HAMILTON, this day.

THE BALL LAST NIGHT.

The ball was a great success. It was opened by Colonel Lyon and Mrs Vialou. His Worship the Mayor, though suffering from rheumatism, also attended. The room Tvas tastefully decorated, and with the elegant dresses of the ladies aud the neat unflorm of the cavalry presented a fashion able and pleasant eight. Host Pearce was highly complimented on his arrangements. The Cambridge band furnished the music. Rewi is willing to assist the negotiation between Sir George Grey and Tawhiao to a satisfactory conclusion. HONANA TE MAIHO'S VIEWS.

Honana Te Maiho, uncle of Tv Tawhiao, accompanied the young prince to the Cavalry Ball. Honana maintains that Kewi has agreed to what Sir. George Grey and Tawhiao said at Hikurangi. The Prince's visit is intended to demon strate the reconciliation effected between the two races and Tawhiao's inclination to accept the proposals. WHAT THE PAKE HA MAORIS SAY.

On the other side of the question it is alleged that your contemporary has been misinformed as to Rewi's statements, and that Rewi desires to contradict the "Herald'r report,that the native idea is strengthening ; that Tawhiao is to have jurisdiction ove' most of the Waikato, instead of the Queen ; the Europeans to retain possession of the lands, Tawhiao assuming the control of affairs and levying taxes.

Prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge, butsaidjhe had no recollection of tearing the tunic.

Fined 10s and costs for the first offence, and 20s (the value of the tunic) for the second. Prisoner was about to favour the Court with some remarks on the hardness of the sentence, but was bundled out. AS USUAL. • Ann Finn was fined 10s and costs for being drunk in Durham-street yesterday.

The prisoner had just been set at liberty, after suffering 18 months im prisonment. He pleaded guilty.

Costs, £1 6s 3d.

Defended Cases. Wm. Crowther v. C. A. Robertson.— Claim,. £15.—Mr Hesketh for plaintiff, and Mr Lusk for defendant. —This was a claim for damage for injuries done to a horse.— The defence was a complete denial of the claim. —A letter was put in from Dr. Hart inann, an important witness, who had been subpoened in the case, stating that he was ill in bed and unable to attend, and that Dr. Gold,.bro' would give a certificate to that effect.—William Crowther, livery stable-keeper, deposed that Mr Robertson came to him on the sth October to hire a horse. He let defendant have Dr. Hartman's horse. Ho waited up until halt-past two oclock, but Mr Robert son did not return. The horse was returned fifteen day's after. Defendant called and said he believed the horse had been mali ciously injured, and the services ef Mr Hal stead wore called in. The horse had been turned into Mr Lock's paddock at Seafield View. He went to see the horse, and found it was very badly hurt, by a broken glass bottle; the wound was between the heel and the fetlock. He paid £15, for the horse, the amount of this claim : Mr Lusk had offered £5, in full settlement. Cross-examined by Mr Lusk. William fl. Kissling deposed that he con sidered the £5 offered by Mr Lusk inrufficient, and that he had frequently pressed Mr Lusk and defendants for a fair settlement. Detective Grace had examined the ground and shewn that the injury to the horse was accidental.

Mr Halstead. vetrinary surgeon, deposed .hat the injuries to the horse had rendered ;he antral useless. .

Mr Lusk contended that there had been no negligence by defendant, and tHat plaintiff could not maintain the action as he had no special property in the horse. Charles A. Robertson, teacher, had hired the horse, but as thero was no time of hiring specified had considered himself justified in putting him into the paddock. His Worship reserved judgment. .

COURT ZEALANDIA'S ANNUAL GATHERING.

It is with pleasure we chronicle the fifth anniversary of the above Court of Foresters. It is, without exception—composed, as it is, of mostly young men—a pattern to other kindred "societies. Every year a concert and ball is hold by them, and it is now looked forward to as one of the principal events of the year. Last night's entertain ment was an unqualified success. The proceedings were opened-by P.D. OR. Bro. E. Auger, who—after apologising for the unavoidable absence of his Worship the Mayor—occupied the chair. On the platform We noticed the fallowing representatives of different societies : —Bro. Jas. ; Patterson (Court City of Auckland, A.O_F.),.Mr H. Smith (Amalgamated Car penters), Mr Tait (Rechabites), Messrs T. White, , Jno. Patterson, and W. Doran '(H.A.C.'B.S.). Bro. C. Dwyer (Court Robin Hood, A.0.F., Pamxuire), Bro. H. T. Garrett* (District Secretary), Bro. F. Christmas (secretary), and several .others. After a -few remarks from the chairman, Mr C. Hill sang " Happy bo thy Dreams," which was loudly applauded. The secretary then read the annual report and balance sheet, which was of a very satisfactory nature, and shewed the Court to be in a sound financial position. • Mr Dean then sang "Life is a River," in c.'ipital style. Mr. Jas. Patterson, in a Bhort speech, ex pressed pleasure at being present at such a gathering, and was followed by Mr. T. White, who, on behalf of the Hibernians, wished the.Foresters every success. Master Garrett (a small boy of seven) sang the pathetic song, " Sweet Spirit hear my Prayer," with chil "-like simplicity, and to the admiration of the audience. The chair man, at this inteival, ; had to note that complimentary tickets had been sent to the different Oddfellows' Lodges,- but nc*. representatives were present. Several short speeches followed ; after which Mr: -A. Smith recited "Roger and his Dog," r and in response to an encore gave " Whaur's my Stockin'. " Mr J. K. Emmet's speci ality, " The Lullaby," was then sung splendidly by Mr Richards, who made'his first appearance in public. . His imitation was really immense. He was accompanied on the banjo by Bro., F. Christinas, who manipulated it in a masterly manner. Various other addresses and songs 'were given, chief among which were a song and dance, " The Lily of the Valley," by Messrs Bertie and Rice, which was given quite professionally, secured an encore, and Was repeated; "Happy Moments,"" by Mr C. * Hill ; and last, but not least, the great " War Song," which was sung in a. capital manner by Mr H. Dean, who held in his hand a pretty little English flag. At; the conclusion of- this song the chairman: fe quested"all Foresters "present" to rise and give the " Foresters' Fire," and after a few remarks this part of the entertainment ciosqd.' The hall was then cleared and dancing commenced, which was entered into with-much spirit by all present, P.D.C.R. Bro. T. McEwin acting as M.C, and the music being supplied by a good string baud, under the leadership of Mr E. Arthur. Great credit is due to the committee for the successful manner in which all the arrange ments were earned out ; also for the liberal amount of refreshments supplied during the whole night. Dancing was kept up till the early hours, and all went home thoroughly satisfied with their night's pleasure.

MEYERS CASE.

■r ■■_, (To the.Editor.) ' ' SiK,—Mostpeople,especiallythoeew^oknow the smallnees of the writer's motive, be-thoroughly disgusted with the continual and cowardly attacks, made in the «Herald", upon H. S. Meyers. The genuineness of this pseudo>ppeal for even hauded justice may be estimated when it is known that Messrs Wilson, a month ago, signed a petition for Meyers' actual release

from gaol, on the ground that the physica . prostration . which bi ought him t< I death's door had supplemented th i hand of justice, and punished him severely enough. The. o-called facts of the "Herald' ; are such deliberate misrepresentations fo; . a brutal object, that, in justice to th. { Judge who ordered the removal, and the . doctors upon whose certificate Meyers ' was taken to the hospital, no less ! than to the unhappy victim himself, I will with your permission state the simple facts connected with Meyer's imprisonment. When first conveyed to gaol, under sentence of cix months imprisonment without hard labour, Meyer's learned that a time allow ancelwasi made gin gaol regulations for working with the gang iv the quarry. For the sake of this, and to keep his mind occupied, he accepted hard labour, .and worked in the quarry for some time. The mental anxiety,' combined with change of diet and life, brought about the result that might have been expected, and Meyers' was prostrated with an incurable dysentry.. Re lay for a month in the gaol hospital, a close, wretched room, wholly unsuited for the purpose, with a fire* place in it, at which cooking was going oh from! daylight to dark. Dr. Philson was un remitting in his attention, and several con sultations were also held with Dr Goldsbro', but the patient sank very rapidly, and but little hope was at tbe time entertained of his life. Instances are not unknown of com plete'*release under similar circumstances. There is one man in the gaol now suffering from consumption, who was discharged be fore from a long sentence becauso be lieved to be in a dying state. He employed his liberty badly by breaking into Messrs A. Clark and Co.'s warehouse, and was sentenced to a new term. With Meyers, a less lenient course was adopted, but one suggested by sentiments of common humanity. Mto.r consultation with Drs. Goldsbro' and Hooper, Dr. Rhil son, than whom no more consientious man exists, recommended the removal of the patient to the General Hospital, in the hope that change of air would rally his system. At this time Meyers was sustained simply by continual morphia injections. The recommendation in accordance with law was submitted to'Mr Justice Gillies, in whom the power of ordering the removal of a prisoner rests, and as expressly provided by • statute, Meyers was conveyed, in a semi unconscious state, to the hospital, j The lowness Of his condition may be judged when it is known that he was unaware of the change until he recovered consciousness while lying in the hospital. The "Herald's" allusions to luxurious living are more ruffianly and in worse taste than the rest of the article. Is it not extremely probable, in the first place", that a medical man would recommend luxu rious living to a dysentery patient. Until the last week or two Meyers was allowed absolutely nothing but a little beef-tea or soup (without meat), and dry bread. His diet is still of the most spare kind, no beef or vegetables being allowed him. The "hundred-shilling port" of the "Herald" is represented by the little stimulants which a man in a very low state absolutely needs, and which has been furnished by his friends. The regimen is exactly the same as would have been allowed in the gaol hospital* and the treatment the same—the only gain is change of air, and abuilding better adapted for the treatment of the sick. At the present moment Meyers is confined to bed, suffering from a severe relapse. It is true that Meyers was not placed in the general ward of the hospital, of which so much is made in tbe "Herald," for he is still a prisoner. A watchman visits his room 'three times every nignt. His returnto the gaol hospital, would not make the slightest difference in the amount of comfort and freedom allowed him, except that in the opinion of medical men, it would probably bring on a relapse. If well, Meyers is not necessarily subject to hard labour—his punishment was simply confinement, and it was hardly the purpose of the law to take the man's life, or even permanently ruin his health, merely because the Government hare neglected to provide in the wretched collection oi gaol structures proper accommodation ibr the sick. Nor is it likely that his Honour Jvdge Gillies and Dr. Philson will be moved to cast aside their feelings of humanfty, howl as the " Herald" may, simpW be cause the vanity of a small-minded Visiting Justice of the gaol is offended that he was not consulted in tbe removal. —Yours, &c, J. A.

PETTY PERSECUTION.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Why is the " Herald " so embittered, against the unfortunate prisoner, Meyers, .who is now in the' Provincial Hospital ? Is it because- Meyers, when in difficulties on a previous occasion, owed the "Herald" an account, and subsequently when in a posi tion to do so paid their account iv full, the same as he did with many others ? Or is it anything to do with a certain matter con nected with the Harbour Board, when Meyers was a member, and Meyers would not become a party to the matter being hushed up, although lie was asked to do so ? Or finally is it because a certain lucky gentleman used to drink Meyers' hundred shilling Port, and Moet and Chaudon's champagne, whenever he had the chance to do so, at Mr Meyer's expense, more especially when Meyers was last absent from the colony? lam told Meyers' store man had nothing hardly to do at that time but clear away the empty champagne bottles. If so, it is no wonder he came to ' grief.—Yours, &c., Mercury.

THE LATE NAVAL BOAT RACE.

(To the Editor). Sir,—l am rather surorised to see by your paper that the Nymphe'a crew have, in order to gain tbeilost prestige, resorted to the columns of the press to air their fancied grievance. (The real one is they did and could not win), sol trust you will publish the other side of the tale. The cutter race they talk so much about winning was a measure of boats, not men, as their cutter is colonial built, and is a great deal lighter than ours, which are service boats, and consequently of different build. Had we made so-much about losing, or demanded a handicap, which in all iustice we could have dodo, th-. N.'h might have some reason to crow bd loud if the result had been the same then. In the galley race, the N.B galley was carefully covered over, aud hung in davits two or three days-previous to the race; while our boat was in constant use ; in fact, till within lees than half an hour from the time of starting, we were not certain about getting the boat, and then, becauso they couUi not get in front, they wax wrath, quote latin and Mark Twain, and use all the 9. proverbs in vogue among ladies of a doubtful ago. We intend pulling again in Sydney, and have challenged the N.s crew to do so, and have no doubt the result will give satisfaction to nil of our numerous Auckland friends. — Yours, &c, Justice, Wolverine.
