Leeston felt the tax harshly, he was glad, under the circurustauces, that this was the casi. Under the land tax, those who had lent money on mortgage were not touched, but by the property tax they had to pay their share. (Applause.) FINANCIAL EETKENCnMBNT. lie was not going to anticipate the Colo nial Treasurer's Statement, which would lis made in a few clays, yet, although there was a great gap betwoen the estimated Ireceipts and expenditure, he did not think the pros pects were now so gloomy as had been anti cipated, and by strict economy they would at nod istant date beinasound financial position. Now, about reductions which have been promised by the Governmont as soon as posiible, consistent with the efficiency of the public service. On the railways, the saving on train mileage for the pre'-ent year had been £21,000 ; staff reductions, £7,000 ; by the use of native coal, £8,503 : total, £36 503, meaning an increase of 17 per cent on the net revenue, and of nearly a-lialf per cent on the whole of the cost of construc tion. Further reductions were also in progress, so they would sec that the Minister for "Public Works had kept his word. With regard to the Post and Telegraph serrice under his (Mr Hall's) supervision, he had been able to effect a small saving by doing away with some unnecessary postal services but, if so many of the Post and Telegraph offices as did not pay their; cost were to be done away wilh there would be great public outcry. Through the action of Sir J. Vogel at home on the inscription of New Zealand stock, a considerable saving would be effected to the colony. Arrange ments had been made which would spread the loan expenditure over threeyears,duriiig which time they were bound not to again go on the London market. They had had a remarkable speech about savings that might have been effected by the Govern ment. The speech was of that virtuous political gentleman, Mr Montgomery ; but that gentleman, virtuous as he was, could, when it suited him, roll _ log as neatly as any gentleman of his (Mr Hall's) acquain tance. (Laughter.) An instance of this was shown when Mr Montgomery found that a new post-office was required at Aka roa.

THE NATIVE DEPARTMENT.

Mr Hall then referred to the Native Department, and after showing that tho Natives had been pampered by feeding and otherwise, he said that, while keeping watch over them, the Government were leaving them alone, and by transferring gradually the money of the department to the Lands and Justice Departments, the Government hoped eventually to improve the Native Department, as it at present existed oIT the face of the earth. (Cheers.) Now he would tell them something of the reductions effected by the present Govern ment. Tho savings in a number of ollices, and pensioners dispensed with, had been 117, besides a number of vacancies not filled up. The number of officers whose salaries had been reduced was 76. The amount of the Native vote for salaries in 1879-S0 was £15,164, which had been re duced by £6527, or about 43 per cent. Tho savings on the Civil list havo been £1276. With regard to the contingent expenditure, which was completely under the coutrol of the Native Minister; during the last fifteen months the amount voted for this expendi ture was £2600 but would they think that the actual expenditure was £18,000, aud contingencies? If the native lands pur chased were included, the amount would be £30,000, and heavy accounts were still coming. He would mention one little circumstance to show the Native contingent expenditure. A short time since an account was received from an Auckland jeweller for polishing two pieces of greenstone for a Maori chief. The amount which would bo required in future for this department would not exceed £3,000. The amount actually allowed and incmred during the present Administration would not exceed £4,250. The staff of the Land Purchase Department has been reduced from £10,030 to £4,705. THE WAIMATE PLAINS. They hoard a good deal of the Waimatc riains difficulty. Many promises made to the Maoris had not been carried out, and the Maoris Jvvere allowed to settle unmo lested on disputed lauds, and by these means difficulties had arisen. Government had obtained the services of two able gentle men aa Commissioners to inquire into the grievances of the Nativcs,and finding a lot of meninbarracks'at Wellington, who were cost ing as much money as they would in camp, the Government had moved them to the land where they had been engaged making a road which would open up 110,000 acres of forest and splendid wheat-growing land ; but not at the ridiculous cost of £600 per day, which they had heard of. The Government had obtained this success without resorting to bloodshed, and he was sure this policy met with the approval of the whole colony. (Applause.) Te Whiti, who was an ex ceedingly clever man, finding the road being formed would be carried out, now stated that he had never said it would not meet. LAND SETTLEMENT. With regard to the acquirement of Crown lands, greater facilities were now given for this purpose than ever before, aud Mr Rolleston had been engaged in going over the whole country to fiud where these lands would be best available for settlement. He would not trouble them with a long list of figures, but would tell them that, at the present time, there wero 71,370 acres of Crown lands available for settlement on deferred payment. (Applause.) THE DISTRICT RAILWAYS. He would now refer to another matter, Of which a great deal had been made—he meant the action of the Government with regard to district railways. Some of these lines had been started under the District Rail ways Act, and the times of depression that followed brought those works to a standstill, to the injury of large and impor tant districts. Authority had been given to Government, at their request, to guarantee the cost of construction. They had heard that the result of this would be a charge of hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Colony. The fact was, that if Govern nient had been called on to act up to the whole ot their authority, the amount could not have exceeded £150,000. It was not likely to exceed £60,000, or, at most, £100,000, and up to the present time had been acted upon ouly to the .mount of £40,000, and this amount even tually, when the districts were opened, would not be one penny of charge to the colony. PROPOSED LEGISLATION. The Governmont liave been taunted with appointing so many Commissioners, but the Government wero satisfied to abide by the result. Many of the friends of the Govern ment were members of these Commissions, but if they had all been taken from the Opposition, they would have been similarly taunted.

During next session Government pro posed introducing bills for the amendment of the Electoral Reform Bills whicli have been passed last session. A bill would also be passed for the redistribution of seats, because the present Bill became unfair through the growth of population. The Government proposed to sweep away existing legislation. With regard to the Native Laud question, they would introduce a Bill for the amendment of the Native Lands Court, and another for the alienation and purchase of native lands, which would be introduced as soon as possible after Parliament met. He would show them something about the injudiciousness of the land purchase by the previous Government. In Auckland, from 1874 to 1879, 1,153,638 acres had been handed over, and only 671 acres sold ; in Taranaki, 122,219 acres had been handed over, and 52,331 sold ; in Ilawke's Bay, 132,000 had been handed over, and 2C.000 sold; in Wellington, 138,300 had been handed over, and 42,000 sold. A large quautity of the land purchased was worth less. A rew Licensing Law would also be btought in, which, while it would not treat tho holders of publicans' licenses as criminals, would enable the ratepayers of a district to veto a license on payment of fair compensation, which the Government pould not see their way in fairness to get rid of. Bills for maintenance of hospitals and charitable aid would also be introduced. Acts would be introduced for the consolida tion of sixty of the present statutes on important subjects. They had hoard there was to he a compact and organised opposition. He hoped there would exist such an opposition, which was a most useful body ta keep a check on Government. He trusted there would not exist an Opposition which would not lose much valuable time in desultory discussion.

ELECTED GOVERNORS.

They had been told that Sir George Grey would sound the key note of the Opposition, and he had done so by advocating the election of the Governor. This he (Mr Hall) would resist to the utmost, as they could not expect any gentleman to occupy an unbiassed position who had been placed in that position by a party. He (Mr Hall) would never for one moment support a proposition that would end in severance from the mother country, and estab lishment of a petty Republic, and while he lived he should use his utmost endeavours to live and die under the Hag which he had been born under. (Loud applause). If they preferred a Government which did not go round the country neglecting the state of the finances of the colony while talking of visionary remedies, but a Government which would use their best endeavours to place the colony ova

sound financial basis, he Would ask their confidence and support, and that of the people generally for those who were asso ciated with him iv carrying on the present Government. He desiied to apologise for having addressed them at such length, and thanked them sincerely for the patience with which they had listened to him. Mr Hall resumed his seat amid loud and continued applause. OTHER LEGISLATION. Among several questions auswered by him he said Government had a Bill prepared which provided for making the dog tax uniform throughout the colony. Govern ment had also a Bill under consideration on the question of amending the present Bank ruptcy law, but did not say whether it could be introduced during the coming session of Parliament. As to a person being fined £5 for takimr a traction engine over the Ashburton bridge, he would make in juries into the matter, and if he found there was no reasonable objection to engines of this kind crossing over railway bridges, he would give instructions which would prevent a recurrence of the'complaint made. Origi nally it was supposed that the property tax would produce £400,003, but reductions and alterations had been made in the Act which would reduce the amount by one or two hundred thousand pounds. The amount which had be.m put on the estimates for the improvement of the Grey harbour would if expended, be carrying out a very useful work of great benefit to the colony. The following vote of thanks was passed amid loud cheering, " That the Hon. John Hall be accorded a hearty vote of thanks, and their continued confidence as member of the Selwyn district, for his able and bril liant address this evening."

SUNDAY SCHOOL CENTENARY.

The Ministers of the several Auckland Congregations, and laymen met yesterday afternoon, at the Youug Men's Booms, Wellesley street, for the purpose of making arrangements for proposed centenary festi val. Present :—Archdeacon Maunsell (in the chuir). Itevs. Bates, Biggs, Bree, Bruce, Buddie, Dudley, Glasson, Gould, Law, Long, Macnicol, Morley, Mulgan, Nelson, Pritt, Kobertsou, Messrs. Kwington and Hamilton. A number of resolutions wore passed at the meeting, fixing the dates of the centenary celebration for the various schools.

AUCKLAND SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The fortnightly meeting of the Auckland School Committee was held last evening in the Nelson-street school-room. There were present:—Messrs W. Gorrie (chairman) C. Wright, C, MeMaster, J. D. Schmidt, T. Thwaites, F. Hewin, aud C. Andrews, who arrived some time after tho business had been commenced.

School Cleaner.— The Secretary (Mr O. Mahon) announced the engagement of a woman to clean the Wellesley-street school at the rate of £2 10s per month. Teachers' Communications.—A num ber of letters were received from Mr Worthiugtou (Wellesley-street school) Mr Harrison (Berosford-street school) and Mr Brabazon (Nelson-street school) on various matters of small import. The temporary abscuce from duty ot several teachers on account of colds, indisposition, etc., was reported, the want of a sound padlock for one of the gates of the Wollcsloy-street school notified, and. the advisability of supplying lireiron.s, fenders, and coalboxcs to the same school called attention to. It was resolved to recommend tho Board to supply the fircirons, fenders, and coalboxcs, while the Committee undertook to furnish water bottles, glasses, drinking cups, as well as firewood aud coal, bo sides ordering a new padlock. A letter was received from Mr Brabazon, explaining, in answer to a communication from the Committee, that at the time he received iota his school two girls over the school age he was unaware that he had on the roll the full number of names allowed by the regulations. The Board and the Committee.— The Secretary of the Education Board wrote reporting a vacancy in the post of second assistant teacher in tho Wellesley street school, and stating the Board's in tention to transfer Mr Pyeroft from the Nelson-street school to fill the position, and that Mr Comptou should succeed him, The proposed changes were approved of.— The Secretary of the Board of Education alio wrote announcing a compliance with the Committee's recommendation to graut Miss Carr a month's leave of absence, ,and hot to declare any wiutcr holidays this year; but declining' to pay for the water alleged to have been wasted or used by the contractor of the Nelson-street school. Tho Board also declined to pay for the repairs to some urinals. A further letter requested that the Board might be furnished with a statement of the school receipts and expen diture.—lt was agreed to supply the desired information.— Mr Worthiugtou notified his intention to change the afternoon school hours during the winter months from 2 till 4 to 1.30 till 3.30.—'1 he head teacher of the High-street school forwarded a somewhat similar announcement.—The changes were approved. Over Age Pupils.—The question of permitting a number of children who were over the school age (viz., 15 years) to con tinue in attcudauce, having been adjourned from the last meeting, again came up for discussion. Mr Brabazon furnished a list of si_ pupils who were over the specified age, and several names were received from one or two ot the other masters. Letters wore also read from the parents of four of the children requesting permission for their continued attendance at school. —Mr Schmidt moved, " That the four children over age who are in attend ance at school at present be allowed to con tinue to attend for twelve months longer, provided that their presence does not ex clude the admission of children who are within the school age."—Mr Thwaites seconded the proposition, upon being assured that the education of the children under notice was defective.—Mr Hewin proposed, and Mr Andrews seconded, " That each case be considered separ ately."—The amendment was carried. After a lengthy and animated discussion it was agreed to permit Annie Hewlett, Win. Shove, Bruce Sherlock, Emma Fielder, and the Misses Cailliau, to remain in attendance at school, provided their presence did not exclude children within the school age. A letter was received from Mr James -Slater, enquiring why his daughter had been refused admission to the Wellesley-street school, for although she was over age, he believed that there was plenty of room for more children. A warm and rather irregular discussion ensued, in the course of which it was stated that while there was only room for 100 additional children in the Wellesley-street school, the Bcresford street school could accommodate fully 300 more. It was also contended by some of the speakers that Miss Slater was already well educated, and that therefore it was no hardship to deny her admission to the school.—Mr Hewin complained that Mr MeMaster liad apparently obtained infor mation which he himself had not. He thought all letters on the subject should be read.—The Chairman said that Mr Hewin had only himself to blame for deficient in formation. If he had been punctual in his attendance he would have heard all the correspondence read. — Mr Hewin per sisted in his complaint, and having been ruled oui ot order for several remarks, he next asserted that some members of the Committee had been cauvassid by tho applicants.—The Chairman again ruled the gentleman out of order. It was then pro posed and seconded that the former re solution of the Board with regard to Miss Slater should be adhered to.—An amend ment win proposed to the cil'ect that the girl should be admitted on the same terms as other over age pupils had been.—On the motion being lost, Mr Hewin characterised the proceeding as " disreputable."— The Chairman at once interposed.-, He could not tolerate such remarks, and he was surprised at Mr Hewin's persistency in making them. Mr Thwaites proposed as a further amendment "That the considera tion of the matter be deferred, and that in the meantime advertisements should be inserted in the newspapers, announcing that there was room for many additional children at the city schools."—Mr Hewin believed the whole matter had been carefully arranged beforehand.—The Chairman once more ruled the speaker out of order.— The amendment on being put to the meeting was lost and the motion was carried.—lt was then decided to reconsider an applica tion which had been refused, for the admis sion of a Miss Johnston.—The committee agreed to grant the request, and also Mr Machattie's application that his daughter might be 'allowed to continue at tho Beresford-street school.

Visitation of Schools. — On the motion of Mr Andrews it was agreed that two members of the committee should be deputed each mouth to pay a visit of inspec tion to the city schools.

The Compulsory Clause?.—Mr Hewin proposed, " That with the view of enforcing the compulsory clauses of the Act, tlic Board of Education be respectfully re quested to grant a yearly sum of £80 to wards the salary of a man to be employed for the purpose."—The proposition was seconded, and agreed to nem con.—Several accounts were passed for payment, and ar rangements made for the periodical cleaning of the schools.

This was all the business,

The Waimate Camp

(FROM OUK OWN CO-RESPONDENT.)

OPUNAKE, this day. The camp at Opua is deserted, and the men are on their way to. the site of the new camp at Tckcti's, inland of Whitiora. The men march along the proposed line of road and through the bush, whilst the baggage is sGiit round by the beach road. _ The new camp is considerably off the point reached in the formation ot the road, hence the necessity of sending the baggage. The camp at Ngakumikumi will shortly be shifted south to a new site inland of Wai taha. It is thought this will bring the two camps to within five miles of each other.

FIRE IN QUEEN-STREET.

1 This morning about half-past one o'clock, the city fire-bells sounded an alarm of fire, but for some time the locality was not dis covered. Superintendent Hughes and his Brigade, however, were speedily at the shop of Mr Ford, tailor, where it had broken out, and by their united efforts the fire was extinguished before damage to any extent was done. Mr Waterman, the pro prietor of the boarding-house next to Mr Montague's, first noticed a bright light at the back part of Mr Ford's house, and im mediately informed Constable Itist, who called the assistance of Constable Tatten, an 1 together they forced open the front door of the shop, intending to extinguish it in the usual way. Finding that the fire was in the b-Ck part of the house, they waited upoa Captain Butler of the Salvage Corps, and Supcdntcndent Hughes of the Fire Brigade, who were successful in their efforts. On seeking the cause of the alarm, they found that the back partition of the front shop adjoins a fireplace, but which was covered with boards, and in this room, the tailors were in thehabit of heating their irons. There had been no fire in the room, but Mr W. P. Ford had been working until near ten o'clock, and the '.rons had been heated by blowing the charcoal; and when he had finished, he placed them in the fireplace for safety. A box of charcoal was in the room, and Mr Ford's opinion is that a spark from the jiron-hceting process must have com municated with the charcoal, and subse qitentlyiguited. The damage fortunately was trilling, and may be repaired at small cost. The police, under control of Sub-Inspec tor Pardy were promptly in attendance, and succeeded in keeping the people at a proper distance. Mr Ford was insured, but be lieves his policy has run out. The house belongs to Mr Somcrvillc, of Wellington street. Mr Hughes, aud the Brigade, as well as Captain Butler and his corps, and the police; deserve credit for their prompt and decisive action on this as on all other occasions.

NORTH AUCKLAND CATTLEBOARD.

A meeting of the North Auckland Cattle Board was held this morning at the ollice of the Inspector of cattle. Present Mossrs J. May, in the chair, and J. Wallace. A telegram was read from the Govern ment stating that a special regulation had been made prohibiting any cattle from being removed into any Cattle District to the south of the South Auckland Cattle District. PLEUROPNEUMONIA AT PANMURE. Mr Lewis forwarded a report by Mr Nathan, with tho following memo from himself. J. May, Esq., Chairman of the isortli Auckland Cattle Board, Auckland, 21st May, 1S8(). On Monday and Tuesday last, with the approval of your Board I accompanied Mr Naden, M.R.C.V.S. U, in a tour of inspec tion, when we examined several small lots of cattle that are upon the "infected places" and elsewhere in this district. The result of the examination is dotailed in a communica tion from Mr Naden, which I beg to for ward herewith. Permit me to invito your attention to the caso of the yearling heifer at Messrs Irelands, which is noticed in Mr Nadcn's report; your Board will probably consider it to bo a caso iv which it would b. 1 expedient to slaughter the animal. Signed, P. C. LEWIS.

Mr Naden's Report.—The following report from Nr Naden was read :—" Auck land, 20th May, 1880. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you for the iufonna,. tion of the North Auckland (Jattlc Board that on Monday last, May 17, I examined a number of cattle in tho neighbourhood of Fanmurc; many of Uiern are suffering from debility. I care fully examined Messrs Ireland's cattle at .Panmure. Several of them are suffering from epizootic pleuro-pncumonia in a chronic form. A yearling heifer I particularly noticed. Some cows at Green Lane, the pro perty of Mr John Smith, were also examined. Some of these cows have the same disease in the same form as Messrs. Ireland's, one coh showing it more thin others. I looked at some cattle belonging to Mr Glow near to Messrs Irelands. They wero in excellent condition, and appeared to he perfectly healthy. May 18th I examined Mr Paul's cattle at Maugarci hut failed to detect any disease. Also examined Mr Fin uerty's cattle at Otahuhu, aud several of them show symptoms of lung disease in chronic foim.—l have, &c, (signed) G. Nadkn, M. R.C. V.S. L. F. G. Lewi3, Esq., Chief Inspector of Cattle. The Hoard discussed the question of ordering that the heifer be slaughtered which is reported by Mr Naden to be suflcring from chronic pleuro-pueumouia, but decided to postpone a decision for a fuller meeting of the Board.

MR MACKECHNIE'S LECTURE ON EDGAR ALLAN POE.

The third of a series of popular lectures on literary, historical, and scientific subjects was given last evening at the Auckland Institute, by E. A Mackcchnio, Esq., the subject, " Edgar Allan Poe : a study in Morbid Psychology." The audience, if not large, was very select. Dr. Purchas, President of the Institute, occupied the chair and made a few remarks by way of introduction. He said it was not generally known that ladies were not only admitted to their lectures and meetings, but to the right of full membership At the last meetiug of the Council the first lady member was formally admitted, and he anticipated the pleasure of admitting other ladies as mem bers at subsequent meetings of the Council. When it became generally know that ladies were eligible for membership he anticipated a considerable increase in the members of the Institute, and a corresponding accession to its funds. He hoped soon to see the Institute one of the must popular of City Institutions. He then called upon Mr Mackechnte to deliver his promised lecture which, he felt sure, would prove of much iuterest to all present. Mr Mackeclinie was greeted with ap plause on rising, and having spoken upon the unhappiness and misfortunes of the poets of the past, with especial reference to Poe's career, proceeded to sketch the few incidents of his life. The lecture was written, evidenced careful research, and, although a melancholy tone of thought pervaded the whole, it was a fair criticism of the self-degraded, self-accusing poet. The lecturer endeavoured to give a reason able estimate of Poc, presenting him as he was—drunken, melancholy, ungrateful, mad. The lecturer investigated the cause of the strange contradictious in his nature, aud considered, as Poc himself believed, that he possessed a diseased meutal organisation, transmitted from his parents. Several highly fiuished pictures of Poe were presented, one showing the gentlemanly form, sober, in his cottage home; and the other, the wild inebriate in the tavern and wallowing in the mire of intemperance. Several quotations from the "Raven" and other of his smaller poems were given in illustration of his state of mind in diH'crent circumstances, and the last scene of all that " closed his strange eventful history," was depicted with dra matic power and impressive tenderness. The life of Poe was indeed strange, freighted with a heavy load of tearful mem ories and vain regrets. There is nothing commendable in the character, and very little in the writings of this extravagant son of the muses. His " Haven" will live long after his horrible talcs of mystery and imagination are forgotteu. lie was dreamy and morbid, delighting only in the weird and mysterious, the sad and the gloomy. He gloated like a ghoul over the hideous and the horrible wandering by the "glimpses of the moon" among the tombs of despair and death, yet breaking the silence ever and anon with some wild melody full of strange music, yet cold and heartless withal. There is nothing 'in all his writings calculated to elevate aud move the soul to noble action, and hi 3 tales so horrible cannot be read either with ploasure or profit. The reader of his tales, if not affrighted at the terrible unrealities depicted, leaves them with a sense of sadness, like waking from a fearful dream, no ray of brightness breaking through the cloud, and such in great part was Poe's life.

Rev. S. Edger, in proposing a vote of thauks to the lecturer, did not agree with the opinion suggested rather than definitely expressed, that man was the creature of fate. He believed that had Poe battled early iv life against his craving for stimu lants he might have succeeded. The lecture was very interesting, and Mr Mac kechnie deserved the thanks of the audi ence. The motion was seconded by Dr. Purchas and carried unanimously.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

DRUNKARDS,

No less than eighteen persons were charged with drunkenness this morning, and dealt with in the usual way.

BLI-A. AGAIN,

Eliza Rice was brought up on a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Constable Kennedy arrested tho prisoner in a sad plight. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Fined 10s and costs. HE WOULD HAVE HIS BEER. Alfred Miriin was charged with assault-1 ing a Constable in an hotel in Hobson street; Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The constable described the outrage. Prisoner was diunk in Mr Evans'hotel, and because \be was refused drink he swore he would have it in spite of all the po'ice in Auckland. Prisoner struck him violently on the face, and subsequently assaulted him in Queen-street on the way to the police station. Pined 20s for drunkenness and £3 for striking the constable, or one month's imprisonment with hard labour. ALLEOED LARCENY. Thomas Lawless was charged with the larceny of £6 12s, at Whangarei, on the 20th inst., tlie moneys of Win. Fowler, on board the Argyle. Sub-Inspecter Pardy asked for a remand until to-morrow, in order to have the appear ance of three witnesses..

Remanded accordingly.

BREACH OF RAILWAY REGULATIONS. James Johnstone pleaded guilty to a charge of getting into a carriage on the Auckland railway while the train was in motion.

George Elliot, in the service of the depart ment, said the defendant jumped on to the step of an Onehunga carriage while in motion, and had witness not caught him, he would have fallen below.

Defendant said ho was sorry, but his wife had got into the wrong train aud he was anxious to get her out. His Worship suggested that in England the carriages on railways were ticketed with the names of the stations, which pre vented mistakes of this kind. Under the circumstances he should impose but a light penalty, 5s costs lis.

BREACH OF LICKNSINO ACT. Hugh Robert Jones, was charged with a breach of this Act by supplying alcoholic liquor on Sunday, the 16th at his hotel, the Army and Navy. Mr Tyler appeared in defence aud pleaded guilty, Mr Jones was away at the Thames, and his barman, who was left in charge, supplied a pint of beer to a friend. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the statement Was correct, and the bar-man immediately acknowledged that he had done so.

Eiucd 20s and costs, lis.

A WATERMAN'S REFUSAL.

Henry Kcanc, licensed waterman, was charged with refusing to ply his boat for the convenience of Mr Ilonry Chamberlain on the 27th ult.

Mr T. Cooper appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr Tyler in defence. Tho charge was brought under the Har bour licgulations. The several poiuts in the case were argued at length by Counsel, Mr Tyler stating that the information must fail, tho defendant did not rofuse to comply with complainant's request, but objected to Mr Chamberlain's mode of fixing tho faro.

His Worship looked into tho matters in connection with the by-laws, aud con sidered that watermen were frequently sub jected to hardships, aud as no evideucc would be called he must dismiss the case.

Mr Tyler asked for costs, His Worship said he would certainly allow costs, £4.

STITALING LOCKS,

John Dillon was again brought up on a charge of stealing a tin box, and two gun locks, value 20s. The particulars of the case have already appeared. Prisoner pleaded guilty aud was sen tenced to four monthi' imprisonment with hard labour. CHAKCIK OF FOR-ING AND UTT-KlfiG. Frederick Orrcn was charged with forging and uttering a cheque for £7 on the Union Bank of Australia, purporting to be signed by Messrs Keane and Jenkinson, on the 19th inst., with intent to defraud. demanded until Wednesday next, the 26th iust. ANOTHER CASE. Henry Whitaker Duval, on remand, again appeared on a chargo of forging and uttering cheques with intent to defraud. A portion of the evidence in this case has already appeared in the STAB, The prisoner represented himself as a mining agent, and presented a cheque for £2, to Mrs Cosgravc at the Old House at Home, j aud received the change. On presenting it at the National Hank, it was found to be valueless, as there was no account to a per . son signing as H. O. Wilson. A second charge was preferred against prisoner, viz., uttering a forged cheque with intent to defraud Charles Curtis, of the Pacific Hotel, Thames. Charles Curtis deposed that prisoner occupied apartments at his hotel from the 20 April until-the first week in May, he gave the name of Duval, during that time -witness received three cheques from the prisoner, saw him write them, (produced). Itobcrt Woodhouse, clerk in the National Bank gave evidence to the eil'ect that the cheques were presented and payment re fused, there bciug no account in the r-anic of H. Whitaker Wilson.

Sub-Inspector Pardy said these were not the only cheques of prisoner's that had been dishonoured, which had come under his notice, drawn on hanks at Ashburton aud Wellington. Prisoner complained that this was not fair to him, as he had paid money on those cheques, and he intended to have paid Mr Curtis. His Worship said he might have taken this promise to pay Mr Curtis, had he (pris oner) an account at the bank, but as he had not such an account, it was clearly a fraud.

Prisoner was sentenced to six weeks im prisonment for defrauding Mr Curtis of 20s, to which he pleaded guilty, and in the former case for forging and utrcring, he was fully committed for trial. DESERTEDjCHILD. Charles Mcßride was charged with being a deserted child within the meaning of the act.

Sub-Inspector Pardy said the boy was found iv the street last night, and told Con stable Tatton a pitiful talc, saying he had nothing all day, his father and mother were dead, aud that he came from Cabbage Tree Swamp, but he had reason to doubt the boy's tale.

Kemanded until to-morrow in order that enquiries might be made. This was all the business.

AUCKLAND COFFEE.

(To the Editor.)

Sip,—The Star having exposed the adul teration of milk by the poor milk sellers of Auckland will not, I trust, refuse to expose the adulteration of coffee practised by the rich Auckland merchants, I have now before me a lib tin of cott'ec, for which I paid 2s in the village of Raglan. It bears the highest brand of a large Aucklaud (inn. The firm " guarantee that the contents of this tin consist ouly of pure colfee of the finest quality and a very small quantity of pure chicory." The tin also bears a certificate dated from the Provincial Laboratory by the Government Analyst, that he finds it " a first-class article con taining pure collee mixed with a proper pro portion of chicory." Now I, the consumer, do hereby declare that the mixture consists of chicory with a very small quantity of coffee, and I am qualified to give an opinion, having for some years lived in coffee-grow ing countries. The price of good coffee is from £4 to £5 per cwt, so that pure pre pared coffee might well be sold for 2a per lb. I may add that I have tested in the most practical manner the coffee prepared by three Aucklaud firms, and in each case found the stuff sold to be a mixture of chicory with a small addiliou of coffee. Whatever firm shall advertise in the Star pure coffee without auy mixture, shall have for a customer a country subscriber to the Star, and a judge of Pure Coffjje, 1 Raglan.
