MR ALFEED COX RESIGNS.

BY TELEGEAPH.]

[FROM QUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

HAMILTON

This day. AT Mr Cox's meeting to address his con stituents last night, Mr Vialou, Mayor was chairman. Mr Alfred Cox resigns. He delivered a straightforward speech, and was frequently applauded. Mr Cox gave an intelligent review of his parliamentary experience, and after referring to abolition, and regretting the want of uniform local governments through the colony, he alluded to the endeavour of the government to establish some definite system of distributing funds to local bodies, as the members of the Government could not stay in Wellington attending to such matters, and yet stump the country from June to January.^ He opposed the land tax, advocating instead a property tax- and diicussed the question of capital, capitalists, and labour. Ho waxed eloquent on the rise, and fall of the late Ministry, and the rite and progress of the Grey Ministry. He disapproved of a universal franchise, and vigorously defended Southern runholders, ridiculing the. idea of an iniquitous monopoly. Native affairs re ceived long attention in his speech, and the Hon. J. Sheehan was highly eulogised for his honest speech and purpose. Sir George Grey receiviug hostile criticism, Mr Cox stated that his resignation had been sent to the Speaker on account of failing health, audaskedall to forget differences of opinioti. At the close he was applauded. Mr Kennedy Hill proposed a vote of thanks for his services, and regret at his resignation, which was carried with one dissentient, and cheers for Mr Cox.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow Fsq., R.M.) THE EAKLY TBAIN.

Joha McGeary, Daniel Bassett, aud Lucy Neal were fined for drunkenness. BLITHE JENNY. Jane Kelly, alias Blithe Jenny, was found capering and singing, "An Irish lad for me" at the top of her voice at midnight, by the light of the moon. Jane pleaded drunkenness, she "had a drap in her 'cc." Being a very old offender, the Court im posed a fine of 10s and costs. A BOWDY PATIENT. Thomas Harris pleaded not guilty to a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct last night at the Provincial Hospital. , Dr. C. A. Cooper deposed the mans conduct was of a boisterous character, and disturbed the whole of the patients. Harris had got away without leave, and came in the worse for liquor^ Several patient 3 were obliged to assist in securing the prisoner. Constable Madden took the prisoner into custody with much difficulty. Fined 20s and costs, or in default, 48 hours. THE POISONING CASE. Archibald Campbell was again brought up* on a charge of administering a quantity of arsenic to John B. Smith, at Block House Bay on the 4th of June, with intent etc., also, witKburglarousW entering the dwell ing of the said John B. Smith, aud stealing therefrom an overcoat and other clothing, value £2. Sub-Inspector Pardy stated the circum stances. While the prosecutor was away selling his fish, some person got into his house and put arsenic iv his tea. Suspicion rested upon the prisoner, as he hao bee a seen near the house, and on a previous occasion prisoner had seen Smith place the arsenic in a certain part of the house. Detective Jeffery had made every investiga tion, and there were reasons for suspecting another person in connection with the case. There was evidently a desire on the part of some person to poison Smith, as a former attempt had been made. Iv order to the appearance of the suspected person he would ask for a remand. Remanded for a week. A ST.HAYING GOAT. Benjamin Gilmour was charged with per mitting his goat to wander in Hepburu street on the 29th ult. Mr Laishley pleaded guilty for defendant. Fined 5s and costs. "KING PAIN " AND THE PHEASANT. John Tucker, butcher aud poulterer, was charged with a breach of the Municipal Police Act, by selliug a dead pheasant to Mazellah Scott on the 7th inst., and which ■ was considered unfit for human food. Mr Hesketh, for defendant, pleaded not guilty. • . Sub-Inspector Pardy stated the circum stances. , . ■ ~ , Mazellah Scott, " King of Pain,' dsposed that he purchased a brace of pheasants of Mj Tucker, on the evening in question, and Ofte of them was in a stinking state. He sent his girl back with it, when Mr Tucker said the bird was all right. He went to Mr

Tucker and asked for some satisfaction about it; but as Mr Tucker refused he took the bird, to the police station. To Mr Hesketh : He was an American, and the lady who was to dine with him, knowing he was going to purchase game, told him not to purchase " gamy birds," that meant high, garnished with maggots, He could not tell whether they were cock pheasants ; nor could he speak of them from a medical point of view. He liked the fresh bird. Abraham Bowden carried the birds for Mr Scott; took a glass of ale by the way. He knew what birds were, and was satisfied one of those sold by Mr Tucker to the professor was not fit to eat. To Mr Hesketh: He was colonial born, and had done a little in the sporting way; had knocked down some thousands in his time. Knew a good pheasant. John Thompson saw the pheasants. They were rather high. He hung -thorn up on Mr Quick's premises for a short time. Mrs Bowden stated that she plucked the pheasants, but refused to cook one of them, as it was putrid, and unfit for the table. To the Court: She had thirty years' experience as a cook, and had dressed many pheasants during that period. Sergeant-Major Mason expressed his opinion as to the condition of tne birds; they were not very fresh. John Oassells, manager of St. Mungo Cafe, who had twenty-flve years experience in Kngland, Australia, and New Zealand, deposed that a pheasant shoud be a week old before it was cooked. Witness then described the professional mode of picking, dressing, and cooking pheasants. His opinion was not novel. Joseph Cowson. of East Tainaki, supplied the pheasants to Mr Tucker. They were shot the day before: at least he understood so. To Mr Pardy: He could speak of his own knowledge. The young man who.shot them was William Murphy. Mr Tucker, defendant, depooed to receiving the birds of the last witness, and selling the brace to thei informant. They were in good condition. When ho brought it back it waa partly plucked, or he would gladly have returned the money. The demand for pheasants was very great this season. To the Court: He had about eight years' ex perience in buying and selling pheasants. Edward Lawronce, butcher, gave evidence in favour of defendant, Thomas Smith, a cook, of thirty years' ext porience, deposed that a pheasant was not good until at least five or six da} s after death; it waa hen delicious; but if you want a pheasant iv lull flavour.it must be seven days; he liked a bird eight days old. To Mr Pardy : He would not like to say he was a good cock, he had never turned a cat into a rabbit; not quite as bad as that. His Worship considered that a good deal depended'upon the taste; these pheasant might have been unpalatable, but the evidonco did not shew that they were unwholesome. Ho would like to have Dr Gpldabro's opinion, as his name had been mentioned as a lover and judge of; pheasants. The case was dismissed, but he could not help remarking in tho case that Mr Tucker might have substituted another bird, even if it had been a loss to him. BRRACIEH OF BY-LAWS. Thomas Naakerill was fined 5a and costs for driving ronnd tho corner of Queen and Victoria streets, and endangering the lives of Alfred Mitchell and Samuel Hughes. John Thomas, of Nelson-street, was charged with placing an obstruction in Fort-street, on the night of "the 3rd intst., to the inconvenience and danger of persons passing. The chargo was proved by Constable Dyer. Fined 20s; costs, Us 6d. PETER'S lIORSK. Peter Smith was charged with allowing his grey mare to wander in the Manukau. Mrs Smith : Yes, your Lordship. His Worship : Arc you Peter Smith i Mrs Smith : No, your Worship ; but I'm his wife, and I appear for poor old Peter—the honestest man that ever came from the Shetland Isles. Serjeant Jackson proved the case. Fined 5s ; costs, Bs. CITY RATES About twenty city rate cases were settled out of Court.

THE AUCKLAND RAILWAY TERMINUS.

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

Sir,—Your article of 12th inst. re above is of vital importance to the City of Auckland, and not less to the financial success of the Auckland and Waikato Railway. Every stranger visiting: our city suddenly discovera that the station is in the wrong place, and all Auckland people know it also. The fact is patent to all, but this know ledge will not remove it without practical eflort. What is required is : (l3t) That the exist ing station remain as at present for wool, wheat, or otheT shipping goods ; and (2) that a line be made, with terminus, near Victoria-street JSast, or other suitable site in the neighbour hood of Queen-street. The lato site of Cousins and Aktin's Factory would be a fairly convenient one. Now, sir, it is only a question of time and money, and of the first we can suy, no time like the present; and ot the second that, never hence will so little of it be required to accomplish the obiect: as every yearwill see valuable buildings erected on the future site (wherever it may be) that will require to be purchased and removed— a proceeding that becomes very expensive when many claimaatsmay prefer compensation where pos3ibiy only a few could do so now, and those of comparatively small amounts, as no great in eonvonience or loss is at stake. And now, sir, I would suggest that an agitation commence in order to respectfully request the Govern ment to perform ao necessary a work. First let all property-holders in the neighbourhood of the proposed site take the matter in hand, form a Committee and get up a good public meeting, as they without doubt v/uuld be great gaincr3 by the new terminus. Secondly- Let such Committee prepare an address to the Government such address or petition to receive the signatures of all interested, which means every person in the province of Auck land who is interested either in business or pleasure, and let, this petition or copies of such petition be taken by competent agents through out, at least, the entire city and suburb 3. Thirdly—Let the merchants and business men of Auckland prepare a like address, and every one of them sign it. Fourth—Let an address be prepared and signed by the farmers, grain producers, dairymen, and others, residents in the adiacent country f districts, and lastly let these petitions, with the resolutions carried at the meeting, be duly binned, etc.. and placed in the hands of two Auckland membci-s for presoatation to the Government; and I venture to say, that with present financial pros pects, ono of the most important improvements in the Cir.y of Auckland will soon be an ac complish', d fact. Trusting these suggestion will prompt something definite.—l am, sir, B.W. June 13th, 1878.

THEATRE ROYAL.

PRODUCTION OF " ULTIMO."

There was a very fair attendance at the Theatre Royal last evening, to witness the first production of "Ultimo," a piece possessing very little merit. Mr John Jack took the part of Professor Tesington, a philosopher with a contempt for business, who tries his hand in stocks. Miss Annie Firmin as Virginia Grayson deserves praise for the manner in which she sustained the character. Mr Steele made a very good George Pittman : andMrMusgrave played well as Mr Gregory Graysou, a banker. Miss Fanny Lexington, the Professor's daughter, by Mrs Walter Hill, was a good impersonation. The other characters were :—Mr Langley, Mr F. Mason ; Dr. Bruno, Mr Burford; Mr "Goodman, a bookseller, Mr Emmet; Mr De H'Ass, Mr O'Brien ; Pauline Lexington, Miss Jessie Raymond ; Caroline Grayson, the banker's poetic wife, Miss Lilly May. MISS ANNIE FIRMIN'S BENEFIT TO-NIGHT. This evening Miss Annie Firmin will take a well-deserved benefit, the piece se lected being "Ultimo." The performance is announced under the patronage of his Worship the Mayor and the City Council lors. It may be hoped that Miss Firmin's friends will come forward this evening and reward the effort? of the charming benefi ciare with a bumper house.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board was held yesterday in the offices, Parliament-street. D. A. Tole, Esq. (Chief Commission) in- the chair.

A portion of the business appeared in our last issue, and the following concluded it. Mongonui.—An application was received on behalf of Mr Reed, from Mr George Kelly, native interpreter, complaining of losses to which he was continually subjected in conseqiience of natives encroaching upon his land at Mongonui, and digging gum ; also, in losing his sheep, which were frequently worried to death by dogs. Mr Reed holds 20,000 acres of land in the district, and Mr Kelly should be allowed to charge natives for gum digging, or have his lease cancelled. It was resolved to hand over the letter to the Native Minister. Major Beeton's Application.—This gentleman applied for permission, to appoint another person to occupy his house at North Shore, instead of being obliged reside there himself ; he undertaking to superintend the cultivation and improvement of the land. The request was granted. A number of similar applications were considered from rural districts. Patutaiii Block.—A report was read from the chief surveyor, with a plan. The block contains 16,258 acres. The report contained various selections. These sugges tions were duly considered by the Board, and it was finally resolved to allow the matter to stand over, as the Board had already determined to deal with these lands at an early date. Immigration Land Okpee.—A letter was received from Mr Horatio Nelson Warner on behalf of Mr John Bigelow, shipbuilder for the exercise of an immigrant's land order, which had lapsed, but had been renewed by Mr Justice Gillies. The Board declined to interfere. Trees At Mount Edkn.—A letter was received from Mr Albert Beetham, asking permission to fence in and plant trees at the back of his property at Mount Eden. The Board immediately gran ted; the request, considering the oiler most liberal, and which action on the part of Mr Beetham would add to the natural beauty of the locality. This was all the business.

EVENING Si AII FRIDAY, JUNE 14



A special meeting of the City Council will be held on the -17th July, for the purpose of fixing the levels of Upper Queen-street, Karangahape- Road, Pitt^ s'ymonds, Liverpool, Laurie, Hardinge" and Turner-streets ; also of the City Road. Plans may be seen at the City Surveyor's office. Yes, brother journalists, there will come a time when religious societes will not expect seven dollars' worth of gratuitous advertising in return for a ticket entitling the bearer to a chance in a raffle for a ninety nine-cent hair brush.—"Albany Argus."



We notice by advertisement that Mr Williams, tailor and outfitter, of Victoiia stieet, is offering capital woollen tweed trousers at 18s. "Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ot coke as a tuel, and as a ineaus 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 of cooking apd raising steam, as it absorbs tue smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the lire 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 result. The price of coke is advertised else where.— [Advt.l



We comineud the following to the notice of our civic rulers. Householders might likewise get a few valuable hints. This extract is from the San Francisco " News Letter" :—" Not to be Fooled.—There is One property holder on Montgomery Avenue whom the Street Superintendent can't fool. The first time the straet was graded, they raised Mr Plummer's house 14 feet, aud six weeks affcerwartlß the levels were changed, so that the second-storey windows were below the side-walk. Then the authorities dumped a small mountain on to the avenue, which put the house so high that the owner could sit in the cellar and look at the country ou the other side of Mount Taraal pais. Now the rains have washed away all the soil, aud everybody else's property has settled about three feet and a-half; but Mr Plumrner took the precaution the last time to lix his mansion on jack screws and portable stilts, and every liiie the grade is changed now, lie just elevates or lowers the " shebang" to suit the new grade of the avenue. But the street contractors curse him by all their gods, and it is feared if this plan i,«| generally followed by other house holders, a large body of eminently respect able citizens will be deprived of ttujir only means of subsistence, viz., altering the grades of our streets, and taking up wooden block pavements after they are put down. As, however, the authorities invariably put La a sewer just after a street ia fixed, which caves in? as soon aa it is accepted, street contractors are not utterly without hope, even if Mr Plummer's method of baffling the cormerant should be universally adopted.
