agricultural horse very good. The buck* Avere good,-but Ire had thought since iimking the awards that they had not strictly adhered to; thcrpro gramnie, they \had. looked at Ijic ipoints, and judged accordingly. Rut viewed as a roadster he tliouglit the _ml prize horse entitled to 'Ist prize, lie .thought, that in ilio future, )\t<»\\ -chipbusis should berlaid on the action and carriage "of "a hack, not entirely oil the'points of an animal. The programme read for the " Rest Hued_," and 1,1 fe Judges Avere of opinion after 'all, that the 2nd prize avus really the best hack. He did not think the selection of cattle us creditable a one for Waiukti, as he believed the district could produce. With pigs they bcjvt Auckland hollow.-. Tito- .collection of saddlery brought by Mr Morgan from Ncav market" was* also very, creditable. ..Mr Badley . niad'e a -.-feAV, appropriate remarks. ''-'~: •■ ■ ;.-■ r

Mr Macdouald hYd hoped to hav,€| seen more slioav :of produce. Tlie apples Avere good, but the vegetables vrerc very poor, and - might be easily improved' on. He criticised) severely 1 teh want of horticultural energy evident among the settlers

. Mr Bollard proposed "Tlie Unsuccessful Competitors." Mj/Selbysaid he did not intend to be an unsuccessful competitor another -year., Mr Green proposed .".The- Commercial Interests of the . province' of Auckland." He referred to the immense strides made by Auckland, and thought their thanks: specially due to. Auckland. *.' ■■'■;-. Mr Sibbiii responded in a very good!, speech, and entertained the company ';by his "wit and humour. Mr Robertson proposed " The Waiuku Agri cultural Society.' Responded to by Mr b. Barriball.'who said hVAvas the Bth shoAV, and was the largest but one ever held. Mr Hosking had lived long in the district, and could- say that 13 y,_ars ; . ago, there Avere on "Wheeler's, Mays',- and Grahame ..farms better cattle than Avere. to bo.-.seen at tho present time-, , He urged combination of interests to buy well bredhcasts.

He urged the sending-to Auckland of fruit, and recommended that great attention should be paid to their growth, Ite hoped Mr Sibbm Avould give Waiuku the first show in selhng produce at the corner mart. ~ . ~ Mr Roe said the; settlers should be greatly pleased Avith the general character af the-show. He thought a railway would yet come to Wai uku; but they had a-highway .which could be utilised to great.advantage. He compared the present opening tip of steam communication wjM that on tho- Riverhead pne, and thought the three steamers running there -vvhll soon he outnumbered by the Waiuku steamers. .He said thelOregon would bo shortly rumup in three, hours oncl a half. He promised that the Oregon , should bo run up three times every week. He had" a son coming, on as an engineers another one who was destined to be Captain, and another as all round hand.(Cheer3.)MrSibt.in,thc auction eer had forgotten to tell them that last year they made better butter than they had made for 15 years.

THE SCRATCH O.E THE "CATS." ; Thorough punishment avus administered] ito McCann and Kane, ilogged for the Jirst •time to-day, as part punishment. Mc'Caitn at the first lash gave a loud groan, and as each first half-dozen followed lie groaned ! deeply again and again; like a man enduring j most intense pain. After thetenthjash his A-oice partly failed, but he seemed to feel the pain of the .strokes as keenly as ever. As; the twentieth lash struck he Avas silent, his head fell to one side, and he seemed as if about to faint: Mr. Read, carefully on the Avatch, called out " slower," and'there was a cessation in the administration of the punishment for aTcav seconds. It became evident, however, that the prisoner Avas in ho danger of fainting, and that in fact, though TicAvas ma paroxysm of temporary i terror and pain, he was quite able enough to take the remainder oi his punishment. There avus every evideuC3 that the puiiish jnent had been administered with consider able severity.' When unshipped, McCann for a- minute or two, leaned against the triangle for support. Then he was given a drink of Avnter, Avhich revived him a little, and Avith shirt 'throAvu across his shoulders he was led away id his cell by a Avarder, trembling, shaking, and apparently Tho roughly prostrated. Owen Kane is a man of different stuff altogether from McCatih. He winced and gasped at each stroke, but Avith j supreme resolution- refrained fronj uttering a single moan or cry. At the fifteenth stroke bis back was . severely, marked, and by the time the full Quantum of twenty-five lashes had been administered, the right shoulder avus much cut, ;.and bits of the llesh or cuticle had been picked out by the knots in the "cat." He bore the flogging with the greatest possible dogged' ness, although it was quite evident that he suffered severely.

THE BETTING MARKET.

The betting market is quiet, and it is difficult to give a reliable list of quotations, prices varying so much. Maroro is never mentioned how, and a price cannot be given about him. Guy FaAvkcs, Avho Avas second in favour, receded to 100 to 3 since incurring his lieaA-y penalties. Templetou's indis position has caused his retrogression to 10 to 1 offered. As a consequence, Piuiga wereAvere is shortening in price, and the Otago horses tire getting firmer. For the Derby there is no straight-out betting, but many candidates taken in doubles Avith the Cup at prices ranging from 100 to 4 to 100 to 1.

THE VANE BARONETCY CASE.

This ca3e is frill of romantic incidents, and would furnish splendid materials for a novel in two Arolumes. The narrative takes us back to the last century, when Sir Frederick Fletcher Vane became the heir of the entailed estates in Cumberland, left by his father. Sir Lionel Fletcher. Sir Frederick had formed an intimacy with a woman below him in life, Hannah Bowerbank, by whom he had two children. In 1707 she wive birth to a third child, and on the Oth of March in the same year Sir Frederick married her. The main quest ;on before the Conrt was whether that child was born be fore or after the marriage. According to the plum tiff, the birth happened before that event; ac cording to the defendant, the date of it Avas the 2!llh of' March, or about three weeks after the marriage. The child was baptized on the ISfli of' April, under tlie name of Francis Fletcher,' and the 'register contains the statement that, he was born on the 20th March; but these words are Avrittcn in different ink from the rest of the record, and the 'theory of the plaintiff was that, after the register of the baptism, they had been added with a fraudulent intent. Some time after the marriage the parents went (olive at, the family seat in Cumberland, nod, since the illcgitimacv of their two eldest children was a matter of-notoriety. Sir Frederick sought means so far back as 1802, to put, tlie legitimacy of his son Francis beyond dispute, by tiling :* bill in Chancery. The evidence of the nurse and the doctor who had been present at the birth, as' well as of other witnesses, ay.is placed in one of those "sealed packets'" without which no case of a disputed succession Avould be complete. In 1807 Lady Vane had another son, Frederick Henry, Avhd Avas the plaintiff in the suit before the Court. But his elder brothor, Francis; Avas always treated as tho heir. When Francis came Of age, in 1818, he joined with his father in tlie ■ resettlement of the estates, and ho'was described In the deed as tho "son and heir apparent" of of Sir Frederick. A private Act of Parliament having been required in the same year toauthor j ise the sale of a part of the estates, a ce'rtilicatc, that Francis AVriS legitimate came before the Hohse of Lords, and it was' deemed satisfactory. ,10 1823 he married Mips Diana BcaUelork, and again his legitimacy was assumed in the mar iriage settlement: Knowing, however, that two of Sir Frederick's children had been born out of iAvedlock, Miss Beauclerk's father naturally iAvishcdtohavc the legitimacy of his daughter ; husband made as clear as possible* and hcn-e« it is supposed, the fact that eight days after the marriage, Sir Frederick Vane formally entered the date, of his son's birth at the Herald s [College. On two occasions his mother also attested that he had been born after her mar riage. One was in 1833, Avhcn a part of the family estates was sold, and the purchas.r required Home further evidence of birth than the entry in-the register of baptism. L ady Vane ithci-gaA'c the requisite evidence on oath. On ithclevcof her sou's forty-third birthday she 'confirmed that testimony in a letter to himself. At the death of his father, in 1832, he succeeded •to the title and property without haA'ing to encounter a single challenge. In 1812 he him self died; and he Avas peacefully succeeded by his-son, Sir Henry Ralph Vane, the present owner. As the Statute of Limitations makes twenty years of possession a sufficient title to ownership, unless rival claimant's have been minors or married Avomen, or the tenure has been vitiated by fraud, tho family might seem to have-long outlived any of the fears which lie in a writ of ejectment. ! The plaintiff, Frederick Vane,rhe youngest son Of the late baronet, endeavoured to prove that, the birth took place before the marriage, and endeavoured to show that his mother bad stated as much to several persons. He made a claim to tlie estates in 1872,. The Vice-Chancellor regarded- the :cftse as one of the most hopeless cases that had cA-er come ■ before the Court.

I An enquiry; was|beld this moriiing before the' Collector of Customs, Thos.Hlll Esq.f \ into tlie circumstances attending the death Of the seaman, Watson Maxwell; lost over board from the Thurland Castle a iew days before her arrival at this port. Tlie evi dence given by tlie Captain and others, exactly corroborated the description of the accident, AAdiich lias-already appeared TO' OUr cohupiis, The enquiry. Avas purely a formal nub, and it avus satisfactorily shown that no blame was attributable to any one in the -'matter; SVe.iiiay mention, that as is usual in these1 cases,, the. Customs authori-. ties "will receive from the captain of the ship, the effects and Avages belonging to deceased, and that the former being turned into cash tlie total value of his estate Avill be forwarded to the Board of Trade in London, who; will sec that it is remitted to his relations.
