Mr Carew, It.M., fined a schoolmaster at Waimea, named Mr Jolly, 20.3. and costs, for punishing a scholar with undue severity. A DUSEDIN SHYLQCK. In the Magistrate's Court, Henry Ben jamin, money - leader, sued. Abraham Solomon, pawnbroker, claiming £5 for i wrongful detention of a piauo. Plaintiffs cuae wa3 that he had advanced to a Mrs Thomson, a widow, a sum of money, she giving him, in consideration thereof, a bill of sale over her furniture. Subsequently, the plaintiff discovered that Mrs Thomson jj a( j disposed of most of the furniture, and' that the piano, in particular-, had been, pawned with the defendant. The plaintif? endeavoured to gels the piauo from defen dant, but the latter refused to give it up, Defendant's counsel said the defence

would show up the manner in which ono, ;at least, of the money-lending establish ments of the the city carried on business. The plaintiff had been charging Mrs Thomson at the rate of 1,200 per cent, for the money—not a shilling of which she had eirer touched. Henry Benjamin, plaintiff deposed: I am the Company advertising in the papers as money-lenders on the most reasonable terms in New Zealand. Some months ago Mrs Thompson called, and toll me that she had two oailiffs in her house one for rent, and one for money she owd Moss under a bill of sale. She wished t> borrow some money to pay these off. Sle wanted £60 to clear Moss, and there were in addition rent, law expenses, md Tritnesiies' expenses. The legal and witnesses' expenses were very he;vy, for lawyers always charged 500 or 600 per cent, on money involed in any tranaacion. They always got nearly all the miiiey, and that was why inoney-lendors hdL to charge so high. The legal charge for v bill of sale was about £5. He paid Moss SI 6s 'Bd. Ihere is claim of £5 5s for preparing the bill of sale. I have not paid thatsum, but I am liable to my lawyer who chirged me £2 18s for this amount. I actually paid altogether £84 odd. The bill of sale jays : "Lent and advanced to Mrs Thomson £120." I hare not advanced that sum actua, the snm advanced being £84. I can't calculate interest. Counsel : What is 9s 4d per week oi £5 Witness : I decline to answer. ? . His Worship : If you are engaged inbusi nessof that kind you must stand the riik of having it exposed to the public whenever \ opportunity offers. Witness : Well, well, it is about i,OOO per cent. Counsel : And that accords with your advertisement. Mrs Thomson, in her evidence, said Then she went to negotiate the loan she was-told that ten per cent, would be chaged. £70 was what she asked. She signed the Mil of sale without getting anything. Whei she asked for the money, which she did on several occasions, Benjamin said she vould get it after expenses had been paid. She asked plaintiff's clerk to read over the bill of sale to her, but. he declined, saying he was too busy. Plaintiff's bailiff sold the things not included in the bill of sale, even to her childrens' presents. Mr Bathgate held that the piano vested in plaintiff's bill of sale, and he was entitled to recover the case, was a hard and distres sing one, and he had no sympathy with the plaintiff. Judgment for a shilling with lowest possible costs.

EDUCATION IN AUCKLAND.

(To tie Editor of the Star.) Sir, —I wouU be sorry to offer anyfeugges tion calculated to impair the authority or the dignity oiour Board of Governos, yet the present imsatisfactory proceedhgs in matters of ths highest importance to the State, imperatively demand condennation and redress. A wider selection of its offi cial members, fairly representing tio va rious denominational bodies, might be the means of seeming wiser and broader views in the administration of education, and of averting these unseemly scene iuthefuture, whose family parties would be unhiown, and committees of two with plenary powers a thing of the past. Surely measures that originated with a poll-tax—measures effect ing the vital interests of our communities —warrant some sounder basis than tlie pre sent \Vhat we want is responsible, pa triotic, reprosantatiye' men, not military autocrats holding sinicures.—lam, fee., A SUBSCiUBER.

Sir, —While the Grammar School admin istration is uppermost in public attention, can you inform me under what regulation one or more highly-favoured boys, who do not hold scholarships, are receiving free tuition, md by whom was the regulation made?—Yours,&c., Paul Pry.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir,—lf there is anything in the suggestion of your correspondent "M.A.," about the illegality of the election of Colonel Haultain, would not the standing tot Mr Justice Gillies and of Dr Campbell bo equally in question. In that case how could the matter be tried in the j,Supreme Court, However, I think that few of us would like to lose Dr Campbell's services.

THE BOMBAY ELOPEMENT.

We have very much pleasure in triving publicity to the following note on the above interesting subject: "Sir,—With reference to a paragraph which appeared in last Monday evening's Star, havinz reference to a reported elopement from the Bombay Settlement of a youug lady of the name of Sophia, the undersigned presents her compliments to the editor, and begs to say that, there are more young ladies than one of the name of Sophia in this district, and that who ever mo,y have been the individual in question, it was not Sophia Fleming. Bombay Settle ment, Great South Road." In endorsement of the foregoing, we must completely exonerate Mis 3 Sophia Fleming of any part in the little excapado referred to, and which caused such a flutter of interest in the rural glades of Bombay. And wo are also glad to learn that the other wayward Sophift, who did leave the Settlement so mysteriously, has returned to her anxious parents.
