A SEVERE ALTERNATIVE.

Sentence of Justices Reviewed

The decision given at the Police Court yesterday by Messrs King and Lewis in ordering a working man named Max well to go to prison for fourteen days as the alternative for a five - shilling fine for -a straying cow was brought before Mr H. G. Seth Smith, Resident Magistrate, by Mr Brassey to-day. Mr Brassey rose at the conclusion of the ordinary business, and said he wished to mention to His Worship a case of cattle trespass yesterday. The defendant in the matter, who was now before the Court, was fined ss, and the alternative ordered was fourteen days' imprisonment with hard labour.

His Worship inquired the name of the defendant.

Mr Brassey : Maxwell. His Worship—And what were the costs ? Mr Brassey said the fine and costs to gether amounted to 28s, and he argued that the section of the Act dealing with this matter provided that where the fine did not exceed 10s the alternative could not ex ceed seven days. His Worship suggested that the meaning of the section was that the fine and costs should be put together, and recovered in the same way. Mr Brassey replied that if they put the fine and costs^together the alternative would be one month's imprisonment, instead of foutteen days. The sum of money judged to be paid by conviction was, however, ss. His Worship referred to section 88, where all the costs were recoverable in the same manner and under the same warrants as the fine.

Mr Brassey held that Section 96 specified that the imprisonment should be the alter native for the amount of che fine only, and that it was beyond the power of the jus tices to order a greater alternative than seven days for the amount.

His Worship said that in this matter he could not do more than express an opinion. He could not interfere with the' order of the justices. Mr Brassey said the alternative ordered was excessive and absurd when the nature of the offence was considered.

His Worship: However, I cannot inter fere in any way, whatever my opinion re specting the decision may be. Mr Brassey then urged that some time should be given to his client to raise the money. He was anxious to pay it, but he had been out of work for some time and was in poor circumstances. His Worship : 'Who were the justices who ordered the alternative?

Mr Brassey: Messrs J. P. King and Lewis. The defendant was ordered to pay the money summarily, and 24 hours was then allowed.

His Worship suggested to Mr Brassey that it would be better to see Messrs King and Lewis on the matter. He could hardly alter the order.

Mr Brassey thought.His Worship might express an opinion. His Worship said he did not know any thing about the facts of the case, and there fore he was unable to say whether the justices had exceeded their powers. It ap peared to him that they must have had reason for such an alternative.

A meeting of the creditors in the estate of R. E. Luckie was held in the Official Assignee's office this morning. Nine credi tors were represented, and the debtor and her solicitor attended. Mrs Luckie informed the meetingthatnogoodshad been sold since the death of her husband, the holder of the bill of sale having cleared out all. The Oflicial Assignee has called upon her to render an account of it. Mrs Luckie was directed to produce letters setting forth that she had expectation of money from England and tint none would be forthcoming now. There is some doubt entertained as .to the validity ,of the bill of sale over the stock of her late husband, and it will be questioned. The following resolution was passed, " That the cow. of Mr Lawry be returned to him, he not having received any money and having given three tons of mangel wurzel as well, for which he has not charged.

THE FATAL FIRE AT SWANSON.

At three o'clock yesterday afternoon an inquest was held ab Sinclair's store, Swan eon, upon the bodies of Ada Isabella Clark, aged 7, and Edith Bentley, aged 114 years, who were burned to death in a whare ab Swanson about midnight last Saturday. Mr Albert Beetham officiated as coroner, Mr George Nicholas being chosen foreman of the jury. Detective Walker conducted the examination ol the witnesses. Stephen Henry Clark, gumdigger, Swan son, deposed that on the night of the 17th, between 11 and 12 o'clock, he was awakened by the cries of the men in the adjacent whare. Upon turning out, he found it on fire. When ho opened the door his own house took fire. He awoke the two de ceased, and took his wife and baby outside. When he tried to re-enter the flames pre vented him. He went to the back of the whare, and called to them to come to the window. He saw Edith with a blanket on her head. Witness tore out the calico and tried to roach her, but she fell back, and he failed to grasp her. That was the last he saw of either of them until the bodies were recovered. Edith Bentley was his wife's sister. The whares were builb of raupo a.nd rushes. There was only 6 feet between the two whares. The lire originated in the other whare. In two minutes the whole whare was destroyed.

Arthur Atkin, gum digger and seaman, was living in the other whare. He was going to bed about 11 p.m., when his mate, George Jamison, came ond said the place was on lire in the roof. Ho was then trying to put it out. Witness got a billy of water and threw it on the fire. In a few seconds the whare was in flames, and witness called his mates, Jamison and Morrison, to come out. The former rushed past and called Clark. Wit ness saw Clark and his wife come out. He then went to get his own blankets, thinking that the children were also safe. Prior to the lire Morrison was in bed. A lighted candle was resting on one of the slots of the door The roof was about 18 inches above the candle. The wind was making the light flicker. The fire was just above the candle.

George Jamison deposed to seeing the fire first. He tried to put it out. There was a calico lining under the roof, from which the candle was about a foot away. The wind sometimes caused the calico to " sag" down, and no doubt that was how the lire originated. Witness did not see the two girls. Ho was trying to get his things out. If he had known that the children were not saved he could have got them out.

Mrs Annie Maud Clark deposed that if the children had been quite awake fchey had ample time to get out. They were in their night clothes, and saved nothing; Detective Walker also gave evidence as to the relative position of the whares. The jury after consideration returned the following verdict: "Thatthedeathsoccurred by fire, and that the said fire was acciden tal; also that the jury wish to add that they consider that the two witnesses ex amined—Atkin and JamUi>ft—are deserv ing of censure for the apathy shown during the fire."

Mr Clark's case is exceptionally hard. His wife has been an invalid for some time owing to paralysis, and it was only oxring to her husband's exertions that herself and the baby were saved. Unfortunately, their little all was consumed in the whare. They only escaped in their night-clothes, and lost what little money they had, as well as £9 worth of gum whicli was stored in the whare.

Any parcels of clothing or other contri butions left at the Stak Office will be thankfully received and forwarded to the unfortunate family.

DARING ROBBERY.

Two Arrests on Suspicion.

The interesting youth who some time ago did the sights of Auckland under the pre tence that he was a representative of the " New York Herald" is asrain in trouble. He was brought down from Whangarei last eveningj where he had been committed for trial under the name of Arthur Billings alias Morton, with half - a - dozen other aliases, on a charge of forgery. He had a; companion in misfortune named Charles Roberts, and these two are now in custody on the further charge of stealing a box of boots containing 23 pairs, value £8, the property of William Watte, a Queen-street dealer. The facts of the case are of a very interest ing character. Roberts was employed as shopman by Watts, and it is alleged that while the manager was away at tea one evening recently Morton brought an express to the door of the shop and took away the trunk of boots in question. The boots were subse quently found in a room at the Waitemata Hotel, which Morton had engaged with the explanation that he was going to the Thames. Two trunks filled with rubbish were sent to the Thames by the .accused on the Enterprise, but the object is not very clear unless it was with the intention of a blinding the police or hotel keepers. A pair of boots were missed from the shop, and Mr Shadgett, the manager, meeting Roberts in the street asked him to come and show where they were, but he did not do so, and strangely enough the trunk and its contents were never missed. .It was at this time thnp Detective Herbert, in the prosecution of some inquiries respecting Billings, or Mor ton, discovered that he had been staying'£t the'Waitemata Hotel, and opening his room,,found Iphe trunk and boots them identification speedily followed, and the prisoners having both left town, war rants and descriptions were duly issued. They were arrested at Whangarei, whither they had mado their way over-land. When Billings was arrested, there was found in his possession an interesting letter, com mencing " Dear Charles," and signed "Arthur." It was addressed ready for posting.. The letter informs the person to whom it is addressed: "Here we are in this forsaken town, dead and busted, but we have always managed to have plenty of tucker and cigarettes." The writer then asks how things are in Auckland, and if it would bo safe for him to show up there. Of course, he says, Charlie would be "snapped," but he is auxious to know if "they' have smelt "his" connection with the affair. He asks his friend to wire to him at Russell, and says if tlio telegram says—lf wife and child are well he will come back' and if wife is bad he will come back. The letter then proceeds to make other disclosures about the theft. We may add that Mr Watts estimates that he has been robbed of goods altogether to the value of £100.—The two prisoners have been brought before the Resident Magistrate and remanded till Friday.

A PECULIAR CASE.

(BY TELEGKAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. A young woman named Lizzie Brady, alias Holland, said to belong to Auckland, was charged at the Magistrate's Court to day with the larceny of a watch which had been left with Thomas Brans grove, with whom she lived. The prose cution was conducted privately by Mr Shaw, whose son owns the watch. Sub-Inspector Brown interrupted, however, and described the ease as a very hard one. The girl he said came from Auckland with Bransgrove, paying his passage down, and since arrival in Wellington she lias been so badly illtreated that she had had to leave him. The watch had been repaired at her expense, and she was merely holding it until her outlay was recouped. The case awakened the coiiimiseration of the magistrate, who asked Mr Skerretfc to watch the case on behalf of the accused. At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution, accused was remanded until Friday.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The ordinary meeting was proceeding when we went to press. Present: Messrs W. R. Waddell (presiding), La Roche, M. Nicholl, T. Henderson, Devore, Phillips, Nathan. Admikalty. —A letter from the Admiralty dated July 18th, 1887, conveyed thanks for information supplied re Calliope dock and for intimation that H.M. ships will be docked free of charge, etc. Cement.—J. Wilson and Co. wrote that the Engineer's report on cement tested durino" the construction of Kangitoto beacon was unsatisfactory, because no mention was made of the examples sifted and Bolg.aiu cement used and tested. He asked for further information in that direc tion.

The Sea Wall.— W. B. A. Morrison, secretary of the New Zealand Frozen Meat Company, wrote in connection with the re clamation contract that Mr Maguire claims payment from the Company of £707 as " extras," including extra cost of haulage materials for furnishing railway reclamation £637 ; cost of laying down tram lines for carrying on this portion of the reclama* tion £70. These items the company were informed were chargeable to the Board, as its Engineer ordered Mr Macguire to suspend operations during repairs to the sea wall. Information was desired as to whether the Board had any intention of disputing the claim. G having Dock.—-Reports from the En gineer and Inspector of Works showed that the contractor is making good progress with the work in hand. Pierce Lanigan wrote complaining that the Inspector of Works had interfered with his workmen by getting them to do work which he had not "on paper." He also wrote "that for more than twelve months he had not been doing more than half work through delays which he was not responsible for. Work that should have been done last summer had to be done during the present winter. For the want of details certain work had cost three times the ampunt it should have done.

Reclamation of Freeman's Bay.—Mr C. E. Button wrote : "The Gas Company v. The Board. By instructions from the Gas Company I have prepared all the documents necessary to commence an action against the Board in respect of the reclam ation works at Freeman's Bay. However I have gathered from remarks that have fallen from both yourself and Mr Bryham in conversations which I recently had with you, that there must have been a misunderstanding between the Board and the company with reference to the plan submitted by the company. Be fore acting further on my instruction I myself thought it would be a great pity if in consequence of such misunderstanding negotiations for the settlement of the difficulty between the Company and the Board should have been wholly broken oft', and the parties remitted to legal proceedings under the influence of such feeling-.f;now writes to ascertain whether or not the Board have abandoned all desire for an amicable arrangement (which was the interpretation put by the Company on the letter of the Board's solicitors of the 9th June last, or whether they are willing to renew, the negotiations previously entered upon in the matter."

Works and Tariff Committee. —This committee recommended (1) that the re quest for remission of wharf dues on transhipment cargo from L. I). Nathan and Company .and others be not granted. (2) The Committee cannot recommend re mission of port charges leviable on ship Hermione. (3) That consideration of the Engineer's report re necessity for repairs to the main portion of Queen street Wharf be deferred until altera tions to the outer western tee are carried out; (4) that the amended sketch plan for additions to to the outer western tee of Queen - street Wharf is approved of, and that plans and speci fications be submitted for approval : (5) that the Engineer's plan for goods-shed and office on ferry tee is approved of, and that plans and specifications for the same be submitted to the Committee for consideration; (6) That consideration of proposed bye-laws for management of Calliope Dock be deferred.

HOBSON-STREET WHARF.

At the Harbour Board meeting this after noon, the engineer submitted working draw, ings for extension oi Hobson-street Wharf from the north end of last extension to main line quay frontage, being a length of 1,100 feet on tho eastern face, and 1,150 feet on the western face. The arrangement of goods sheds, demin sions, depth of water obtainable after dredging; and lineal feet of berthage having 25 and 27 feet of water at low tide. The Engineer was of opinion that the wharf should be constructed as soon as possible, because in addition to the deep water berths and spacious good sheds ac commodation, complete shelter would be provided for all the wharves lying to the eastward during the preva lence of westerly gales. The wharf is designed in accordance with general plan of harbour improvements, consisting of a solid rubble mole 40 feet wide on top with slopes 1 to 1, and four bear ing piles on each side to carry deck ing 45 feet wide, the whole surface, including roadway to be paved with kauri blocks.
