Case of Horsewhipping.

A STREET ENCOUNTER.

The monotony of Queen-street was unex pectedly relieved late this nftornoou by a sudden recontro between two well-known gentlemen, in the course of which one ad ministered a sound horsewhipping to tho other. Tho assailant. Captain Kerr, was walking along Queen-Street in the direction ot the wharf, when just as ho arrived opposite the National Bank ho met Dr. Smith, who was sauntering along with 11. N. Abbot and Mr Neville Walker. The captain crying out " Yon scoundrel" fiuddcoly rroduccd tho horsewhip and knocked off tho doctor's bell-topper» He then procoeden to inllict a s>onnd casti gation on the shoulders of tho un fortunate medico, who tried to foud off the blows as well as well as ho could, but made no out-cry. Once he attempted to beat a retreat, but the captain following him up, resumed his exercise, accompany ing the blows with some muttered expres sion?, amongst which the word "wife" was distinguishable. Eventually the bystanders interfered*, and the rentle men were separated. An informatioa for assanlt will, in all probability, bo laid. The cause of the afl'ray is thought to be of a domestic character. Captain Kerr came from Sydney about two or three years ago, and is well known in Auckland. He made a fortune at the Capo diamond fields, and at about the sania time became the recipient of alesacy. Dr Smith was formerly assayer lor the Bank of New Zealand during the early days of the Thames goldlield, but subsequently went home, studied medicino and obtainod a diploma

The Wakatiwai Whale.

Tub " Thames Star " of last eveniog gives tho following accouut of an attempt to capture a whale :—" The steamer Vivid has gone to Wakatiwai to brinsr oIF tho stranded whale. The gigantic fish—it is 70 feet long—will be towed to Tararu point and then tried out, when if, as is supposed, it is a sperm whale, it will provo very valu able to the captors. We hear that the finders had a " native-difficulty " with some of the Miranda natives regarding the whale, the Maoris claiming it as their legiti mate property under one of the provisions of the Treaty of WaitaDgi, and on that plea managed to levy a modicum of black mail. Tho immense mammal is expected to arrive hero this afternoon, and no doubt his whalo ship will be deputationised by a large num ber of curious citizens. [Sinco the above was written, we hear toe steamer com menced towing the whale this moruing, and when about four miles from the Miranda the animal began to nhow signs of returning vitality, and the people on the steamer soon discovered thay had caught a Tartar, as his whaleship turned tail and commenced swimming vigorously back to the shore, pulling tbe vessel after it. According to latest account?, the whale has again become a little more passive, and the steamer was making headway Tbamcsward.]"

(By Telegraph.)

GR.ABA.MSTOWN, this day. The whalo was brought over safely this morning, after taking charge of the steamer yesterday, and requiting all the rifles, guns, v spears and other available weapons to quieton it. It is of the sulphur bottom species, and over 70 feet long.

"The English Church before Augustine."

THIS was tbo title of a lecture delivered by the Rev. C. M. Nelson, in St. James' Hall last evening, for the purpose of augmenting the funds that are being collected tor the erection of a Protestant Hall in Newton. It has been previously delivered in Auckland, and consequently is npt un familiar. The Key. W. Tebbs occupied the chair, and in a very felicitous opening speech introduced the lecturer of the even ing to the audience. Mr Nelson started with n reference to the foundation of the English Church, which, he remarked, was generally fixed at the year 61, A.D. After some further observations in the same connection, he proceeded to sketch with much graphic power and incidity of style, the conditions of social life and1 the low status of spirited feeling existent in Britain at that time. The Druids, ho considered, wore compara tively cultured people, who had settled amoncst a much Inferior race, and perhaps had been regarded by them just as the Peruvians did the firafc Europeans whom they met. The Druids, however, were priests and philosophers rather than soldiers. It is thought they taught the initiated to believe in one God ; but the vulgar held no such belief. To them each mountain and river had its god, and the offering of human sacrifices was not uncommon. After re viewing and dismissing as inconclusive the contention that St. Paul visited Britain, tha speaker went on to relate the early trials and fierce and bloody persecutions through which the infant church had to struggle. Eccles iastical edifices were fired, the scriptures publicly burnt, priests and people done to death, with the very conceivable refine ment of torture, and heresies propagated; but still the establishment increased and strengthened. The departure ot the Romans from England proved a great and severe blow to British Christianity, but the energies of St. Columba and other missionaries preserved it from extir pation. It found a refuge at lona, so that when nearly driven out in the south, Christianity, through God's provi dence, was nourishing in the far north. This was its state when Augustine came. His mission was not wholly successful, but the principles were afterwards established on a broader basis by Theodore, happily for the English Church. Mr Nelson con cluded by pointipg out that Britain was not altogether, nor in great degree, indebted ta the Church of Home for her Christianity. —Mr Dooniu proposed, and Mr Barton seconded, a hearty vote of thanks to the lecturer.—lt was carried by acclamation.— Mr Nelson, iv acknowledging the compli ment, said that at some future date he would have much pleasure in giving a sup plementary lecture on the aaiue subject, and for tho same purpose.—A vote of thanks to the Chairman brought the pro ceedings to a close,

A Lively Scene.

EJECTMENT OF A BAILIFF,

Considerable sensation was caused in town last ovening by an atlompt on the part of Mr Finlaysoh, bailiff, to seize tho stock in tho shop of the Auckland Clothing Corn puny, and tho silbsoquout summary eject ment of that gentleman trom the premises. The attempt was made in accordauce with an order granted to Mr S. Ucskctk at the sitting of tho Supreme Court iv chambers yesterday morning for tho seizure and snlc of that portion of the goods which was in stock at the shop known as the Auckland Cloihiug Company's on tho 10th of August. At dusk last evening, Mr Woodrulfe, clerk to the Truntee in Bankruptcy, nccompuniek by Mr Fiulayson, bailiff, proceeded to the premises in question, nud informed the attendants that they had a writ authorising the seissuro' of tho stock. The Officials were not, however, received in n very friendly spirit, and an altercation ensued, during which some warm language was used. Mr Bell informed them that tho stock belonged to him, find not to Mr J. B. Robiuson, tho former owner, and that ho had purchased it on tho Ist of September from a Mr Cuthbertson. Mr Woodruffe then decided toiproceed to tho Supromo Court for instructions, but seeing a number of burly looking lumpers on the premises, who had apparently been engaged to prevcut the seizure of tho stock, ho made an arrangement that the bnililf should not be disturbed. Mr Woodruff then left tho shop leaving Mr Fiulayson in posses sion. He had Rcaicely gone, however, when the army of lumpers wero marshal led, and tho bailiff ordorod to depart. This ho refused to do, and consequently ho was seized and carried out of tho building. Ho Was deposited carefully on tho pavement. On his way down tho street Mr Woodruffe encouutercd Constable Hist, and fearing that some violenco might bo attempted to the bailiff he decided to secure his services. He accor dingly informed tho coustaulo that a bailiff had taken possession of the Auckland Clothing Company's promises uudor a writ of tho Supremo Court, and then requested him to go to the placo in questiou iv order to prevent any breach of the peace. Tho policeman accompanied Mr Woodrullb to tho shop, but on arrival thero they found tho unfortunato bailill had been unceremoniously put out, and that he was refused re-ad mission to tho building. Constable Kist spoko to Mr Bell, the proprlotor, iv referenco to the disturb ance, and Kiulayson, encouraged by tho clerk, took advantage of tho excellent opportunity thus afforded to mako his way into the shop. Ho was again ordered to leave, but refused, and produced the writ of tho Supreme Court authorising him to mako tho seizure. Mr Bell then appealed to Constahlo liist to rid the shop of tho presenco of tho obnoxious intruder, biit of course he declined to inter fere. Tho proprietor then threatened that if the man was not removed at once he would have him kicked ou. Constable Rist was in a dilemna, and not being desirous of exceding his duty ho decided to go to tho oflico of Mr Sub-inspector Pnrdy and get instructions. By this time a very largo crowd had gathered outside, and no small amount of interest appeared to bo evinced by the spectators in the proceed ings. Constable Hist handed over his charge to Constable Dodd, and then Jeft for the Police Station. ' Immediately after wa.'di tbe crowd became exceedingly in quisitive, and began pushing and elbowing into the shop. Constable Dodd went to the door with tho object of removing them, and whilo he was thus cogaged the bailiff was seized by tho sturdy lumpers, and after a brief stragcrln was again put outside the building. The treatment which the oflicial received could not Jbave been of a very tender nature, for, thinking discre tion the better part of valour, he refused to enter the shop agairj, allegtng that his life was iv danger. The shop was locked up by the proprietor, and tho crowd wero unwil lingly compelled to disperse. No further action was taken to-day but tbo shop was not opened. A notice affixed to tho door informed enquiring minds that the premises were " closed for 'stock taking. Will open shortly."

DISTRICT COURT.—YESTERDAY.

(Before His Hon. Judge Macdonald.)

Macffarlane v. McfiKE,—Mr E. Hcs keth and Mr Kcetley for the plaintiff, and Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant.—Mr Lcndrum was further examined on behalf of tho plaintiff, and deposed as to the delivery of the filly to him by Mr Macffarlane, nnd its being taken away at night by Mr McGee.—For the defence Mr Cooper called Owen C. McGee, who denied that there had been any sale of tho mare to Brenan, or that he had ever taken Brenan's promis sory notes for £100 or £50 in payment of her. He denied the statements of Brenan. as to tho interview in tho Panmure Road and at the Ellerslie Hotel. The only trans action he had with Brenan was an accom modation order for £500. which ho returned to Brenan at Elle^slie od his bankruptcy, as he had not negotiated. He valued the filly at from £100 to £130.—Mr Hesketh sub jected the witness to a long and rigorous cross-exaniinatioD, but did not materially shake his evidence.—Mr K. Taylor, of West Tamaki, proved toe identity of the filly with the one ruuning oa his farm last yean Ho did not see either Brenan or McGee at hia placa on Easter Sunday, and believed Mr McGee would have called at the house if he had been there. Ho was at home all day.—Mr J. B. Kussell wa3 examined, as to hi 3 claim upon the filly.—Mr Thorp was examined as to the ideutity of the mare, and Mr Potter aa to the bringing in the filly from Tamaki to Ellerslie.—Mr Theo. Cooper then addressed the Court, submitting that the plaintiff had failed to establish the sain to Brenan, and that Brenan's evidence was unreliable am! improbable. He contended that the proba bilities were with McGee, whose evidence

boro tho stamp of truth, lie reviewed tho various points of the defence, nnd argued that tho plaintiff should bo nonsuited.— Mr Hoskcth replied at length, reviewing tho evidence given, nud contending that Brenan's statement was probable and reasonable. He submitted that tho plaintiff had established his caso, anil that McGee's statement boro external evidence of un truth. He also contended that the de fendant had failed to establish any part of his defence, and that the pluintilf was em titled to a verdict for the full amount claimed (£100). His Honor commented at somo length on tho evidence given, nnd decided that Breuati's evidence was impro bable, and that the truth of McGoe's state ment Was more probable thau that ot Brehan's. It rested upon the plaintiff to prove a sale to Brcnan, and the evidence adduced on the plaintiff's behalf should, in order to entitle tho plaintiff to a verdict;, bo strong enough to rebut the probability of truth in the defendant's evidence. With out going into the other points of defence ho was of opinion that tho defendant's story bore the probability of truth, and that being so he must hold that tho plainiiif had failed to establish hi* case. —Mr Hesketh elected to tnke a nonsuit, and the plaintiff was ac cordingly non-suited with costs, £14 15s.

Re Golden arrow Gold Mining Company.—Application for the appoint ment [of a liquidator in tho place ot ono Alexander Hogg.—Mi E. Hcsketh appeared to-make the application, but ou the matter being called His Honor intimated that bo had been a .shareholder in tho Company at one time, and in the course of winding up ho considered that it might bo sought to mako contributory. If that wero so he would hi directly interested in the proceed ings, and uudor those ciruumstauccs ho deemod it proper to decline jurisdiction on the grouud of interest.

[bY TELEGKA.rH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

GKAHAMSTOWN, this day. In tho AluurriA, tho Wostcra atopo übovo tho 70 feet lerel lodo in looking very well, and occasionally showing colours of gold.

At tho Sons ov Freedom level tho work of clearing tho dobris from the old Lincoln Castlo drive has been completed up to the faco of tho drive, nnd driving has boon started on a nice looking leader about 18 inches in thickness showing good mineral indications.

Nkw North Devon.—At the lntermev. diate level the lode is smaller and moro com pact than hitherto and showing plenty of bright ruiueral und colours of gold whenovcr broken down.

Nkw Wiiai/.—Tho leader In tho stopos abovo tho intermediate- lodo Is about six feet in thickness, and about four feet of it is being saved for crushing. Tho small leader is running along tho footwall and shows a little * fcold. Work has been suspended in tho leading stope and the rise is being put up on the reef to prove its value at tho higher level. A rise is being put up ou tho boundary of the Whan and Albumin to sec whether tho reef improYos. Towards tho surface in a drive at the intermodule level the reef is about livn feet wide, but only three feet is saved. A new cross-cut ii being commenced f, om tho chamber of tho winzo to intersect the leader ou the hanging wall of tho lodo.

COROMANDEL, this day.

The Tokatea Company has 01 ozs of gold from the Thodos' tribute.

The Pride of Tokatea has 501bs of good specimens to hand from Allan McDonald's tribute.

Koyal Oak: Mine manager reports :— "Since my luat communication, I have nothing in particular to write about. Now Keef Stopei: We havo aeon a few colours of gold occasionally, but nothing of any consequence. The reef is still looking well. No. 1 iisef Stopo3 : Blotches of gold were seen freely, aud a few pounds of picked atone obtained ; otherwise there is no change in these slopes. Tributer : McSweoney, in No. 1 section, succeeded in striking gold yesterday. The leader is small, and runs parallel with the ojd stopes. They are now opening out upon it. Tokatjca : Mine manager again reports : — " The country in No. 7 level has been more favourable for tho contractors than usual, enabling them to drive 18 feet during the week, or a total of 33 feet for the fort night. The ground is at present fair shoot ing, and, should it continuo, the level will cot tho approximate line of reef, or sup- Sosed line of drainage in about four weeks' riving, being now 64 feet from the faco of the level. Those measurements are calcu lated from the low level of tho Bismarck Company, but I believe it will bo found that a cross courne shewing in the van drive that has not been cut in the Bismarck low workings has thrown tho lode in a south i easterly direction, and that another 100 feet will havo to be added to the above distance before the Tokatea lode channel will bo mot with. Tributors: Thode and party hare 871bs specimens on hand. Hornibrook's party are taking out a small, loader carry ing payable gold.

MINING REPORTS.

Southern Cross.— Mr Stodart received to-day a long report from the mine manager of the Southern Cross, in which he says there has been two men workiug in the cross-cut lode for the last fortnight, who have broken out 7 loads of quartz, the crushing of which produced 15ozs. amal gam. Mr Coutts believes that the next crushing will be more payable. Tookey's main lode >io. 1. —14 loads broken out, 7 of which have been crushed, but did not prove as profitable as anticipated. Speci men leader. —Quartz crushed amounting to 3 loads. Contemplate starting a rise up towards tho point where ths good specimens were got a short time agoand blocking it out.

llanoing Wall Leader, No. 1 Main Rekf.—Started a few men in this lode, and have seen a few colours of gold. Leader looks well. There have been 18 loads of quartz crushed from all parts of the mine for the return of 32ozs. amalgam.

Imperial Crown Ground.—The manager went down Tookey's shaft yester day to tho 100 feet level, which connects Golden Gate shaft with Big Pump shaft, but found the gas so strong that it would bo difficult to carry on any works at this level until tho water is taken down to tho 400 feet level.

Old Caledonian.—The mine manager's report states that tho south face, No 1 sec tion, No 3 level, has been driven six-feet across the lode during the week, but has not yet reached the hanging wall. It is passing through solid slabs of bright mineral, the quartz boiog but little cryslal ined, and it has not yet shown payable gold. The report goes on to speak of work in pro gress, stating that the ground Is good, and that he has ten tons of quartz on hand, which will be crushed next week.

New North Devon.—Mr Wilcox, the mine manager, reports have continued sinking the winze during tho week on the hanging wall of the reef. It is now down a distance of 43ft. below Whau level. On account of the largo size of the reef, I thought it advisable to sink the winze on the hanging wall portion of the reef, in order to reach tho 7Ott. level as soon a? possible.—lntermediate Level: The reef here is not so large as last reported, but is of a more compact appearance, still showing good colours of gold when broken down 70ft. level.

Reuben Pakr.—Mr Comer reports that in Hopper Level a slice has been cut which heaved the reef, and which he has not been successful in picking up, but expects to do so in the course of a few days, when a better reef may be had with more encourag ing prospects.

Sons of Freedom Level made a start on. the 23rd Juno on the reef at the end of the Lincoln Castle cross-cut. It will take a week before a fair start can be made in the face. Tho quartz looks well. Mr Comer purposes driving on further to open up another, block, which ho beliovos will pay-

SUPREME COURT.-IN BANCO.

This Day,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond),

Application for Appointment of TRUSTEES.—Mr E. Hesketh presented a petition praying for an order to appoint Thomas Davies Cleghorn and George Fraser trustees under tho will of the late William Potter. The particulars stated in the peti tion may be briefly rehearsed : About two years ago Mr Potter died, leaving a will, and appointing Messrs Cleghorn and Cawk well his trustees. Mr Cleghorn, however, declined to act, and Mr Cawkwell was therefore left sole trustee. This state of things continued for a time, but several months ago Mr Cawkwell died, in his turn leaving Messrs G. Fraser and J. Buchanan his trustees. The latter gentleman declined to accept the trust, and a doubt was raised as to whether Mr Fraser had the power to appoint new trustees under Mr Potter's will. In consequence of the incertitude felt upon this point, it was determined to make application to the Court under the Trustees' Act, of 1850 to appoint new liu-toca. Mr Potter's widow, those of the children who had attained majority, the

husband of ono ot tho daughters, and the testamentary guardian had also cousented to the application, and Mr Cleghorn, who had formerly disclaimed his nomination, was now willing to act,—His Honor made an ordev declaring Messrs 1\ Di O!?ghorn and G. Fraser trustees under the will of the late W. Potter, vesting the property irr them, and giving authority for the pay* ment of the incidental costs out of the decoased's estate.

Ru Patrick Madman, a DeMtor.-^ Application for discharge.—Mr J. A. Told appeared in support of this application, and there being no opposition it was granted, Tho Court then rose.
