refused permission to have a "fancy parapet" which was not in accordance with the Building Regulations, Mr Brett should be bound down by, thorn as well. The Mayor pointed out that the two cases were entirely dissimilar. Mr Dempsey made his applica tion after his building had been erected, and the regulation was infrii gorl, while Mr Brett's had not yet been erected. Besides as the locality in which tho latter gentleman was building, was. oxempt at prosout from the oporatiou of tho Ke»ula tious he was under no compulsion to put up, other than a mere wooden partition between the two houses. On the question being put, the votiu<{ was oqual. The Mayor said he would give his vote on the side of common sense. The plan wa3 therefore approved, the parapet not being insisted on.

POLICE COURT.—This day.

(Beforo K. C. Barstow, Esq., K.M.) INEBRIATES. Throe persons were lined for drunkenness. THE DILLIARD IMLLS. John Allen surrendered his bail and appeared in answer to a charge of being concerned in stealing 16 billiard balls, i&c, value £8, the property of Win. liamley of tne Auckland Hotel. Mr Tolo appeared for prisoner. Mr Pardy said the police had made enquiries' since yesterday, and had found that the balls were purchased by prisoner. Ho would therefore ask for a withdrawal of the case. Withdrawn accordingly. ALLEGED BREACHES OP THE LICENSING ACT. John Grogan was charged with supplying alcoholic liquor to a girl named Kate Lamb at his licoused house, tho Queen's Head Hotel, on Sunday, the 10th inst.; also with supplying, on the same day, alcoholic liquor to Margaret Sutton, she not being a Ijonfl, tide traveller, Mr Tyler appeared for defendant, and pleaded not guilty. Margaret Sutton, a girl of eleven yearpj deposed that she lived with her mother in Grey-street. On the Sunduy before last she was sent to tho Queen's Head Hotel, Upper Queen-strdet, for beer by a man who was in tbo next house. Defendant served her with a pint of beer, for which she paid 4d> She went to the front door and gave the bottle, and then went round to the back to get the beer. Mr Grogan took the bottle and gave her the beer. Elizabeth Sutton, mother of the late witness, deposed that her child was sent for a pint of beer on the Sunday in question. She drank a portion of it, but did not ask the girl where she got it. Sergeant Clarke stated that he went to Grogan's Hotel with the little girl in order to ascertain who supplied her with beer, Eointed out MrGrogan without the slight est esitation, Mr Tyler addressed tho Court in favdur of his client. The case for the prosecution rested on the evidence of a child of eleven years, and he considered the Court could not convict on such slender evidence. Even the child herself said, when the constable question her, that she had forgotten where ehogot tho beer. John Grogan, licensee of the Queen's Head Hotel, was called, aud deposed that he was in trie hotel at eleven o'clock on Sunday. There was only another man and. himself in the hotel at the time. Ho did not see the little girl that day, and he could swear positively that he did not servo her with beer as alleged, John Strathaway gave evidence of a very contradictory nature relative to what he had and had not seen during the day. His Worship'said the defendant had the ■weight of evidence and ho must therefore dismiss the case. Tho same defendant was then charged •with supplying alcoholic liquor to Mary Lamb on Sunday, April 12th. Mary Lamb, a little girl, was called, bnt a3 she could not explain the nature of an oath, her evjdonce could not be accepted. Mr Pardy said there was no doubt that there was a good deal of Sunday trading, but the police were compelled in a largo measure to depend upon the evidonce of the little children who carried the liquor. The public could therefore understand the difficulty experienced in securing a con victlon. ANOTHER CASE. John Gillander was charged under the same Act with supplying alcoholic liquor to George Binney at the Pacific Hotel on Sunday, the 3rd inst. Mr Tyler appeared for plaintiff. Charles Crowley deposed that he went Into the Pacific on the 3rd in company with a man named George, who worked at Holme's. They went in the back way and had a pint of beer each. They went in awain about noon on the same day, and had another pint each. The barman served them. Saw the landlord in a back room. Geo. Binning, a butcher, deposed that on the Sunday in question he went to Western Springs, and killed four bullocks, fourteen sheep, and one lamb. His Worship :On a Sunday. The witness; Oh, we do it any day when we get the chance. (Laughter.) Examination continued :He left for Wes tern Springs at 7.40 a.m. Was not in the Pacific Hotel all that day. Sergeant Clarke deposed that about 8 a.m. on the Sunday in question he saw Crowley and Binning together by the door of tbe Pacific. He told them to go away. Bather more than anhour afterwards he saw thesamo men coming from the back entrance of the Pacific Hotel. Binning made off. He asked Crowley if he had been drinking in the hotel. He admitted that he had, and ho returned to the hotel and pointed out the barman as the person who had served him. Mr Tyler said he could bring evidence to prove that the statement of Crowley was wholly false. It was a question if His Worship would not order the police to pro ceed against him for perjury after hearing the evidence for the defence. John Gillander, proprietor of the hotel, denied that Crowley had been served with liquor on tho day in question. He came in through tho week and offered to swear that it was hop beer ho had got. Witness told him to clear out, that he had not got hop beer or any other kind of beer on that day. George Ansenne, barman of the hotel, j deposed that no liquor had been served to Crowley on the day referred to. Had heard Crowley say that he would make it hot for them. George Thoroughgood and Thos. O'Keefe deposed that Crowley had told them that he did not get any beer in the hotel at all ; and that Serjeant Clarke was trying to pump him. Mr Tyler stated that he could call other witnesses if necessary. His Worship said he must dismiss the case. NOT SUFFICIENT BEDROOMS. John C. Seccombe was charged with a breach of Licensing Act, 1871, hy not hav ing three bedrooms actually ready and fit for accommodation, at the Edinburgh Castle Hotel, he beiug the licensee thereof, on the sth inst. Defendant pleaded guilty. They in tended to have the roof takeu off, and the building repaired, and hence the temporary •want of accommodotion. They could not have the rooms furnished while in that condition. His Worship said Mr Seccombe should have applied to the Licensing Bench for permission to suspend the operation of the accommodation cause while the repairs were being effected. Under the circum- Btances, he would not pass any sentence. WITHOUT A TICKET. Henry Hart was charged with a breach of the Public Works Act by travelling on the railway from Ngaruawahia to Auckland without having paid the proper fare, on the 7th inst. Patrick Cox deposed to the circumstances. The defendant travelled from Ngaruawahia with a valueless ticket, and declined to pay the fare. Defendant said he thought the ticket Vf as a good one, and he only declined to pay

until he bad seen Mr Macdonald about the matter. In the raoantimo these proceedings were, taken. Thero was no intention to defraud. His Worship took this view of the neglect, and dismissed the case. ; The Court then adjourned till two o'clock. CHARGE OF LIBEL. The Court saMat two o'clock to hnar the chargo against John Dickson Wickhatn of unlawfully aud inlicinuily publishing a, oai tain false, scandalous, and dc» fanmtory libel of aud concerning Wil liam John Hurst, a Justion of tlio I'oace for tho colony of Hew Zealand, ou 19th March. Tii 6 defendant was not in attendance when th<\ Court sat. At 2.10 p.m. His Worship commented on the want of respect shewn by the defendant to the Court in not being present at the ap pointed time, Mr Tyler said that if the defendant was not in attendance ftt a quarter past two, ho would apply for a warrant for his arrest. At a quarter-past two Mr Tyler said tho defendant had shown a great want of respect in not appearing at the proper time. He could not allow the proceedings to drop because the dofendant did not choose to appear, aud he would therefore ask that a warrant bo issued for his arrest.

The Court waited for soveral minutes, and it was then announced that a warrant would be issued.

The case was then adjourned till Wed nesday next. Mr Whitaker apologised for the absonco of defendant, and said that ho would most mobably be able to give satisfactory roasous fjr non-appearauco. The Court then rose.

Immediately afterwards the defendant appeared, aud apologised for non-attendance at the proper time. lie Had mistaken tho hour. Hud been ill atteudauoe all the

morning. His Worship decided to allow tho caso to proceed. Mr Tyler, instructed by Mr Luak, ap peared tor the eomplainaut, and Mr A. E. Whitaker for the defence.

Mr Tyler explained that the chnrgo was brought under the sth clause of the Libel Act, commonly known as Lord Campbell's. Mr Tyler read the article complained of. It said . that William John Hurst had "never" been accused of incendiarism; that he had "'never" annexed or stolen specimens, and that lie had "never" paid la O'd in the £. Ho drow attention to the fact that the word "never" was in three places italicised, and he contended that tho intention ot the writer w«9 to charge incendiarism, theft, aud fraudulent bankruptcy against the defendant, the Go vernment being recommended to strike Bis uame off the list of Justices of the Peace. Ho cited precedents to show that it wasonly for tho prosecution to prove in this Court that the alleged libels had been published. It the case should be sout to the Supremo Court, it would be for the defence there to prove the truth of the statements, and show that their publication was for the public good. The language in the article was very pointed, aud there was no doubt that the intention was to accouse the complainant of incendiarism, theft and fraudulent bank ruptcy. He would put in tho affidavit of the defendant that he was the printer aud publisher of the paper referring to the charge of fraudulent bankruptcy. He said he would show that although Mr Hurst had made au arrangement with his creditors, he had siuce paid tho amounts due to all but two, and to them he con sidered he was not morally iudebtod. Joseph Sykes, a clerk at Mr Lusk's office, deposed to having purchased the papers produced at the publishing otlice. Ho at tended at the Registrar's office, Supreme Court, on the 13th, to procuro a copy of an affidavit filed by defendant as publisher of the paper. He got the copy produced. Mr Tyler culled attention to the imprint of the paper. William John Hurst was then called, and deposed that he was a merchant residing at Takapuna. Ho wus aloo a Justice ot the Peace, and also a member of the House of Representatives' He had seen the article in the " Lance "of March 19th. Tho W. J. Hurst referred to in the articlo was himself. His name had appeared in other publica. tions of the " Free Lance." He kucw tho defendant, and had spoken to him several times abouthis name appearing in thepaDer. Inferentially he admitted that he was con nected with the paper. He repeatedly applied to him for advertisements prior to the appearance of the article complained of. He had never given him one. He threatened to make it hot for him (witness) if ho did not give him an advertisement. On one occasion he threatened to ruin him socially and politically. On the second occasion Mr Wickham said he had already told witness what witness would do with him unless he gave him that ad. He used similar language to that on ou the first occasion. He had not yet compelled witness to give him an ad vertisement. Ho had not spoken to defendact regarding the articlo of March 19th, 1881. The article inferred that he had been guilty of incendiarism, theft and fraudulant bankruptcy with regard to the first, on two occasions, premises occu pied by him were destroyed by lire—once at Coromandel, and once in Queen-street. The premises at Coromandel consisted of a hotel aud store. He was not living on them when they were destroyed. He did not set fire to them hiui self, or get any one else to it. At no time had he any knowledge who sot tire to them. An inquest wa3 held, and the verdict was " No evidence to show how the fire originated." Mr Whitaker contended that they did not charge complainant with incendiarism. Examination continued : He was never charged in Queen-street or in Court with incendiarism. It may have been said in chaff at electioneering times. He once slept in a hotel, the proprietor of which lost a specimen. He saw it in bis hands. Next morning, the landlord asked him if he had it, as he was the last person he remembered having shown it to. He had not taken the specimen. When the landlord was showing it, he was in a state of intoxication. This was 18J or 19 years ago. Owing to the adversity of others, be was compelled three years ago to make an arrangement to pay his creditors 3s 6d in the £. This he paid. The arrangement was made 10 or 11 years ago. He obtained a release from them in full. Since that time he had paid every ono of them, with two exceptions, 20s in the £. There was nothing left iv the estate after the 3s Cd was paid. He did not stock an estate with pigs and cattle with what was left. He was one of the four members who were charged with having ''ratted" last session. Ho had never received any personal consideration for his vote. Mr Tyler said this was all the evidence he would offer at present. 1 The depositions were then read over to the defendant, who reserved his defence. He was committed for trial at the next criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court. Bail was allowed him -1 self in £200, and two sureties of £100 each, I Tho Court then rose.

THE STANDARD INSURANCE CASE.

DUNEDIN, this day.

On the Court re-assembling this morning, the jury in Moiitzson's case said there was prospect of agreement. At Mr Haggett's request, the Judge explained to the jury that they need not acquit or convict on all three counts of the indictment. The jury again retired for a few miuutos. They said on their return that they disagreed ou the first count, and found the prisoner not guilty on tho other two. A long discussion between tho Judge and counsel ensued as to whether or not such a verdict could be recorded. Eventually his Honor decided to outer a verdict of acquittal on the last two counts aud allow prisoner to be tried again ou the first couut. The Judge, in discharging the jury, told them thoy had allowed their sympathies, aud uot their reason, to prevail. Tho three remain ing indictmuntß, and two decided cases were then Adjourned till the July sitting pending tho decision of the Appeal Court. Counsel for the defence strongly urged the prisoner's liberation ou increased bail. The Judge said when the point was reserved after con viction tho question of bail was within tho discretion ot tlie Court, but iv view of the numerous cases of tho kiud he declined tho application.

THE BATTLE FROM THE INJSEK DOMAIN.

Shortly after 2 o'clock 11.M.5. Wolverene was seen rounding Bradley'a Head, the busies rang out shrilly, and the defending force mounted their guns aud took up posi tions for skirmishing, boingcarefully placed by the ollicers. The lirst gun was fired at 24 minutes past 2, and almost directly after lire was opened by the eastern guns of the battery aud the gunboats Keuardand Sand ily on the advancing squadron, which re turned the lire witn their heavy guns. The Wolverene passed Fort Deuiaon a minute or two after andiidvauced towards the Point. As the vessels approached the Point they poured in a heavy lire, woll responded to by the shore forces. Tho Miranda came next to the Wolverene, followed by the Emerald and the Cormorant, the two latter anchoring between Fort Denison and the Point. The Wolverene ami Miranda came on to Farm Cove, and lay oil Government Housekeeping up a warm fire on the Point. Tho bow was fru queutly obscured by smoke, Tho Alert ueared the invaders with a steady lire, and men on her tops kept up a smart riile lire on to the Woiveriue's decks. At intervals the sharp rattle of the gatling guns could be heard mixing with tho boom or the cannon, and the din at times was deafening. It was not till 20 minutes to 3 that the Emerald and Cormorant came up and the latter— the last vessel of the Meet—anchored directly opposite the Chair, when each of the vessels poured in a heavy broadside. Firing then ceased for a moment, but soon after recommenced more furiously than ever. An attempt was made to land a Body of men under a terrific lire, and the laud forces were seen rushing down to the point to repel tho in vaders. A heavy and continuous lire of small arms was kept up. A ilotilla of boats dashed in towards the shore, pouring iv a heavy fire as they went. The shore firing was incessant.'aud the attacking force could not effect a lodgement. The boats left the shore aud retreated towards the vessels rapidly, but iv disorder, firing at intervals, the vossels covering the retreat with a heavy fire. Tho western division w&s tho lirst to retire, but tho other sbou followed, aud the straius of the Naval Brigade Hand could be heard congratulating tbo de fenders on their success. The speed ■with which the bouts retreated showed that there were brawny arms at the oars. An all round fire from the heavy guns of the squadron followed, which appeared to completely silence the loud battery, although it was replied to by the guns of tho Alert. Presently a flotilla of boats again put off from tho vessels, and made for the shore, a raacuilicent tiro of email arms being kept up by the land forces. It was in the highest deqreo creditable to the defending forces, and seemed to keep the foe in check. All at once, however, four steam launches, carrying 120 marines, wero seen steering directly to Farm Cove. They had to pass close under theguns of the Alert and her small arms greeted them warmly. The marines stood in boats and returned this with interest,passing onto the sea-wall on tbo west side of the defended position. 'Aho shore furce crowded down to repel them, and a howitzer battery from the rear of tne detending force was brought to bear on them. The marines landed in good order, however, and separating into jtwo divisions commenced advancing up the hill in skirmishing order. The sight was irresistably suggestive of the " thin red lino " of Kingslake, and it gradually made its way up the rocky side of the point. Meantime the men landed at the point had captured the battery, and driven back the defenders. They advanced along the crest of the ridge and effected a junction with the marine? about midway. The fire was heavy and continuous from each eide, hut the defenders gradually fell back. At last a general advance was made by the invaders, and they swept the ridge clear to the line ,of flags marking the limit of operation?, when the bugle sounded cease firing, and the battle was over. The vessels composing the attacking squadron, were :—The Wolverene, 17 guns ; Miranda, 6 guns ; Emerald, 12 guns; and Cormorant, G guns. The boats sent away for the shore were :—First division : Wol verene-launch, 23 men; Ist cuter, 15 men ; 2nd cutter. 14 men ; galley, 7 men ; Miranda—lst cutter, 26 men ; 2nd cutter, 25 men; Alert—lst whaler, 9 men; 2nd whaler, 9 men ; Beagle—lst whaler, 9 men ; 2nd whaler, 8 men ; Conflict—lst whaler, 9 men; 2nd whaler, 9 men; Naval Brigade, steam launch, 11 men; Ist cutter, 12 men; total first division, 191 men. Second, Emerald—steam pinnace, 21 men; first cutter, 23 men ; second cutter, 22 men ; Cormorant—lst cutter, 15 men; 2nd cutter (steam), 14 men ; Renard, —Ist whaler, 9 men; 2nd whaler, 8 men ; Sandfly, Ist whaler, 9 men ; 2nd whaler, 9 men ; Naval Brigade-four gigs, 40 men ; pinnace, 14 men, 2nd cutter, 12 men : total second division, 196 men. The small boats at first kept in the rear of those furnished with heavy guns, till the shore was nearly reached, and then they dashid to the front and landed their men. This was done well and as far as could be discerned throughthe smoke, tho movement was effected rapidly and in order.

The whole affair was io the highest degree satisfactory and creditable to all concerned, tho evolutions being well carried out, the serving of the gunß admirable and the whole conducted with a view to realistic effect. After a short rest the men torraed in columns of companies, and proceeded by way of Macquarie-strect to Circular Quay, where those belonging to the vessels embarked,and tho others were dismissed. So^far as yet known no accident or mishap has occurred to mar the day's pleasure. The display was, without doubt, the grandest naval spectacle ever witnessed in Australian waters, and was enjoyed by by a concourse of people variously estimated at up to 100,000 persons. From the official programme it appears that the forces which took part in the I engagement were aa follows :—Wolverene, | 17, guns, 335 men ; Emerald, 12 guns, 230 men j Alert, 4 guns, 220 men ; Miranda, 6 guns, 145 men ; Cormorant, 6 guns, 145 men; Alacrity, 1 gun, 35 men; Beagle, 1 gun, 30 men; Conflict, 1 gun, 30 mea ; Sandfly, 1 gun, 30 men. There were also about 300 of the Naval Brigade, in addition to 34 officers. There were thus about 1500 men taking part in the affair, ot whom 400 men formed the defending force, on Mac quaric Point. The defending force was under the command of Captain Maclear, R.N., assisted by Commander Watson, K.N., and Lieutenant Clarke, K.N. That part of the Sydney Naval Brigade which acted with the defence party was under the charge of Captain Hixson, assisted by Com manders Jones and Allen, aud Lieutenants Lewington, Spain, and Deloitte. The attacking boat party was under the com mand of Captain Maxwell, assisted by Commander IJawson in charge of the first division of boats, and Commander Bruce, in charge of the second division. That portion of the Naval Brigade that took part in the attack was in charge of Commander Linde man, assisted by Lieutenants Jackson and

MR ORMOND AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

NAPIEE, Thursday night. Mb Okmomd addressed his constituents last night. He said the General Assembly could not dual with a nurnbor of local ques tions so well as the old Provincial Council did, and tho time wasted in discussing them caused the relegation to Royal Commissioners [oi wdrk which should be done by Parliament, and thcao Connnis.1 sions again have assumed functions properly belonging to Ministers. He approved of the beer tax, but not of. the property tax (of course being a large property-ownor). Ho thought the tax should have been on in come. The property tax had stopped expon nients, as shewn by the large amount of money-seeking investment. He condemned Mr Bryce for throwing over largo areas of valuable native lands, on which advances bud been made, and wlrichpropcrly belonged to the people. Ho agreed with Ministers on tho West Coust uativo plicy up to tho point where they hcuc a mosaago to le Whiti asking him to meet tho Gover nor, which ho considered a mistake He did not agreo with Mr Bryce's proposal to uso force. He (Mr Ormoud) had endea voured to forco tho Government to retrench, aud had been assisted in his efforts by Mr Header Wood and Mr Saundcrs. He would sooner nee an incomo tax and land tax (exempting improvements), than tho pro perty tax, though he objected to the laud tax. Tho land, he agreed, should bear special burdens, but ho thought that in the near future the land would have to bear tho greater part of the cost of the; educa tional system, and all tho burden of tho local works. Ho did uot think the railways were being worked to tho best advantage, and this was shown by the frequency of expressions of dissatisfaction. It was agreed tliat tho Government would not borrow to extend railways, but he thought English capital might be induced to take up the work with proper encourage ment. Ho had helped to work the abolition of provinces, and still thought that, to a certain extent, the extrava gaucy and grab-all policy of some of tho provinces justified it, but ho now thought that in working abolition they made a great mistake. They ought to have amended the then existing system so as to make it more full instead of abolishing it. Ho believed that they would have to revert to a similar system, but modified. The speaker re ceived a vote of confidence.

Indeed, now a-days the worla is almost " em terras deßrechesaes" of learning, "quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in . books. And much of this learninn is liberally ' supplied by modern publishers, such as Cassell, ■ Peiter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a 11 legion of others. Not only are the works I issued by these firms of the highest practioal 1 use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of the remarkable progress that has y been made in book illumination.
