THE NEW PIECE AT THE THEATRE.

"LOST AND WON," produced at tho Theatre on Saturday oveuing, is neither mold-drama, „,.,,ir.dv nor farce, but a combination of all com*'I*./ .... i three, with the farcical clement prcdoiuin.. foil The piece has mauy good poiuts, hut. scarcely anticipate for it a success equal to that obtained by " Tried aud True." Iv first place, tho incident on which Mr _f«__da has founded the plot. is scarcely ____ enough to support three long acts. *i,e whole story could-be easily told in one, r at most two acts, and it wtould gaiu, rather than lose, by the condensation Be __s this.the principal denoue_ent,tb.ough Fw-Hvp enough, strikes one as strangely .Sural Tfo'brothers George and Tom w their father's adopted daughter, Ruth So rel She returns the affection of Tom ; ? * __miM_ (Joorge, who has made her un- JSSSSS g On Christma, ilight Tom sends his fiancee a bracelet, which she is to wear if she really loves him.

Why they should think so we cannot conceive I No sane person would believe a girl had stolen n'hraceletwliich she wore thus conspicuously on her arm i" the owner's presence ! The Dlav also sliders seriously from the poverty of the scenery, and the want of illusion in the second act. There was a grand oppor tunity here for a really good net; and, cori- Biderin" the success of the sensation scenes in " Tried and Trite," wo can't think why it wasn't taken advantage of. Nothing could have been more ollective than a moonlit snow scene, with the houso at one Bide and tho wnr.n firelight: shining through tho windows. The audience oufhtT to have been able to see through into tho captain's study, and Ito have observed George breaking opci the cash box whilst Flinders and Dorinda were making love in snow outside. Even as it is a little lime-light and a few scraps of falling paper would make a lot of difference, aud thoso gaping windows should bo shut at once. People do not r-1 a rule leave their French sashes wide open on a bitter winter's night. And, now, having pointed out the defects of " Lost aud Won," lot us turn to the pleasanter task of analysing the merits of the piece. Mr Reyno'ds may be con gratulated on his dialogue. It is crisp, lively and to the point. The love-making scenes, too, are cleverly conceived, and excited well-deserved applause. Altogether, "Lost and Won" is a play which, condensed and well mounted, would prove agenuiue success. Mr Reynolds, we should imagine, could writo a very fair comedy of the Eobertsonian type. The acting in " Lost aud Won " is pretty good. Mr Reynolds himself appears as a happy go-lucky adventurer yclept Frank Fliuders. The part does not call for a great deal of acting, but every possible point is made, and the love scenes with Miss Hudson (who, by tho way, played capitally) evoked shouts of laughter. Mr Steele and Mr O'Brien should change characters. For the former gentleman, who (notwithstanding a hideously unbecoming blonde wig) looks eight and thirty if a day, to bo the younger brother of Mr O'Brien, who is a good-look ing juvenile apparently about three and twenty, seems absurd. Besides, Mr Steele would be seen to greater advantage as the revengeful elder brother than ho is as a somewhat elephantine lover. The author has put a number of romantic speeches and scraps of poetry into Tom's mouth, and these are clearly not much in Mr Steele's line. His " spoonkig," to speak frankly, lacks tenderness. This is the more to be regretted, as Miss Wilton, who is making rapid strides in her profession, acts charmingly. We have never seen the lady to greater advantage, and congratulate her heartily on achieving a bona fide success. Miss Hudson also deserves veTy favourable mention. What an excellent Widow War ren she would make in tho "Road to Ruin." The miuor parts were satisfac torily filled by Mr Alio Thompson, Mr Haygarth, and Miss Hathaway. Mr Thompson is always careful and pains taking, and Mr _aygarth,a<f usual, p.ovoked constant laughter. Miss Hathaway made tho most of a poor part. • Now there is such a good all-round company ;at '• the theatre, it would be a capital idea to pro duce one or two of the famous old comedies which have recently enjoyed such long runs in London. Holcroft's " Road to Ruin'" aud Farquhar's " Beaux Stratagem" are neither of them known in Auckland, and though brilliantly witty, do not require any elaborate scenery or mounting. We iirmly believe either of them would run for a fort night if judiciously'cast. Max. ,

ST. JAMES' IMPROVEMENT ASSO CIATION.

The half-sessional syllabus of business for the four months ending November Ist noxt will be issued to the members of St. James' Association to-night. It is both varied and attractive, while some of tho items Will as suredly engage the special interest of a large portion of the community. Incursions' are to be made into many distinct domains of science and art, and, undeterred by the failure of past inquiries,, some rather, ab. st.ruse subjects are to be approached and' re viewed. Social and political questions of grave and pressing importance are to be ventilated by means of three debates, the statement of which we here sub join:—(l) "Does the present system of land tennre in Ireland tend to the degra dation of the Irish people?" Affirmative, Mr J. D. Schmidt; negative, Mr A. J. Entrickan. (2) "Is the decentralisation of legislative power in New Zealand necesaary for the future welfare of that colony ?" Affirmative, Mr W. J. Napier; negative, Mr E. Cooper. (3) "Are early;marriages conducive to individual and national pros perity?" Affirmative, Mr J. Crawford; negative, Mr P. Oliphant. Tho gentler sex, for whom this matter may be said to have a peculiar concern, will be interested to learn that the advantage of early marriage is to be delineated'by a Benedict, while his opponent is attached to bis condition of single blessedness. The delicate scalpel of literary criticism is to be handled in turn by Mr C. A. Stevens, who delivers a lecture on " King Lear," by Mr J. L. Kinsella, who lectures on "Dean Swift," and by Mr J. M. Geddis, who has promised an essay on "Shakespear'sMacbeth," while as a com panion paper to this latter inquiry Mr W. Cooper has undertaken topourtray "Tho Macbeth of History." The field of history will be entered upon by Messrs E. W. Barton, who gives an essay on "Our Ancestors^ Caesar found them;" by Mr H. S. F. Peltzer, who will lecture on " The Paris Insurrection of 1871—-its origin and aim ;" by Mr E. West, who has'elected to rehearse the exploits and scan the character of "Alfred the Great," while scriptural biography will receive attention from Messrs J. M. Geddis and W. Cooper, whose names figure on the programme for essays on "David the Shepherd" and " David the King " respectively. Coming nearer home, the doings of our civic fathers are to paßs under roview, for Mr C. Mc- Master is impressed with the conviction that they are deserving of censure for their neglect of the sanitary requirements of the city, but Mr J. Warnock has kindly consented to combat such an argument. Ihe debate is expected to bo entertaining; and as both gentlemen have acquired some repute for special pleading, they are likely to utilise their material to the utmost advantage. In 'addition to these items there are others of a different character. Thus, Mr W. O'Keeffe will read a paper on 'Colonial Mail Services," Mr F. Whiting another on " Phrenology," nnd Mr A. Rcid will lecture on the abstract subject of ' priticism." Mr E. Cooper hus also pro mised a lecture, but tho subject is not yet anu'iunced. Two evenings (including to nigiit) are to be devoted to extemporaneous speaking, and one evening to readings and recitations from the works of Mark Twain and Shelley, whose writings also-will be criticised. The annual business meeting unes place on the first of November.

The "Fifteen" Puzzle.

This tortuous problem, simple when learnt, but perplexing to tho uninitiated, has en gaged the closo attention of a rigid mathematician in our office, and he claims that after wrestling resoluteljf with it for several weeks he has conquered. When the puzzle was first introduced to Auckland itengaged his attention.ahd by rapid degrees asserted such a mastery over his mental faculties that ho was rendered unfit to dis charge his usual duties. Ho lapsed iuto a state ot contemplative abstraction, carried the magic board everywhere, aud moved the squares hither aud thither incessantly. Seeing that his mind was hopelessly pre occupied with the game we suggested a holiday, in order that the coveted solution might be acquired for an expectant world. Ho grasped eagerly at the chance, and hurriedly left town. After several weeks' uninterrupted rustication he sends us the following effusion, which we print as the first deliverance of his over-wrought brain: "It is a mistake to suppose that the success ful solution of this puzzle depends upon the way the squares are moved about, for it depends merely upon the position the squares occupy originally. A great deal of trouble may bo saved by applying a very simple test for ascertaining (in half-a minute) when it is possible and when im possible to solve the puzzle, and no oue need fear this rule of guidance will divest

tho game of any proportion of the iutcrest which at present attaches to it. It will certainly tend to simplify it, besides obviat ing the painful necessity of going through the process of shifting about the squares for perhaps hours when thoir relative positions render a successful result alto gether impracticable. Upon examination it will be found that exactly one half_ of the myriad different ways of placing tho numbers aro possible means of arriving at the solution while by the other half success is impossible. 1 am, perhaps, asked why ? Well, I will give a very good reason. Amongst the different accounts which are given of the origin of this diabolical puzzle there is one which asserts that it raged in China 1)50 years before the era of Christ. Now, sup posing that a Chinamau had commenced in

that remote age to place the sixteen squares iv all the various relative positions which it is possible for them to occupy, and that after death his spirit energetically continued the tusk, the studious shade of defunct Mongo lian would stilJ bo engaged upon the tedious undertaking, and uppareetly no nearer its completion than when ho started full of hope and sanguine expectation. However, this much may be relied upon : that after having satisfactorily placed the squares and ascertained by the test above referred to tho impossibility of solviug the puzzle, all the time spent in endeavouring to solve it will be unavailing. Here are examples, a " pos sible" and an "impossible " construction -.— POSSIBLE.

"A WRONG THAT NEEDS RESIST

ANCE."

, (To the Editor.)

Sib,—Will you aUow me to say a few words with regard to a practice that is too pre valent in Auckland. For instance, a butcher of Parnell avants some work done ; he puts it in the hands of an architect to prepare plans and specification and advertise for tenders. Auother man and myself agreed, to tender for the work, and we 'did so. Tenders were to be opened at noon on Saturday at the architect's office. We I attended there at the time stated, along with perhaps a dozen more, who were gulfed like ourselves. The tenders were opened and ours proved to bo the lowest. Wo tell the architect we are prepared to go on with the work. He says he has to see the proprietor, and that we are to attend at his office this morning. We do so, and idle away another two hours before we can see him. We naturally expect the job is ours; but no, he says the proprietor has given the jotf to someone else Without consulting him at all. Now it seems to me, - from what 1 can hear, that the proprietor fully intended to give it to these men in the first instance, but he was afraid to trust them to give him a price for the work, and he must needs impose upon a score or so other people by inducing them to tender for the work he never intends to give them, and so robs them of their time and trouble that he may be sure he is getting his work done at the cheapeit rate. If he wished to give his work to these friends, or customers, or whatever they may be, he ought to have done so at first, but he has no right to make fools of people in the way he has. There is too much of that sort of work altogether (at auy rate in the building trade), as many others beside me could tell you.—Yours, & a, ' One of the Victims.

THE NEW DANCES,

To the Editor: Sir,—ln reply to tbe anonymous letter in Saturday's Star signed " Grace Lightfoot," although I do not like anonymous letters, as they reflect upon tho author, yet in this one instance I will return an answer. "Grace Liahtfoot" states :—"I bought a ticket for to Pon sonby Party from Mr Allen West. ' ,NoW I doubt her veracity, as I most emphatically deny selling oue single ticket to any!lady whatever, as the party was strictly private (see advertisement), and sixty Auckland ap-.. plicants were refused, as is well known, and the admission tickets were endorsed by the sellers alone. Secondly, the new round dances, withjone exception, were not danced at all, only the new quadrilles, etc^etc, as the Club has only been started one month,.a),the criticism on that point is as j^et—premature. 'Thirdly, The old original Lancers, as first introduced at JSt. James' and Buckingham Palace, is ugam revised, (as the Dancing Mjritress ought to know) and is now the most fashionable and only old dance in genteel society. Fourthly, If there is any jealousy or fault it must: rest with the parents for preferring to send .tl*eir children to a master who fully intends, as heretofore, to carry out his ideas of old fashionedj politeness and deportment and new fashioned dances. And lastly, the: Dancing Mistress of one of the principal public schools called at my hall oh Tuesday last, and wished me to become her assis tant. I positively declined ; henco I have created jealousy.—Allen West, Professor of Dancingi

Silt,—ln reading ■■ Grace Lightfoot's " letter in reference to Mr Allan West's " Apron and Necktie Party," given at Ponsonby, od Friday evening last, there are just two thoughts which suggest themselves. The first is, whether the lady bearing this norn de plume did not obtain her ticket as a special faVour as the imperative decision of the Ponsonby Club was to have a select party, to the exclusion of all outsiders. This therefore being, the case, it is evident that "Grace's" ticket was only sought for a mean purpose, namely, to quiz the "New Dances," and, being gratified in this selfish design, to don the critic's pen and denounce what she considered innovations in modern dancing. Anyone who is capable of judging at all of this essential accomplishment can hot but admit that the old square dances have become very unpopular—there being little or no dancing in them, the figures neing simple walked through and the saluting almost entirely ignored—while the round dances were danced iv a manner totally unworthy of educated people, as they had assumed a style devoid of taste and of that decorous respect which should be observed in genteel society. To obviate these defects new

dances have been introduced, and in no place are they more necessary than in Auckland, where there is great love for the art.and where the teaching of it has been so inefficient. It is quite easy for anyone to assume the critic.but the critic's forte should be charity ; aud if, as it appears, that this production of Grace's is simply the spleen of a rival, I can only say that the "quantity of salutation aud the intensity of the salute," and old well-known dance music, are essentially necessary in the teaching of daucing —at least in the prelimin ary part of it —until the dancers are imbued with sufficient politeness to mako their dancing graceful. The." Let's sit down class "referred to need noc'ommcut, and the method of direct book teaching which "Grace" hints at cannot bo looked upon as professional, as the proficient teacher can convey his or her instructions independent ot the book. There is nothing that succeeds like success, and when im provements come it is better to meet them cheerfully, if they are for our improvement, than to treat them as innovations. Better place the wreath on the teacher's brow, than under the guise of friendship to endeavour to divest him of it. The little I have seen of Mr West loaves but oneidea.aud that is the respect of One who failed to get a Ticket.— Jackdaw.

SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

Cfimina . Sittings.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) The quarterly sittings of the Circuit Court were commenced this morning.. His Honor took his seat upon tho Bench at 11 o'clock precisely. THK GRAND JURY. The following gentlemen were sworn as the grand jury :—Chas. Alexander, Tho* Belcher, Geo.|Bowring, John Bollard, Henry Chapman, Jas. McCosh Clark, Thos Cheeseman, juur., John William Chisholm Patrick Darby, Stephen William Elmes Josiah Clifton Firth, William Paganini Hoffman, Jas. Thos. Baird Hendry, Robt. David James, Geo. Johnstone, Cba«. Emerson Knapp; Geo. Schwartz Kissling, Ihos. Lindsay, Wm. Swinnerton Laurie, John Lawford, Wm. Lodder, Arthur Nathan, and William Scott Wilson. Mr J. C. Firth was elected foreman.- THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. His Honor delivered the following charge :—Mr Foreman and gentlemen of the Grand Inquest of the Northern 'Dis trict,—You have again, gentlemen, to deal with a long calendar. On the present oc casion there are, as near as I cau remember, 26 names upon it, some of them being out on bail. The charges number 33, in many cases several charges being preferred against one person. Many of the cases are quite of the ordinary description. There are some unusual charges. I find no less than seven charges of what may be termed forging and uttering, although many of these cases are not of forgery proper, because there is no at tempt shown to imitato the handwriting of any known person. They consist simply of cases of those Hash cheques of which there aie so many in tho colony. There are seven charges ot that description. Two other men are charged with a very similar offeuce, viz., that of obtaining money under false pretences, the false pre tence being one of these false cheque . So you will see that there are no less than nine persons ou tho calender charged with this description of offence. The extreme fa cility with which blank cheques are obtain able by persons with no account at the banks is the cause of the very great fre quency of these offences. In many cases the blank cheques are obtained from publi cans, who keep blank cheque books of all thebanks.andwho are ready to accommodate thcircustomers—aniau being able, therefore, by calling for a nobbier, to procure a blauk cheque if he so desires. In some of these cases there has beeu, I have no doubt, extrouio incimtion on the part of the per sons who furnished the blank forms, Iv one or two cases the persons who applied for the cheques, on being asked "on what bank," replied that it did not matter. Of course it might be said that tho titles and cheques of some of the banks were so similar that a simple alteration would suffice to make the blank form answer for either, and under such circumstances the remark referred to might übi attract much attentiou. Certainly, howover, cheques should uot be furnished in these cases. People, uud espe cially publicans, should be more cautious in the use of these bunk cheques. The evi dence generally is of tho simplest and most conclusive description—you will find it per fectly clear. The system that the bank has of entering cheque counterfoils is an extremely good oue, aud as most banks practise it detection is rendered singularly easy. i These arc cases which are not likely to give you any trouble. There are also at least, five cases in which the prisoners are charged with crimes such as larceny, aud in addition to the forgery cases which I have mentioned there are two others of ales 3 usual descrip tion. One is the forgery of a deed, aud the other the iorgery of au order for board aud lodging. I have not been able to look into the depositions for the particulars, for they were only brought under my notice this morning, but I think I can say that they present no great difficulties. Thus you will notice that a large part of tho calendar is taken up with offences against propeity of this comparatively trivial description. Then, gentlemen, their is only one serious offencfv that Is of violence, namely, a charg|%f shooting with intent. It is a very stra\ ; / Sase. There is no ap parent motive for^/bct. I have nothing to say upon that<£r£__ f as your duty is con cerned, but upon the lace of tho evidenco it is quite inexplicable. The motive is left wholly unexplained. There are two other very serious charges, upon which I shall say nothing; the best way is to pas 3 them over in silence. There is one apparently very trivial charge of assault, which is brought by one Maori against another. I suppose it has been sent up hero by the magistrate because since the Maories had brought their com plaint into the Queen's Court it was thought wise that it should bo dealt with by the higher Com t, It is interesting as shewing the readiness with which the natives are adopting our practices. I am sorry, how ever, that they do not always pick out the best of them. This particular case is an assault by one" Maori upon another while in a state of drunkenness. Then, gentlemen, there is n charge of bigamy, one of fraudulent bank ruptcy, and one of opening a mail-bag. Upon these I will say nothing at present. If any difficulty occurs to you, of course you will refer to me, and I will give you my best advice. There remain two charges of an unusual aud very important kind. The offence in one is that which under the old laws is called embracery, which in sub stance is an attempt to tamper with jurymen before trial. You can scarcely imagine to yourselves a more serious offence, for it effects most deeply the character of our criminal law. It effects and disturbs it at the fountain head. 1 will just read to you from a book of authority a definition of embracery, or rather o description of some of the special forms of embracery. Ido not say that it is a complete definition—l do not say that—but it is at all events a description of many|specialforms of embracery. Sergeant ■ Hawkins in his well known work defines it thus : " Any attempt whatever to corrupt, or influence, or instruct a jury, or in any way to incline them to be more favourable , to one side than the other, by money pro mises, letters, threats, or persnosions, ex cept only by the strength of the evidence and the arguments of the Council in open Court, whether the jurors on whom such attempt is mado give any verdict or not, or whether the verdict given be true or false." It is an attempt, gentlemen, in all these cases. Then he goes on to say: "The law so far abhors all corruption of this kind that it prohibits everything which has the least tendency to it, wbat specious pretence soever it may be covered with. Sir Edwin Coke says: "When one laboureth the jury, if it be but to appear, or if he instruct them, or put them in fear, or the iike, he is a maintainor, and he is in law called an embracer." [After explaining the precisemeaningof the word "laboureth, His Honor proceeded as follows]: You can see, gentlemen, from what I have already read, that this kind of attempt to interfere with the administration of justice is not ono of any narrow scope or definition. For my own part I cannot doubt, although tie case is singular if au attempt were made to tamper with a jury, or even an attempt made to canvass them with the view of ascertaining whether they were favourably or unfavour ably inclined that it would be an offence at common law. Merely the canvass ing of them for the purpose beore hand of ascertaining whether they were favourable or unfovourable, partial or impartial to the prisoner, would be an offence at common law, punishable by fine or im prisonment. The purpose of seeking an interview with a person on a jury panel, on the part of one who is interested in the prisoner, cannot be doubted. There is only one end and purpose, namely, to corrupt the administration of justice. By knowing the minds* of the jurymen— whether they inclined favorably or not to the prisoner—the right of challenge may be so exercised that a prejudiced witness may be got into tho box to try the cause. I can not doubt the duty of the judge m the matter. It is bis duty to declare such an act a misdemeanour, otherwise he would not bo acting in the f"»"Ht ">*

law. The authorities have to assert this law, even though such a case could not be shown to have been ever heard before. The chief point which you will have to con sider is whether the indictment which has been drawn up is applicable to the case— whct'aer the special form of embracery stated in it can be urged against the prisoner. I have told you gentleraeu that many different things come un der the head of "embracery," but it does not matter to the questiou what the verdict has been, so long as there was a*a attempt beforehand to tamper with the jury which gave it—it is a misdemeanour, and therefore criminal. You have to consider wnether the particular form of the indict ment is made to suit it. Of course, if it does not, you cannot return a true bill. And now, gentlemen, I have gone thiough the list, and agaia I have to say that there is nothing in it—although it is a lamentably long one unfortunately—nothing to disturb our general sense of public security. You may felicitate yourselves upon the fact that the larger number of these fraudulent offences are of a simple and ordinary char acter, though they seem to be increasing. The calendcrjcalls for no further remark." The Grand Jury then retired. In answer to fllr Dufaur, His Honor de clined to allow costs to Wilson, who at the last sittings was acquitted of the charge of shooting with intent. He also took occasion to condemn tbe practice of tying up in Ihe same packet exhibits from the lower court aud the depositions. TRUE BILLS. Tho Grand Jury found true bills against George Hart, forging and uttering; Wm. O'Cnnnell and Lawrence Henry Jilliugs for similar offences. FORGING AND UTTERING. George Hart (17), described as a photo grapher, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with forging and uttering several cheques iii the month of Aptil, at Auckland, with intent to defraud.

The prisoner pleaded guilty to the several charges, aud threw himself on the mercy of tho Court.

His Honor said as there were other similar charges to come before the Court he would reserve judgment in this case.

FORGING AND UTTERING.

Laurence Henry Jillings, 24, described as a horse dealer, was arraigned upon in in dictment charging him with forging and uttering an order for payment of a sum of money, on the 26th May, with intent to defraud.

Prisoner pleaded guilty, and offered no objection to the judgment of the Court.

His Honor said it was quite astonishing that prisoner, who was acquitted of a similar charge at the last sittings, should so soon fall into the same error. His Honor, how eyer, would read over the depositions and defer judgment. Wm. O'Connell, 37, described as a com mission agent, was arraigued upon an in dictment charging him with forging and uttering a certain cheque for tho payment of money, ou tho 16th June, with intent to de fraud.

Prisoner pleaded guilty, and said that he was under the influence of drink at the time or he should not have acted so foolishly. He would like to call evidence as to character.

His Honor said drunkenness was a poor plea in such a case. There was no neces sity of calling witnesses as to character, as this was noted as prisoner's lirst offence. His Honor said these forgery cases, being so many, seemed like au epidemic in tho country. Senlcuce deferred. STEALING FROM THE PERSON. James Watson, alias Patrick McCoskcr, 29, draper, was arraigned upon an indict ment charging him with stealing from the person of Johu Bauks, at the Thames, on the 14th May, the sum of £5. The prisoner pleaded guilty, also to three other convictions of a similar nature be tween the year 1876-9, expressing a hope for the leniency of tho Court in view of his unfortunate position. His Honor said that had this been pri soner's first offence the senteuce possibly might have been six months, but as it was evident that prisoner could not keep his hands from picking and stealing, it was His Honor's duty to pass a long sentence upon him, viz., three years ponal servitude, TttUK BILLS. The Grand Jury found true bills against Edward Whelch and Johu Francis, forgery of a deed. The prisoner Whelch, age GO, commission agent, was lirst brought up, and arraigned upon an indictment charging him forging and feloniously uttering a certain deed on the 26th April with intent to defraud. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The Court adjourned until 2 o'clock. On the Coutt resuming its sittine, Welch asked if the Deputy Registrar would read the indictment agaiu, which was permitted. The prisoner then said he would plead guilty in connection with Francis and Mar tin, who were equally guilty. The prisoner was then put back to await bis sentence. TRUE BILL. The Grand Jury found a true bill against Joseph Worms, charged with forging and uttering receipts. FORGING AND UTTERING. Joseph Worms, 34, dealer, was brought up and arranged upon an indictment, upon three counts churning him with forging aud feloniously uttering acquittances of receipts for monoy, in the month of May and Juue with intent to defraud.

Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The jury were then empannelled. (Mr A. K. Taylor foreman.) Mr Brookfield, Crown prosecutor, opened the case for the prosecution, the facts of which will be within the recollection of our readers, viz., the prisoner (<s, pedler) was in the habit of supplying Mary Ann Burke with jewellery and other articles of fashion^ and among othor transactions, prisoner engaged to negotiate with the Messrs. JHoffman, music sellers, for a pianoforte, for £32, and if she could pay that amount within three months, she was to take the piano ; but if she could not pay the whole by that time she was to pay 30s per month for its use. The prisoner took money regularly, but altered the receipts, and paid to Messrs Hoffmann less sums than Miss Burko or Mrs Ellis paid to him. Mary Ann JBnrke, of Wellesley-street, was sworn, and gave evidence the same as reported at the time of the hearing of the caso at tho Police Court.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Beforo P. Comiskey, Esq., J.P,). DRUNKENNESS. Nine persons pleaded guilty and were fined for this offence. Ellen Henry, Sunday offence, 10s.

, UNDER THE VAGKANT ACT. John Leonard, fifth-fifth conviction, was brought up under the Vagrant Act, charged with being an habitual drunkard, &c. Prisoner admitted that he was very drunk, but could not tell how many times he had been so since Christmas. Sub-Inspector Pardy said a term of im prisonment would be of service to the prisoner, as ho was continually under the influence of drink. Three months' imprisonment. ELIZA LESTRANGE. This unfortunate person was charged with using indecent language in Elliott* street while in a state of drunkenness on Saturday night. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the woman was in a bad state ot health and could not ap pear. She was sent to the hospital for eight days. A PLUCKY CHALLENGE. John Jamieson was charged with creating a disturbance in- Queen-street, by challeng ing to light the best man in Auckland on Saturday night. Defendant, a respectable young man ap. parently, expressed his deep regret at what had occurred, but he had taken too much Irish wbisky. The Court: " Where do you come from ?" Defendant: " From the city of Dublin." The Court: ■' Are you a pugilist by pro fession?" Defendant : " Oh, no, Your Worship. Never fought a battle since I left my native land, but I must own that Constable Kennedy, from County Down, was too much for me, and I am grateful to him for taking care of me." Fined 10s and costs.

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

BROACHING CARGO,

John Schwon, Wm. Bergen, Alfred Clemmitts, Chas. Jansen, Chas. Ross, Geo. Tusten, Martin Landy and Henry Pittam, on remand,were again brought up under the Shipping and Seaman's Act, charged with broaching cargo on board the British ship Chile, the property of Captaiu Pitfield, in the month of May, on the high seas. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr Tyler appeared with Sub-Inspector Pardy for the prosecution. Bergen said he had engaged Mr Theo. Cooper in his defence, but he had not arrived.

Mr Tyler opened the case, and showed by the Act mat the Resident Magistrate had jurisdiction and full power to hear these charges. Mr Tyler proceeded to say that this case was far more serious than it was first supposed to hn- w« h*A _i-_.~j-t _.---__

been abstracted from the stores of the vessel, Mr Tyler also pointed out the recklessness of the seamen who were concerned iv the robbery, especially in one instance, where a candle was allowed to burn out close to a large quantity of gunpowder. He hoped, therefore, if the charges should be proved ngainst the sailors, that the Court would inflict the severest punishment the law would allow.

Peter Brass deposed : I am chief mate of the ship Chile. Had charge of the port watch ou the voyajje out. The men now present, with the exception of Pittam, belonged to my watch. Remember find ing a knife (produced) in the lower hold between the fore and main hatch. Subse quently discovered that cargo had been broached. It would be scarcely safe to carry tho knife upon a person while open. Had seen it in Schwon's possession. Had seen him using it. Took the knife, and placed it in my drawer, thinking that en quiry might be made for it. No enquiry was made, however. Ou arriving in Auck land harbour handed tho knife over to' Sergeant Martin. Remember searching the cargo on the 21st inst. in company with Sergeant Martin.

Mr Tyler here stated that Mr Cooper, who was to have appeared on behalf of one of the prisoners, was either uuaware that the case was going on or unable to be present. He would ask that the case be allowed to stand over until 1 o'clock.

Mr J. B. Russell said that if the case was adjourned till 1 o'clock he would endeavour to provide defence.

His Worship said he had no objection and adjourned tbe Court accordingly.

On resuming, Mr Hesketh said he ap peared instead cE Mr Theo. Cooper for the prisoner Burke. He had received a note from Mr Cooper. He submitted that the case against Burke should be remanded until Wednesday.

Mr Tyler said that if there was any mis understanding he would not object to a remand of the case ngaiust Burke until Wednesday,

Remanded accordingly. Mr Hesketh asked that bail might be granted to Burke. His Worship said he would admit accused to bail in one surety of £50, and two others of £25 each.

Tho examination was then proceeded with, and the mate continued i When we went over the cargo ou the 21st we found some of the coutents of the cases out. The cases contained whisky, candles, isinglass. On the following day found that two boot trunks had been opened and boots removed ; also a case of wax vestas, a case of chlorydiue, one case of tumblers, and one case cf essences. The whiskey opened was of the Rob Roy brand. Sergeant Martin was with him all the time. There was also a case of sewing machines, a case of drugs, a bale of hair, a bale of blankets, and a bale of paper. Do not know the value of the goods damaged. All these cases were in the top tier in tbe hold, near where I found the knife. The cases looked as if opened by a marlin spike. (The several cases were here produced; and the witness shewed the marks to the Court). Remember on the 20th June going into the hold. There found a bottle of whiskey the same as this. (one produced) under Schwan's bunk, behind Johnson's chest. The men told Sergeant Martin iv his presence that they had their meals on that chest. There was no "Rob Roy" whiskey amen . the ship's stores. Whiskey was used by the officers, but of a different brand. On the 20th of May, at 6 o'clock, Leston aud Ross were uuabie to walk, and Burghan was too drunk to get up. Asked Ross about it.but forget what he said. The fore-hatch is at the fore side of the deck house and close to it. Anyone tampering with the hatch might be unobserved. Wo candles are allowed tho men by the ship. The men had to find their own matches. The matches (produced) came oat of the men's chests. You can get from the coul hole into tho lower hold. There is a bulk-head, but there is room fcr a man to get through. It was the duty of Ross to help to get coals and assist the cook. The fore hatch could be opened by wrenching off the lock. The officers could not see this being done. Saw caudle droppint's on the cargo, and evidence that caudles had been placed on cases and burnt out. Near where the candles were burnt was a large number of crates, and imnic , diately whero a quantity of gunpowder was stowed. Remember searching Landry's box on the 30th June. He had a pair of boots in his box wrapped up in a handkerchief. Asked Landry if he had boots, when he said he had none. (Left Sitting.) j
