The " Herald" haa to-day hand«d ot« i:.a leading colamn3 to a personal enemy of oflirC.F. Bonrae, Bead-Master of the Grammar School. The animus v 90 manifest from the opening sea tea cc to the «:o'jictf line, thai it carries its own as tidote. 'Ibat Mr Boanie ah»uid h*ve enemies Li not Tery remarkable, eonaideriig tils cucninaSancea under which he entered upon hia work ia thii cisy; bat tiiit those enemies do not include a tingle parent of any boy attendisg the school, or any person haviag the alighted acqaafot ante with thescholastic work being carried on under Mr Bourne's direction we are abao* Intel? certain We are not aaiprued at the animus, bus we confess that we had not conceived so poor an ,opicion of oar con temporary aa to believe that it had des cended to the position of a ihnderer of good men, arid a paltry tool £ot the wreaking of private animosities. The statements on which the " Herald " Base* its attack upon Mr Boarne to-day, are not only malicious, they are false. Like most alandereM, therefore, the "Hmld" com bines its vilification with the kindred rice. We like to be exact in oar statement*, and therefore quote the opening icntcocs of tha "Herald's" article, which strikes the key note of the while,, and shall then give the acSßal words of Mr Boorne's report to the Board on drawing. The " Herald " 3ays :—

"The remonstrance of the head-master of the Anckland Grammar School on the naeleunew of the teacbin" of drawing, and the coaiptawant way in which the remons trance was received by the Governors, most lead people to fear that the institntton is not in the beat of bands."

This is tbe concluding paragraph of Mi Bourne's repott, to which the " Herald's " remarks had reference:—"ln England all endowed school* which have been re organised by the Government Cornmu •ionera—and these include, perhaps, nine tenths of tbe whole number are directed ta include both vocal music and drawing in the ordinary comae. So far as my experience goes, the literal fnliilrnent of the provision v regards .".inking has been, found impossible in any real sense, bnt in many cases its spirit ia carried oat by excellent choirs and glee clubs. Drawing, howzver, has generally been Introduced with very happy result*. I hope that it may tome day be found pos sible to proride thia school with a regular master for drawing and writing, but whilst I think it important that the master for these subject* should be a member of the ordinary staff, I am of opinion that at pre sent the whole time of a master would not be occupeid with profit, and, on the other hand, it ia not easy to find gentlemen qualified to give ."scientific instruction in drawing and also to bake part in tbe other work of the ecbooL In the meantime, the acceaai&n to our staff of Mr X, X, Walking, brother of the drawing-master, has enabled me to introduce geometrical draw ing in three forms." Now, it will be seen that so far from remonstrating on "tbe uselessnean e f teaching drawing," Mr Bourne commended the study in unqualified terms, and informed the Board of Gmrernors that he has been enabled to introduce geome trical drawing into three classes, and hopea that a writing and drawing master will one day become a permanent member of the ordinary teaching »taf£ i What Mr Bourne, however, did object to— and, we think, very properly—was the df« organisation caused by optional classes being held at times which interfered with the ordinary work of the school. He pointed out that the withdrawal ef boyi from a number of different classes kept other boys bask, and compelled one clan for a time to share tin class-room of another form. "In my opinion," he added, "no classes which are of thb optional character shoald be held during the ordinary school hours." Everyone, whether | osgesscd of special knowledge or not, who gives the subject a moment's at tention, will thoroughly endorse the Head master's remarks, and the judiciousness oi the change he suggested. But what of the " Herald f That it has been wilfnlly misled we have do doabt, but will it have the maollne»s to retracl and give up tbo name of the writer of the article? If it docs, it will be anything but true to its traditi ns. We rather expect to see some new outbreak of malevolence against Mr Bourne.simply be cause its own over-eagerneis to take up any "cock and bull story" against the Grammar School and its master has. in this instance, placed the paper in a ridicu lous and contemptible position,

A fracas amongst several members of the Chancery Lane sisterhood took place this morning at about 11 o'clock, and in connc (pence, the police airested a well-known character named Mary .Ann Lonjr, on a charge of drunkenness and disorderly con duct.

To the Editor: Sir,—Noticing a wrici of motions given by Mr JBoardmai to come on at Ihc next Council meeting -one in refer ence to the formation and gravelling of a number of atreefs I do ao% object to, but f certainly think it bad U^te leaving out the Richmond Koad and other works in its vicinity, which it U absolutely neceasiry should ba done at once. It is well known that the Kictimond tfoad has b^eo in a dis graceful state /or a namb.:r of years, and at time 3 airaply impaisabie. The said road baa been a bone of contention between, two Highway Eosmli for a Ion? time, and now I certainly think it should be one of the first worki undertaken by the Council in this ward. I hope Mr Boardman will see his way to amend the notice of motion and include it and ako the other s'reets

nea' it, whic>i he knows, as at present left, are dangerous, and it U at times very diffi cult to get to our houses.—Yours, etc., X DfTTOX.

A telegram from Tanranga yesterday stated that tronble waa likely to arise over tbe removal of property in Mr James Kelly's estate. A correspondent supplies the following particular* :—" At the lime of tbe bankrupt's filing, an inventory was duly tiken of the plant, and a man placed in chirge on behalf of the Registrar. .Not withstanding thi.», it is asserted, several article* were afterwards muainjr, cjpecially the day previous to the sale, A valuable horse was taken away from among other hones, and after the gale a buggy wai claimed and taken out of the stablea by Mr W. Kelly, and taken up-country. At the sale, Mr W. Kelly claimed almos' every second article that was put up. This waa followed by the arrival of the trustee, Mr A, D, Bennett, of Auckland. Informa tions were laid, and several parts of the plant, including the horse, were recovered by the trastee, but are claimed by one of Kelly's relations, Tne trustee's action in the matter la generally commended. The Rev. J. X, Davis gave another of bi3 series of Wednesday evsning lectures last evening, in All Sainta' Church, on the life and teachings of the great apostle. The lecture waa preceded by a s>hort service, and the singing ot a hymn. lie snbjfct laat night was descriptive of tbe Temple at Ephesus, the worship of Diana, its myster ious symbols and commercial associa tions, and St. Paul's tiacbing*, which bad theeffect of winning many people from tbe sbriaesof the goddess, and of stirring up a sort of insurrection among the silversmiths who cried out, " The craft ia in danger the g«dfiess will b« despised, and the ma", mficent temple destroyed," not that these crafumen cared much for the goddess, but pemonal interest was involved.

We are pleased to fiad that «ome of the Southern membere have had an opportunity of seeing how our Auckland railways are managed. Last evoninj? Messrs J. Evan'. Brown, Shephard, and Dobaon, member?, of tbe Hoa»e of Representatives, who have been on a brief visit to Auckland, wended their way to the miserable shed known ai the Auckland ftailway fetation, with the intention of taking the 6 p.m. train for One huDga to embark on board the flinemoa. On arriral, they found no porter was in attendance, and they were accorded the privilege of loading a truck with their im pedimenta themselves. U appeared highly probable at one time that they wonld have to trundle the said truck to tbe train and onload it, bnt Mr Took*, who was seeing Mr Brown off, suggested appealing to the guard, who civilly ran the laden trucK down to the luggage van, and stowed it away. The station wai apparently left in control of a young ticket clerk, who waa evidently well up in knowing nothing. As one of the members aaid : "Such a state of thiofts would not b3 tolerated South f.jr an hour, I cannot understand how you Auckland people put up with such management " Mr Brown had also a striking instance of bow our Auckland cabmen treat strangers. Having employed a hansom to convey him self and dauiibtcr to the station-time occupied about three-tjuatters of an hour — the gentleman driving demanded the nodeat sum of seven shillings and six pence, rcfos"d to give his name or number, and, on Mr Brown appealing to Mr Tonki, who was present, cabby nonde-cended to accent the sum of four shillin»s; informiu" Mr Brown he would "give him his namu when he (Mr JJ.) came up here to run tramways," Tn« vmitors have gone away with the coDviolion, yery common among strangera, that our railway is worse managed, and our cabmen more extor tionate, than in any other part of the world,

Presuming thst the writer ban good grounds for his assertion.*, I, as an old sub*criber, would like to be informed why something ha< etc now not been done with this money, held in trust by the Treasurer (Mr H. H. LaaSr, I believe.) A* regards tbe land owned by the society, I am told that up till very recently it has been occupied by the Board of Edncation for school pur poses. Their teoure of occupation having now ceased, the land, if unsaited for a Women's Home, might be sold, and with the proceeds another property purchased; Ot better still, a site conld b* leaned, and the balk of the fond) made available for building. At ail events, I tolly agree with your correspondent that some practical steps should be taken at once.—lam, &c., AS(7B*.RIBER.

To the Kditor : Bir,—l noticed in the STAE «f last evening thst a proposition will be brought before the Council at its next meeting re opening of a branch of tbe Public Library at Pontonby. Would it not be well, whilst the attention of tbe Council Is employed noon this subject, to consider the necessity of a circulating or lending department in connection with the Public Library ? It would entail a little more trouble and out'ay, but the monies got from fines and the Rale of ticket* would help to reduce the cost, It would give tbe people of Auckland a privilege enjoyed by all residents in the large towns in England. The princely gift ef Sir <J, Grey could be used aa a reference library. lam cure the subject is worthy the attention ot the Council, as at very little trouble and ex pense a great boon would be conferred upon the reading public of Auckland. By in nerting the abave you will greatly oblige, Yourg, &c, A ttnADER.

It may be interesting; to many of our readers to know that tbe ship Loch awe, which arrived from Londpn this morning, is the same vessel which, eight years ago, made the fastest passage on record from London to jUew Zealand. In June, 1874, the Loch Awe, tben a new vessel, and in splendid trim, arrived here, under com mand of Captain James Weir, after the remarkable passage of 76 days from London, and 69 days 4 hours from land to land. She left Gravciend on April 6tb, saw the last of the land on tbe 11th, creased the Equator on tie 30th April, at midnight, sighted Tristan li'Acunha on May 17, was abreast of Taamanh June 13; aizhied Three Kings Jane 19; the passage from land to laud thus being tnade ia ttie unprecedented time of 60 days 4 hours.

J. fcoppett v. W. McCanl-Claim, £16 as, commission.—Mr Tborne for plaintiff and Mr Coteman for defendant.— lbis ca*e was beard la*t Coart-aay, and HU Worship now gave judgment as follows:— This action was originally brought for com mission oa tale of land, for which w»s sub stituted a claim for price of advertising and carriage hire, and for work and labour, ail in relation to plaintiff's search for a purchaser. The plaintiffs o*n version of the matter ia ai follows :— In January last defendant told me if I coaid sell Lv land for £550, he would give me £3 per cent., or if I could get £500 he would pay me £5 per cent, oa the first £100 and 27s on the balance, bat in no cs.-e would he tell under £500. He also re quired wall if said for £,100, but wonld tike tetms if £550 was obtained. On Saturday, Jaiy 31st, I submitted an offer of £500 on deferred payment, which was declined, and on the following Monday I received notice that defendant withdrew the pro perty and had closed with a customer.— fa reply to the Court,defcndaut stated that he had not cold below the terms on which he had authorised plaintiff to act. Kefer ence to moat or all the decided cues bear-

ing on the point leads me to just the con clusion expressed on the hearing, and which, in Fiber's Digest, 7,006, is put in these clear words :—" Where the authority of an asjeot employed to sell on commission is revoked by tne principal before a sale has been effected, the right of the agent to remuneration for what he has done in endeavouring to effect a sale, depends opoa the term* oa which lie was employed." As plaintiff* own version, whlcn is quite clear, of the terms ia this case are ac cepted, it only remain* to ask Was he to have £5 per cent, if he fonod the ■tipolated purchaser, and to be paid for his trouble, and be remunerated for any outlay if he did not ? To that I answer no. £5 per cent, where a sale is effected, is good enough pay to cover, and ia in tended to cover, loss of time) and money on abortive attempts, and in any ca»o tuch waa the contract in this cise. It only remains to add tint in Toppin r. Healey, W.8., 466. Erie, U. J., says: " I hold it to be clear that, where an agent is employed, that employment may be revoked before performance," so that defendant's estate, by rraion of the contract made with the plaintiff, is not sup posed to be tied ud in perpetuity. — Plain tiff non-suit-d, costs, £3 16s, J. Sperry v.F.Larkins — Claim,£ll4s 4d, property tax—Mr H. Williamson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant.- The plaintiff ia the frs perty Tax Commissioner, and the defendant was seed "for the trustees of Robert Harris," he himself being a trustee in that estate. The defence was that the defen dant could not be fined personally, bntthat he should have been sued conjointly with his co-triietces, Thoa. Morrin and John Buchanan.— Mr Cooper stated that, as a matter ot fact, time were no assets in the estate, otherwise the tax would have been paid. The estate bad been wound up, and divided two or three years ago. His Wor ship adjourned tbe case for a fortnight iv order that the other trustees thould be likewise .summoned.

Edwards and Co. v. J, Mctfenzie.— Claim, £5 4s 4d, for goods Bupplied.— Mr E, Uooper appeared for the plaintiffs and the defendant in person,— The defendant, by the evidence of-his sod, proved thi pay ment of £1 on account, and judgment was given for tho balance, £4 4a. W. L. Koth v. J. Halliday.-Claiin, ss, money lent.—The plaintiff stated that he lent tbe money some four years ago in order _ that the defendant might pmchase ma'.crial for finisbipg a pair of shoes. He was touched with compassion at tbe lime, and. had only brought the claim through indisposition to be " bested." He was always willing to lend a few shillings in cases of neceßsity,aud he never asked or looked foi interest.—Mrs Koth gave corroboiativc evidence.
