REPRESENTATION OF PARNELL.

(To the Editor of the STAR.)

Sir, —With reference to the paragraphs ■which have recently appeared in the local papers on this subject, permit me to say that lam not a candidate for election, and that I should feel gratified if the een tlemen who have been so kindly interesting themselves on my behalf would give their support to Mr F. J. Moss, who intends to stand should the vacancy occur. Mr Moss, 'tis 'true, has been a strong Proviucialist, and I believe a Separationistas well; uot be cause he wanted to ride into the House of Re presentativesforanAuckandconstitiiencyon these hobbies, but because he sincerely believed they were the best for the colony. The battle for them, however, has been fought hard, and lost irretrievably. Their two most prominent champions are now members of a Central Government, and so long as they occupy that position, the unity of the colony will not be in the least en dangered. Mr Moss informs me that he ■will support the present Government, which I think, is more likely to give a fair con sideration to the long-neglected claims and necessities of this part of the colony than any other Government at present likely to be formed, especially as Mr Whitaker has stated that he will on no account take office again. Apart from Provincialism and Separation, which I take it are now buried with the wretched past, I think Mi- Moss's politics will find favour with electors, and that, should he be returned, local matters of interest to the Parnell •constituency will have attention. I feel confident that in any case his experience and ability will make him a valuable acquisition to whatever party he associates himself with in Parliament. —I am, &c, J. M. Dargaville.

[We have very great pleasure in endorsing '.Mr Dargaville's remarks. We believe that were Sir George Grey's wishes consulted with respect to the filling up of the vacancy in the representation of our eastern suburb", no other man in the colony would bo fully and exactly express his views as Mr F. J. Moss. Identified with the popu lar cause from its inception, Mr Moss has, publicly and privately, been one of Sir George Grey's most active and consistent supporters, and has, we believe enjoyed a large share of the Premier's private confidence. He possesses a wide political experience—having held office in the Otago Provincial Executive, with port folio as Provincial Treasurer. Combining these qualifications with considerable power as a public speaker, Mr Moss jis !one of the few men who could effectively fill the political shoes of Mr Reader Wood.— Ed. E. S.I

SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

CIVIL SITTINGS,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies and a special jury.)

The Rangariri Letter Case,

SHIRLEY V. GERRARD.

Mr Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Whitaker and Mr Tyler for defendant.

The following gentlemen formed the special jjury : Messrs. Jas. Holmes, Thos. Morrin, Wm. Anderson, Chas. Canning, John Cosgrave, Richard Cameron, N. R. Alexander, H. F. Anderson, Henry Dacre, John Chambers, J. R. G. Harris, and Edward Croker (foreman). This action, in which damages were laid at £1000, was brought by James Shirley, postmaster and hotel-keeper, of Kangariri to recover from James Gerrard, store keeper, of the same place, for alleged defamation of character, by stating that plaintiff had maliciously and falsely opened" a letter addressed to defendant on the 22nd April, with the view of knowing its contents; and that defendant had spoken certain offensive words in the presence of several persons, viz., "I have the d scoundrel now—this is not the first time that he has opened letters of mine ;" and which words were calculated to injure the plaintiff in his public capacity as district postmaster. Mr Hesketh gopened the case for the prosecution, and commented upon the several issues which were briefly these : — Ist. Did James Shirley hold the position of Postmaster at Rangariri in April last ? 2nd. Did he while in that position falsely open a letter entrusted to his care ? 3rd. Did defendant at Mercer, on the 24th April, speak aDd publish certain words calculated to injure' plaintiff? 4th. Did plaintiff openjja letter addressed to defendant with the object of ascertaining its contents, and— sth. To what amount of damage, if any, is the plaintiff entitled. James Shirley deposed that he was the duly appointed Postmaster of Rangariri. On several occasions Mr Harding requested to be shown the authority for such treat ment, but was told by the defendant that he (defendant) had sufficient authority, and he refused to exhibit any warrant or docu ment authorising the arrest of Jas. Harding. When Mr Harding asked to be released, the defendant denied him that liberty. "The British Consul, too, came on board, and was ■asked by the prosecutor if he had given any authority for his arrest, and received an •answer in the negative. The case termina ting as far as the prosecution was concerned, Mr Solomon applied for a committal, and his Worship told the defen dant that he could go into his defence in the lower Court, or reserve it until the matter be brought before the Supreme Court, and expressed his intention to com mit him for trial at the next Criminal Sittings of the Supreme Court, to be held on the 15th January. The defendant there upon asked for an adjournment until the 27th instant, which was granted, bail being allowed, himself in £100, and two sureties in £50 each. He was also a hotel-keeper. He had been Postmaster of the district for ten years; the emolument was £5 a year. He knew defendant, who was also a storekeeper at the next house. On the 22nd April, Tist after dinner, Mr Gerrand called upon him in company with a man from Panmure. Defendant had'the envelope of a letter in Tiis hand. He was in a very excited state, and said, holding the envelope out, ■"Look at this, you Iv'e got you now. You will hear more of this." Ho then left the house. He handed the letter in about live minutes before he took it out of the receiving box, obliterated the Queen's head, aud gave it to a man named Monaghan. To Air Whitaker: He knew nothing of the contents of the letter; it had been opened ni his house ; but he was not then aware of it ; did not. know that the letter had reference to an allotment in the neighbour

hood, belonging to Monoghan, Avhich was for sale. He had made an offer for it, but could not say that it was on that day. He did not know that Gerrand was negotiating for the land. The letter, he understood, was opened by John Graham,and re-directed by his barman ; he did not know this personally, only from hearsay ; the only person who had to do with the Dost-office besides him self was his niece. To Mr Hesketh : He was told that Mr Graham brought that and other letters to be stamped, and his man Marshall noticed that one of the addresses was informal, and might not reach its destina tion ur.less it were rectified. In mak ing the alteration Mr Graham spoiled the address, and enclosed the letter in a clean envelope,when it was re-addressed by his storeman. He was in Auckland at the time, and knew nothing of it until he re turned. ~ Charles O'Brien, residing at Cambridge, labourer, deposed that he lived in Ranginri in April last, He knew the parties m tins action. He was in Mr Gerrand s store on Sunday, the 22nd April. Several other men were present. Mdnoghan came in from Shirley's Hotel with a letter. On its being opened, he told Gerrand that the writing on the envelope was different to the writing in side. Gerrand then made use of the words.. " I have, etc." He has been in the habit of opening my letters. Gerrand appeared m a passion, and was very rough. To Mr Whitaker : They Avere all on Ger rand's verandah when the Avords Avere uttered; he only kneAV one man, George Henderson, among those present ; Avitness presently Avrote doAvn the Avords, expecting something to come of it. Luke O'Brien gave evidence to the effect that he heard MrGerrand say that Shirley had been opening his letters. Mr Biss gave evidence that_ defendant had communicated a chargea gainst Shirley to him.

William English and John Gall gave corroborative evidence.

The evidence of defendant Avas being taken Avhen Aye AA'ent to press.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq., R.M.) DRUNKARDS.

Wm. Hawkins and John George were fined 5s and costs each for being drunk on Saturday, and Mary O'Connor ss, and Ww. Hounsley 10s, for being drunk on Sunday. A BLACKGUARD. Isaac Bryant was charged with making use of bad and profane language in Waterloo Quadrant yesterday morning. Prisoner, a little old man, pleaded guilty, and was fined £3 and costs, or 14 days' imprisonment. DRUIfK AND DISORDERLY. William O'Meara was charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Victoria-street. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Constable Gleeson proved the charge. Fined 20s and costs, or 48 hours imprisonment with hard labour. PIGEON PLUCKING. Margaret Barstow, Sarah Fairburn, and Maria Price were charged with being con cerned in the robbery of a gold watch and chain, value £16, the property of William Steen. William Steen, a bootmaker, of Welles ley-street, was sworn, and deposed that at about midnight on Saturday or early on Sunday morning, he met the three prisoners in Queen-street. One of them asked witness if he was going to shout. They proceeded up the street some distance together, and then turned towards Wake field-street, when Mrs Barstow asked witness to come to her house in Alexandra street. He then ha.d his watch in his waistcoat pocket, but he took it out and put it in the right-hand trousers pocket This done, he accompanied her home, and the other two prisoners went down a passage at the rear of Cucksey's grocery. Mr Barstow and Mrs Barstow sat down on the sofa, she being on the right side. The first tMng that witness noticed was that the woman had taken a sixpence out of his pocket, which she said was the only thing in it. She then called the girl Fairburn from upstairs, and she came down. Mrs Barstow said " Where has your watch gone ?" and witness replied that his mother had taken it." He resided only a few ' doors from Abercrombie-street. Mrs Barstow said to the girl, "mind, his mother's got the watch," or words to that effect. The girl then invited him to go upstairs. The woman Price was not there at that time. He went upstairs with her, and Mrs Barstow then left the house. He sat down for a few minutes on a box, and then, becoming sensible of his position, got up and went down stairs. On getting to the front door, he felt his trousers pockets, and found the watch and chain gone. He went straight for a constable, and met one on the footpath in front of the Albert Hotel. He ac companied witness to the house, and the only person they 3aw there was the young girl. They searched the house, but did not succeed in finding the watch. The woman Earstow returned at the close of the search, and the constable asked her if she had the Avatch. She replied "No." After some talk, witness saw her take the watch off a bed, beside which she was standing, and the constable who was watching her sharply, said he saw her put it down. The watch and chain >vere worth fully £12. To Mrs Barstow : I did not give you the watch to pay for the shout. I did not tell you that I knew, you for the last twelve years, and would trust you Avith the watch. To Sarah Fairburn : When I came with the constable you were in bed with a little child.

Constable James Gleeson remembered the prosecutor coming to him early on yesterday morning, and complaining that the watch had been stolen. Ou going to the house, they found Mrs Price lying on the sofa in the kitchen, and the girl Fair burn in bed upstairs. Mrs Barstow was not present. On inquiring about the miss ing watch, Fairburn said there was no such thing as a Avatch in the house. They searched, but did not find it. Mrs Price left the house while they were making the search. Barstow arrived Avhen the search was finished. She denied having stolen the watch and chain, and then ran upstairs, witness following as quickly as possible. The evidence of Sergeant Mulville, who assisted in conveying them to the station was taken. This was the case. The evidence were then read over to the prisoners. Mrs Price and Sarah Fairburn reecived discharge, and Mrs Barstow was fully committed to take her trial[at the#iext Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court. LARCENY. John Irwin was charged with stealing a flannel shirt, value 4s the property of William Hackett. Bridget Mackie, a young woman em ployed at the Market Hotel, deposed that on the night in question, after she had re tired to rest, she heard a noise in Mrs Hackett's bedroom, and on getting ■up she saw prisoner with a candle in his hand, looking through Mrs Hackett's drawers. He had the shirt in his hand. She went and informed Mrs Hackett. Wm. Hackett deposed that the prisoner applied tor lodgings at the hotel on the night on which thejlarceny took place. He was shewn to bed at ten o'clock. Witness's bed-room adjoined that occupied by the prisoner. When the alarm was given, witness searched the rooms, but did not go into his own. When he missed the shirt, he gave information to Detective Jeffrey, who searched the room. Witness found the shirt nnder the bed.

j^Detective Jeffrey deposed that he, in company Avith Detective Grace, proceeded to the room, Avhere Hackett found the shirt. Prispnersaid he was going upstairs to bed, when th candle went out. He went into a room, at the top of the stairs, by the di rection of the girl, and found a match, Avith which he lighted the candle. He had

plenty of shirts of his own, and could gi v , Detectivs Jeffrey one if he had applied to ■ him for it. Detective Jeffrey said he knew the pris oner had no shirt. His Worship considered that the charge had not been proved, and dismissed the case. PARENTAL NEGLECT. Henry Barstow Avas charged Avith failing to contribute towards the support of his j ; children in the Industrial School, he being in arrears to the amount of £8 18s 6d. Defendant admitted the charge, and the case Avas remanded to the 25th instant, to admit of the payment of a portion of the money. MattheAV Carrol, on remand, Avas called upon to show cause for failing to contribute toAvards the support of his children in the St. Maiy's Orphanage, he being 19s 6d in arrears. Prisoner did not appear, and at the request of Mr Sub-Inspector Pardy the case was adjourned until Monday next. wimm |larcfny. Jeremiah Reqan Avasbroug'it up on two charges of stealing tAvo mats and a hat, value 16's, the property of Thomas Mann, at the NeAvton fire, and a table and one spoon, the property of Charles Streeter. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Regan Avas acquitted on the former, but convicted on the latter charge, and sentenced to three months'.imprisonment with hard labour. This Avas all the business.

DR SOMERVILLE'S SERVICES.

Dr SOMEKVILLE held two services yester day, both of which were fully attended. Tlie eight o'clock service was termed a " Service of Praise,." and commenced Avith the Doxology and prayer by the Rev. J. Robertson, of Beresford-street, followed by a hymn by the choir and an address by Rev. Allan Webb. Dr Somorville delivered an address, founded on the 16th and 17th chapter of the Book of Numbers, which was made specially attractive by the Doctor's manner of illustrating his subject. The address was briefer than these addresses generally, Dr Somerville not wishing to keep persons away from their regular places of worship. The address was closed with prayer by Rev. W. J. Williams, and the benediction by Rev. Mr Garlick. The afternoon service was equally instructive, and over two thousand persons were present. The text was taken from St. Peter's Epistle, c. 1, ver. 8, and elaborated in a pleasing and acceptable manner. Several hymns were sung by the choir with excellent effect. The collection towards the incidental expenses realised £43 10s. This evening Dr Somerville will deliver his final evangelical address in the Choral Hall.

SHEEP FAIR.

LPER "STAR" CARRIER PIGEON.]

This day, 1.30 p.m. The sheep are all penned, and though falling far short in numbers compared with last year's fair, held by Messrs Hunter and Nolan, the quality is far superior. Lunch is being partaken of in the building, and ere the sale commences I send a few notes of the principal pens. Mr James Bell has sent in from his AVairoa and Piako flocks a really excellent lot of long wools. Nearly 300 came by Saturday's train from Hamilton. From Mr Vava sour's Taranaki flock are some good Lin coln ewes. The Lincoln ewes and lambs from Mr Godwin Smith's are also good. From Waiuku, Mr R. Bent has brought excellent Leicester rams and ewes. Mr Fitzpatdck, and also Mr DeCarteret, of PaPakura Bailey, have good sheep from their flocks. The former breeder has really fine rams and ram lambs. The large number of scrubbers which tilled many of the pens last year are conspicuous by their absence. The whole of the sheep penned are of good character, and the show altogether indicates consider able improvement in the breeding. Sheep-owners find it most unprofitable to keep weedy sheep, and a general clearing out has been resorted to, much to the wel fare of their new stock. In former times, inferior sheep brought a higher proportion able price than good stock, but they are now unmarketable at any figure. The bell is now ringing for the sale to commence. There is but a small attendance of buyers. Mr Jenkins provided an excellent spread for 300, only 60 or 70 sat down. The attendance is very poor indeed, and it is not likely that prices will advance. A reason given for the dull sale is that many small farmers have relinquished sheep-breeding, through their limited area of pastoral land being " sheep sick." It is also stated that fear of introducing scab has a distressing tendency upon the sale. 3 o'clock.

Bidding has commenced very slack. Several lots are past. 36 of FenwelPs long wool ewes sold for 7s. Godwin Smiths Lincoln ewes 15s. Ewe lambs, Us 6d; Mayo's Lincoln ewes, 9s 6d and 10s; ewe lambs, 8s 6d; W Walls' ewes, 10s 3d ; R. Bent's longwool ewes, 13s 6d; Williams' ewes, 4s 6d to 9s.

The foregoing prices fairly represent amounts obtained for a number of lots sold.

CRICKET.

Canterbury v. Australia,

After lunch on Saturday the Australians resumed their innings, but in less than half-an-hour they were all out for the small total of 46 runs, to which C. Banner man was the greatest contributor with 14. No one else made double figures. C Frith (who has recovered from his Auckland accident), W. Frith, and Ashby were the Canterbury bowlers and they acquitted themselves splendidly. W. Friths analysis was magnificent. The Canterbury batting was begun by Godby and Olliver—the latter made a grand innings of 36. Almost all the men scored. Neilson made 26 and Baker 15. When time was called 10 wickets were down for 105. The following are the scores :— AUSTRALIAN. FIRST INNINGS. A. Bannerman, cJ. Kowler, b Ashby .. 14 C. Bannerman. b C.

Buckland held his first sale of horses at Cambridge on Saturday last, Avhen about 50 first-class animals,broughtoverland from Poverty Bay, Avere offered. They brought .excellent prices, the bidding throughout being spirited. We understand that Mr Bucklaud Avill in future hold a monthly sale at Cambridge in consequence of the inducements offered. Many of the horses sold on Saturday were unbroken colts, for Avhich a good demand exists.
