ANOTHER EVICTION SENSATION.

Auckland Bailiffs Assaulted.

Two bailiffs who went from Auckland to One^ unSa *^c other day, to take possession J of certain premises on of the owner, had, it is reported, rather an exciting experience. Theyat first obtained possession of the1 place, and seized a horse and ex ..press i| but the tables were soon turned, and it is said the horse and trap were rescued from the officers of the law. The bailiffs remained in possession in the bouse after thSlois'of the waggon and horse, but its is reportML that they were very roughly is ejected frbm the premises in the darkness of the night by three men. i One of the bailiffs declares, that aj^ttempt was made to tie him and to put hnPaown a well when in that helpless state, end finally that they were put in such bodily fear between1 threats andviolence that the fort had to be surrendered as a matter of discretion, and to save bloodshed. How the matter will terminate remains to be seen. Possibly it may assume the same importance as a recent case did at Papakura.

SHIPPING 40 TONS TO FRIEBURG.

The s.s. Kotuku left here yesterday afternoon for Auckland, having on board about 40 tons of ore, which is said to be worth over £25 per ton, and this represents a total value of at lease £1,000. These figures are only approximate, bub they are well under the mark, for it is expected that the ore will realise a much higher figure. "With exception of a few tons, this stuff is all going to Frieburg, and it is the product of two different mines situated about 15 miles apart, and on the same belt of auriferous country Of this lot 11 ton? is from the prospectors miiie Maritoto and the re mainder is from tho Kenilworth 'mine K'arangahake. Messrs Wick, U. R. Geliion and Phillip and Son are the shippers, and more will follow if this venture proves suc cessful. A Good Kesult. Farmer and party, tributers in the Smile of Fortune mine, Owharoa, claimed up yesterday for return of 100 ounces retorted gold being the product of 45 tons of general dirt, and this result will pay the tributers handsomely.
