A NOVEL LIBEL ACTION

A Cleric and Sea Captain at Logger bends.

The preliminary steps have just been taken in a suit for libel, which promises to engage considerable interest ns well as to afford nmple opportunity for pleasantry, should it find its way into Court. A clergyman of the Church of England, who" has resided for pome time past in Auckland, but who is without a flock to minister to, is the plaintiff, while the defendant is the well-known skipper of a ship engaged in trading between London nnd Auckland, and now in thin port. The alleged libel w.is committed both during t.he'previous voyage of the vessel to Auck land (when plaintiff was among the pas sengers), and also after her arrival here. It seems that, the alleged libel consisted in the captain denouncing the cleric buforo the passengers as a swearer, a pugilist, and a gambler, and .similarly cheapening his character to Bishop Cowie, the alleged re sult being his failure to obtain Priestly em ployment or recognition. Ho then made application to the Board of Education, and failing there also attributed his want of success to tho Bame agencies. The reverend prosecutor, we understand, also prefers a number of minor complaintsagainstthocaptaiivimongstfchem being that ho was subjected totherterision oi the passengers through his efligy beingslung up to tho yardarm, doubtless to signify what, in tho skipper's opinion, was tho fate which ho morited. Tho captain will doubt less put another complexion upon the story, but at present he has taken no action.

Ouinne.w was returned. TJie election was declared null find void on account of certain irregularities.

Tjmabjj, this day,—Tho Supreme Court opened today. Tho ■' calendar is an ordinary one, and not heavy, thoro being only one case of an uncommon nature, viz., counterfeiting coin of tho realm, with which t\fo men, father and son, are charged. The Civil list is a long one.

The Hon. Mr Tole received to-day a reply from Wellington stating that tho "Oazetto" notico making the Manukau wharf charges the same as those at Auckland has just been issued. A deputation waited on tho Hon. Mr Tole to-day to urge tho establishment of a railway station forParnell. MrCoora, of the Railway Department, said there were groat difficulties in the way. Trains would have to be mado 20 per cent, lighter owing to tho steep incline. Mr Tole promised to arrange for the stoppage of trains during the holi days. At the quarterly licensing meeting of the Newmarket Licensing District today, the only business -was the granting of 3 tem porary transfers. The Committee declined to extend the hours of sale, from 10 to 11 p.m. A meeting of the New Zealand share holders in the N.Z. Land and Mortgage Company was held to-day, Sir Y. Whitaker presiding. The Chairman spoke of the satisfactory results of- the first year's operations, which enabled them to de clare a dividend of 7 per cent. The retiring directors, Sir F. Whitaker, Dr. Campbell, and Mr D. L. Murdoch,' were then re-elected, and Mr A. Boardman waa re-appoined auditor.
