ALLEGED OUTRAGE IN RERESFORD-STREET.

_ Heal disgraceful scone occurred last night about 8 o'clock in tho vicinity of the Congregational Church. A young man was walking along Beresford-streot, and when near the Foresters' Hall he heard cries of "Murder! murder'! help! help! Oh.somo body come." For a moment ho took little notice, merely thinking that it waa eomo children playing. As the cries were repeated, however, de crowed tbe road, and proceeded towards Beresford - street Congregational ChunA, from which locality they appeared to be coming. Just as ho reached the gate way a woman's voice was heard screaming "Murder I Help lOh come, whoevor you _o!" Thiscausodalady andgontloman who were in front to pause, and tho young man rwnarkedthat something must bo wrong, and ran along the avonuo of pino trees lead ing toward, tho Pitt-street entranco to tho chnreh grounds, The other gentleman aleo left his partner, and followed in tho direc tion of the cries. When about half-way along the avenue the young man dis cerned a couplo o? figures struggling on tbe ground. As ho got cloeor a taan sprang to bis feot and ran to wards the Pitt-Btroet entrance. Tho young man instantly daabed in pursuit, and over taking iho iogitive beforo ho reached the gateway, at once seized him by the wrist with tbe left band, holding his stick ready in his right band in otwo of a fight. For c second or two the man struggled, but •pon seeiag the second gentleman, who had pansed to speak to th. woman, ho sur rendered at discretion. The woman, who appeared respectable, then came up and ac cused the man of having followed her along the avenue, and when at tho darkest por _e»i seized and thrown her to tho ground and attempted to commit a Criminal assault npon her, Sho struggled violently and soreamod for assistance, which resulted hi her rescue. Upon being asked what she was doing in the avonuo In the flirt place, she stated that hor sister llTcd ia Beresford-streot, and she was going to see her, and wont along tho Menuefor a'ehort cut. Tho man averred that the woman was . bad character, who had accosted him, and requested him to come with her. He had dono so, and she Immediately began to Bcream. In reply to the man's accusation, tho woman said that it was all falso. As the woman did not request that toe man should bo handed ovor to Jke police, tho rescuers refrained from ™ng so, merely cautioning him that lie had rendered himself liable to a vory severe punishment, even supposing ho had only detained the woman against hot will. Jwy then let him go, and ho quiokly made himself scarce. The woman, who was i!_ wc'tea> proceeded along Bores ford-street after gratefully thanking her rescuers. Upon examining tho ground Where Hie affair occurred, thero were evident marks of a severe struggle, the ground being dug up and tho shells on the walk displaced, which goes to confirm the woman's Btory. Whon tfio two Bntlemen first arrived, hor c .thing was all Marranged,and bo was that of tho assaulter. Whatever view we tako of this affair, it *ould appear that a gross cisc of hideeency »"i perpetrated, and it is to be regretted that the man was not handed over to the police.

nP" ffisttet WM reported to the police »U morning, and Detective Hughes *m at once detailed to inquire «w the affair. Up till the timo of ■« going to press, his efforts had been "M-weaaful, He searched carefully for a P»no_ of the name given by the woman, _?• v caDle to t"0 conclusion »« it was false. Undor theso circum "jM^itishardto determine whether or "Ot the man's statement may not, after «U be correct. It is to bo hoped that, if «? woman is respectable, she will at once Momanicate with tho police.

CORRESPONDENCE.

[ADVEHTISEMEN-.] Ponsonby Election. (To tho Editor.) Sin— Yonr second report, ef Mr Evans's spercl at the recent ratepayers' meeting in Ponsonb Hall, In my opinion, confirms the accuracy .1 your first roport in its main and only important feature. Mr Evans cam. to the hall ostensii.h to oxprose hia viows on mv.i dpal matters, a_i his intentions should ho bo elected to li 1 th present yaoanoy, and I promised to retire should ihcso bo satisfactory. Tho first report bUto that he (Mr Evans) could givo tho ratepayers nn programme of what hia course would be, and although, in your second roport, you assure v lliat you thero (.ivo tho pith of Mr Evan,, address, thoro Is no appearance ot a programm cyon there. Thia was the great, point on wliKli Mr Evans waa a failure on tho night of thi mooting.

it is an oaay thing to impugn tho accuracy ol any statements in general terms, but the onlj way in which this can bo done elfcctually ib bj pointing out tio particular errors. Now, fir there arc errors and misleading omission, in youv Bucond report that, with your permission. » will- point out. Mr Ifivana is ropr.s.nlcd a statingho was at a dUiulvantagu through ins not furnishing him with a copy of my printed circular prior to tho nuoting. Mr 10 vans mail- iv. biich statement. He complained that ho only re colvod it in his own house when he returned f .in town that day, but ho confessed that I . a 1 shown it to him on Ilia previous 'I hut-day. It however, ought not lo have disconcerted him had ho nevor Keen the circular, ns Huto >mis notliing there he had to grapple with: ho merely had to attend the meeting and . ate his vie v., it ho had any, on city matters. Mr Evans, In alluding to Jorvoi- Road, is made to say that 1 had "Eclllshly" tried to goi tho Council to oxpend £2.00i> in cutting up J.- vnia ltoad, from tho Threo Lampa " westward " l'lioao two worda. "flolllshly "and "westward," woro not used by Mr Evans, but wero iiißcrted by your " Disinterested Ratepayer," In order to inninnato that I had some personal inteivst in this matter, and wero so far untrue and nila loading. I reside on the Jervois Koad, west ward, but about threc-quartora of a mile from where tho Woik Would havo ended had it boen done, and bo could havo no "selfish" ond in viow in tho course I took. Tho facta of tho case arc thoso : —Tho City Council, in fixing the love's of this road, chose to provido that, whenever thoy Bhould makn it, thoy would mako it to n lovel thnt would causo a cutting of Ift at the end of Sholly Boa h Road. Ift at the ond of Cirran ftrcct, and 6ft botwocn these points, and Bhould I anyono build In tho meantime, when tho cutting would bo mado ho would bo loft abovo the Btivi level, and would havo no claim for com pen 'ion. Tho property owners felt aggrieved at 'l.i. and got up a petition in which they re (i "..sled ih.lt, as tho Council had providod for e-'ng tills work Bonictinio. they would do it nt ■ a 'C, and I think, if Mr Evans had beon one of I I 0.0, ho would have mado tho samorequcat. I : i ivaented their potltion for thorn, and 1 1 olt thnt unlike the Ponsonby Road contracts, to which Mr Evans novor objected, nor did Mr Boardman eithor, though the work waa at hi? own door, and tho cost £5,71" oa 31, thiacontraoi would aupply a largo quantity of earth to mako many adjacent stroots that are now lmpaßsable. It would supply material for Soymourstro.t, Brook Square, Curran-streot, Molfort-Ptree', Varborough Terrace, Haekett-streot, Sheehar street, &c, &o. If would cause an extons'on of building in those localltloa. anil an lncroaso of cltyrevenun that Would 3obn pay tho int.re.t on tho whole Outlay, and I thought that out of £-59.0 loan to be spint In tho whole of Ponsonby Ward, this locality would not be absorbing too much if it rocolved £ 1.000. Again, whilo your " Disinterested Ratopoyer" roporta Mr Evnnß'a attack upou me relativo to Alma I'laca. ho does not givo my reply. Ho doea not montlon that I told the ratcpayars that, whon the question of A'ma Place drainage came boforn the Council, tlmy referred ltto tho .roots Committoo. anil that, I waa tho only Ponsonby roproßehtativo thoro, and that I strongly buo ported tho application of tho Alma Placo people on that Committee nnd that on our recommen da'lon the Council ordered the work to bo doh'\ Your "Dislnterentod Ratepayer", alaO states rliat Mr Evans Indicated tiro works that he consldorod neeCßßarv. Mr Evans ment'oned no worka ho would flak for. Tho old anu of ton refuted accusatiqn of sfr Boafditan iB also given, but my nnßwer is aiipprosacd. Mr Boardman accuaod mo of having had bluo metal apr.ad down to my own back door. I then rcquostod Bomo ratopayor to answer him, and ho was laughed at, and told that up to tho present time thoro was none thoro.

In your llrst roport of the ratopayora' mcotiDir, most of Mr Kvanj's chargoa against mo wore onilttod, and had they been iosirtod, replica to them ought, ln fairne_, to havo been added, and as you havo now published the charges. I trust you will, in common fairness, also publish the replies.

As to tho question ot Mr Evanß oddroßsinß the moctlnK whon called upon, ho certainly did addrojathem, if stating that ho " fully under stood that Mr Kidd would address the oleotors llrst" can bo called addressing them, but I understood tho statement in yonr flr-.t report that Mr Kvaos refused to addresß the meeting, to mean that ho refused to stato hia views of Council matters and tho pro gramme ho meant to follow should ho bo elected, and I understood his remaining in his scat whin I obiocted to address tho incetlngasacandldate, until I Bhould have docided to Btaml, no a furthor rofiißol on his rart to placo his viows before them, ana I, therefore, think that, the Btat"monts In your _ret repeat wore cor cot.— Yours, Kov, J. 11.
