WELLINGTON GOSSIP.
[from our correspondent.] Wellington, September 22. There was a most 1 disgraceful scene at the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning between Travers and Buckley. Travers is conducting prosecution against James Walden for the alleged tarring of Sydney Muir, and Buckley was called on as a witness. Travers several times ""referred to Buckley as this person, and called him a " vagabond". Buckley said Traverses insolence was beyond measure, and if uttered outside the court he Would have to answer for it. Travers replied that he
was prepared to stand by getting his head outside or inside half-a-century. If the scene took place at the Dublin courts an adjournment to the ten acres would have settled masters more efFectually than Mr Wardell the R.M. succeeded in doing. He looked on the legal combatants as the picture of impotency, and then delivered a lecture on gentlemanly behaviour. .'-■."■
