that the nomination was the election, or the commencement of it,.power being given the Returning Officer "to adjourn the election to a subsequent day, on which a ballot will be taken ;" but in our Regulation of Local Election j Act there was no such pro vision whatever. The day of election was appointed in the first instance, and that was the day on which the poll was to be taken. He did not see that he could come to any other conclusion than that the elec tion was regarded as the day on which the poll was to be taken, so that there had been no irregularity with regard to the time or place of election or the situation of the polling booths. The firstground, therefore, taken in the petition against the election was not supported; consequently the peti tion must be dismissed.

Mr Cooper asked, under section 55 of tho Regulation of Local Elections Act, that the costs of the Licensing Committees might be allowed. He said that of course there had been irregularities—and very grave irregu larities too —in the election, but they were notthefaultofthepersonspetitionedagainst. They hail been brought to the Court by the patitioners, and although His Worship had held that there had been irregularities, yet they were not sufficient to invalidate the election. He might also draw attention to tho fact that the petition was not by the unsuccessful candidates, but that for some purpose certain persons had thrown it down as a challenge to the Licensing Committees to substantiate) thoir position, and therefore they had fairly rendered themselves liable for the costs.

Mr E. Heskcth replied that the very same argument might bo used for refusing the application, seeing that the petitioners had succeeded in proving some of the irregulari ties they complained of. It might very fairly be said that any person, whether a defeated candidate or not, had a right to attack the election, and none of them could regret that this action had been brought, "because it gave the assurance that in future the elections would be con ducted according to the law. They had achieved this much : they had provided some security and safeguard for elections being conducted properly in future. Mr Cooper said that he had forgotten to mention that very serious allegations of a more personal nature had also been made by the petitioners, viz., that the Committee had used intimidation or violence to pre vent voters from voting against them. They had advanced indiscriminately all the allegations specified in the Act. His Worship thought that the Committee had been brought there to answer charges madeagainstthem which, although errorshad been unearthed, had yet proved insufficient to upset the election ; they were entitled to costs. If people took upon themselves to risk the upsetting of an election on such grounds, they should not expect to bo re lieved from paying the costs when they failed.

Mr Cooper then requested His Worship to fix the amount of the costs.

His Worship then fixed the costs at £5 us. Upon the application of the learned counsel, the hearing of the petitions against the elections of the Licensing Com mittees for City South and East, Karanga hape, and Ponsonby was adjourned till 2 o'clock. Mr Hesketh said that tho decision on the City North election might possibly govern the petitioners' action in respect to the City South, Karangahape, and Ponsonby elections, but, at any rato, the City East petition would bo proceeded with. The Court then adjourned.

On the Court resuming, the Karansahape potition was called on. Mr Hesketh inquired if His Worship, in Ilia judgment this morning, disposed of tho objection against the election, on the ground that as the district specified in the Return ing Officer's report was not correctly de scribed. He had not complied with the Act in giving notice either as to time or manner of election. In tho notico given on fche'Bth February, the names of the dis tricts were set forth in the first column, and therein the Karangahape district was styled "Karangahape Ward." He had not heard His Worship say that even this ob jection would not avail. His Worship replied that he had not said anything about it, but he took it as of no avail. It came under the first sub-section, but if it had come under the sixth sub section instead, and it had been shown to have tended to defeat the firmness of tho election it would have proved fata). Mr Hesketh said in that case he would withdraw the Karangahape election peti tion. It was. accordingly withdrawn, and £3 3s coats allowed the Licensing Com mittee. A similar procedure was followed with regard to^ the City South and Ponsonby petitions. Mr Hesketh said that with regard to tho City East petition, it was based upon evactly the same grounds as advanced in the other petitions, however, the principal one being that the poll at the said election was open beyond the hours specified in the Mr Cooper stated that he was quite willing to admit in this cose all the proofs tendered in support of th« City North peti tion. He would also admit that the peti tioners were all persons qualified to petition, Mr Hesketh: Do I understand Your Worship to say that upon the same materials you would give the same judgment as you delivered this morning.- I mean that were I to argue the objection as to the notice of election, your judgment would be the same ? H.U Worship : I suppose so, unless you showed that it defeated the fairness of the election. . Mr Hesketh : I cannot give any evidence to show that it interfered with the fairness of the election, and that being so, I do not think that I shall proceed with tho City East petition either. This petition was therefore also with drawn, and £3 3s costs allowed.

Dkep Level Cross. — Retorting of the amalgam obtained from the erash-.ng earned on early in tho month, took place yesterday, when a return of 38iozs. melted gold was obtained from eighty-two loads of quartz.

The dreary state of the room of the Supreme Court Buildings set apart for the holding of creditor's meetings, was some what severely remarked at a meeting held this afternoon. Mr Brassey compared theu ncomfortable apartment to a dun eeon cell, and Mr Lawson, Official Assignee, remarked tbat he received a chill every time he entered it, and his health had suffered in consequence from rheumatism and deafness.' He further expressed the opinion that a room should have been ob tained nearer townj and suggested that the solicitors 'present should make representa tions to that effect.

The sale of cheese from the Bukpkohp Cheese factory to-day proves that a very remunerative market exists in the city for Buch produce. Mr Arthur's mart was crowded by intending purchasers, and the whole of the cheeses brought down were disposed of at 7d per lb. It is believed that treble the quantity could have been sold at the same price had it been on hand. This result must be hiehly satisfactory to the shareholders of tho Company, as it is gratifying to the directors and to Mr Wai. Sole,; the energetic manager. It is the in tention 0* the-directors to send dewri a fur ther supply of the new cheeses on hand, so thai ne£t Friday another large consignment will be offered for sale.

SAD CASE OF DROWNING.

One of the.most distressing cases of drown ing that have occurred here for some time past happened at an early hour this morn ing. Very soon after midnight cries for help were heard by several persons proceed ing from the direction of the North Shore Ferry tee on the Queen-street Wharf. Con stable Rowles, who was on duty at the top of the wharf, Mr Drake, who heard the cries while in the vicinity of the Britomart Hotel, and one of the Coromandel's hands, Knight, heard the shouts, and naturally concluded that someone had fallen into the water and was in danger of drowning. They all hurried in the direction from which the sounds proceeded, and found a youth struggling in the water on the town side of the ferry tee. Constable Rowles had brought the water-police life-buoy down the wharf with him, and this was thrown close to the lad's hand, while another buoy thrown by Mr Knight also fell close to him. It was, however, quite apparent that he could not swim and he sank before he could reach either means of safety. Mr Charles Robuon, steward of the Coromandel, brought a boat from the watermen's steps, but it was then too late to render assistance. Messrs Barron (waterman) and Brake dragged for the body, which was found about two o'clock this morning. It was identified as that of a youth of 17 named William Breon, who is in tho employ of a Mr Angelo, fish monger, and whose parents reside in Lome street. It would appear to have been part of his duty to await the arrival of the Ai>ne Milbank last night, and take delivery of a consignment of fish. He was found asleep on tho window sill of Mr Darby's boarding-house by Constable Donovan a short time beforo the occurrence, and having been roused up, proceeded down the wharf. He was in conversation with Constable Rowles at the head of the wharf subsequently, and stated to him that he felt very sleepy, not having been to bed on the previous night, and that if the steamer did not come in soon he would go away and get to bed. It is conjectured that having gone down tho wharf, he was leaning against one of the piles, or pier-heads, and that being sleepy ho lost consciousness and fell orerboard. The body was taken to the reside.nee of his parents to await an in quest. THE INQEST.

An inquest on the body of deceased was held nt the Ureybound Hotel this afternoon, before Dr. Philson. Coroner, and a jury, of whom Chaa. O'Connor was elioaen foreman. Acting-Sergeant McConnell represented tho police. The body having been viewed, the following evidence was aildueed :—

Denis Itowles, police constable, doposed that ho was not acquainted with tho deceased. He 1/aWtsoen the b idy to-day at tho residence of deceased's father in Lornc-atrcet. This morning, about 10 minutes pa.it 12, he heard a splash in tho water. He was standing on duty at tho woighbridge, Qneen-street Wharf, at )h<! time. The splash in the water was followed by cries for holp. Ho im mediately . seized a life buoy which was hanging eloso by, and running down the wharf saw a man struggling in the water, opposito the eocond lamp, on tho right hand side of tho wharf from Quoon-stroet. Witness threw the lifebuoy to him, but he did notion' eh it. He miido no attempt to grasp it, it being out of his reach, having fallen short of hini. Could not say whether he saw it, but witness called our. to him to lay hold of it. He licve he did not soe it; that he was drowning at tho time. Tho night wns dark. A sailor from tho Coromandel named Knight brought a lifebuoy, and throw it so close that it touched deceased. Ho did not, however, take hold of it, and sank a few seconds aftui'wards. Ho had re peatedly called " ifelo" during this time and his last words were, " Bring the clingy. Charles Robson, steward of the Coromandel was coining to his assistanco in a boat, but old not reach him in tlmo. About three minutes elapsed from the tjme ho heard tho splash until deceased sank. Witness was speaking to deceased on tho wharf about miduight lie said ho was looking out for the Thames boat, which was to arrivo with llsh. He was perfectly sober at that, time, but stnt id to witness that ho wns very tired, as ho had been up all tho previous ni.^ht, and that if the bout did not soon come ho would go home and have a sleep. He subsequently wont down Iho wharf. [Loft sitting.)

A respectable looking young woman named JVlary Ward, whose age could pot be more than 23 or 24 years, and who has npfc hitherto made the acquaintance of the police, was arrested this afternoon charged with stealing a bundle of Crimean shirts and coloured stockings. The former are claimed by Mr Hannan, draper, Vicfeona street, as his property. The prisoner, who was arrested by Constable Hqbson, asserts that the goods were gjyen to her by another g>rl, whose name elje dpes , not know, An accident of a very serious character happened at an early hour this morning to a married woman named Grannity, who had been living at Mrs Longbottom's boarding house in Albert-street. Her cries for help between two and three o'clock this morning attracted the attention of Messrs Main {" Herald " Office) and Baxter (telegraph operator). Proceeding down Albert-street, they found the woman lying in front of Mrs Longbottom's in a pool of blood. The police having been communicated with, a cab ' was procured and the injured woman taken to the Hospital, where it was found that she had broken several bones and sustained serious injury. A shawl was discovered Ranging from the top story of the. V qfl&ri division of t ho lodging'house, and as it transpired that the lyoman had 'unsuccessfully p wded for drink In the afternoon, and had then been locked in tho room by Mrs Longbqttom, it is concluded that her cmyws for ,IIfIUOV in duced her to make the attempt to escape. Probably she attempted to lower herself by tho shawl, and .finding it was not sufficiently long, she could not regain the window again.and fell, thus causing the In iuVfes referred to. On inquiry at the Hos pital to-day, we learn timt the patient is doik' as well as can bo expected. Her iniuVy is not likely to prove fatal. Her left thigh bone ia broken, she has » contused wound on the temple, and she has been 1 badly shaken internally. , -": :
