PONSONBY-A BOROUGH OR CITY.

(To the Editor.)

SIB —If any of your Ponsoriby readers are in doubt as jaow they ought to vote on this ouestwn, let them visit a few of the streets in Fernl'sigh and Alma Place, for Instance Scotland-street, Middle-street, Cascade-street, Ireland-street, Fernleigh street, Rimmel-street, and Arthur-street, besides several others which are studded ""thickly with housps and yet are in the same state as when Captain Cook visited New Zealand, in the Kndeavour.in 1769. Then let them turn to Campbellville - the very name of which place was unknown until a very few years ago—see there the well made and well-metalled streets ; not one or two here and there, but street after street nnd streets crossing them again until the lengths can be counted by miles—yes, actually by miles. Look at the deep cut tings and the fillings, look at the pipes un derneath the filled-in gullies! In a day's march yon could nt count them, yet where are tho houses? In one street upon which about £400 is now being ipent, and which I am credibly in formed will take £1200 more to complete, there are four houses—actually four houßea. Let me repeat it once more, for the benent of a long suffering people -actually fonr , houses, in a cross-street which has already coat hundreds of pounds, upon which hundreds are now being spent, and which cannot possibly be used until many hundreds more are sunk in It. The <mt«ome of all this is : that so long as the Set Is ruled by Mr Masefield and his iackall Field will the system be continued, md the only tope for justice that exists for the owner* of properties m the several ne ß lected streets v to jom tZcity. Mr .field has issued another of his lying circulars. Knowing well that he ia merely a tool, I overlook him, but he should no y t state untruths. He knows well that a cottage of £20 yearly '?«« " «g really subject to a rating of IBs IM per annum-and is not necessarily, bound 0 pay £3 14s lOd a year, as Mr Field ;would have.people believe.-Sfours &c, , . alma Place.

THE ALLEGED INCENDIA RISM AT CAMBRIDGE.

[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

CAMBRIDGE, this day. Thb Inquiry into.the circumstances under whioh Dent was found on the premises of Mr Carter, coach proprietor, adjolnlog the National Hotel, bag resulted In his Uitoharge. It was clearly shewn that Dent had laid down among some shavings In the stable whan Intoxicated, and wr3 awakened by fire blazing around him. He got up and extinguished the flic himself and afterwards told the watchman. Colonel Lyons, tho presidlner J.P,, discharged him with a cau tion. The affair therefore throws no light upon the recent fires in the hotel.

POLL OF PONSONBY RATE PAYERS.

Thk poll of Ponsonby ratepayers, to deter mine whether the district shall be formed into a borough or united with the city, commenced at the Ponsonby Hall at noon to-day, and will continue until 8 o'clock this evening. Mr S. Y. Collins conducted the ballot, and was assisted by Mr Gulliver, clerk of the Board. Only twenty-three vutcs had been registered up till 2.30 p.m., but as the poll was not an open one, it was impossible to ascertain which side had the majority. The small knot of people who held the position at Stanford's corner were impressed with the desirability of a union with tho city, and indeed the feeling throughout tne district appears to be' strongly in favour of this step being taken. It is expected that nearly the whole of the ratepayers resident in the district will record their votes this evening. Every ratepayer has a right to vote, whether he is in arrears with his votes or not.

SUPREME COURT.-In Cham bers.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Administration, &o.—ietters of ad ministration were granted in re John Graham and Joseph Parker (deceased), while the order for letters of administration in re Win. i: niton (deceased) was renewed, —An order was also made to register a copy ot the will of Thos. James Jagger. R» the Land Transfer Act of 1870, and re application No,JIBIO of Bobt. Blkazard, —Motion for order directing District Registrar to issue certificate ot title, etc.— Mr E. Heskoth appeared in support of the motion, and Mr Cotter for the .Registrar. The property in respect of which a title was sought had been conveyed by one Elizabeth Baker to one Eliza Wood, her heirs and assignees, but not for her separate use, who subse quently married a man named Hans By gum. Mrs lSygum died, and her husband, as administrator of her estate, con veyed the property already mentioned to Kobt. Bleazard. ".The question that His Honor was called upon to determine was whether the word "persons," as used in the Administration Act of 1879, ex tends to, and includes, married women who hold property not for separate use, as such persons are unable to dispose of their property by will.—Mr Cotter contended that ps the Act by section 10, sub-section 1, I direct* the executor to hold tha property in trust for the persons mentioned in the will, therefore the Act presumes that these persons had a tcstimenti factio — the power of disposing of the property by will—and consequently that it could only have been intended to apply to the estates of such persona as had willingly or negligently omitted to make a will disposing of their estate?. In support of this contention, the learned gentleman quoted the case of Kevin v. Keelau (7 South Australian Law Reports), in which he said upon an almost identical set of circumstances and an Act containing almost similar clauses to our own, Judge Qwynne held that the Legislature never con templated that the statute should affect the property of married women.—Mr E. He3keth replied that the word "persona " as used in the Act had a plain and unambiguous meaning, and that nothing contained in any of the provisions of the Act would justify the Court in limiting its construction so as to apply only to a particular sort of persons. His Honor inclined to the same view of the case. Tae object of the Act, ha said, was to convert reality into personality, and although it might be so framed as to admit of much unfairness and wrong, still it was so clearly anil pointedly worded that until it wag amended he cauld not bt anminisfer it as it wab obviously intended to be administered. He did -nt auite admit thac)o>eneßß of limi larity which the South Austiuu^n Act was stated to bear to the New Zehi« n( i one of title. The certificate was th t . ce f ore ordered to be issued as prayed for. j\'o costs were allowed. His Honor promiseu to ascertain if any of the other Judges in this Colony had recently given judgment on tbe same matter. Re John ,Ui>ciiES (a debtor) —Mr E. Bosketh moved for an order of adjudication in this casf, An order was made, directing the debtor to present himself on the 12th April for examination. jrtE Caroline Keen.—Mr W, Thome moved for an order empowering Caroliae Keen to utll certain lands without the con currence of her husband.—lt was sgreed tp dispense with the husband's concurrence. King V Success G.M. Co.—Motion for an interim injunction to restrain the defen dants from tmrther mining operailpns on Karak .. 1 Block.—Mr E. Heaketh appeartii iv support •£ thp motion, and Mr James Russell in opposition, ■ The injunc tion was refused. [The' particulars are given elsewhere. I' 8 In tije Matter of " Tbe Leases akd sales of settled estate* act. lf-65," and the petition of Sosan Jahe FAIRBUBN.-Mr A. E. !Whitaker, in this matter, applied for the Court's approval of the form of conveyance.—Granted, This concluded the business.

IN BANCO.

TINLIKE &PICKBEINO V. GWYNNETH & MACKAY-Demurrer to declaration. —Mr J. iM, Alexander (instructed by Messrs Hay and JSpecd, Hamilton) appeared tor the defendant^ Gwynnetn, id support of the demurrer, and Mr i'heo. Cooper [instructed by Messrs Travers and Cave, of Welling ton) appeared tor theplainijffs in support;of the declaration.—l be action was for breach of covenant, founded on a deed oj agreement between the plaintiffs and defendants, in which the defendants agreed to survey 40,000 acres of land at Wanganui, and to endeavour to get a valid title from tho native owners. The land was native land, and bad not yet passed through the Court. The defendants, it was alleged, had neglected to perform the agree ments, and the plaintiffs claimed £3,000 damages. The defendant Gwynnefh demuired to the declaration on the ground that the agreement was void under the 87th section of the Native Lands Act, 1873.—Mr Alexander contended that the contract affected Native Lands, and was consequently void under the Act. He wag heard at length in support of his contention.—His Honor: I do not thisk it necessary to call upon you, Mr Cooper, to support the declaration, lam clearly ot opinion that the declaration is good. The agrtoment sued upon sets out an advance of money as a consideration. For that advance the defendants agree 1o snrvey the land, and if they obtainthe.Jsnd to convey same, according to the agreement, to the plaintiff*. If they do not get the land, then there was an end of it so far as regarded the land. This agreement is not a transfer, gift, contract or promise affecting native land, and therefore does not come within the 87th section of the Native Lands Act, 1873. The demurrer must, therefore, be overruled with costs,— Mr Alexander applied for leave to plead,— His Honor granted leave to plead within 14 days, on payment ■of costs; costs to be taxed in Auckland. ! This was aft the business, and the Court then rosp.

ALLEGED MIXING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Application for Injunction,

A matter of very'aonsideraole importance, as affecting the privileges and rights of miniug companies upon proclaimed gold fields, w.i 3 brought before Mr Justice Gillies in chambers this morning. Mr H.Heaketh, as counsel for Mr F, Ring, moved for an in junction to restrain the Success Gold mining Company from carrying on certain mining operations which they have been pro fitably engaged upon fsr some time past on the Karaka No. 1 block, Coromandel. A portion of the mine is situated on this block, which was the property of Wirernu Tauroa, a native chief, who died several years ago, and the Government, in November, last issued a Crown grant in respect of it to Peter Tauroa, son of Wiiemu, and. ward of Mr Ring. The issue of tha Crown grant v/as only made known to Mr Ring a fort night ago, and he has lost no time, there fore, in asserting a claim to absolute ownership of the land. Mr Hesketh briefly set forth the particulars, and his argument in support of the motion which Mr James Russell, who appeared for the Success Company, opposed. He main. tamed that no Crown Grant could extin guish the right of the publicto mine on a Eroclaimed golrtfield, His Honor afier earing both gentlemen said that the motion opened up a very large questioD. So far as he could see, Mr Muckay had sworn that the land under notice was within the Kapanga block, i.e., within the boun daries of the goldfield, and tbe signature of Tauroa was actually appended to the peti tion for bringing it within the goldiield. He would not be prepared under the cir cumstances to grant tho injunction unless it was made very clear to him that the pro perty was not so included. His Honor ac cordingly refused the injunction, but in doing so suggested that as the question which it involved was of great public importance, it should be brought before him again on demurrer and then argued fully. This course will, In all probability, be adopted.
