Eller (Collector of Rates foe I City Council) v. Dempsey. -Claim, £H 10s, for rates.—Mr T. Cotter appeared for the Council, Mr Theo. Cooper for tho defen dant.—Mr Cooper raised the following points :-(l) That the appointment of the Collector was not under seal, and therefore he was not "duly " authorised to sue under tho Rating Act; (2) that the rate book was not a rate book within the meaning of the Rating Act, as it did not contain the requi sites prescribed by Section 30 of tho Rating Act; (3) that the rates sued for were not yet due ; (4) that the notico of demand was not signed, as required by the Act.—Mr Cotter having repfied to these points, His Worship resemed judgment. ELLER V. Dempsby.—Claim, £6 2a 6d for rates.—ln this case also Mr Cotter ap peared for the Council, and Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant.—Mr Cotter stated that the action was brought under section 54 of the Rating Act, that Mr Wm. Aitken •was rated as owner, but Mr Dempsey. was the occupier.—lt was agreed to admit the Rate Book In evidence, subject to tho same objections raised in the former case.—Mr Eller deposed that Mr Dempsey lived in the premises rated. He served a notice of demand on Mr Aitken, who told him tbat Mr Dempsey was to pay tho rates. He afterwards served Dempsey in the street.—Cross-examined by Mr Cooper: To the best of his know ledge and belief Mr Dempsoy lived on the premises; He had made enquiries from the neighbours and at the hotel opposite the house, and was so in formed. He had not enqnired at the house nor had he asked Dempsey himself. Other than this he had no personal knowledge that Dempsey lived there. He did not think ho lived there now.—This was tho plaintifi's case. -Mr Cooper contended that the plaintiff must fail, as no evidonce of occupation had been given.—Mr Cotter re plied, and submitted that a prima facie case was made out, but His Worship agreed with Mr Cooper that Dempsey's occupation of the premises had not been proved. Plaintiff was therefore nonsuited.-Mr Cotter opposed costs being allowed.—His Worship said it was a proper case for costs, and the nonsuit was entered with costs. Tho Court then adjourned.

Tiio npßfors to sliaoing , about, as . .uspal, ,a, little gold generally' -cbttiinnble,; and tho W level is being: pitshed ahead!, as fast as possible through the hard ground which the ' faco Ims entered. The Colonial shows steady work, and may any time como to tlic front agaiu. In the meantime the shareholders complacently hide their time, knowing that a substantial reserve fund is at the back of the company. The Gem arc also in good funds, and arc having it mining survey made previous to selling additional shares on behalf of tho claim. Coromandel mining stock is likely (o be in great demand in Auckland after a tltr'o,, _.i.r_ i. little business doing iv the Auckland.sliai-eniai-lf-et hi ihtf lti!t!iiiK pro perties ; but more actual,sales arc.bclloved to have taken place in Coroinandel stock thou,in (ill the others put together,, On Thursday, quite a damper was put on the shareholders of Blnckmore's mine by a telegram published,in Auckland that tho clcaning-up had only given SOozs. of gold. Longnccs were to be seen os the matter was discussed, and it was admitted that had the return been lOOozs. it would have satis fied them, but. ns only oOozs. were reported it gave great uneasiness, and the manager's qllico was besciged during tha day with anxious enquirers. However, the perturbed souls of shareholders were quieted when the correct result was given, namely, ISOozs, and the investors, after congratu lating each other, went home happy. Tho Stanley has been gotting some nice gold, and many other claims aro doing steady work, which it is hoped will not be in vain. Tho Tokatea manager reports a change for the better in driving No. 7 level. The dig that cut oiit some 70 feet back is again coming in. The lode is better defined, and the quartz more promising in appearance. A few stones have bccii Obtained showing Strong colours of coarse gold, which was quite unexpected, as the lode is still Off its true course, but with the underlie north instead of south as it should bo. There is no change to report from the stopes iv the intermediate ievel.

It is notified by advertisement that the Auckland Goods Sbcd will be closed on Monday.

Tenders for siipplies for St Sepulchre. Orphanage were opened to-day. Tho suc cessful tenderers are : Mr Elley for meat; Mr Sulwell, for bread; and Messrs Hcv. in and Brother, for groceries.

The Hoii. Mr Bolleston arrived at Christ church from the West Coa»t yesterday, and left for Dunedin yesterday morning;

At a committee meeting of the Timaru Harbour Board, the tender of Hector Mc- Kenzie, of Dunedin, was ac«#pUd for 210 feet of extension of the whart.

Thero is great troublo among the Volun. teets in Queensland, and a commission is to be appointed to inquire into tho wotkings of the force.

A meeting of shareholders in tbo Hauraki Sawmill Company was held at Messrs 1 1 V. Nathan and Company's office to-day; Mr Nathan presiding. Tho report road by Mi Griitiths.whlch was adopted, stated that the company originally held 7,000 acres leasehold, and I hat tho profits of the past year had been utilised in the purchase of 3000 acres, which, with 1000 acres already belonging to tho Company, gave it 4000 acres freehold. Tbe expenditure tor tho year was £1,594 17s. Tho election of the directors was defcired to a futuro meeting. Mr Baker was appointed auditor,

For some time past the members of the various cricket clubs who patronise the Domain ground have been subjected to con* siderable annoyance through a system of petty thefts which arc perpetrated by some penons at present unknown. Tbe Civil Service Ciicket Club have a box in the pavillion in which is kept its cricketing materials, and this box is constantly broicen open and various articles extracted. At the commencement of the season the club had ten good bats, and now but one remains, snd tbat one is broken. Their dissappearance is attributed to others than members of the C, C. Club, . Again, Mr Percy Du'aur was in the babit of keeping sever..! cricketing necessaries locked -up in a box, and this was also burst open, and leg-guards, ■ .tumps, etc., dissappeared, while the Auck land Cricket Club recently purchased a strong box to preserve their goods, but found it wrenched open three days afterwards, several articles having disappeared. This, indeed, is a most unsatisfactory state of things, and some united action, should be taken to prevent the recurrence of such contemptible pilfering.

With reference to the removal of three natives from carriages on the Kaipara train, wc are informed that tho reason was not in order to reserve the carriages specially for Europeans, but the same thing is frequently done with whites. Special carriages had been reserved for the kiDg's patty, so as to bo all together, and enable the guard not only to be sure of those entitled to travel on the Government pass, but also to enable the guard to at tend to roadside passengers without having to go through the train each time. This should be fully explained to the natives.

Mr Smith has, by request, arranged to I give another of bis panoramic views ot English and American scenery on Kegatta night at the Albert Hall. Mr Smith gave a private entertainment to Tawhiao and party, who were very much pleased with the views, especially those of Auckland 30 years ago, and a number of Maori chiefs, &c, and the views of tho Now Zealand Alps, with their snow-capped mountains and ice bridges. The White i and Pink Terraces also captivated their attention, and the real waterfall, producing water of various colours. The " Hauraki Tribune," of the 2lst inst. (published at Paeroa), gives the fol lowing account of the progress on the Waihi goldfields :—" The Martha have cut a reef in their big tunnel, supposed to be the Young Colonial, and to be a distinct reef from the Martha and Dulcibe). If this should be found to be correct, it will lead to the working of a good deal of ground only very slightly prospected as yet. All the work at the batteries and races is being steadily carried on. The sawmill is doing good work, and there is every likelihood of a start for crushing being made* in. March. Tom Corbett's hotel is being put in shape as fast as hammer and nails can be driven."
