THE IRISH INFORMERS.

[rkuter’s 'telegrams— copyright. ] Melbourne, Saturday. The captain of the steamer Pathan interviewed Mr James Service to-day and protested strongly against the action of the Government in prevent ing the landing of the Irish informers, who are passengers by the Pathan. His efforts ' were, however, without avail, and he has since refused to supply food or water to the police who are stationed on board the vessel. The Government will come to a final de cision in the matter on Monday, and in the meanwhile the “ Invincibles will be compelled to icmain under police supervision on board the steamer. [Received August 6, 12.15 p.m.] Melbourne, To-day. Hanlon and Kavanagh have admitted they were placed on board the Pathan by London detectives. Smith is bound for Sydney. He denies his identity, and his manner yesterday was most violent.

The relations between the captain and officers of the Pathan and the police have improved* The Pathan sails to-day for Sydney. Communications are passing between Mr Service and Mr Stuart, Premier of New South Wales, with a view of co operating in the settlement of the diffi culty. [Received August 6, 2.30 p.m.] Later. The latest information regarding the informers is that Kavanagh and Han lon have signed an agreement consent ing to their friendly deportation beyond the Australian colonies. [Received August 6, 12.15 p.m.J London, Augusts. It is reported here that the Victorian Government some time back informed the Imperial authorities that the Irish informers would not be allowed to land in Victoria, but that nevertheless Han lon, Kavanagh and Smith were secretly shipped on board the Pathan by the London police.

THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1888.



Thirty-three ships left Newcastle (N.S. W.), on a recent Saturday morning. 1 ne of the emus in the Botanical Gardens at Wellington has been killed by dogs. Flogging is the prescribed punishment for the use of obscene language in New South Wales. A foul murder has been committed at Hamilton, Victoria. The body of a mining man named Hillary was found cut in pieces in the garden attached to a hut. The pieces were put together by the detectives, It is expected that the Wellington Har bor Board will be in a position to com mence dredging operations about the beginning or next month. The dredge ordered last year from Messrs Priestman Bros, London, arrived by the Catalonia a few days ago, and ta-day a start was to be made to place it on board the punt built expressly for the purpose. The hopper barges are in course of construc tion, and will not be completed be fore the end of the month, by which time it is expected the dredge will be ready for work. The dredge is of the same pattern as those in use in several parts of the colony, and is cap able of lifting half a ton of silt. Its cost is nearly LI,OOO. The part of the harbor where it will be first set to work will probably be alongside the Queen’s wharf, where the depth of water is not so deep as it once was. The berths at the radway wharf will then receive attention, after which the machine will remove the silt lying alongside the breastwork. The Board have not yet decided as to where the silt will be deposited, but it is ex pected that arrangements will be made for placing it within the area of foreshore about to be reclaimed at Te Aro.



A Melbourne paper raises a point of interest and importance. It asks, “ Can the proceedings in the case of a man committed for trial by a Police Court be regarded as closed ? If not, the news papers are liable for action for contempt in publishing them. Surely it is very injurious for a man await ng trial to have all the Police Court evidence published and commented on, as it often is, almost every day. Yet no one thinks < f trying to stop the papers from doing it.” We are not sure that the newspapers could be restrained from publishing such evidence by any legal process, but there certainly are cases in which the publication of the evidence taken at the preliminary trial is very objectionable. When brought before the Supreme Court, the fate of the accused is decided by a jury of twelve men, supposed to be honest and true, but at the same time they are men capable of being influenced by wbat they have previously heard and read. When the Police Court trial has been fully pub lished, and these jurymen have heard the comments and remarks of scores of per sons for perhaps a mouth or two before they are called upon to give their verdict, it is next to impossible for their judg ments to be unbiassed. At the same time we do not see what can be done to mend the matter. It is, however, worthy the consideration of all who desire to see im partial justice meted out. fine who was a true friend to colonial de velopment, and who was deeply anxious that religious welfare should accompany material progress, has just pass'd away ; says the Home News. To the Rev. Ed ward Coleridge, who has just died at the advanced ago of eighty-three, is largely due the endowment of a colonial Esta blished Church. At a time when his whole energies seemed monopolised by his scholastic work as an Eton tu-or ha yet found leisure to realise and strive to satisfy the claims of the Church in dis tant lands. Aided hi this by Solwyn— at that time a neighbor and afterwards an ideal colonial Bishop—he worked strenu ously to raise funds for the .enterprise he had so much at heart. His aim was to give endowments to various colonial churches, and provide recruits for the ministry. His efforts were completely successful. He did not hesitate to use his great influence and his undoubted powers of persuasion in seeking subscrip tions, and almost alone he obtained nearly L 50,000. A large portion of this was applied to the formation of 5t Augustine’s College at Canterbury, at which candi dates for the colonial churches and mis sionary enterprise are now specially trained. The building itself was the munificent gift of Mr Beresford Hope, but the endowment was defrayed by the moneys raised by Edward Coleridge. The college will always bear testimony to the ardent piety and zeal of its founder, while his name, with that of their “alma mater,” will long be remembered by numbers o ! Churchmen laboring in far distant parts of the world.

The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having sore . shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’' time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. . It ia the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over now ploughed ' ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring-' tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roofs or rocks, thereby making It much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow,, when turned on its back, acting an Inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. ' 11321. GOT MAKE R 8 .
