A somewhat extraordinary charg of druukenncsi was disposed of at tne tfeaideac Magistrate 1 * Cortu to-day.. Mr Frank Wiudior, » highly wpwtabto

ian, remarkable for his good oonduot nd sobriety, employed as clerk in the Japier Railway department, went last evening to the look-up imaediately after he bad, lef* hisr -office-;, to ry and bail out hiß sou, a compositor at he • Wanaugn 1 office,, who had been ooked up drank. Mr Windsor wa3 ao lompamftd by Mr Hill, the publisher of ,be « ASTananga.' Servant Robinson told. tfr Windsor that his )wn was too drunk :o bewailed. After he had turned away, MLr Windsor khpokedyiagain and aakea to lee v hia sou. The- sergeant walked towards a oell and opened it. Mr Windsor, thinking that his son was there, walked towards the cell, and was immediately thru-it in; and the door locke i upon him. Mr Hill ran away, thinking lie too might be looked up, but he went in quest of the Inspector, and told him of it. The Inspector went to the look-up, but, accepting tha sergeant's assertion that Mr Windsor was druuk, did not look at him, and he remained there all night. To-day Mr Hill and a number of witnesses give evidence that Mr Windsor was perfectly sober, anil he was discharged, the Bench expressing the opinion that more discretion sUould iave been shown by the police. Dunbdin, Thursday. BISHOA MORAN ON THE EDUCATiON BILL Bishop Moran is invei hing strongly against the Educ»tion Bill. Last ni^nt he dehonnced it in the following words : — A more atrocious and tyrauical measure was never conceived in the mind of man; nor ha<i any such legislation been proposed since the days of penal laws. Ii was bringing them back to the days of their lathers, when they wer« obliged to floe to the mountains and bogs to preserve their faith. ihe Bill was » Freemason's programme. Nothing uure or less than an embodiment of their principles, and their determination to destroy the Catholic Church and fait'i The Freemasons in this country were dupes of those on the continent, a->d were mUle J by them. He knew of nu other Government besides New Z uUud, except .Russia and G rmany, which hUd proposed such an iuiquity as this Bill tie had great difficufty in rtsstr lining himself in Bpeakin^ upon it, oecause i) wa9 enough to excite indignation that was calculated to a*ouse evary epark of fir which existed in iho soul. He h&J not language t express his fee hus m regard lo the injustice with whiah Cnhobcs were treated by the Bill, as it Wi« trifling with their rights and privileges as subj -cti of the realm j it was an insult to theii manhood, citizenship, and faith, and ar atrocious attempt to trample upon th m They would ask him wnat was to bocomt of these ? That was for themselves tc say. As the r lealer and instructor, hi had expluine I tho provisions of the Bill and it was for them to deal with then rulers. He could only raiae his voic< in denunciation of. the existence of in justice ia the Bill, and point out th iniquity of the measure to show then the dangers to which their children wer exposed, and to unmask the designs o those determined to destroy their fait and that of their children. If the Bii became law he saw nothing for them t do as Cafchoiic9, except to adopt one c the alternatives pointed out. It wouli be necessary for Catholics having chi' dren euher to remove to localities beyoac the radius of two miles from G-overnmeD Bchools, or to flae from the colony aa a accarsad spot blasted by the tyranny < a persecuting Government and legislator It would be ussleas and a degradation t petition men who in this nineteenth cer tury were capable of introducing such measure, but they should bear them i mind at the hustings There was or thing, hovever, which they could d< that was to pray and put their brust i God, whioh he earnestly exhorted thei to do. The Catholics of Duoedm held public indignation meeting on Wednes day-
