It appeared that prisoner Avcut into complainant's house known as the " Sham reck," in Yfellesley-strect, and demanded drink ; but as Bumpkin Avas a1 ready in toxicated, the drink Avas refused.

ASLEEP IN A SHED.|g| -_i£jgi§

James McGuinnessa and Denis O'Connor were charged under the Vagrant Act Avith being found on the night of the Sth inst. in an uninhabited house in Cook-street. Sub-inspector Pardy said this Avas the first time in which the prisoners had been brought io Court, and they Avere drunk at the lime. He would ask for their dis d__SM"*-**6» His Worship gave them a Avord of advice, and discharged them.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,

The following were charged, at the instance of Sergeant Gamble, with breaches of the Weights and Measures Act, chiefly by having in their possession unstamped Aveights and measures, and were subjected to fines, with costs, as under : A. E. Collins, 2s 6d ; R. H. Hughe*, 5s ; George Wallace, ls; Arch. Campbell, ls; Wm. Darnton, Is ; H. Daffy, Is; Jno. Duggan (2), 2s ; George Neale, 2s 6d ; and James Lyle (2), 10s. over-reaching. John Ross pleaded not guilty to having an unstamped measure in his possession. Sub-Inspector Pardy said that Mr Ross had over-reached himself. The Inspector had gathered such a load of weights, measuies, and scales in his possession from the neighboni hood of Freeman's Bay and Wellington-street, that he left a pile of pots behind Mr McDermott's counter. Mr Ross, in the Inspector's temporary absence, over-reached the counter, and reached his

measure. Mr Ross denied this. lhe pot must have- been spirited away ; lie certainly had sueli'a measure. Fined 5s ; costs, Gs 6d.

A NEGLECTED CHILD. John Negus, of Newton, was charged with neglecting to contribute toAvards the support of Ms child, Augustine Negus, in the Howe-street Industrial School. Defendant hoped his Worship would be as lenient as possible ; lie was only getting 18s a week aud his board and lodging, and was already paying 10s a week for other children. His wife Avas away from him. His Worship thought he could not make another order, especially as the existing order was made at the Thames, and the order must be varied by the Magistrate there.

A SAVAGE ASSAULT. Henry A dye, of Nelson-street, was charged with brutally ill-treating Emily Adye, his wife, on the Sth inst., by striking and kicking her. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The Avife by this time had escaped from the Court, voAving that she Avould not appear against her husband. A warrant was issued, and in a short time Mrs Adye returned in charge of a constable. Emily Adye deposed that she Avas the lawful Avife (if the prisoner, and on the Sth inst. he came home in an infuriated state. She was leaning against the rails, when he popped upon her. She Avent in. He knocked her doAVii into the corner of the room by the box, and set to kicking her. She remembered no more. She could not say whether he kicked her with the heal of his boot, she got her two black eyes from his fists ; not sure that he kicked the tip off her nose. He afterwards thrashed her in the bed. To thehusband : I Avas not drunk, you knocked me through the window, you blacked mv eyes, you were drunk, you either kicked or knocked the tip of my Julia Carr, residing in Nelson-street, heard a fearful ioav at A dye's ; Mrs Adye was screaming murder, she Avent, and Adye said it A\*as not her business, the woman's face was covered Avitli blood. She heard prisoner's blows, did not see him kick her. Prisoner said he Avas tenderly lifting her on the bed, as she had got too much, when filifi sere-Linccl» Sergeant Mulville visited the house, and found Mrs Adye lying in bed covered with blood. Her face Avas very much sAA-ollen her eye 3 black, her nose cut, and a pool of blood near the dooi\. The woman Avas m a week, emaciated state. . Prisoner made an appeal to the Court in vindication. He had been at work at One hunga, and on coming home, found no tea ready, and his wife drunk. , Her bruises and cuts wore inflicted mostly by herself. His Worship said he saAV the Avonian on Saturday, when she laid the information, and he Avas satisfied that the blows were inflicted by other hands than her own; he must find him guilty of the charge, and he must take six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.

CHARGE OF ROBBING A WIFE. Michael Francis Bushe Avas charged Avith breaking into a house occupied by his wife, and stealing therefrom money and docu ments to the value of £2 j Os.

Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Emma Freeman, daughter of Mrs Bushe, remembered the evening of the 27th inst. She went to a party, leaving home at a quarter to eight. Her mother called at the place for her about ten o'clock. On reaching home she found thot someone had got in by the Avindow, which had been forced open Avith a knife. On getting inside they found the dressing-table upset, and a Avork box gone, containing a draft on the Bank of New Zealand, her mother's protection order, and some money. Her mother had the key in her pocket. . Susan Emily Bushe, daughter of prisoner, Avas examined as to the nature of an oath Prisoner asked that Mrs Bushe might leave the Court, as she might influence the child in giving evidence. His Worship said that Mrs Bushe Avas not going to give evidence and she had a perfect right to be present . The Court would see that she did not influence the

C The Avitness Avas in the house at the time, and saw her father get in at the windoAV. Her sister Nellie asked her who had been in during their absence. _.___,, :_,„,.__,. The°child was questioned by the P^one Avith the view of shewing that she hac. been tutored as to her evidence. f „ tl . ni . Witness proceeded to say that hei fathei went into the room and took the Avork-box, and Aventout again by the AvindoAV. ToMrPardf: Her mother told her to speak the truth. She was sure it was M Bushe Avho came in. ■ She was in bed with her little sister. , , „, Jane Thomas, wife of John Thoma>, kept a lodging-house in Wakefleld-street. Prisoner was a lodger, and on that evening he came after midnight. He did not go to work the next day, but Avas out drinking. He said he had seen his Avife on the night before, and had made it up. He said he alloAved her £80 per year, and shewed her an order on the Bank for £20. She had never seen such a thing before. He sent for some beer, to Avhich she objected, bhe saw him burn some letters and papers. Detective Grace gave evidence as to a conversation betAveen prisoner and his wife. Joseph Cunningham, Clerk of the Court, proved the granting of a protection order on the 29th Anril, 1877, by Mr Barstow to Mrs Bushe. * The prisoner addressed the Court at some length on the evidence, and endeavoured to ' sheAv that the object of the charge Avas

merely to get him punished, and urged[that a husband could not steal from his wife. His Worship said that to the bulk of the money he certainly had no right- he was VM-vsorrv but he must find a conviction uXffi circumstances ;he had also he d out a threat in a letter when he refened to an " unpleasant reminder. Four months' imprisonment with haul

labour. This AA*as all the business,

THE AUCKLAND CLUB.

Thb Auckland Club was formally opened to-day in Shortland-street, and about sixty gentlemen sat [down to an excellent d jeuner provided in excellent style by the caterer ot the Club, Mr Robson, ai_d with which every one t resent fe t satisfied. The premises have been fitted up expressly tor the accommodation of members, with every care to their comfort and convenience. There is a commodious bar where every necessary of the first quality can be secured enmedera'e term-. The kitchen and con necting apartments have conveniences for keeping 'joints hot, and a continual supply of hot and cold water. The various rooms are suitably furnished, and the lavatories well adapted to the purposes of the Club. The dining-room will seat nearly 200 persons, and the billiard-room, overhead, is of equal dimen sions, containing two splendid tables lhe premises are spacious, aud capable ot supplying the present requirements of the Club, which there is every reason to believe Avill be a permanent success.

CAPTAIN LOGAN'S FINE RE FUNDED.

We understand that the Government have refunded to Captain Logan the amount of the fine aud costs imposed upon him for overloading the s.s. Hero on her voyage from Sydney. This decision Avas arrived at because, under the Australian certificates, Avhich the District Judge refused to take cognizance of, no offence had been com mitted, and as it has since been ascertained that IN eAv Zealand certificates are accepted in all the Australian Courts, it is considered right that this colony should reciprocate as regards Australian ships.

AUCKLAND ARTILLERY VOLUN TEERS.

The inspection of the Artillery Volunteers by the Hon. Col. Whitmore took place lasteveniug in the Drill-shed. The Com pany mustered forty-two in the ranks, 1 sergt.-major, 4 sergeants, 1 bugler and band of 20 musicians, under the command of Captain Burns, Lieut. Payne, and Sub- Lieut," Norrie, making a total of seventy one men. The No. 3. Company, under Captain Morrow and Lieut. Robinson, and the Naval Brigade (AA'ith their band) under Captain Leßoy, Lieut, Chapman, and Sub- Lieut. Parker, were [also present. The Artillery Company were put through m fantrv drill and Armstrong gun drill to the satisfaction of the Inspecting Officer, who expressed himself generally pleased with the appearance aud efficiency of the battery. Col. Whitmore said that it was the inten tion "of the Government to make the Artillery branch of the Volunteer force more efficient, by erecting guns in position so that it would be impossible for an enemy to approach the harbours, and as Auckland Avas favoured by nature for good position to erect batteries, gsteps would be taken to procure 64-pounder guns from the Imperial Government at once, the same guns as iioav on board 11. M. ships Wolverine and Nymphe. If they had such guns as those referred to they would have what they wanted. Those at present in use were not of much use except to frighten Maoris. The Artillery Cos. had shewn themselves fit to be trusted with larger weapons. He (Colonel Whit more) hoped that when they got them they Avould keep them in a state of efficiency. The weapons with Avhich the Government were about to entrust them were really serviceable ones. He saw in the company one man who wore a gold medal, and another avlio served Avith himself when they were not playing at soldiers, and he was sure if they were called into active service they Avoulil give a good account of them selves. (Loud cheers.)

NAVAL VOLUNTEERS,

Colonel Whitmore then inspected the Naval Volunteers, avlio mustered to the number of 44, including ollicers and petty ollicers, ex clusive of the band, 15. After the inspec tion the Colonial Secretary said tbe Com modore had informed him that he AA*as highly pleased Avith the conduct of the Naval Brigade on the occasion of the Governor's A'isit to Kohimarama, when 19 of the corps accompanied His Excellency and Commodore Hoakin.-. The Commodore had expressed great pleasure at tlio efficient manner iv Avhich the men handled tho boat, and the serviceable character of the boat itself. Major Lusk then called the roll, after which the Parade was dis missed. The Artillery and Naval Companys, headed by their bauds, thou inarched down Queen-street and broke up.

Those avlio profess to have grave doubts of "citizen soldiers standing fire," may peruse the following from the " Volunteer Gazette Avith profit:—With reference to the readiness of volunteer trpops, at least those of our blood, to light in earnest, the military correspondent of the "Liverpool Courier'" reminds us that not long ago, Colonel Laurie, D.A.G., in Nova Scotia, speaking at a Volunteer prize distribution in London, mentioned that iv the short campaign of 1861-2 the Cana dian Volunteers of a certain district were ordered to the front, and on being mustered, were found to have several thou sand more than tho required strength in the ranks, and it ay as found on inquiry that men Avho hid resigned, or been .struck off the roll years ago, had hurried up, and rejoined the respective regiments. " Now, view ing," says oiu- Liverpool contemporary, " the conduct of our countrymen at the Cape aud in Canada' is it possible to imagine that Britons can be heroes abroad and poltroons at home?" The pigeon match at Pokeno, will take place pn the 20th inst., and not on the 22nd as erroneously stated hi our last issue.

E\ENING STAR, TUESDAY, ARItIL 9



The value ot coke as a fuel, and as a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, ns it absorbs :tne smoke or inflammable gases given oil by coal during combustion, and tenders the lire qrighUr, clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent Avhere our local coals are used ; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether Coke supplies exactly that Avhich those coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder fdiould buy coals and coke at the same timejaud, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elseAvhere.— A DvT.l Some Very Handsome Mottled Kauri Rimu and Cedar Wardrobes, with Plate Glass Doors, are now on view at the City Hall Arcade.
