THE LABOUR AGENCY QUESTION.

Sir Heighton Before tile Com.. At the Polico Court this morning, bofiro JVlossra H. Brett and S. Y. Collins, a labour . agont named Robort Heighten was charged with having committed abreach of the Police Offencoß Act, 18SI, by imposing upon one Simeon Kirsch, and obtaining from him los by certain false protences. Sergeant Pratt conducted the prosecution and MrTheo. Cooper appeared fordefendnnt. Sergeant Pratt said that from the evidence he would adduce tho Bench would see that this was clearly a case of obtaining money under false pretences. He . ould bo ablo to show that tho defendant was a labour agont, carrying on businoss in 'Queen streot. On the 19th of last month the plaintiff advertised in tho Auckland Evening Star for a second baker at 183 per week and found, nnd signed Heightonand Co., 104, Queen-streot. The proseoitor would prove that on tho 10th of March ho caw the advertisement ond asked for the iweition of second baker. The advertiser told the man that if ho gave him 13a ho should h&vo the situation; and also agreod to return it in tho ev'dnt of not securing the position. Whon tho man wont for hia situation ho was told that tho situation waa already taken, and upon asking for hia money back tho man waa only laughed at. Martin Hammon, clork at the Evening Star Office, deposed to tho advortisoment boing inserted in the papor, and produced the copy. Simeon Kirsch, n baker,roaidlng in Upper Symonda-atreot, doposed that he came to Auckland on tho 16th of March, and on tho l9ih of March he went to Heighten and Co., 104, Queon:Btroet, in answer to an advertiaemont he had seen in tho "Herald" and Evening StAk. Heigh ten asked him to fetch his referehce. On producing it, Heighton said "You will get this placo." Accused also naked wit noes to givo him tho 15a, and if he did not get the place the monoy was to bo returned. Witness paid the money and was told to call on the following Monday when the man would bo thero to engago him, and ho would hove to sign for si* Months. On Monday morning when ho arrived Mr Heighton fald, "The gentle man iB not hero yot. You will havo to wait." Witness waited two hours, after which Heighton came out ond said, " Tho gentleman haa met his friend, ond haa engaged him." Ho also told witness to come again tho noxt day. Witneas went accordingly,when Mr Heighton said be had no orders and asked him to Come again the next day. In company with a Mr Warner witness afterwards visited Heigh ton and asked for his monoy back again, ob he wanted to go to Napier. Mr Werner eaid to Heighton, " Give tho man back his money, and save any further trouble." Heighton replied, " I have nothing to do with you, sir." He then told witness to Call again the next day. Witness did so, when he was told be had no letters. Heighton also eaid that he had sent away witness's reference. Witness again asked for his money back, when ho was told that tbe reference had been sent to a man who had not yot returned any answer By Mr Coopor: Heighton did not tell witness to call at 2 o'clock on the day on which he first visited Hoighton and Co.'a. Ho went into Mr Heighton'a office after warda and asked for hia money back, aa he had got a situation ot Napier. He had not got a place at Napier. He only told that to Mr Heighton to got his money back. Charles Werner, baker, Upper Symonds s'reet, deposed that he went to Heighton'a office either Wednesday or Thursday last week. Mr Kirsch was with him •Witneas saw Heighton and askod him to refund the 15s. Heighton refused and witneßa said, " What's the good of robbing the man of 15s ? he's got nothing to live upon." Hoighton replied that ho had nothing to do with witnesß. He also caw Heighton ye3terday,but that was about other business. This closed the case for tho prosecution. Mr Cooper asked the Bench whether there was really any case to anawer, as tho evidence did not support tbe information, for there was no proof of fraud, either in action or Intention. Evidence -.of Mr Heighton'a bona Jidcs was shown in the fact that the proßecutor waa told to meet his probable employer. Unfortunately owing to thia caae having been laid under the Police Offences Act, Mr Heighton'a mouth was shut, and what was tnore,there waa no option of a fine -in thia case. It was also unfortunate that Mr DouglashoJ not been procured fromThamoa, although he bad been telegraphed for. He would, howover, produce some evidence to show that a genuine transaction had occurred. Mr Cooper then read letters recoived from Mr Douglas showing that Kircßh's name had been submitted to Mr Douglas. George Alexander Douglaa deposed he waa uncle to Mr K. T. Douglaa, baker, of the Thames. He knew that his nophew was in Auckland about 0 fortnight ago. Witness also identified the letters produced na being in the handwriting of his nephew. He did not know for a fact that his nephew had had transactions with Mr Heighton. The Bench, after a lengthy consideration, decided to adjourn the caae for a few days in order to hear the evidence of Mr Douglas. They were of opinion that the statementa of the prosecutor had not been fully contradicted. They had the distinct statement that the proßecntor had paid 15s to obtain a situation, and had not received either tho position or his money back, and the Bonch were also of opinion that there had been ample timo to ' refund the money. On the suggestion of Mr Cooper tbe case . was adjourned until the 16th met.
