This money must SlvegiTen employment to a large, amount £f labour and have been otherwise pro fitably employed in governing the country, onr correspondent may rely upon it iC t competition will regulate the price A? flrink iust as it does every other commodity. Thp Question of the amount of labour employed is no test at all of the evil of drink to a country. Thore is no doub. f, for example, that m the cul tivation of barley and the manufacture .and nip of liquor much more is returned propor tionately to the British artizun from alcoholic Hnnors than from the expenditure on tea nnrl tobacco. Yet the enormous and habitual rnnsamption of the commodities last-named i 3 mit usually looked upon as a very serious evil. Tast year the amount of money expended upon intoxicating liquors in the United Kingdom was 000 000. 'i'he United Kingdom has spent over £900,000,0:}0 in drink during the last seven vpbxs This expenditure exceeds the total of thp national debt. If our correspondent con tented himself with shewing how much more nrofitablv the money might have been spent m the home comforts of the industrial rlosses who are such large consumers of drink, we should most heartily join issue with him. _ED.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before J. Willcox and J. Newman, Esqs., Justices.)

LARCENY.

John McDougall, a respectable man who has long borne a high character, was charged with stealing a quantity of linen, value £1, the property of Jno. Goodman. Mr Tyler, who appeared for the defendant said the bundle had been picked up, and not stolen. He would prove that there was no felony if the Bench would grant a remand till Monday. The case was consequently remanded to Monday, and McDougall was admitted to bail, himself in £20, and two sureties of £10 each. AN OLD GRUDGE. Jno. Eoreman, a young sailor, was charged with assaulting Henry Gamer, cook on board the Chasca. The prosecutor de clined to appear, and as Mr Pardy said he had no wish to press the case, Foreman was dismissed with a caution.

" alex."

Alex Whisker was charged with using provoking and offensive language to Alicia Longauon, and putting her in fear of her life." Mr Tyler appeared for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty.. ■ Alicia Longanon said that the defendant rented a blacksmith's shop from her. He would not pay her the rent, and used fear ful language when she went for it, threaten ing to roast her boy, &c. She was in bodily fear of her life. Defendant said to her "you I'll have your life." In answer to Mr Tyler, Mrs Longanon ad mitted that there was a dispute between them about the premises, and also about the place where defendant got his beer. Rebecca Kobiuson said that she heard Whisker call Mrs Longanon dreadful names. Mr Tyler addressed the Court for the defendant, pointing out that the action was brought out of pure ill-feeling. Alexander Whisker said Mrs Longanou came and called him abusive names. There was a dispute between them about the premises, out of which the whole matter arose. She was never in any fear of him. He never said he would roast the boy. Edward Pierce, in the employ of Whisker, deposed that Mrs Longanon used most offen sivelanguage to Whisker on Saturday night, calling him a scoundrel, drunkard, and many other names. Whisker did not use the language imputed to him in the indict ment.

In answer to Mrs Longanon, Pierce said that he never abused her, neither did Whisker.

The case was dismissed.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.'

The Salsbury Troubadours played " Patch work" and a comedietta called ihe "Rights of Women," to a moderately full house hist night. 41 The Rights of Women" is a very frail little piece, which depends entirely on the performers. The plot is as follows :—An elderly Scotch baronet, a confirmed woman hater, is reduced to subjection through the wiles of the landlady of the hotel in which he is stopping. When she has at last brought kirn to her feet she laugns at him, but finally induces him to promise that he will be courteous and polite to women in future. Miss McHenry played the fascinating hostess admirably, and Mr Gourlay, who put on a life like Scotch accent, made a quaint Sir Andrew. Mr Webster, as an Irish footman, provoked much laughter. "Patchwork" went as merrily as usual, and all the performers were enthu siastically applauded. Miss McHenry has greatly improved " Pretty as a Picture." All who like a good hearty laugh should see the Troubadours.

LEWIS BROS.

(To tho; Editor). fjß>~~ Will you allow me to supplement «» remarks which I made at yesterday's meeting. Had I known that the creditors were to be treated to a lecture by Mr Stevenson on banking and the dutie3 of bankers, I should have gone better pre pared.

Mr Stevenson's remarks were entirely Misleading. Had the Bank adopted the selfish aud suicidal policy suggested by Mr Stevenson, of Btopping the firm last year, the result would have been a large *OS3 to all concerned. I leave your readers «> judge the effect on trade in Auckland aa(L Lewis Bros, stopped before or im mediately after the failure of Barnett and H. S. Meyers and Co., Levy and wldwater, and 'others. What the Bank j»a do -was to cancel their London credit (it f^d been previously reduced one-half), and w allow Mr Gabriel Lewis to go home and consult th e i r English creditors. At this ™j»e the firm professed to be not only ihA* but to nave a considerable surplus. J-aadno means of checking this statement, *s 1 railed to obtain from them any state- £ cnt of affairs. Immediately I received fom London the balance-sheet submitted "*re,.l advised our London Office not to themselves on such- a statement. I "eueved the firm to be insolveut. The "sure? shewing the assets of the firm were

prepared hurriedly prior to Mr Gabriel Lewis leaving, and Mr Morris Lewis on his arrival very soon found that it was impossible to carry out their arrangements made at home. His efforts were then directed in realising the assets to the best advantage; and possessing as he did the entire confidence of the English creditors, satisfactory arrangements could have been made for the payment of a substantial dividend but for the action of local creditors. Ido not know on what principle Mr Stevenson values the assot3 of the firm, but if lie values all the securities as he does those of the Bank, I am in hopes the estate may shew a more favourable outturn than supposed. All our securities are valued at English cost, charges paid, and the shipments still afloat are only drawn against to the extent of 75 per cent, so that there ought to be a surplus on these of 50 per cent. . . . , T One word in conclusion. I tlimK an Stevenson's remarks about Lewis Brothers com« with a very bad grace from him Let him look at home. It is all very well to put the Lewis's in the pillory, but they have done just as their neighbours have done—overtraded and overimportecl. INOt that I justify them in doing so._ \\ c have seen the fruits of this policy in Auckland in the bolstering up of several retail nouses, who have afterwards failed, inflicting serious loss on the wholesale farms. Yours, &c, David Hean.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB.

(To the Editor of the Star.)

Sir,—Now that there has been so much said and written in connection with the vbove Club and Good Templars (I), will you kindly allow me space to quote a lew remarks and a short paesage or bo from an essay I wrote (when con nected with that Order) on their weak points and how to remedy them. By doing so I think you will see that exactly 12 months since, I agitated the question of a Club to draw naen away from public houses, &c. But to the point, if you think on perusal that my remarks are or sufficient interest, then, will you kindly publish them. In that essay Igoon to say, Ihe great weak points are : not r.nough attraction, too much preaching night aiW night, not enough sociality, and laat, but not least, trying to make the Lodges a religious school of education. Now, as to the first weak point—not enough attraction—we all know that after a man has been at his work all day he turns to Ins home with a fond heart, for there he will find a source of great pleasure ; and yet we find with all home attractions there is not enough change. He has become familiar with everything there, and it becomes monotonous to him; therefore ho must go elsewhere for change. And I say if he cannot find ii in his home, what is there in the lodge rooms to attract him there? Why, only the same dry routine over.and over again; and, therefore, he becomes disgusted with it, so he must needs go elsewhere for relaxation and recreation. Depend upon it. sir, there is many a good man goes to a public-house, not because he is fond of drink, but because he finds something there out of the old routine. I would like to know what attraction there is in a Good Templar lodsie-room to draw young men off the streets, &c. We know that the young men of the working cluss ot: tlie present day, or most of them, have not got the education they might have, or if they had they wowld not be so fond of knocking about as they do at night ; but still they must go somewhere, and therefore in most cases you find them going to a public-houso, not because they arc fond of drink, but because they there find company and amusement, such as it is. I know this to be a fact personally, and I cannot, for the life of me, see how it is to be altered, with the very spare amount of counter-attractions there are in the lvdge-rooin. Therefore the question comes, how must we remedy this? Why, in this manner: We must have a hall or halls fitted up in the best possible manner we can; we niu3t have a bill of fare ; and we must provide in every possible manner in opposition to the publican. It is quite in accordance with human nature tbatiiso long as a man can see a place where he thinks there is enjoyment, he will sooner go there than to a plate whereit is the same dry old thing over and again. Let us have rooms where a man can sit and enjoy his pipe, read the paper or a book, have a game of cards, dominoes, billiards, &c, where all can meet in conviviality, but not forgetting our great principles. Let us try our skill in all respects against those of the brewer or publican, and I hesitate not in saying we should have 99 per cent, of the people for us. These things could be easily done, and at no great individual expense, i£ taken in hand and shown up to the members in its true and proper light. I know it must take time to work, but not so long as it is taking now. Now, as to the matter of religion. When I think of the Good Templar ritual and its religious ceremonies. I become disgusted with it, for when I see sometimes the members who are to ofrer prayer, &c, and when 1 know what members go there for, and the mixed nature of religion with the members of the Order, I say it is a great mockery, and will never do the Order any good. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. I might touch on many more evils in the Order, as it is now, and how they can be remedied ; but I know you cannot alfbrd the si-ace, nor have I the time; but if they take the middle line—as the Hon. John Sheehan intimated in hi 3 late speech—then they will open a G.T.s Work ing Men's Club, and they will su-cc ea, in my opinion, more so than they are doing now. So you may see, sir, that the question of a Club for the working man, on teetotal principle?, was agitated by me exactly twelve months ago. So I say the sooner they get a Club-room, or alter their Constitution and let their members join ours, the more good they will do themaalves and society at large. By publishing this you will oblige, yours truly, A. C. Jamiksox, late of the Order.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' COURT.— This Day.

DeLias, claim £17 10s; W. and J. Winstono v. Jas. Wilson, claim £6 10s 2d. JUDGMENT DJi3TOK SUMMONSES. H. L. Posseneskie v. Clias. Russell. Claim, £9 2s 2d. In this case the defendant was without means at present, and totally unable to pay his tailor. _ His Wor ship remarked upon the uselessness of taking out judgment summonses where defendants had no means of meeting claims, •and dismissed the summons. George Bryett v. George Henderson. Claim, £3 14s 6d. This claim was for bal ance of clothes account, and plaintiff was examined by Mr Lusk as to defendant's means. Mr Bryett deposed that Henderson was employed in the office of Mr Rogan, solicitor, of Gisborne, and was in receipt of 50s per week. He had written several times, promising to pay tho money, but had failed - in keeping his . word. Ordered to pay the amount in two monthly instalments, with costs, 10s, or be committed for one month. Thos. Wilsonv. Dam1. Donnghey. Claim, £3 7s 6d, goods. Mr Thome for plaintiff. The defendant, who had been ill, promised^ to pay 2s Gd per week, which plaintiff accepted ; costs, Bs. . Joseph Warren v.jAlfred Saycro. Claim, £1 8s Gd. Mr Thome for plaintiff. This was a claim for groceries, on which defen dant paid 15s, promising to pay tho balance in a fortnight. F. He win and B«ro. v. Ivellan. Claim, £13 7s. Mr Armstrong stated the circumstances of defendant, whose? debts amounted to about £200, and he had agreed with his creditors, per settlement, but had left plaintiff' out in the cold. Frederick He win. deposed that defendant had made offers of settlement, but did not shew any inclination to liquidate the debt. Defendant, moreover, was in the habit of taMnglife easy; he was inthehabitof taking an ainng with his wife and family in Mr Quick's buggy, " and frequently went to the Theatre. These were pleasures which, he could not afford, and he thought defen dant ought first to pay for his tea and sugar. Defendant denied paying for the luxuries ; they were gratuitous. Mr Armstrong went into the box, and produced the agreement between defendant and his creditors. Mr Hewin believed that many of the amounts set down in that document were fictitious ; he instanced especially £40 set down as due to Mr Neumegan. His Worship said that it had not been shewn that defendant had the means of paying at present, and he could make no order.

DEFENDED CASES. ' Messrs lielaud v. John Edwards. Claim, £3 10s 7d. Mr Thorne for plain

tiffs. Mr Hesketli for defendant. Barton Ireland, of the firm of Ireland Bros., deposed that in December lie purchased wool of Mr Edwards; one bale marked JC 325, at 9£d. He paid him £3 10s 7d, but subsequently found that a mistake had been made in respect to the ownership of the wool, and that Mr Chisholm, of Wanganui, was the owner. —Mr Hesketh said that if there had been a mistake, Mr Edwards, when convinced, would be happy to rectify ifc. —Mr Barton said the bale was distinctly marked C., and Mr Edwards, he thought, must have seen it. It was evidently a clerical error in placing the C. bale to the credit of Mr Edwards. —Frederick Stophen son, clerk to Messrs Ireland, stated that he entered particulars of wool as they were called out to him by the carter. There was evidently a discrepancy between the entry in the waste book and. that on the credit note.—Robert Crosbie, the carter, deposed to bringing the wool from the steamer Argyle. Some of the bales were marked C., and others J.E., but as it was in December, 1876, his recollection was not quite clear as to minute particulars.—Mr Hesketh ad dressed the Court, and thought ifc was un necessary to call defendant, as he really had nothing to answer.—Mr Thome said he would take a nonsuit.—Costs £12 0s 6d, including witnesses' expenses from Wan garei. Finlaysonv. Clifford. Claim, £10. Mr Armstrong for plaintiff. This was a claim for £10, alleged to have been promised by defendant on the completion of the sale of the "Mirror of the World." Plaintiff de posed that he found a purchaser in Mr Gra ham, who paid £10 depo.-it. The purchase was not completed through Mr Clifford's own mistake in the negotiations, but that was not his (plaintiff's) fault. Mr Clifford said that the proposed pur chaser was unable to raise the money, £350 ; and told him to keep the deposit for his trouble and loss of time. Had the sale been effected, he would have given plaintiff the £10. A young man in defendant's employ corroborated defendant's statement. Judgment for defendant with costs.

The value ot coke as a luel, and as a means ot economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mix I fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for tlio ordinary purposes of heating, and still moie for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs He smoke oi inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the lire brighter,clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent where 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 which those coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; amaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elsewhere— Advt.l
