She then sent her away; telling her to returnan hour after coming back the girl went to attend to the fire, and found the body of the child burning. Her father informed the police in the evening.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A TBAIN DELAYED. The train which leaves Auckland ab 10.50 a.m. for Helcnsyille, ran into a black horse tliis morning,' near Mount Edon Station, on the city'side of the railway bridge, and was delayed in consequence. It seems that the animal, which belongs to Mr Smith, of Mount Eden, was straying upon'the/line, and that its forefeet got caught in the cow-catcher of the train, the effect being to turn the poor brute round and scverefy lacerate his off hind lag. The ' tram was stopped," bub efforts proving unavailing to extricate from the cowcatcher the leg of the horse which was entiKigled therein. The engine driver as a last resort killed the animal with a blow on the head from 'a hammer, and then cut. off, the ~.entangled leg. :. Fifteen or twenty minutes were consumed in this way 6efbre"ttie train could resume its course.

Second Edition.

PROPOSE© PRIVATE CEME TERY FOR ROMAN CATHO LICS. -— Petition to Parliament re Symonds-street Frontage. The matter of the proposed utilisation for building leases of the frontage of the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Symonds-street came before Mr Justice Ward in Chambers this morning in the form of an application by Mr E. Mahoney fcbab His Honor should en quire into the correctness or otherwise of the allegations contained in Bishop Luck's petition to Parliament for authority to utilise the above frontage in the manner we have indicated.. ./ As soon as tho application; for the enquiry had been made by Mr Mahoney, the city solicitor (Mr Thomas Cotter) intimated that he had been instructed by the City Council to oppose the proposed utilisation of the cemetery frontage. His Honer remarked that it practically meant tho closing of an open area in the city. Mr Mahoney pointed out that in proceed ing under the Settled Estates Act the petitioner was obliged before going before rarliament to submit to an inquiry as to the correctness of his allegations. The applicant wished that inquiry to be made by His Honor without any jury and on two gronnds The first was that of expense, and the other reason was that the matter had been before tho public in a way which, to say tho least of it, was unfair, viv., by adverse, new«paper articles and so on, of which the petitioner could not take notice. By' those articles tho public mind had been biassed, and there was danger, therefqi-e, of the jury beinj* un biassed. ,i The newspapers had treated the affair as a public matter. His Honor : And most properly so. It seems to be an intention to close up a public area now open. Mr Mahoney thought the papers should have given consideration to the fact that a step required to be taken preliminary to tho presentation of the petition to Parlia ment. His Houor did not'3upposo that either public or press had any knowledgo of the sort. They must have thought tho peti tioner was going straight to the House witli it and it was quite natural that they should seek to bring their influence to bear upon their representatives in reapecb to the matter. After 'somo discussion His Honor took tho opportunity to read the petition. He then said that it did. not seem to contain any allegations which 'cou'd bo' disputed They appeared to bo purely formal. It was then arranged that tho in-" quiry should take' place beforo His Honor, and without a jury, on .the 31sb of May next Mr Cotter accepted notice for the City n; Council and- it was directed that a copy of the pe tition , should bo served upon him ; also that notice of tho inquiry should be given through-the daily papers to all parties' concerned, and that evidence should bo taken orally or by affidavit if cause weio shown. His Honor remarked that resident? in tho neighbourhood of the cemetciy might desire to be heard in opposition to the Pres byterian petition.
