During the cours" of Iho concert last night (saya tho Southern Cross) aft the Choral Hall, Miss A lice May was prelected with a yery handsome and valuable diamond lc ckefc and necklace, manufactured by Mr. Henrich Kehn, which had been subscribed for by a few of her friends and admirers in Auckland. Miss May has irade a tour of the principal cities of New Zealadd, in each of which she has been paid a similar complimont. In reviewing the probable changes in the personnel of the Judicalßonch, the Wellington Evening Post renia.ks:—Tho Chief Justice should reside hero permanently, end at least two of the Puisne Judges should clso have iheir head quarters here, and go circuit. If either in Nelson nor in Cbristch;:rch is there any necessity for a resident Judge. In Auckland and Otago there probably i«, and •wo should hare no objection to there always being a Judge in each of these cities—a Judge, but not the same Judgoj With four t Puisne Judges, the Auckland and Otago Judges might -vritU-jigreatjlji^yantago "to the community be changed annually. Wo would then have a judge always resident in Duncdin and Auckland, a Chief Justice always resident here, and two P-uiena Judges also resident here, but holding. Circuit Courts in Christ-, church, Nelson, Hokitika, and Napier. Otjb worthy Resident Magistrate delivered n judicial castigation to a gentleman in Court this morning. Capt. Butt was one of those who was brought to the Court to answer a ; charge of having neglected to vaccinate an infant of which he was the parent. He wag fined 5s and cyst. When departing ho was henrd to murmur something, which in reality was a harmless'andj,lnoffensivo murmur, but which nevertheless gave the impression that he (the mulcted one) was totally dissatisfied with the judgment given, and rather doubtful ai to its justice. His Worship asked Captain Butt what he hnd Raid; and Captain Butt answered "nothing." A short and sharp rebuke was then delivered from the seat of justice, for this disrespectful manner of treating the Court.
