EIiKMKNTAKY SCIENCE. — Mr S. Luke moved — "That as the teaching of elementary science in our primary schools is of the utmost importance, and as this Hoard is of opinion that in the present course of public instruction not enough at tention is given to this subject, tho In spector is therefore requostcd to re port to the Board as soon as possible as to what ho may consider the best means of giving a greater amount of scientilic in struction, especially to those pupils who have passed the fourth and fifth standards." —Mr Luke spoke in support of his motion. —Mr Buckland strongly opposed it, and said that when they got rid of their late Chairman he thought they had also got rid of this class of motions. He thought they were attempting quite enough already, and even if they did incur the additional expen diture for this department of education, the pupils of tho city schools only would obtain the advantage.—Mr Goldie in speak ing against the motion, said that the ell'ect of "all this advanced education was that they wore making their children ashamed to take off their coats and do a honest days' work. —Mr Moss also opposed.—Mr Luke said what he wanted was a system of object lessons right through from the lowest class to tlie highest.—The motion was eventually withdrawn.

Attendance at City Schools.— The following motion in Mr Cooper's name was ordered to be struck out, the mover being absent:— "That tho Committeo for the Auckland City School District be requested to notify that from and after the expiration of the present year no children residing outside the City School District can be admitted into the city schools ; and that those chil dren residing outside tiie City School Dis trict nowattendingthesaid city schools must from and after tho expiration of the present year be excluded from further attendance, it appearing that their attendance has heretofore resulted in the oxclusion from the said schools of children residing within the school district."

(Beforo H. G. Soth Smith, Esq., R.M.)

The following is a continuation of that which appears upon the fourth page.

Low v. Irvine.—Claim, £2 9s Od, for breaking road metal at 4s Gd per yard.— Mr Theo. Cooper for the plaintiff, and Mr Cotter for the defendant. —£1 6s was paid into Court, and for this amount judgment was given. Richardson v. Mclsaacs.—Claim, £10.— Mr Theo. Cooper for the plaintiff, and Mr 11, Campbell for the defendant.—The action was brought to recover a deposit of £10 on the purchase and sale for £300 of a boarding-house in Hobson-street, known as Devonshire House. The plaintiff as serted that after he had obtained an extension of the lease from Mrs Kelly (the owner), thus making the purchase more valu able, the defendant refused to sell on the terms stated, and also declined to return the deposit. Hence the action. — The defence was that the transaction was not completed before Mrs Kelly granted an ex tension of lease.—The agency of Pittar and Armstrong was also disputed.—His Worship held that it had been disclosed that there I was an agency between Armstrong and de , fendant, and argumont on the question of law as to whether Armstrong was entitled to receive a deposit was postponed till Mon day afternoon.

Carey v. Aickin. — Claim, 10s. —Mr Keetloy for plaintiff; Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant. —This claim was for injury to a jacket,—Evidence having been taken, plain tiff was nonsuited.

This Day.

Eaton v. Hendry.— Claim, £10 Is Sd.— Mr Theo. Cooper for plaintiff; Mr Brassey for defendant.—Tho defendant pleaded a set-offof £98.—Alhert Eaton, the defendant, Mr Thomson, and Mr Anderson having been examined, His Worship disallowed the set-off, and gave judgment for plaintiff for t's 4s 7d, and costs £2 ss.

W. D. Campbell v. the Northern Steamship Company.—Claim,3os, for loss of passage.—The plaintiff conducted l.is own case, and Mr S. Hesketh appeared for the defence. The action was brought to recover tho amount paid for a passage to Waitara by the steamer Douglas. She was ad vertised to leave on tho 6th of November, but her departure was put off from day to day until the 9th, when, finding that she was not at Onehunga, and that he could get no definite information about her sailing, plaintiff took passage by the Hannah Mokau, Tho Douglas did not leave till the 17th. Whence first applied for a refund of his.money it was point-blank refused, but a week later, on a s.cond application being made, tho clerk offered to compromise by refunding fl,beingthedifference between tho prico of a single and return ticket. By the delay he had lost threo days, but ho made no claim for that. Cross-examined : Ho had since learnt that the cause of tho Douglas not being at Onehunga was that, she had been run ashore at Waitara by a drunken captain. , Jlv Hesketh contended that tho plaintiff had not shown that thero was any contract on the part of the defendant Company to carry him at a specified time, and that con sequently his caso must fail.—His Worship . said that there was no warranty that the defendants would carry at any specified time, although it was expected to be within a reasonable time. He did not think a reasonable time had elapsed by the 9th of November, and therefore the case could not succeed. —Plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. William Morris v. James Caemichael. —Claim, £12 17s 3d,—Mr Theo. Cooper for tho plaintiff, and Mr Earl for the defen dant. The action was brought by the plaintiff, who is a builder, to recover £12 17s 3d upon certain particulars of demand connected with a contract for work in and about a certain house- built lor the defen dant. Thirty shillings had been paid into Court without prejudice to a contra claim. Tk_ rl. Fnnno -ur.ia fh.-t. +l,n t+om. _,„_,-.] _._
