Two pawnbrokers, named Lewis Samuels, in King-street, and John Browning, in Eliza- beth-street, were summoned to the District Court yesterday, for having in their possession articles which had been unlawfully pawned, and were the property of James Barnard. In the previous week the defendants were summoned for taking pledges from a boy named Wm. Conquest, apparently under 14 years of age, but the cases were postponed, and the charge was altered as above. The evidence was that the wife of a sea captain named John Barnard was in the habit of pawning household property to an excessive extent, under the name of Mrs. White, during her husband's absence, and that on several occasions she sent the little boy Conquest to pledge the things, giving him a note, as the defendants would not deal with him without a note stating that he was acting for Mrs. White, by which name they knew her. Barnard said that his wife drew from £2 to £3 a week from the ship's agents while he was at sea, and had ample support, though she stripped the house of everything which could be pawned. Mr. Godfrey, for the defence, contended that the wife could pawn things in her husband's absence, and that the pawnbrokers could not be blamed because she chose to pledge the things. The articles pawned consisted of wearing apparel, dress material, knives and forks, sheets, coats, and other things - a very miscellaneous assortment. Mr, Call, P.M., said that the woman appeared to have sometimes pawned eight or nine different pledges in one day, and that the case disclosed a very undesirable state of things. The defendants were each ordered to restore the goods pawned, and pay £2 2s. costs. The order was complied with.

9 July 1877 - THE S.S. STORMBIRD AND BRIGANTINE ISABELLE IN COLLISION.Evening Post, The steamer Stormbird on coming in from Napier at 2 a.m. yesterday collided with the brigantine Isabelle, which vessel was lying at anchor in the harbor. The following is Capt. Doile's report of the affair: "The morning was very dark, and a strong S.E. gale was blowing. The steamer was coming up under easy steam, and suddenly the reflection of her masthead light revealed a vessel's bowsprit ahead on the lee bow. No light was visible. Immediately the Stormbird's rudder was put hard a starboard, but owing to the heavy wind blowing she did not answer her helm lively enough, and came into collision with the vessel ahead. The brigantine's jibboom, which was rigged in, fouled the steamer's starboard forerigging, carrying away the three shrouds, bending the foremost starboard davit, and injuring the boat. As soon as she had got clear of the brigantine, the Stormbird came up to the wharf."
Captain Barnard, of the Isabelle, states that at 1.30 a.m. yesterday he was awakened by a sudden crash and shock. On. coming on deck he saw a steamer in collision with his vessel's bows. She soon got clear, and on examination for what damage she had done to his vessel, found the bowsprit shattered greatly, and split in two, and the shrouds carried away. The knightheads received a severe shock ; and were wrenched out of position several niches. As to whether the vessel's stern is damaged, Captain Barnard has as yet been unable to ascertain. He states distinctly that his riding light was burning brightly at the time. A preliminary enquiry into the matter was held at the Customs to-day, by the Collector, Mr. H. S. M'Kellar, but it had not concluded when we went to press. .
