SUPREME COURT. —Yesterday Concluded.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

(Before Hifl Honor Mr Jusslice Gillies.) Assault with Intent to Mordkr.—lacob Hanson, who stood charged with assaulting with intent to murder John Constantino on tho Bth October, was found guilty of a common assault only. The hearing of this charge occupied nearly tho wholo of the day.—His Honor regretted tl a', tho time of tho Court should have boon unnecessarily taken up with a case which might have been summarily dealt with by the magistrate of the district. Tho assault was of a trifling nature, but had been greatly exaggerated by tho urosecutor, as shown in evidence.—The fury endorsed tho opinion expressed by HU Honor.—Mr Cotter, who had spoken for an hour in defence, urged, in mitiga tion of sentence, the fact that prisoner had already suffered two months' imprisonment. _jfis Honor reserved judgment. MaMSIOU.-u-y Woundimi. — Edward Dumont, 2ti, was charged with maliciously wounding Francis Durant, at Frank's restaurant, Darby-street, on the :10th. December. - Prisoner pleaded not BU ilty.—Mr Williamson, Crown Solicitor, stilted' particulars. The prosecutor was a seaman in the omploy of tho Union Steam Shipping Company, and was a lodger at Frank's restaurant. Tho prosecutjr and prisoner had a quarrel about some trilling matter, when Durant struck prisoner, who left and on returning a second time, com mitted the assault with a knife, expressing a wish that he had not done it moro ell'eotuaily. Tho evidence of Henry Bell, expressman, Dr. Torment, aa to tho character of the wound, and Constable Mitchell, as to tho arrest of orisoner, having been heard, Ids Honor mimmed up, pointing out the main facts, and the jury, without leavin X Iho box, found the prisoner guilty.—Sentence, aix months' imprisonment with hard labour.

His Honor: Why the recommendation ? The foreman : Because \.we believe that prisoner has been led into it by ill success in business.—Pri soner: IVo bad a hard struggle, your Honor, and I hope you will be as lenient as possiblp. with me.—His Honor said as this appeared to bo his first offence, the sentence would bo comparatively light, vii., niiio calendar months. Charges Against Martin Swallow.—No In the case of Martin Swallow, charged jyith committing an indecent assault, the (Jrand Jury found "no bill," the foreman (Mr Batger) stating that the evidence, which was of a gross and dis gusting nature, was not sufficient to' prove that an indecent assault j)ad actually been committed, although there was evidence of gross and disgusting indaconcy.—His Honor said ho fully con curred with theexprcsi-ed view.-? of tho Grand Jury that there had been gross indecency, and he was glad to find that the new Act contemplated by tho Legislature would provide for tho duo punislnnont bf such offences. The prisoner, Mar tin Swallow, was then called, and Stood before tho Court without the least sign of shame or perturbation.— His Honor said: ''Martin Swallow, tho Urand Jury have found ' no bill •' in your case on the ground that there is not sufficient evidence of an assault having been com mitted by you ; but they say, as I do now, that tho cases are most disgusting, and such iw to exclude you hereafter from all decent society.

Tlio following gentlemen were elected ofticers for the ensuing year :—President, Mr \Y. S. Fitzgerald (Otago), Treasurer, Mr A. B. Thomson (Hawke's. Bay), Secre tary, Mr t>. While, M.A. (Otago), ro elected. Those gentlemen briefly returned thanks for tho honour conferred upon them. Mr Wihtk, M.A., proposed, and Mr A. S. Weiibbk (Southland) seconded, "That tlio next mooting of tho Institute should bo held on January Cth, next year, in lnver cr.rgill," Mr W. Mir.NE, M.A. (Otago), moved as an nmendment, and Mr Mackay, M.A. (Wellington), seconded, "That the Institute should meet'on January Gth, next year, in Dunedin." The amendment was carried. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. It was resolved, upon tho motion of Mi D. White, M.A, (Otago), seconded by tho Rev. Thos. I'i.AVKrx, M.A. (Christchurch), " That a central Committee of members of the Wellington Institute bo formed, aided by corresponding Committee of tlio other district Institutes to assist tho Government, in carrying out tho education section in tho forthcoming Exhibition." AS APOLOOV, Tho President read an apology for un avoidable non-attendance from Mr Neil Heath, The writer also drew attention to tho desirability of pressing the claims of tenchers in tho New Zealand University. BU idea was that any teacher should bo encouraged to go up for his degjD", an?) that iii order to render his private studies as litllt! onoroiiH as possible, he or she should bo allowed to take up one or more subjects year after year until ho had fulfilled tho necessary conditions. There was great need for an equitable modi hYalion of the existing conditions! in tho interests of the teachers' hoalth. By asking young teachers to get up two or thrto subjects, and at the same time to expend themselves in tho work of the day—touching —the authorities jvorosimply impoverishing tho scholarship, injuring tlio efficiency of tho teacher, and impairing his health. DUrCTATIOK TO OOVKRXMKNT. It was resolved, on tho motion of Mr 1). WuiTK, M.A. (Otngo), "That t)io Council should arrange for a deputation to tlio Min ister of Education, in order to lay boforo him the resolutions of the Institute.1' EDUCATIONAL JOCRXAI.e.

White, M.A. (Otago), for tho performance of his duties as Secretary.

MEETING OF INSTITUTE.

Tho Institute reassembled at half-past ten o'clock this morning, Mr 11. Worth ingtou presiding, and a large number of ladies and gentlemen being present. SCHOLAR-HIPS. Mr C. F. Bourse, M.A. (Headmaster Auckland Grammar School), oponed the discussion upon this subject in a , lengthy and pregnant address. Ho snid that he had a list of resolutions lo propose at the close, tho first of which was directed to securing uniformity. Tho Auckland system seemed to him to aim at keeping the boys out of tho secondary schools ns long a.i possible, and when at la.-t they wero sent, it -ffns only for n limited period-I) years. His second resolution stated tho principles which should bo observed in devising tho scholarship system, and as a tir.-t ste"p in this direction it nllirmed thnt scholarship boys should be brought into tlio secondary schools at tho ago when the secondary course could be commenced under favourable c onditions. At present they were received into tho secondary sohoola at an ago when tho ordinary pupils of those establishments wero leaving school altogether. The result was that they wero unduly handi capped, and that their admission impolud tho smooth working of tho arrangements in tho secondary schools. His third resolution was of a moro practical natuio, inasmuh as it suggested that all scholarships should be divided into two great clusses-junior and senior - which would be susceptible < f still further subdivision. The maximum limit for tho first division should be 13 years, and despite the natural unwillingness of primary school masters to give up good boys at such an early age, still ho thought they would admit it would bo for their advantage when their destination was the secondary school?. Hitherto Auckland had only produced two scholarship co)s under 13 yeara, and yet this was tho cla-s which might be expected to supply tho winners of University scholarships. For sonior scholarships tho limit of age should be liltcon years, tho subjects of ex amination to be those of tho secondary course, while those of the junior class should be subjects taught in tho primary schools Mr Bonnie concluded by answering the objections to junior and senior scholarships, and by pointing out the viluo of technical scholarships. Mr J. Mackay, M.A. (Wellington Pel was glad to bo able to acknowledge how much "ood had beon done in tho secondary schools of Wellington by tho holders of scholarships from the primary schools. (ienerally they hnd been models of industry, intelligence, and good conduct, and they exercised a vcr>r wholesome influence in tho schools. A course of two years'tuition, however, \vi s quite insufficient, but then other scholar ships were open to them, tho winning of which enabled them to extend the course three years longer. Ko objected to Mr Boijrne-'s suggested division of scholarships into the two classes of junior and .'enior ho had mentioned. (1) That the junior scholar; ships would hnve-tho effect of draining tho primary schools of their best pupils at too early an ago, and (2) that tho senior scholarships would be confined to pupils of the secondary schools. He would have only one class of scholarships, and therefore ho aroposed as an amendment—"That Educa iion Board scholarships be open to boys and pirls not exceeding 15 years of ago who have attended a primary school for at least two years, and have passed the sixth standard; that they be tenable for threo years, subject to good conduct and pawing with credit the annual examination of tho secondary schools at which they are hold." Tho Rev. Tiros, Flavell M.A. (Christ church) seconded the resolutions pro form-, Mr M.UKRAY (Auckland) seconded the amendment mv forma Mr H. Mason (Newton West), in sup porting the amendment, charged Mr Bourne with Magnifying his otlico aa teacher of a secondary school. Mr M. FKARSLEY, M.A. (Nelson College), agreed with Mr Mackay that the scholar ship boys from the primary schools wero the brightest ornaments of the secondary schools.°He sympathised with Mr Bourne's remarks but on tho whole inclined to sup port Mr Mackay. Mr McAiiTHUR (Auckland Training Col loge), In a lengthy and cdmprehensivo speech, discussed Mr Bourne's1 proposals, and in doing so suggested as a compromise between him and Mr Mackay that the time limit for junior scholarships should bo 14 yeni'B instead of 13 years. MrHooBEX, M.A. (Christchurch North), and the Rev. It.' Coates supported tho original resolution. Mr D. White, M.&, (Otago), heartily supported Mr Bourne's resolutions, as the system .advocated in them was the ono which was working with such excellent effect in Otago. The junior age limit was not too low. Ho was surprised that aich an absurd scholarship prevailed in Auck land as that which it was now sought to reform. Several other speakers having expressed their views, Mr BOORS!?, in his reply, said that it was nothing short of a public scandal that in Auckland scholarships founded out of public m< my should bo given away by examiners whose names were kept care fully concealed. It was not so elsewhere. Upon vote being taken, the amendment was rejected on the casting vote of the Chairman. Mr Bourne's resolutions wero then put and carrfed At tho Chairman's suggestion, Mr Bourne consented to omit the fourth resolution re technical scholars-hips.
