POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

MASTEB HENRY HART. Henry Hart, a youug man, was charged with being drunk* svearing, and damaging Constable McLellau'a uniform on Saturday night. Prisoner pleaded guilty to boing drunk, but did not remember splitting Constable McLellan's trousers.

Constable McLellan deposed to seeing prisoner fighting in Victoria-street, he de sired him to desist, when he aimed a deadly blow at his head, but ho bobbed on one side, and escaped the blow. Ho then caught him by the leg of bis trousers and split them up. Peter Walker saw tho outrage.

Richard McCullagh was again brought up on a charge ot stealing a kauri plank, value ss, the property of Edward Good. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Edward Good, cabinet-maker, of Vincent street, saw prisoner on the Ist inst. leaving his premises with a plank on his shoulder. It was half-past live iv the morning. Ho followed the prisoner, aud tusked him what he was doing with his plank. Prisoner replied that was lii.-i business. He would not give up the plank, and so he called Detective Jeffrey, who took the plank. To His Worship : I knew the prisoner well. Had reason to know him. Recog nised him by the light of the lamp. Detective Jeffrey deposed to picking up the plank. Re charged prisoner with the offence. Prisoner lives in Albert-street, and follows the occupation of a " lumper." Prisoner said ho w as well-known by many persons for honesty and integrity, and ho had always got his living by honest work. His Worship eaid the evidence of Mr Good was very clear against Mm, but as this appeared to be his mat offence, the Een tonco would be light, namely, seven days' imprisonment. RUN AW 7 A VS. Alfred Curtis aud Charles Heatly were charged -with absconding from the Nsval Training School on the 7th inst. Sergeant Jackson found the boys yester day at ParneJl. Remanded until to-morrow for the ap pearance of Captain Breton. SMALL MATTERS. John Shaw was fined 2s 6d and costs 5s 6d, for having no collar on his dog.

Alfred N eal, was summoned to answer a charge of having no light on his vessel on the morning of the 4th inst. Defendant said he would plead guilty. The lamp unfortunately was broken, undue went on shore for the purpose of getting it repaired. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the prosecu tion, and said that Neal was in charge, and was the responsible person, it was very hard upon these men, but the consequences were to be considerable. His Worship asked if it was not somewhat remarkable that .such craft should only have one light for hoisting. . ~,..., Captain Burgess said that one bright light was sufficient for this class of vessel.

Fined 40s, costs, 30s. William Aubery was charged with a simi lar offence on board tho Argyle. Mr Tyler asked that the case might stand over until to-morrow, as defendant was only served with a summons on Saturday, and had net had time to prepare his defence. Mr Russell could not object, but to-mor row was an inconvenient day as the vessel would start at noon, and there would be a difficulty in getting the captain's evidence. The case was adjourned until to-morrow.

THE RIVAL BASKET-MAKEKS. Heury Rafton, basket maker, was charged with stealing a quantity of osiers, the pro perty of Thomas CAe, basket-maker, of Queen-street, iv June last. Sub-luspector Tardy conducted, and Mr Hesketh appeared in defence. The case tor the prosecution appeared in the Star of the Cth inst. The following witnesses were heard in defence.

Mr Hesketh said that the fullest investi gation had been made in this case, and he was fully prepared to meet it. Henry Rafton deposed that he was the defendant au,l was a basket-maker. He knew the ground claimed by Mr Cole. He negotiated for the same with Mr James

Russell on the 23th Sept. for three years. He found five varieties growing there with their botanical names attached. He copied the names at the tiine_ into his pocket-book. Mr Rafton here described the character of the numerous willows, and of the manner of boiling, stripping, and treating them. The majority were the "Huntingdon" willows. He intended to have commenced cutting the willows according to agreement with Mr Russell in October, but on goiug to theworkfound Mr Cole's men at work there. ,He learnt afterwards that Mr Cole had a m prior right, in consequence of an arrange |! ment with Mr Thomas Russell. An inquiry H was made. He did not cut any, but went Ito Mr James Russell. Saw Mr Cole, who

was rather angry in speaking to him about the willows, and said, "I will not let you live in Auckland." He called upon Mr Cole on arriving in Auckland, and asked him if he could give him employment. Mr Cole replied, "No ; there is only room for one basket-maker iii Auckland, and you had better go South." He was positive that he cut every willow, said by Mr Cole to be his own, with his own hand, on Tuebday last, in Mrs Mattsou's ground by the railway. The willows were only worth 2s ; better ones by far are landed here from Hobart Town for £24 per ton. He pur chased the other willows of Elijah Shaw, of Cabbhge Tree Swamp (receipt put in). W. llogers assisted to cut them in October last.

William Goldie, gardener, of Reinuera, deposed to having large experience in plant 3 as a nurseryman, both in England and Scotland. He was now in the employ of the Domain Board. Be had inspected the willows and the steins in Mrs Mattson's garden. They were the Huntingdon's. His opinion was, based upon experience, that, although the characteristics of certain willows would be the same in all countries, the external colour would be more of less changed by difference of climate. There are more than 200 kinds of willow. Witness referred to some of the best authorities on the willow. He compared those which Mr Cole affirmed he could recognise, and found that they fitted the stems brought from Mrs Mattson's garden. He was positive that that the osiers were cut from Mrs Mattson's garden. His Worship compared one with the stump, aud was perfectly satisfied of the niateh. lie did not wish to go further with the case.

Mr Hcskcth said he bad other evidence, if it was necessary. Mr Pardy said that Mr Goldie was an independent witness, and there was no desire to doubt his statement. David Hay, nurseryman, of Hobsons Bay, also cut some corresponding stumps on Mrs Mattson's ground, and was decidedly of opinion that the osit-rs in Court came from the stumps on Mrs Mattson's ground. The case was than dismissed, and the osiers returned to defendant, with costs.

LUNACY.

Henry Hart was committed to the Lunatic Asylum on the medical testimony of Drs. Goidbbro' and Haines.

ASSAULT AT NEWMARKET. Alexander Whisker was charged with assaulting William Speakman, of New market, on the 3rd July. Mr. Leishley, for the informant ; iir Tyler for defendant. William Speakman deposed to having a conversation about the merits of the members of the new Highway Board with defendant. He disagreed, when defen dant siruck him violently on the face. To Mr Tyler : He was certain he was not drunk. Three pints would not make a man drunk. John and Joseph Johnson, employed at the Kyber Pass Brewery, deposed that it wus a' trivial affair, in fact one mutual, abuse ; hoth were excited. Alexander Whisker gave evidence to the effect that the inforinaui. was very offensive in his manuner. William Stitchbury was called for the defence.

This was the case,

His Worship imposed a five of 20s ; costs £3 18s.

MR B a^S^SS £2i a££lV each

(To the Editor). Sir,—Tho "Herald" having dodinoA to insert the following reply, I would crave your lnclul eenco. Iv the "Herald" of Saturday, tho 29th ult., appeared a letter from Jotm Buchanan, r© the New Golden Puh and Union Beach dispute, having Bpe*iftl reference as to the right of the former company to obtain a lease of me fore shore at Corornandel, hitherto known as a portion or. the Uniou Beach mine; but aa tho statement made by Mr Butkanan^ is entirely ■wrong and contrary to fact, ana as I mlly ondoisio the statements made at the Boach meeting by Captain Daldy, I would ask you to insert a f«w roniaitef frein me, so a,3_ that tho Beach Company may, in the estimation of all right-thinking persons, be placed iv a proper light. lam sorry that I was unable to attend the annual meeting of the Union Beach Com pany, through the inclemency of the weather; bocause had I done so, I should then have given the true history of the Now Golden Pah Co, ■without troubling you n ow. I consider that a more flagrant act of iuiutstice has seldom been perpetrated in a civilized country. In the first place, tho promoter of the New Golden Pah Co. has been a promoter aud shareholder In all tho companies from whence tho Union Beach claim Is derived, and as such promoter and shareholder, at different times 3old his interests and shares for largo sums of money. He also know of and personally worked on these auriferous leaders during the time ho was a shareholder in these companies, whose Krouna. was afterwards acquired by the Union Beach Company, and which leaders he pi-»Luads were newly discovered by him. Farther, this promoter well knevy that the Union Beach Company had not a written title from tho Government to the foreshore, although it had purchased all the native interest therein, and the then Government had promised, and the then Provincial Secretary aud now Native Minister, backed such promise, as the following extract from a minute in the Union Beach Company's minuteS book will: show;! the Pro vincial Hecretaryiinfomied the upplieant ' I hat the Provincial Government had made applica tion to tho General Government for the whole of the foreshore at Ooromandel, and as soon as they obtained it. that portion occupied by the Union Beach Company would be conserved to tho Company in the usual way. At present thero were records in the Superintendents office, which insured the title to the Company — that the Union Beach Company should hold against all comers. The promoter knew of tho existence of the rich leader, and in order to get some colour of title, applied for a license ol two men's ground bounded by the foreshore, and by this means induces several respectable citizens of Auckland, who knew nothing of the mat! er, to join him in his plans for ousting the Union Beach Company from its very valuable portion of their mine. These gentlemen find themselves in a trap before they are aware of it, aud I am euro, are not satisfied with their position. Jhe promoter further knew that tfie Union Beach Company had paid to the native owner- iargo sums of money for the foreshore, and also had allotted paid-up scrip to them for it, and aa before stated he knew of the promises of tho then governing bodies to give the Union Boach Company the best title that could be given. I imagine both the promoter and his colleagues, or at least some of them, felt rather doubtful as to their right to obtain a title to the foreshore, for in the "Herald" of May 4th. 1878, I notice that; Messrs Tole. 23wa.rp.un, and Macfarlane, waited on the Native Minister, asking him for his decision re Golden Pah lease. Now, as I believe none of the gentlemen named are share holders, it seems strange to me that they should have interested themselves so much in tho matter, and I cannot find out why they were called on to interfere in the matter. Surely they should have inquired int > the merits of tho case, for I am sure that had either Mr Swanson or Mr Macfarlane known the whole facts of the case, they are far too honorable to nse their influence to perpetrate an iniustice. I cannot pass over the conduct of ihe Native Minister in silence knowing as he did the promise he made when Proviucial Secretary, and after hearing the ease and granting the lease to the New Golden Pah, not because the discovery was a new one, for this was not substantiated, but be oauso the Union Beach had not worked tho ground for more than three years without even giving the latter^ company ». chance of proving to tho contrary tfs not even-handed justice. The fact ip, tho Union Beach Company is, at the present time, putting in a drive for working these very leaders from the bottom of the lowest level. I also think that were the mutter brought beforu the House of Assembly that body would be unanimous in their opinion that the Union Beach Company was both legally and morally entitled to the ground in dispute, and that the, Government was bound to grant a lease iv favour of that company, who has occupied and worked legiti mately, and fairly, and continuously the mine since 1872.—1 am, etc, F.

COROMANDEL, this day. Harbour View. —The manager reports 12ft. of stoping on No. 3 block for the week. The leader is now about 3ft. wide, but nearly all mullock. What stone is left still shows a few specks of gold. Two pounds of specimens are to hand. McNeil's leader has been opened out. It is about two inches wide, and shews a few colours of gold. GRAHAMSTOWN, this cay. THE LAND COUUT IN A DILEMMA. The "Advertiser" says Mr Preece, the Government Lands Purchase Commissioner, will have some trouble in concluding the purchase of land now going through the Court on which Mr Mackay advanced money inconsequence of opposition from pri vate Speculations. Some of the claimants to laud have not received anything for their interest, and say they will sell to the highest bidder, so that private speculators are likely to come off best. In this dilemma the " 'Tiser " says : " Tho only three courses opon are either to cut off the lands over which the liens are held by definite titles ; and (2) to advance in price equal textile private offers for the interests of those who have not parted with any ; (3) by hanging up the lands for _an indefinite period by efusing to issue titles.

WELLINGTON, this day. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER. William O'Connor found guilty of at tempting to poison Wm. Light was brought up for sentence this morning. Prisoner made a long statement lasting about an hour and-a-half with the view of showing that he could not be guilty, and called several witnesses to testify to his good character, including Superintendent Shear man. Prisoner several times called Heaven to witness that he was innocent of the crime he was found guilty of. The chief Justice, after a few brief remarks sentenced O'Connor to ten years penal servitude.

TIMARTT, this day,

DEATH OF A STALLION. The valuable thoroughbred stallion " Detractor " died yesterday of inllamation in tho stomach. The "Temueka" leader will be resusci tated by Alexander Wilson, tho purchaser, and it re-appears on Saturday next. The remains of a large cuttle fieh, picked up in Caroline Bay, has one arm four feet long. . , . Two men who were engaged m sinking near Ormsloy'fl new mill having got (50 feet deep suddenly struck water, which spouted up 30 feet. One man was rescued quickly, but the other, owing to delay, was very nearly drowned. He was much exhausted when he reached the top.

DUNEDIN, this day.

CLASSIFICATION OF TEACHERS. The proposed classification of school teachers is likely to cause much dissatisfac tion. The Duiiedin branch Educational Institute has decided to request the In spector-General to forward to the institute a statement of the principles of classification of teachers in order that the institute may discuss them before the classification is made.

WELLINGTON, this day. PATARANGI POLLING PLACE, A supplement to the "New Zealand Gazette," issued to-day, announces that the shoolhouee at Paterangi is appointed an additional polling place for the electoral district of Waipa. Mr. Burns' lesignation for Roslyn is gazetted.

LYTELTON, this day. KAIPARA AND AUCKLAND SHIP PING. Arrived yesterday : The Maud Graham from Kaipara. Sailed : Transit and Marion for Auckland yesterday. CHIUSTCHUECH, this day. A DISAPPOINTED BURGLAR. Last night some one got into the vestry of St. John's Church, broke open a cupboard aud small cabinet in the hope of finding the communion plate, or money, but to no purpose, as these are always kept in the Parsonage.

ANOTHER STEAMER FOR NAPIER.

Mr Light, of Napier, who purchased the Mauaia, Mohaka, aud Result, all Auck land-built vessels, has given Mr William Holmes of the North Shore, another order for a steamer. The new vessel is to be 75 ft. long by 14 ft. beam, diagonal timbers. Mr Light, after long experience with bars, has found that the diagonal build is infinitely the best for a coastal trade. Vessels so constructed are lighter than the ordinary build, and spring when stranded. Mr Light deserves well of Auck land, having brought all her building work here, aud we hope the new venture will prove as good a speculation as he antici pates. Being an engineer by profession, he attends personally to the machinery of his steamers, and with such good results that the vessels under his care are noted for always being{,in the very best trim.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"THE STRANGER."

" The Stranger" was produced at the Theatre on Saturday evening to only a moderate house. It is a gloomy play, and scarcely sufficiently spiced with sensa tionalism for a Saturday night audience. Miss Coombs played Mrs Haller with ease, grace, and feeling, which seems to mark all her personations. She was received warmly, and heartily applauded from time to time during the performance. Mr. Steelo undertook the arduous role of the " Stranger" and played it well everything considered, though the part scarcely suits him. Mr Burford was a good Baron Stein ford, and Mr. Emmett forced the small part of Peter into prominence by some amusing antics. Mrs Walter Hill made an excellent exponent of the part of Countess Wintersen, and Miss Lily May was a pert and pretty Charlotte. Mr Musgrave as Solomon, Mr Tyrrell as Count Wintersen, and Mr O'Brien as Francis, made up a strong caste. TO-NIGHT A translation of the great French play Camille, will be produced with Miss Coombs in the title role. It is highly spoken of, and ought to prove a success.

Gas is superior to every other material as a light-giving agent, not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society it is in high favour; taking rank with the necessaries, as well as the elegancies of life. It merits whatever can be said on its behalf. Those who have enjoyed its advantages are always the "most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro* claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.]
