JUDGMENT SUMMONS.

George Akers v. Harriett King. Claim, £6 3s 3d. Mr George for plaintiff. Defendant, a single woman, said she would confess the debt, and also, that her name was Joanna, and not Harriet. His Worship recommended that the judgment summons should be cancelled, and a summons issued in the proper name, as he could not send defendant .to prison, should it come to that, in the name of Har riet King. Defendant said that she was willing to pay as soon as possible, but she had suffered considerable loss in business ; she was now in a situation, and was paying her creditors to the best of her ability out of her wages. Mr George consented to allow the case to stand over, and to the alteration as suggeted by the Court,

DEFENDED CASE,

F. M. Hewson v. Ann Mulvaney.

Claim, £2, rent. Mr George tor plaintiff and Mr Brock for defendant. Mr Brock took objection to the form of the summons, as defendant was a married woman, and should have been sued jointly with her husband. Mr George stated that the defendant was living separately from her husband, and had a protection order. Mr Brock said such was the case, but it -had been condoned.

Ann Mulvaney was examined, and deposed that she was living under a pro tection order in a house in Lome-street. She was allowed to live on the property rent free by Mary Wood, who told her to take no notice of any one who might ask for rent. She had previously paid 4s a week to Mr Lennox. She refused to give up possession to several persons whe pro fessed to own the property ; but she stuck to the home by permission of Mrs Wood, who had left Auckland. She did •not know where to find Mrs Wood. Francis M. Hewson, surveyor, deposed that he was the owner of the property in dispute, which had been transferred from Mr Hitchens to him (certificate of title deed produced.) Mr Brock objected to the document being received in evidence, as plaintiff baa not shown that he purchased it. Plaintiff said that he bought the property on the 14th of March of Mr. Hitchens, and on going to ask Mrs. Mulvaney when it would be convenient for her to give up pos session she slammed the door in his face. He immediately put the matter in the hands ot his solicitors. Joseph T. Armitage, clerk to Messrs. Hughes and George, deposed to serving de fendant with notice to quit on the 15th March.

Mr. Brock said there was no case to answer, and he would ask for a nonsuit. Mr. George having addressed the Court to the effect that Mrs. Mulvaney was some body's tenant, and wa3 therefore a tenant at will, His Worship said the prosecution must fail, as there Avas no tenancy existing, and no evidence that the cottage was on any particular allotment. Plaintiff accepted a nonsuit; costs, £1 Is €d.

This was all the business,

SUPREME COURT.

THIS DAY.

"" (Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies and

•■a common jury). His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock SENTENCE ON MRS. WABEEN.

Gertrude Warren, who pleaded guilty to stealing certain goods from the house of Mrs Haslett, Waterloo Crescent, on the 23rd of March, was brought to receive sentence for the first offence, the jury having acquitted the prisoner of-the charge of arson. Mr Hesketh said with the permission of the Court, I will now make a few state ments of fact regarding the prisoner before sentence be pronounced. Sometime ago Mrs Warren's husband, to whom she was married in Sydney a year ago, left here by the Rotorua. He has not since written to her or sent any money. At the time of the theft her resources were running short, and in sheer desperation she stole Mrs Loune s clothes. I trust your Honor will not pass heavy sentence on the prisoner as her moral character is unimpeachable, and it would not be right that she should be obliged to mix long with bad characters. Hl3 Honor said that as this was evidently the prisoner's first offence, and as the state of the gaol was unsuited to women of her class, he would only pass a very light sentence. Six months imprisonment with hard labour.

STEALING A HOESE,

James Thomson was charged with steal ing a gelding at Alexandra on the 10th November, 1875, the said gelding being the property of David Bruce. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brookfield opened the case for the Crown by recounting the circumstances under which the theft took place. JJsvid Bruce deposed to lending the geld ing to a man named Wilson, and afterwards seeing it at Roaches place. Later, witness heard the horse was stolen. He did not lend or give it to prisoner. Geo. Slater, alias Wilson : I remember Bruce lending me the gelding in May, 1875. I afterwards missed it from our run. I next saw the horse 12 months afterwards at Mr Hughes' hotel, Alexandra. I knew it at once, and caught it. I was quite satisfied it was Bruce's horse. I knew the prisoner. He used to come frequently to Alexandra before the loss of the horse. L-4t«4y ■he has not been there at all.

Geo. Carter said : I was residing at the Alexandra Hotel, Alexandra, in 1875. I remember Hughes asking me if I wished to buj a hor.se. I there saw the prisoner. He said ho had a horse for sale, and lifter seeing it, 1 said I would buy it. It was a gelding, and had a Avail eye. I paid £5 for it. The prisoner then gave me the receipt for £8 (handed in). I shewed the horse to Slater. Afterwards I laid a charge against the prisoner. Stephen Edward Hughes, proprietor of the Alexandra Hotel, Alexandra, in 1876, gave a similar account of the sale of the horse. He could not say Avhy a receipt for £S instead of £5 had been given. Constable McLeod deposed to finding the horse and to getting a warrant out against Thomson. When the case ' was brought on at Alexandra it was dismissed, as there were no witnesses. I cannot say why a remand Avas not applied for. If lam obliged to speak I must admit that it was because of instruction from the Resident Magistrate that I did not apply for a remaud.

This was the case for the prosecution. William Serank : The prisoner is my brother in-law. I was present with Thom son when he met Hughes in Wyndham streot. After they had exchanged civilities, Hugehs asked prisoner ior the money for the horse or an 1.0. U. He said he would give him in charge if it were not forthcoming. Mr Hesketh then addressed the Court on behalf of the prisoner. His Honor summed up, after which the jury retired, and the Court was adjourned till 1.45.

At two o'clock the Jjury brought in a verdict of "Is ot Guilty," and Thompson was consequently at once discharged.

INDECENT ASSAULT.

Andrew Smith was charged with indecently assaulting his daughter, Anne Smith, on the 16th day of March. Women and childron were requested to retire from the Court, and the doors were closed.

Mr Dufaur appeared jfor the prisoner. Mr Brookfield opened the case for the Crown.

It appears that the father and daughter lived alone in a small house at Coromandel. On the night of the 16th March it is alleged that Smith came home drunk and com mitted the indecent assault complained of.

Annie Smith said : I remember the night of Saturday, the 16th of March. I went to bed about ten o'clock. My father came home about midnight.. I was asleep. He woke me up by shaking me. I think he was drunk. He asked me if I was sleepy. I said yes. (Witness described the assault). I screamed out. He hit me on the head, and twld me not to sing out again, or he would hammer me. I did not permit the assault. I dared not call out again because I was frightened. Father had treated me thus more than once before. The first time was on a Sunday a long time ago. I told no one what he did on the 16th of March, because he said he'd kill me if I did. He had made this threat more than once. I did not tell my mother, because I was afraid. On the following Wednesday night, he came home after eight o'clock, drank. After he had had his tea he pulled me by the dress ; I said "don't, Pa." He got angry, and said he would have none of my mother's tricks. Then he got up, and | threw his spectacles at me and said he would kill me. He went into the bedroom and put his hand on his axe. Then he began to pull off his cnat. I opened the door and ran away to Mrs Glover's ; I told her father was going to kill me. Mrs Glover told me to go to my mother's. Mother saw a Constable that night, and so did I. He went to look for my father. lam twelve years old. In answer to Mr Dufaur : I spoke to no one on the road on my way to Mrs Glover's. My father has often beaten me for telling stories. I have been living with my mother lately. My mother never told me to say this of my father. Father and mother do not live together. I know Mrs Glover. I came up from Coromandel with her. I have an aunt in Auckland. I was up here in Court on Monday. Two ladies and my. aunt were there with me. I was crying. I said I was a very naughty girl, and that all I had said about my father at Coromandel was false. Mrs Glover said to me, "Who told you to say so." I said, "My mother." Mrs Glover said she didn't think it was true my n other had done such a thing. What I said at Coromandel is nevertheless true. I spoke thus to Mrs Glover because Pa told me to say so. I have been scolded at school for telling falsehoods. Father constantly told me not to tell lies. I have been beaten for going to see boys bathing. Father has committed more than ten indecent asßaults upon me. Re-examined by Mr Brookfield : I saw my father on the boat coming up from Coromandel. He beckoned me to speak to. him, and said, "Don't spoil my life. If you had'nt run aAyay so quick that night I was'nt going to touch you." I "said "You were drunk." He then said " Say it was all false, and that your mother told you to make it up." He also asked me to be a good girl, and not to spoil his life, as if he got thrashed he would die, and I should be sorry ever after. The constable then came and fetched me away. In answei to His Honor : Witness said her mother was the first person she Jtold of the indecent assault. _. \ p Jane Glover said : I know Annie Smith. She came to my hotel about half-pa-tj six one evening crying, and said her father was goin^lito tomahawk her. I asked why? She said because I won't do what he wishes. I asked what that was, and she told me. She said she was ffoing to the police, but 1 persuaded her to go to her mother nrst.

She was crying bitterly, and appeared much excited. Cross-examined by Mr Dufaur : Witness said Annie Smith "bore a bad character. She was a well-known liar, and frequently took things from peoples' houses _ The prisoner has always behaved very kindly to his child. On Monday last in the Court waiting-room the girl said to witness she had told an untruth about her father. Dr. Hovel gave medical evidence, which was distinctly favourable to the prisoner. Constable McCaffery deposed to arrest ing the prisoner, and to seeing father and daughter in conversation on board the Coromandel steamer.

This was the case for the prosecution. Mary Fury said the girl Smith had been i;i her service, and that she had found her a deliberate liar and a thief.

FIRE IN FORT-STREET.

A FEW minutes before eleven o'clock last night a fire broke out in the smith's shop of Mr G. IT. Burnett, of Fort-street. The fire was first observed by two little girls, who immediately raised the alarm, and on the ringing of the fire-bells, no less than from 20 to 30 blue jackets rushed from the various restaurants to the scene of the fire, and immediately mounted the roof, some with pieces of paling, and with these, and their blue jumpers, caps, and kicking on the roof, soon put the fire out, to the admiration of hundreds of spectators. The Fire Brigade came on the spot somewhat late, and did not seem to relish the praise accorded to the blue jackets from H.M. ships in harbour, more especially as three cheers were called for the sailors. We are sorry to say that Mr Superintendent Hughes lost his temper, and so far forgot himself as to kick a little boy who was in the way and making some noise, causing a cry or " Shame !" from some of the bystanders. We know from actual observation that boys are often a gnat nuisance at fires, by getting in the way ■ and obstructing the movements of the firemen; but it 13 to be regretted that Mr Superintendent Hughes, usually so self-possessed and skilful at fires, should have so far lost his temper on tlrs occasion as to use unnecessary violence. Credit is due to the blue jackets for their prompt action in saving the adjoining workshops. We may mention the names of two sailors, Messrs Mounce and Elwin, of H.M.s ship Wolverine, and Messrs Dean, Bailey, and Norrie, as among the most active in their efforts to subdue the flames. The cause of the fire is not known, but it is conjectured that it was caused by a spark from the anvil lodging in the roof; others again thiuk that it arose from an outside cause. It was very fortunate that the fire was dis covered on its outbreak, and that the sailors were at hand, or the damage aright have been far more serious.

MINING NEWS

Corby.—l visited lrcre to-day, and found that some first-class picked stone had been obtained yesterday in the foot wall leader in the intermediate level. A lower level has been put in a distance of sixty feet, and the lode will be in hand at a further distance of 40 feet. As the country is good, this may be looked for in the course of a week or ten days

Eureka.—This claim, which adjoins the Corby, has got out some first rate stone from tlie lode which traverses both claims, and underlies to the Golden Point, the latter claim is looked upon as one of the best investments on the field at the present, and shares are eagerly looked for at the quoted price. From our observation the Golden Point claim have only to drive a few feet before coming upon the leader now in hand in the Corby and Eureka claims, Urns obviating the necessity ef sinking.

DUNEDIN, this day.

ROUGH ON WELLINGEON LAWYERS. •

Referring to Mr Barton's speech, tho "Times" says : " If the charges are true, they shew a state of things as dangerous as it is disgraceful to New Zealand, and if the case is overstated, it is the duty of some one to come forth and champion the law courts. It should not be for the lack of willing hands, for among the contemptible sycophants of tho Wellington bar, that, from its conduct in relation to the famous petition to the Assembly, should be chased with hisses from the profession of law, there should surely be some one found prepared to take up the gauntlet for the sake of the reward of a judicial smile. We cordially hope the words of Mr Barton will find an echo in the country and in the House ; and that, backed up as he is by the independent-minded lawyers of Dunedin and Christchurch, he will succeed at least in having an inquisition made into the charges he brings ; and we shall learn to think, despite the sycophancy of the wretched creatures who fawn and cringe in a wig and gown at Wellington, that we must congratulate Wellington on being represented by Mr Barton, in place of a purposeless, Vacillating, whimsical rattle brain, like his predecessor. The papers here urge reform in the Con stitution of the Coroner's Jury system.

MR WASON'S.POLITICS

Mr Wason, member for Coleridge, ad dressed his constituents here last night. He condemned Mr Larnach's conduct, and blamed Major Atkinson for not resigning on Mr Ballance's Native Lands Court Bill resolutions, and for taking part in trying to oust Sir George Grey after the latter was in power, but said the Major's motives were pure, and he desired personally to withdraw from office. He (Mr Wason) thought Sir George Grey should have had, and should still have a fair trial. He would oppose Sir George Grey's measures with moderation, but not bitterness. He opposed manhood suffrage. Mr Wason received a vote of thanks.

It would be difficult to select a younger team, their average age not being more than 23 years, so that tliey may be nearly all considered as cricketers of the improving sort, and well calculated to stand the hardships of the trip they are taking. The first match will take place at Nottiu^liam on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd May, and after that-there will be twenty days' cricket without stopping except on Sundays.

A HOLIDAY TRIP TO RANGITOTO.

There is not one -•«£. _th.c. many enchanting islands, which like diamonds stud the waters of the city of Auckland, of which there is less known, and which receives fewer visits from pleasure parties than Kangitoto. Its frowning peaks, towering grimly into the clear azure sky, tho repulsive appearance of its scoria bound sides, and the ostensible absence of sheltering trees, have all combined to repel pleusure seekers from its shores. But all who have from time to time ventured to land to seek a spot where they could aive themselves up to merry-making, and forget for a while the toils and annoyances of every-day life, have been both surprised and delighted at the charming prospect opened to their view. Instead of the bleak, bare, uninviting rock, which it appeared to be at a distance, it was found clothed with umbrageous trees, many of extensive growth, and presenting a picturesque appearance from the water's edge. On Saturday last a pleasure purty, composed of gentlemen from the firms of Messrs Kempthorne. Prosser and Co., Rus3ell and Dovore, Ireland Broa., and the Bank of New South Wales and Sonth British Insurance Company, started for a brief sojourn on the island, and with the further intention of accomplishing the heroic exploit of ascending to its summit—an undertakingrwhich is looked upon in Auckland circles as sufficient to entitle the performers to the Order of the Star of India, or any other trifle of that kind. A beautiful breeze from the west caused us to akim swiftly along the lovely waters of the Waitemata and to reach our destination, a pretty little harbour on the south-eastern end of the island, by five o'clock. After landing our baggage and a most formidable commissariat, a detachment went off fishing, while the rest remained to erect tho tent, light a fire, and see to the general require ments of tho camp. After about an hour's absence the fishermen returned with about a score of splendid Bchnappers ; and without much scruple,'' polißhed off, to use the vernacular of one of the party, about tho half of a fine Belfast bam, cold, tonguo, cake, tea, and sundry bottles of Bass's purest brew all of which had been prepared by the few thoughtful ones who had remained on shore. Supper over, an enormous camp fire was lit, and the whole party arranged themselves around thelsame, as iolly and con tented as ever the forty thieves of mediceval fame could possibly have been. Here story telling, punning, card-playing, ard various other amusement* were indulged in till nine o'clock, when an adiournment was made to tho tent. Somebody suggested Byron's lines—

" No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure

meet To nhase the glowing hours."

But this sentiment was negatived by a largo majority, as it would be advisable to got up with the lark the next morning to commence our arduous ascent of the mountain. However, fun was kept up to a late hour; and a mock trial ior highway robbery, in' which judges, counsel, and jury, were Auly employed, caused immense amusement, and many aching sides. Mr M. and Mr N. were counsel for defence and prosecution respectively. Some Russophobe among the party started to sing " Rule Britannia," and tho chorus of this fine old national song was seized upon by all, and rattled out in stentorian tones to every song which was sung during the even ing. It was two o'clock before the faint articula tion of the last-flgflauiropping off into dream land of "Bri—i—i—tan—ia ru—u—lea the waves" died away into thin air, and then sweet silenf-o reigned supremo ; broken only by the chirping of a solitary cricket, or the gentle splashing of the waves upon the rocky promentory on which we were encamped. Precisely at 6.30 o'clock on Sunday morning the order to rise was given, and then for an htJur the time was occupied according to everyone's individual inclination. Some went off " oystering," and were very suc cessful, bringing home large supplies of delicious oysters, which, to uso an expressive American ism, went down "high" for breakfast. Others went bathing, notwithstanding that a sha^k about fourteen feet in length came up to within thirty feet of where our tent was pitched. At half-past eight o'clock we commenced the ascent. In ascending Rangitoto one of the first objects of visitors should be to seek for one of the lava tracks, of which there about four in various parts of the island. When the mountain was an active volcano, this lava, then molten, must havo come from the crater in immense streams and run down the sides where tho dried scoria now remains. We were fortunate to strike one of these " tracks;" I suppose I may call them such (though in a very wide sense); and after much toil reached the summit in 1 hour and 45 minutes from the time of starting. In many places we had to penetrate dense jungles and emerge in the face of a steep cliff, then descend into scoria valleys where walking was extremely dangerous, owing to the brittle nature of the boulders. Overcoming all, how ever, we made our aßcent un fait accompli by 10.15. After c long "spell, and sundry pota tions of diluted Hennessy, wo placed m a bottle on the most elevated peak our names and. remarks, and started for home. The descent was accomplished very rapidly, occupying only 65 minutes. At 12.30 we bad the satisfac tion of reclining under the welcome shade of our canvas, on the sea shore, exhausted with fatigue, from which however under well-known restoratives, we speedily recovered. The afternoon was spent in a jolly manner, and at 5.30 we bade adieu to Rangitoto in its solitary grandeur and headed for Auckland against a very stiff wind and choppy sea. Passed the North Head at 6.15, and arrived at the Break water at 7.30, one and all expressing unqualified satisfaction with the trip and admiration for the rugged scenery of the Etna of Auckland.
