AUCKLAND.

This day,

A respectably dressed man named Mackay was charged with attempting to induce a man named Jules Juliot to commit a felony. Such was the charge, but it was understood that the real offence was of a disgusting character. The peculiar facts of the case did not transpire, as accused was remanded for eight days in order that a medical Examination as to his state of mind might be made. Tbe prisoner is a foreigner and only arrived in Auckland last week. No disclosures hare been publicly made in respect to the accused. His general demeanour sedmed in faror of the supposition that he is not of sound mind, and it is r rumored that he had been an inmate of a Lunatic Asylum very recently. Last night. Some of the unemployed brought by the Hinemoa complain that while they were to be kept at tbe depot till employ* ment could be found for them, rations hare been stopped, also firing and light, and the cook-house locked up. They claim fulfilment of the original condition. Disgusting revelations were made at the discussion on the city abbattoir management of the City Council. Pigs are kept for weeks there, and fed on offal. The remain? of a heifer which died from cancer, it is said, also went to make good pork. Intelligence has been received by the mail, of the death of the oldest son of Major General Nugent (formerly Major of the 58tti Regiment) aiOabul, where he was blown up in a mine explosion while commanding a party of Boyal Engineers. He was a native of Auckland.
