was associated, preferring to wait until another Government opposed to him came jpto power. Referring to, the £300, paid in connection with the Imperial pensions, he reminded them that there was an express stipulation by the then Premier that if Dr. Pollen gave up the £300 voted by the House and took it in connection with the Imperial pensions, the fame should not militate against his pension. Under theie circum stances, it would be most unjust to refuse to couDt the £300 in computing the amount of the pension. Mr Montgomery spoke ia favour of the case now before the House being dealt with on its merits.

Mr Wood said that, with every desire to see Dr. Pollen succeed, he could not bring himself to feel that he had any lagal claim. He thought the amendment ought to have been tacked onto thamotion, as he believed all felt disposed to see both carried. They were now paying at the rate of £18,000 for pensions, and bat for the action of certain members, he believed nearly half the colo nial revenue would have been swallowrd up. He felt satisfied that unless a watch ful eye was kept on these matters, the con sequence would lie moat disastrous. Was it not monstrous to think that when tHey could not find a few pounds to makb roads and bridges, they could find money to roll into the laps of civil servants who had been all along well paid for their work? Such being the case, he was perfectly astonished to find Ministers supporting such very Questionable proceedings, and trying to throw the blame on the absent man, Sir Julius Vogel, whose conduct ia the matter, however improper, hid been fally t endorsed by Ministers. ', ,Mr MpsS said what did this claim mean ? They had heard about this £300 for Imper ial pensions. It meant shortly that Dr. Pollen got £300 a year, for, he ventured to say, merely pigoiag hia name not oftener than three times a year, and it was for these Very modest services the colony was asked to pay him £150 per annum. They all ad mitted that this arrangement with Sir J. Vogel was made. He wanted to know on ■what ground of equity the colony could be called to endorse that illegal act? He hoped the House would not allow the re markable report of the committee to be shelved by, carrying the amendment. Mr Stewart contended that the Act relied upon was never intended to apply to the case of a Bemi-professional politician like the claimant in this case. What were the facts? He took the position of a civil servant, and' then went into the Govern ment. Finding he was unpopular as a Miiiister, he went back to the service, and continued going and coming between politics and the service until lie thought it time for him to retire upon an ample pension. The Act never contemplated such cases as this. He did not desire to cast any reflection on Dr Pollen, but he thought this question should be dealt with separately and on its own merits;

Sir W. .Fox said that from the speeches made it was clear that the motion, if carried, would simply be a vote of censure on the Government. Such being the case, that determined him in favour of the amend ment rather than the motion.

Tlio Hon. Mr JOHNSTON said that they had to bear in mind that the £300 salary conferred on Dr. Pollen did not increase in any way the total salaries he was in receipt of. In a return made in 1872, Dr. Pollen Was described as a civil servant, entitled to retire in 1875, at sixty years of age, on a pension of £400 per annum. Now, could it he contended that that right was to be fore gone simply because he should choose to take a portion of his salary from a different source ? The arrangement for payment of the £300 was simply made for the convenience ot the colony. He was not prepared to say that Sir W. Fitzherhert and Mr Gisborne's pensions were altogether legal, but Dr Pollen's was a stronger case than theirs. He would like, however, to see the question of these two Deneions sifted.

Mr Lkvkstam would vote on the amend ment. Solicitude had been shown to protect the public moneys from irregular disburse ment. In view of that he would recommend for investigation the sum of £300 paid to Mr Keeg.

Mr Ballance admitted that as a ques tion of equity Dr. Pollen had an undoubted claim to a pension. The question of legality, however, had to be considered, and there the difficulty lay. He conceived that Dr. Pollen had strong equity claims, which the House should proceed to validate.

The_ blouse divided on the question that the original motion be adopted. ■ -~ The following is the division list—Ayes, 31; noes, 38. Ayes: Messrs Andrew?, Ballance, Barron Brown, JJ eLautour, J. B. Fisher (Buller), J. T. Fisher (Heathcote), George, Grey, Messrs Harris, Hutchison, Jones, . Kelly, Luodon, — IMaoandrew, McDonald, Montgomery, Moss, Keeves, Reid, Shepherd, Shrirnski, Speight, Stewart, Swanson, Taiaroa, Tawhia, Thomson, Tole, Turnbull, Wood.

Noes: Allwright, Atkinson, Bain, Bee tham, • Bowen, Brandon, Bryce, Bunny, Colbeck, Collins, Dick, Fox, Fulton, Gibb3, Hall, Hirst, H. Wallace, Hursthouse, John ston, Levestam, Levin, Mason, McCaughan, McLean, Murray, Olliver, Rolloston, Saun ders, Seymour, Shanks, Stevens, Stud holme, Sutton, Trimble, Wakefield, Wes ton, Whitaker, Whyte, Wright. Pairs.—Ayes: Messrs Pyke, Wallis, Seddori, Hamlin, and To Wheoro. Noes : Messrs Russell, Richardson, Pitt, Kenny, Tomoana, and Saunders. The amendment then became the substan tial motion, to which

Mr J. B. Fisher moved the following addition :—" Provided that until the report of the Public Accounts Committee has been brought down to the House on the addi tional pensions, no payment sha'l be made on account of the pension already reported on." He thought what had been said that night showed the inefficiency of our audit system. : .

Mr SwANSOK thought the payment of all pensions should be stopped until the whole of the items had been enquired into. Mr Fisher's amendment was then by consent altered so as to direct that no fur. ther payments of pension be made to Dr. Pollen, Sit W. Fitzherbert, Mr Gisborne, or Mr Domett until the committee had re ported _on their cases; the committee to report in three weeks.

Mr Hall accepted this, and Mr Saonders' motion as amended was agreed to. The House rose at 12.40 a. m.

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY.

THE PENSIONS,

It is thought that the result of Mr FisheJ's amendment re Dr. Pollen's pension carried last night, will probably end in the pensioners referred to getting a title to their pensions, but that the Accounts Commit tee will bring down some definite proposal dealing with the whole question of pensions and placing the mattet on some proper foot ing,

RECEPTION COMMITTEE.

THE Committee appointed to arrange for the reception of the Princes on their arrival in Auckland, met yesterday afternoon, His Worship the Mayor presiding. Letters were received from several gentlemen, re questing that their names might be taken off the Committee, as they would not be able to attend the meetings. The Guar an tee Committee reported that they had canvassed the town, and had been promised £450. It was decided to send circulars to gentlemen in the country likely to sub scribe, and the committee was requested to continue its canvass. Some discussion took place on the advisability of including a trip to the Hot Lakes in the programme. Mr McMillan said that he had been in formed by Mr Graham, that the trip from Cambridge to the Lakes could be accomplished in seven hours. Mr Lurkins considered it would be a mistake to have the trips to the Lakes, which would absorb all the time allotted for their stay in Auckland, and the majority of the people at Dargaville said the feelings of their guests should be con sidered, and the question was what words lie most agreeable to the visitors. Mr McMillan said that Mr Mackie, coach-builder, had offered to place several bnggies from his establishment at the dis posal of the Committee during the Btay of the Princes in Auckland. He had. seen the equipages, and they were excellent. It was decided to open an account at the Bank of New Zealand, and the prices of the tickets for the ball were fixed at a guinea for gen tlemen and half-a-guinea for ladies, the number of tickets to be limited tv 500. The ball committee is convened for Monday afternoon, at half-past 3 o'clock, to elect its executive and sub-committees. An execu tive committee, consisting of the gentlemen present, whose names ate given above, was appointed. The executive committee is convened to meet on Thursday next, at 3 o'clock, at the offices of the City Council.

Contact with a high-minded woman is good for the lite of any man.—Henry Vincent.

Consolation misapplied : " You must feel lonely since your husband went away," consolingly observed a neighbour to her ady friend." "Not at all," she replied, 'it is the first holiday I have had since I Was a schoolgirl."

SUPREME COURT.

—Yesterday.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) THE TATJRAHGA BANK CASE.

The hearing of the evidence in the prosecu tion of William Henry Barfield, for assault ing the manager of the National Bank, at Tauranga, with intent to commit a robbery, was concluded at 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr Mo3S raised a technical objection to the form of the in dictmentjbut it was overruled. His Honor summed up, leaving it to the jury to say whether the prisoner had intended to rob the Bank. Supposing Ellis's statement to be true, the intention was manifest, but the prisoner then had gone about his pur pose in a blundering sort of way. The jury brought ia a verdict of "guilty," and Mr Moss then addressed the Court in palliation of the prisoner's con duct, subsequently callius? Sergeant White to give evidence as to character. The Sergeant said that he knew nothing else against the prisoner. He had resided in Tailranga for twelve months, and had been married seven months; His Honor; in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been convicted on the clearest evidence of the crime with which he was charged. It wa3 evident from the facts that he was no accomplished burglar, and it was equally evident that the temp tations of poverty had urged him on to his criminal design. If it were simply the duty of the Bench to deal out punishment as a kind of chastised ment of the guilty person he would give the prisoner a comparatively light sentence in view of the whole circumstances, and the fact that he was no practised burglar; biit as the object of punishment was also to deter others from committing similar offences, he felt that he would not be doing; his duty if he did not deal out a severe sen tence. He would not be doing his duty to the public at large, and especially to those in charge of valuable property, if he did not so punish tlie prisoner that others might be deterred frorii following his evil example. The prisoner -was then sentenced to four years penal servitude.. The Court rose at 4.30 p;m.

THIS DAY.

(His Honor took iris seat at 10 o'clock.)

SERIOUS ASSAULT.

■ Edward George Sorgatzj a seaman, belonging to the ship Oxford, was charged with having on the night of the 29th of April last, assaulted a fellow seaman named T. H. Pratt, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prisoner, who was defended by Mr J. C. Bassett, pleaded "not guilty." The Crown Prosecutor briefly opened the case; and then evidence was taken. Constable Arthur Dews deposed that at 12.30 o'clock on the night of April 29, while on duty at the bead of Queen-street wharf, he heard cries of "police" and " murder" some distance lower down the wharf. He hastened in the direction of the cries, and, after going some distance, was intercepted by a man who ran into his arms completely exhausted. His face was bathed in blood, arid his features were quite undis tinguishable. He recognised him, however, as a seaman named Platt, whom a quarter of an hour previously he had seen walking down the wharf arm-in-arm with prisoner. Platt had no sooner reached him than the prisoner appeared in full chase. _ Witness at once secured him. Upon being asked for an explanation of the affair, Platt said that he and the prisoner were shipmate?, and that they had been talking of the broaching of cargo on the voyage out and other matters. In the course of conversa tion the prisoner told Platt that he should be careful how he went^about the streets, as some of the sailors might set on him. l?latt said he had a revolver, but that it was not loaded. The prisoner asked Platt to pro duce it, and the latter, on shewing it, had it immediately torn from his grasp, where upon the prisoner began beating him about the head with it, and then, after knocking him down, commenced kick ing him. To this statement the prisoner mado no demur. He merely remarked that he made it a practice to knock any man down who showed him a revolver. Wit ness inquired why he was following the man, and prisoner answered, " To give him some more." The revolver was found in Platt's pocket, and he said that the pris oner must have replaced it there. This the prisoner denied. Constable Graham came to his assistance, and with his help the prisoner was conveyed to the lock-up. Henry Graham deposed that on the night in question he was on the beat extending from Shortland-Btreet to the Thames Hotel. While standing at the corner of Shortland-street he heard screams proceed ing from the wharf, and on running thither found the man Platt and the prisoner with Constable Dews. Piatt's face was covered with blood. The witness also corroborated the evidence ot Constable Dews, with reppect to Platt's statement. Constable Alexander MeGilp, Lock-up Keeper at the Police-station, deposed that on visiting the cells on the morning of the 30th of April he noticed on the steel tips of the prisoner's elastic-side boots traces of blood intermixed with mud. (Boots pro duced and identified.) Chas. Edward Cooper, House-Surgeon at the Hospital, deposed that on the morning of the 30th of April, Constable uraham brought a man named Platt to the Hospital. Platt had two cuts near the right eye, one above and one at the side, besides a con tusion, a slight contusion on the chest and an enormous contusion about the left eye, looking just as if he had been bitten there. He treated the wounds at once. . The cut at the side of the eye might have been caused by the steel tip of a boot. The man remained in the Hospital for four days, and was then discharged. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Bassett then addressed the jury for the defence, after which his Honor summed

up. The jury, after a.few minutes' dclibera tioa, returned a verdict. " Guilty ot unlaw fully wounding," Sentence was deferred.

ALLEGED BREAKING AND ENTEBING.- „ John Archibald Elliott, a young man of respectable appearance and dress, was ar raigned upon an indictment charging him with having, on the 17th May last, broken and. entered the shop ot George Foster, boot and Bhoemaker, of Grey-street, and stolen therefrom a number of boot uppers, etc. There were two other counts of receiving and stealing respectively. The prisoner pleaded "Not guilty." Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the de fence.

After a brief opening address from the Crown Prosecutor,

George Poster, who deposed that he was a boot and shoe manufacturer, carrying on business in Grey-street, was examined. He deposed that the prisoner, who was a " bench hand," had been 2$ years in his employ. The factory was closed up at 5 o'clock on the evening of the 17th of May, all the outer doors—two in number—being secured in the usual way, viz., locks. Walker, a journeyman in his employ, was with witness at the time, and they left the pLice together. Ho reached the factory at 7.3oo'clockon the following morning, meet ing Walker on the way, who told Mm something which caused him to make an examination of the building. A pane of glass .iv one of the windows was found broken, all the windows being so con structed, as to swing up into a horizontal position on pivots. Six pairs of men's elastic-side uppers, one pair of kid uppers, and eight pairs ot ladies' kid uppers, which were in the store on the previous evening, were discovered to bo missing. He gave information of the robbery to the police. Ths prisoner was at work that morning, and also in the afternoon. After being charged at the Court with the offence, prisoner told him that he had not taken the uppers, and asked witness to give him a " show." He also wished witness "to go bail" for him, but witness declined to do so. : ' To Mr Hesketh : tie had never previously had reason to suspect the prisoner's honesty. Thos. Henry Walter, journeyman, in the employ of last witness, deposed that on the evening of the 17th of May he locked the back door of the factory, and took the key home with him, while Mr Foster locked the fiont door. He returned ,to work at 7 o'clock on the following morning. He noticed that a 40 feet ladder was standing upright against a lean-to at the rear of the Cook-atreet Oddfellows' Hall, and that the factory window immediately above the lean-to was open as well as two other windows. These windows he had Boen secured on the previous evening, On examining them closer he perceived that the rope which fastened the -window above the lean-to had been cut •with some sharp instrument. Subsequently the loss of the boot uppers was reported to him. . . Laurence Solomon, foreman to ;Mr Neumegan, pawnbroker, of Queen-street, gave evidence as to having received four boot uppers (produced) from the prisoner on the night of the 17th ot May, in con sideration of Ss, which witness advanced him. He gave his name as Khodes. On the following afternoon the prisoner came back to the shop, when witness exclaimed, "Holloa! old fellow, have you got any more boot uppers?" The prisoner said something to [the effect that he did not know witness.

To Mr Hesketh : Detective Brennan had been in the shop that morning touching the robbery, and witness had then described the prisoner's appearance to him. The detective re-entered the shop in the afternoon, a minute after prisoner, he went away with him again. Joseph Hart, pawnbroker, stated that he purchased eight boot uppers (produced) from the prisoner for 133. He subse quently sold them [to Moore, a boot and shoe maker. Detective Brennan was examined and gave evidence as to the arrest; Mr Hesketh opeued the case for the de fence and then called Peter O'Shaughnessy, brother-in-law of the prisoner. He deposed that the prisoner lived wfth him, at his residence, Clarence street, Ponsonby. He saw the prisoner at home on the night of the 17th May. The prisoner left the house about 7.2). (Left sitting.)

A little girl saw him take the tobacco from the window and told Bourke. The prisoner returned the tobacco.—His Worship said he did not wish to send an old man to prison.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE PROPOSED VISIT OF THE PRINCES TO THE LAKES.

(To the Editor.)

SlE,—Seeing that you are in want of infor mation respecting the road, and length of time it would take for the young Princes to visit the Lakes and Rotomahana Terraces, I beg to supply the following information : —By leaving for Tauranga in the Welling, ton on a Tuesday at 5 p.m. they could be at Ohinemutu on Wednesday evening—on Thursday visit the Terraces; return to Ohinemutu the same evening, have a ball and war-dance on Thursday; on Friday return to Tauranga, arriving in Auckland by steamer on Saturday morning early ; or, start on Thursday and return on Tuesday. By overland they could start of 8.30 in morning, arrive at Cambridge in the after noon ; drive next morning. to Tapapa (twenty seven miles' ride), seventeen miles, of which thirteen miles is partly through the bush ; drive from Awa liou seven miles to Ohinemntu. Next day do the Terraces ot Kotomahana ; ball and war dance. Next day return to Cam bridge, and the ■ following day arrive in Auckland. The cost would be a trifle more by Cambridge. There is no difficulty in going by TauraDga. Covered coaches and good horses reach Ohinemutu easily in one day, and in the present weather this would, undoubtedly, be the most re; liable way. Arrangements for either route could be made by getting twenty-four hours' notice. —Yours, &c, K. Graham.

GOSSIP IN THE LOBBIES.

(From a' Correspondent),

WELLINGTON, this afternoon,

The dissensions in the Cabinet are patched, not healed. Last night Ministers scored a victory. They got Pollen's pension mixed with others, in which the law has been strained, but without pretence of jobbery. Dr. Pollen is admitted on all -hands to be a great job so far as the Imperial paymastership is concerned, but Sir W. Fox, Mr Saunders and others were anxious to scare Ministers, who declared they would regard Mr Speight's motion as a vote of • censure, and made it a party question, hence the Amend ment.
