The Inspector laid before the Board a copy of his (the Inspector's) report to the Go vernment, which is as follows : — INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Auckland, 18th February, 1881. Sir, —I have the honour to report that in accordance with instructions conveyed to me by telegram of the 14th inst., 1 forth with requested Veterinary Surgeon Sharp to come to Auckland for the purpose of Inspecting cattle in the infected portion of theN.A.C.D. The only place in this dis trict, which is now uador proclamation of being infested, is the place known as Ire land's farm, near Panmure. Mr Sharp and myself proceeded thither yesterday, and inspected all the horned cattle upon the farm, viz., 13 head, beirjg one bull, one steer, and eleven cows and heifers. In the Eeport transmitted herewith, Mr Sharp pro nounces the cattle thus inspected to be ap parently free from disease. I concur iv the opinion thin expressed by the veterinary Burgeon. , Messrs Ireland's farm was first declared to be infected with plcuro-pneumonia by the North Auckland Cattle Board, on 13ih March, 1880, between which date and tlio 30th of October, about nine head of cuttle arc known to have died there of pleuro pneumouia, or to have been killed iv conse quence of their having that disease. The majority of thes-3 cattle ai\s dairy cowi, locally bred (not imported). Veterinary Surgeon Sharp, in his report, expresses his opinion that "it would be not f.afe to remove thereslric'.ious " from Messrs Irelinl's faim before the expiry of "six months from the date of last outbreak. The period of six months is the amount of time that it was thought fittinc should elapse between the disappearance of the disease and the declaring of the infected places to be clean, in the South Auckland Cattle District.—l have, &c, (Signed) i. C. Lewis, Inspector of (a tie. (COPY). 17th February, 1881.

From outward appear ances they appear free from disease; but it would not besafetoremovetherestrictionsfor six months from the date of last outbreak. -(Signed) ALFRED Sharp, M.rS.C.\.S. To Mr Inspector Lewis, Auckland. 'Afterduedeliberationthefollowing motion was unanimously passed by the Board : "That the Board concurs in the rcpoits made by the Inspector and veterinary sur geon, and will be prepared to recommend to the Government that the North Auckland Cattle District be declared free from disease on the 30th of April next, provided no fresn cjse of pleuro-pneumonia appears in the meantime."

THE PORT ALBERT SHOW.

[By TELEGEA.ru, Own Correspondent.]

PORT ALBERT, Tbureday. To-day's Agricultural Show, by common consent, is proclaimed tho most successful over held iv the district, whether as regards attendance or tho number aud quality of the exhibits. The sky was overcast in the morning, but the clouds booh disappeared, aud a beautiful afternoon waa the result. A very large number of equestrians and equestriennes were present, while family vehicles wero to be seen everywhere. The hospitality cf tho Port Albert people is pro verbial, aud visitors therefore are not sur prised at the cordiality of the reception accorded them. The principal feature of the Show was an abundant and spleudid display of fruit, for which this part of the country is already noted. Most of the settlers can now boast of acres of ground containing youug aud choice trees, so that a few years hence the Auckland market should be supplied from this quarter. The dairy produce was good, while tbe live stock, with the exception per haps of sheep, may be said to be up to the average. The Local luduatry was represented by Mr Jones' saddlery, Mr Smith's stoves, a collection of New Zealand views, which Mr Lougbottom is selling, and Home minor articles shown by settlers. The success of tho Show is, in a great measure, due to the unremitting exertions and zeal of Secretary Clayton aud the Com mittee, viz., Messrs P. Shepliord, T. A. Gubb, Smith, Cutforth, G. Pluinmer, Armstrong, F. Utting, Mawer, and Mar croft. The following is the prize-list: HORSES. Judges :—Messrs E. Coates, W. Flood, J. Walters, and T. Sainsbury. Best Kutire, 1 entry--lst prize, J.

All was to bo linished on tho advent of one man, Uivkaa. This concluded the meeting.

They stripped down this leader to-day, and knocked down 401b of (speci mens, which will yield at a low estimate, half an ounce to the pound. In additiou to tlio rich stone, they have three tons of {good general stuff, gold being freely visible in tho stave. About four feet to the north is tho laruc leader. Fiftoen feet highor up tho hill, they have driven about 8 foot on tho bi^ leadur, nearly three feet wide. They have 20 feet to drive to get on the run of gold, which they struck ou tho surfaco. 'Herman's.—ln tho bed of the creek they have sloped 8 square feet of the leader, from which the 1751ba. of rich stone was taken, which now lies iv the bank. Tho stope is now so difficult to work they are going to put iv a low level. They would sink a winze ou the shot of gold but for tho water. They will probably begin breaking down tho leader at the beginning of tho week.

Blackmoiu'S are still hard at work. They are forcing ahead the long tunnel to catch Sheehau's leader. This is tho main work. Another cross-cut is being put in to catch this one specimen leader. Black more's are erecting substantial buildiugs. Tha shareholders arc now working hard inthc various claims.

Mr Harrison, who appeared in the double capacity of country clerk and valuer, asked if His Worship woulJ hear caßos if the objector wai absent, and if so, and the valuation was euatained, would his Wornhip grant costs? His Worship said he would if the merits of the case justified his doing so. Thonms Peacock, of Auckland, applied for reduction from fifty pounds to ten. He said hia neighbours were only charged twenty-four shillings per acre. In support of valuation a plan of the property was pro perty was produced together with prices asked, Tho block, of land assessed was known as Campbolltown, containing eighty one allotments valued at one hundred pounds. The valuation was confirmed. John Smythe, Mercury Bay—not tho owner. The objection was allowed. MacDouald having sold his Coromandcl property to John Osborne, the atter name was substituted.

WARDEN'S COURT.

(Before Henry Konrick, K.M.) Dooley v. Fiusm.—ln this case Dooley had pegged out land at Eraser's Mill tor a business site under the Gold fields Act. His pegs encroaching on land held by Frascr under lease from the nativeß, Frascr destroyed the raining notice and removed the pegs. The Warden lirst drew the attention of the interested parties to the fact that the land occupied by Frascr for mill purposes was within the boundorics of the goldh'eld, and therefore sublet to goldfield regulations. The mill site had, however, been obtained from tho natives by a valid lease. l fra-«er had done ■wrong by"taking the law into his own hands and removing the pegs, thinking he had bsoluto right to the ground. It was wrong to remove the pegs, while on the other hand Dooley should not have put pegs in land occupied by buildinea without obtaining an order from the Warden's office. With respect to Fraser's interest, the Warden wonld have a sufficient area marked off for the require ments of the mill property, and would have it proclaimed a reserve, thus securing to Fraser's the ground required. He would get the County Council to lay o(F the road, and mark out the business sites, Dooloy to have Qrsl choice of a site, as his application would b( the first lodged—but he would grant nc order until the site had been sur veyed. Frascr having legal title hit section should be reserved. Applicant' would have choice of sites according to the order their applications were received atthi oflice. Beyond those sites the whole grounc would be thrown open for goldmining pur 1 poses. Mr Fraser had to pay expenses Mr Wilson made similar complaint. Hi: pegs had been pulled up. The Wardci ' gave similar ruling as in Dooley's case res ! pectiug the withholding of orders until tlv ■ County Council had laid off the road, tlv 1 apolicant would then have priority of choice
