At New Plymouth tho other day, a lad named Burkett was severely gored by a A recipient of benevolent relief, at Dune din, died the other day, when it was found that he had £200 in the bank, besides being owner of some land. At Wellington yesterday a man named Henry Saunders wus sentenced to 14 days' hard labour for playing dice in a railway carriage. Tho latest news from Youghal, County of Cork, states that the cxc foment there ia quieting down. A Wellington merchant, formerly in busi ness in Auckland, is charged with alleged fraudulent dealings with regard to some p- • i aory notes for amounts involving _i^U. Decision has been given by the Native Land Court at Cambridge with regard to the Puketura-Puahoe boundaries, and sub division will follow. Mr Jas.

Yesterday Professor Black lectured on Schools of Mines to a large audience at Hokitika, and expressed great satisfaction at the efficiency shown at various Schools of Mines on the Coaet, which were far beyond hie expectations. A prisoner charged with larceny managed to eecape from the yard at the Auckland Police Station on Saturday night by climb' ing up the spouting to the roof.

Waoganui Regatta took place yesterday, and was highly successful. The Wellington; and two Nelson Rowing Clubs were repre sented.

Automatic street lamp lighting has had a successful trial at Dunedin. A small pilot burner is kept burning all day with very small consumption. When the pressure is turned on at night the increased power open s valves which form a large burner, and tbe gas is lighted from the name from the small burner.

THE HALL CASE.

Press Opinions. . (by telegraph— own correspondent.) Dunedin, this day. The "Herald" says: "The result will not be received with satisfaction throughout the colony. An impression will prevail that the cold blooded scoundrel, who richly deserved to die, escaped the scaffold not from want of sufficient evidence to convict him, but through one of those legal technicalities which often shield trie worst criminal frorri well deserved punishment." Wellington, this day. The "Times" says: "If ever a man deserved hanging, that man is Thomas Hall, and that through the quirks and quibbles of the law lie should havo escaped the penalty is a grave judicial scandal. Judge Johnston's reasoning may be ,perfectly sound law—we are bound to assume it is, as all the judges concurred ; but to the lay mind it certainly appears in many respect 3 strained and unnatural, Hall has escaped hanging, and he may think himself ex ceptionally lucky in having done so. There will undoubtedly prevail throughout the colony an impression that his escape is us much due to other causes as to the in trinsically defective condition of the law. Had he been a poor man without rich and influential friends able to fee learned counsel and carry the law from one court to the other, the law would doubtless have hanged him without the slightest compunction on the right verdict of the jury. It requires gold to , bring to light the hidden' niceties and refinements of tbe law and this case of Hall's shows conclusively how very differently the criminal law bears on a rich man as compared with a poor man. In this connection we feel bound to utter a word of warning as to the future. The same means and influences which have been used to save Hall's neck from the halter will undoubtedly continue to be used in efforts to relieve bim from the full performance of the sentence he Is*now undergoing for the atrocious attempt on bis wife's life." . Chbistchurch, this day..•-. "Times " Fays : "The tendency of;the inferior Courts in England, has been to ad mit such evidence as that in question in I Hall's case. Unluckily, the English Court of Appeal lias not stamped its approval on tho enlightened viet?, co that .it was left open to the New Zealand. Court xo take. _> 1 conservative view of ihe lnw. There'was, of course, a eoffir' rieyin the." case to sup- Iport our Judge? U c~ ir view, and as ti\,ey acted strictly within then- rights, we trust' no popular indignation -wi.l be wasted on tbeir regrettable if justifiable act With rbeir view tha: their Court has no thing to do with the popular notion of the failure of justice, we cannot agree. Very great and solemn duties lie on our judgeß to prevent what is a popular—that is a moral—failure of justice. Where, however, the law so hampers judgeß as to lead to such failures, the law, and not the Court, is to be blamed. If ever laymen were justified in com plaining of their splitting technicalities we think they lire co justified in this case. The publio is told that had' Mr Justice Williams admitted t videnco of th i ut empted wife murder in order to negative the suggestion of ace den* in Ciin's ca'e, ho w.mld have kept within the I iw that as he did not mske any such limitoiiun, he exceeded 10. To expect a non-:egal mind to admit that , upposing evidence to be admissibioat all, i„ mattered why it was admissible, is expecting too much. £. layman argues that tho facts might properly be kid before the ju-y ;th_tj they were so laid, and that it waa only cimm.in fen.se to l"t the jury draw their own deductions from them."

THE WRECK OF THE LYT TELTON.

Do not be persuaded to buy cheap and inferior brands of jam, the remains of old stock which* must be sold at any price, but ask for Kibkpatrick'h New Season's Jam, and see that you get it.
