POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before E. C. Barstow Esq., R.M., and Allan O'Neill Esq., J.l'.) Heads Wrong.—Edward Brown bury and James Walker were fined 5s each for drunkenness. DISTUKBEKS OF THE PEACE.—William Crowlej and John McGregor were charged with creating a disturbance by fighting last night in Queen-street. —The prisoners pleaded guilty. McGregor, a man of six feet, said it was entirely his fault; he punched the little man, and he retaliated like a man.—Crowley was fined 10s and ■costs, and McGregor 20s and costs Chimney on Fire.—Thomas Williams was fined 2s 6d and costs for permitting his chimney to be on fire on the morning of the 22nd inst. Mrs Jennings and her Cows.—Win. Jenniugs was charged with depasturing four cows on unenclosed land in Beresrord street on the 22nd hist.—Mrs Jennings stated that the cows were safe in her paddock, but she was continually annoyed by the boys of the locality, who wantonly lifted the vails, and let her cows out.— Constable Jones deposed to having his eye on the cows. He was about to impound them, but on the application of Mrs Jennings he allowed her to take charge of them.— Pined 20s and costs. DESBETING A YOUNG WIFB. -James McKimmie, a youthful-looking man, was charged with failing to provide for his Wife Mary, and her infant.—Mr Tyler appeared for defendant, and pleaded not guilty.—His Worship suggested an amicable arrange ment if possible, as it was very unpleasant to have such matters exposed.—Mr Tyler said the young people had scarcely been married a year, and his wife had not done what she ought to have done, and he feared it was impossible under the circumstances for him to live with her.—Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted the case. -Mary McKimmie deposed that she was married to defendant, a shoemaker. He was desirous of going to Sydney, and requested her to go to her mother for a time. He neglected to call up on her. She then went to his mother- to know what had become of him, when his mother treated her unkindly, and slammed the door in her face. She subsequently met him in Queen-street and asked him what he was going to do with her. He had made no effort to provide for her and her child. "His mother threatened i£ she came to her house, to give her in charge ot the police. She was willing to live with him if he would treat her kindly and find a home for her.— To Mr Tyler : On returning from Sydney, it was arranged that she should live with her mother for a time. He parted with his clothes to pay his passage home. She did not strike him with an umbrella. He struck her because she followed. She never called him bad names, did not tantalise him, did not say she wanted to marry a man on the Hawea. - Margaret Hurley, of Chapel-street, mother of the complainant, deposed that she did not interfere with Mary and her husband. She had been deserted without a cause, in obedience to the wish of his mother, who said she had only one son, and no wife should separate them. Her daughter and child had been supported by her.—Mrs Henry, of Shortland-3treet, was present to speak from her knowledge of the good charac * ter of Mrs McKimmie, but the Bench considered her testimony unnecessary.— Mr Tyler addressed the Court, and showed that the husband had not been in a position to support his wife and child at the time the information was laid. He had since offered 10s per week.—The Court considered that as the man was not in work on the 11th the case must be dismissed, but if it could be shown that he was now in a position to contribute, a fresh information might be laid. —Defendant said he was still willing to pay 103 a week, which was accepted, and the order accordingly made. The Staff of Life.—George Grubb was fined 2s 6d and costs for leaving his father's cart unattended in Nelson-street on the 22nd inst., while delivering bread. On THE FOOTPATH. —Charles Johnston was charged with riding on the footpath in Wellesley-street on the Istli inst.—The case was adjourned for a week.

THE BROOMHALL QUESTION.

(To the Editor of the Smae.)

Sir,—Are we over legislated, or what is the matter ? A responsible board appointed by Government make a bona fide agreement ■with a man (Mr Broomhall), who distinctly stated that he was acting as agent for several English capitalists for the sale of a certain block of . land, "Te Aroha," stipulating that it shall be settled by a number ot immigrants in a certain time, &c, &c. All is arranged comfortably, when upspringsthis mythical Thames miner, ■who finds it is actually necessary be should start farming on this very block, and no where else. Now, Mr Editor, can you tell your readers who is it wishes to grind an axe ? It is said that Mr Broomhall tried to form a company ; what ncatters it to us so long as it is exterior capital and labour we attract to the colony ? The Thames miner and his money are already in the colony, and we are not likely to lose him, while we have the auriferous Coromandel peninsular for him to farm. Let him still farm with the same energy he has hitherto displayed, and who can. tell some day he may be manager of a mine, or who knows a legislator even. It is a cruel wrong done to a colony like this to allow a penny to leave its shores that can be kept, but to throw away £3,500 is monstrous, and I am sure Mr Broomhall or his company's 10s per acre, and the exterior labour to be intro duced, is of more value to us than even £4 per acre from one of our own community. I look at the labour as being of more value than the capital, because by its introduction we have both a producer and a consumer, whose wants impart a stimulus to every branch of production.—Yours, etc., Te AItOHA,
