MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT PONSONBY.

A Child Strangled.

A little girl named Helena Smith, aged about two years, a daughter of Mr Smith, carpenter, of George-street, Ponsonby, met her death yesterday afternoon under circumstance? of a somewhat unusual character. It appears that the child had been in the "habit of play ing with the children of a neighbour named Graham. Yesterday afternoon the little girl with her companions, the eldest of whom was not more than five or six years of age, had been amusing themselves with a swing suspended in an outhouse at the rear of Mr Graham's residence. It would appear that the other children went out leaving the little girl, Smith, swinging. About 3.30 o'clock, Mrs Graham had occasion to go into the outhouse, and the first thing that met her horror-stricken gaze was the body of the little girl suspended by the neck from the swing. She was quite dead. She had evidently lost her seat on the swing, and slipping down, the rope had become entangled round her neck. Her feet were only 16 inches from the ground. Dr. McMullen was nt once summoned. He nronounced that the child had been dead some time, and stated the cause of death to be strangulation. The inquest on the body commenced at three o'clock this afternoon at the Suffolk Hotel, before Dr. Philson, Coroner.

CITY EAST LICENSING COURT.

(Before Messrs Newman (Chairman), Edson, Hill, Fry, and Buchanan, Mr J. B. Stoney (Clerk), and Mr J. B.

Thomson (Superintendent of Police.)

Thk Waverley License.—An applica tion was made for the transfer of the license of the Waverley Hotel from George Isles Pantor to Daniel Arkell.—Mr Cotter ap. peared in support of the application, and stated that it was one of the usual nature. AlrStonoy would report that the papers are all in order, certificate and license were at tached. —The application was made under the SStli section of the Act, and was for a permanent license. —Mr Thom son put in his report as to accom modation, etc. That was all that the Act required to bo inado.— The Chair man aaid the Committee had not the annual report before them.—Mr Thomson said it had been customary only to furnish such information on the printed form as sup plied.—The Chairman said tho commission had no antecedent bofore them in regard to tnis hotel, and fora fuller report the matter would be adjourned for a fortnight. Nottingham Castle Hotel.—Mr Hes keth informed the Court that thtf plans had been submitted and approved for the erection of tho new Nottingham Castle Hotel, and that it would bo finished by the next licensing day. The work would be done upon the faith of tho predecessors of the present Committee. —The Chairman said tho Court was not prepared to give an expression of opinion to-day in respect to this hotel. There had been serious objec tions made against Mio house.—Mr Hesketh asked the Court to consider the persons involved in this speculation, which would involve somo £1,500 or £1,600. —The Chairman then addressed Mr Thomson in tho following words:— "This being tho first meeting of tho Licensing Committee for the East Ward, you will naturally look for an expression of our views, and for some indications as to tho mode of action wa intend to pursue. As Chairman, I am authorised to say to you and to the publicans in this Ward, that wo feel deeply the responsibility we aro under to tho public and tho license-holders, and, although in the interost of the public, wo shall, when tho timo arrives, refuse tho extension of licenses till midnight. With regard to the Sunday trading, we foel that we shall be dofending the interests of thoso who have always obeyed the law by forcing rbedience to it upon those who have systematically broken the law. It is obviously unjust towards those who observe the law that others, for selfish ends, should openly be allowed to break the law, and we confidently rely upon the public, as well as the police, to aid us in upholding tho law, and to furnish us with such evidence as will justify ub in withholding & license when the law is violated. With regard to barmaids, since public opinion, and, in many cases, public morals are so grossly injured by their em ployment, we may reasonably expect that the discontinuance of upstairs bars will tend to remove this evil. It is therefore our Intention to withheld thorn."—Mr Thomson said lie agreed with the remarks of tho Court. He had always done his best to put down Sunday trading, but without the ntoral support of tho Bench the police were powerless, They had to labour in tho faco of many difficulties. He, Mr Thomson, hed brought strong cases for^ ward, but many of them, through tl)e luke warmness of the Bench, had been dismissed. Such failures of justicp wpro disheartening and discouraging.—Mr Heskoth desired to know what the Court intended to do in respect of ths Nqtt^ngham Gastlp Hotel.—The Chairman said, in consequence of the serious objections against a license being granted, they had determined to re fuse It on tho Licensing day.—Mr Hesketh intimated that, relying upon the previous Committee, the work would proceed.

The Court then rose.

N.Z. RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

Important Meeting of Mombors.

A MEETING of members of the N.SJ.R.A. waa held at the IMll-Bhed last evening, Hon. Alajor Baillio presiding- The Secretary, Mr Stevons, brought up a rough balance-sheet, which had been prepared by tho Finanoo Committee. It showed that tho expenses wero very heavy. Several members spoke strongly about the ex penditure, objoction being particularly made to tho; bringing of register keepers and others from "v^tagton, when services of efficient men could have been obtained hero. Captain Mahon moved, and it was resolved, -'That with the view of keeping down expenditure, this SooSngls o( opinioSthat in future the affairs S theTAssociation should be left in the hands r!f thn local Exeuutivo Committee in the town in which Buehmeetinß shall be held, and that tholocal committee should be held responsible fc r the employment of markers, reelsler-keepers and others, and that tho officer command ing too district lv which. 'the annual meet ing is held should be written to, with the rmnint of the Government to take charge of S carried S That the Council of the Association bo roqucßted to amend tho rules, W Hh a view to giving effect to the lore going resolution." A communication -was re- Solvod from Mr Poach, demandmg £100 for the use of Ws ground as a range.-Captainß Cienan and Payne stated there must be somo mistake as Mr Peach had Riven the use of his and gratuitously, tho only proviso he made bringfhat n to > event of any of his fences betag pulled down, they shpuld bo re ejected and in tho ovenfof any of the cattjo being shot that ho should be compensated It wis docked to put the ground in the same state as it was before tho meeting, and votes^of thnnk-n wpre accorded to tho A.K.l>.. ana K> mr Paach for tho liae of the range.
