ALLEGED BRUTAL ASSAULT.

Three Men of Colour in Trouble

At the Police this morning, before Messrs T. Thompson and 11. G. Wade, Justices, three men of colour, viz., Charlie (a Fijian), Bob (a New Caledonian), and Hama Hama (a Maori) wero charged with violently assaulting Ernest. A. Frost by kicking him on the head and body at Lucas's Creek, thereby doing grievous bodily harm. Sergeant Pratt prosecuted, and Mr Dufaur appeared for the prisoner Hunm llama. Ernest Arthur Frost, a settlor residing at Ararimu North, deposed that on June 4th he was at Lucas's Creek, and was leaving , between 8 «ntl 9 for home. W. Wilson, J. Inglis uildD. Lockhcad wero in his company. Ho saw the pri soners Hama Hama and Charlie. Hama Hama accused witness of humbugging him over a transaction in gum, but as witness did not know what ho meant he laughed at him. Subsequently Hama Hama invited him to come and have a drink. Charlie and the European went into the passage of the hotel. He then ob served Bob. standing in front of the bar. Six liquors Were supplied to the six persons in the passage, and when Mrs Evans, the landlady, asked who was going to pay for the liquors, witness said that Hama Hama would. The Maori, however, refused to pay for all the drinks, saying that ho had only invited witness in, and not the others. Witness thon paid for the whole six drinks, at the same time telling Hama Hama that he was very mean. Wit ness did not remember any more until he was lying in the middle of the road. Hβ was struck a blow behind the ear, and remembered nothing until he tried to get on his feet on the road. While on the road he was kicked and beaten with his owp riding whip. This rendered him sense loss. Ho was carried into the hotel, and after his head had been put under a tap, he was carried to bed, where he recovered his senses. He was cut on the crown of the head and under the eye with a boot kick, and therewere bruises over his body of kicks and blows of the whip. His left anklo was dis abled by a kick,and he could" hardly put his foot to the ground. He sufFered-great pain from these injuries, and was unable to go home that night, and was Ibid tip for three weeks from his injuries. By Mr Dufaur : Witness had had nothing to drink all day except one glass of whisky. Hama Hama asked the others, as well as himself, to tako a drink. There were 12 or 14 Maoris at the hotel at the time of the assault. By the Bench : When Hama Hama accused witness of humbugging him about gum he was mistaking him for his brother. — Joseph Inglis gave corroborative evidence. Hama Hama struck Frost under the ear, and then,with the assistance of Charlie, dragged him outside,where they were joined by Bob, and all three prisoners took part in the as sault.

After Inglis had given his evidence, the prisoners, Bob and Charles, said, in reply to the Bench, that they did not clearly under stand the evidence (although they had both previously stated that they knew English). Under the circumstances, the Bench de cided to adjourn the case until to-morrow, in order that interpreter's might be ob tained.

Captain Edwin advises there is every indication of a heavy gale between N.E. and N. and W. during the next 12 hour. , ;, and heavy rain fall. The glass will further fall.

Last night, at about 1.30, a servant-girl in the employ of Mrs Vare, Hobson streefc, while in an out-house, was alarmed by hearing the report of a gun or other firearm close to her. She rushed into the house and stabed the occur rence and soon there were several detectives and policemen on the ground, bub could discover no indication of a shot having been fired.

The annual meeting of Suburban Newmarket Hall and Literary Institute was held last evening. Tlie attendance was small. The Secretary read the report and balance-sheet, the latter showing a credit of L 63 13s, 4 which was adopted. Messrs Bishop, Morgan, Taifc, Holmes and W. Dennison were elected members of the Committee. At a meeting of the Committee held immediately after, Mr James Taifc was elected Chairman, Mr George Bishop Trea surer, and Mr William Dennison, Secre tary.

The sen-ice of song " Victoria and Her Reign " was performed at the Choral Hall last evening by the choir of the Auckland Sunday School Union under the able con ductorship of Mr R. Tudehope. Mr Hooton acted as organist, while the Rev. A. J. Smith gave' the connective readings. Amongst the vocalists were Misses Warren, Clements, and Petty, Messrs Turley and Young. Mr F. Battley occupied the chair,

ELECTION NOTES.

E«3<cn au«l Waitemata.

It .is .said that the action of the Commis sioners in making the railway line the boun dary between these districts lias given every land-owner for twenty .miles through whose property the line runs a vote on either side of the lino and in both of these electorates. The New BoHxidaries. The inhabitants of that portion of the Borough of Newmarket now transferred to the Electoral District of Manukau are per fectly indignant. They consider themselves disfranchised. The Commissioners could not have found a more compact district than the Boroughs of Parnell and Manukau, and why they decided otherwise is beyond com prehension. Mr Hobbs points out that the reported inclusion of Okaihau in Mlirsden. electorate must be an error, as Okaihau is in the centre of Bay of Islands County, all of which county forms a part of the Bay of Islands constituency. The mistake is possibly a telegraphic one.

HOSPITAL AND CHARITABLE AID BOARD.

The usual meeting of the above Board was held at the new promises in High-street yesterday afternoon. Present: Messrs Waddel (in the chair), Isaacs, Mays, Goldie, Crowther, Udy, Lamb, Suiter, Ivkld and Wilson. Drs. llainus and MaoMulien wore also present.

The. Hoshtal Sukokox. —Mr Mays moved, "That the appointment of a house surgeon be deferral until the lirst meeting of the Board, in September next."— A discussion ensued as to whether the Bur geon should live outside the Hospital or not.—Dr. MaeMullcndid notunduiritandtho scope of tlio motion.—Mi' Goldio thought that Ml , Mays had better explain afc this point of the proceeding's. The/last two house surgeons had really only carriod out the instructions of the medical staff. —Mr Mays explained that at the commencement of next year the burgeon shuuid take sole chargeof thcliospital, and have an assistant, as there is at pi'eaent, Jlc believed the system at present in vogue was a bad one, although well carried out. Misadventure might and had occurred, but he thought this could be donu away witlli it Was one of the grouted mistakes to think that institutions that worked well at homo must necessarily work well litre. The in stitution was the best in the colotiy, but he considered it lacked something, when they did not always medical man upon the spot. AVo wan ;ed a medical man who not only would look iiftct the patients' interests, but also to the economical work ing of the Hospital. There were many things that a man living upon the pro mises could cut down and look after, i'lio present system tieonied to be that the medi ottl stuff way responsible for the patients' recovery, but ho thought the patients would bo better cared for by a House Sur geon as he proposed. He would, however, give every faoility to the medical men of Auckland to attend operations, but the responsibility would rest witli the House ISurgeon. . The fault was with the system rather than those at present carrying it out. —Dr. Haiues answered that in a well con ducted hospital in England, two respon sible surgeons wero appointed; These wore assisted by the senior students of medical schools. Ho hud never heard of any town of the size of Auckland which hud a system in vogue similar to that pro posed by Mr Goldie. It was not a good thing lor one man to have chargo of an institution like this. Tlio pre sent surgeon was just such a man as lie would propose as a House Surgeon.— Mi , Wilson said that at Napior the Hj'stom as proposed by Mr Goldie was carried out with great satisfaction to all parties'. The medical staff only visited the hospital to pick up information they could nob get in their private practice. - Dr. Haincs thought that when Napier was the size of Auckland, a change would be made—Mr Suiter thought that two House Surgeons should be appointed, one getting L4OO, the other LIOO per year. The Medical Stall-were not always avail able, nor were they able to do justice to the patients in the time he gave to the Hos pital.—Dr. McMullan wished to correct the last speaker, as tlio Visiting Stall' spent at least three-quarters of an hour at the Hos pital.—Mr Lamb supported the motion of Mr Mays, with the salaries proposed by Mr Suiter.—Mr Isaacs would call the attention of the Board to the fact that they owed LB,o'7y, and that they were working- very well now, and he did not see a reason for a change.—Mr Waddel was against the motion as it at present Crowther considered that Dr. Haines had no right to speak as ho did.— Mr Kidd had been prepared to voce in favour of the motion, but he had heard no fresh arguments in favour of a new system. There was nothing against the working of the present system. In Dr. Bond's time he was the aristocrat of the Hospital. The staff had no more power thon than it would have under the new system. He believed that the motion would bo carried, but"he be lieved the new system would be found to be more full of faults than the present. How could the Board tell if the man whom they proposed to make supreme at the Hospital was doing his duty. Mr Mays briefly replied,\vhcn Mr Waddel spoke a few words as to the rapid discharge of patients since the erection of the new wards;— The motion was then carried ; Messrs May, Goldie, Wilson, Crowther, Lamb, Udy and Suiter voting for, and Messrs Waddel, Kidd, and Isaacs against it. Thk Jubilee Relief Fund.—A deputa tion consisting of Messrs F. VV. Boytiton, D. Mo'Pherson, and Thomas waited upon vihe Board with reference to a Jubilee Re lief Fund. Mr Boyriton showed its object to be the assisting of families with sufficient funds as would enable them to become vil lage settlers. Mr, AlgPherson, city missionary, also addressed the Board. — After some discussion the Chairman pointed out that even were the Board' desirous of assisting the fund,. they could not do so at present. The deputation then withdrew; Hospital Alterations.—The ..report of 11. G. Wade re, hospital alterations was re ferred to the House Committee.

Small Pox Hospital. - Resolved to offer the City Council LIOO for small pox hospital, which the Board wished to remove to a more suitable site.

A number of applications were dealt with. Messrs Waddel, Isaacs, Udy, Mays and Crowlher were appointed to inquire into the office work, which pressed at present too heavily upon Messrs Garland and Wick ham. Mr Garland (Secretary) showed that the Board's overdraft to date amounted, to L 931 15s 9d.

Mr Walter Martin, assistant clerk of the R.M. Court, is under orders for Jnvercargill, having been promoted to the clerkship of the Court there.

A Band of Hope entertainment was held in the Waterview Primitive Methodist Chapel. The programme comprised songs, recitations, and a dialogue " The Editor's Troubles," by Messrs J. Walker and R. Walker. The Misses White and a gen tleman friend contributed a very effective instrumental trio, along with Mr White, they also gave a vocal quartette.

Be the fire at the Queen's Head Hotel, Mr Puroell informs us that the only furniture insured was the one portion taken over with the house, any additions not being covered by the ri>k. In addition he loses his own and his wife's wearing apparel, and his wife's wedding presents. The extra furniture he valued at £100, and the wed ding presents at £00, i

Against- this expenditure and .its attendant evils, you. are all aware that I have never ceased to fight, j On all other points mypolitical opinions are too well known to need recapitula tion. Whether I have in any way been unfaith ful to them or to your interests, it will be, gentlemen, for you now to say. Yours faithfully, F. J. MOSS. mO.THE ELECTORS OF PONSONBY.
