Hawke's Bay Times. Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri. TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1871.

In this day's issue we publish the first instalment ot the full report of the pase against Mr C. Lemon, charged at the Resident Magistrate's Coiirt ? Wellington, with a breach of the Telegraph Apt. The case is an important one in many respects, and our readers will be able to judge how far the Resident Magistrate was justified in his summary dismissal of the information. The absurd telegram forwarded to us by Oreville's Wellington agent on the conclusion of the was utterly worthless as an item of news, conveying, as it did, nothing but the exultation of the agent gt the turn affairs-had taken.

English telegrams via Suez may be looked for to-night or to-morrow. We are informed by the Chief Postmaster that a mail service is now established between.' Waipukurau and Taheraite. JVI ails arejdespatched from the former eyery Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, returning from Taheraite every Friday, so as to an ivc at Napier on the afternoon of Saturday. We are sorry (nays the Lyttelton Times) to have to record the death of an old coasting captain, which took place in the harbor on Monday last. Captain Taylor, of the schooner Bee,, left the Railway Ayharf in the ketch: Volunteer's boat, which was loaded deeply with stores. Jn the boat were, two sailors- -Henry Harrison and Wil liani Laurence—belonging to the Bee It was remarked by some persons, and by the seamen, that the boat vyas too heavily loaded for such weather, the wind blowing heavily, and in strong austs from the north-east. All went right until the boat got wilhin ten yards of the vessel, and, whilst going under her stern, a puff, of wind caught the boat, she began to fill, and turned bottom upwards. Harrison informs us that he s not being a swimmer, stuck to the boat; Laurence, being able to swim, clung to a paddle. Capt. Taylor was swimming, and Laurence took otf his hat, bidding him to do his best, but Taylor was exhausted, and told him to look to himself. The men were drifted down the harbor, and a boat from the ketch Ann put off to the rescue, and picked up the two men. The pilot boat and staff were quickly off to the scene of the accident, but nothing could be done, as the wind and tide prevented any search. A singular fatality has attended ,Captain Taylor. This was to have been his last voyage in the Bee, and his two sons also lost their lives by drowning some time since.
