To Mr Macrae : He had been told by Mi- Macrae that there were exceptional diffi culties in regard to classification; for instance, the large number in the upper school, which would only bo temporary. He had been shown by Mr Mncrae plans of previous years' studies. Did not remember Mr Macrae having spoken to him regarding the internal arrangements of the school. He had been spoken to in referenco to this inquiry, but not in auy way so as io pre judice him. Only two meinbeis of tho JJoafd had spoken in the matter, and that very slightly. It was only in reference to evidence which appeared in the paper. Mr Nelson end Mr Fonton were tho members who had spoken—tho lat ter two or three miuutes previ ously. Had ouly been introduced to Mr Fenton at the evening adjournment, and that w«s the only occasion upon which he had spoken to him. The conversation only lastcJ a few minutes.

Being further prei-sod, tho witness said he had been in conversation with Mr fenton for rather more than half-au-hour, but they only talked about general matters. Col. Haultaiu said he would object to this style of examination. Mr Fenton taid Mr Macrae evidently wished to show that he had put Mr Gulliver up to the cvideuce which he was to give. Mr Macrae said he had no thought of such a thing.

Mr Feu ton explained that tlic convera tion was on various topics. Examination coutinucd by Mr Macrae : Many of the boya who matriculated in the Calcutta University stayed on at the school at Lahore. As a rule, they did not go on with the University course. The matricula tion thcro was somewhat similar to the New Zealand University matriculation. The boys from the College of Lahore would certainly not have sufficient attainments to take the degrees at Cambridge and Oxford, if so allowed, straight oil, Thero were extra subjects which they would have to study outside the ordinary school curriculum. They would be sullicieutly far advanced iv English and Classics. By Mr Nelson : The occasion when ho hadcouvcniiition with Mr Nelson was when he had gone to his house with his wife to enquire iv reference to Mrs Nelson's health. He was in the house about a quarter of an hour, and he believed the only thing he said in reference to the enquiry was to ask if lie was likely to he called as n witness. He \va9 sure that Mr Nelsou did uot try to influence him in auy way.

To Mr Hesketh : Had Mr Nelson cudea vourcd to inlluencc him, ho did not think he would have succeeded.

This concluded the evidence of the witness, aud he was duly thanked for Ins attendance and withdrew.

Tho next witness called was Mr E. Psisohb, but it was found that during the examination of Mr Gulliver he bad goue away. The Chairman stated that Mr Woymouth and his son, having declined to attend, the only remaining witnesses ou the list sup plied by Dr. Purchas wero Messrs Vaile and Parsons.

Mr Tole objected to the manner in which the inquiry was proceeding. Dr. Purchas only gave one or two names every day, and the work was simply cut out for each sitting. He thought that the Board was badly treated, and they should call on Dr. Pnrchas to submit a list of the names of his witnesses, iv order that the charges made by him might bo inquired into Dr. Purcbas : They are not my charges ; they are the Board's.

Colonel Haukain : Dr Purchas has made certain charges. Dr. Purchas : They are not my charges. 1 have objected to the position which lias been ihrust upon me all along. Mr Hesketh said the Board should simply ask Dr. Purchas to facilitate the progress of the inquiry by giving the Jioard the names.andlettiug it try to obtain tiie attend ance of witnesses. If lie refused, then lie was not doing his duty to them.

Mr Peacock said lie understood at a previous sitting that the whole of the names v;ere to be handed in to the Board.

Dr. Purchas said bo had a strong objec tion to allowiug the names to be known before they had the powers of Commission.

Mr Hesketh moved that Dr. Purchas be requested to give the list of the muncj to the St cretary. Dr. Purchaa enquired why the Board could not find out tho witnesses.

Mr Tole : The Board did nut make the charges. Dr Purclias: Nor did 1 make them. I have been dragged into the enquiry against my will. Colonel Haultaln : Yon had an oppor tunity of withdrawing.

Dr Purchaa denied this. He was quite willing to go, and he would like to get out of the enquiry altogether.

Kvcntually Dr Purchas promised to give the names to Mr Jaaic3, the Secretary, and the Board then adjourned to meet at four o'clock to-day, Messrs Pamons and Vaile to be summoned to attend in the meantime.

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., K.M.)

IXEBRIATFS.

Four persons were punished for drunk' cuness.

A STREET FIGHT,

Matthew Carroll and Thomas W. Berry were charged under the Vagrant Act with fighting iv Grey-street on the evening of the 7th iust.

Mr Pardy stated the case. Carroll said he was simply acting ia self defence. Constable Clarke said the two men were vigorously fighting until both went to the ground. Carroll seemed to be on, the defensive. A witness named Smith deposed to seeing the fight from his cottage verandah. The young man was striking Carroll, and faying " I will have this old man's daughter." He Interfered on the part of the elder prisoner, when Berry turned upon him. Walsh made a statement to the effect that he had recently married Mi»s Carroll, and because her father was ill-using and beat ing her he stepped forward in defence of his lawful wife. They struggled and fell. His wife would give a full and true state ment of the case. Anne Walsh, apparently about sixteen, deposed that she was married to William Walsh, and on the day in question her father came and beat her without any pro vocation. Matthew Carroll, the father, stated that he left some money in the hands of his girl, and Bis Worship said it was quite clear that prisoner had assaulted the old man. He should have fetched a constable instead of taking the Jaw into his own hands'. Pined 10s and costs. HAERY NOKRIE, D.D. This person, a straoger, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Hob^on street on the 7th hut. Prisoner said he had certainly taken a drop too much, but he was not disorderly. Constable Kenyon deposed to the dis orderly conduct. Pined 5s and costs. BUBBLES IN TIIK LANE. Eliza Eice again appeared in answer to a charge of calling Anno Vesty sundry opprobious and offensive names, unused in polite circles of society. A portion of the evidence in thi3 case appeared in our last issue. Anne Vesey stated that she had occasion to hunt for a man on Sunday last who had gone into bad company. He had bought a bucket of beer in a new bucket, and poor Jack was overcome. A t length she learned that he was in a bad house. .She was desirous of getting the poor fellow out as he had a situation to go to she met with a volley of assaults, which were quite shock ing to her ideas. . To His Worship : She did not consider the women wore respectable. She had ! known the man ; he was a friend of hers. It was done out of pure sympathy. It was Eliza Rice that insulted her. The man was John Eobey. , Mary Davis deposed to the character oi the language used. She was in bed at the time, taking a nap, when she heard fchza call Anne Vesey a Mrs Vesey was a highly-respectable woman ; in fa^tshe did her washing, and did it well. Margaret Barstow said there was a regular row in the Lave, but what it was all about she could not tell. The women were swearing at each other, and Mrs Vesey was kicking up a noise because Bhe could not find Jack. , Bachael Volan deposed that she heard a row about a £1, but did not take much notice. It was about a bucket and a *i. They were all a bad lot. Michael O'Brien said he was very deal. He had been speculating at Te Aroha, and had come in to see- about his old woman and children. The woman wanted a wet, and he gave a man £1, and Mrs Began a new bucket to fill with beer. Mrs Vesey s man, Jack, went and spent the pound, aud the women drank up the beer. his Worship said he believed that Mrs Vescy's tongue in the first instance had giveni offence", and that Mis Rice bad retali ated by using towards her the offensive epithets. There was six of one and half-a -dozen of the other. The case was dismissed. Mary Walsh was charged with wilfully rushing at Bridget Johnson, and putting her fist through a square of glass in Chan cery Lane. At the request of prisoner the ca=e was adjourned until to-morrow.

A PUNCH IN THE EYE, &C .

Charles Wilson was summoned in answer to a chargo of striking Edward Burke in the eye with lus clenched list on the 2Sth January.

Mr Burton appeared for complainant, and Mr '1 hen. Cooper in defence. Edward Burke gave an account of his sufferings in consequence of the ill-treat ment received trom Wilson. He was a lodger in Wilson's house beforo he went into t.lic> Hospital. Hi.* eye was not only blackened, but his ribs brokeu. To Mr Cooper: Well, I won't tell you a falsehood, I had bson drinking that night. Am not aware that I stumbled ; left the Hospital on tho 23rd lilt.; could not tell how many glasses I had,; do not' think I had a dozen ; did not tumble upstairs, nor tell Mr Wilson to go to .

To Mr Burton : There were two bottles that night, on Wilson's table, but could not say whether they were full or empty. The police knew thai he was a sober man.

Mr Cooper said the defence was a total denial of the charge. .Dr. Charles A. Cooper, house surgeon at the Hospital, deposed that complainant was taken into the Hospital on the 3rd of February on an order signed by Messrs A. Clark and Sons, lie was suHcring from a fracture of a rib, but such a blow was almost, iiupoisiblc from a human list. Ho must have fallen against something. Charles Wilson, lodging-house keeper, gave cvideuce. Burke came in at a quarter to 12 that night. He whs quite tiruuk ; raved for tobacco. .Seeing his position, he persuaded him to go to bed. Presently he wont to bed, and a few minutes after he heard a fall, but, thiuking Burke had fallen out of bed, he did not pay much attention. Ho did not strike liurko nor oiler any violence. To Mr Burton : He was not in the habit of getting lemonade bottles Tilled with whiskey. He was sober.

His Worship said both stories woro uncor roborated, and one as likely to be true as the other. He must dismiss the case.

This was all the business,

NOHTII V. SOUTH

RIFLE CAMP, Monday. THE North v, South Killo match was a very exciting affair. At the lust range the Northerners led by four points, but at 500 yds tlie South men had made up their lost ground, and were six poiuts to tho good. At tho last range, the South men agaiu showed their superiority at long ranges, eventually winning by 14 points. The shooting was much better than last year, when the scores were : South, 571 ; North, 570. Piynter was the top scorer, and, having held the Cup twice previously, absolutely retains it.

Kiflk Camp, this day,

The proceedings began at cix this moru ing in the hope that the meeting would be concluded to-day, but at present the rate of i progress is such as that this it not likely to '. be the case. The ball was opened with the I team matches. For tbe 17th match only i live teams entered, aud it was generally ] thought the result would be a tie between ■ Wellington and the Thames Navals. There I would have doubtless been a close struggle but for the wretched scoring at all ranges by Cameron. As it was the Wellington men had it pretty much their own way. A protest has been lodged against the winning ( team on the ground that they were allowed to fire after breakfast, when the tight was , certainly much better. The Wanganui Cavalry and Thames bid for second honors 'Jbe sixteenth match was completed shortly after 1 p.m. Wiioganoi proved the , winner. The shooting was not co good as ; last year, when the City Guards took firrt , honors with 4G2 point".

PRICES AND QUALITY TO SUIT ALL. « f~\Y the making of books there Is noend," "l\J wrote an inspired author in the infancy of tho world, thousands of years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now is a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously conned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days the world is a.most ' em barrasdfsroohfSEes" of learning, "quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally snpplied by modern publishers, such as Casssll, Peltor and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only are the works issued by these firms of the highest practical use, but they are Bout out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of the remarkable progress that has been made in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a ni&n from his library. The groat diffloulty with, many in obtaining 'books of a high class in nearly every depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price at which they are issued from the press, and it is really a boon to society when works of admitted excellence are brought within the reach of perßOos of moderate meanß by the admirable System op Time Payments, we can confidently recommend our readers to the splendid selection of Books at the premises of E Wooding (late McGready, Thomson, and Nivon), Pook Importer, Quean-street Junction, Auokland. ■vr o t i c c.
