Moore (on behalf of the members of the Bar), and Messrs W. T. Bond and C. J. Todd (on behalf of the Press) spoke of the kindness, courtesy and assistance both Bar and Press had always experienced from the hands of Mr Robinson. In reply, Mr Robinson spoke of the regret he felt in leaving after presiding over that Court for eleven years. His relations with both the Bar and the Press had been of a- cordial nature, and both had extended to him such kindness as was appreciated. He must certainly say the toae of the Bar was superior to what he had seen elsewhere, and it had been a pleasure to preside over the Court. He bespoke for Mr Eyre Kenny, who commenced duty on Monday, the same consideration. Probate. — On Thursday, in the Supreme Court, in Chambers, before the Registrar (Mr H, W.

"Rosina Buckmann Concert Company. — The audience ab the School of Music last evening on the occasion of the second and final concert , given by Miss. Buckmann and her company, although few in numbers, was highly appreciative. The vocalists had evidently failed to judge the acoustic properties of the hall accurately, the result, being that the fortissimo passages in the various numbers were spoiled by the echoes. However, the concert was most enjoyable, and every item on the programme was encored. Miss jßosina Buckmann sang four numb(ers, her most successful item being 1 the Jewel song from "Faust," which w.as given with fine effect. An encore number, "The Cuckoo," was also charmingly rendered. The duet "Of Fairy Wand" (Maritana), sung by Miss Buckmann and Mr Hamilton Hodges, was the most en • joyable item of the evening, and receAved a demonstrative encore. Mr Hodges contributed liberally to the programme, and in the "J£rl King" | (Schubert) he was heard to great advantage. His rendering of a quaint song "The Monotone," sung on one note, was admirable, aDd being tastefully accompanied, was far from monotonous. Miss Clarice Buckmann sang "Daddy," and was compelled to bow her acknowledg-

ments. Mrs Ernest Qiieree accompanied the vocalists, with taste and expression, and her pianoforte soli w.era both encored. The ' ' Staccato Eftude" (Rubenstein) was sKilfully &&§cuted, and most warmly applauded. Mr Hodges, at the conclusion of the concert, expressed the thanks of the Company to their musical friends in Nelson who had bo kindly 1 supplied them with. musicviesppCißlly mentioning Mr Huffam.
