At tlic sitting of the Supreme Court in Auckland yesterday, Annie Willey, alias McKorrow, was sentenced by Judge Gonolly to four years’ hard labor for striking Mary Ann Dixon with a bottle in a quarrel, inflicting serious injury. Two industrial disputes have been lodged at the Auckland Supreme Court in the carpentering and painting trades. The points of dispute are, as usual, those of the duration of working hours, and the amount of the minimum wage. The carpenters’ dispute will be heard by the Conciliation Board this morning, and that of the painters on Thursday. At Dunedin on Saturday morning Geo. Gibbs, a greaser on the Otarama, was stabbed by two of his shipmates named Alexander Thompson and Carl liunski. Gibbs received a very severe wound in the abdomen, apparently caused by the stroke of a knife. Wlion stabbed he called out, “I am stabbed.” Several of the men in the forecastle heard an altercation going on, which they put down to the men being under the influence of drink. Gibbs was taken to the Dunedin Hospital, where he died at 4 yesterday morning. The Hon. J. G. Ward favors a native gathering to welcome the Duke of York, being hekVat or near Auckland City. Mr Ward says that in his opinion the native gathering should be held near the railway lino. He does not see why the natives in the Wairarapa should not also have an opportunity of welcoming His Royal Highness in their district, but that need not interfere with a large and representative gathering being held at Auckland. He has intimated his intention to make a recommendation to the Duke of York in accordance with the above statements. Mr Ward says that although the Duke will come out in mourning, he is almost certain to fall in with any arrangement which will afford the natives an opportunity of meeting him, and Mr Ward apprehends there will be no difficulty experienced in giving effect to this. Mr Seddon will be in Wellington in a few days, and there is no doubt he will heartily co-operate in making a success of any native gathering, which would be a distinctive feature of New Zealand’s reception of the Heir Apparent. It is to be hoped that if such a gathering is arranged the natives of this district will not be forgotten. The member for this district will probably bear them in mind and see that they are well represented. FOR SALE.
