It was reported to the Technical Education Board last evening that work in the jewellery and metal work classes could now be begun, tho room and equipment being ready.

A letf.or from the South Wellington School Committee 1 w^s read at the meeting of the Education Board yesterday, in reference to the power of the headmaster to coed the names of such scholars to the board. The feeling ot the members was «->ll agairis,t the boar(l assuming responsibilities whi^h it was held properly belonged to ths teacher. Inspector Fleming pointed out that it was the duty of tho master co recommend feudi 1 children for lemoval to an industrial" , It was decided to inform th 6 committee that teachers in charge of schools have power to deal with Rrsholnrs exhibiting v : ciou& tendencies. At tho Supreme Court this morning judgment was delivered by Sir Robert Stout in the matter of the estate ot Jessie Hopo Brenchley M'Kenzie and another v. Public Trustee. Hb Honour ruled that in the absence of v trust to dispose of the income the ' plaintiffs being of nge were entitled to their sharu of the capital, and he, therefore, ordered accordingly, with costs to come out of the income of the estate, and to be fixed by the Registrar. In a casual sort of way a seaman named Axel Godfrey Anderson entered his plea at the Magistrate's Court today thus : "Guilty, or I would not by here, I suppose." Ho had been called upon to answer a charge of having assaulted Captain Charles M'Gfegor M'Kenzie, master of the steamer Camp Hill. The captain said he was boarding the vessel when tho accused, without tho slightest provocation, struck him on the head. Accused, he explained, •was under the influence of drink at the time. His Worship imposed a fine of 40s, in default seven days' imprisonment. A cook on the Euapehu named Francis Webb was fined £3, in default seven days' imprisonment, for having" used indecent language on the gangway of the vessel last evening.

Challenger, admitted having used obscene language near the Mararoa last evening, and was found guilty of having resisted Constable I'leming. A fino of £4, in default seven days' imprisonment was imposed on the first charge and a sentence of fourteen days' imprisonment on the second. The crowding of tho Town Hall on Dominion night has raised the question of the* authority vested in Superintendent Hugo in regard to the hall. It is authoritatively stated that the Superintendent has power to keep passages and exits clear in IJcenscd places of enteitsinment, but has no jurisdiction over unlicensed buildings liko the Town Hall. Ifc is felt in some quarters that the hall should be formally licensed, so that every means could be available for safeguarding large audiences.
