An assaultof an impertinent and often rive nature-was committed this morning upon Mr John Young, erecer, of Shortland ilreetrb,} a shoemaker inam«d Hutson, Jiving in Princes.Btreet. It appears that tbe irate shoemaker had been sufTerwa from indigestion, and fancied a couple of eggs for breakfast. He sent for half-a dozen, and, finding a couple of them rather musty, although Mr Young considered them sweet, he went hurriedly to the shop of the grocer, and, without saying a word, be threw four eggs into Mr Youngs face and bolted. Mr Young leaped over his counter, and immediately was in full chase, Mr Young without his coat, and Hutson panting in his colorless slippers. The scene caused an immense sensation for some time. Hutson rushed into the shop of Messrs Hellaby, butchers, and crouched behind the j block, and unfortunately split bjfl trousers in the sudden stoop. Mr Young eailght itutson by the extended leg, and raised his fist, as if intending to take mus cular vengeance on the cobbler, but was persuaded not to strike, but appear for re dress at the Police Court, which he pro poses to do. The cries of the poor shoe maker, "Don't, don't, pray don't-strike a fellah when he's down," caused roars of laughter among the interested spectators. Hutson said his constitution Tteuld not stand bad eggs; they were not easy of digestion,

STRANGE CASE AT HOKITIKA.

HOi-ITIKA, Monday. ON Saturday last a boy found the body of a man lying on the sea beach near Hokitika. It was fully dressed. There was no flesh whatever on tho head, and the eyes were gone. The body had evidently been there for some days. In the coat pocket was found a Post Office Savings Bank bo jk in the name of Bernard Heslin, depositor. The book showed Heslin had drawn out of the bank, on the 11th inst., £5. In one of his trousers pockets £5 6s in cash was found. In the other three revolver cartridges. A sa-all revolver, quite new, was found close to the body; one of the chambers was loaded, and another had been discharged. An inquest was held this afternoon, and the jury returned a verdict that deceased, Bernard Heslin, came by his death by a pistol shot, whether by accident or other wise there was no evidence to show.

THE DOMAIN.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l have read with interest your leader on the present position ot the Domain Board, and on its proposals for providing additional funds by soiling building leases for a portion ot the property. I did not disouss these proposals in the letter which you did me the favour to insert, because it seemed that a larger question lay behind them. Why is tho Domain Board in its preeent difficult position, and why is it forced, in order to extricate itself from that position, to make proposals whloh nothing but its necessities can be pleaded to excuse? The Board Is', acting as tho agent ot. the general Government, who assumed tho trusteeship when they destroyed the local authorities in whom it was formerly veßted. The Board has accepted the agorcy without stipulating for funds to, enable It to .do the work creditably to itself, -and' with benefit to the community. It is not too late for ths members to remedy this mistake, and to say to the General Government tbat It must fl«rl them In funfls or acoept their resignation, Jf» instead ot:doing this, the Board allows tap. leaslrg proposals to bo carrledinto efCeot, new and adverse interests' will be, Created. The frefe enjoyment, which is ono of the greatest Charms in such property, will bo lost, and tho bublio will pradual'y learn to feel that it is a disagreeable Intruder on a large part of Its own property. I give credit for the best motives to the gentlemen comprising the Board, and I a_ sure they will best consult their own dignity and the inter?sts of the publio if they refuse, as agents for the 'general Government, to raise money br means whl"h no Ministers would vluturo to use themselves.-*ours, ta.^

MR ROBSON'S ENTERTAIN MENT.

There was a large and fashionable audi • ence at the Parneli Hall last evening on tho occasion of the appearance of Mr Hobson, the Australian elocutionist, in one of his popular dramatic and musical recitals. The entertainment was under the patronage of Bis Lordship the Bishop of Auckland and Mrs Cowie. Mr Robson's genial and un assuming manner at once placed him on the - best of terms with his audience, and the applause which followed each number was hearty and genuine. After a piano solo by M. Lorenz, who is a musician of more than average ability, Mr Rob son recited De Quincey's "Vision of Infinite apace," justly considered one of the mast beautiful pieces of word painting in English literature. This was followed by the "Bond Scene," from "The Merchant of Venice," in which the elocutionist ably represented Shylock, Antonio, and Baa. sanio. More successful, however, was the scene from " Hamlet," in which the melan choly Dane soliloquises over Yorick's skull, and in which occurs the immortal passage, "Imperial Ctesar, dead and turned to clay ; might stop a crack to keep the wind away." The personation of the first gravedigger was decidedly amusing. Another Shakesperiau item was that known as "Clarence's Dream," which Mr Kobson rendered with rare power and dramatic effect. A pathetic 1 recitation,"Curfew must nottoll to-night," is perhaps one of the moat meritorious piece in Mr Robson's repertoire. The applause that followed its rendition was deafening. The elocutionist gave ample proof of his power to delineate humorous scenes by his recital of Mackenzie's well known sketch, "The Bashful Man," "The Squeers' Family," from Nicholas l\ickleby, and a Scotch reading. Mr Rob son, though he does not hail from the north of the Tweed, can simulate the " awkcent" with the utmost facility. Cn doubtedly the most wonderful portion of the performance wa3 the singing by Mr H ibson, iua pure soprano voice.of the celt; b.ated aria from "La Sonnambula "— 1 "Come per me sereno." Tho notes were clear and thoroughly feminine, and what is the more surprising, those in tbe upper register were the strongest. The piece was sung correctly in tho original key, and the ; singer reached D in alt. with tbe ■ greatest ease. This note, it is scarcely ; necessary to mention, ia seldom : reached by the best trained female voca- ' lists. An enthusiastic encoro was demau- > ded, to which Mr Robson responded by : singing the ever popular "Comin' Thro' the Rye." Mr Robson will appear at tbe Theatre Royal this evening under the patronage of the Bishop and His Worship tho Mayor. The merit of the entertainment certainly deserves a bumper house.
