Edward George Sorgadz, a seamau on board the ship Oxford, was charged with committing a violent assault on Thos. Henry Piatt, on the 29th inst. Mr Pardy said this was a most deter mined assault upon the uufortunate steward, by the prisoner at the bar. The stewaid had been so dreadfully kicked and maltreated that he was unable to appear to day.

Remanded for a week.

SUNDAY TRADING.

John Grogan was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act by supplyiug alcoholic liquor to Mary Ryan, on Sunday last, at his hotel, the Queen's Head. Mr Tyler pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy put in the Act and called evi dence. Serjeant Martin deposed that on Sunday he saw a little girl leaving the back of the Queen's Head Hotel,and when she saw him she ran back to the hotel, exclaiming, "here's tho Serjeant; take itln.jtake it in." Some person put outahaud and took it iv. He was certain somo one took it in. Mrs Grogan denied that she took anything of the girl ; Mr Grogan was not present. Presently ho observed Mrs Grogan sprinkle something nt the corner of the lire-place, and immediatery there was a strong smell of brandy, or rum. Mary Ryan said she went to the hotel for rum, but Mrs Grogan refused to supply her, because she had been sold before. She was afraid of the police, nnd ran. She had no bottle. She could not tell why she

was afraid of the police. To Mr Tyler : She told tho polico she had nothing. He took her name, aud she showed him the florin with which she was to have paid for the rum. To Mr Pardy : Did not remember telling Sergeaut Martin it was brandy. Constable Kenyon corroborated. Heard the girl say "Takeit in," and she handed tometliing iv like a medicine bottle. The brandy smelt distinctly. He was positive the girl said it was brandy, and not mm. Mr Tyler said there was no evidence of sale or supply, and he would ask for a dismissal. Mis Grogan aud her sister could testily that there was no supply, but it appeared that the sense of smell iv tho police was keener than other people.". Mrs Grogau deposed that Mr Grogan went to church as usual, and gavo her flic key of the bar, with strict orders that no business should be done. Khe religiously obeyed the order. The girl came for rum, but she positively refused to supply her. She did not take" a bottle from the girl's hand. The constable went in, and suiffed round the rooms, and presently said, ""lis brandy." A lodger had a drop of whiskey, because he was unwell, he might have spilled a little. To Mr Pardy : Could not tell why she ran from the sight of the constables. Sho had been to Mrs Ryan's, merely to ascertain whether she -ha* been sum moned.

His Worship said he should do all the law allowed in putting down Sunday traffic, and in the first clear case before the Court, he should impose a penalty of £20. In the present instance, tho evidence was insnffcient.

Mr Tyler complained of the conduct of the police in bringing such cases beforo the Court without grounds of support.

Mr Pardy said he had nothing against Mr Grogau, but the case was one of suspicion, and he felt it to be hia duty to bring it forward.

SWEEPS, &c. Henry N. Abbott, of the United Service Hotel, was charged that lie did, on the 28th of April, commit breaches of the Licen sing and Municipal Police Acts by suffering a game of chance to be played on his pre mises, and establishing a lottery for money prizes. Mr Laishley appeared for defendant, and pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy explained the case, and put in evidence the necessary documents and gazettes. Samuel Brennan, detective officer, de posed to calling at Mr Abbott's hotel on the 9th April and purchasing a ticket on the Auckland Races (produced), entitling him to something if he drew a lucky ticket. He procured a programme of the events. Had an interest in the race?. Mr Abbott said the draw would take place at the end of that week. The drawing took place on the 16th. Mr Abbott subsequently informed him that the drawing had taken place, but his ticket was an unfortunate one. Did not get a winning horse. To Mr Laiehley : Was not aware that the drawing took place earlier for fear the police might interfere. James Smith, hotel-keeper, of New market, purchased three tickets for £3. Got two prizes. One brought £9, and another £4 10i, the other was a blank. He was perfectly satisfied with the drawing. Was not present. To Mr Laishley: Believed that Mr Abbott's sweeps were always conducted honestly and fairly. Was closely connected with such things. George Andrews, hotel-keeper, of Grey street, drew a lucky ticket for £10 2s 6d. To Mr Laishley: Entertained a high opinion of Mr Abbot. Knew of nothing dishonorable on Mr Abbot's part in connec tion with the BWeeps. Alfred Kidd, Commercial Hotel, won a prize. Did not attend the drawing. Took three tickets.

To Mr Laishley : The drawing is con ducted by a committee of shareholders, and everything was dono in a straightfor ward manner.

Francis Forster had an Interest in a num ber of tickets, but did not get a prize, Had faith in Mr Abbott's fair dealing. Charles Hawkesworth bought two tickets but did not get a prize. Saw in the paper th_t he had not been successful.

Mr Pardy said the police had no doubt about Mr Abbott's honesty, but tho case was brought in order to test the legality of these lotteries. Mr laishley addressed the Court, and before going into the case upon its merits, he would ask, looking at the information, if there was really any case to answer. His Worship said he could not convict upon a defective information, and in the present instance there was no purchaser's name mentioned ; to that defendant had nothing distinct to answer.

Mr Pardy asked that Detective Brennan's name might be inserted. His Worship said he could not permit this in this instance. Mr Laishlur said the case must stand or fall on the ticket. His Worship said it was clear from Mr Justice Johnstone that the charge must be clearly and distinctly stated, and no amend ment could be made in the information. Mr Laishley said it was apparent that the clause of the Act was not aimed at honest men like Mr Abbot. His sweeps had always been conducted in an honourable and honest manner, and there had been no complaints from subscribers. The law was clearly framed for the punishment of those dis honourable men who made off w*,h the proceeds of the sweeps, and thaf kindled the prize-winners out of their mo .ey. In stances of this kind had been reported from the South. He thought the police should withdraw their prosecution of such men as Mr Abbot, and bring before the Bench those others who con ducted dishonest transactions. The law was intended for the punishment of the wicked not of the straightforward. Mr Barstow eaid the English Lotteries Act had been passed to remedy the evil of pur chasing tickets for what were in most in stances State lotteries. So much dishonesty was caused through them, that the Legisla ture found it necessary to put them down. People were incited by lotteries to take money that was not their own, for specu lation. This side of the question was the one most important to the public at large. He could call to mind one painful instance of the evil effect of lotteiies. A prisoner now undeigoing incarceration in Mount Eden gaol owed his sentence to this form of speculation. Mr Laishley said he hoped His Worship would not take one case against 50,000 others in the colony. His Worship, in reply to Mr Laishley, said he had never invested in a lottery during the whole course ot his life. Mr Pardy said it was the simple duty of the police to bring all offenders before the Court, and they were de termined to do it. They were not supposed to act as judges, and they would not attempt to say whether anyone had been guilty ot dishonesty or otherwise. The Act stated that lotteries'must not be held, and offenders would therefore be brought before the Bench. Mr Patdy said that the police were aware of many instances where persons owed their imprisonment at Mount Eden to sweeps and gambling. His Worehip said that there was no

doubt that lotteries such as that held by Mr A bbot were in direct contravention of the Act.

The technical objection raised was fatal, to the case, and it fell through. Mr Pardy said it would certainly be brought forward again. The same defendant was then charged with a breach of the Licensing Act, "by allowing lotteries to be held in his licensed house.

Mr Laishley appeared for defendant, and pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy said that in this case although he could.not say there was dishoucsty, yet ho believed he would be able to show some thing dark in the transaction. The lottery was announced to take placo on Saturday, but it came off ou Friday, aud none of the subscribers appeared to know when it was to take placo.

Tho second charge was then proceeded with, but the evidence of Detective Bronnan was the same as in the preceding case. Thomas Thomas, draper, deposed to the manner of drawing: The numbers were placed in ono box, and the blanks and horses in another. Tho drawing took place at the North Shore.

Mr. Laishley objected ; but His Worship thought the question as to where it took place was relevant.

Witness, on being pressed by Mr. Pardy, said it was at Mr. Abbott's private house". Witness : He and Mr. Barrington were usually appointed at tho drawing ; did not get a prize.

— Barrington, butcher, gavo similar evidence ; was a ticket-holder; did not got a prize; was appointed by the committee. To Mr. Laishley : Never heard any in sinuations against the conduct of these sweeps.

His Worship said tho information was again wrong; the drawing did not take placo at the United Service Hotel; and must bo dismissed on its merits.

Mr Laishley wished to refer to the hint thrown out that the drawing was surrep titious, and to state that Mr Abbott, having the interest of hundreds of shareholders at heart, did not wish the police to step in just at the moment of the drawing and put a stop to it. Michael Gallagher, lessee of the Thistle Hotel, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act liy suffering a ganio of chnnco to be played in his licensed houso on-the 13th instant, viz., drawing by lot for prizes; also with a breach of the Municipal Police Act by establishing a lottery on liis premises for money prizes. Albert Fisher, of the Occidental Hotel, Vulcan Lane, was charged with having committed breaches of the same Acts under exactly the same circumstances. On tho application of Mr A. E. Whitakcr, these cases were adjourned until Saturday next.

BROWN'S GREAT GIFT FUND.

Theodore Brown was charged on sum mons with a breach of the Municipal Police Act of ISGfI, Sec. 17, by disposing of tickets on the 26 th April, by which authority was gained by purchasers to havo an interest in a lottery or scheme, established for prizes of money. The caso was also adjourned uutil Satur day next.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

An adjourned mooting of the Hoard of Governors took placo this morning, there beiug present :—Sir G. M. O'Eorke (Chairman), Judge Fenton, Col. llaultain, Rev. C. M. Nelson, and Messrs Peacock, E. Hesketh, J. M. Clark, Brooklield, and Tole.

BXAMINATIOJt TAPIS i! 3,

Mr Hesketh moved :—(1) " That at all examinations in future, all questions submitted to the boys together with their auswers thereto, be forwurded to the Board by tho examiners along with their report, and that the same be nnd remain the property of the Board. lie said that he moved the resolution ou three grounds, viz., (1) that the Board have a right to see the questions, aud judge whether the standard they disclosed was a high one or otherwise; (2) that, aa the examiners wero appointed and paid by the Board, the remuneration which is given them is a reward for their execution of work done for the Board; and (3) that it is only fair to the examiners that the questions should be forwarded with their report. Mr Fenton said that the effect of the motion would be to increase the difficulty ot obtaining examiners, Many gcutleuieu would be indisposed to accept such nn absolute condition.

Mr Peacock stated his determination to support the resolution. Air .Nelson said that ho should also sup port it. He had been greatly misrepre sented in the matter. He had never ob jected to the exhibition of his examination papers, but he desired simply that they should be exhibited iv his preseuce, in order that he might havo the opportunity of offering any necessary explanations. Mr Clark said that ou the picvious oc casion when the question came up he had refrained from voting upon it, as he wa then unaware ot the custom on the matter, but vow he was prepared to give liis vote for the motion.

The Chairman announced that ou general grounds he would also support the motion. He knew that in the past it had becu fouctl extremely difficult to obtain examiners. Mr Tole held that both custom and prece dent were in favour of the examiners re taining the examination papers. Mr Hes keth replied, whereupon the motion was put and lost on tbe Chairmau's casting vote. Mr Nelson retired while the division was taken, RE NOTICES OF MOTIOIT. Mr Hesketh moved that the resolu ! tion passed by the Board on the 22nd inst, as follows: — ' That Mr Hesketh be informed that notices of motion can only be given by a member himsolf, or by some member authorised by him,' be revoked and annulled; because (a) the same is contrary to the staudiug orderi, and (o)no notice of the intention to move-uch resolution was given at a previous meet ing." "That those members who read Mr Hesketh's written notices of motion, produced at the meeting on the 22ud inst., and, having ascertained their nature > and character voted in effect that tbe same should not be received, deserve tbe censure of the Board for so acting." He said that he had officially sent to the Secretary in time for notice at a previous meeting, several motions enclosed in an envelope. They weie not received in hia absence contrary to the spirit of standing order, No 9, which admitted the adoption of the coureo he had taken. His letter being signed with his name had full and proper authenticity, which was all that was desired ; and the effect of the rejection of his notices was to create a new standing order. He had sent the soiices with his eyes open, aud not as some one had kindly suggested. The second clause of the resolution he moved with full and deliberate knowledgo of what he wn* doing. The members who had pressed his motion before voting their rejection, deserved the censure which he sought to carry against them, but had they been merely looked o»er accidentally, he would not have pro ceeded to this extreme.

The Chairman said that he had not read the motions before voting agaiust their re ception. After fully considering their action since he had been fully confirmed in the justness of it. A member should have the manliness to come to the meeting and present any notice which he had to give. It was preposterous to think that a member could be allowed to send in the most offensive notices that pen could frame in order that they mignt be read out by an officer who in no way could be held respon sible for them. The member should be present in order to receive any rebuke which the Board might think fit to pass for any offensive language or tone that might bo used. He hoped the meeting would sustain the previous decision. Mr Nelson explained that he had un wittingly perused the notices before voting for their rejection. He had stated so at the meeting, but his explanation had not yet been reported. Mr Peacock said that while he was fully of Mr Hesketh's opinion regarding the course to be pursued, be was indisposed to vote for a motion of censure, and he there fore moved, as an amendment, " That the second clause of tbe proposition be omitted." Mr Hesketh accepted Mr Nelson s expla nation. He had heard it now for the first It was then explained that Mr Brookfield had made, at the previous meeting, an ex planation similar to Mr Nelson's, and that the Chairman and Mr Tole had voted in ignorance of the nature of the notices of n:otiou. Mr Hesketh said that he had not been previously aware of the fact. Mr Tole thought, that under these circum stances, Mr Hesketh had earned the censure of the Board in bringing forward such motions as he had that day in utter ignor ance of the facts of the case, and yet after announcing that he had brought them for ward advisedly. Mr Fenton strongly deprecated the action of any member of a public body in moving a vote of censure upon his colleagues as Mr Hesketh bad now on two occasions done. He had not, up to the present, read the notices of motion referred to, but still he could see no principle of honour which should have restrained him from doing so.

It was time that they commenced to give each other credit for honesty and good in tentions, and to accept defeat with a good will whenever it befel them. They could not always be unanimous. A member should havo some regard for his constitu ent".

M r Hesketh remarked that MrTole's argu ment, that he deserved a vote of censure for not knowing men's minds or intentions was a singular one. How was he to have known that they had made these explana tions when it had not been previously stated ?

Mr Tole suggested that enquiry should have been made on the matter.

Mr Clark said that ho would support the amendment, aud vote against the motion if it camo to a vote.

Mr Hesketh announced that after the statements which had been made, he would not press the second clause.

Leave was then given for its omission, aud it was accordingly expunged. Mr Hesketh said in answer to Mr Fenton he might say that he never considered his constituents when acting at the Board. Ho never paused to consider whom ho repre sented. Mr Tole remarked that the observation might hurt the gentlemen iv Parliament, In answer to the Chairman's remark re manliness, Mr Hesketh explained that it was absolutely impossible for him to be present at the meeting to which his notices were sent, but he did the next best thing towards accepting tho responsibility of them, viz,, appending bis name to them.

THE CONDEMNATORY RESOLUTIONS.

Mr Hesketh then moved the scries of con-

denmatory resolutions re tho late inquiry which were printed in our Thursday's issue.

Hcsaidthat this wasthelirst timetlmthchad an opportunity of expressing his opinion upon the evidence taken at the enquiry ro the Purchas Enquiry. Tho proper courso tor tho Board to have pursued after liui.h iug tho Enquiry was to have appointed a day for the final decision, distant enough to have enabled all tho members to arrango to bo present and iv tho meantime to have possessed themselves of the nature of the cvidcuce. Instead of doing (hat, tho Board camo to its decision immediately, nnd in the absence of many members. Ho was travelling by mil

from Auckland at tho time, and happening by chance to obtain a newspaper, lie saw re corded in it the Board's determination. This was the liist intimation he received of it, aud jumping out nt the next station he telegraphed to the Chairman his resolve to do everything to over turn such a hasty and ill-considered decision. When he returned to Auckland, lie obtained from a member of tho Senate, a copy of the circular which ho had em bodied in his resolution, and he imme diately acted upon it. Only a few sittings of tbe Board when conducting the enquiry

had been fully attended, while the reporter's notes hnd only been written out up to the 30th of April, so that no possible opportunity had been given to members to make themselves acquainted with tbe evidence which they had not boon present to hear. Ho contended also that

the Purchas charges for the investigation of which the Enquiry was held were simple matters of fact, and that in goiug beyond

them the Hoard had done that which it had not contemplated in the first instance, and had pasted resolutions upon general mat ters of great importance, of which no notico was given. They could imagine his sur prise whon ho retuniod to liud such sweep, ing resolutious by a party comprised of five gentlemen, two of whom had secured by personal solicitatiou the election of the other five. The fn.t bit of business given these

three to do was the passage of n resolution allirmiug the desirability of obtain. ing a University graduate for the ILad Maßter and iv speaking upon it they (ii<-closcd their knowledge that it was but the fust of a series of similar motions. The first step in tho so-called reform was not to terminate the engagemont of the whole of tho niaßters and preparo tho way for the establishment of a modern school but to get rid simply of one man the Headmaster. That there waia pre-arranged determination to get rid of him was evideuccd by the fact that at this first meeting oue of the new mem bers expressed hisopinion thatthe resolution would lead to the resignation of the Head master, and by the further meeting; that at a subsequent meeting Mr Fenton stated his surprise that it had not had such a result. It was manifestly wrong, on the part of the two members referred to, to nominate gentlemen of their own views, and holding precisely similar opiuious upon a contem plated movement. He asked the Board to retrace its steps and undo what it bad done, and in making that request he fully ad mitted now that ho had made a mi't-ke in asking the Board to undertake the Purchas enquiry, for it bad since been shewn that it was not composed of tho elements enabling it to conduct such an enquiry. The two gentlemen whom he had referred to should not have occupied Beats at tho enquiry. Mr Fenton : You were nominated your self by the two gentlemen referred to.

Mr Hesketh went on to say that he was glad to say that he was unaware who nonii uated him. After expressing commiseration for the case of the three gentli-men who had been elected upon the nomination of the Chairman and Mr Fenton, the speaker went on to speak of the haste with which a decision had been come to ou the Purchas charge*. In this connection he averred that Messrs Brooklield and Fenton were unable to attend the enquiry until the fifth sitting, and that the Chairman bad been unable to attend uutil the ninth enquiry. Yet although the enquiry was finally closed on the 30th of Match, and a decision was come to on the 31st, regardless of the appeal of certain members for time to consider the matter and indifferent to the absence of another. That decision, he woutd state to the shame of the Board, was arrived at when not one-twentieth part of the evidence had been written out.

Mr Peacock said that although he had asked for delay to enable the members of the Board to mature their minds upou the question before voting upon it yet, as the majority had seen fit to decide, otherwise he would not be a party to criticising and censuring the action of individual members. The public was in a position to judge the merits of the matter.

Colonel Haultain explained that at the time the Chairman and Mr Fenton made their nomination he was made acquainted with and acquiesced iv it. Mr Clark said that while he was disin clined to support the motion, he sympa thised with many things contained in it. He then went on to tax Mr Fenton with incon sistency, as displayed by his action re the charges against Mr Tomlinson, whon con trasted with his action in regard to the Purchas' charges. Apart from that the case of Mr Macrae had been pre judged from the beginning, and although Mr Fenton might have been sincere in his desire for reform, yet his action plainly shewed that his mind was made up with re gard to the advisability of getting rid of tho Headmaster as a firat step in that reform. Be had agreed with Mr Fenton that the enquiry into the general management of Mr : Macrae should be conducted by somebody not locally resident basing his opinion upon a variety of grounds ; and with regard to the finding of the Board upon the Purchas charges he was in rhe whole satisfied with it but although much time was wasted upon this Inquiry yet that did not Justify in proceeding with such haste to determino the general questions. This fact had given colour to the opinion which bad since been confirmed in his mind namely that tho enquiry was a mockery and that the die* missal of Mr Mcßae had been pre determined. Two courses had theroupon suggested themselves to him - either to resign his seat or to continue to act in order to do the best he could for a school which he believed would develop into a noble institution. In conclusion ho would s_y that he would vote against the motions as being unneccessarily offensive and aB being of little practical use. Mr Hesketh, in reply, denied that the motion was in any way offensive, although they stated unpalatable truths. The truth, however, could not be offensive. Upon the motion being put it was lost upon the voices, Mr Hesketh's being its only supporter. The motion about withdrawing the notices of dismissal given to masters was then put and rejected, Mr Hesketh alone voting for it. The resolution relative to striking out the minute declaring that the Headmaster shall be a graduate was also defeated, Mr Hesketh and Mr Peacock voting for it. THE PROPOSEO NEW COLLEGE.. Mr Clark's notice of motion on the sub ject was allowed at his request to staud over till the next meeting. RETIRMMBNT OF MR BROOKFIELD. A legal opinion was received from Mr Whitaker to the effect that one of tbe mem bers elected by the University was required to retire from office each election day. A ballot was accordingly taken to decide who should retire, when the lot fell upon Mr Brookfield. PROPOSED EXIENSION OF GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mr Fenton gave notice that he would move at the next meeting, "That applica tion be made to the Government that the Ponsonby Hall be panted as an endow ment tor Grammar School purposes." MR HESKITH'S FUTURE INTENTIONS. Mr Hesketh said—After moving the resolutions which I have to-day, and con sidering the result of them, I will, as Mr Clark has already done, consider whether I

an consistently remain ion the| Board— whether after what has been done the public good requires to tako my defeat and go with-shall I say—the enemies for the future. I Bhall consider that.

Mr Tole : I think that you should have provided us with dinner. Mr Peacock then moved the adjournment of the Board till Tuesday fortnight, at 9 45 a. m.

The motion was passed and the meeting then dissolved.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE BONE MILL NUISANCE.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—A petition was signed by a number of inhabitants in the immediato vicinity of Soppett's bone mill and laid before the authorities, praying tbat steps may bo taken to suppress the intolerable nuisance arising from the mills. The newspaper reports led us to hope something would be done in the matter, but unfortunately the nuisance con tinues quite unabated. The theory that the stench arises from the culvert may be right in a measure, but the noxious exhalations do nit arise from that only, as the stench is oftener worso at some few hundred yards from the culveit than at that spot actually. The smell causes nausea and sickness, head aches, nnd ailments of all sorts, and is steadily increasing in the spread of sickness in the immediate vicinity, for it insinuates itself into the houses, and once there can not be got rid off easily. Habitations in this pretty locality are rendered odious in consequence.—Yours, &c, One Risiding in the Vicinity.

P.S.—I have visited bone mills in other parts of the world, and have found tbe crushing can be carried on well enough without be'mg a nuisance to tho neighbour hood.
