POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Beforo R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

ARDUOUS SPIRITS,

John Murphy aud John Hamilton were fined 5s each, aud John Melia 10s for being drunk last night.

OVER-MARRIED.

Edward Lawlor, alias Lawronco, again appeared in answer to a charge of intending to desert hia wife and family of four chil dren, contrary to the provisions of the Des titute Persons Act, 1877. Mr Tyler appeared m defence, and asked that the order of the Court might be amended and tho amount reduced from 20s to 15?. At tho same time he would ask that six month-' pay might b. paid iuto Court in advance.

His Worship: But at the end of six months, what then ?

Mr Tyler stated further that defendant never had any intention ot going away as alleged. If that be true, such au order would scarcely be necessary. The two boys also, one 12 and the other 10, cxprcis a desire co live with their father, and ho wa-; willing to take them so soon as he could get settled.

Mr Pardy said Mrs Lawlor worked hard for her support and that of the children, and the younger ones were entirely depen dent upon her exertions.

Mr Tyler said the prisoner waa prepared to pay at the rate of 15s per week for 20 weeks, namely, £19 10s.

Mr Graham had suggested tbat the amount should bo handed to Mrs Lawlor by instalments.

Mr Pardy said it would bo best to let complainant havo the lump sum, which would enable her to establish herself iv some small way of business. She had kept herself respectable and properly attended to her family ; hence she was quite capable of being entrusted with the money.

Mr Tyler asked what was to hs done with the children if Mrs Lawlor failed in establishing a business. His Worship said defendant would not be responsible, and he would see that the money was not wasted. He would make an order that the six months in advance be paid into Court. ANTAGONISTIC BridgetFrcnchwas charged with wagging her tongue unduly towards Janet Power, and from which came forth words unseemly and adjudged obscene. Mr Edward Cooper appeared for defen dant, and pleaded not guilty. His Worship suggested that, owing to the fearful language imputed by defendant, all decent persons and witnosses should leave tho Court,

Janet Power, wife of Win. Power, knew Mrs French. She was in Mr Mcintosh's allotment, when defendant used most awful language towards her and her husband. It was on the evening of the 2nd inst. Similar language had been used at iutervals for the last six months.

To Mr Cooper : It was not in the street where the words were.used, but iv the allot ment which she had been using. Mr Pardy asked that the information might be amended to " withiu the hearing of persons passing," but Mr Cooper objected on the ground that such would constitute a different offence.

His Worship ruled in favour of the amendment.

Mary Ryan, wife of James Ryan, deposed tbat on Saturday evening she saw Mrs French from her back door. Mrs French was going it at an awful rate. Her lan guage was alarming. She heard it from Liverpool-street. Witness repeated some of the words, which are unfit for publication.

To Mr Cooper: Did not know tho depth of her frontage, nor the dimensions of her tenement. The language was addressed to Mrs Power. They were all on private pro perty, but the words could be heard at a long distance.

Wm. Power, a mechanic, deposed to tho offence. He had been frequently assailed by Mrs French with the most filthy expres sions, and without any reason within his knowledge. Mr Cook also heard the words, but he should be sorry to have him here. It was objectionable,

Mr Cooper : There must have been a cause for the alleged offence.

Mr Power : Oh, yes I It was all about Mrs Fiench's ducks, that dabbled in a dirty pool close to my door. The stench from this pool became offensive aud I spok. quietly to Mrs French w hen she flew up and threatened me, using the language complained of.

Elizabeth Connors gave affirmative evi dence in favour of complainant. Tlie words of Mrs French were so shocking that she went in, shut the door, and lay down on her couch.

Bridget Burns knew the parties, but did not know anything about tho row, nor did'nt want to.

Mr Pardy: Don't you know anything about it ?

Witness: Not a blessed bit, and faith, I don't want.

Mr Cooper briefly addressed the Court, and called rebutting evidence.

Bridget French deposed that she lived in Rokeby-street, and went into a long state ment of her grievances, half of which could not be distinguished ; but, in effect, it was a complete denial to the charge. (Paper containing the words produced.)

Witness : It's no use putting the paper under my nose : I can't read. Mr Cunningham then came forward with

the view of reading them in a low voice to witness.

Mrs Fronch : I'm fearfully deaf; you must speak out. Mr Cunningham raised his voice, and on catching a few words, Mrs French lifted up tier oyos, exclaiming, " Oh, my ducks, good heavens, 'its orful; niver, niver did Bridget French sphake afther this manner.''

Elizabeth Squirrel and Thomas Beach wore engaged in their ordinary pursuits, Mrs Squirrel in feeding her fowls, aud Mr Beach in painting his oart. They heard a noise, but knew nothing of the cause.

Mr Pardy said had this been a simple fuarrel between Mrs French and Mrs 'ower it would have beon of small im portance, but Mra Fronch was a nuisance to the neighbourhood, and the language had been continued through the day, hence the police took the matter up. The Court found defendant guilty, and ordered her to pay 40s, with costs 275, or iv default, one month's imprisonment. Mary Ryan was charged with shewing her teeth to Bridget French, of Rokeby-street, and swearing by St, Patrick that she would "do for her" in a speedy and efficient manner.

On hearing the charge, defendant, a atout, full-grown lady, exclaimed patheti cally " Oh Lord J" Bridget Fronch narrated tho story in her own Hibernian manner. Said Bridget : She called me aw . (Mrs Ryan ; Good Lord I) Bridget: She caught up some thing —I wont say what— and threatened to kill me with it. My life's in danger. (Mrs Ryan : Oh, Goodness 1) William Thomas Mincham stated that in his opinion Mrs Ryan was the subject of much persecution. The atmosphere was permeated with discordances, as if troubled with evil spirits. Whenever thunderings reached his ear, ho turned in and shut the doors.

Five other witno3ses were examined, but knew nothing definitely, Mr Cooper said it was a hopeless case. The witnesses for tho defence were deter mined to know nothing. His Worship : They speak bad French. He must dismiss the case.

This was all the business.

CORRESPONDENCE.

NAVAL BRIGADE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l am sorry to havo to make any com plaint, but justico to the oificers and men who I have the honour to command de mands that I should. I have kept silence longer than otherwise, because I am generally at fires myself, but not hearing the bells I was absent at the last ono, therefore write with more freedom. Some years ago the A.N.B. determined to attend fires and as«ist in whatever way their services should be required, under the command of their own officers. For a time they wore the whole of their uniform, then, if a Bhip of war was in harbour, her crew often had tho credit of assisting at the fire and the A.N.B. ignored, when there may not have been a man left the ship for the scene of the fire. Lately they have been ignored, while all other bodies of men have been mentioned. True, they wear only s portion of their uniform, but sufficient for the police to know them and not interfere with them, while they oblige others to stand back. At the recent fire in Queen - street they worked from the commencement of the tiro till after seven o'clock, when they had to leave to get dry clothes and their breakfast, previous to commenc ing their ordinary day's work. I arrived that morning at the fire in time to assist in removing Mr Payne's goods, and among the rest were two of the Thames is aval Brigade in uniform. I wore my uniform coat, but Lieutenant Paiker and Sub- Lieutenant Smith were in civilian's drcs3. The Police, Firo Brigade, and Salvage Corps were all mentioned, but the Naval brigade were out in the cold. At Messrs Jagger and Parker's fire they worked hard, hot were again ignored; on the occasion of

the roof of Mr Firth's house catching lire in | Waterloo Crescent, men of the A.N.B. j 1 were passing the water, but the same treat ment ; the crowning piece of neglect and misrepresentation was at Mr Bedell's' Bowery lire: A portion of tho Naval Brigade were early at the lire, and working under, Sub-Lieutenant Smith. It was by their exertions that tho building next the Brewery was saved, in doing which they emptied three wells of water. Tho credit of this is given to another hard-working body of men, and the Naval Brigade not mentioned,—i am, &c, E. Leßov-, 11th May, 1881. Captain, A.N.B.

NEW PLYMOUTH HARBOUR WORKS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The disclosures re the Harbour works at New Plymouth, Taranaki, arc ouly events whose shadows were cast before them years since. The £200,000 loan is being rapidly spent, and the denouncement is to come. The sanguine ideas held by settlers three years since, that the Harbour Works were going to enhance tbe value of their lands 50 per cent, are being dissipated liko the morning cloud, and the early dew. The time for payiug up is advancing, when that little tax of one shilling in tho £ rateable value will be levied. The result—depreciation in the value of property all over the district taxed. Twelve thousaud per annum to be found for interest exclusive of sinking fund by some six thousand of population, or a few hundred ratepayers, and nothing to shew for it. The acconut stands at present approximately : Loan raised, £200,000; cost of raising loan, £15,000; amount spent, about £30,000; expenses for plant, £22,000; cement ordered, £50,000; casks to be landed at £171 per cask, say £-12,000 ; or some £110,000 spent or indebted, leaving a balance of £90,000 to complete 440 yards of a concrete breakwater. The amount of work performed at present is the "root," if the breakwater has been commenced, but not yet completed, the "trnnk" and "branches" arc yet to bo added. But by the time the whole of this is completed, estimated to cost from £750,000 to a million of money, the settlers will be " up a tree."—Yours, &c, VIATOIt.

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—With reference to the opening of the above during certain hours ou Sundays, the question naturally arises" Why was it opened at all 1" Most people will answer, for the purpose of raising all who may take advan tage of it morally and intellectually. If tlii. was the object (and there is no proof to the contrary) lor six days iv the week, by what course of reasoning can it be shown that the opposite will be the result if opened during certain hours ou Sundays, so as to oiler no temptation to remain from church, though even in that case the time might be more profitably employed than listening to many of our prosy preachers? It is quite possible to bo righteous over much—aud miss the mark—and if our public library was turned into a place of purely religious and bible reading, it would cease to he of public benefit. Our admirable school system is in danger of being ruined in the same mauner, and surely your correspon dent who suggests the openine of yet more looms for Bible reading, &c, has never reckoned the number of churches aud chapels in and around Auckland, or whether a public library or a public-house is the safer of tbo two.—lam, &c,

Of-n the Library.

A prompt course of action on the stage is positively useless. It is superlatively neces sary to have a "Prompter !'' Army Reform,—Corporal punishment is to be abolished, but every inducement is to be held out to Privates for obtaining the Stripes. Fears have been expressed that Mr Daniel Sullivan, miner, well-known at the Thames and Coromandel, was aboard the Tararua. Others, however, say that he left by steamer direct for Sydney. The office ot the Auckland Gas Co. has been removed from Queen-street to Fort street.

Mrs Newton, a passenger for Auckland by the Orient steamer Potosi, who, accord ing to a cablegram received last night, has met with a fatal accident, is the wife of au engineer at Gisborne, who came to the colony by the Orient lino two months ago. The Waikato police have laid three in formations against Mr Shepherd, a Whata whata settler, charging him with ill-using John Muir and Elizabeth Hill, children from the Home fur Neglected Children. The charges include cruel beating aud neglecting to provide proper food. .17 scrip in the Waikato G.M.

Scarlet tever which is very prevalent in Auckland, has hroken out at the Thames. The disease is chiefly propagated through the public schools; and parents having cases in their houses should keep the other children away. The sum of £1,600 has been received in Sydney from natives of the South Sea ls« lands as {contributions to tho Now South Wales Bible Society.

A petition of Wellington residents to their City Cenncil praying to have the Con tagious Diseases Act brouget into operation within the borough, alleges that Welling ton, with its population of 20,000 is more immoral than Melbourne with Its 250,000 inhabitants. The memorial has been refer red.to tho Minister of Justice with a.rec commendatiou that he should tako strong measures to suppress the immorality com plained ot. A wag suggests tbat a suitable opening for many choirs would be "Lord have mercy on us, miserable singers." The most afflicted part of a houso is the window. It is full of panes; and who has not seen more than one window blind ?

The leases ot a number of Hamilton Domain lands were offered on Saturday last but were all passed in at the upset price except Lot 11, Hamilton West, bought by Mr James Hume at 12s 6d per acre, being an advance of 2s 6d upon tbe upset price. If the Boer accounts are to be relied upon, their losses up to the present time are not much more than 100 men, while those of Her Majesty's army (killed, wounded, and prisoners included) cannot be muchle»s than ten times tbat number. Lady Roberts will accompany General Sir Frederick Roberts to South Africa. The New York " Times " says tbat over 4,000,000 dols. is invested in peach orchards along'the Hudson, and nextseason 5,000,000 trees will be in bearing.

"Civilization, my son, is blowing your enemy to pieces with a bombshell at a range os four miles. Barbarism is knocking his brains out at arms-length with a brutal club!"

A lady was onco travelling by stage in the Catskill mountains, and stopped for. the night at an out-of-the-way country inn. She was tired with her journey and slept late ill the morning, not responding to the first call for breakfast.
