WESTERN SPRINGS ESTATE.

The Property Withdrawn at Sio.ooo,

Thk announcemsnt of the intended sale by auction of the Western Springs Estate attracted a large number of parsons to Mr Dowden's mart to-day. After having read the usual conditions of sale, tlio auetioneor announced that he had been instructed to offer the whole of tlio property with the exception of somo eight acres, some roods and perches, Tho total area of the estate was about 102 acres. It was situated about 3 miles from town, mid bo might add that there was not another block of scoria land of its size within anything liko the same distance. The terms were one-half cash, the balance at threo per cent for two years, after that fit six per cent, for a further term of three years, or as might bo agrreod upon. Mr P. A. Phillips, Town Clerk (who represented the City Council, asked what rebate would bo mode in the event of a full cash payment. The auctioneer replied that he had no instructions to allow any rebate. Tlio Town Clerk pointed out tho advantage to tho purchasers to have the whole of tho pur chase money at onco, instead of allowing one half to remain for two years at three per cent. The auctioneer rejoined that they would be happy to take tho whole amount in cash, put thoro was no immediate necessity for the meney, and a rebate could not bo allowed. Offers were then in vited, and a bid of £9,000 «*as made, The Town Clerk offered £9,100, but Mr Dowden declined to tako a bid j of less than five per cent, on tlu. original bid. Mr Phillips then offered £9,500. For s.me time there was no odvanoe upon this amount, but eventually an apparently rolaetant bid of £10,000 came from the party wb.o had made the first offer, Notwithstanding the persuasive eloquence of the auctioneer, then) was no increase upon this price,—Mr Dowden then said he would have to withdraw the lot at this fifuro. —The Town Clerk enquired tho re serve ; and the auctioneer replied that there was none.—Mr Philip; You had bettor knock it down, then, if there is no reserve. —Mr Dowden then proceeded to offer the same property, excepting the four oores held by the Tallow Company; but there was no bid for it, despite tho inducement held out by the fact that the auctiooner montioned that ho might bo ablo to sell them at a lower price than would be required privately. •■- Tho Town Clerk: You had better let us know at what price the estate would be al lowed to go.—Mr Dowden? I am not authorised to mention any particular re serve. -Tho Town Clerk:—Oh, the sale ia a farce.—Mr Cotter, City Solicitor, pointed out that some Idea should bo givor. of the lowest sum which tho owners of the estate would bo prepared to accept, and Mr Dowden mentioned £12,000 or £13,008.—Th0 Town Clerk inquired if Mr Dowden would take a bid of one fper cent, on the last offer, and the reply was in tho negative. Mr Dowden having stated that he would be willing to treat for the sale of the land privately, the assemblage dispersed.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Snoday Trading,

(To the Editor.)

Sir —I do wish we could got oven-handed justice carried out in our Courts, but your report of three charges brought against the proprietor of the Alexander Hotel for Sun day trading reveals a mistaken kindness towards a delinquent. In going round on a visit of inspection to all the hotels in Uty East, the necessity for Sunday closing was strongly urged upon tho pro prietors, and in several cases they ex pressed their willingness to observe the law if it could bo equally onforcedupoa all On behalf of those who have thus spokfln . beg to express my disappointment that Sergeant White, who conducted the case above referred to, should have thought »t necessary to withdraw the two remaining charges after Mr Hesketh, on behalf of his client, pleaded guilty to the first charge. The Bench then imposed a fine of twenty shillings and costs. I contend this is quite inadequate, and in no way calculated to atop Sunday trading. I have no wish to convey severs censures upon the Bench They probably expected the other charges to be called on, and then increased fines would have been imposed for repeated transgressions; but by a most singular mode of reasoning, the worthy sergeant withdrew the other charges because they were committed on the same day, 1 can fancy tho publican laughing in his sleeve; after taking possibly five or ten pounds during the Sunday, he could well afford to pay _ fine of twenty shillings. In justice to tho__ pub icans who wish Jo keep the law, I think tho public are entitled to express their condemna tion of practices that are calcu lated to excite violations of the law In closing. I may observe that I have some ™t for a man, whatever his calling may be who observes tho law, but J have no sympathy with the man who wilful y breaks KdhLvy fines far beyond their profits is'the only- way to prevent such practices Sung continued by men who have no nght principle to guide them.-I am, &c„ Joseph Newman.

Flogging Criminals.

(To the Editor.) Sir. —Re the late flogging case, I had & tot some more abh. pen fchan mtfie S have taken up this ***£^j£ tarests of a deserving and respectable class of men-Mr Thomas'Spurgeon's opinion to are forced'to degrade tbemseW and th«r families, or else give up the JM**7 which they provide those families Mth their daily bread, to serye no earthly purpose, it is time I think for some one who knows the facts of the case to .peak out Hitherto the flogging business has been done by a man who lives some miles away from Auckland. This man woe warned some days beforehand of the date fixed, and presented himself at the gaol tba»* ceding evening. Here he^ was providea with sleeping accommodation, and in the morning fiidlis work, receded h|«y,M went his way, none being the wiser. Som. months ago tho warders were given to un derstand that for the future they would have to perform this disgusting task them selves. They protested against it as tar• as they dare, .Ed offered to subacr.be the Sot usually paid (about £4 among.* themselves, to pay a substitute; tat e^en this privilege Was denied them, andJ*ey were told they must either do i bth em aJ es or leave the service, as there were plewy of men down South who would on y betoo glad to take their places, and who wonhl lot be above doiu| what ww j W"* l * them Now. sir, unless) it Is that the SoritiKshto get rid of l°°g*«™ men without having to 00W"*** $*£; one fails to see any good to be gamed ny •'• '• - - _.: .I i ■ ■

such a brutal order—for by no other name does it deserve to bo called—being given. And further, sir, what is toprovont tho re cipient of the Hogging from watching his opportunity and knocking the brains out of the officer who has been forced to (log him, and so leaving a woman and perhaps seven or eight children on the hand* of tho Cio vernment, besides the expense of trying and hanging the murderer? But maybe this latter expense could bo saved by making this also a part of the warder's duty. Captain Humo has de servedly earned tlio gratitude of the Auck land warders by putting them on an equality, as regard pay, with those of the Southern gaols, and also by shortening their hours of duty, minimising their Sunday duties, and instituting a proper system of promotion, which latter was before subject to the caprice of one man; but, sir, with one stroke of his pen, in giving this order, he nullifies all his former benefits and turns gratitude into disgust and contempt. One word more, sir, and I have done. The public have nn interest in seeing that none but respectable and trustworthy men are kept as warders, for—and mark, sir, having been a warder myself, I say it with authority —there is nothing in tho world to prevent a warder, base and vile enough to do it, while on night duty, letting loose every male prisoner in the gaol. This will never happen with the present staff, but still .it is both possible and easy to be done. The Government take all sorts of precautions to get respectable and trustworthy men in these positions, and then do their level be.st to degrade them to tlio level of tho common hangman, whose alone duty it should be to do tho flogging. 1 [oping that some of our respected members will take this matter up, and that you, sir, will give them the benefit of your valuablo assistance in making the facts of tho case public, and so get such a griovous wrong righted. —I am, sir, &c, F. 8.11.

(To the Editor.)

Dear Sir,—ln reference to a sontonco of corporeal punishment administered by a judge in a Court of law, I should take it as a favour if yon would permit me, sir, to urge an objection to this manner of punish ing a criminal. I shall suppose the case of a man who is really guilty of one the most heinous offences known to tho law— viz., forcing a woman. The ground upon which I stand is this, Mr Editor : There aro, at all events, a great many among us who consider this modo of punish ment an unnecessary cruelty, juat as Hog ging is looked upon as cruelty to any other animal, and prohibited by law. I believe those mentioned embraco two-thirds of the entire population ; but even supposing them to be in tho minority, I contend, sir, that it is highly improper to lacerate the feelinga of so many people who object to this form cf punishment. Flogging is supposed to acp as a caution to others in such a position; nevertheless I would put a question, sir, to thoso who would ruin a man for Ufa, without _,}._ pos sibility of discovering whether there had been encouragement, because in no caso will a woman make such admission. Can such a thing be done (unless by using very great violence) without consent? Delicate women have many times told mo that it is impossible. I hope, sir, in tho name of our common humanity, that tho debate of a subject of such immense importance will be permitted full acopo in the columns of a popular paper such us the Evening Star, because unless tho quo. .ion is thoroughly ventilated, it seems to mo, sir, impossible to get at the truth.—J. am, &c, Richard Marsh.

EVICTION AT MONGONUI.

Plgljt for Possession of tlje Settlors' Hotel.

The residents of Mongonul have been temporarily relioved of that dull monotony which usually prevails in country districts by a rather exciting struggle for possession of tho Settlers' Hotel by two rival publioans. For some considerable time this well-known hostelry had beon in the possession of Mr Grogan, who dispensed his liquors and otherwise conducted himself well and peaceably until a few weeks ago, when a new claimant to these priviloges appeared upon the scene. Tho owners of tho hotol, it appears, disposed of it to Mr Luks, who soeurod a license, and wont down from Auciflai. d with authority to turn out both Grogan and hj.s family. Grogan, however, objected on tho gronn.d that ho had received no information to tha. effect from his landlord. Luks therefore calle.d upon Constable Mo^ir to assist him in dis lodging his rival, but the representative of the law declined to do anything moro than to prevent a breach of tho poaco. Luks then sooured tbo sorrices ot four bailiffs, and, accompanied by Constable Mo&r, p ro . ceeded to tho hotel, and rocommoiidcd the inmates to eyoauate the promises in - order to preyeat what promised to bo a rather unseemly proceeding, viz., their forcible ejection. B,ut Grogan proved immovable. Thereupon Luks and his bailills commenced to hustlo him about the building. Luks and Grogan closed in the passage; the bailiffs got be hind them and pushed them out of tho building, when both rolled on to tho street. After a severo struggle tho ovicted tenant succeeded in throwing off his adversary, got .up, rushed to tho door, and although hotly pursued by tho bailiffs, ho succeeded in getting safely into tho hotel first, and slnwii'MKj tho door in tho faces of his pur suers. L.H-.3 jjiade another appeal to the Constable to take Grogs.n into custody, but the guardian of the poa.ee v-/as ;;o,tmiite cer tain that he had the authority to do ao, and declined. Other attempts t« dislodge Grogan having failed, Luks was compolled to resort to diltSF.nt tactics. He showed the persistant Occupant .of his property documents such as transfe? t^f Jjcpnso, etc., but Grogan still declined to aceopt not}cp to quit .rotn anyone except his " own land lord." Next Luks ghpwed him a letter purporting to bo from that gentle man, giving him (Luks) all authority to take possession. Grogan remained obdurate, _■ 1.. Ks .determined to re main in the house. This proved of no avail, so ho soon left, and piaoed his position before the Resident Magistrate, who, it is said, authorised the ejection of the defiant occupant and all bejonging to him. Ac co.rdingly,Luks and the four bailiffs who had remained in the hotel, accompanied by Con stable Moar. caught; hold pf Grogijii and endeavoured to piit him out of his building, but only succeeded after a great struggle, during which a glass door in the passage was broken to atoms. Mrs Grogan waa next gently hustled out, and the children being already outside, Luks remained in full "control, and, finding it necessary to break open the bar, did so, and commenced business without delcy. That night Grogan is reported to have slept jn a skittle ally connected with the hotel, but having after wards thought better of it, he departed, and has not since given his rival any further trouble, Grogan and family are now in Auckland.

The Sanitary Inspector received today reports of two fresh cases of infectious disease, viz., ono of typhoid fever in the Jiybor Pass, and one of diphtheric sore throat, the patient in the latter case being a Corporation labourer. The Inspector finds that sickness is still very prevalent through out the city, but it is now steadily decreas ing, while the prpdominant complaint has changed' frum fever to the various forms flf cold, ranging from sore tljroat to diph theria. Medical men attribute so much sjpkness to imperfect drainage, and the dry weather. As many people seem un aware ot their duty in the matter of re porting infectious disease, it may be as well' to point out that by an prd.er in Council dated Dec., 1876, tho following diseases must be reported whenever they make thefr appearance, viz., chplcra, small-pox, scarlatina, diphtheria, enteric or typhoid fever, typhus fever, a;;jl measles.

The first Diocesan Synod ever hold in Auckland in connection with tho Roman Catholic Church will be opened on Thurs day next at 9 a.m. in St. Patrick's Cathedral with the celebration of Pontifical High Mass.

Ie will sit during Thursday, Vritbv on,tl Saturday morning, tho clercv from'all parts of the diocese being present The matters for consideration are chiefly connected with administration of tho diocese. On Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the foundation stone of St. Patrick s Cathedral will be bid with, becoming cere monial by the Bishop, it is e^ctgd that the ceremonial will extend over two hours, as the eervics, which is largely choral,- U very long. The f»JI strength, of St. Patrick's and St. Benedicts chqirs will Ls t and all the clergy who havei bee., attending the Synod wjll be present. During next week.

Thames, this day

Rooky Point.—Since commencing opera tions on the Adelaide reef the manager lias obtained about 251bs of fair picked stone. In the present face the reef has just been intersected by a small cross leader, and has not quite recovered from the dis turbing effects. It is composed of a series of detached veins, all lying in good country, and gold-bearing stoping will shortly be commenced over a block of 80ft. in length now opened up, and the Company pos sesses exceptional facilities for working profitably, the expenses of carting and crushing being covered by a yield of 4dwts per load Bricht Smile, — Tho Deeside level has been cleaned out and operations commenced in tho eastern drive on the Candlelight reef. It is supposed that the junction of the foot wall leader will be mot with after proceed ing about 80 feet. Deep Level Cross. — Quartz was again broken on Saturday in the southward drive at tho G.Oft level. The reef con sists of about _._ feet of quartz, but shows no gold. The manager is stack ing the quartz at tho surface, and will pro bably crush the parcel, though a payable return can scarcely be expected in the ab sence of visible gold.

We have beforo drawn attention to tho shipment of largo quantities of local pro duce for Sydney and Melbourne, and now Hud it pleasing to have to record that a new departure has beon made in tho despatch of similar consignments to New castle.

Swoency was a resident of Waikato, where ho leaves a wife and family unprovided for. Ho left Waikato in a waggon for To Aroha, from which ho was granted a freo passage to Thames in a small steamor, and hero his forlorn condition induced Captain Moore, of the Rotomahana, to bring him on hero gratuitously.
