For the cause that lacks assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the gcod that we can do.

The ousting of the circus from Albert Park by the threatened litigation of the adjacent lessees should act as a warning to the City Council. But for the voluntary withdrawal of his claim by Mr Cole, at very considerable incon venience to himself, the Council would have been placed in a very awkward position. Attacked by a writ from the lessees on the one hand, and advised by the Attorney-General that to withdraw the permit would involve them in heavy damages at the. suit of the circus, the Council were impaled on the horns of a dilemma, frqm which Mr Cole's decision afforded a happy and unexpected release. .If these proceedings have served to remind the Council and " other public bodies adminis tering public reserves that there are inolividual as well as collective rights attached to such trusts, good will have been done. It is not the first occasion on which we have drawn attention to high-handed dealings with

the public recreation ground secure:! by law to tho citizens of Aueklaud on tkisestate.jTlietemporaryusoforacircus which cater, for the amusement of the whole of the city is only a minor transgression. The occupation of the ground with old buildings, and the foncingof it off for private tenancy extending over a term of several years, is far more serious ; and now that tho axe of the reformer has been uplifted let it bo driven straight homo to tho root. Not tho loast gratifying part of tho affair is the attitude taken up by the lessees. These tenants have no exclusive rights over tho park. Thoy could only ap pear as citizens, and ovcry burgess in tho municipality had an equal right to object to tho aliena tion, however temporarily, of tho com mon lands. But, as we havo said, tho permit to tho circus is not tho first exoroiso of a private right over the park, and it is well that tho ovils which may result from such illegal practices should havo been brought straight homo to tho doors of those who were disposed to look with a favouring eyo upon other malpractices which either do not causo them personal annoyance, or which minister directly to their own enjoy ment and advantage. Thoro can only be ono logical deduction from tho action of the lessees. If the temporary uso of the park by tho circus was illegal, then private occupations for moro extended torms are worse in proportion to their duration. Tho objection of the lessees to tho annoyance of tho circus surroundings is altogether beside the question viewed from a purely public standpoint. Circuses are allowed in all towns, they must go somowhoro, and if thoro wore no other consideration in tho mattor, wo don't see why tho lessoos of tho Albert Barracks should bo protected more than any other class of citizens. Wo deny that thoy possess any peculiar privileges. Their ease lias a claim on public sympathy just in tho measure that it is a vindieationof the rights of tho citizens at large, and those rights will nevor bo fully vindicated until a clean swoop is made of all build ings, private fences, and other oxcros cencos which havo obtained a footing on tho Albert Park, and the reserve is laid off and applied to its lawful purpose. The Council havo now the monoy to carry out this work and should sot about it at onco.

Wk learn that tho negotiations for tho open ing of Te Aroha as a goldliold arc still pro ceeding, and a satisfactory result is antici pated in a few days. Tho gold discovery is situate on a nativo reserve of somo 3,000 acres, but tho natives with their usual perception of their own advantage, have stipulated for a high price for opening tho field to miners. Ono of tho conditions is that a sum of £1000 shall be paid do wn by tho Government as an instalment, but to this Mr Whitaker has uot yet sceu his way to agreo and has made counter proposals. Mean while a number of men aro already on the ground, and pressure is being brought to bear on the Government to hasten the nego tiations to a successful termination. The matter will probably be settled on the arri val of the Premier,, who is on his way up to Auckland to meet Sir Arthur Gordon.

THE Nihilist conspiracy in Russia Is assuming a milder phase. This is in a greet measure owing to the moderato and con cilatory policy adopted hy General Melikoif, tho head of the Supremo Commission. Tho indiscriminate repressive measures of his predecessors involved the innocent as well as the guilty in tho punishment for sedition, created a panic, and drove the already discoutcut.d population, struggliu a against famine, oppressive taxation, and the exactions of corrupt administrators, to desperation. Instead of striking blindly and in tho dark at every person suspected of sympathy with the Nihilists,! General, Melikoff has shown proofs of remarkable tact and discrimina tion in tho exercise of his difficult functions, nnd by a wise leniency has brought back to right paths many imprudent youtli3 who had been drawn into the movement by falso notions of liberty, and the means to obtain it. The Nihilist secret committees are still powerful for evil, and aro sus pected of being the authors of recent con flagrations that have raged in various parts of Russia; but the influence over the pea santry is rapidly waning, and in many dis tricts" they are regarded with detestation. Out of twenty-two persons recontly convicted of complicity in the plot to destroy the Winter Palace live were sentenced to death, eleven trans ported to Siberia, and six recommended to mercy. Out of the fi"o the sentence on three has been commuted to expatriation. An idea lias prevailed that the fate of convicts ■ sentenced to penal servitude in Siberia is one of ex treme hardship, resulting in speedy death; but a recent English traveller shows that the condition of the convicts has been con siderably ameliorated of late years, and that they are in many respects better' off than the convicts of other European nations. It is possible, however, that the writer has been influenced by Russophile views, though his observations tend to dispel the common idea that Siberia consists of little else than barren steppes and wastes of sand. a.

ThK situation at Dulcigno has been further complicated by the murder of a Turkish officer, who was sent to demand the sur render of the city Dy tho Albanians. The Porte will thus have to face the alternative of suppressing the insurrectionary party with its own troops, a course which it ap pears bent on evading by every artifice of Oriental craft and duplicity, or of inviting the European Powers to undertake the task of placing tho Montenegrins in possession. This, of course, so far as mere physical force is concerned, would be a trifling matter for the tremen dous naval and military rcsqurces of which the combined fleet is composed, were it not that there are other considera tions which complicate tho position, and render the expedient extremely hazardous. Unfortunately, it is not the Albanians alone who would suffer from a bombardment of Dulcigno, but a large number of Christians who are resident in the town would share in the general calamity. It is feared also that an attack would be the signal for a general massacre, which would embroil other dis tricts, and probably result in a genctal war. There is a storm brewing on the Greek frontier, and the Bulgarians are dis turbed, while the Montenegrins are ready to fly at the throats of their Albanian neighbours if they can avoid a collision with the Ottoman troops. Unfortunntely the much vaunted " European concert "appears to be little better than a hollow sham. In deed, if we may judge by the perpetual in trigues, military parades, and petty jeal ousies of European States, wc should be justified in assuming that they are squaring for a conflict on a gigantic scale, while engaged in the solemn farce of despatching ah enormous naval demonstration to patch up a squabble amongst a handful of third rate powers,about a miserable strip of terri tory , hardly the size of one of tho smaller New Zealand highway districts. Germany and Austria have never entered heart and soul into the "concert," and are said to view Gladstone's Eastern policy with angry jealousy. The French Govern ment has issued snch arders to its Admiral as to amount to an admission that France's participation in the affair is merely to keep up appearances. It is palpably not to the interest of Austria, and, consequently not to that of Germany, to facilitate any crisis in the East at piesent which would disturb the Slavs and hasten the removal of the centre of national and commercial gravity to a point lower down the Danube. Italy docs not count tor much on either side, but is not likely to view with a friendly eye the influence of Austria on the other side of the Adriatic. It is a singular and instructive commentary on the variations of European diplomacy that at' this moment England and Bussia are the two Powers most nearly associated iin the task ot enforcing the terms of the Treaty of St. Stephano. It may be, however, that the Russians have long since perceived that the European happy family would fall out, as mediators often do, over the settlement of the domestic affairs of Turkey, and afford a favourable opportunity tor accomplishing those long - cherished designs which have formed the keystone of Russia's policy during the present century,

The French Metho dist paper, "L'Evaiigcliste," is prepared to extend a welcome to those people, in order to give them a chance to prove their ability to make an impression on tho lively faucy of tho French.

Among tho porfonncrs in Colo's Circus Company is Mr W. O'Dale Stevens, who, when a boy, performed in Auckland with his father sixteen years ago. The elder Stevcna had a capital variety company, and the original Christy Minstrels. Ho made money in the colonies, bought the hotel and theatre at Dunedin, and acquired property at Hokitika, thou iv the zenith of its pros perity. He presented the goldlields town with its first hospital. Finally, he sold out, went iuto circus management, lost his capital, aud, after making a professional tour of tho world with his family, died nt Madagascar. Mr W. O'Dale Stevens, the equilibrist of Cole's circus, was thus bom and bred in the business, and he is one of the cleverest performers in his own line in the world. His apparatus cost 3,500 dollars. Lying at a height of iiftecn feet lie balauces a tablo seven feet square on his feet and turns it round. A Maltese cross, three balls, &c, arc treated in the Barae way. The performance is en tirely now in tho colonies. Another of tho chief attractions ot the arena is Miss Linda deal, who was formerly connected with Barnum's Circus, and the Great London Show. Her designation on tho bill is "Queen of the Flaming Zone," from her flight through hoops oncirclcd with lire. Her bare-backed equestrienne feats aro novel aud daring. Mdllc.

The old Duke of Wellington proposed to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts when she was a girl ot tender years, but she wouldn't listen to him. Then the Bishop of London tried without success. Afterwnrds, when she was about forty, a Mr Wykoil', of Phila delphia,, tried his hand, and, as ho was a 'clever American; nearly succeeded, but the Baroness, just a little too soon, found out that he had a J.iaison with a notorious actress. The baroness has £300,000 a year.

To-morrow evening a panorama of the coal mines will be exhibited at the public school-room, at Stokes' Point, and a short theme will be given by one of the scholars, as well as singing by the scholars. Wo understand that the committee are seeking means to establish an instrument for the beuefit of the school, with a view of making it equal to the growing demands of the district,* which promises to becomo one of our most attractive -suburbs. The Park Committee are taking steps to form a per manent cricket ground on the recreation reserve, whichhas lately been presented to the district by the Government. The church committee hold a meeting nt the school room previous.to the entertainment to de cide upon a better site for the Anglican church than the one now occupied, which has been so long the only centre for tho re ligious work of the district. The Wesleyans possess'one of the finest sites nt the junc tion of the main road" abovo tho school. Being a high|positipn, a building would pre sent a pleasing, feature, and could be seen from any part of Auckland. As an instanco of the progress of the district, one of the re cent settlers within six mouths has pro duced fruit and vegetables, Jand has been gathering beautiful strawberries.

The most interesting event of the English yachting season was the appearance of tho new cutter, tho Vanduara. Built in almost direct opposition to the rules which havo hitherto been accepted for the construction of a last yacht, sho has surprised every one by her wonderful performances. _ Her career is of great interest to Americans, for it is more than likely that she will go there next year, and attempt to wrest the "America" cup, which has been held there for almost twenty years. The Vanduara was built at Partick on tho Clyde, for Mr Clarke, a well-known manu facturer of cotton thread. Sho has sailed in all the. principal English races, beating all the crack yachts. The Formosa, Princo of Wales' cutter, supposed to be the fastest of the fast, was utterly unable to copo with her. The Vanduara gets her name from the town of Paisley, which was called by tho Romans Vanduara.

On Wednesday evening last, the em ployes of the firm of Messrs Wm. McArthur and Co. were entertained at a banquet in honour of Alderman McArthur's installa tion as Lord Mayor of London. Tiie spread was laid out in the Royal Mail Hotel, and much praise is due to Host Codr ling for the manner in which he performed the duties of caterer. After doing justice to the good things provided, the following toasts were drank with enthusiasm :—Mr McMillan, as chairman, proposed the " Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales, and Royal Family," and the "Army and Navy." Mr C. P. Taylor responded to the last named toast. Mr Larkins, as vice chairman, proposed the health of " Wm. McArthur, Lord Mayor of London," and Mr McMillan suitably replied. Both gentle men made lengthy speeches, and gave some really capital advice to all present, Mr Campbell proposed " Tie Kesident Part ners," and the chairman and vice-chair man responded. The vice-chairman then proposed "The Employes," which was duly acknowledged by Mr Fry. The other toasts were, " Travellers and Friends," proposed by Mr Lloydd, and responded to by Mr Knight; " The Ladies," proposed by Mr Mitchell, and responded to by Mr W. Baker; " The Press," and " Music," proposed by Mrßirkett, and res ponded to by Mr Burnham ; and " The Host," to which Mr Codling replied. During the evening and between the toasts songs were given by Messrs Burnham, Baker, and Holden. Altogether a very pleasant and enjoyable evening was passed. l

Mr Edward Robertshaw, lato assistant minister ot St. Thomas's Church, and who has an appointment in a rural district within the diocese of Waiapn, will be duly ordained by Bishop Stuart in the course of the ensuing month. While at St. Thomas's, Freeman's Bay, Mr Robertshaw was the means of doing much good, and gathered around him a respectable congregation ; and great regret was expressed at his inoppor tune removal from his sphere of usefulness.

He devoted himself heartily and unostentn*

The contemplated opening up of the new gold field at To Aroha (says the Waikato " Times ") has caused considerable excite ment in the Waikato, not only amongst the tradespeople, but the working class- also. At the present time there are a considerable number of the latter class out of employ, and would be only_ too glad of the chance to migrate to the neighbourhood of the new field provided an inducement was offered. Tho triumphal arch to be erected at the, entrance to the city for the reception of Sir Arthur Gordon' has been designed by Mr Anderson, and is very neat and appropriate. It will consist of a main arch 25 feet in width, with two side larches, the pilasters being carried above the arches aud sur mounted with flag poles, bearing a floral

design with the word "Welcome," tho Crown, and " God Save The Queen." Sir Arthur Gordon's coat of arms will bo placed in the centre of the arch, flanked by the arms of the Corporation and the seal of the Harbour board. The pillars and othor parts of the structure will also be hand- '■ somcly decorated, and altogether it is anti- I cipated that tho design will be very hand some and effective.

The companies forming tho Auckland

Rifle Battalion underwent their monthly parade last evening at the Drill-shed, under command of Major Withers, who subse quently read tho district orders in relation to tho Governor's reception. The men were put through their several exercises by Major Derrom.

Mr Fred Jcune, well-known in Auckland as a supporter of movements calculated to benefit society, is at present on a visit to the ' old country. A letter received by the last mail from Jersey gives rather interesting information about him. Fred has friends and relations in that salubrious place, and he is exciting their curiosity about this colony. In taking his walks abroad he grumbles at their narrow streets and roads ; he tells them their entire street is not so broad as an Auckland footpath. He growls at the style and architecture of their public buildings, gazes with contempt on their schools, and sheds tears of disappointment over the want of enthusiasm at teetotal meetings. Fred is not only convinced that Auckland is the finest and pleasantest place in |the world, but he i 3 also imbueing his friends with the same gratifying sentiment, and the writer of the letter referred to, wants to know if what Fred says is correct, as they think New Zealand must be a very nice place to live in. Fred is therefore a species of emigration agent; and if tho New Zealand Government had but thought of him in time they might have given the travelled proprietor of "Excelsior Hall," Newton, the office of Agont-General vacated by Sir Julius Vogcl.

Letters received in Auckland from Mi G. S. Graham states that he and Mrs Graham are quito well and have been doing the grand tour in Japan, China, and India. They were at Cairo, Egypt, when the letter was written, and expect to arrive in Auck land about the end of tho year.

Mr George Haytcr was unfortunate with his lecture last evening in the Temperance Hall. The weather was very wet, audthe expected choir were not present. The audience numbered about twenty. Mr Hayter, however, gave his views of the " Signs of our Times," dealing chiefly with the theological topics recently advanced oy Mr G. A. Brown, which the lecturer de nounced as untrue, according to the teach ings of the good old Book, and unworthy ot intelligent credence.

A visitor to Salt Lake, writing in an American journal, says :—" As I was tak ing a stroll one evening I overheard two saints earnestly chatting at a street corner. " To think of going back to one lady I was the indignant exclamation of one of the poly gamic pair. They appeared to regard with horror the idea of tying a man down to one wife. A man was pointed out to me on the street as the owner of one wife aud three brevet wives. No. 4 was a blooming girl of 16. The owner of these four women was a man fully 5, r> years of age, a native of the State of New York and educated aud intelligent, In Salt Lake City and in most portions of Utah women are spoken of as " ladies." A man's wife is his '* lady " and his wives are his "ladies." Muny^of the dry-goods clerks iv Salt Lake City have three wives apiece. " How the deuce do these fellows support so many wives? In California a man who sup ports onejdocs amazingly well." This I said to an old resident. "Well," ho replied, "in the multitude of cases it's tho women who support the men. Old Brigham used to preach to tho women that they must make themselves useful as well as orna mental. They sew, take in washing, and work generally. If they like it, what busi ness is it to people a thousand miles away ?"

The number of inmates of the Pamell Native Homo is to bo reduced to 30, and boys with a preponderance of European blood are not to be admitted in future.

Professor Road, of London, says geological evidenco demonstrates tho fact that the world has reached tho mature age of 600,000,000 years. Chief Justice Gorric, of Fiji, is a Kai-Si by birth. Ho is a bully ou the bench, and the terror of female witnesses. He is of an economic turn of mind, drinks colonial beer, and patches his trousers, but wears a scarlet gown iv Court, which hides thelast mcutioncd fact.

A prize pig exhibited in Melbourne weighed between 1,300 and 1,400 lb*. It measures 9 feet from snout to tail, and stands over 4 feet in height. Bertie Saverna is a mere pigmy to th is animal.

If Sir Francis is to show off the glory of the Colony occasionally in the Park, he must get made a chairman oi some company or another."

One of the London ladies' clubs, according to the " Whitehall Review," is determined to keep up a character for an austerity of virtue which nothing shall impugn. A member was recently requested to resign for kissing her brother in the dining-room. Under the circumstances it is quite a pity that she didn't kiss somebody else's brother.

Major Dunnup: "Awf'lly dull down here, isn't it, Miss Maria '!" Miss Maria : "Do you think so ? Why don't you go then ? You're a bachelor, and have only yourself to please." Major Dunnop : "Only myself to please ? You don't know what a doosed difficult thing that is to do." Whon old Mrs Bunsby had got through reading in tho morning paper an account of the last fire, she turned her spectacles from her eyes to the top of her head and re marked : "If the city fireman would wear the generwine hum knit stockints, such as wc make and wear in the country, they wouldn't be a bustin' their hose at every fire."

General Roberts' March to Kandahar.

SUFFERINGS OF THE TROOPS.

A correspondent of the "Pioneer," who accompanied General Roberts on his march from Kabul to Kandahar in August, writes : —August 20th will always be remembered by those who survive the operations now being carried out, as a day full of privation, and calling for much endurance by officers and men. We marched from Mukur to Paujak, covering 21 miles by the direct road. Water was so scarce that followers fell exhausted on the roadside, and wo had to send back bhistees (water carriers) with mussacks of water to save the kahaos (car riers of the wounded) and others from dying of thirst. The heat was greater than ever in the day, although in the morning the air had been bitterly cold. One company of a native regiment lay down in an irriga tion channel, the water of which was too muddy to drink. Not a tree gave shade in any direction, and the arid plain, with its scrub growth, seemed to grow red hot. I do not wish to exaggerate the sufferings of the army, but it should be counted in our favour thereafter that we were marching day after day through a half desolate land, with no supports to fall (back upon in case of disaster, and uncertain of what lay be fore ns ; with nothing but thin tents to shield us from a sun which laughed to scorn lOOdeg. in the shade, and with a water supply so uncertain that we never knew in the morning where our camping ground in the evening might be. At Pau jak itself were good villages belonging to Aslam Khan, the Toklie chief, and we had water and supplies more than enough for our force, but the struggle to reach this oasis broke down many a man and beast. The troops were rewarded by the issue of an extra ration of rum—non-drinkers re ceiving an extra meat ration; and as the heat had been so trying it was debated whether, in future, reveille should not sound at 1 a.m. and the march begin at 2.30 a.m., a bright moon favouring this arrangement.

On August 20th, Captain Straton with a small party ot signallers, had gone on ahead with the cavalry and climbed the Tozi Hill, whence he expected to communicate by heliograph with Kelat-i-Ghilzai. Seeing a hill in the distance which seemed to answer to the description of the fortress, he directed his light upon it, and within ten minutes came back an answering flash. In half-an-hour General Roberts and Colonel Tanner had exchanged messages, and then we learned of the disastrous sortie of the 16th, and the death of General Brooke and the other1 brave fellows who fell with him. Colonel Tanner informed us that he would send a company and collect supplies for us.

The Governor's Reception.

The arch which is to be erected between the Thames and Waitcmata Hotels in view of the arrival of His Excellency the Gover nor will present quite an imposing appear ance. The main arch is to be 28 feet _in height and 25 feet wide, while the side arches will be each 7 feet wide. The pilas ters will rise above the whole affair, terminating in flag-poles, from which the word " Welcome" fashioned in flowers will extend in a semicircle. Immediately underneath this will be a representation of the crown flanked ou either side by tho loyal legend " God Save Tho Queen." Lower down upon the arch will be His Excellency's coat of arms, sup ported on one side by the Municipal arms and on the other by a facsimile of the Harbour Board seal. The side arches will bear the Royal monogram, and the pillars generally will be profusely decorated with floral devices in the shape of wreaths, stars, crown, triangles, diamonds, etc. A plentiful supply of flowers will be _ required for this kind of ornamentation, aud the authorities are therefore rely ing upon the liberality of citizens for floral donations. It is also expected that the owners of bunting will not fail to display it advantageously, for it is by private effort principally that eclat is lent to thCße popular demonstrations. The landing place is to be carpettcd and pro fusely adorned with flags, evergreens, and flowers, while the shipping are to be decked out most gaily from truck to taffrail. ;No communication has yet been received from the Friendly Societies as to whether or not their co-operation can bo counted on, but their silence is taken to imply consent. As we go to press, the Reception Committee are consi dering the advisability of extending the route of the procession, as suggested by a Star correspondent a day or two ago, viz., through Painell and past Newmarket.

The Kelly Sympathisers.

A MEtnouitNE correspondent describine the conduct of the Kelly sympathiser* in their endeavour to tccure his reprieve says :—" During the morning about 200 persons of both sexes turned out from th back slums of the city, and assembled at the Town Hall. They had the impndenr-« to enter the building, but sab-inspecto, Larmer, with some constables, soon appeareii on the scene, and turned them out. William Gaunson, with Mrs Skillion, Kato Kellv James Kelly, and Wild Wright, eventually arrived and set out for Government House with the unwashed looking mob at their heels. Captain Le Patourel, his Excellency's Private Secretary, received Mr Gaunaon and told him that the Governor woulii positively receive no deputations that day Jim Kelly aud Wild Wright, who returned on foot, were evidently objects ofvenera. tion to the mob, for they were accompanied by a large number of them through the streets to the Robert Burns Hotel, in Lonsdale-street West. Their loafing-looking retinue were not, however satislied with gazing at them in the streets' but they also besieged the hotel, crushing through the passages aud into the rooms iv order to feast still further their morbid curiosity; and yet these people were just the kind of persons who would rush, if they had the chance, to see Ned Kelly hanged and who would gloat over the eventin the after, noon. An examination of the petition showed that they were signed principally in pencil, and by illiterate people, whilst wholo pages were evidently written by one pereon Jim Kelly addressed tho crowd from the door, aud told them that it was not all over yet, a remark which was loudly cheered.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Messrs C. C. McMillan and W. A, Graham, Justices of the Peace.) A NEW CHUM. Philip Huntly was charged with commit, ting a number of larcenies: (1) stealing two coats and a vest, value £1 ss, on the 2_th October, the property of MessrsDunninghanl and King ; (2) pair ot field glasses, value £3 on the 30th, the property of Archibald McMillan; (3) an umbrella, value £1 ___, the property of Cheeseman, on the 6th instant; (4) pair binocular glasses, value £2, on the 13th instant, the property of Samuel Stevenson; (5) 1 white shirt,.the property of Charles Dignan, on the 16th inst.; (6) pair of shoes, value 7s 6d, on the same day, the property of David Thomas. Mr Pardy said a number of cases were against the prisoner, and, as some of the witnesses could not b. present, he would ask for a remand until Monday. Mg Application granted. BYE-LAW OFFENCES.

Alfred Palmer was fined 10s for riding on the footpath iv Cook-street. James Jelly, 2s, for allowing his chimney in Brewer. Lane to get oh fire ; William McKenzie, _s, 1 wandering cow on the Beach Road, Devon port ; Matthew Slattcry, 5 cows on Beach Road, 2s ; Charles Hobson, horse at liberty iv Wellesley-street (not served). Costs were addded in these cases. THROWING STONES. Charles Haines was charged with throw. ing stones at Henry Simes in Grey-street on the 3rd inst. • ■ i*;*o Defendant, a lad of 14, pleaded guilty. -~ Mr Pardy said that stone-throwing was now very prevalent among boys.* In the present instance the stone struck Mr Simes in the face, but he did not wish to press '.he charge. The Bench said it could not look over an offence of this kind. Fined 5s and costs." PELTING. A CHINAMAN. ~ George Dunn and Michael Head were charged with throwing stones at Thomas Quoi, Chinamen and interpreter, on the 18th instant. _ t ... < Dunn said he threw a stone at the hand cart without any intention of striking the Chinaman. .. -* _v : ■ ■-', Mr Pardy said these were cases in which the defendants should be dealt moreseverely with. Mr Quoi, a native of China, was subjected to the grossest treatment from these boys. The Chinaman kept a small store, and these and other boys were con tinually pelting and abusing the poor man in every possible way; his life in fact was a misery to him. I 'I The Bench c ommented severely upoii the conduct of the boys, and imposed a fine of 10s each, the costs of witnesses, &c, being rather heavy, viz., £3 ss. . ~',, | HOWLING AND HOOTING. Robert Taylor was charged under Ihe Vagrant Act with howling and hooting at Thomas Quoi, and otherwise annoying hub. The lad pleaded guilty. The uncle of the defendant said the boy* was fatherless, and he hoped, as this was the boy's first offence, that the Bench would "deal as leniently as possible wife

Fined 10s and costs or in default seven days' imprisonment, as in the preceding cases.

.. ' II It Joseph McCagley was charged with as saulting Jane McCagley, by striking and kicking her; also, with beating his son with a heavy stick, and fracturing his wrist, on the 9th instant. •_# Defendant pleaded guilty to both charges. __ Mr Pardy Said this was a very serions case. The defendant went home drunk, and, with a thick stick, committed the out rages. He should like the Bench to hear what Dr. Tennant might have,to say njgm the outrage. Dr.;Tennant, duly qualified medical prac titioner, deposed that on the 9th instant, ho he was called to see a poor woman, Jatie McCagley, who was bleeding profußeJy from the'blows of a heavy stick, and1 .he was not yet out of danger, as.' erysit>el_B might set in, and the arm of defendant's sob was completely broken. On the application of Mr Pardy, the cases were adjourned until next Wednes day. Defendant to1 find bail, himself in £100, and two sureties in £50 each. '' THREATENING TO SKIN ALIVE. , John Taw was charged with using abuMve language towards Andrew Kelly, ati threatening to skin him like an eel, dress him down like a sheep, andboil his bones, warning him at the same time to prepare for the speedy ordeal. '

OUTRAGEOUS,

Mr S. Hesketh appeared'for .omplainnnt, and Mr Tyler for the defence. |.; Andrew Kelly deposed that he was a set tler at Waikomiti, and defendant ag^/Jj 8 (Kelly) had some words about the little Taws, who were impeitinent to him. He spoke to the father, who said it served him right, and subsequently threatened to-inal treat and skin him, as described ra'tmUn formation. To Mr Tyler : Did not call defetiftalt,* low vagabond. Could not say what my wife did. Felt sure she never threw clods at him. Mra Kelly knew how to'behave her self. Knew he was an express-man. ., Did not say that Taw had tried to driveflffljr cattle into the bush for the purpose* ot stealing them. Never dreamt of such" -thing. James Gunson. foreman to Mr Kelly, gave evidence. Saw Mr Taw and Mr Kelly together on the green. They were inclose confab. Heard MrTaw say " Look oufrior a settler," but did not'hear any threats. There was nothing said in his heating about fish of any kind. ' */__ To Mr Tyler: Could not say how far be was away. Had no idea of distance. Somewhere between 5 and 500 yards from there. Was a bit deaf, and had a slight impediment in his speech. ' Mr Tyler: I thought so. f John Thompson, another settler,'fa* present at the time of the altercation. Heard Tom say he should dress Kelly down, and finally do something else. Heard nothing about /'skinning" or :"bouinf? down." That was an exaggeration.' „,»} To Mr Tyler: Had known Kelly 16 years. Could not say that Kelly was always in hot water with his neighbours. Mr Tyler addressed the Court, and con sidered the case of a very trnmpery charac ter. According to the charge, tho defend ant had been guilty of making nso Of anguagel which evidently had never been used. , __ Mr S. Hesketh having addressed the Court, * . - ' The Bench commented upon the evidence, and dismissed the case, each party paying his own costs.

WITHDRAWN. Zjt, A charge against John Wade for B*"** ing William Rykers was withdrawn by consent of the Bench. <'<i'

, BREACH OF BY-LAW. . * David' Shannon was charged with a breach ot the by-law. Mr T. Cooper ap peared for the prosecution, and said as Mr Tole was to appear lor defendant, but was unable to be present to-day, he would asK for an adjournment until Monday next./'
