The Grand Jury to-day threw out the bill against James Grove for libel. True bills were found in all the other cases. The official declaration of the poll taken today will be made at the Council Chamber at 7 o'clock this evening. Mr William Sinclair waa admitted and enrolled a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, by his Honor the Chief Justice, this morning. In making the admission, his Honor informed Mr Sinclair that his Honor Mr Justice Richmond, who acted as one of the examiners, reported that Mr Sinclair had passed a good examination. A sacred concert, consisting of Eosinni's " Stabat Mater," will be'givenat the Masonic Hall this evening by the Opera Company, assisted in the choruses by members of the Harmonic Society. As this is the last occasion on which they will appear in Nelson, this excellent Company should have a bumper house. We understand that Mr Wilmot Cave, the accident to whom we reported yesterday, has sustained very serious injuries, concussion of the brain has been caused by the fall from his horse. Messrs. Wilkins and Cowles' illustrated lecture will be given at the Temperance Hall this evening at half past seven. A tea meeting was held yesterday in con-r nection with the Wesleyan Sunday School anniversary, in the recently enlarged school room, when a large number, including the new ministers appointed to take charge of the circuit, sat down to the well spread tables, which were soon lightened of their load. The company then adjourned to the Church, where a public meeting took place, presided over by Mr Thomas Scott. After the Secretary's report had been read, addresses were delivered by the Keys. Bavin, Eouse, Beckenham, and Messrs Price and Hadfield. Appropriate hymns were sung by the children, whose sweet voices .rendered more apparent by the absence of instrumental music, were listened to with great pleasure by the large audience which had assembled. Their conductor, Mr Trippleton, must have spared no pains to bring the voices of so large a number of children to such perfection both in cadence, and in the distinct pronunciation of their words, a point of excellence which is generally overlooked by instructors of Sunday school choirs. The proceeds of the tea and previous sabbath collections, amounting to about £16, are for the Sunday School Fund. [The following was accidentally omitted from our yesterday's issue.] In the case of Wainhouse v. Grove for libel, His Worship, in committing the defendant for trial, said:— The relation between the parties by and to whom the publication was made seems to have been such as to entitle the defendant as a moral and social duty, (being, as he was, the Secretary and a member of the Local Committee) to publish to the Central Board anything in Mb opinion which he honestly believed to be true affecting the good go-

Vernment of the school. But such {Lpubljcatipdniust not have exceeded either in eifetit p^in ; manner, wh 1 at vvas reasonably sufficient fot tlie occasion. If it did, the privilege is gone. But that is a question only a jury can decide. And as it appears to me there was (prima facie) unjustifiable extravagance of language I must commit ,the defendant for trial. Ifc maybe that tlie communication was not privileged at ill; I do, hot express ft decided opinion' oil that. If it was uot, so much the worse for the defendant perhaps; if it was, the jury, subject to the direction of the Judge of the Supreme Court, must say whether pr no it exceeded the hounds of privilege.
