Hesketh for defendant This was a claim for a week's wages in lieu of notice.—John C. Seccombe, brewer, of Kyber Pass Road, deponed that plaintiff was employed by the firm of Seccombe and Kon a8 a gardener., and for such jobs as required to be done. He was not engaged alone as agarde)jer,but as a general man to assist either in the garden, malt-house, or wherever his services were needed. He was not employed simply to plaut a rose tree and watch its growth until it blossomed into a rose. The reason why he was discharged was because he stayed away on a Sunday morning, when he was ordered to assist in the malting, which was a necessary work.— William Brighton deposed that he had been in Mr Seccombe's employ over a year ; he was engaged at £2 2s a week, and in fine weather was to work outdoors, and in wet weather to assist indoors ; nothing was said about Sunday work, or he should certainly have declined the offer. He assisted Brewin,the maltster, on two occa sions, on Sundays, but this was apart from his engagement. He was not asked by the clerk to assist on the last occasion. He was discharged without notice, and without knowing the reason why. Counsel addressed the Court, and finally, after some remarks from His Worship, Mr George accepted a nonsuit, costs £1 0s Gd Cochrane and Son v. Killen; claim £2 3s 6d, goods. Mr James Russell for plaintiff. Defendent Johu B. Killian, stated that he purchased a number of goods at plaintiffs sale-rooms,including teaspoona, silver watches, clothing, and other goods, but only admitted one item in the account, 17s Gd. He took the goods as he could pay for them ; and left those which he could not conveniently take, to be resold; other goods charged in the account he had paid for. —Wm. W. Cardno, accountant, deposed that Mr Killian had been a buyer at the sales of Messrs Cochrane and Son. The items charged were enumerated, and -witness showed from the books that they were never paid for. The entries were in the hand writing of the auction clerk, Mr Conrtayne,. The sum claimed is still due. Judgment for plaintiff with costs. Bennett v. Element.—Clam £12 11s Bd. Mr S. Hesketh for plaintiff. Mr Keatle.y for defendant. The evidence in this case being insufficient to establish plaintiffs claim, Mr Keatley accepted a nonsuit.

This was all the business,

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS. One man was fined 5s and costs for this offence, and Henry Dargon 20s or seven days. LOVE OF MILK. George Spinner and Robert Cunningham, were charged with the larceny of a tin of preserved milk, on board the Ben Nevis, now in port. The lads pleaded guilty but sobbed con- The captain of the vessel did not wish the Court to deal harshly with the boys. flis Worship gave them a seasonable caution, and allowed them to go back to the vessel.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT. Daniel Barigan was again brought up on a charge of wilfully exposing his person in the Domain. Sub-Inspector Pardy said there were eereral other charges, altogether four, against the prisoner, and as the chief witness was not present he must ask for another remand. _ Kemanded until to-morrow (Friday.) DESTROYING THBES.

Seven boys were charged with destroying trees and plants in the Domain on New Year's Day, The information was laid by Mr Wm. Goldie, who stated that a great number of trees and shrubs had been destroyed and damaged by the boys, who seemed to con aider that they had a right to do all the mischief possible on a pubhc holiday. He was not desirous of pressing the charges nndulv against the boys, but in future cases," he should certainly press for the punishment of offenders in this way. His Worship told the prisoners that it was very wrong to destroy trees and flowers ■which were planted in the Domain for 4he pleasure of persons who walked therein, and they ought to be thankful for the lenient view taken of their unwarrantable couduet. They would be discharged this time, but if aanght a second time, they tvould be eey rely punished.

FRANK GARDINER.

As a connection with recent affairs the name of this notorious ex-bngand has cropped up, some particulars of how he is progressing iv San Francisco may not prove uninteresting. Fraak has removed from his old quarters in Kearoey-street, and is now comfortably established in asa oon in Brannan-street, between Second and Third streets, and near the Pacihc Mail Dock. Gardiner says he made a great mistake in taking the "Starlight" in Kearney-street, as it is one of the lowest localities in San Francisco. He says that his sole aim m life is to progress upwards in the social scale, and he points to his removal from Kearney to Brannan-street as evidence of that laudable ambition. Frank casts loncinff eyes to the westward, and wyariably •comes down to the wharf whenever #n Australian mailboat arrives, and anxiously inquires for New South Wales news papers. Gardiner's fame has some what waned among the Americans, in consequence of tJw unostentatious manner in whish he conducts himself. They cannot conceive that the soft-eyed, quiet-mannered man who stands smoking behind the counter was once the terror of Hew South Wales. Every Australian visit- Ing 'Frisco, however, considers it his duty (perhaps to gratity curiosity) to give Frank si -call; and this makes up for the diminu tion of American patronage. Large offers have been made to him by more than cje speculator to tell whereabouts his " plants " are. Frank, on these occasions, mournfully shakes his head and puffs out a larger volume of smoke than um^jJ, but remains omiuousJysilent. The saloon £s not a.very extensive one ; it has more an Australian than a Yankee aspect. It is what may_ bje termed a triangular room, fitted ,up with a lead-covered counter. In front there is a bagatelle-table, where people pay for " drinks." Gardiner has only one assistant, ■who is stated to be an ex-Sunday-school .super intendent.

Regatta Notes.

We understand that arrangements have been made with the steward of the Tararua to provide refreshments on board that vessel (the flagship for the occasion) during the day. There can be rery little doubt that this step will prove a very judicious one, and judging from the ex cellent reputation won by the Union Company's boats in this respect, we antici pate that the providoring will give general satisfaction. The champion flags to be presented to the winners of the first, second, sixth, and seventh races are now ready, and one of them may be seen in the window of Capt. H. P. Anderson's store, while Mr J. Marshall, the hon. secretary, has another in bis possession. The flag for the schooner race is white, and red letters; for the trading cutter's race, white letters on blue ground; for the first-class yacht race, white letters on red ground; and for the open boat race, blue letters on white ground." The Mazeppa was expected to compete in the first race, but it is reported that the owner has refused his permission to her being entered, notwithstanding that Cap tain Hughes has offered to bear the neces sary expense. The schooner Norval, formerly one of our Island fleet, will enter for the Champion Schooner Kace. She is a fast vessel, and is placed amongst the favourites. The yachts Bismarck and Hit-or-Miss are also expected to compete in this race. It is understood that the Mary Anderson will be entered for the Champion Schooner Race.

The cutter Lee will enter in the race under 25 tons should she get back to port in time.

The cutter Wave is daily expected from Tauranga to contest the same race. A new yacht is being built by Richards in Mechanics Bay, for the smaller yacht race. It is expected that she will be ready in time for the Regatta. The Pembroke and King Mapere are both expected to enter in the open boat-race for all comers.

The Yacht Whisper has arrived from the Thames in order to compete in the smaller yacht race. It is probable that the Medora will get back from Awanui before the 29th, and should she do so she will be entered for the Champion Schooner Race. An effort will be made to have her here in time.

The cutter Matakana will enter for the smaller Cutter Race.

Stodart's Sabrina is now being prepared to compete in the larger Yacht race, for which she will be entered.

F. Edmond's Comet is not within the pre scribed measurement for the first or second class boat race. Should no race be made for small open boat, all comers, the owner will sail her in the open sailing boat race for all comers.

The cutter Mahurangi is now being put in good sailing trim for the regatta. She will compete in the race for small trading cutters.

The Sinking Fund will be entered in the race for first class yachts.

The Eaterina Borrowdale is one of the intending competitors in the race for cutters under 25 tons.

The Margaret will be entered for the first-class open sailing boat race. It is not unlikely that the brigantine Flirt will contest the champion schooner race.

The cutters Catherine and Australian will sail in the smaller cutter race.

The new brigantine Borealis was out for a spin round the harbour to-day. She appeared to work exceedingly well. It is just possible that the Rowing Club outrigger's races will fall throngh. It is said that North Shore will not send either a senior or a junior crew to compete, and the Ponsonby Club has only a junior crew in training. Tne Auckland Club have crews out of both races, but the clubs must be represented to make a race. It certainly is astonishing, aud not by any means creditable, that with a splendid harbour like the Waitemata, our young men should take so little interest in rowing. They have every possible advan tage, but notwithstandingthis, North Shore cannot send even one crew, and Ponsonby only one. Truly, a revival of interest in our rowing clubs is greatly needed. It is not definitely known whether or not the "VVhitea -will come up from Mercury Bay, and it is said on pretty good authority that Albert White wili not enter for the sculler's race. An employe at the Auck land Graving Dock (McDonald) has, we be lieve, built a gig, and will compete in this race should it come off, Considering that he is only an amateur boat-builder, McDonald's enterprise and pluck reflect credit upon him.

ST. SEPULCHRE'S.

There was a very interesting service last evening at St. Sepulchre's, the occasion being the presentation of prizes to the Sun day-school children for the past year. After a brief evening service the Rev. Mr Haselden delivered a short address, espec ially intended for the children. This was followed by an exceedingly interesting ac count of the Melanesian Mission by the Rev R. B. Comins, who gave a very graphic description of some of the adventures and dangers which our Missionaries in those islands havo to experience, and which are borne with such heroic courage and zeal. It was very interesting to learn from Mr Comins' narrative of the manner in which a way has been opened up for the operations of the Mission in the very next island to that on which Bishop Patter son was murdered, which wp aretoldhas been unvisited by any Missionaries since that lamentable occurrence. As soon as Mr Comins had finished, the Rev Mr Dudley, assisted by Mr George, the superin tendent of the school, delivered the prizes, which consisted of handsomely bound books of all kinds. In all there were 93, distributed as follows :— To girls in the main school, 50; boys, 24; infant school, 16; adult Bible class, 3. After the prizes had all been delivered, Mr Ewington, the teacher of the adult Bible class, made a few very appropriate remarks. The superintendent, during the evening, read the report for the past year, which showed a marked and gratifying increase in the attendance since the year before. The average attendance during 1879 was 237, while that of 1878 was only 184. That such a large proportion of the scholars received prizes, and that so many of them had almost the highest number of marks attainable, are proofs of the care and atten tion bestowed on them by the teachers, both ladies and gentlemen, of St. Sepulchre's, as well as of the appreciation of their efforts by their scholars.

WOOL PHIZES FOR NEW ZEALAND AT THE SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

AT the Judging of the wool exhibits, which terminated on Saturday evening, January 3, amongst the commendations and prizes awarded were the following for New Zea land :— Class foe Rams' Hogget Fleeces.—D. McNicol, of Auckland (the only exhibitor), highly commended for a hne exhibit of Lincoln wool. Ewes' Fleeoes.— James Wallace, Auck land, first prize, for a first-class lot of Lincoln wool.

Charles Reed, of Auckland, would haye got a place in this class if the days' growth of his wool had been stated.

Ewes' Hogget Fleeces.—Charles Reed, Auckland, first prize, for fine lot of Leicester wool. It will thus be seen that to Auck land alone bayg honours been awarded in this department.

THE STORIES OF TWO SAILORS.

One afternoon recently a man sitting on v i barrel of North Carolina resin at the foot of Griswpld-street was approached by a chap who seemed Jto want all that any one could give him, and who opened the ball by say ing : ' " Stranger, I A-ant to ask a favour of you I'm a bailor, and I'm just ashore after being knocked overboard by the mainsail-boon .and swimmiag twenty-one miles on a straight line. I don't ask for money to buy food, but I'd Jike to get some hot rum to pre vent the rheumatiz from settling in my joints." "Go right away from me! exclaimed the man on the barrel. " I'm a sailor nzyself, and I expect to be arrested every minute for killing the Captain, mate, cook, and two men, and scuttling the vessel!" " But you didn't swim twenty-one miles, persisted the other. " That's so; but I was tangled up •in a fish-net for three days, aud that's just as ' bad ! Go on : I won't give you a cent until Pm tried and'sentenced.!"-" Detroit Free Press." ___^______

EXTRAORDINARY RESULT OF A

LIBEL ACTION.

WELLINGTON, this day. THE following were the principal issues in Anderson v. Kirkbnde as answered by the jury :—Did defendant print and publish of and concerning the iphiiuliff jin the Raugi tikei "Advocate" the words set forth in the declaration? Yes. Are the said words defamatory of plaintiff? Yes. Are the allegations of fact in alleged libel true of the several matters following. That is to say, was plaintiff apprehended and placed under restraint, and charged and liberated, as in second plea alleged? Yes. Did plaintiff assault and beat one Richard Cobden Easby ? Yes. Was plaintiff in the employment of Thomas Mc^enzie, and whilst in such employment was plaintiff a person of drunken and dissipated habits? Yes. And during the latter partion of such employment he was a person of drunken habits, but he did not threaten McKenzie. Did plaintiff reside at the town of Wan ganui and contract debts, and did he leave the said town without paying such debts, and have such debts never been paid? Yes. Was plaintiff arrested, and charged, and convicted at Wanganui, as alleged substantially ? Yes. Did plaintiff unlawfully illtreat his wife at Wanganui as alleged ; and was the assist ance of a police constable procured as alleged ? Yes. Was plaintiff charged at Wellington and convicted, as alleged ? Yes. Was plaintiff charged at Wellington and convicted, as in the thirtieth paragraph al leged? Yes. Was plaintiff charged at Wellington and convicted as in the four teenth alleged ? Yes. Is plaintiff—and for many years prior to the 9th August, 1879, was he in the habit of drinking alcoholic liquors very hard as alleged, and was his health thereby affected as alleged? He was so at various times up to 20th July, 1879. Did plaintiff illtreat his wife as alleged? Yes. Is plaintiff as a journalist and as the editor of the "Evening Chronicle Newspaper," generally known and reputed to be a very scurrilous writer, and in the habit of making coarse personal attacks in the said "Evening Chronicle Newspaper" upon persons who may happen to differ with him in politics ? Yes. If the alleged libel, so far as it is matters of comment, fair comment upon the defendant's conduct and writings of the plaintiff. The comments on acts and writings of plaintiff are justified, so far as the article complained of is concerned. What sum (if any) is plaintiff entitled to recover from defendant ? None.

DECISIVE MEASURES,

[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON, this day. The Stella is going to Opunaki to-day with eighty constabulary. The "New Zealander" this morning states that decisive measures relative to the West Coast confiscated land business, some time pending, are about to be taken. It has been resolved to give full effect to the terms of the proclamation, summoning all the natives who have claims to come in, aud tender them in due form, and thus it is expected that a virtual separation will be effected between the Taranaki natives aud those of Ngatimaru, to the weakening of Te Whiti's power. Road making is to be vigorously prosecuted by the Constabulary connecting at Opunaki and Wailii, working towards each other. After the section of road between Waihi and Opunaki is com pleted the construction of another section from Opunaki North to Stoncy River will be undertaken. There are some 700 men stationek in the district.

Correspondence.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

(To the Editor.)

Sik, —I think every varent or well wisher of our young ones will coincide with your remarks upon the extravagant length of the public, and other school holidays. I have yet io learn that with about six or seven hours work for five days in the week, a month or six weeks at the New Year, aDd a week at midwinter, and all the public holidays, including anniversary day, Queen and Prince of Wales Birthday, the teachers are called upon to work half as hard as hundreds of others. I think they have rather cosy times and are fortunate in their day. Probably their work is hard and trying—so is plenty of other associa tions that compel men quito as intelligent to work 8 to 12_liours six days in the week, and no long holidays once a year. We may have too much of a good thing and so far from benefitting children, I believe it takes them another month or two to get into their heads what they have forgotten. So far as they are concerned a week would be quite sufficient holiday. I think the Board of Education ought to give this matter more serious consideration.—Yours, &c, Parent.

MOTHER SHIPTON'S PROPHECY.

(To the Editor.) Sif,—Will you, through the medium of your valuable paper, answer the following questions?— When was Mother Shipton's prophecy written, and by whom—a man or a woman? as a gentleman in Onehunga says a friend of his was intimate with the writer of the verses, and gave them to him. We argue that it is impossible, as she died centuries ago.—J.B., Unehunga.—[Mother Shipton's prophecy was first published in 1488, and republished in 1641. It is as follows :—

Carriages without horaoa shall go. Accidents fill the world with woe, Kound the world thoughts ahull now in the twinkling of an eye. Waters shall some wonders do— Now strange, bui shall bo true. The world upside down shall be, And gold be found at root of tree; Through hills men shall ride. And no horse or asa be at his side ; Under water men shall walk, Shall read, shall sleep, shall talk; In the air men shall lac seen, In white, in black, in green, Iron in the water shall float, As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall ba found and shown, In the world that Is not now known, Fire and water sliull wonders do. Hnglnnd shall at last admit a Jew, The world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one." A volume entitled " The strange and wonderful prophecies of Mother Shipton, completely setting forth her birth, life, death, and burial" was published in 1677 by Richard Head, an another of pome note, who died in 1678. He also printed other works bearing the name of Mother Shipton.

Important Mining Case.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day.

The action of Frascr v. the Imperial Crow nCompany, for hearingatthe Warden's Court this morning, caused considerable interest from the former position of plaintiff. The claim was laid by Colonel Fraser, late Resident Magistrate and Warden, against the Imperial Crown Gold Mining Company (Limited), to obtain possession of the machine sites originally granted to John Goodall, known as Goodall's battery site, and which it is supposed includes the Big Pump and Prince Alfred Battery, on the ground that company's are not the holders of a miners right, under which the machine site certificate was granted. The de fence was that the company hold a (license under the Goldfields |Act of 1876, which in cludes the properties referred to, such license being granted by the plaintiff whilst warden. Plaintiff appeared in person. Mr Miller represented the defendants Judgment was given against plaintiff, who has lodged notice of appeal.

A Singular Freak.

Some excitement was caused in Sytnonds street last night by a report that a man had been seen going about in the most public part of that thoroughfare in female attire. Subsequently two young ladies standing near the pianoforte warehouseof Mr Bowriug were struck with the suspicious appearance of a figure approaching in female attire. It was noticed that the person walked in an ungainiy manner, and with a very heavy tread, and that he was too tall and broad-shouldered for a woman. On nearer approach, it was seen that he wore a soft black felt hat, pulled over his eyes, and men's boots, and that a portion of dark whiskers protruded from under his disguise. A young man who came up at the time told the two ladies that his suspicions had been aroused, and he had followed the man. The latter, however, when he saw that he was watched, went into the cemetery, whither he was followed by the youth. It was noticed that the fellow appeared to_ be perfectly sober, and his object in assuming the disguise is not known.

Mr .Richmond Thatcher, brother of the famous singer, and who is well-known in Auckland, recently addressed the following letter to tlie Sydney " Daily Telegraph " : —" Sir, —It is generally known that I came over from Victoria in 'order to see Scott, now lying" under sentence of death in Dt.r linghurst Gaol. After his release from Pen tridge I stood alone as bis friend, and in de fiance of public opinion tried my utmost to keep him from any further career of crime, by giving him a chance to earn a living. Since hia condemnation he has repeatedly expressed a desire to see me, but niy appli cations for an interview have been refused by the authorities, while his letters to me have been suppressed in the most unwar rantable manner, considering that others have reached their destination. I have good reasons to believe also, that while I am studiously prevented from visiting him, he is being made a '.' rare show " of, and it would be interesting to learn how many ap plications "to inspect the gaol" 'have been granted during the past th'reo weeks. An officer—high in the Government service—told me that " information had been received " that I had some nefarious object iv wishing for an interview— a most infamous slander. I wish to see Scott simply because he earnestly desires it, and has expressed that desire to his solicitor and others ; and because I firmly believed that if a little more of that fair play, sup posed to be characteristic of British people —a characteristic which, I thank God, I still retain—had been shown to the unhappy man, he would not be in the position' he •is now. I learn that Sc'ott'wishes to confide to me some particulars respecting his past life, and it is popularly supposed that I should make " a good thing " out of the revelation. in case he should do anything of the kind, I am quite willing to present to a public charity any'sum which newspaper pro prietors might deem an equivalent for the information with which i coujd supply jthem, Jo prove that I seek nothing from rijm Jn deaf h any more than I did when I tried to befriend a despairing, desperate man.—l am, air, yours, J KIOHJiOND Thatcher."
