At a meeting of the Auckland Education Board last Friday the, 4?namngl position of the board was brought under notice. The overdraft, liabilities for .contracts, &0., amounted to over. £20,000. The buildings required were stated, to* be 40 schoolhouses and 60 teachers' residences, costing £38,000. It was ordered that - the attention, of the Government be. called to the matter.

A Catholic organ, the New Zealand Freeman's Journal, a weekly "publics?* of .twelve pages,- was issued ia Auckland dn Saturday. . . , v .^~ Information has been received by ihe Christchurch police that a man named Stephen Walsh, convicted of larceny at the last criminal sessions at Christchurch, is identical with a man named James Lyons, the missing witness in the charge of .arson preferred against James and Patrick M'Minainih at InveroargilJ, and for whom a reward of £200 has been by 'the Government. / .^Tho^ information was given -by a prisoner in the Kaiapoi look-up,' and a detective^proceeded to • Lyttelton gaol orii Saturday afternoon to examine the tatpo inarka on Walsh.;' ' <",.-. ;■ : :■■:..-,•;;] a A fire broke oiit' on Friday, ' aftarnoofr at the station of Messrs Cunnigham; 'in Canterbury, in their shearers' building. The hands were all away at the time, and -on their return they found the place burnt down. It is believed .that .the. loss will be about £100, and it is uriders'tocfa that the building was uninsured. A servant girl at Jewell's Bay, /Hotel, Anderson's Bay-road, Dunedin,;gaWbirth to a female child on Friday morning^and concealed the fact until the body of the infant was discovered in a box. in her mother's cottage. The girl- had on the previous evening' excited suspicion, but she insisted there were, no. grounds ;fpr ; it. Dr. Ferguson was called in on Friday .morning, and to him she. denied.. she i had given birth to. a child, b^t the dead body of the infant was found shortly after. Ifc was removed to tho hospital where an inquest will be held in due course. At an early hour : on morning a two-storied wood and iron building, consisting of. -eleven- rooms and a ' shop, situate at the corner of King and Honee-streets, Dunedin, and owned by Richard Lamb, butcher, was ," discovered to be on fire. The fire* originated in the ' sitting room upstairs over the shop, and ■ extended to the room where ijjfiWas^discovfered by Mr Lamb, who heard a crackling noiso, and on getting out of bed he found the upstairs on firo. Ho stated that lie retired to bed at 11 o'clock on Friday night after extinguishing (he fire by throwing water on it, and could only account for the firo by supposing there was a defect in the brickwork of the-fire-place. He recently purchased the premises and good- will from Mr Daviti Bettfeen, paying £2206 for them. The premises were insured by Mr Befcheen, 1 but to what extent has not been, ascertained. Mr Lamb's furniture, was insured for £100, but on removal he failed to give notice, and the policy accordingly lapsed. At the Christchurch Resident Magistrate's Court, last Friday, a oivil seca was heard involving a point of considerable interest. William Bernard was alleged to have stolen a mob of sheep from Jame3 White, & farmer, and to have put them up at auction at the Addington sale yards. The sheep were purchased by Messrs Fleming Bros, through an agent named irmitage, White demanded :. restitution, which being refused by Messrs Fleming, he sued to recover the sheep or their value. It was argued on behalf cf the defendants that the sheep were bought in market overt, and that therefore tJ c | Magistrate could not order restitution till the conviction of the thie£ The plaintiff 'a counael argued on the other hand that there was no such thing in the -colony as market overt, which only applied to. England under a statute of William and Mary. He cited authorities to show that restitutiou could be ordered for goods sold out of market overt without the conviction of the thief, and as there was no such thing here the plaintiff was entitled to recover. Public auction was • not market overt for the purposes of the law. Ifc was admitted on all sides that the case rested on the meaning of ',' bnarketlo.v.ert " and the Magistrate, after taking time to consider, „Baid h,e. w.aß inclined. \q tftfxfo (fog

saie was as much at market overt as il regulated by statutes as far as the equities were concerned, but the law was steadil j against that view, and'he would- have to enter a verdict for the plaintiff with costs.
