DISTRICT COURT.— This Day.

(Before llis Honor Judge Macdonald.) BBCOB V. MoftA^.-^Application for re hedrine.-Mr Theo. Cooper appeared in snpport of the application, and Mr J. M. Alexander opposed.—Mr Cooper stated that the application made was for a rehear ing on the ground that the damages awarded were excessively great. He was about to read curtain affidavits filed, when Mr Alex ander objected on the ground that the evid ence shown by them could have been ad duced before the Court. Mr Cooper con tended that the granting the application was purely at the discretion of the Judge, who ought to exercise that discretion hi the interests of justice. The affidavits showed that the amount awarded, although the judge could not perhaps have done otherwise than give the judg ment he did at the trial, was grossly excessive, and justice to both parties would be done if a rehearing was granted. The money was already paid into Court, and he was prepared to give security for costs.—. Mir Alexander opposed the application, on the ground that the evidence could have been adduced at the trial,—Mr Cooper said he was not in any way responsible for that. He was only instructed on the eve of the threat, and had nothing to do with getting up the evidence. It was too late when he was Instructed to remedy the defect, as the cost of an adjournment would have amounted to £30 or £40.—His Honor refused the application, and in doing so, stated that the ground of his refusal was that the evidence could have been adduced at the trial. In saying this he was aware that Mr Cooper was not responsible for that, as he was not engaged in the case till imme diately before the trial. The evidence could have been obtained by the defendant in time for the trial had he gone about it In proper time. He had carefully considered the evidence given, and could not with any propriety disturb the judgment or reduce the damages. It would be opening the door to great abuse if he was to allow a defen dant, after the whole case-was gone into, to re-open the matter, .because he had not taken the trouble to adduce evidence which he could have obtained before the trial. He must refuse the application. —Mr Alexander applied for costs. —Mr Cooper opposed the application.—His Honor refused costs, say ing that the plaintiff had every reason to be satisfied with his judgment, and the appli cation was rightly made by Mr Cooper, in consequence of what he had himself stated in giving judgment. . . . Lamb v. Bern.—Claim £50, damage. —Mr Tyler said the parties in this action had arranged for a settlement.—Ther case was therefore struck out.

Mears v. McKinnon and Others.—claim £31 14s.—Mr Tyler appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Samuel Hesketh for defendants.— In this action, the plaintiff, Stephen Samuel Mears, claimed of the. defendants, Angus and Donald McKinnon and Hugh Suther land, for work and labour> viz., filling in, levelling, and ploughing several small islands in the district of the Waikato river, at 12s per acrs. The defendants claimed a set-off in excess of the jurisdiction of the Court, 'being more than £100.—His Honor said that if Mr Hesketh could not shew that he had jurisdiction he must rule that he had not. The set off was £139.—The defendants admitted that they were indebted for ploughing, &c, but said plain tiff was indebted in other moneys, far in excess of the^ claim, but in which the Court declined to interfere for want of jurisdiction.—His Honor recom mended arbitration as the better way of arranging their differences.—Mr Hesketh and Mr Tyler felt disposed to coincide with His Honor's view, and the Court ad journed for balf-an-hour for that purpose.— Messrs Winks and Hall v. A. G. Brown. —Claim £917s 7d.-Mr Alexander stated that defendant had not arranged for pay ment.

.Auckland Timber Company v. John Woods.—Claim £8 4s 6d.—Mr George for plaintiff.— Defendant agreed to pay 10s per motith, which was accepted, and ah order made accordingly 5 or failing, 21 days' im prisonment. ■ Sqmerfield & Leek v. Wm. Moore.— Claim £5 2s Id.—Mr E. W.. Burton for plaintiff.—Ordered to pay forthwith, cost £118s, or the usual alternative of imprison ment, . .''.;.

ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION AND THE PROPOSED COFFEE PALACE.

(To the Editor.)

Bib,—The Auckland Coffe*- palace Company are callingfor designs, and I would ask a portion of your spaoa to make a few remarks upon me terms in which the invitation la couched. The1 instructions to competitors shew a. depth of appreciation of architects and their work troly profound! The muniflcentoffers made, and the remarkable clearness and perspicacity of each condition, stamps the whole affair as being an emanation from the combined brains of Messrs Saueese-'em-Hard-and-Tight Directors of the above Company. I would recommend that no designs be Bent in nntil the following lnforma- the" author of. the first jremiated design be certainly employed to carry out the work? 2. Who is to be the assessor, arid, will his decision be final and binding on the direc tors? 3. Is this assessor to be a professional or non-professional? i. Upon what ground do the directors claim ownership in two sets of designs in the face of the usage of the profession to the contrary? 5. Do the directors Intend to retain the two sets of flrawicgs deemed first and second best in the event of no premiums being In conclusion I would strongly commend the following proposition to the members of the Auokland Institute of Architects :-Let a com mittee of the Institute call for designs for the aforesaid coffee palace, offering a premium of £200 for the best and £150 for the second beßt design, such designs to be sold to Squeeze'em Hard and Tight and Co. for £500. and the profits arioing from such sale to go to the funds of the Institute.—l am, sir, .

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM AHOTaEB COKidsSPONDEBT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. Still the Local. Government debate—for that is the form it has loiig since taken— goes on. Yesterday there wei'e some capital speeches. Mr Hutchison, of Wel lington, made a remarkably good one, and Mr Reeves and others pnt a little life and earnestness into the question, Mr Harris, of Auckland, spoke well, and kept the House interested for much beyond the time he usually occupies! He has a pleasant. *it, and Is a favourite with both sides and so dan ahvays Command attention in spite of a voice that wants de veloping to make him well heard in the miserably unsuitable House devoted to the Commons, Mr Macdonald, of the East Coast, denounced the bills the Government had. brought down, and spoke strongly. Hutchison was warm on the West Coast management on.' the shameful treat ment of the telegraph officials., He brought :Mr Bryce to his- legs, who waxed warmer than usual mi defence of the high moral qualities of the armed police encamped near Parihaka. He rather overdid his case, proving them an army of saints. Bat overdoing in this way is the fashion just now in Government circlest They are all good—*' too good, pa I heard an Opposition member say, '"to live.1' JAfter Mr Bryce, an adjotirn -ment was proposed, as one of the Minis iters bad a ball, and many members wished : to get away. There had been some ar rangement for this purpose by the whips, but a misunderstanding must have oc curred, for it ended in a little breeze, ; which blew over, and the House adjourned at- milch earlier than usual, though Very nearly eleven o'clock for all that. THE GOVERNMENT MAJORITY. The Government majority will be small, but it is now assured. Mr Driver has shamefully sold the Middle party, with which he pretended to act. It is a lesson. There are always a few members in the House who, on great occasions, ride the rail to make themselves important. Some do it to make a private bargain for friends or constituents, and are literally in that sense bought and sold. They are happily very few in number. Others do it from vanity, to secure the fleeting attention of those who in their : souls despise them. Of such is the would made, and the representatives illustrate the weakness &s well as the virtues of those who send them here to represent them. Through it all one thing is plain. The Go vernment cannot carry a single measure. They will probably drop all and full back on: subsidies for another year, and then bring down the Redistribution of Seats,and ,try to get defeated on it so as to enlist, sympathy in Otago and Canterbury, 'How that move will end none can say, but local government, in its fullest sense, they must now face or the constitu encies will face it for them. The system of subsidies from borrowed money and of administration from Wellington is doomed. So also to a great extent is the enornlous expenditure on legislation, and administra tion' in Wellington. The debate has brought many men together on that point, and in that sense has done great and good service :to that corintrjr.

THREATENING TO MURDER THE MANAGER OF THE NAIIONAL BANK.

THE "Bay of Plenty times" says i—Tho public will bear with indignation that Mr Morris, the highly popular manager of the National Bank Tauranga, has received a letter threatening to take his life. Tbe missire, which was posted on Wednesday, is evidently in a feigned hand-writing and was thus addressed—" Mr Mortis, Manager, N. 8., Tauranga." It is as follows:— " Tauranga, Mr Morris, I am watching you very closely, andifyo idon't look out I shall split on yotf about how you managed to btick.the Bank in Canada.- You—— scoundlr 1 shan't keep your secret any longer you had betier let Barfield case, drop or'/,;' ' ['.'s. will shootyour hed (sic.) You white——Get " (The remainder of -the signature is illegible.) On reeiying this precious document Mr Morris placed it in the hauds of the police, who believe that they have-a clue to the author.of this dastardly threat. We may add that any information that may lead to the Identification of the wfiter r -so as to en able the police to sheet home to him the offence, will be thankfully received; All the information so given will be regarded as strictly private, and the giver will receive a reward. Mr Morris, who is menaced in this dastardly way, Can afford to treat with the contempt they deservb the vile insinuations contained in the letter, He is too well known here and elsewhere to allow such remarks to carry the slightest weight. The way in which he discharged bis duty in connection with the recent attempt to rob the National Bank has, of course, earned for him the ill will of two or three persons, and no doubt the communication given above emanates from.one of the3e. The general public ttiotonghiy approve of the course;taken'.by Mr Morris during these trying circumstan ces, and he can well sfl'ord to disregard the opinions of tbe two or three parties that have a feeling against him for reasons known to everybody. \
