he must be well satisfied. At all events I think it will be some time before any other Councillor will venture to complain of anything he behoves to be wronjr. I hare no sympathy with either party as regards any harm that might be done by this inquiry. I have prepared an amend ment which I hay handed round to Councillors, but no one appears inclined to second it. It is "That this Council keep to the promise made to Cr. Dickson that if he would make the charges against Mr Anderson in writing they should bo given to two engineers to report on to this Gounod." What do we all admit? Why, that we know nothing about these matters. If it is an engineer's question we are all incom petent to iudge. I believe the Council admits Cr. Dickaon's engineering skill, but no one else know 3 anything about it. I think wo ought to admit that the question is outside our province. If the case wore in the Supreme Court, only a man's own peers .would be allowed to iudge him. , . , Cr. Dickson : lam about to leave, and I wish to occupy the timo of the Council but for a moment. lam goinu- aw«y ; if during the time I have been in this Council or in this city I have given offence to anyone, I am heartily sorry for it. I can only say that I know of no reason for animosity between myself and any member of this Council. I could not but obeerve that some of tho works were faulty, and I believed I was doing my duty in bringing the matter beforo tho Council. If I am to blame for that I must say that lam n»t myse'f conscious of it. If I havo ever intentionally uttared an offensive word against any member of this Council or any of its officer?, I sale that person's pardon. With this expression of my good Willi bes to retire. Councillor Dickson then left the Council Chamber.

Cr. Isaacs : We all wish him succes in what ever place his lot may be. Cr. Morton : Gentlemen this inquiry ia not an engineers question. Cr. Waddel: It was under th« condition that it was an engineers question that we challenged Cr. Dickson to brinsr thess charges. Cr. Masefield: Then why did Cr. Dickson allow this Council to deal with the question ?

Cr. Isaccs : He is not liora to answer. I would not allow Cr. Dickson's name to be discussed now. He is not here to defend himself.

Cr, Cosgravo: Let us go away in peace and quietness ; let ua be liko a band of brothers. A Councillor: I thought you said a band of robbers. (Laughter.) The Mayor put the amendment: "Your Com mittee, after having heard, and examined into, the charges mado by Cr. Dickson, are of opinion that the replies and reasons given arc satisfac tory to this Council." A division resulted an follows :—Ayos (G)— Councillors Fleming, Isaacs, Cosgrave, Morton, Buchanan, and Masefield. Noes (3j— The Mayor, Councillors Goldie and Waddel. Somo discussion onsued in reference to tho recognition of Mr Dickson's services in the Council, but this WftS deferred until after Cr. Dickson's resignation hs.d been officially re ceived.

NAPIER; this day,

MISTAKEN IDENTITY,

Tho unfortunate man, Marskell, has been hunted from post to pillar ever since he has bean in NewZealandin consequence of being mistaken for the murderer Sullivan. He has a wife and five children. _ He has been hounded from the society of his fellows, and driven from the West Coast. Marskell made his way into Hawke's Bay, and quite recen tly found himself employment on Boyle's farm. He had not been working there long before he was recognised as Sullivan by three or four persons who formerly had known the scoundrel, and they were certain they could not make a mistake. The report gcttKn'oised about, and found its way into the papers, that Sullivan had been seen at Have lock. Marskell's life was made miserable, and shortly after a person who took compas sion on him told him he had better clear out, as his life was not safe. Marskell and his wife then came into Napier, and claimed (the " Telegraph" says) the protection of the PA REPORTER INTERVIEWS HIM. Our reporter interviewed the unfortunate couple last night, aud having in his posses sion a photograph of Sullivan was enabled to compare° the photo, of one with the countenance of the other. The photograph was taken about thirteen years ago, when •Sullivan must have been about the same age as -Marskell is now, and this alone is sufficient to prove that Marskell and Sullivan are not one and the same. There is, however, a remarkable likeness Detween the two men. This likeness is more strik ing when Marskell has his cap on; when bareheaded, a difference in the shape of the forehead is perceptible, aud his eyebrows are not shaggy, nor as heavy as Sullivan's. We have deemed it right in the interests of common humanity to give the foregoing particulars to the public m the hope that the dreadful stigma rightly enough attach ing to the murderer may be removed from an innocent man. Marskell was accom panied to Napier by his wife andgdaughter, and obtained lodgings at the Q.C.E. Yesterday' morning these unfortunate people were informed they could not re main there any longer, and to-day they have been wandering about in search of lodgings. Wherever they have called they have been turned away, and, as he himself says, .the finger of scorn has been pointed at nun Tha man s life is almost past bearing, and he earnestly desires to. be removed from this part of the colony. It ia certainly the duty of the Go vernment to relieve Marskell s misery, for had Sullivan never been turned loose unon society Marskell would never have been mistaken for what w not. SALE OF NEWSPAPER PROPERTY. The < < Telegraph" says that Mr Carhle editor ot the " Hawke's Bay Herald, _ has sold out his share and interestiu the business for over £4,000 sterling.

POLICE COURT.-THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq. R.M.) INEBRIATION. A man and woman were fined for drunken ness. A MOTHER IN DISTRESS. Joseph Reilly was charged with failing to contribute towards the support of his aged mother, he being of sufficient ability to ren der such support. Mr Graham said this was a case where the defendant refused to assist his poor mother, although in a position to help her. Defendant said he was a long way in tho country when the summons reached him, and he had not time to 'appear in "'answer; he would assist hia mother according to his means. His Worship asked him what he would offer. Defendant : 5s a week. Mr Graham said the amount would be gladly accepted. Defendant agreed to pay the money to the Serjeant of Police at Hamilton. A NAMELESS VEHICLE. George Wilson was charged with not having his name on one cart, and not having the number on the other. Mr Wilson addressed the court in defence. Sub-Inspector Pardy asked the' lowest fine might be indicted in the first care, and the second might be withdrawn. Fined 2s 9d and costs. HORNE'S " TOBY." Stephen Home pleaded guilty to having a dog in his possession without a collar. Defendant said he was a poor man, and had sent "Toby" to sea, consequently there was no necessity for a collar on the high seas- Fined 2s 6d and costs.

LICENSING COURT.-NOON

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq. (Chairman), Joseph May, G. M. Mitford, F. L. Prime, Esqs., and F. W. Lodge Esq., Clerk.) Messrs Inspector Thomson and fc>uo luspector Pardy represented the police. Solicitors present: Messrs Hesketh, J. B. Russell, Alexander, George Kisshng, and Brock. NEW APPLICATIONS. Valeutiue Blagrove, Richmond Hotel, Ponsonby. Mr Brock applied for a license in this case. Mr Lodge said that he had not received the particulars. Mr Brock said the plans, &c, must have been mislaid. The Court was unable to grant a license to a non-existent house. Mr Brock said that he would not ask for a license to-day, but that the question might be adjourned. Inspector Thoma3 said the house could not be found, although every effort had been made to discover it. It was said that the house was not yet built. The Bench could not entertain the appli cation. Michael Corcoran, late of the Greyhound, applied for a license to the Thames Hotel, Queen and Custom House-streets. Mr Hesketh appeared for the applicant. Mr Lodge said Mrs Grattan still held a Mr Gallagher said he wished to speak on behalf of Mrs Grattan, and he was quite agreeable to the granting of Mrs Grattan's application, Mr Thomson said that he intended to have opposed Mr Corcoran's application, but aa he hadj[laid out a deal of money, it would be a serious matter. If, however, tha license were granted he trusted Mr Corcoran would conduct his house in a more creditable manner than he conducted the Greyhound, in which he encouraged Sunday drinking. The Commissioners were of opinion that the license should be granted to Mrs Grattan, and that Mr Corcoran apply for a transfer in the usual way. The license was granted to Mrs Grattan. Michael Gallaher, for a license to tho Metropolitan Hotel, was treated in the same way, Mrs Ryrie still holding the license. Samuel Jagger, forhcensetoSurvey Hotel Great North Road. Mr Hesketh appeared for the applicant. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for one of the objectors, Mr John Graham. The Bench said there was a multitude of objectors. Mr Thomson said there were seven rooms in the house instead of eleven, as had been The'objectors, Mr John Graham, Rev. B. T. Dudley, and the majority of the inhabi tants of Arch Hill, prayed by petition that the license might notbefgranted.as the salo of alcoholic liquorsin the localitywould tend to deteriorate the'valueof property, and cause the moral and physical degradation of the people. Mr Hesketh said that m a former appli cation made by Mr Jagger nothing was urged against the character of his client. Mr Russell stated that out of the 259 inhabitants of the Arch Hill district only 20 were in favour of the house, and 31 were neutral. " The Bench resolved not to grant the certificate. . ~ Joseph Rose applied for a license for tbo Clarendon Hotel, Queen and Victoria-streets, now in course of erection. ._,_,•_.*. Mr Hesketh for applicant, stated that the contract would be completed on the 7th of next month. Mr Rose was prepared to furnish the house at a cost of £2,000, and make it a first-class family hotel. Mr Thomson said that the house hitherto iv the possession of Mr Rose had been properly conducted. Mr Russell said in carrying out the pro visions of the statute, the Bench should adjourn the application until the house was completed ; he would also ask the CourfctO consider that there were a number brother first-class hotels near at hand, and was the proposed Clarendon Hotel a necessity ? Mr Hesketh answered the objections of Mr Russell. , Mr Thomson said ho had not objected to this application-, as he had heard frequent complaints from travellers that they could not get comfortable hotel accommodation. The referred to were not of the character; required. . Mr Rose explained to the Bench the plan of his projected hotel. .. • The Court adjourned to consider the The Bench refused to grant the certificate on tne part of Joseph Rose.

SiE John Coode.—Mr Firth asked what Sir John Coode had done. The Chairman said that Sir John Coode was engaged by the Colonial Government aud not by the Board. They had been told that if they wished a detailed report on the Harbour the cost would be £300. He (the Chairman) had waited on Sir John Coode shortly after his arrival, but that gentleman had said he was far too busy to do any tiling. Next morning, however, ho went out in a small steamer, and also in spected the dock, but that was for the Colonial Government. The only opinion he had been heard to express was that the drainage ought not to go into the Harbour. In due course Mr Blockett would forward a report. The servants of the Board, and every possible convenience, had been placed at Sir John's disposal.

This wa3 all the business,

ANOTHER OF THE INEVITABLES.

Eesigrnation of Mr D- Keid

A telegram received through the Press Agency to-day Irorn Dunedin announces that Mr Reid has carried out the intention he expressed to the electors of Taieri, in his post-sessional address. The telegram states:—"Mr Reid has forwarded to the Speaker his resignation ars member for Taieri." Mr Reid found that his political views were diametrically opposed to those of his coustituerts, and finding the pressure of public opinion too strong to be resisted, he did not wait until his resignation was de manded, but gracefully gave place toa better man. If all the other members of the Assembly who are just now misrepresenting their constituents aud thwarting their best interests were to follow the excellent ex ample of the member for Taieri, the House and the country would be the -better for it, they would not be missed, and many of the representatives would do the only one meritorious act they have ever done during their political, career.

TEMPERANCE ENTERTAINMENTS.

(To the Editor)

SlK,—I went to tho Temperance Hall entertain ment on Saturday evening, and was particularly struck by the small attendance, and the gene rally uninteresting character of the proceedings. These entertainments, I was informed, originated with the committee of tho Tem perance Society, and will be hold weekly, if practicable, on tho old orthodox teetotal principles, nothing being admitted in song or speech which doos not bear, directly or indirectly, upon the question oC total absti nence. The few persons in attendance, mostly abstainers, were evidently weary of the long:, dry speeches, and before the singing of the closing anthem one by ono had departed. Three long addresses andftthe reading of an eight-paged pamphlet, by an elderly gentlemen of 27, were too muck for a colonial audionce, as was satisfactorily evidenced on Saturday night. Another fact was patent by this entertainment, namely, tbo disunion which exists among tho friends of total abstinence, which is distinctly marked amongst the Templars of Auckland. The old Phari saical feeling, "I am better than thou,' ia largely prevalent, and must of necessity impede the progress of the cause to a great degree. X.Y.Z. says, "We must have a respectable lodge, auart from rhe loss educated ; It wont do to associate •■ ith tho vulgar." A.B.C. says, "We will not associate with so-and-so ; we will keep to our own lodge, und bo a\ peculiar people." D.E.F. says, "We will be of a "fraternal" character, but tho fraternity shall not extend beyond our limits." Others are distinguished by black and white— oae will admit the negro, and the othor won't. Templar entertainments, Co be successful, should be generally attractive. Amusements, when lightly (not vulgarly) conducted, have a human ising influence, and among these bonds of seoiety, no one produces such unmixed good as music, and yet this aid to temperance appears to be disregarded in the newly-organised move ment in Albert-street Hall. In every com munity there must be pleasures, relaxations, and means of agreeable excitement, and if innocent ones are not furnished, resort will bo had to othors of a less creditable nature. If the Unionists of Albert-street wish their venture to be successful in drawing the people, they must certainly infusa a little mora life into their pro ceedings, as a dry-as-dusfc service is |not exactly the thing to satisfy an Auckland audience.— I am, &c, Observer. Monday, May 27, IS 78. [The abovo letter has been in type a week, but was held ov<;r from day to day through lack of space.]

E\ENING STIIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 4



Gas is superior to every other material as a light-giving agent, not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time aud labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society it is in high favour ; taking rank with the necessaries, as well as the elegancies of life. It merits whatever can be said on its behalf. Those who have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.]



The police of Wellington are trying to discover the vendors of the dangerous kerosene that has caused so many accidents. Under the head of " Russian spies on board British ■; ironclads," the "United Service Gazette" comments in strong terms on the fact that a German Prince who is attached to the Russian army, together with another officer, both attired in Russian uniform, were on board H.M.S. Sultan, for two days as guests, and during that time witnessed all sorts of operations for the de fence of the ships against night torpedo attacks. While Stanley was away exploring the interior of Africa, his affianced, a New York lady, got tired of waiting, and went explor ing around for another mate, and she succeeded. Madame Moller, Miss Moller, and Mr Carey have been giving some successful concerts at the Athemeum, Wellington. A landlady in Wellington had a lodger who took a deep interest in the science of phrenology. He went away without paying a small account which he owed the good woman, and she detained seven skulls as security. Another, and still more novel way of recovering a debt has been exem plified in Christchurch by a Mr Peiper. The debtor bolted to Lyttelton. Mr Peiper pursued, demanded his money, and not getting it, " went for" the unhappy debtor, giving him a terrific pummelling. While this was proceeding the debtor's wife appeared on the scene, and paid the money. Then the creditor "shouted" drinks for his late foe, and all was peaceful. But two days later the victorious Pieper was pulled up for assaulting his debtor, and had to pay a fine and costs of £2 5s 4d. A seaman on board tho British fleet off Constantinople, writing to his friends in England, describes the entrance of the fleet into tho Dardanelles. As the ship neared the hatterics, the Duke of Edinburgh went round to each of the guns on board the Sultan, and told the saameu that he knew they would uphold the glory and honour of their country, upon which the crew gave him three hearty cheers. Tho following postscript is added to the letter: "P.S. —The Duchess of Edinburgh is the nicest lady that ever was, aud all for the sailors. Before we left Malta there were games, aud tho sailors wero getting rather the worst; then the Duchess said she would uever believe British sailors could not beat all the world, so wc went at it again—and didn't we win, and didn't we cheer the Duchess."
