it and (stamping his feet) would not sit down till ho took his hat off. (Tremendous uproar.)—Thc Chairman :Mr Stephenson has a reason for it.—Mr Staines : That accounts for it. (Laughtcr.)-Mr Stephen son eaid that £300 would bo available, £100 would be subscribed, aud a gentleman in the meetiug was prepared to go security to the bank for another £100.—Mr Warren said ho would mtiko tho culvert to its lull width, build the wall aud form the street permanently to Cross-street. —Mr Stephen sou thought tbe work could be done without any ditlicultyon the score of wantof fund*. — —Mr Wnrrcii: To do the work in its en tirety would leavo tho Board £200 in debt. A burnt child dreaded the lire, and the Board had once been in debt, (Cries of " Upper Queen-street.") Upper Queen street had bud a good deal of money ex pended on it. That street would havu been thoroughly made but for Mr Staines mid another party, who claimed compensation. Other persona said they would not claim compensation so long as the district was im proved. Such gentlemen were the people wanted to improve any district. (Yells). — Hero Mr Staines aro-io in wrath. His uiiiiie had been imported (laughter) and bo would speak. Tho statement made by Mr War ren was simply untrue. (Laughter). He had been misrepresented. (Confusion, cries of "shut up," "sit down," and general disorder).—Mr Wurrcu : Mr Staines wanted ub to build a wall which he could plant his house ou. (Laughter.)—Mr Staines : I did not want you to do nothing, sir.—Mr Warren : He wanted a wall which would cost £70 —Mr Staines : Well, why should I be injured ? — | Mr Warren : Wo could not fill in the allot ment, because wc were short of earth.—Mr Staines: Its untrue—l say its untrue. (Another uproar, aud great confusion.)— The Chairman : To order, gentlemen, one nt a time. (Here Mr Burns joined Mr Staines on the lloor.nnd thiugsbegatito look rather queet). Both were apparently very much excited, and by way ot a cooler Mr Staines tilled a glass *-ith water, Hereupon Mr Burns poured out another, nud offered it to him, which made Mr Staines so angry that he retorted " You're a muff, sir." The reply of Mr Burns was inaudible to the greater number present, but it bud the effect of inducing Mr Staines to apologise, and shako hands.)—Mr Burns said the trustees believed that it was too much to do for Pitt-street. Tho other side must be done. " This sido of the gully had not received its fair share of the rates." —The Chairman challenged Mr Burns with speaking foreign to tho sub ject, upou which ho sat down.—A rate payer objected to tho course of procedure. Tho Chairman let his own aide speak foreign to the subject for as loop; as they liked, but directly Mr Burns mado v slip bo saton him.—Mr Burns said tho Board bad gono iuto debt betoro thoy got the sub sidy last time, and why not this time. —\t this stage of the proceedings au excited dis cussion took place between the Chairman and several gentlemen, and the remarks passed wero far from complimentary.—Dr Wnllis rose and said the proceedings were simply disgraceful, and if the Chairman was to allow such cross-questioning and answering they would stay there till morn ing.—Mr Warren said he bad the right to reply to some remark made by Mr Burns. —Mr Staines (stamping): I say you're out of order. I say you're out of order. I call "Chair."—Mr Warren : I wish to make a correction. —Mr Staines: I say "Chair" most decidedly, and I'll not let you go on.—Dr. Wallis suggested that the chairman should only allow gentlemen to speak once, in order to get through the discus sion. He agreed with Mr Burns that " this side of the gully had not jusiico done it." Ho admitted that the Chairman aud Mr Warren bad behaved so energetically tbat they had aright to a large share of the expenditure. (Laughter.) The was so badly off for lights, that it was actually indebted to the publicans. In fact, the public-bouse would givo most aid ,to morality in tbe district by affording li_»bt_, unless the Board would find means to light tbe streets. — Aratcpayer suggested that they soould have the names on the streets.—The Chairman decided to put the question, and took the motion in his hand with the intention of reading it.—Several objected, and hilly twenty minutes was wasted in tbo discus sion as to whether the motion or the amendment should be put first. Eventually Mr Bevan's motion was put (to expend £300 from tbe rates), and was declared to be carried by a largo majority—so to 3. — On the motion of Dr. Wallis, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman.

The Case of Madden, Soli citor.

WELLINGTON, this day. The Chief Justice yesterday drew tho atten tion of the Law Society to the case of Mr Madden, solicitor, at Rnngitikei, whom it wns recently moved to strike off the rolls. Madden, he said, had not taken out a certi ficate to practise, and unless the Law Society took tho matter up he would direct the Registrar to move for a rule for committing Mr Madden for contempt. The " Wanganui Herald" of the 23rd ult, contains the following :—Before Ins Honor the Chief Jnsticeon Friday afternoon, Mr Chapman appeared in tlie matter of Mr Madden, a solicitor, and moved for a rule absolute to have him struck off the rolls, on the ground of the alleged misappropriation by him of money belonging to a client. Mr Gully appeared for the solicitor. The case being still "sub judice," it would be unfair to publish the full particulars. During the course of argument his Honor remarked tbat on the evidence before him he did not think a jury would convict the solicitor ot misappropriation. One of the worst features of the case, however, was the fact that, despite tbe fact that present pro ceedings had been pendiog for a long time, the money which the solicitor in question was charged with having misappropriated had not yet been paid over by him to his client. Mr Gully said no doubt it ought to have beeu paid, but he was unable to say why this had not been done. His Honor was of opinion that he ought to adjourn the matter, to enable the money to be banded over. Mr Chapman mentioned that a letter had been received from tbo solicitor, offering to pay the money on certain conditions— viz., that proceedings against him be en tirely dropped; but this condition he (Mr Chapman), actingjunder tbe Law Society, could not accept. The Chief Justice said lie could not understand why, if the proceed ings were bona fide, the money still remained unpaid. Mr Gully—His answer to that, your Honor, is that he has never been asked for the money. His .Honor—Why should he wait till ho is asked for it ? Mr Gully— Of course, there are reasons I suppose. His Honor—l think the best way will bo to post pone the matter, and speak to him again) on the subject. Mr Gully—Very well, your Honor : I will do what 1 can to get him to pay the money, If your Honor adjourns the case, it will probably bo on tbe under standing that if the money is paid these pro ceedings will be abandoned. His Honor— We wont say anything about what the understanding may or 'may not be. The matter will be adjourned for seven days.

CIRCUS AND ALBERT RESERVE. (To the Editor.) SIR,—I regret that I am called upon to disabuse the public mind as to tbe pro priety of using a portion of Albert Park for the purpose of exhibiting W. W. Cole's circus and menagerie. Yet in justice to my manager and in contemplating the interests of thoso citizens in your com munity whose faces we hope to sec iv our audience, I wish to explain the situation, and leave it to the judgment of unbiased minds as to whether it would uot be a social and commercial benefit to the city of Aucklaud, if our " city of tents " could temporally occupy that location. First I wish to state that Mr Cole will conduct his entertainments on the most approved principles, and in this connection 1 may truthfully say that it will be a notable fact of rigid discipline, therefore the pro priety should be no more questioned than the production of an opera at tbe Theatre Royal. It is equally true that there is no otlier site within the city limits of sutlicieut dimensions to accommodate our vast spread of cauvasa, and it requires no great mental exertion to foresee the result of locating elsewhere, as wc have already received overtures from parties iv Parnell and Ponsonby offering to furnish grounds, donate the village license, and extend other courtesies, if we would erectjour tents in those boroughs, and thus turn the tide of the populace in tbat direc tion—a fact which is eminently certain— and to tbe incalculable detriment of the business men of Aucklaud ; as wc have reason to believe—taking our past record as a guarantee-that our exertions and attrac tions will briug a larger iullux of strangers into tbe city than any similar demonstra tion that ever occurred iv this part of the world. Concerning ourintercsts personally, I do not imagine any material difference, inasmuch as the public will fully under stand the necessity of the movement, aud they will not demur at the slight chaugc of locality if we faithfully keep our promise to give them the best show tbat ever visited the colonies or that now exists. Yet I trust that those who have made objections to leasing tbe city grounds will rccou - aider tbe matter, aud consult the interest of their fellow-men as well a3 their own personal views.—l am, Sec, Louis E. cookb, Press Agent, Cole's Great Shows.

LORD BRACKENBURY:

A NOVEL.

By AMELIA B. EDWARDS,

Author of "Barbara's ffislory" "Debar

lunn's Vow," d-v

AVANT-PROPOS.

It is now sonic yeats sittco all England— indeedall Europe— rang with what ctiuio to be universally talked about at that time as "The Mystetious Case of Lord Bracken bury." I stiy vaguely " some years ago," because I will not pain tho present representatives ot a noble family by specifying a precise date. But the affair (bygone though it is, and now almost forgotten) took place at all events within the memory of such as are still comparatively young. What was it that happcuod ? Whero did it happen? "what manner of man was this Lord Brackenbury with whoso name and fame Rumour wiis crowhile so busy ? Patiently to sift tho facts and falsehoods contained in a multitudinous heap of family papers, newspaper reports, und private correspondence ol all kinds ; to separate the true from the uutruo; to put together, as it were, tbe mislaid pieces of a puzzle to which no other lias as yet discovered the koy ; to make things past appear as though they were present; to answer tho (abovo ques tions ;iu short, with such aid of local colour as the story-teller's craft and some acquain tance with the places and events may loud, are the objects which 1 sot before myself in undertaking to work out the following nurra-

CHAPTER 1.

-CKD BKACKENBURY.

A gonti-uinu standing .it the door of the ■ Hotel Poder, over agaiust the Porto Franco of Genoa, paused for a moment at the top of the steps ; looking up and down the noisy street ; glanced at his watch; theu, coining dowu very deliberately, turned towards the Bursa; threaded bis way through the customary crowd of shippers, merchants, aud stockbrokers which there most docs congregate, aud went up the Street of tho Goldworkers. Taken as bullion, there is not much precious metal ou view in the Street of the L'oldworkers ; but us regards display, all the wealth ot Chili and Peru would seem to be set forth iv tbat double row of old fashioned shop-windows glittering with delicate filagree work iv rich dead gold and frosted silver. Though the merest gilt gingerbread of jewellery, the products of this ancient and famous handicraft have for centuries kept their fragile bold upon the affections of the fair Genoese. Not a serving-maid, "contadina," not a fisherman's wile within thirty miles of the city, who does not regard the possession of a filagree cross and a pair of tiliigrce earrings as the pumrnit of woman's felicity. Even among the wealthier classes it is an article of faith to regard this exquisite lubbish as the choicest achievement of the goldsmith's art.

Travellers, as a matter of course, are the select victims ot shopkeepers in the Strada degli urefici. Those smiling pirates, lounging watchfully in their doorway?, batten upon the mauy-dollarcd Antoricnu and scout the British tourist from afar. They all knew tho gentleman from the Hotel Feder. He was spending several weeks in Genoa, and bad passed that \*,ay some scores oi times ere now. Perhaps he had already bought bis pic-destined share ot the gingerbread jewellery, aud, like the rest of ua, had came to the conclusion tbat it was scarcely good enough to give away, and not worth keeping. Ur perhaps he was endowed with superhuman wisdom, and bad steeled his soul against it altogether. Be this as it might, the sboopkeepers, though they formulated the customary " Cosa vtiole, Siguore ?" uttered those magic words iv a tone tbat betrayed small hope of sale.

He looked, nevertheless, like a man who might buy. He was young; well-dressed ; cvideutly not iv a hurry. A mau of perhaps 30, or from that to "32 or 33 years of age; tall, square-shouldered, upright; with regular features, large serious grey eyes ; at bin-lipped, clean shaven-mouth, aud hair and whiskers ot a dull reddiali auburn. His dark grey travelling suit, (new, but not too new) was well made and well put on. His hat was smoothly brushed. His gloves litted. Above all, there was_in his whole look and bearing that quiet, authoritative gravity which be speaks conscious superiority. The pirates knew right well that here wua the sort of lilglese who could buy up their whole stock at one stroke of his pen, if it so pleased him.

Hut it pleased him to Jdo nothing of the kind. It pleased him to stroll very slowly up the Street of the Goldworkcrs ; thence, by certain alleys and by-ways, to make lor the great rambling square iv which stands the Cathedral of Sau Lorenzo, with its quaiut fagade of banded'marbles ; to mount the step pitch leading to the Piazza, Carlo Felice ; and so to pursue his way, by what was iv truth a huge " detour," to the Strada Nuova. He made the detour, however, of set pur pose ; for he had an engagement in the Strada Nuova this morning for 10 a.m., and he had started so early that it still wanted several minutes to the appointed hour. Pacing slowly to and fro while waiting for those minutes to go by, he was too full of his own thoughts to note the sombre splen dour of this noble street in which every house is a palace and every stone is historical. To those heavily-corniced fagades profuse in carven lruits>ud llowers and coats of arms—to those gloomy porticos beyond which, as if set iv frames of ebony or bronze, gleam sunny glimpses of marble courtyards and terraced gardens green with golden-fruited orange-trees —to the play of light and shadow, and the glory of colour, and all those associations that people the beautiful old street with a shadowy pageant of nobles, and merchant-priiicos, and bravo spirits ot olden time who went down to the sea iv ships—to all this, as to the motley throng which shouldered him upon the uarrow footway, he was apparently indifferent.

At length, dropping in one after the other in irregular chorus, the neighbouring clocks gave notice of the hour ; whercupou our Englishman, turning quickly back uDonhis steps, wentinatthc"portecoch6rc"ofahuge prison-like building, about half way along the street. Though the private palazzo of some noble family, the scutcheon and ilag stal! of a certain Eutopeau State on the iirßt-Iloor balcony, and the names of various bankers, wine-merchants, stcam-packct agents and the like, painted on either side of the inner doorway, showi.i that the house was in part let out for business pur poses. _eyond the threshold of this inner door opened a great hall paved with parti coloured marbles, and a magnificent stair case up which a dozen men might well have marched abreast. An enormous oil painting commemorative of some senatorial ceremony of old Rcpublicau days hung, black with age, at the upper end ; while to right and left opened various doors covered with fadod red baize, and adorned, like monster coflin-lids, with brasshcaded nails and inscribed brass plates. An eager-eyed, pallid man sitting on a bench beside one of the baize doorsaforesaid, rose hurriedly as the new comer crossed the hall.

Tbo Englishman nodded. " That's well, Amico," be said. " Wait here till I send for you." And, pushing open the door, he went in.

Beyond this door lay a matted anteroom and an ollice divided off by a screen, above which the heads of some six or eight mustachioed clerk suddenly appeared, and as suddenly vanished.

"Signor"Ricciotto?" aaid the English man interrogatively. Then, noting a whisper among tbe clerks, be added, "I come by appointment." A door in the screen opened, and a bald mau emerged, all bows and " favoriscas."

'• The Signor Ricciotto is in bis private room, awaiting the visit of mi-lord. Will mi-lord be pleased to walk this way ? So 1 —The lobby is somewhat dark—and there is a step yonder." Saying which, the bald clerk, diving for ward, opened yet another, and another door, and announced—

" Mi-lord Brackenbury."

What Mi-lord Brackenbury saw was a room big enough and lofty enough for a lcnturc hall; a painted ceiling all goddesses and arabesques, down the center of which bung three (lusty chandeliers; ancient Venice glass ; a row of ponderous guilt chairs ranged along the walls ; above the chairs a a lilo of full-length family portraits, gentle men in doublets and ruffs, ladies in hoop 3 aud stomachers ; in the middle of the iloor a rug, a writing table and desk, and come three or four leather-bottomed chairs ; and at the upper end of the room an open bureau ladeu with packets of ticd-up letters aud

papers. Two gentlemen seated at opposite sides of the writing-table—the one portly, square

headed, with crisp light hairandamoustache , brushed up a la Rubens ; tbo other slender,' sallow, and all in black—rose when the visitor was announced. The Englishman and the man in black bowed with just so much of recognition as showed them to have met before. The man in black presented the light-haired gentle man as "Signor Ricciotto." Peer and banker exchanged formal F.ilu tations. " 1 trust I have not kept Signor Ricciotto waiting," said Lord Brackenbury, looking round for a clock and seeing none. Signor Ricciotto lifted bis bauds depre catiugly. " Altro—tilli-o 1" he eaid, " Mi-lord is j exactitude itself." To which the man iv black, with a de fereutial smile, added that " punctuality ! was an English virtue." j These preliminary courtesies over, the bunker begged the Signor to bo seated, and the man iv black opened the business of the meeting. " The object of this interview,".he said with a oratorical cough, " is uudcrstood. It needs no introduction." He looked round complacently ; aud then having said it needed uo iutroductiou, pro ceeded to introduce it. "My client, if bis noble Lordship will permit me the honor of so styling him, is hero in the character of a possible purchaser. I jun myself present us the bumble medium between bis Lord aud another noble client, who is willing, to part from certain—ahem ! —property, which his Lordship is willing, en mity on certain conditions bo willing, to acquire. That property, meauwhilo is lodged in tiio safe keeping of the Signori Ricciotto und Da Costa, to whom I have the pleasure to preseut a written ordor from my absent client, authorising them to .permit au in spection of the same." Saying which, the man in black pulled out a big pocket-book, nnd extracted there from n folded paper, which lie presented to the banker. Signor Ricciotto, having glanced throng!! it, pressed the spring of a hand-bell that stood besides his desk. The biild-headcd clerk promptly ap peared. "That coder about which I spoke to you last evening, Giovauclli," said Signor Ric ciotto. Giovanelli vanished. " Always the sunie Giovauclli," remarked the man in black. " The samo Signor Moro,— always trust worthy and trusted," replied the banker; then turning to Lord Brackenbury, "Mi lord bus beeu wintering in Ronio ?" Lord lirackoubury shook bis betid. " No," ho said i "just the reverse, lam moving southward, uud purpose spending Easter in Home. I did not, iv fact, leave England till the beginning of Fobruary." "So lately . Mi-lord is pleased with Genoa '!" "Genoa is ono ot my old loves," Lord Brackenbury replied with a grave smile. "Ah 1 Mi-lord has been here before?" " Many a time. When I kept iiynteh, I often made Genoa my bead-quarters in Mediterranean waters." " I understood thut his Lordship bud even now a yntcb in the harbour?" said Signer Moro interrogatively. "Not a yatch—au old felucca which I bought one day for a mere song, and which I manage myself, sometimes with, and sometimes without, the help of a boy." " Mi-lord is rush to go out tilonc in theso wators," said Siguor Ricciotto. "Ours is a treacherous const, and the buy is apt to be raked by sudden gusts from tho Maritime Alps." Lord Brackenbury smiled the samo grave smile. "lain littlo more than a fide-weather sailor," ho replied; "and if 1 run occa sional risks, I seldom endanger any life but my own. Boating is my apology for idleness." (Continued on fourth, jxige.) \

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' COURT.

(■.cfore His Honor Judge Macdonald.)

UNDEFENDED CASES.

Iv the following cases judgment went for the plaintiffs by default: Williams v. Kirk wood, £5 IDs ; Smart v. Harrison, £-114s 3d; Lnsk v. Camp, £16 -Is lid ; Williams v. Pascoe, £2 18b : National Batik of New Zealand v. aomcrton, £50. JUDGMENT CONI-KSSEII. Carter v. Thompson.—Claim, £6 8s 3d for goods supplied.—ln this case judgment was confessed. 30s was paid into Court, and au order was made for the payment of the balance ut the rate of £1 per month. JUDGMBHT SUMMONS CASE. I'osscuiskic v. Conway.—Claim, £5 10a 9d.—An order was mado for the payment £4 Os 9d in fourteen days, and tlie balance ,in 28 days ; iv default, seven days' impri j Bouiueut. I ADJOURNED CASES. I Brown v. McCarthy.—Claim £-1., wages. 'Mr Tyler lor plaintiff, and Mr S. Hesketh for defendant.—On the application of the defendant the case was adjourned till next Court day, the plaintiff's costs (£3 8a) being paid. Reynolds v. DeLias,— Claim £13 atrears of, salary. —Mr Burton for plaintiff and Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant. Mr Burtou applied for a month's adjournment. Mr Cooper opposed it. His Worship, however, granted it. DEFENDED CASES. Connop v. McClellau. —Mr E. Cooper for plaintiff and Mr Tole for the defendant.— The latter gentleman said that he had made every possible effort to settle the matter, but without avail. His client was willing to pay £4, but no more; but would prefer to leave the matter to the magistrate. —His Worship aaid the caso waa a rather involved oue, and the statements ot plain, tiff and defendant were very contradictory. He could not help thinking "that the success ful party would not forego the pleasuro of rejoicing over the other, and as he did not wish to give either of them such an oppor tunity he would not pronounce a judgment, but would consent to act as arbiter. The litigants having si-*uilied their willingness to accept this course, His Worship decided that the defendant need only pay £3.

Williamson v. Leers.—Claim, £25 12*, amount of a life insurauce policy with the New Zealand Prudential Association.—Mr S. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Tyler for defendant.—David William son, tlie plaintiff, deposed that he was the husband of the late Matilda Williamson, and administrator of her estate. In that capacity he sued to recover the sum ot £25 12s upon an assurance policy on her life. The prescribed payments of fourpence per week were made up till the period of her death.—Mr Tyler objected to the policy, inasmuch as the proposed declaration upon which it was based had not been put in. The proposal aud policy he submitted were inseparable. After some argument the case was allowed to proceed.—The witness went on to say that after his wife's death lie applied for payment of the money named in the policy. They refused to pay debts on the ground that the declaration was different from the certificate of death. —Mr Tyler : Our contention is that the declaration is false.—Cross-examined by Mr Tyler : His wife died after a ten days' illness. About four or five months previously she had also been ill. It wa3 not true that she had been continuously ill for the 2_- years prior to her death. The certificate of death as drawn out by Dr. Wine was then produced.— It stated amongst other things that the duration of the deceased woman's last ill ness had been 2^ years. In explanation of this the witness stated that that information had been put in under a misapprehension. The doctor asked him the duration of the illness, and his reply was that up till 2A years previously she had not suffered a day's ill-health.—This was the plaintiff's case.— Dr. Philson was then called. He deposed that on the Oth ot May, 1878, a woman named Matilda Williamson was admitted to the Hospital, and that she was discharged ! on the 27th of the same month. She I was suffering from aneurism of the | aorta—a tumour or swelling of the great artery leading from the heart. It was a , disease which gradually became worse, and eventually terminated by the bursting of the I artery. It was incurable, and it was im- : possible for a person suffering from it to be in good health. —Cross-examined : He told I her at the time of what she was suffering and that she would die from it—that the most they could do for her would be to palliate her sufferings.—Dr Wine gave cor roborative evidence. He stated also that at the time of the policy being effected, viz., May, 1579, the woman must have been con scious of the nature of her disease.—Mar garet Scott, who nursed Mrs Williamson, during a portion of her illness, also gave evi dence?— Henry Mnnsell,formerly a canvasser for the defendant Company, deposed that he tilled out the proposal for the policy on be haff of the deceased, and that sho made the answers contained in it to the printed questions—one of them being— "Are you in good health ?—Yes." Some of the questions were dispensed with in crises of small amounts. That was in obedience to the orders of the Manager (Mr Mackune).—Frederick Wright, now a trustee of the society, but formerly the chairman of the managing committee, de posed that the policy was issued upon the strength of the statements made in the pro posal. It would not have been issued had it been known that the woman was suffer ing from the disease described by the doc tors that day.—Judgment was given for the defendant with £10 6's costs.
