Witness brother -in - law of the plaintiff— n e ll was heard in support of his conten thathehad the right to, adduce evi 'e in rebuttal. His Honor disallowed the m'bufc took, a note of it. —Peter Ed. i authorised purveyor, was next called ' oDort of plaintiff s case. He stated that ent to Matamata in June, 18S6, for the of making a survey of the special ripment. He camped on the 24th June t ior 5 chains from Panapa's place. ■ . ere no natives there then. The JBo 3 iyero empty and deserted, and ijPM there had been no occupation l|' c ine time past. -It was the same with M nlnces on the estate formerly occu- W{ly Maoris.

When the oii girls brought back Kereama and er natives he had completed his work, Kereamasaid they wouldbringan action t he Supreme Court. Penetito's settle it was ainile and a half or two miles iy in Matamato North. This closed the intiffs evidence on this part of the s —Mr Button intimated that Mr Cooper mid address the Court. His Honor nested that it would be as well frame the- issues. Mr Button then [ the issue would be framed on 15th paragraph of the statement of ence, which was as follows:—" That endantshave been since long before the r 1865, havealways continuously since, re ined in possession and actual occupation he lands the subject of this action, and c always continuously held such posses is of right and adversely to the plaintiff, I are rightfullyentitled to thesaid lands." ne discussions arose between counsel as the framing of the issues. The question s the distinction between the abandon nt of a claim of right and the abandon nii of occupation. Mr Bell contended it continuous occupation was not neces y; and Mr Button contended - that der. the statute it was, and Mr oper, supported- this view by authorities, is Honor said that he had no objection to rite out a judgment for the case to be esented to the Court of Appeal. Mr el then asked whether he should now md with the other portion of the case, it Mr Button objected, and said they ast first have judgment in this matter pon the facts. His Honor then delivered interim finding on the facts : ■I find that in Octobor, 1884, there was i objection made by the Maoris to the lotghing of these enclosures by Mr Firth's eB, O atid°6ri'th3fc objection being made the mowing was desisted ram; that thereafter the "Maoris deserted !§[r settlement in order to go and settle ..at angakaua; that Panapa's settlement is untenanted until the advent of c surveyor in June. 18? C, and at that oePanapa reappeared. Therefore, there is no occupation by the Maoris at .the ne Mr Firth's application under the Land ansfer Act was made and executed. — r Bell said that this finding, which of arse was adverse to him, altered the pect of his ' case. He would therefore oceeel to raise two further grounds of jection to plaintiffs claim, viz., (1) that c protection of the Land Transfer Act"as ring an indefeasible title does not extend a person who brings land under the Act, (1(2) that the Land Transfer Act can't feat the rights of natives to native land. r Button submitted that Mr Bell must Mγ the Court that ho could get behind c title, and that the Land Transfer Act 1 not defeat the rights of natives. —His anor said he had no objection to take the and then a case could be stated r the Court of Appeal. .!' ■ At this stage the Court adjourned until n o'clock this morning.

THIS DAY. On the Court resuming this morning, Mr ill said that after considering the effect of o verdict found the night before, he «st admit thaf it was destructive of c most important part of ; hi? se, and after full consultation Tvilh 6' natives he had determined not proceed any further. The Counsellor c plaintiff on their side foregoing the : liihfpr costs. He therefore consented to tlgement being entered for plaintiff for ssesfeioh , of the land and Is damages, c writ of possession not to be entered for ree months to enable the natives to re ove their crop.?. He said that Mr Firth Jβ present, and he might also men m that he was asked by' the natives appeal to Mr Firth to protect their irial. places from desecration. He ighfc say that he did not claim in. any ay that the natives had any right in these "rial places after the judgment of the tort delivered -yesterday,' but from 'c , evidence given by Mr Firth it Ppeared to him that'his (Mr Firth's) eelings were those of goodwill towards "c native race, and it was those sehnffl that he appealed. —Mr Button fated that the plaintiff had agreed to 3r ego his costs. He would ask His Honor "givejudgment of possession and direct •c Court interpreter, Mr Hammond, to early explain to the natives the: effect of f judgment. -His Honour did so, telling ."" Hammond to explain to the natives that '."icy had not left the land before the ex nation of three months from date,. the ITifc of the Supreme Court would be ? sued, under.which they would be then re "°ved, the judgment of the Court being at they had no right to the land.—Mr ammoncl interpreted this to the natives.— « Krth, with His Honor's permission, * e n said that from the beginning he had ways desired to befriend and act fairly to native race, and he would use his best endeavours to protect their burying places rom desecration, but, inasmuch as these "urial places were included in the special and were therefore on land, contract of which had passed out ot "is hands, he wished it to bo clearly "naerstood that lie could enter into 110 ' obligation, nor make any definite TOtnise. So far as he was personally con *"cd, he would do the best he could, but j> could not undertake to interfere with ,lle rights of other parties. - Mr Button said to cloaily understood that Mr Firth was Memo legal obligation.-Judgment was entered np an d the Court anjournpd, and jnus ended the most important trial that "as ever taken placo in relation to; native "">*» in this district.

THE EARL OF ABERDEEN

The present bearer of this title, Sir John Campbell Hamilton Gordon, accompanied by the Countess of Aberdeen, is expected to arrive^ here by the mail steamer for San Francisco to-morrow, and, as will be seen from report elsewhere, considerable pre parations have been . made for accord ing him a fitting reception. It is gratify ing to find all sections of the community taking parfc in the proceedino-s. , A deputa tion from the meeting held last night waited upon His Worship;, the" Mayor this morn ing to report him. ,to take part in the IT??e^ l r on,' of the Earl and Countess. His V\ orship said it was his intention as Mayor of the City to offer every hospitality to the vicitors, and he would see that they were met on arrival and offered "facilities lor seeing the interesting features of the city, &c. during their brief stay. With regard to the address adopted-by the meet ing last night lie thought lie would scarcely ue justified as Mayor in taking any part in what might be construed ,as savour ing of politics; , but . personally he agreed generally with the expressions of the address, and would .not only sign, it, but as a private citizen would accompany the deputation. It is the intention to meet the mail steamer on arrival, when a small deputation will wait on His Lordship.and ask him to fix an hour for receiving the ad dress.

As so much intcrost has been aroused in this distinguished visitor a few words as to his lineage may be welcome. The family date back to the line of the Nor man Conquest and is of common origin with that of the Marquis of Huntley. It has produced many men of outstanding ability, and noble daring, including two admirals, two generals, (Sir Alex. Gordon and Cosmo Gordon); one lieut-col. (Sir Alex Gordon, K.C.8.,wh0 was equerry to the Puke of Wellington was killed at the battle of Waterloo), besides' Sir Arthur Gordon well-known here as a Colonial Governor, who is undo to tho present Earl. The celebrated poet, George Gordon Lord Byron, is also related to the Earl of Aberdeen by the marriage of Catherine Gordon with Captain Byron. Tho present Earl of Aberdeen is the seventh of the lino and succeded his brother in 1870. He was born in 1847, and is there fore now 40 years of age. His other titles are—Viscount Formartinc, Lord Haddo, Methlic, Larvis and Nellie in the peerage of Scotland, Viscount Gordon of Aberdeen in the peerage of the United Kingdom, and a Baronet of Nova Scotia. There is some romance in tho manner in which he came into the title and estates. He was the third and youngest son of the fifth earl, and when George, the sixth earl, succeeded to ' the title in 1864, ■• there appeared no prospect of the present earl so soon taking, his place. Four years afterwards, however, the" second brother, James Henry, accidentally shot himself while cleaning a gun; two years later the Earl, who was of a wild and adventur ous disposition, and had taken passage as a common sailor, was drowned on the voyege between Boston and Melbourne, and the third son (the present Earl) suc ceeded him. Lord Aberdeen was married in

1877 to Isabel Maria, daughter of Sir Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, Bart., M.P., and has a son and ; heir (George,- Lord Haddo). The.- earl is noted for his philanthropic disposition, and while he was Lord - Lieutenant of Ireland he won goMen opinions as much by his good deeds as by his sympathy with the national aspirations of the people. These qualities he inherits in some degree from his father, who as Lord Haddo, was a prominent "evan gelical" philanthropist. In short,' the noblo Earl, who is expected to arrive to-morrow is a worthy representative of "our old nobility," with an escutcheon unstained by follies or crimes, but mai;kcd by outstanding ability and services for the good of mahkind..--,, ;■ ' ■"-

LATEST SPORTING.

The programme for the Auckland Racing Club Winter Meeting appears on the Bth page of to-night's issue.' Nominations for the two principal events, Great Northern Steeplechase and Hurdles, close on Friday next. There is some talk of the Racing Club holding an additional meet ing on Jubilee Day. The decision of Mr Carew,. R.M., of Dunedin, in the totalisator case will cause quite a flutter of excitement amongst racing men throughout the colony. If Mr Carcw's reading of the \i\\v is correct, it will practically ' , render the totalisator unworkable until an amendment is made in the Gaming and Lotteries Act to meet the, case. Under the exist ing law, as interpreted by Mr Carew, it will be competent for a person to back' a horse on the totalisator for say £40 or £50. If the horse backed does not win, the backer : may get his money returned provided he makes a demand in writing to that effect to the runner of the totalisator before the stakes have been paid out. As plenty of people will bo found unscrupulous enough to take advantage of, this legal quibble, ib is questionable*, if the racing clubs "or private individuals will have the temerity to run a totalisator until Mr Carew's decision has been reversed, by a court of higher jurisdiction, or until an alteration has been made in the law. At the annual meeting of the Plumpton Coursing Company, held last night at the Queen's Ferry Hotel,- <the balance-sheet was submitted, which showed that the re ceipts were £452 18s 4d. There were however, outstanding liabilities amounting to £532 3s 4d. -The report spoke very hope fully of the future prospects of the Com pany. Messrs McCabe.Percival, Macready, Dickey and Barker were elected directors, and Messrs Alexander and W. A. Fenton were appointed auditors. It was announced that the usual coursing meeting would be held on May 24th,and project was mooted for a Jubilee meeting on June 22nd when a Jubilee Cup would be given. . The latter project was warmly taken.up.

ARTILLERY VOLUNTEER PRO MOTIONS.

The latest "Gazette" from Wellington cointains a notification of the promotion of Captain Hammerslcy, of Timaru, to a majority in the New Zealand Regiment of Artillery Volunteers. Major Hammersley is generally looked upon as a very capable officer and deserving promotion, but' why he should be promoted over the head of Cap tain Payne of the A. Battery, who was his senior, and- equally deserving of advancement, requires explanation: The promotion of Captain Payne has been anxiously expocteu by Auckland volunteers in general for some time past, and unless the matter is at once remedied by the authorities anti-dating and gazetting Cap tain Payne's'promotion, itisfearred there wil be more volunteer troubles to chronicle

SUEZ MAIL NEWS.

(By Cable from Albany.) . ' - Albany, this day. Aerived yesterday, s.s. .Surat, with tho English mails to ISth March, and the fol lowing passengers for New Zealand :—Mrs Calthbrp and Mr Beckin. . The Attempt to Rill the Czar. London, March IS i political events during the past week ha'vo been completely .thrown into tho shade by a serious attempt to assassinate the Czar on Sunday last., The news was first learned from a brief cipher des patch, and all sorts of rumours were current until Wednesday, when the full report was first received by mail, all telegrams having" been stopped by the authorities at St. Petersburg immediately after" the attempt. Sunday being the anniversary of tho late Czar's murder, the Czar and court attended the visual requiem mass in the Cathedral of St. Paul, where the Russian sovereigns lie buried. About two o'clock the' Emperor was expected to pass along the NovsUi Prospect, when general consternation was excited by the police pouncing on several persons, whom they evidently had been follow ing, and taking them to the police headquarters. It appears the plot was kept absolutely secret, the police having no idea of its existence. On Friday, how ever, the detectives noticed several sus picious persons loafing about tho Nevslti Prospect, near tho Antikoff Palace, and followed them to a teahouse, where they carefully deposited three apparently precious packages-one a large box, another a bag, a third Ji parcel. The movements of these people were reported to the authorities, and orders were given to keep an eye upon them. On Sunday they were followed from their entering across the Nevski Prospect, when they were arrested, 'just before the Czar and Czare witch were about to leave tho palace. Tho would-be assassins had made every preparation for escape, and if they had not been arrested in time the Czar and Czarewitch would almost certainly have met a terrible death, for the objects tho mis creants were so carefully carrying were dynamite bombs, and a book, which proved to be a hollow case containing a bottle of dynamite surrounded by poisoned bullets filled with arsenic. The Czar's horses were at once stopped, and his Ma jesty drove by another routo to tho railway station, whence he left for Gat schina. The prisoners arc all young men, five of them being expelled university students. On tho night following the at tempt a large number of arrests were made in various parts of the capital, including twenty females. Tho attempt is believed to havo been the work of the extreme Nihilist section, and is regarded as being proof that the Nihilists are again becoming active.

Educational Retrenchment.

Nothing is more unquestionably true than the statement so often made by public men that people who cry out loudly for'retrench. ment do not really want it. In the ab stract, it is a popular cry, but when it comes to be applied, the persons affected cry. out and succeed in working up a certain amount of sympathy. An example of this kind has occurred in the case of the Board of Education. Every man who considers the subject must admit that our education system is in danger of breaking down from its costliness, yet when the Board resolve: to cut off an expen diture which they never had .any. right to, incur, there is an outcry. Our •morning contemporary publishes a leading article ii column long in denunciation of the .Auckland Board, because they yesterday refused, \ and properly re fused, to pay half University fees for pupil teachers who wish to continue their studies up to the degree. The Training College performs all the work necessary to qualify public school teachers, and if any of them wish to go further, they should bear the cost themselves. The allowances to pupil teachers, when compared with other branches of female employment, are very liberal. The Board must cut down their expenditure, not in this item only, but in a great many others. The change made in the salaries of In spectors is a readjustment which,we under stand, was determined upon simply because the two Inspectors who arc now inspecting the city schools were receiving less pay than some of the head masters, and below the rate current in the South. The salary paid to the Chief Inspector in Wel lington, Hawkcs' Bay, and North Canter bury, is£soo a year; in Otago, £550. There vision of the salaries of the Auckland In spectors approximates them to those cur rent in the.South, ,'j ,'....'

POLITICAL NEWS.

Air Barron Dcnonunces the Go vernment- HE CHARGES THEM WITH SELLING THEIR FAVOURS. ihJXEDiN, this day. The Protectionist party made a de monstration at Mr Barron'B meet ing on Tuesday night, and though ho was subjected to a good deal of bickering, lie apphrently carried the meet ing entirely with him. He was questioned about the unemployed and asked if he would keep the Government to their promise re putting on the unemployed, at St. Clair seawall. He said he was sorry the question luid been put, but as it had been, lie would say he thought there never was an Executive who bargained and trafficked more with their favours than the present one. A voice: That is a reflection on the Premier. Mr Barron said it was his opinion there never been a Government that sold its favours more unblushingly than the present Government. There had never been one that trafficked more in votes and he hoped never to have another that would do so. To the motion of confidence was added thefollowing: This meeting is of opinion that the exces sive public .expenditure should be reduced, and trusts that steps will be taken to bring about the same. :

SUNDAY TEAMS.

The following petition against the running of tram-cars on Sunday will be placed for signature at all the churches to-morrow. The City Council meet to consider the subr ject next Thursday. "To His' Worship tho Mayor and Coun cillors of the city of Auckland, ',' Gentlemen, — We, the undersigned citizens of Auckland, beg to approach .your honourable Council with the ob ject of petitioning against the grant ing of permission to the Auckland Tramway Company for tho running of tramcars. on Sundays. Referring to the reasons given by this Company for the concession sought, we, beg to point-out: (1) That the church-going people of Auckland do not suffer any incon venience in travelling to their respective churches, and there does not, in the opinion of your petitioners, exist any necessity for the proposed innovation. (2) With re gard to the record reason given by the Tram Company,, your petitioners venture to suggest that it is the duty of the Com pany to pi'ovide accommodation for the travelling public and to prevent the over-crowding of the cars independent of the introduction of Sunday traffic, for which permission is now sought. (3) With respect to the guarantee that the drivers and con ductors employed by the said Company, if engaged to work on Sundays, would have a corresponding period of time allowed to them during the week, your petitioners while not undervaluing such a provision, regard the rnnning of cars on Sunday as the thin end of the wedge that would lead, to further violation of the Lord's Day, and tend to the deprivation of that entire i rest which the working men of this city at present enjoy. (4) Your petitioners, in noticing the statement made by the Tramway Company that in other towns of the colony the cars are run, would express their warm thankt to your honour able Council that such a practice has not been allowed to obtain here, and that nnder your control this city enjoys such an excellent reputation for its order and quietness on the day of rest. And although it would no doubt, as implied in the said Company's request, add consider ably to the Company's revenue. Your petitioners earnestly trust that your honour able Council will not accede to the Com pany's request, and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray."
