A LIVELY MEETING.

Tho Devonport Road Board and its

Chairmaja.

During the last week or two the residents in the marine suburb of Devonport have been eagerly discussing a trouble which has arisen between the Devonport trustees and Mr Hammond, their Chairman. It will be remembered that the Chairman having gone to reside outside the district, the Board called upon him to resign, and, finding he did not do so, passed a severe resolution reflecting on his conduct at the February meeting, when he was not present. Further developments of an objectionable character have since transpired, and it was expected that the meeting of the Board last Monday night would be a very lively one. The members present were Messrs Hammond (in the chair), Brown, Pitts, Niccol, Dacre, and Bortley. The Chairman said that before proceed ing with the ordinary business he had a matter to bring before them. It was tho first time he had spoken at length at that Board, and it would be the last. He regretted that the person to whom he had principally wished to speak had absented himsolf, although he had advised him that matters concerning him would be under dis cussion. Mr Hammond then proceeded to read an anonymous letter which he had re ceived since the last meeting. Tho follow ing is a copy of the effusion, which was ap parently disguised in a schoolboy hand : — "Auckland. Mr Hammond,—The Devon port Board chair is too small for your di mensions. While learning how to write notes of invitation,you should have learned how to behave as Chairman as well. Give up the 'chair now to a ' smaller' man, and save further breeze. Yourbankingaccountis not large enough to make us gulp down your pomposity, If you do not resign before next meeting, we have a 'poem' ready for cir culation which will touch you up consider able. " Mr Hammond described the letter as low, scurrilous, and cowardly. [Mr Niccol agreed with this view]. Mr Hammond proceeded to express his behalf that it was written by a member of the Board.

Several members dissented, and saw no reason for such an accusation.

Mr Hammond reiterated his opinion that the letter was written by a member of the Board. If the Board had been fully repre sented at that meeting, he would have demanded the name of the writer. He knew there was only one man on the Board capable of writing such a letter, and he would not insult the other members of the Board by attempting to connect them with it. He knew full well that there was only one member of the Board who had a mind mean and low enough to write such a letter, and he asked if it wore possible that they could doubt the identity of the author. Tho writer of that letter had done him the honour of referring to his banking account, but ho reminded them that ho had never made any boast of having an extensive banking account. Mr Brown thought Mr Hammond was making a great deal of fuss over tho letter. It was a childish production, and ho thought Mr Hammond was too thin-skinned in taking so much notice of it. Mr Niccol : You will only give it im portance yourself, Mr Hammond. Several members thought a motion should be proposed. Mr Hammond said ho would proposo a motion at the end of his remarks, and not till then.

Mr Niccol: Then, I suppose, wc shall have to put up with the intliction. Mr Hammond proceeded to say that ho had not made any boast of his banking ac count, but ho had always paid his way. Tho writer of the letter, whom ho well know, spoke of a song which he intended to produce, but he did not know that singing was one of his manifold accomplishments. Possibly, it would raise him higher in tho estimation of the public. He was surprised that apparently shroud and sensible men like those present had been mado cats-paws of.

Mr Hartley objected to this assertion, and thought thoy should get on with the real business of the meeting. He considered it a pity that such expressions should be made uso of.

Mr Hammond : Well, I will withdraw the expression. Mr Niccoi. though it unmanly that Mr White should be accused of writing the letter In his absence, and not when he was present. Mr Hammond : I havo not accused him of writing the letter. Mr Niccol : You most certainly hoire. Hn in the nnly »»mW o_>__..t, aiul YOU have repeatedly referred to an absent member of the Board as the author. Mr Hammond : I have not. Chorus of the Board : Yes, you havo. Mr Bkown thought they had had quite enough of this letter, and moved that tho ordinary business be proceeded with. Mr Niccol seconded. Mr Hammond proceeded to refor to a second letter of a more scurrilous nature than that read, which he had in his pocket, and which he would allow any of the mem bers to read. He did not associate Mr White with those letters, but he did with what he had said and done at the Board. If it was the desire of the Board, he would postpone his remarks in reference to Mr White till next meeting, when he might be present. Mr Brown pointed out that repeated hints had been given to Mr Hammond that he should havo resigned his seat as Chairman, as there was reason for the feeling that tho Chair man should be a resident of the dis trict. Those hints were not actuated by malice or ill-feeling, but by a desire for the good of the district. Mr Hammond replied that in deference to the wish of the members he would omit the remarks which he had intended to make in reference to the malice and spite which he asserted had been displayed by Mr White. He proceeded to point out that after selling liis house, he placed him self in the hands of the Board, and con tended that he retained his seat from a sense of duty, having mado promises to persons that he would hold his seat. _ Mr Hammond proceeded to express the opinion that as he intended to publish the letter which he had received, the Board should pass and append a resolution indicating that the letter had no sympathy from them, , ~ ~_-,,. Mb Niccol said that while their Chair man had proved invulnerable to all their attacks and attempts to get him out of the chair, one weak point had been • found by the writer of this letter. Of course, the letter had received too much importance, and should havo boen burned. None of them would have sympathy with such a contemptible attack. But Mr Hammond in his opening remarks made the mistake of attempting to fasten on some members of the Board the authorship of that letter. Mr Hammond : Not on any of the members of the Board present, . Mr Niccol : Mr Hammond insinuated that Mr White, one of tho members of the Board, was the author. Mr Hammond : No, I did not. Mr Niccol proceeded to reply to Mr Hammond's assertion that he had retained his seat from a sense of duty. He added . that they also should be credited with some sense of duty, and reviewing the circumstances, endeavoured to show that Mr Hammond should have retired long ago in the interests of the dis trict. Mr Hammond had made too much of a contemptible anonymous letter, but he thought they would be making the matter worse and themselves ridiculous by at tempting to pass such a resolution as Mi- Hammond evidently wished. Mr Daobe also spoke in reference to Mf Hammond's refusal to resign tltf> chair when pressed by members of the Board to The matter then dropped, and the ordinary business was proceeded witji.

OTAHUHU LICENSING ELECTION.

There was very little excitement over the above election up to noon, when it became known that the hotolkeopers had chosen men to run their ticket. Traps and waggonettes wore plied throughout the district, and canvassers sWSWW i^i^Stfps _|_fflelr. g|eelared the numbers as^oUows _ n. j^strinle--*. 33.

VOYAGE OF THE HALCIONE.

Fatal Casualty.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. From the Halcione's report it appears that on the llth February two seamen engaged on the jibboom were carried overboard by a heavy sea. One seized a rope and got on board again. The other had the lifebuoy thrown him, and supported himself until rescued in a very ex hausted state.

Yesterday in the Straits, while tacking off Wellington Head with a fresh south-west wind, it suddenly died away, and, as the flood tide was making very strong, the vessel nearly carried on the boulders. Capt. Parkes pre pared the cables, and had anchors ready, but fortunately a light breeze off the land'came and carried the Halcione clear of the Is:and by about a cables length.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

In Banco,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Petition op Alexander Macdonald, Samuel Rout, and James Rout.—This was an applica tion by Mr James Russell for an Order to sell the old Independent Chur.h and school-room in High-street, and devote the proceeds on behalf of the Congregationalists of Auckland—three fourths to the purchase of church property at Mount Eden, and one-fourth to increasing the funds of the Onehunga Congregational Church.— His Honor said he had lool_ed into this matter, and believed that the Court had tho power to approve of tho sale provided that it was for the benefit of tho charity. He believed that it was for tho benefit of the charity, and he would i hereforc be prepared to grant approval provided the funds realised were devoted as indicated to the purchase of other land subject to the trust. But he did not see his way to agree to a diver sion o( one-fourth of the funds to a different church outside the district altogether. How ever desirable It might be to assist another con gregation of the same denomination, yet he did not feel justified in assenting to this proposed disposition of a portion of the funds. lie would, therefore, grant tho order for sale provided that the whole of tho proceeds are devoted to the purchaso of the property at Mount Eden. Rk William Qcinlan (bankrupt).—Mr Cave applied for the bankrupt's discharge.—His Honor inquired the reason of tho delay in making tho application.—Mr Cavo replied that tho causes were want of funds and absence from the district. In nnswor to a question from His Honor. Mr Cavo said tho debtor was an omnibus proprietor at Te A roha, and his troubles arose through sickness in his famiiy and loss of horsps.—His Honor pointed outthat according to tlie trustee's report the debtor got into difficul ties through borrowing from money lenders at exhorbitant rates of interest. Thoro were no assets in this estate, and ho had mado it a rule that where thero were no assets lie could not grant discharge, and the debtor would have to wait for his release the time required by tho Act.—Mr Cavo asked if His Honor would adjourn tlio application with the object of onabling the trustee to make further in quiries.—His Honor replied in tho negative. Tho object of tho Act was to distribute the estate amongst the creditors, and not to release tho debtor, and whore there was no estate to distribute he did not think it was his duty to grant tho application. Quinn v. Mercury Bay Timber Company. -The application for a writ of injunction in this case was allowed to stand over until tho 19th. Barclay's Trustees v. Humphries.—An argumont of question of law in this caso was adjourned by consent till tho 20th Instant Petition of Jonathan Brown.—This appli cation re Land Transfor Act, 1870, re Waitaha Block, was also adjourned till 2(lth, by consent.

Scott v. Northern Steamship Company.— Mr Heskcth applied that judgment bo pro nounced for defendants —Mr Theo. Cooper ap peared on tho other side. — Ordored to stand over.—His Honor gavo it as his opinion that tho Registrar on receipt of certificate for Court of Appeal should set down this caso for hearing at tho first Civil Sitting of tho Court aftor recolpt of certificate. Creditors' Trustee in re Thomas v.

At tho general meeting of mombers of the New Zealand Rifle Association, hold a few days ago, Mr Peaoh, on whose eround a portion" of tho rifle range used at the lato meeting was situated, forwarded a demand for £100 rent. Tho gentlemen who had negotiated with Mr Peach stated that he had given the ground gratis, apd the meeting took no notice of the demand, but accorded Mr Peach a hearty voto of thanks. This empty compliment has not appeased that gentleman, as we learn that ho has taken a civil action for damage to his land against Mr Christie, under whose supervision 'tlie range was prepared. For tho last ten years the residents of North Shore have been endeavouring te obtain possession of the triangular piece of land opposite the Naval Reserve, and near tho present wharf as a public pleasure ground.
