SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillie 3),

IN BANCO,

•BRIGHAM V. MORTON AND OTHERS. rrhiqi was a demurrer to defendant's plea. vir Hesketh for plaintiff and Mr Lusk and AL urhifaker for defendants. The T Question was the validity of a deed for nrment of creditors. P vrr Hesketh opened the case at considerable nffth and explained the nature of the claim, hfrh related to a mortgage on Mrs Brissenden's 2«it property at Epsom. Mr Hesketh argued that as Mr Brigham had oiqed £300 for tlie benefit of Mrs Brissenden, £o had by so doing rendered himself liable to ft?L New Zealand Insurance Company for that mount • and as trustee, he naturally expected consideration from Mrs Brissenden equivalent {L the mount of his responsibility. His Honor said Mr Brigham had raised the .mount at Mrs Brissenden's request, out of trust Uronerty; he was merely a protecting trustee, End there was a trust deed; although he was owner in fee, it was only in trust for Mrs said there, would have been no nnressity for such a deed if such was the case, hiit the document shewed clearly that by his oHion plaintiff had incurred the responsibility. His Honor said it would appear that plaintiff had committed a breach of trust. The case was proceeding as wo went to pressl.

A Special Tram from Onehunga. —Marvellous Feat.

Ok the arrival of Mr Macandrew, Minister ofPuhlic Works, at Onehunga on Saturday morning, a special train was in waiting at the wharf, in order that as little delay as possible should occur in bringing that gentleman to town. Wheu Mr Macandrew arrived, however, he expressed a wish to visit Mr O'Rorke prior to coming on to Auckland, and the "special" started without him, having on board Captain Fairchild and a dozen natives, aud uiie or two other Europeans. Tho train left Onehunga wharf at four minutes past one, and in a few minutes was brought to a, stand at the Onehunga station. Here there appeared to be some misunderstanding as to whether the train was to go right through or remain at some intermediate station, to allow one of the ordinary up trains to pass. However, after remaining some 10 or 15 minutes, the driver received instructions to proceed as far as Penrose, and remain there till the Waikato train had passed, and then proceed with all speed to Auckland. Obeying orders, the "special " proceeded to Penrose, and after being kept there a considerable time, the driver was instructed to go on to Ellerslie. On arrival here another delay of fifteen minutes occurred, when the train for the Waikato having passed, the " special" made another start. The passengers were here informed that all their troubles were now at an end, ' and that in a few minutes they would be safely landed in Auckland. Tne train sped on at a good pace, but alas ! another stop page. When nearing the Remuera station the was again -ordered to pull up. After waiting patiently for another thirty minutes, one of the passengers ventured to enquire from tho station-master the cause of the delay, wheu he was informed that the "special" would go on immediately the the train for Onehunga had passed. A few minutes later a messenger on foot arrived from Newmarket with orders for the special to proceed at once, that all was clear ahead. On the arrival of the train at Newmarket, the driver asked the station-master for orders. The station-master shouted out, uGo on at once, you are detaining the Onehunga train at Auckland." The driver, however, insisted on receiving written orders, and just as the station-master had gone in to give the necessary order the guard of the " special " induced the engineer to proceed. Some of the bystanders appeared very uneasy, fear ing the " special" would meet the One hunga train in the tunnel. Just as the train started some of the passengers had made up their minds to leave the train and walk in, as they could see from the dis cussion and contusion of the officials that they stood every chance of collision in the tunnel with the Onehunga train. As the train started one of the officials was heaid to remark : " I hope to God they may get safely through the tunnel." Fortunately, however, notwithstanding all the confusion, the " special" reached the Auckland station in safety at live minutes past three, or exactly two hours from Onehunga—a distance of seven miles. The Onehunga train had been detained for 50 minutes, and when the passengers saw that the "special" ■ did not contain Mr Macandrew they were not very polite in their remarks. Messrs Conyers and Lawson, and several other > gentlemen were at the station on arrival of the "special," waitng to meet Mr Mac tndrew, who, fortunately for his own uonifort, had been ruralising in Onehunga uring the interval.

POLICE COURT.—This day.

(Before R. C. Barstovv, Esq., R.M.) INEBRIATES. Four persons were dealt with in the usual manner for being drunk. A ROW. Joseph AVelling was charged with be having in a public place, to wit, Quecn street, in a manner calculated to create a breach of the peace. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Constable Madden said that the prisoner was fighting in the street with another man on Saturday night. He arrested him, but the other man escaped. In answer to the prisoner, witness said he saw him fighting with Dogherty. Did not remember prisoner saying to him, "Why don't you arrest Dogherty." The prisoner said the coustabie's state ment was quite false. He never struck Dogherty, and Dogherty only struck him once. In answer to the Bench, the constable said both the men were the worse for liquor. The Prisoner said he had only had one pint of beer. . At the request of Sergeant-Maj or Mason the case was adjourned till to-morrow. IMPROPER LANGUAGE. Daniel Driscoll was charged with using obscene language, within the hearing of persons passing in a public place, to wit, Drake-street. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Sergeant-Major Mason said the offensive language was used to his wife. They were always quarrelling. John Grigg, a resident of Drake-street, said it was not unusual for the prisoner to use such language to his wife. It could be heard in a public place. Mr Andrew said the language he beard was used by a female, who was beating tbe man most unmercifully. He appeared to be taking it as quietly as possible under the circumstances. Mr Richards deposed to hearing the offen sive language used. The prisoner said the language was used in the house and not in the yard. «_ Mr Richard said there were constant rows in the place. , Fined 20s and costs or one month s bard labour. HIS WIFE. Eliza Driscoll, wife of the last prisoner, was charged with a similar offence. _ Mrs Driscoll pleaded guilty to using cer tain improper words. Mr Andrew deposed to having heard cer tain obscene expressions used. The rows in that neighbourhood were recurring everlast ingly. . . Mr Richards gave corroborative evidence. Finee 40s and coLts.

A SIMILAR CASE.

Thomas Homan was charged with using obscene language in Victoria-street, Devon port. • ~ The prisoner pleaded not guilty, but said he had had a little beer that day which might account for it. Mr Gerrard stated that the prisoner was delivering doctor's advertisment in Devon port. He heard him make use of grossly indecent language to a lady. It could be distinctly heard in the road. Mr Wynyard gave corroborative evidence. Prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and hoped the case would never happen again. If he had said any-

I thing it was the beer, though he had only 'ft aken three glasses. His Worship said it must have been bad beer for it made him use bad language. Fined 40s and costs. BREACH OF THE BY-LAWS. Edward Wood was summoned for leaving his cart unattended. Discharged with a caution. Michael McCormick appeared to answer for a similar offence. Constable McLellan proved the case. The defendant said his horse was blind, and wouldn't have moved under any circumstances. THE PANMUBE ABATTOIR CASE. Mr J. B. Russell said that Mr Hesketh and his brother were engaged elsewhere, but he didn't think the case ought to be adjourned any further, and therefore that he must object to the costs being allowed to the defence, as it was a prosecution by a corporate body in execution of its duty. Mr Barstow said that under ordinary circumstances he would not allow costs against a corporate body, but this was an exceptional case, and therefore he would order costs for the defendant. Mr Russell said he had agreed with Mr Hesketh that if his Worship came to this decision the costs should amount to £4 12s, including counsel's fee. This was all the business.

DISTRICT COUUT.—This Day.

(Before F. D. Fenton, Esq., District Judge.) Wm. Home v. J. B. Cajieron.—Claim, £36 12s.—Mr A. Whitaker for plaintiff aud Mr S. Ilesketh for defendant.—This claim was for " Red Queens," but defendant denied that he was indebted to Wm. Home as he had done business with Robert Home. —Mr Whitaker said that Wm. Home held the promissory note, and was, therefore, the plaintiff. The account had been standing over for more than two years, and a. judgment obtained in this Court had been disregarded. — Defendant's counsel offered £4 per month in settlement, which was accepted, or, in default, of the usual term of imprisonment. J. Bryeksv. Ingham Stevens.—Claim, £46 9s 4d.—This wa3 an old debt, but on tho application of Mr Dufaur it was ad journed for three months, in view of a settlement in the meantime.

Robt. Baird v. Gibbs Kirkwood.— Claim, £43 IGs lid, goods.—Mr Laishley for plaintiff, stated that the claim was for rent and goods.—PlaintifF proved that the claim was due and still owing; the terms were fair and reasonable. —Judgment for plaintiff, costs £4 lis.

Murray and Others v. Sutherland AND Smith.—Claim, £59 9s Gd.— Mr Hes keth appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr Laishley for Mr Tyler for defendants. — This action was brought for alleged breach of agreement in respect of the delivery of scoria. It appeared that a portion of the claim was acknowledged, but not the whole. —His Honor thought the best way of settling tbe difference and saving legal expenses would be to submit the matter to arbitration.— After some argument between counsel, it was determined to follow his Honor's advice, two arbitrators to be appointed by Mr Hesketh and Mr Tyler; the result and award to be returnable next Court day.

Sid well v. Anderson.—Claim £52 lis 9d, goods. —Mr Dufaur for plaintiff, Mr George for defen dant.—This was a matter of account between the parties, who resided at tho Wade.—Mr Dufaur said as the caso would occupy a long time, he had suggested arbitration to hi 3 client, and to which he axsenlfl.— Mr Georgo, after con sulting defendant, said Mr Anderson would not consent to such a coarse, as he was no* indebted. —The witnesses were thon ordered out of Court; about eighteen in number.—Frederick William Sidwell was sworn, and deposed that he was a storekeeper at tho Wade, and the defendant, John Anderson, was a customer. The account which formed the basis of tho present action, commenced on May Bth, 1875, and continued until June 18th, 1877. Various sums had been paid on account during that period, leaving tho balance *-:52 lis 9d. The various items were then investigated, and included milk, eggs, men's boots, babys'shoes, beef, bacon, calico, ribbons, lollies, marbles, tea and sugar, pocket-knife, and almost every conceivable article of domestic use.—Mr Dufaur said the plaintiff's manner of book-keeping was very original.—Mr Georgo characterised it as tho " rural method of book keeping by single entry."—Plaintiff pro ceeded to explain the entries.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

A special general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at noon to-day for the purpose of considering the removal of the Auckland Railway Terminus, the ex tension of the railway from Inglcwood to Normanby, and a monthly steam service .be tween London and Auckland. The President (J. C. Firth Esq.) was in tbe chair, and amongst those present we noticed Messrs Morrin, Clayton, Lennox, Jakins, McMillan, Lamb, Cruickshank, P aco ;k, Masefield, and McKenzie. Tbe President opened the proceedings by stating the reasons why the meeting had been called. He then requested the Secre tary to read the resolution passed by the Committee at their last meeting. THE KAIL WAY TERMINUS. The President said that-certain lands had been reserved for the purpose of a terminus at tbe bottom of Queen-street. He would read extracts from the Act of Parliament shewing this. (Extracts read.) ■ Mr Clavton asked whether the Chamber had taken into consideration the obstruction to Breakwater Road. There were already 21 trains a day, and in time there would be double, in which case the delay at the gates would come to about 3 hours a day. The President said the calculation would be much more alarming if it were proved that the traffic would be concentrated on the Railway wharf. In his opinion it would be changed to the city side. Mr Lamb said the railway authorities would see the propriety of making the goods station on the town side. Mr Lennox opposed the idea of the station at the bottom of the wharf. It was a thoroughly bad place for it. He moved as an amendment, " That while admitting the necessity of a goods station at the Queen-street wharf for the conveni ence of your shipping, this Chamber is of opinion that this position is inconvenient, and utterly unsuited to the requirements of the passenger traffic of Auckland, and would urge upon this Government the uecessity of erecting a passenger station in a more central part of the city." He thought the Chamber ought to remember that property-holders in Auckland, under standing that the city would be the seat of Government, had paid as much per foot as persons in AVellington had paid per acre. It was not the removal of the Go vernment he complained of, but tbe time at which it was done. It would only be a graceful act of conpensation on the part of the Government to give them a central station. He believed it would pay, but even if it would not they still ought to do

it. Mr McMillan had great pleasure in seconding Mr Lennox's motion, and quite agreed with the remarks he had made. In his opinion it would be a great mistake to let the present opportunity pass without ask ing for a central station. Some people said, " Let us get the Queen-street terminus first, aud then we will ask for a central one," but they ought to remember that the city was growing, and that in time property might become so valuable as to make it impossible to have a central station because of the ex pense. It had happened so in Sydney. Everyone who had been there_ knew how inconveniently the station was situated, but, unfortunately, it could not be helped now. Mr Peacock thought the Chamber ought to take care that they did not lose what they had got in trying to secure something else. It would in his opinion be unwise to cause delay. Personally he should be glad to see a central station, but he did not i think they ought to relinquish the Queen,, street terminus, or they might find them selves in the position of the dog in the fable who gave up a substantial bone or the shadow of one in the water. He seconded the resolution of the committee. . , Mr Lamb opined that the bottom ot Queen-street was the right place to have a station now, and that it always would be. In a few years- there might be tramways which would go everywhere, and no doubt be made to connect conveniently with the railway station. He felt sure that the

Government would make a terminus at the bottom of Queen-street, if the Harbour Board offered no obstructions. Facilities to the shipping were most important, and the new station would give this. He hoped it would be done at once.

The President congratulated the Chamber on the good temper with which they were discussing the matter. He was a member of the Harbour Boaid, and therefore should be happy to carry any expression of opinion from the Chamber to them. With refer ence to the amendment, he thought it would perhaps be better if Mr Lennox withdraw it, and put it as a separate motion coming after the other. Mr Lennox assented to this, and the President put the Committee's resolution, which was carried unanimously. He then put Mr Lennox's motion, which was amended as follows, viz. :—" That in the opinion of this Chamber it is desirable to have a station in tbe centre of the city." This also was carried.

Mr Lamb moved, and Mr Clayton seconded, " That the President of the Chamber be requested to convey the wishes of this meeting to the Harbour Board, and to request them to use their influence to have the station at the bottom of Queen-street.completed."

EXTENSION.

The President read the motion of the committee relative to the extension of the railway from Inglewood to Normanby. Mr. Lennox said the Government ought to do it, as it would strengthen their hands in the final settlement of the native diffi culty. Mr. McMillan suggested that the rail way ought also to be extended to Mokau. Mr. Morrin said that perhaps Mr. McMillan was not aware that the Govern ment intended branching the railway from Taranaki to the Waikato.

Mr Firth said that Mr McMillan's sug gestion could be embodied in the motion. This was done, after which it was put to the meeting and passed.

STEAM COMMUNICATION,

The President proposed the motion of the Committee relative to direct steam commu nication between London aud New Zealand. Mr McMillan seconded it.

Mr Lamb thought it a mistake to propose that the steamers should call at all four ports. In his opinion no company would take up the contract if they were obliged to do this, as the danger of going out and in wonld be very great. Mr McMillan could not agree with Mr Lamb. The ports were good, and after all it was for the companies tendering to say whether they objected to more than one port of arrival. He thought it foolish to make difficulties.

« Mrj. Lamb did not wish to'jmake difficul ties, but he thought the question of so many ports was one which would not be easily got over. Could not the goods be tran shipped into smaller steamers from the port of arrival chosen ?

Mr McMillan said the expenses of tran shipment were tremendous. People would not use the steamers if the expenses were made unreasonable.

The President saw force in the argu ments of both gentlemen. Just at present, however, it was necessary to strengthen Mr Macaudrew's hands by getting the approval of the other cities mentioned in the resolution. If at some future time companies tendering objected to more than one port of arrival, and if Auckland was not the port chosen, he thought they could give way quietly. The resolution was then put to the meet ing and carried. Mr Morrin proposed that a deputation consisting of the Chairman, and Messrs Morrin, Cruickshank, McMillan, and Nathan, wait on Mr Macandrew, and acquaint him with the resolution passed by this meeting. Carried.

DEPUTATIONS TO THE HON. J. MACANDREW, MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS.

A DEPUTATION from the Chamber of Com merce waited on the Minister of Public Works this afternoon, at the same time as a deputation from the Committee appointed at the public meeting were waiting. It was agretd that the two deputations should wait on the Hon. J. Macandrew together.

After hearing the views of Dr Pitrchas, Messrs T. Morrin, Cosgrave, Larkius, and Newman on the subject of the wharf extension and tbe centrau passenger station. Mr Macandrew replied that he approved of tho wharf cxtensfon being done imme diately, but feared the central station involved too great an expendituee to be taken in hand at the present time. He would, honevcr, cause complete surveys to be made, aud reports given as to the actual cost of the carrying out the scheme of a central passenger station. The question of selling tickets in town was being settled as desired by tbe deputa tion.

NORTH WAIROA TELEGRAPH LINE.

MR J. M. Dargaville, accompanied by Mr Langbridge, of the "Northern Advocate," interviewed the Hon. the Minister of Public Works this afternoon on the subject of the extension of the telegraph line through Kaipara to Northern Wairoa. Mi Darga ville explained that £5,000 was already voted for the construction of this line upon the understanding that he (Mr Dargaville) should allow the timber (totara) required for telegraph posts to be taken from his forests free of charge. He stated that he had long been in communication with tho Hon. Mr Fisher on the subject, and had pointed out to that gentleman that if it was the intention of tne Government to proceed with the work it would be advisable to pro cure the timber without loss of time as winter was the proper time to fell totara, He (Mr Dargaville) had received a reply from Mr Fisher to the effect, that as the cost of the line would probably slightly exceed the amount voted the matter must remain in abeyance for the present. Mr Dargaville then fully ex plained the position of affairs to Mr Macan drew, and urged the immediate commence ment of the work. Mr Macandrew said he would telegraph to Mr Fisher on the subject forthwith, and recommend that tenders be invited without delay. Mr Dargaville also directed the attention of the Minister of Public Works to the wretched accommodation, or rather, want of accommodation, provided for ladies travelling on the Kaipara' railway line at the Heicnsville and Riverhead stations. Mr Macandrew said he would see the Rail way Commissioners on this subject, and it would no doubt be attended to.

THEATRE ROYAL.

RE-OPENING TO-NIGHT,

Tbe Theatre will re-open to-night with the company which appeared so successfully last season. The piece to be produced is Sterling Coyne's well-known drama, the "Woman in Red." Mrs Walter Hill undertakes the part of Rudiga, and Mr Steele, Victor Sanson. The other char acters will be supported by Messrs Burford, Musgrave, Em met t, &c. The drama will be followed by a popular farce.

THE MARLIN BENEFIT.

A benefit entertainment in aid of the widow Marlin and her children, was given at the theatre on Saturday evening, and proved a success Tho house was extremely well filled, considering tho 1! inclement weather, and the entertainers, as a lot, wero up to their work, 'iho first part opened with a song by Mr W. Nairn, who was encored, after which little Miss Roberts sang a ditty in praise of her brindled cow. Mr Eugene Lamont then mado his ap pearance, and diverted tho audience with some remarkable {tumblings and contortions. The advent of Professor Scott was tho signal for a roar of delight, together with some interesting personalities, relative to "pheasants" and the "King of Pain." The Professor was not, how ever, at all discomposed, and proceeded with great deliberation to narrate an anecdote relative to the joys of matrimony, after which he sang with spirit "The dear little Shamrock," "All Fours," " Kulo Britannia," and " Marching thro' Georgia," retiring in tho midst of a perfect ovation. Mr Diver, of the Scottish Company, danced the Highland riling, and Mr Thompson pang, "In Happy Moments " Messrs Mettam, Doran, Lamont Brothers, and the Roberts', appeared with black faces in a nigger chorus, which delighted the audience immensely, and then Mr B. Harris gavo " Dolly Brown," in the manner of a "star comique." The first part was brought to an end with a piece of " burnt cork" buffoonery,entitled tho "Two Othellos." In the second part the Gendarmes duett, by Lamont Brothers, and the double song and dance, by Mettam Brothers, wero greatly applauded; and young Roberts sang the "Bologna Sausage Boy" fairly well. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" hardly suited Mr Smith. Tho entertainment wound up with an absurd farce entitled the " Mysterious Monkey.'

It will be remembered that the Hon. H. R. Russell, recently obtained judgment for £3,000 against a native woman named Arihi Te Nairn, and that when the bailiffs went to seize her goods they were unable to_ lay hand on anything more than Alice's blanket. What could they do under such cir cumstances but endorse "nulla bona" onte writ of execution, and return sadder but wiser men. Since then Alice has had the judgment set aside by the Supreme Court of Wellington. Charles Harley, storekeeper, of Katikati, formerly builder, of Auckland, brought an action for assault against Christopher Faulkner, of the same place, in which he alleged that while engaged with bis boy collecting drift-wood Faulkner ran his boat against the logs; he jumped out of the boat and caught hold of the log. He heaved it on to tbe side of the boat. I asked him what he meant by interfering with me in such a manner ; with that he threw the log right on to me and damaged my leg. I stooped down to unfasten the tracing which was fastened to the log. Christopher Faulkner ran and struck me on the side of the head with his clenched list, while I was stoopingdown; the blood spurted out." For the defence it was pleaded that the log belonged to Faulkner and was marked with his initials, and that he merely endeavoured to take possession, that he pushed Harley with both hands ; they were pushing eachother. He did not hit him on the face ; he did not strike Harley with his list, nor put the end of the log on to the boat, as it was rather heavy, and Harley caught hold of him first, {| : The Bench dis missed the case, each paying their own costs.

"Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to tbe use of coal." The value ot coke as a fuel, and as a means of economy oi 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 of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the esult. The price of coke is advertised else where.— [Advt:l .
