Tho plaintiff thcrcforo sued to recover £10 a_ damages.

Death of the Earl of Iddesleigh.

The death of the first Iddesleigh, in a shockingly sudden manner, as reported in our cable news to-day, will come as a pain ful surprise to English people all over the world. Tho deceased nobleman.'Jwho will be better known as Sir Stafford Northcote, was a leading member of the Conservative party in England, having been identified with it since 1855, when he first entered the Houso of Commons. His abili ties wore speedily recognised, and in tho course of five years ho was ap pointed Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and a short timo after he was chosen as President of the Board of Trade and sworn in as a member of the Privy Council. For two years ho filled the post of Secretary of Stato for India, and in tho Disraoll Ministry of 1574 he waa nominated Chancellor of the Exchequer, and after his chief's elevation to the peerago became leader of the Houso of Commons. Sir Stafford Northcotc's connection with politics has continued very close during the whole of the thirty-two years that ho sat in Parliament, and appropriately enough his life has suddenly closed while consulting with the -Premier on the existing political crisis. He was raised to the Peerage in 1555, under tho title of Earl Iddesleigh". Ho has died at the age of 69 years, having been born in ISIS. :

CITY WATER SUPPLY.

His Worship the Mayor (Mr Devore) ac companied by Crs. Crowther, Cooper and rhillipps, paid a visit of inspection yestorday afternoon to the Western Springs, to ascer tain if the prevailing drought had exer. ciscd any appreciable effect upon the city water supply. It is gratifying to know that their fears on this head wero completely dispelled. They found that the pumps which had been working continu ously for 57 hours from Sunday, in order to fill tbe Ponsonby reservoir (which has a capacity of about three million gallons), had stopped at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and that in a couple of hours thereafter, the water had risen an inch and a half at the ponds, whilo at tho time of their visit there was an actual over flow of about ten gallons per minute at the board. Besides thia, the water in the man-hole at the mouth of the main spring was found to bo as clear as crystal, and almost as cold as ice. From the Engineer (Mr Gibson) it was ascertained that so constant is the sopply that the effect of 57 hours' continuous pumping had only been to reduce the level of the water by 4 inches, which in 9 hours after the cessation of the pumping it rose 1_ inches, or at the rate of 4 inches for 24 hours. A kind of leak was discovered, and it was estimated that the overflow from it was equal to the supply of the Kyber Pass reservoir. The party also visited Edg___. combe's creek, and found there as well a capital flow of spring water, which, in case of necessity, can be utilised at an outlay of about £1,000. These facts reassured the Mayor and Councillors as to the complete adequacy of the city water supply, and they returned to town well pleased with the results of their visit. We subjoin a com parative tablo showing the consumption of water from tho Springs during the past four months :—

The largest consumption during last summer was in March, when 43j millions of gallons were pumped. In January last the quantity supplied to the city was almost 43 millions.

Sir George Grey's Library.

Professou and Mrs Aldis and their assis tants have carried on with such persever ance and expedition their taak of unpacking and provisionally arranging the works of Sir George Grey's splendid library that it is now expected they will have completed their labours by the begin ning of March—in ample time for the formal opening of the new Free Library building. To-day the rare MSS. of the collection wero on private view, and the representatives of the preas were privileged to inspect them.

An old woman named Catherine Jones was brought up from Tauranga to-day en route for Mount Eien Gaol. She stands committed to take her trial at tbo next criminal sessions of the Supreme Court on the charge of unlawfully wounding ber husband.

SENSATIONAL ESCAPE.

A Man Jumps ofl. a Ferryboat,

Just as wo go to press we receive in timation of a sensational occurrence at the North Shore. A bailiff of the Keeident Magistrate's Court named Walsh, who went over to the North Shore to arrest a jockey, a horso trainer, named Laing, for a debt claim brought by one Hayes, had boarded the Bteamer with his quarry in charge, when the latter suddenly sprang into the water as the steamer was about to cast oft. Nothing daunted, the bailiff got down on the stringers of the wharf, and as the escapee waa glad to swim there for safety, soon recaptured him, Tho immersion damped the jock's ardour, and the occurrence created great excite ment at the Shoie.

Mr Williamson ex plained that it was no fault of Detective Hughes, his not being present to give evi dence, as he had been intructed that the case would not be called on so aoon. The police had always shown an active zeal in attend ing to the business of the Court, and it was a matter of congratulation that similar cases did not more often happen, when tbe great number of witnesses connected with the cases before tho Court came into con sideration.
