TAKING IN THE SUBURBS.

Iho Citij Councillors on the Sub ject.

Tub motions by His Worship the Mayor in reference to the aun.j xa tion of the suburban districts of K&rangabape, Ponsonby, and Graf ton to 'the city came up again at the meeting o f the City Council Finance Coin- BVittee last night, and were further post poned, pending the publication of the animal statement of accounts,—Cr. Wad. dell thought a pull of the ratepayers should be taken after they had fully discussed (lie matter. The citizens hud quite as much right to an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the subject as had the residents in the highway distiicts. Kefcrring to the statement at the Karangahape meeting, that separate divisions of the city would havo to pay all special charges for druiuago and waterworks, the speaker said the only way those districts could be taken into the city was under ttie Municipal Act. —Crs. Aickin and Crowther thought they should educate the city ratepayers on the question before taking a poll. The latter speaker added that there were a number of gentlemen in the suburbs, »ome of them veiy near to town, who had been living very economically and paving small taxes, some being not more than 9d in the £. On the other hand, they, in the ■city, had been paying 2s 3d in the £— (A voice : Not now) —and by taxing themselves heavily, had got numerous works carried out, and had accumulated a valuable fund. If they were not paying 2s 3d now it wa*. not long since they were, and at the pre sent time the rate was 2s \A in the £. The suburban people wanted these advantages withouc paying anything for them, and talked cheerfully about getting water ni;iini ■within 100 yards of their property, and having nothing to pay for having their land? The Mayor pointed out that the motion ■would have to come forward again, and that itwould be advisable to postpone any further discussion until then. Referring to the in terview with the Karangahape deputation, he said he had informed them that he did not speak with the authority of tbe Council. Several Councillors expressed satisfaction that His Worship bad not com mitted himself to anything.—Cr. Goldie said he read a document issued by Mr yield that the dust carts which went out it tho city to collect refuse in Ponsonby would have to be paid for by the people of the district. Mr Boardman denied the statement, and wrongly asserted that only residents iv streets where the dustcarts collected rubbish would have to pay for the convenience. This was an erroneous idea. —Councillor Hcmus thought the ques tion should be fully discussed in the Council before the citizens were asked to express their view 3at the ballot. —Cr Thompson Baid he wa3 glad to see that Cr. Crowther was gradually coming round to the views held by His Worship »nd himself, on the subject of the annexa tion. He did not go the length of educat ing the people, but he thought the citizens should have the opinions of the councillors on tho advisability or otherwise of the step before going to the poll.—Cr. Montague did not think anyone opposed the scheme, lint rather the way in which it was sought te be carried out. He intended to look aftei the interest of tbe.ratepayers so far as ways and means were concerned. It was advisable that the citizens should hear what they had to say before expressing an opinion.—The subject then dropped.

DISCHAGE OF SERGEANT KIDD.

A Strange Story about tlie Wai pawa Election.

Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Kidd, a highly popular member of the Auckland pulice force, received notice that his ser vices were dispensed with, no reason for this Btep being assigned by the Commis sioner, or by the Hon. Mr Bryce, who signed the order of discharge. Kidd was transferred to Auckland about three months ago, but finding that the street duty hurt his feet he applied for a removal to Coiomandel or some other country dis trict. The notice of dismissal Was the unexpected answer to this application. The real cause of the dismissal has, how ever, come to our ears, and we think that when our readers have perused the follow ing story, they will conclude, with us, that it discloses a discreditable state of things, Kidd, prior to his removal to this city wa3 stationed at Waipawa.a town ship in the Mawkes' Bay Provincial Dia trict. At the same time there was stationed at Napier, a certain Sergeant McMahoD, who filled the position of clerk to Inspector {Scully. The two men were on t&e terms of the greatest intimacy—indeed a sort of Damon and Pythias attachment seems to have existed between them. At the last general election Mr Ormond and Mr Smith contested the VVaipawa seat. Some little time before the polling day, Kidd received a {letter requesting him to u*e his in- i fluenco with Smith, which was kaown to be "great, to withdraw from the ! conteet." Sergeant Kidd indignantly de declined to do anything bo inconsistent with his position as a member of the police force. JAlthough he was con conscientious, the Ormond party were not, and they u*ed the public officials in Bupport oE Ormond's candidature with unsparing hand. Sergeant McMahon himself was on the day of the election S6nt to Woodville, a distance of 70 or 80 Jtniles, as sub returning officer, but really to in. fluence the large vote in that locality i in favour of the run-owners' candidate. ' It is a matter of history that Smith was ; elected, and from that time the spite of the i defeated party was concentrated on j Sergeant Kidd, who was (supposed, ] perhaps with some colour of truth, to have boen the real cause of Mr Smith* return. Very shortly ofter the election Kidd re- , ceiveda memo, from Inspector Scully to the effect that the Native Department ha,d j requested his removal, and that he wa* to leave the district on a certain day. The scries of removals that were entailed by the ; gratification of tbii petty piece of spite , could not have cost the Government less than £100, probably a considerable sum Hnre. Well, Kidd came to Auckland, and had sot been here more than a few days before he had the misfortune to read an article in one of the local papers ; upon the gross mismanagement of the ■ Police IJepartment. The case ot the hardly : used constables was so well Btated, and the deductions drawn were so true, thai Kirld sent a copy of the paper referred to to his Napier "friend," Sergeant McMahon, for publication |in the local papers. The upshot was Kidd's dismissal. Com- ' meut on the facts above Btated is needless. 1 he discharged sergeant's past record is a good one. He is a brother of 'Ihoroas »'6'iiorne Kidd, flag lieutenant to Admiral Lyons, who was killed while gallantly attempting to save the wounded fiom the Kussian sharpshooters lying between the English and Kussian lines after the

\ memorable storming of the Quarries during (ho Crimean war. Sergeant Kidd was a commissioned officer during the vVaikato war, and in 1567 was t pecially commissioned by Col.Haultain.the then Defence Minister, to raise a corps of volunteers for active ser vice in the Rotorua district. He joined the police in 1875, and during his career in the force he has been in charge of Tauranga and Gisborne. The residents of the former place petitioned strongly against his removal, and when he left Gisborne, the appreciation of his ser vices by the public was testified by a pre sentation of silver plate. On Kidd's depar ture from Auckland for In spector tfrobiim, who is acknowledged to be one of thebestpolice oilicers in thecolony, wrote to the eflect thai it would be hit (Kidd's) own fault if he did not obtain a commission in the force, or a Resident Magistracy. We understand that Sergeant Kidd intends to petition Parliament for. an inquiry into the circumstances attending the dismissal, and so onr readers may expect to hear mom about this matter.

DBUNKKJTNESS.-Threo persons were punished for this oifence, in accordance with law. Absent Withoi.t Leav..—Edward Arra vnile was charged with being absent without cave from tho schooner Atlantic on the 7th inst.—MrLaishley appeared for the prosecution and stated tho case. Tho prisoner was acting as mate, and on Friday, he. with two scamor, left the vessel surreptitiously in tho chip's boat, and tho captain was put to great inconvenience in o .nsequence of prisoner's con duct—Jlr Tolo appeared for the prisoner.—Mr Laishley called witnesses.—Jlr Rowo, shipping clerk hi H.M. Customs, deposed that ho knew Captain Bcott of the schooner Atlantic. Tho copy of tho log was a true copy of the original. Ho checked the entries.—Jlr Tole objected to the copy being pu-. in evidence—Mr .Laishiey said, ie Mr Tole had a good case he need not ob juct. It vras indispensiblo to tho case that tho copy should bo put in.—Mr Itowe said that tho vessel cleared at tho Customs

on tho Thursday. All goods had been pre viously shipped. On the Thursday, the ship had her full complement of seamen, but others were shipped on Saturday in consequence of the ab sence of some of the men.—Alexander 801 l Donald deposed that ho was tho owner of tho Atlantic, schooner. Tho ship was on her way to the South Sea Islands, and the log was on board. Had a conversation with prisoner on the matter, and he said. "Are you going to press the charge of stealing the boat against me V Mr Donald replied." That charge will not be pressed, as tho boat has been found." Me then acknowledged that he had done wrong in leaving the schooner without the captain's authority. Sergeant Martin deposed thathewent in search of prisoner on charges of stealing a boat and being absent without leave. Arrested him in tho Waitemata Hotel. —Hi 3 Worship re marked upon the merits of the case, but was of f opinion that the evidence was not sufficient for a conviction.—Mr Laishley : I hope Your | Worship will not allow costs.—Mr Tote :My learned friends seems to smell costs.—Hi3 Worship considered it was not a case for costs. The 'Frisco Restaurant Case.—Samuel Henry Cox surrendered his bail and appeared in answer to a charge of unlawfully stabbing Wm. Hill with a knife, on the night of the 25th March.—Mr Blades said that Mr Tylor was still engaged, consequently he must again ask for a remand for a week.—Remanded until Saturday, tho 21st inst. Supplying Whisky Unlawfully.—John Maxwell, butcher, of Freeman's Bay, was charged with unlawfully supplying one John Waymouth, junr., wiih a glass of whisky, knowing that an order had been made by tho Resident Magistrate prohibiting any person from supplying liquor to the said John Way moiitli for tho space of ono year, the said pro ; hibition being then in full effect.—Mr T. Cooper appeared for the prosecution.—Mr Mackechnie, in defence, examined several sections of tho Act, bearing upon the present case, and con- I tended that, according to the informa | tiqn, tho alleged offenco was com mitted between Helensville and Dargaville, and outside tho limits of tho order, and conse [ quently no oflencohad been tommittcd.—Mr I Cooper replied to the objection, which, he said did not apply in tho present instance. The de fendant had sympathised with tho person named, and intimated that it was hard to be under such a prohibition, and suggested that they should go out into tho country and tako ! theirflll; and tho 169 th section was wide enough to catch a person, with a knowledge of the pro hibitory order, at Otago.—His Worship re viewed tho particulars of tho order, and expressed a doubt as to tho extent of area within the meaning of the sec tion. Ho would, however assume that Mr [ Maxwell was aware of the order, and that ( John Waymouth, jun.. was the prohibited man.—Mr Cooper said therocouldhono doubt that defendant had such knowledge, as tho m-n were neighbours, living within a stone's throw of each other.-Mr Mackechnie objected to this statement. — His Worship con sented to take the evidence, as it. would be short; especially as Mr Cooper had threatened an appeal, and stated that His Worship's opinions were wrong.— The evidence w»s simply teat Mr Maxwell treated Mr Waymouth to aßlats !of whisky on board the stiamer. MrMackeobnlemnde some observations nn the limits of the order, and that eeotion 169 did not inolude localities be yond thoee mentioned.—His Worship said that Mr McKeckniartisjbt also threaten htm with appeal if ha expressed a different opinion. He would Rive his decision in writing at an early date. This was all tho basinea?.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

A YOUTII KICKED IN THK ABDOMEN.

A YOUNO man named James Young, of Kohimarama, met with a very painful accident this forenoon. He was itnnding in Hunter and Nolan's auctien yard, Durham-street, while a horso was being sold. Tke animal was brought in amongst the crowd, and whilo the bidding was proceediug, a by-stander pulled its tail. The result was mo*t unfortunate for Young, who was standing close by. Becoming frightened, tho horse reared up and lashed out furiously behind with, his hoofs, one of which struck the youth a severe blow in tho abdomen.

GOViRNMBNT AID TO CITY SCHOOLS.— The secretary reported the receipt of a communication from the Minister of Edu cation (Uon. T. Dick), in respect to cirtum matters urged upon the Premier, by a deputation from the Board, during Mr Hall's recent visit to Auckland. The Minister did not see that any money could be taken for the purposes of the Wellialey street and Hercsford-atreet schools, from the educational vote. Still, it was admitted that there was great need for a pluygteund for the Wcllesley-street achool, and if a secure tenure could be obtained from tbe City Couucil a sum of money would be placed on the estimate for tbe purpose. Further information was solicited regarding the wunts connected with tbe Helion-street school, -while if it was an additional extent of ground that wf.s required for the Parnell school the Government would be disposed to asaist in the matter, though not to acquire any fresh buildings. No thing seemed to be nettled about the Mount Eden school, and it would therefore be al lowed to remain in abeyance.—lt was agreed to communicate with the Parnell Com mittee, inviting them to renew tlieir nego tiations for tbe acquisition of the additional land required. Gibls' High School.— The Secretary announced that an official communication had been received from Wellington stating that a sum of £600 was to be placed on tke estimates this year for the purposes of the Girls' High School, instead of the £1,200 hitherto voted. The Executive Committee had addressed a remonstrance on the sub ject to the Minister of Education, but no reply to it had yet been received—The action of the committee was approved.

MangawAl.— It was decided that the election of a Committee in this district was irregular, and a fresh one wa» therefore authorised.

Tapu.—A protest of a somewhat similar character was made against the School Committee election at Hastings by a Mr Good, who also preferred certain charges of embezzling the school funds.—A discussion having taken place as to the exact defini tion of the word "householder," L was resolved to forward the Committee a copy of the letter, and to request from them a reply thereto. Woodside. —Mr H. Butler wrote protest ing against the votes of the four Messrs Martin and of a married lady, given at the Committee election, being recorded. The Board decided that not sufficient reason had been giveu for declariog the election in valid.

Change of School Books.—A letter was received from the City School Com mittee objecting to any change of School Headers being made until after the Com mittees have had an opportunity of pro nouncing their opinion.—Mr Laishley sur mised that the Board was aware that teachers benefited by these changes through the discount or commission that they obtained on the books.—The chairman replied that to a large extent this was true, and was known.—The letter was simply received.

.Removal of Teachers.—The City School Committee also drew attention to the frequent changes that had taken place in the staff of the Wcllesley street school during the year. Thus in standards 1 and 2 there had been tour changes; in Standard 3, seven changes; and in Standard 4, live changes. The Secretary was directed to express the Board's regret that so many chances bad been rendered necessary.

MINING.

(From the "Coromandeli Mail,-')

MATAWAl.—Obtaining very good speci men stone in trenching ami sinking in this reef, a sliot of gold is found to extend as the reef is traced.

St. David's, adjoining ground to Mata wai, will start work on Monday. It is ex pected that several other claims will start immediately. •J Blackmore is still taking out good crushing with four stopes on Flat and Home Rule reefs. The work of opening up the latter lode is progressing favourably. A fine reef is in hand with good prospects whenever work is earned on.

j Home Rule are pushing in a good piul- I dock of payable quartz from the stopes. !On Thursday sixty pounds of specimens were obtained from No. % leader. Golden Belt.—Still stripping without any fresh news of importance. Tokatea.—On Wednesday the manager obtained 141bs, of specimens and a similar quantity of picked stone from the reef in the main level, which had been, showing great improvement for several shifts past, At latest advice i the reef was continuing regular and well defined There is no doubt but the present operations m this mine will bo watched with interest by shareholders. The works being carried on are of so important a character that any day a great patch may bo struck. It is quite possible that the irregular dabs of gold met with in the past have been the outer limits of the shot of gold now being approached, Gem. — This mine is being steadily worked. The level started on tho roof a little to the right of the Vau tunnel has been carried in over 70 feet. The quai tz broken down has been of a good character, the lode keeps its truo course, and it is to be hoped that the improvement reported in tho Tokatea will likewise take place in tho Gem. It cften happens that when one mine in a locality strikes gold, others meet with similar luck.

Wavehley.—The shareholders in this mine arc opening out the laree reef which is about four feet thick, and are getting very good prospects, estimated to average over one ounce to the ton.

ADA. — Stoping has been carried on dur ing the week with unsatisfactory results. It is probable that next week the face of the level will be pushed further in, as good indications "wore met with when work was last being carried on. Tokatka.—The manager reports the reef in tlio main level is lasting we 1, ami has continued for some distance without a break. On "Wednesday got Mlbs. fair specimens and sune weight picked stnnc. The reef still looks very favourable. Two leadingstopes arc being carried along above this level. Good deal of mineral is show ing. Intermediate levol.—Hard-shooting country is being driven through, the reef somewliat broken, n little gold showing occasionally.

CONSTITUTIONAL ASPECT OF THE

GOVERNOR'S AOTIuN,

(To the Editor.)

EIK, —In reference to the paragraph from " Todd," cited in your issue of this evening, will you permit me to point out that, although it is therein stated tbat '■ the advice of the retiring minister should not be obtruded upon the sovereign una-;k<d," it it nevertheless now almost the invariable practice for the Sovereign or h«r Adminis trators iv the colonies to seek to obtain such advice ; if, howsrer, extraneous assis tance is requeited, it is sought from some proiniitmit independent personage, not from anyone who has taken an active part in political opposition to tha outgoing Govern ment. The atlrice of th« late Sir Vdward Deas Thompson, K.C.M.G, was thus sought by the Governor on two or three occasions of difficulty in H.S.W.—I am, &c, Lex. Auckland, April 13th, 1892.

ALLEGED MAWSLAAUOHTKR.

Mikaero te Papa., a native, wai arraigned on an indictment charging him with man-

•lauKhtcr, at Oxford, Wuikato, on the 2Cth December, 1881.

Mr Hudiou Williamson, Crown Piosetu tor, appeared with Messrs Hesketh aud lsrasscy for tbo prosecution, while Messrs Tyler and F. A, Whitaker defended. Mr Brown interpreted. The evidence of a number of witnesses appeared in our last evening's issue, Mr Tyler opened the case for the defence. He said that evidence would bo adduced to show that Panasaid to Hoani that he would tak* his (Huani'a) wife away from him ; and to show that Te Puna made use of hor-

riblu threats to deceased—such as, " I shall rip your billy, open with my knife." The prosecution had set up, as showing a motive that the priioner and deceased had got np a rase between their own horses, that Hoani's horse w«n, that the prisoner and Hoani had made a bit of fire shillings each ou his horse; that the succeis of Hoani had aroused the jealousy of the pri toner, and thi« led to an altercation between them. The defence would be a denial ot the whole of thtse circumstances, set np for the purpose of providing the mctire to the alleged quarrel. There was no such race between Mikaere and Hoani, no bet of the kind. The whole of the «vid«nce for the de fence pointed to the great probability that if a blow caused th» man's death, that blow was dealt by another hand. Abraham Isaacs, a storekeeper, carving on business at Cambridge and the Kotorna road, depesed to having seen the brothers (Uoani and Te Pana) fighting on the race conrse about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The whole of the people belonging to the hapu were endeavouring to separate them. The Court then adjourned till 10 am. to-day.

THIS DAY.

The Oxford manslaughter case was pro ceeded with to-day. Heperi gave evidence to the effect that he saw the deceased and bis brother fighting at the conclusion of the first race. When all the races were over, witness made two bets with deceased, and they ran their horeea against each other. Witness's horse won on both occasions. He heard a dispute between the deceased and prisoner, when the deceased's brother came and dragged the former away. Soon after that, a call was made that Hoani was dead.

Hoani'Wikiriwhi gave corroborative evL dence.

Kewi te Iliwi deposed that he saw the matches run off. The horse run by Heperi was his. He had lent him. Saw the quarrel, but did not witness the termination. After the last wager race bad been ran he left the course.

Natana gave evidence to tlio effect that he left the course before the last programme race, and was not on the course again. He did n><t fight that day with Peina as alleged by previous witnesses for the prosecution.

Haniiora deposed that he was at the races, and left the course immediately after

the la?t progiamrre race, He saw Kara maina (who was alleged to have seen the man killed) at Isaac's store at Oxford. He was buying a rope. This, witness was still beiag examined when we went to press.

No creditors were present at the meeting in the estate of Charles Marks to-day, and Mr Thos. Macffarlane was appointed trustee by the Registrar. In future the readers of the STAR in the entire Poasonby district will be supplied by runners, leaving the papers at their doors, instead of agents as previously. It is hoped by this cbaDge that subscribers will receive the paper earlier and be saved the trouble of sending out for ib. M? J. Petford has completed all the gaso lene work at the Asylum, and is going to light up the whole of the buildiDg to-night with about 250 light*. The final competition for Mr James Mace's trophies will take place at the Lorue-etreet Hail to-morrow even ing. There will be a host of fresh "talent" including a local professor of the art of self-defence I named Montie. Photographs of Mr Mace will be given to the first 150 p«raons in the I stalls and dress circle. . The Oxford manslaughter case was still proceeding at the Supreme Com t when we went to press. Five witnesses had been examined for the defence to-day, and several more had to be called on. It is intended to proceed with the case ! until a late hour to-night, in order that it ■ may be finished before the Court adjourns again. Should it conclude to-night, His I Honour will sit again at 10 a.m. to-mor- I row, when tho charge of bigamy against 1 Elizabeth Uarrach will be heard. The charge of arson preferred against Joseph Merrick will probably come on next Mon day, and will last either two or three da;?. It will be seen that there is no chance of. {he Ciyil Sessions commencing on Monday,
