DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(Before H. O. Both Smith, Keg , District Judge.

.Pokier, v. Wiluams.— Mr Madden for plaintiff, and Mr Mahony for defendant.— This waa an action to recover £50 4s, balance due on a contract, including extras, for erection of a house at Parnell. Dofen danthad pleaded that tho work was bad, ami that the extras were ovor-estimated, and claimed a sot-oft' for moneys expended in completing the work, and a time penalty ■of £150 for non-completion of contract a9 agtsed. The hearing took place last Court day, and His Honor, in giving judgmont yesterday afternoon, held that defendant bad established his case, and that plain tiff had clearly " scamped " the work, 03 alleged. He therefore disallowed plain tiff's claim, and gave judgment for the do fendant for the whole of his sot-oft'(gave one imall item), which, allowing for the excess to bring tho claim within his jurisdiction, amounted to £100, He also ordered tho plaintiff to pay tho costs, JUI2 2s.

Tbe Mangaxo Bull C-ibo. Ciubles Bakkr v. U. E, MoCbae.— Claim, £25, damages for a horse gored to death, by defendant's bull. After we wont t<) press yostorday, the defendant's caso was opened up.—The defendant, Gcorgo Kootne McCrao, doposed that ho was a farmer residing at M angaro, and owuor of tho bull in question. lie had had it. for two years, and it was six months old when ho sot it. It was a quiet bull, and ho never Inew it to manifest any vicious tendoncy Ho had kept it in a paddock along with korees and cows. He was knocked down ou one occasion by the bull. He wont up to it, pat his hand on its head, and scratched .& Tho bull then gave him a poke which -knocked him down. It was done in play. His children had been accustomed to bring the bull from the paddock, and he had lever known it to rush them. Prior to the accident in question, it had never attacked a horse, and hi? own horses had never been injured by it. On the 2nd February tho bull wns in his paddock. That night he had to release the bull from the pound. Of his own personal know ledge ho knew nothing of the accident. IHe taw the dead horse lying on the road, bat ho did not go close to it, nor did he know whoae horse it was. After the acci dent he had a conversation with plaintiff. He offered to lend plaintiff his own horse, bat admitted no liability for tho dead bone. He did, however, offer plaintiff £10, because he did not want to go into Court. He had never bad any complaints from his neighbours, Hutchinson said he did not lay any blame upon the bull for knocking him down.—Cross-examined : He was not fond of litigation. He had, however, been about four times in Court within the last twelve months. Ho got tho bull from Mr J. M. Clark. He never warned Punwoodie jpecially about the bull, but cautioned him to keeohis children out of his (witness's) pad docks. Alex. Bruce (employed by plaintiff), Samuel Goofloman (farmer), James Skirving (jsbrk in Arms Office),.Tohn Guthrie (clerk), Joseph Condor (farmer), James Campbell Hosborough (carponter), Richard Barrett (labourer), John llothery (farm labourer), ud John Laurie (farm servant), having a knowledge of the bull in question, jjuvo evidence that they had never seen any signs M vice in it. James McCaul (farmer) Barry Ogle (carter), and John Boland (farmer), also deposed as to the wound sustained by plaintiffs horse. ~ The Court resumed at 9.30 this morning, tod MCCooper at once opened his address 'to the jury for the defence. Mr Cotter followed upon the plaintiff's case. Both gentlemen spoko at considerable length. Tha jury, after half-an-hour'd delibera tion, returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant on both issues submitted to Kwm.. They found that the bull was not ■ vicious, or mischievous, or dangerous animal, and that if it was, the de fendant had no knowledge of this. Tho 'alue of the mare was fixed at £20. -Mr Cooper moved for judgment for the defen font.—Mr Cotter stated that notwithstand ing the verdict of the jury, he wished to wgne that it ought to be entered for the plaintiff.-Afs Honor stated that he would toe the argument on another day.

The native chiefs Patare to Tuhi, Honana to Maioha, and To Hira to Kawau visited the Austrian warship Saida yesterday, in tho company of Mr Glover, of the Auckland Hotel. The Very Roy. Father Walter Mc- Donald was alstf present, and interested himself vory much in the proceedings. It is needless to say that heandhis-brother, tho Key. Dr McDonald, have been constant and devoted friends of the Ma,orieß for the last thirty years. The party were hospitably received and entertained at dinner. The chiefs pio aonted tbo otlicors with soveral meres and other curiosities, while a valuable present was also sent to the Austrian Emporor. The Austrian? made presents of arillo, gun-, '.lugger, sword, and baton in return. Tho Scttda takes her departure from Auckland to morrow. To the Editor : Sir,—The poor harmless street urchin standing at the street corner is 'by our conservators of tho peace and Of propriety, peremptorily ordered to " move on !" whilo those " gentleman of the turf," who porsistontly form themselves into knots on tbo vory narrow footpaths of Vulcan Lane and thoroby render foot traffic well-nigh im ro isible without circnitously winding round them, are allowed to mako themselves a public nuisance, without even an ad monition from our supposed übiquitous hobby. Why this stungo obliquity in tho vision of the force—Yours, etc., Jus- TITIA. One of tho must ludicrouu incidents perhaps that was over witnessed on a stage occurred during ono of M. Romenyi's peoformances at Nelson. Tho old gentle inin was throwing his wholo soul into the music, and playing aa usual, with hia ©yea closed, to an entranced audience, when suddenly the violin ceased to play, and there droppedfromthebowthewholeoftheßtriDgß which depended from the maestro's hand disheveled and in disorder and looking very like a wisp of Sax. The expression of astonishment and bknk dismay that came over the performor's face was so ludicrous that the deathlike stillness which prevailed was suddenly changed to shouts of laughter, which, however, were speedily quieted when M. Romenyi having quickly procured another bow commenced his playing from the point at which it had bo unexpectedly broken off.

BOURKE-STREET BY NIGHT.

AMONG THE BOYS,

Tlio Secret Out,

[fIY THE TRAM!I.]

Standing with ono's back to that huge, unsightly mass of bricks, mortar, and wood work which in years to come may, when it issues irom its present embryo stato, adorn the head of Bourke-street, and looking down, aa it were, into tho valloy bolow, formed by the intersection of Elizabeth streot, some slight Idea may bo gained of tho vast population, resources, arid business of this London of tho South. It is Saturday night. A clear, calm, balmy night, heralded in by one of Australia's magnificent sunsets —a night on which this littlo world of ours is all abroad with "its Bistora, its cousins, and its aunts." All is life, movement, and brightness. Far as the oyo can ccc, the > broad parements arc covered with a living stroam, that flows gradually on, overlapping its orthodox channels as it steadily increases in volume, until it becsmes one vast sea oi human faces, swaying hithor and thithor like tho undulating waves of tho mighty ocean. Omnibuses—and they lire legion pass and ropasß, heavily freighted, while in the distance the varied hues of tho many colourod lamps, intomperaod here and there with the most brilliant and silvery scintilla tions of tho electric lights, lorid to the scene an additional enchantment, as difficult to dopict in words as in imagination to por tray. Veni, vidi, scribendi. In close proxim ity, and evidently kconly watching tho groat human panorama with interest and enjoy ment, stand a little group under the veran dah of a well-known hotel. They are our English crickoting frionds, men who have travolled through all tho principal cities in tho colonies, and one of them expresses the opinion that ho has seen "naught tho like." One and all appear in good health and spiritß, even to "tho infant," whoso sudden transition from tho back of a buckjumpor to mother earth rocontly causod his friends to opine that his hasty dissolution of partner ship with tho leather had boon for good. A gentlemanly, genial, frank, outspoken team are these Englishmen, with a courtoGu? captain, and a gonuino "lily whlto "man as manager. As old friends we come again together. Matches won, lost, drawn, and in perspective, form tho theme of conversation, md rightmerrily are many amusingincidents of the tour recounted. Not but what they they suffered some hard knocks in their cam paign as "Knights of the Willow," the wicket-keeper of the team more especially, as evidenced by a damaged finger and thumb. *'Never mind," said tho namesake of our England's greatest statesman, "we have a capital remedy for those kinds cl aches and pains, as our fellows have found out. I will say that much for St. Jacob." Leaving our visitors, I mingle in tho crowd which still moves in an endless procession up and down what has been fncetiously termed the half-crown side of Bourke-stroet. Of every olass, ago, height, and appearanco, truly a thoroughly representative throng, in which the gentler sex-bar a sprinkling of viragos—appear to pledoihinute. Tho steady-, bird-working artisan, arm in arm with tho partner of ills joys and sorrows ; the blushing maiden and. her escort; the' over-dressed, ogling, profligate, would-be masher; and tho loud-mouthorl,brn%ed-faced larrikin—one and all are here brought for the nonce into close though not desirablo proximity. The shops are all aglow, the windows tastefully and in many cases artis tically dressed, and business for the hour reigns triumphant. Meditating on the pro gress Melbourne baa made in tho past few years, and still making headway as a unit in tho densely-packed crowd, my career was suddenly chocked by a hearty nlmko and a "Hullo! is that you, old fellow?" JarvU, by all that's wicket! Everyone knows Jtir vi-t, or ought to know the eolobrated South Australian cricketer. He is all there. Wo adjourn and fraternise. "I caught it in that last match," he says, as he discloses to viow a bruise of Mahdilace colour the sizo of a boarding-house pancake. "It was a regular stinger at tho time." Expressing an opinion "th.-xt it must bo vory painful, I was met ,vith the reply, ''Not a bit of it j I always use St. Jacob's Oil whonovor I get a nasty knock, and that relieves me instantly. In fact, I may say that I have great faith in it, as it is a splendid thing in the cricket field." Conversing on things in general,weagain resume sur peregrinations. Crossing Swanston-street our attention is drawn to an enormous crowd, who, to all appearance, are intent on one object,as they sway and surge in the vain attempt to get closer to one of tho windows of some busi ness establishment.. What is the excite ment? Is it a fight, or has someone fallen down in a fit? "Nothing of the kind," says my companion, "you must have heard of Boyle and Scott; this is their place, a regular athletes' house you'll find. Thoy post all telegrams and reports of various matches; that accounts for the crowd, Come along, I'll introduce you.'1 By dint of perseverance, power and pres sure, wo ultimately arrive at tho de sired haven, where tho wickets cease from troubling, and the batsmen aro at rest. Busy ana all as were the two partners, executing a largo order for an adjacent colony, they found time after introduction to do' tbo honours of the establishment Every requisite nccoßsary for cricket, foot ball, tennis, la enwro, boxing, fenoing, and a ho:,t of other athlotic, manly games and exorcises were to bo lound here; in fact, it was a right-of-way o«t tho most varied and complete stock I have ever aeon in tho colonies. You can go in, pay your monoy and take your choice, and coma out in a few minutes completely equipped from crown to sole either as a cricketer, tootbal'er—or any other man. As an instanco of the reputa tion of the firm, I may mention that among other orders thoy wore com pleting was one for tho Flowery Land—laying the foundation, as it wero, of a future Heathen Chinoe Eloven. As conding to the upper floor of their extensive premises, I was shown an enormous and magnificent stock of bats, mado to the order of Mr Boyle by the best makers in the mother country. The great Canadian-gamo, la croflse, is now making rapid strides in Australia, and to keep pace with tho de mand, Messrs Boyle and Scott have had made to their order, and selected by one, of the best judgOß in Montreal.a grand collec tion of la croese sticks, which are well worthy of inspection. Leaving the business portion of the establishment, we entered a nicely-furnished billiard room, which is provided for those patrons of therwoprietora who at ovn prefer the green baize to the emerald sward. The company, though large, was select, comprising notable cricketers and footballers. Even tho con versation was highly savory of the oricket field. "Three out for a hundred," said a redoubtable batsman, whose name is vory euggest^vo of a cool season, as he laid down the evening paper. " What match i was that?" was asked by an unsuspecting listener. " Why at Tamai, British versus Arabs!" was the rejoinder.and then his inter rogator understood cricketing phraseology. Speaking to Mr Alexander, the genial manager of tho Australian Eleven, on his experiences of tho recent tour, I casually mentioned the hard knocks and bruises some of his team must have sustained. In bo doing I struck oil with a vengeance. "For twenty years," said Mr Boyle, "I have played crioket and have received many a nasty blow, but of -late years I can take them like my breakfast, as I have found that by the use of St. Jacob's Oil lam free from any pain or trouble.1 It's capital etuff, and I never go into the field without a bottle ia case of accident." "In that respect," said Mr Alexander, "lean endorse your opinion, as while the Austra lian Eleven where in England they used it repeatedly for bruises, and found it of tho greatest service." At this stage aMr Law ler, of the Essendon Football Club, entered the room, and hearing the subject matter of conversation, chimed in with, " What, St. Jacob's Oil? that s the thing for bruises. I got some nasty blows in football matches, and it gave me instant relief. You ask Crawford, of the Carlton Football Club, if' you have any doubts en its merits." After such testimony in its favour, of course I could express no doubt on the sub ject ; but, to clinch the matter in that respect, Mr Scott added, " I have used it' for years, and can afford to laugh at knocks and brujeee, aud I may say that I have strongly recommended it to all tny friends engaged in athletic sports." As time was going on apace, and business called aivay the two partners, we agaiu turned into Bourke-Btreet, which was stHl thronged, although tho hour was somewhat late. Bidding my South Australian companion " Adieu," I wended my way homewards fully impressed with the scenes of activity, business, and life I hod seen on every hand, and thoroughly satisfied that St. Jacob's Oil ranks pre-em;r>ently to the foie as the athlete's friend generally, and the cricketer and footballer's in particular. !

T OCAL OPTION LEAFLETS. No. 1. What would be the GAIN resulting from an INCREASE of Public Houses in our midst ? We imagine, nay, we are certain, that thore would bo no gain; it would be all loss. For this is a FACT, that as "sight of moans to do 111 deeds makes ill deeds done," SO an increase in the facilitica for obtaining drink means infal libly moro DRINKING and more DRUNKEN NESS: and whoso votes for an incroaso in tho number of existing drinking houses is morally responsible for tho increased . drunkenness, misery, nnd crime which would ensue Again and most assuredly, the enrich ment and prosperity of the owner or lessee ot a licensed houso can only be secured at tho cost of the poverty and degradation and ruin of SOME who frequent such nouses: it may be that YOU or some member of YOUR FAMILY will be the victim. Are you prepared to be co victimised, or to ba instrumental in the downfall of others ? You cay, NO; then vote NO on tho day of election, and persuade others to do likewise. Further arguments are to hand for those who need to beconvlnced.ln readiness for the comic g crisis. Amongst them, THEBE: A man's family interests will move him soraotimos when his own do not. What of your SONS and DAUGHTERS it you increase the facilities for drinklrg? Licensed Houses mean full oft HCENMKD TEMPTATION*. There, your sons may bo tempted to DRINK and GAMB LE, and to do worse things than those. Are you prepared to votofor 'man-traps' and 'snares' of the worst possible kind j Are you prepared, too.^jy voting for an inorcaso of thebe places, to open still wider tho door for Sabbath desecra t'on and ite concomitant evils ? If you want to keep your district as peaceful and harmonious as possible, your property from deterioration, your sons and daughters from contamination; in short, if you want to keep out a host of evils which could only be catalogued in 'tears, and groans, and blood,' then, whether for the intro duction or increase of public-houses, register your vow in heaven, NO 1 and place in the bal lot-box your vote, in an emphatic NO I AUCKLAND NORTH LICENSING DISTRICT —Temperance Hall, Albert street, THURS DAY, May 14th.
