PER ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN PRESS TELEGRAPH AGENCY.
Auckland, Tuesday. The captain of the Macgrcgor, has been summoned to the Police Court for a breach of the 29th section of the post office regulations by refusing to deliver up certain mails in his possession on demand being made by the postmaster. Mr. McCormick, for defendant, said the captain was certainly entitled to some remuneration for bringing thej mails. An endeavor would be made to settle tho case amicably by consulting Mr. Vogel. The Court adjourned till half-past one, to allow time for settlement. Mr. Vogel addresses his constituents to-night. [The above telegram should have appeared in yesterday's Star. It was received at the Auckland office for transmission at 1.10 p.m., and received here at ■4.14 p.m. A subsequent telegram on the same subject, received at the Auckland office at 2.15 p.m., reached this office at 2.25 p.m., and was published in last night's Star. We can exonerate the Thames telegraph officials from any charge, of neglect. The unwarrantable delay appears to have arisen from neglect in tho Auckland office.—Ed.]
