Borough Endowment.

HOW THE WASTE LANDS BOARD SOLD AUCKLAND.

{BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE.)

(From Our. Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. The Waste Lands Board is much to blame for-the action re the endowment of boroughs. It appears that Cook County Council ad dressed the Board, trusting that the north and southern boroughs in Auckland would confine themselves to selecting land in their own districts. The Auckland Board, who had no right to interfere, passed a resolution confirmatory of this. Thirty-six applications have been received and five granted. Last session, Christchurch, Kaiapoi, Akaroa, Lyttelton, and Timaru received 2,000 acres, valued at five pounds an acre. Auckland, Parnell, and Onehunga, applied for land at Poverty Bay, and were all refused, and land at Mongonui selected by officials in Auckland. This is entirely owing to the interference of the Waste Lands Board. The Thames will get 100 acres in the Borough, and 2,000 acres at Ohinemuri as soon as the native title is completed. Nearly all boroughs South have received from 1,000 to 2,000 acres first-class laud. AUCKLAND DEPUTATION RE BOROUGH ENDOWMENTS. A deputation of Aucklaud members waited on Mr Stout to-day, and represented the poor quality of the lands granted to Auckland Boroughs as endowments. Mr Stout requested them to ascertain the value of lands and the feeling in the Boroughs in question, and see him again. On dit, that complaints are coming from all Boroughs on the same subject, and Ministers say that if the complaints are pushed to far the Boroughs will get nothing.

Mary Ann Gillan, James Richards, and Patrick Mullius were fined 5s each, and James Gollan 10s for being durnk and in capable. ATTACKING A CONSTABLE. Thomas Yarrow, a sailor, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and with assaulting Constable Madden while in the execution of his duty. Prisoner said he was drunk, but would not plead guitly to biting his finger. Constable Madden deposed that he was on duty in Queen-street this morning at one o'clock, when prisoner appeared in a wild state, yelling a;:d storming, and causing great excitement in the street. He and auother constable persuaded him to go to his ship, aud he went towards the wharf, but when he got to the Wharf Hotel, he re-commenced, and when in the act of arresting him, prisoner seized his finger between his teeth, and nearly bit the tip off. He screamed out with pain, and it was with difficulty that he extricated his fiuger from prisoner's teeth. Prisoner said he was a sailor on board the Hawea, and feeling himself at liberty took an extra drop of drink ; he had no recollec tion of biting the constable's finger ; he had previously indulged in a good supper at the " Buffet."

The constable said his finger was better, and would not hinder him from pursuing his duty. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s or 43 hours for drunkenness, and 40s or one month for assaulting the constable. Prisoner. "I can't pay it, I shall have no money till I get to Dunedin."
