THIS DAY.

Fraud.—On the. Court resuming at ten o'clock this morning, Charles Waltor Lancaton, convicted yosterday of obtaining money from Samuel Dickey by moans of a fraudulent pretence, was brought up for sentence.—Upon being asked if ho had any thing to urge why sentence Bhould not bo passtd, the prisoner said he had jjj, invalid mother and wife do randing upon him for support ; that he was willing to refund the £30 ; and that he had been already incarcerated for throe months, during tho whole of which time he had been under medical treatment.—His Honor, in sentencing the priaonor, said : " you have been found guilty by tho ver dict of the jury of the offence with which you are charged. I might also say upon your own confession, for tho stato men fc which ycu made in dofenco was a virtual admission of tho charge laid acrninat you. I have considered the recom. nTendation of the jury, but I confess thai I cannot see in the evidence anything to justify the recommendation. Your fraud v,as carefully planned and del'" oora t o ]y executed, and was intended to bo a f rau d of a much larger charactor than c,(- en tha t of which you have been found jruiity. Ac cording to your own avowal your intention was to defraud some other -person to a much larger extent. In those arcurcstances Ido not see my way, althou j^ t^ia j 8 youl . firat offence, to inflict a I sentence than nine months' ißir/riaonment with hare labour."—The pn^'ner wan then romoved <rom the dock. Alleged In trance Fraud.-Oswald Hortzog surr' jeered to his bail, and was arraigned '"^pon an indictment charging him with * jiving attempted to defraud the Colonial / ns u r ance Co. of f 50, in respect of the foe 4 at the Lyceum Hall in Hobson-st. — 0) D,y claiming for goods which were not c|ef ,croyed at all; (2) by claiming an excoa e'jve value for the goode that were de stroyed; and (3) by claiming for goods that did not belong to him at all.—The prisoner, who was defended by Mr E. Hesketh, pleaded not guilty. — James Bannatyne Graham, manager of tho Colonial Insurance Co at Auckland, de posed that the accused, about nine months Igo, effected witb him a policy of insurance over stock, furniture, and timber, £50, tools, etc., £75, and clothing, £25, con tained in a building in Hobsonstreet. On the 27th February, accused sent in a ■claim for loss. Witness gave him the form {produced), and told him he would Lave to make out a detailed list of the goods lost and their value. He brought it back a day or so later, filled up in his own handwriting. It struck witness as peculia' that the claim for the cloth Bhould be, exactly the amount of the inßnrance, viz., £25 in two items, £10 and £5, and he therefore, askod for further particulars, which were given. As for the timber stock and tools, etc., the amount claimed was far in excess of the insurance, and as he could not re duce it he had to pass it upon accused's representations, Accused called upon him several timss, accompanied by a mate named Peters, and witness fancied that an effort wsb being made by Hertzog to cover the lots of Peters, who was a non-insuier. Ha therefore cautioned Hertzog on this score before the claim was submitted. Tho claim was settled by the payment of £150, for which he produced accused's receipt. On the morning after the fire he examined the premises. It was a large building, about 50ft. long, and the back part had been badly burnt, while the front portion had only been singed. He was convinced that if the £»0 worth of timber had been on the premises during the fire, it would have been there afterwards. He failed to find it. Even accused box of clothes was only ringed. In the claim, £3 was claimed for a pair oF riding boots (produced), and upon b«ing found they looked like a pair that had been discarded. The clothing seemed to be very old Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh: When the proposal was made I examined accused's property. Ho wanted to be insured for £200, and I advised him not to insure for more than £150. If all the goods he then saw were accused's, he had certainly more than £150 worth. The prisoner was it very intelligent man. _ I did not offer Petera a bonus to give evidence against the accused.—Re-examined : Any thing that Petera has done in this case has not been at my instigation. I thought he was hounding the man down out of spite, and I had nothing to do with him.— James Joseph Tuohy, detectivo officer, deposed that on tho morning after the fire accused told him that he had suffered a great loss by the fire, but that hi 3 belong ingß were covered by insurance to the extent of £150. Hia loss, however, would be £100 in excess of that sum. He had first learnt of the fire from the papor. Ac cused left Auckland on the sth of March, having then a luxuriant beard, whiskers, andmoustache. HewasarrestedintheSoutb; and, upon being brought back, was clean shaven.—Carl Peters, at witness's request, laid the information, upon which a war rant was issued for accused's arrest. — Henry Weldon Martin deposed that ho was introduced by his father in • law, Mr Webb, to the accused, some ten month? ago Subsequently he vorked for him as French Polißher. He was last on the premises on the Saturday afternoon previous to the fire, and he was the last to leave. The three kitchen tables mentioned in the proof of loss were not there then, and there were only four wash stands instead of seven as showed on the proof. There were also only four dressing tables, not aeven. There was nothing that could be called a flower stand, nor were there a mirror, 100 table, a hair mattrass, a rug, veneers. Accused had only about £9 or £10 worth of tools. He had about £2 10s worth of cutting and boring took, and if be had been paid £80 for them he bad been paid abrordly in'excess of their value. Instead of having from £7 to £10 worth of German boob, he had not £1 worth. There was not the slightest possible doubt that in bis proof, the accused had greatly exaggerated hia loss.

FIRE IN PARNELL.

A fibe occurred in Parnoll about ten minutes past one o'clock this morning in a flvo-roomed house at the bottom of Ayr-streot, below the Chnrch ef England Grammar School. Tho pro ffli6M had boen unoccupied for nearly a fort night, which renders tho origin of the iiro a mystery. The Parnell Fire Brigade wero quickly in attendance, but tho fire had already obtained fuoi c. hold that all efforts to save tho house proved unavailing. As tho reflection plainly showed that the scene of tho fire was Wond tho boundaries of the city, the Auckland Brigade did not turn out, and very fortunately tho city bolla did not strike up an accompani ment with the bells of Parnell, aa they usually do, or the whole of the city would have been disturbed. Tho Salvage Corps, under Captain F'wd, proceedod to the fire, also Trooper Kelly and Constable Hobßon, but owisg to tho house being empty, their services were not required, we house was the property of a young man named William Hasman Pollman Erikson at present residing at Swanson Station, near Hen flMson's Mill. His stepfather, Mr William John Halverslon, lives in Brighton Road, Parnell. me building was last occupied by a man named Willmm Mills, an engineer employed on the Auckland Railway. He removed to Newmarket on the 27th June, Bince which time the house has remained tenantless. Tho building, which was quite new, was insured in the Standard •fsneo Company for £250. There can bo little doubt but that this is the act of an incenaiary.

At the conference of County Counails held at Wellington yesterday, a resolution was passed to the effect that European ratepayers are suffering considerable in justice tinder the administration of the Crown and Native Lands Rating Act j _ that there are large districts in which all land owned by natives should ™ liable to the Eame responsibilities as those imposed upon land owned by Euro peans ; that the construction of all roads to open up Crown lands bo handed over to county councils, who shall have authority w> settle grades and location of roads subject to the approval of the Govern ment, tbiit roouCiy, If a, Royul Commission is ''pwiiaU-d to inquire iDto local govern- M&ut, the question of tho location and construction of roads to open up Crown «nds be also within the powers of the Com- Buseion; that money for the construction of aU roads to open up particular blocks of wown lands be banded over to County Council,

ELLERSLIE GRAND STAND.

Ar a meeting- of the Auckland Racing Club, tenders were received for the erection of the new Grand Stand at Ellcrslie, as Mr. Granger's plan were submitted. There were alternative tenders for completion on December lath and February loth. The following is the list of tenders for completion on the latter dato:-- A. McKay, £10.S0!); McC'oll. £10.130 ]Ss; ,T. Morris, £11.02.5; J. Connelly, £11., ml 3s Ikl: Wrigley and Handcock, £11,501; J, Heron. .€11.21 J 3s 7(1: J. Ellingham. £12.199; C. ItliodeH, ,«12,0,M195; J. .Tones, .€11,977; It. Kay. £12,108; Kdgerley, £13,637 3s Id. Tho plans were ]>re pared for grand stand to cost £(iOOO, but the lowest tender is nearly double that amount. The question was considered at the meeting yesterday, and eventually the whole matter was referred to a sub-committee to report. It is still the intention of the club to erect tho grand stand on Mr Granger's plans.

FAST VOYAGE BY A SCOW.

What may bo safely set down rs tho fastest voyage ever accomplished by a scow was ac complished by the Ghost on Monday morning last. She left this port in ballast at 5 a.m., bound for Mahurangi, with a strong breeze from S.E. Tho wind gradually increased and curried tho vessel along at a terrible pace until it changed and blew from E.N-K. The Ghost went through Tiritirl passage close-hauled in the worst of the gale, and arrived at her desti nation at S..'!o a.m., just .It hours having been oc cupied on the voyage Tho rate of speed may be estimated, when it is considorcd that, al though she had not. a fair wind for the whole distance, she made tho trip almost aa quick as it could have been accomplished by one of the largo coasting steamers of this port.

CITY NORTH LICENSING COM MITTEE.

The City Xorth Licensing Committee sat yos terday to consider the applications for extra bars at tho Nevada, Waitemata, and United Service Hotels. In the two former cases the committee decided that they had not the. neces sary power except at quarterly or annual meet ings. Mr Abbot s application, which hud boen specially adjourned so that the committee might visit and judge for fhomsolves. was grante;!, It wa3 reported that several publicans wero ignoring the conditions on which their licensea were originally granted, nnd the Chairman stated that the following soction (7fil of the Act, which deals with such cases, should be enforced at tho next quarterly meeting : "It shall be law ful for the Licensing Committee at any quarterly licensing meeting to determine and put an end to any license then current if it still bo proved to their satisfaction that tho licensed houso is conducted in an improper manner, or that tho holder of such license is openly and rcpoatedly intoxicated, or that any conditions upon which the licenso was granted have not beon fulfilled in a satisfactory manner.

WATERLOO CUP MEETING.

Chbistchurch, this day. The Waterloo Cup coursing meeting was continued to-day. The weather is fine.

The attention of stock-owners is directed to tho advertisement in our columns of tho New Zealand Frozen Meat and Storago Company. It will bo eeon that tho Com pany is prepared to receivo sheep or cattle on owners' account for shipment in September next, and in the present in stance no extra charge will bo made. This really means a saving of all cost of agistment for that period, a conces sion that should be of groat use where feod is running Bhort. It is very de sirable that the interests of tho agricultural community generally that tho Freezing Company should be supported in its efforts to relieve the glut hitherto existing at certain seasons in the quantities of stock coming forward, and this can only be done by Btock-owners taking their fair proportion of rißk In the shipping for the Home market, and looking to the increased v<»lue of tho balance remaining for local sales.

Notwithstanding our former exposure of tho irregular practices in connection with a labour agency conducted under tho name of Patterson and Co., victims still send in complaints. Hugh Howie writes:-" See ing an advertisement by the abovo agency in the morning ' Herald' wanting men, I applied for an appointment. On my appli cation in person, first, thoy domanded 2s bd to enter my name and address, then they demanded 10a more for a letter of engage ment. This letter waa given to mo, closed and Eoaled, with an address to an em ployer some distance out of the city. After arriving at my destination, the em ployer informed me that he had five men sent to him in the same way, and that ho had never orderod any, neither did he know anything about it. I was mado not only a fool, but victimised to the extent oi lAj ba, and my expenses there and back, besides my loat day. Suroly there is some remedy by which to prevent people from being thus imposed upon."

To the Editor : Sir,-Before "Fair Play condemned the supposed action of the Arch Hill Road Board re the engaging of an en sineer, he should have found out how things stood. I will answer his questions as far as 1 am acquainted with them:—(l By what right do they spend the ratepayers money?—By power invested in them by 5Te Road Boards Act, 1888. (2) Why do they choose any particular street, viz., Russell-street ?-Because the Government will not carry Commercial Road through, and that they desire the connection to be near to the Kingsland station, as they be lieve it would add to therailway traffic ; also because tho member for Newton sent from Wellington requesting tho information so as to get the' Government to do tho work not, as insinuated by " Fair Play," because one or two members of the Board dwell, or have some particular interest in that par ticular street. Now, sir, there are two mem bers of the Board dwelling in that street, and one of them actually proposed at the mee«ng of tho Board that the Board send information about and recommend that the bridge be made in King-street That fhouldmake "Fair PlaylP open his eyes, and let him see that there are some people about, even in Russell-street who under stand'"fair play," and can board without trying to .norease the value of their property at the expense and to the sacrificed other ratepayers. I will inform "Fair Play" that I, as one of the Board, have been in no way consulted as to the engagement of the engineer or his work, o? have I been asked to consent to or approve of the action of those who did en eace him. At the same time, to show that the Board as a whole have exercised no privilege as to choice of streets for the br dee I will give the resolution arrived at b fern: "lhat this Board fo™rd »J information they can get on both King and Russell-streets, but aakeno recommenda tion as to choice, but desire that the con nection be made somewhere. —1 am. «c- J.
