Mr C. Whiteiord, R.M., gave judgment this morning in a test case which has been pending for some time, atfcct'ng the validity of the hackney carriage by-law recently passed by the City Council.

MILNER STEPHEN'S CURES.

(To the Editor.)

SlH,—I have read in your journal lately the reports of cures said to havo been effected through some kind of power or agency inherent.in the above-named gentle man. I have also read various comments which have appeared in the Stak, of cor respondents criticising hia operations, and what the gentleman has to say in his own defence. He is rather modest when he urges that "he repudiated the assertion that he had be£n making large sums of money out of the public and stated that very often he bad not made £10 per week, a sum which, for a lawyer, will be considered rather small, but for a man who sets himself up as a philanthropist.one would say waa abundant for all bis needs. Of course, judging from his language, one is led to infer that some weeks he nets a much larger sum than £10. I have not much sympathy either with Mr Stephen or those whom he so suc cessfully beguiles. I look upon him as a most audacious individual, and I consider that he reaches the climax of bis audacity when he tries to get thosewhoare listening to his etorics cf real or pretended cures,|_when he says "one of the lady Eatients stated that she had obtained relief y merely gazing on Mr Stephen's photo graph." It appears evident to me that so long as the game pays, Mr Stephen will continue to brave all I opposition, notwithstanding what may be said "by anonymous slanderers* in the Press, and even by a clergyman from tho pulpit." Ii Mr Milner Stephen ispisirona of stand ing beforo the world as a real philan thropist, let him cease to make the matter a question of money, let him throw himself fully into the work. If he possesses the power to do good to afficted humanity, then let him go to work regardless of pay, in the same way that Jesus Christ and his apoßtles did, or if he still in sists on retaining the money question in connection with his pretended cures, then let him work on the principle of no cure, no pay, and on such terms I under take to supply him a patient, who came to this colony a few months ago to recruit his health, and is now very much improved, but In all probability will shortly have to return, taking with, him one of his ailment?, unless Mr Stephen will undertake to cure bim on the terms, no cure, no pay.—Yours, etc., 8. B-MSBOTTOM, Kingsland Eoad, Auckland.

There is a scarcity of old linen at the Hospital, We would again remind our readers of the meeting of residents, property-owners, and others interested, at Mount Albert Public HaU to-morrow evening, at 7.30 p m to consider the question of establish-1 ins a locally owned omnibus company for that and the Avondalo district, as cheap and quick communication between the city and suburbs must be a means of advance, ment. we trust the meeting will be welli attended. .This is how a contemporary speaks re garding the Government Insurance Almanac which has baen recently distributed in such abundance :—" Wo are indebted to the Go vernment Insurance Department for # the receipt of an annual almanac. The indi vidual v,ho designed it must have had comets on the brain, and had rather too muoh of them. There is a we'l developed and modeslly-drcssedgirl perched upon the globe, with a flag in her right hand, and a helmet on her head, and a cartwheel in her left hand. Tbe flag is big enough to drag half-a-dozen girls like the one holding the banner into space. We use this latter term advisedly, as from the, point of her staff the comet appears to be shooting nor-nor'-east by nor' slightly, while the lady's foot directs the illustrious at anger sou'-sou'-weat, and by sou', a little southerly, sir. Australians represented by the head of a hippopotamus, and New Zealand by a bull dog, with the head severed from the body and a vanishing tail. We hope that the China plates (willow pattern) at each coiner, nave nothing to do with the importation of Celestials, and that such a miserable production aa the Govern ment Insurance Almanac for 1883 will never again be issued from tbe Head Office, Provincial Buildings, Wellington, N.Z."

He admitted that he had been employed to draw the plans and specifications of plaintiff's building, and looking after its erection. He was re peatedly at it, haviog occasion to pass it night and morning. It wai a very fair job, and carried out in accordance with the specifications. The injmy to tbe roof was caused by the ridging knocking off a brace. He never stated that he would not pass the building, or that he was soiry he had given the contractors their certificate, The witness waa cross-examined at some length upon the court resuming this morning. Mcs.ri Rhodes, Hammond, and Bell, were a'so examined for the defence, the gilt of which w_i that plaintiff had no cause of action. The defendant had ob tained judgment against the plaintiff for £13 4s in the B.M. Court, and the defen dait alleged that no new evidence bad been adduced by the plaintiff.

THE OPOTIKI DROWNING CASE.

Further Particulars

The Opotikicorrespondent of the "Bay of Plenty Times " writes the following addi tional particulars concerning the sad death of Captain Raker:—Captain Baker, in company with two sailors—Charlie August and Johnny Smith (the half-caste)—left the Staff.., which was lying alongside of the wharf, iv a lite-boat, at five minutes to eleven on Tuesday mowing, for tbe purpose of taking soundings on the bar. When the boat had got near to the heads they found that the "fresh" was too strong, and they could not get back, They then tried to get to the beach, and in doing co the boat filled and throw the three of them out, it was low water at ihe time, and it only took them up to their waist?. Charlie had hold of the painter, and held on to it until the boat went over the bar, Captain Baker and Johnny struggled to get ashore. Captain Baker had hold of the boat-hook, and called out to Johnny to take hold of the end of it, and help him out. Johnny took hold of the end of the boat hook, but tho harder he pulled the falter the sand gave away under their feet, and ha found they were both fast working into deep water. The current was fr'ghlfully rapid, and the sand was washing from under their feet so fast they could not |_et their (Footing. Johnny (then had to bt go ihe end of the boat-hook; three big teas had broken over them beforo he let go Wtei he next saw Captain Baker be was in deep water. Johnny £then made ashore, and he had Ihe greatest difficulty imaginable in doing so .He mana ged it by w.itlng tor the surf, and then making a desperate plunge at each wave which broke over him, he so got a few inches at a time nearer tbe shore. When he got ashore he was terribly exhausted, and he lay down on the beach for about ten minutes* On earning round he ran up to tha. township and gave tb_ alarm. At the time the boat capsized Captain Baker had on a.shirt, trousers, and vest, and when Johnny last saw him he was in the breakers, striking out towards tho beat. | Captain Baker's body was tound washed up on the beach between the heads and the finger-post, at the track turning into Huntress Creek.

Burg.sses of the City of Auckland are reminded that to-morrow is the last day far lodging objection, to the assessment. The objection should be made out in duplicate ; one copy being deposited iv the City Council offices and the other at the Police Court. There was a large business done in the sharemarket 10-day, especially in mining stock. Prince Imperial's remain at 555, while Queen of Beauty changed hands at 28s 6d to 295, and Deep Level Cross at from 4s lOd to ss. Business was also done in London, Hand of Friendship, New Manu kau, Darts, and Just In Time shares. Success are enquired for at LOs 6d; Imperial at 55s ; Mariner, 5s 3d; Wera hiko, 2a 7d; Seymour, 2s ld. Mr J. and X, Gibbons, formerly on the literary staff of the " Thames Advertiser," and now on the Wellington " Post," had a somewhat unpleasant experience at the Empire city a few days ago. While out beating with tome friends, the little craft was blown out to sea, and the party were two days without food and water before they managed to regain terra firma. A man named J. Eyan, who was recently discharged from the Ho.pital, took a fit in Symonds-street to-day. Mr A. M. Wil liam?, who was passing, attended to him, and bad him removed to the New Cale donian hotel, where he recovered consc.o_.s ness, though still apparently being unwell. The police were communicated with, ana 1 fcyan will probably be removed to the Hos pital. , The opera season which opens on Monday 1 next in the Theatre Boyal promises to be ! one of unusual brilliancy. The well-known operatic combination of Mr himonsen ' numbers 50 performers, and besides the fitst-clasa orchestra under tee pergonal con ductorship of.Mr Simonsen, there is a 1 carefully trained chorus of thirty I voices, under the direction of Mr J. Delaney. The repertoire of the com. I pany includes the latest comic opera " Boccaccio," which has proved snch a success in London and elsewhere, and two other comic operas—" The Brigands and j " Die Fledermans," which have not hereto fore been produced in this city. During the ! season the operas of " Girofld-Girofla, " Hermit's Bell," " Maritana,; "Pina fore,'' "Santanella," " Bohemian Girl, i •' La Fille dv Madame Acgot," "Dei Fries ' chut-," and the " Grand Ducb.es.," will be ' produced, and with such an array of pieoes and the excellent talent of. the company, there can be no doubt of the patronage . which the Auckland public will give,

THE DEFENCE IN THE GUDGEON CASE.

Meeting of the Law Society.

A SPECIAL general meeting of the Law Society, convened upon a requisition, to "enquire into the conduct of the coun sel acting for the prisoner in the caio of " Regina v. Gudgeon," was held this afternoon in the R. M. Court house. Mr Tyler (Vice-President) occupied T-te chair, and there were also pre.cut Messrs E Hesketh (secretary), W. J. Bill, Alexander, 'Hiorne, Laishley, Armstrong, Mackechnie, Coleman, Dignau. S, Hesketh, i E. Cooper, B.owning. J. A. Tole, ' The Chairman opened the meeting by reading tha lequisition, which was signed by Messrs Browning, Hill, Coleoian, Alex ander, and A. E. Whitaker, and which stated tbat as Judge Gillies had charac terised the defence set up by counsel in a certain case as bare and dishonour able, they requested the convention of a, special meeting for the purpose of onquiry. ! He said tbat he had thought no little j upon the matter, because that he had' been struck with tho iact of it being so; novel and unprecedented, and ho had j come to the conclusion that tho subject was not one that they could take any | cgnisanco of because they were a Society of Solicitors, and therefore had no jurisdic tion over the conduct of counael in Court. That being so, he intended to act uponjtbat opiuion unless shewn good reason is shewn to the contrary. He would himself consider it an insult if tho society called upon him to account for his conduct in a cause ; he wonld dcclino to do so, and would not acknowledge its jurisdiction. It was an unwholesome practice to set up, and it waa also a presumptuous thing. Mr Tylor was proceeding to discuss the Judge's remarks When

Mr Laishley protested. If the Chairman was going to quash tho nfl'air, a_d thus shut thoir mouth?, and therefore he should seek to comment upon the matter, and en deavour to influence tho meeting with his opinions, (Left sitting)
