BEPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PRISONS.

ICiiMisHoMe, losp3Ctorot Prisons, presented _]_ report In Parliament yesterday. He says »lt_j chief evils that havo come under my udaare that prisons as they at present exist JiJeither deterrent nor reformatory. I cou _______ this mainly due to the absence ot any -jam of classification, owing to tha very ___i__d accommodation in moat prisons, aud I «nMt too urgently imprea* upon the Govern „j_t tbe necessity for at once enlarging the __(__ gaols to admit of thia claasificidon.

CURIOUS BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

Matrimonial Troubles of an Auckland Boarding-house Keeper.

(BIT TELEGRAPH, VIA BLUFF, OWN CORRES

POSDENT.)

At the Supreme Court, Melbourne, a case of breach of promise was commenced. The plaintiff, Mary Kirkham Brookes, sued Thomas Conlon Smith, importer, for £2000 damages. Mary Kirkham Brookes, plaintiff, deposed : I was married in England on the 24th April, 1855, to Robert Wilson. I loft England eighteen months, after wards and went ti the Cape, thence to New Zealand, and ultimately settled in Sydney. My husband left me in 1864. Afr.er that I earned my living makiug mantles for warehouses. I commenced proceedings for divorce in 1573, and a decree by a Sydney ciurt was granted in 1874. After I had obtained the decree nisi, I went through the ceremony of marriage in Sydney with John Coutts in 1875. I left Sydney the same day and went to Auck land; thence to Nelson. At the time of my marriage,after paying divorce expenses, I had £600, which I gave to Coutts. About six months afterwards I received a decree absolute dated Hth June, 1.875. I remained with Coutts in Nelson three years after I received the decree absolute, and requested Coutts to go through the ceremony of marriage again. but he refused. After leaving Nelson, I went to Christchurch and remained until February, 18S0, whan we went to Auckland and took a boarding-house there. I was to have the management and returns' Coutts was doing nothing. Tha defendant (Smith) came and lodged, at the house in July, 1880. He got into some trouble at the Customs in December last. 1 had disputes with Coutts in reference to his refusal to go through a legal marriage. These disputes were of frequent occurrence. The de fendant heard one quarrel, and spoke to me about it. On the 28th of December he said, "I see you are not on good terms." I said we were not, that we had disputes about money matters, and, .that I could not get a settlement regarding my own money from Coutts. He asked me if there was anything else. I said there was, that if I could not get the settlement I would have to leave Coutts A few days afterwards ha spoke to me again on the subject, aud asked me if I still intended to leave Coutts it I did not get a settlement. I said I did. de asked if 1 had fully made up my mind to leave Coutts would I allow him to say something that he wanted to say very much, but which would never have been said but for my telling him my position with regard to Courts. 1 had just told him what my position was ia regard to my marriage with Coutts. He then asked me if I intended to leave Coutts would I marry him. 1 said I was very much sur prised at his question, and thought he had uot considered the great differences in tho way. I said I was much older than he, and we were ot different religions. He said all that could be got over. He was in a posi tion to make me a liberal settlement if that would be any inducement. I said I could uot give him an answer then, as I would like to think the matter over, and would answer him in a day or two. He said at tho same interview that he had considerable means, and could settle JESOO on me. A few days after, he asked me if I had consi dered the proposal. I said "Yes; have you?" He replied "Yes; and I still want a favourable answer." I said, "I am willing to marry you, but how am I to get away from home ?" He said, "Oh that is easily managed." He suggested, in the first place, I should go to Nelson on a visit, thence to Wellington, and get a steamer to Sydney and meet him there. At this time he had arranged to go by the mail steamer, which left on the 14th January. Before he went we had another convarsation. I told Smith 1 did not think I could get away as he sug gested, but I could say I was going to Eng land. He said this would he a better plan. He said before he left Auckland he would wish me to let Coutts thoroughly under stand 1 was leaving him, as he was afraid after he left I might change my mind and not join him in Sydney. I said I should be quite sore to keep my promise to him. He said he would have eveiy arrangement made in Sydney, so that immediately on my arrival we could be married. He told me to forward letters to "Post-office, Sydney." Smith said I had better come to Sydney by the next mail four weeks hence. On leaving he said he would be sure to write immediately he reached Sydney. I told Coutts before the defendant leit that I was going to leave him. Coutts was very angry. I told defendant that Coutts was very angry, aud had said I could go by the mail leaving the following day. Smith replied. " Very well,that is the best thing you can do. Get your things put together and come away with me now." I first objected to leave so hurriedly, but subsequently said I would go. I commenced to get my things together, and was collect iag some presents in the room Smith was in, when he said, " Don't bring anything that belongs to Coutts, and only take the best of your wardrobe." After the conversation with Smith, Smith and Coutt3 went out together. When they returned, Smith told me Coutts said I was going to leave him. He waa very much displeased. Smith then said "You had better remain until next mail. I said, "1 would rather go to-morrow." He asked me severaltimes to wait for the next mail. At last I said, " Very well, I will do so." The piece of newspaper produced was cut ont by me in the presence of defendant, who was perfectly satisfied from the legal opinion it contained. I was free from my marriage with Coutts. It was au extract from au Auckland paper, and stated that in the Divorce Court ia New Zealand on the 19th November, a new rule came for the first time into operation. Hitherto divorce had not beeu legally complete until six months after the hearing of the case. Thu<, after a decree nisi, in one or two caces, a woman has married aaain without waiting till the decree was made absolute. An impression has prevailed, especially amongst poor people, that after the judge's decision they were tree to marry again without further attendance in Court. Thus, " marriages have taken place in the six months' interval legally compelled in order that the Queen's Proctor might intervene in cases of col lusion. Now, to prevent the possibility of such an occurrence a list of all divorce cases ia which decrees are ready to be made abso lute is made out by the Registrar, and find ing no obstacles lodged he at once obtains the sanction of the judge." The defendant left on the 14tb January. After the defen dant left I commenced a letter to him. (Produced.) I left Auckland on the 24th January. Receiving no reply, I sent a cable message to defendant on 2nd Feb ruary, and next day received a letter from defendant (produced), and in reply sent the telegrams produced. Coutts sold off the house and furniture, and, on the 9th March I left Auckland for Sydney. Defendant did not meet me at Sydney. I heard he had gone to Melbourne, and came here. I called at St. Andrew's Hotel and saw him. He said " You here 1" I replied " Yes " He said, " I did not think you would come." I said, " What else could I do under the circumstances? My borne is gone. I could not remain in New Zealand. Why did you not write, according so pro raise?" He said, "I did write a long letter." I said, " You did not send it." He said, "But I would have done so soon." I asked him to explain his strange conduct since leaving New Zealand. He said, " 1 will do so when you're less excited." I said, " I would like an explanation now." He said, " vVait until morning, and I will, explain everything." Saw him next morning. We went a walk to Fitzroy G-ardens and sat down to have some conversation, and asked him to explain, as he had promised on the previous night. He said the reason he had not sent a letter was because he was afraid he could not marry on account of the mar riage ceremony 1 had gone through with Coutts. He said ha was afraid he would be getting into trouble, or that some complies tions would arise if he did so. I said, " You were perfectly satisfied before leav ing New Zealand that I am a free agent. You saw my papers and the decree, and Coutts' will, which had to be made out in my maiden name, also the newspaper paragraph you requested me to cut out." I added, "" What can I do now if you refuse to marry me. I have given up my home with Uouttsand everything I possess according to your own wish." I was very distressed, crying very much, and he begged me not to be distressed, as he said everything would come right if I would only make ray mind easy I said things would not come right unless'he performed his promise. He said it was'no use talking then. We would come to abetter understanding afterwards. He took me down to the International Hotel until I should get private apartments. I staved a week there, and saw defendant several toes during the week I asked l to have a settlement with him, and told him 1 would have to go back to New Zealand. I went to private apartmen s from the hotel. 1 saw defendant at that time, and.told .torn I had very little money, but would gladly go back to New Zealand if he would .pay expenses. On the Ist ot Apnl.l pointed oufthe injustice he had done mem refusing to keep his promise of marriage, and that

if he had any feeling for my miserable con dition he would give me a small sum of money to take me back to New Zealand. I received no reply. Defendant Cilled at my residence on the 4th of April, and said ho could not stay to converse, as a friend was wait ing for him. I said, "If you don't wait now you won't have a chance again to h ;ar what I have to say. Be said, "Do you intend that as a threat ? It will have no effect with me. I have made myself perfectly sife." I said there was no threat intended, but I merely made use of tho words, think ing 1 would be going .to New Zealand, and I that he would uot see me again. He then! went away. I have had an engagement since Easter in a house of business, and had beeu working for my living. Cross-examined by Mr Pnrves : When I became engaged to Coutts I had a private dressmaking establishment in Sydney. I knew Coutts for 3 years before I married him. This time I was the wife of another man, but had not seen him for nine years, and did not know my husband was alive. I have gone by the name ot Coutts in Mel bourne up to the present time. I had quarrelled with Coutts while living in Nelson. The solatis-greer, who sent me decree absolute, informed me I was not legally married to Coutt3. I remained with Coutts because I had no meaus to leave him, and was in hopes he would do me justice. He promised to do so when I was leaving him, but I was engaged to Smith then. At the time Smith proposed I had uot been occupying the same apartments as Coutts for years. My room was on the ground floor. The boarders knew we occupied separate rooms. One reason for this was that Coutts was very stout and snored a great deal. (Laughter.) Mr Smith had not spoken to me on the subject of love until he proposed on the Ist of January. I respected him, but that was all. He said he would be satisfied with the love of a sister and in time the other would follow. My husband went into my room when he liked. Smith knew this. 1 have not written to Coutts since I came to Melbourne, I brought a locket containing Coutts' por trait to Melbourne. I am wearing the locket now ou my watch chain. Smith stopped a fortnight in the bouse after I had promised to marry him. I was in the awkward pre- ; dicamem; of living in the house with the man t bad married and the man I was about to marry. There was no love-making between us, only conversation. I did not go on board to see Smith oft. I said good-bye to ' him in the dining-room. Coutts had gone • out of tho room. I said good-bye to Smith and then kissed him. i

Mr Purves : Why did you never mention marriage iv any of the letters you wrote to Smith; or call him yonr affianced hus band ?

Witness : Is it usual ?

Mr Purves : I think so; I can only speak of my own experience.

Mr Williams : Your counsel has had more experience in love letters. You yourself have had a tolerable experience in being twice married, and wanting to be married again. Witneus : After Smith left I stayed at the house of Mrs Dr. Powell. Coutts was there part of the time. He occupied the same room, but a different bed. Mr Purves : Don't you think you ought to have felt that you, tho affianced wife of one man, would rather die than so live in open infamy with another. Witness : Mr Smith knew my position. Mr Purves : Coutts offered to marry you at this time. Why did you refuse ? Witness: Because of my promise to Smiih. Mr Purves : Which did you love best ? Witness : I decline to answer. Mr Purves: Was not Smith's offer that you should go to him on your way to Eugland and live with him for a while 1 Witness : No ; it was an offerjof marriage. Mr Purves : Did not Smith Bay he would not go iv the same steamer as you because of the scandal.

Witness : No ; there would have been no scandal.

The further hearing of the case was ad journed. _^^______________________________

Thos. Ellison v. A. Elliott.—Claim £25 7s, promissory note.—Mr S. Hesketh for plaintiff,, asked that this case might he withdrawn, as the parties had come to an agreement. -Withdrawn accordingly. George Johnstone v. John Smith.—Claim £100, damages.—This being a case for a jury and thero being a number of witnesses, without a chance of a hearing to-day, the case was adjourned until to-morrow morn ing, at 10.30. A. Heather v. R. W. Priddle.—Claim £35, damage to goods.—MrS. Hesketh for plain tiff, Mr A. Whitaker for defendant.—Mr Hesketh opened the case and gave tbe particulars, which appear in evidence.— Arthur Heather, merchant, deposed that he received a bill of lading, signed by the captain of the Borealia, for slates and kerosene, as in good condition. He paid freight to the agent of the Ocean Ranger, H. P. Barber and Co. The goods were originally shipped by the latter vessel in New York, and transhipped from Lyttelton by the Borealis. He had to pay for the ex auiination ot about 326 cases, £1 3s, ex Borealis, which he paid. The value of the 25 damaged cases, 12s a case in bond, which would make about £15. The value of the slates was £12 per 11)00—To bis Honor: They are called " Blue Bangor Slates,' from America. A number of tho slates could be used, but from 1,100, there was no salvage; some of them by cutting might be used for certain odd purpoaes. He should consider that hi 3 100 iv the kerosene was over £40. He es timated his damage at £35.—Mr Whitaker said the defendant wasunfortunately placed, as he resided at Blenheim. The case Bhould have been heard in the Resident Magis trate's Court. There was little doubt but ho must pay something.—Mr Hesketh : The slates w ere sold al 10s. per 1000, much below their value.They were stained by salt water and manyjbroken.—By Mr Whitaker: The slates had become unmarketable by the action ol! the saltwater. He could not Bay exactly as to how tha damage to the kero sene was effected. The cases were wet and stained, 325 cases were damaged. —To Mr Hesketh. :■ He made a concession of Id per gallon on . that which was sold.— Captain Henry Elliott, receiving agent at the Queen-street Wharf, received a portion of the goods from the Borealis. Received 25.650 slates on deck, consigned to Mr Heather, They were much softened by the salt water, and would break by the pressure of the hand. The slates below were in good order, excepting those broken by being trampled over. There were 2,000 cases of kerosene, 1400 on deck, and the remainder below. Those on deck were leaking. Those below were sound. In a number of instances the wood was broken and the tins leaking. The captain said he carried the goods on deck accoiding to an agreement with Captain Priddle. He believed that the damage was caused by the action of the weather and salt water. The decks had evidently been subjected to', continuous water.—This being tbe case, Mir Whitaker addressed the Court in defence, and contended that as half the slates ware not damaged, the sum of £610s , ought to be deducted from the amount of the claim, and he would submit that the defendant ought not to be called upon to pay extra costs in consequence of delays over which he had no control.—Captain Elliott could not say who made the estimate of value.—His Worship having made an arithmetical calculation, ga?e judgment for £28, costs £4 16. John Cash v. Maurice Kelly, Sen,— claim £60.—Mr B, Cooper for plain tiff Mr S. Hesketh for defendant- Witnesses were ordered out of Court.—Mrs Kelly said there was no necessity for de fendant to leavo the Court, as he was so very deaf.—To that, however, counsel ob jected, on the strength of the adage, "None so deaf as those who won't hear."—Mr Cooper stated particulars. The plaintiff was a jaj<n<ligger, and had packed' 1900 weitE XR gum in eleven sacks, which was enfc^&to Mr Kelly, and deposited for safe*j/'vhis store. Subsequently the gum and "Bugs disappeared in a mysterious nuiiiaw, and the action was brought to re cover value of the same.—Mr Hesketh said, as was customary, Captain Greenleaf took the gum away, and sold it to the best ad vantage-John Cash deposed that he was a ! gum-digger ai the Wade, Knew defendant. ' Had an interview with him in November last about the storing of the gum. He said he had no team. Said the storage would be a penny a parcel. He recommended him to his ison, who could bring it down. On tbe following day 11 bags containing 1900 weight of gum were carted away. A young man named Fagan drove the horses, aud witness helped to place the gum in Kelly's store. He was to{d that Greenleaf had an office at the store, and generally took the gum for sale, butjthat Mrs Kelly kept the key. Having stored the gum he locked the store, gave the key to Mrs Kelly, and a few days after he paid Mrs Kelly a shilling for storage.—To Mr Cooper : It was not stored for another person to take without his sanction. Heard

the gum had been taken away, and he went to enquire about it. lie went to | Kelly, the younger, who keeps a pablic { hiuse, and got the key. Opened the store, but found no gum. Locked the store and returned the key to Mra Kelly, asking what had become of his gum. She said she did not know. He then said if it was not forth coming, or the value, he must sue Mir Kelly for it He did not know Greenleaf.—To His Honor: The gum was my own. Had no partner in the affair. Understood that Greenleaf had sold it, but had neither seen gum, bags, nor money since. Mrs Kelly, on putting the gam into tho store, said I could keep it there as long as I | liked, if, for six months, the charge would bs the same.—To Mr Cooper : He was } offered £28 for the gum, but this w;»s after | he put the matter in the bands of the police. The value of gum at tbe end of November was about £2 6s per cwt,—Mrs Hesketh thought Home limit should be mads as to price.—His Honor said the plaintiff was entitled to claim the highest price which had ruled from November to the present time.—Plaintiff said there had not been much variation in tbe figure. He also claimed for loss of time, fully three weeks, averaging 35s a week,—To Mr S. Hesketh : saw Maurice Kelly by his dwelling-bouse, when he enquired about the storage. He told him to go to Tommy, meaning bis son. There was a German in connection with the store, but he had a key of his own depart ment ; separate from the part were his gum wns stored in November. He did not know, Greenleaf until after the loss of his gun. Had since heard that he was Captain of the Tarn o'Shantor. Was not aware that Greenleaf held the store under Maurice Kelly. Do not know it now. Did not tell Wm. Henry Morton that he was going to put it in Greenleaf's store.—Hia Honor said it was not likely that Grcenleaf's evidence would be forth coming if be possessed £50.—Plaintiff: By the advice of Mrs Kelly be went to Green leaf and saw him for the first time. He challenged Greenleaf as to taking his gun. He replied, "Oh, I've sold it," "By whose order ?" asked witness. " Oh," he replied, "by order ol four men." Plaintiff naked their names. He replied, " (Jh, Tim Foley, Billy Morton, Thomas and Maurice Kelly." Greenleaf showed him a bill of the sale of the gum, and promised to pay him at some future time, £28. He told him he would not take it, as it was only half the price. Greenleaf never laid down the money in his cabin. Had nevar re ceived ono penny on account of tbe gum. — Mr S. Hesketh : You will bo distinctly contradicted by witness about the money. Witness said he had spoken the truth.— To His Honor; Asked MisKelly about the terms ot storage because Tommy Kelly said " 'tis no use speaking to the old man ; mother's the boss. —To Mr Hesketh :—He spoke to Constable Moor, but the constable could not take it up ns a case of larceny, and advised him to sue Maurice Kelly, as he appeared to be the responsible party.— John Greenleaf, master of the rom o' Shanter, deposed to receiving the eleven bags of gum by order of the Kellys and others. He sold the gum at tho best price he could get, bat plaintiff refused the money. He did not rent the afore of the elder Kelly in November last.—Cross examined by Mr Cooper : Did not receive orders from Cash. He was supposed to take all the gum away that wns left. A bag of bonedast was stolen from the store, Could not say who paid for it. He did not. Maurice Kelly said he did not know whether the eleven bags were to go. Seve ral men told him he was to take them. He went back for the bigs.— His Honor said he thought that tbe real facts were now betore the Court: first, as to the way in which tbe gnjn went to tbe store, and that Greehleaf took the gum to Auckland and sold it, as he had Blated ; that he was not the lessee of Kelly's store at the time ; and that Cash had paid the r-.-nt of Is to Mrs Kelly. The question, therefore, to be considered, is tbe liability or non-liability of Maurice Kelly. Witness continued: He had paid £28 to Ca..], He did not at first accept it, bat subsequently he took it—To His Honor : Offered tbe £28 in tbe presence of the constable. He wonld not take it He again offered it, but not before the constable. He left tbe £28 6s pn the table for him. Got tbe 6s change at Bond's. When he got back to the; store both Cash and tbe money >vere Ron . Thought he had taken the money, and was satisfied. Saw no more of Cash. This was ou the 23rd of January. (Left sitting.)

(From our Special keporter.)

REPRESENTATION.

A table bas been prepared by Govern ment officers showing for each electoral dis trict;, and each provincial district in tbe colony the population, number ot represen tatives in proportion thereof, total represen tation, representatives in proportion to total representation to which each district would be entitled on the basis ofpopn. lation on tbe assumption of a total represen tation of ninety members, and the excess of deficiency of share as at present represented. It appears that on the basis above mentioned Auckland would be entitled, taking the total population at 486,364, and eighteen decimal thirteen members, the present number being 18. Taranaki also very nearly holds her own, 2 decimal 74 being her just share, three members beiDg now returned for that province. Wellington re i quires 11 decimal 29 in place of her present 10. Ha wkes Bay remains the same, _: decimal 117 falling to her share. Marlborough, | which at present has three members, in , future will have to put up with two—l

decimal 96 being her proportion. Nelson will lose certainly three members, perhaps four. The present representations being seven—her future 3 decimals 74. Westland loses a member—perhaps two, the proportion jbeing five pre sent to three decimal 71 future. The great districts, Canterbury and Otago, will (tain respectively six and three members. The constituency which has least members is Collingwood, where 1645 individuals roturn a_ member, Mr Gibbs, The next pocket borough in order is Totara, Mr Gisborne's constituency, whilst the largest constituency is represented by Mr Wright, a momber of the late Railway Commission.

NAUTICAL COURT.

THE WRECK OF THE POLICEMAN.

OFFICIAL INQUIRY.

(Before K. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., and Captain Frater, Nautical Assessor.)

Mr Laishley appeared for the Collector of Customs, and Mr Browning for Captain Champion and crew. This Court, it well be remembered, was adjourned from last Saturday in order that Mr Brown might be be examined. It was alleged that he had stated to Mr Pierce that it was intended all along that tbe vessel should be lost on her last trip. The clerk stated that a subpaina had been issued for Mr Brown's attendance, but it had not yet reached him.—Mr Laishley said he had another witness present who could give the evidence which he had promised to adduce.—James Buttlcr, chief clerk in the New Zealand Insurance Com pany's office, was called, an_ddeposed_: The schooner Policeman was insured in the New Zealand office for £500. They became aware of her loss by reports in the news paper. That was on the Thursday after the loss. On the following day (Friday), Mr Brown, senr., who gave witness to under stand that he was the father of a pas senger of that name, called at their office. —Mr Laishley proceeded to ask what Mr Brown bad said oa that occasion, but, —Mr Browing objected. Stalcments|raade at random in tbe streets had nothing to do with an enquiry of this kind.— Mr Barstow said the counsel could ask the reault of the statement— In reply to the question Mr Buttle said the consequence of the statement made to him by Mr Brown was that the New Zea land Insurance Company felt it necessary to be represented at that inquiry. At this stage, Mr Samuel P. Brown entered the Court and was examined. He bad been an officer in the Customs for about 18 years. His son was a passenger by the Policeman on her last trip. Saw the loss of the Policeman reported in the paper. Remember going to tbe New Zealand In surauce Office, and seeing Mr Buttle there. Did not know the Policeman was insured in the New Zealand Company when he called. He went there and enquired for Mr Pierce, the Manager, in order to enquire about the Policeman. He went thero because he knew his son was on board, and because his son had said that in all probability the vessel would not reach her destination. His object in going to the office was for the purpose of giving an instinction of that. He did not see Mr Pierce' but Mr Buttle.—Mr Laishley asked what he said to Mr Buttle.—Mr Browning ob jected. —Mr Laishley admitted the sound, ness of tho objection, but said it was competent for the Court to examine the witness further, although he could not press tho witness further.—By the Court: It was from his aon Stephen that he got the informa tion which he conveyed in a statement to Mr Buttle. This was given a day or two before the vessel sailed, but he had misunderstood what his son really said. One of the reasons why be could not believe the state ment was that his son had sailed in the vessel.—This was the whole of the evidence.—The Court decided that tbe captain was not to blame, and that he was justified in leaving Spirits Bay after the leak had been discovered nnd when tbe weather moderated. The captain's certifi cate was, therefore, returned.—Mr Brown ing applied under the Act for coats. —Mr Laishley pointed out that never, unless tender very extraordinary circum stances, had tho Court ordered a public prosecutor been ordered to pay the costs.— His Worship said he had made orders on the Marine Department oyer and over again for costs, and they had never refused to pay. If the captain in this case had been at all _to blame he would have ordered him to pay tha coats, but be conld not see that he was.—The Court allowed the cap tain £7 16s for hia costs,
