The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887. ENFRANCHISEMENT OF WOMEN.

Had it not been for the bouhverse ment effected by the want-of-confidenge resolution, and which entirely upset the business of the session, it appears quite probable that the privileges of women m regard to the franchise would have been very materially enlarged. At present these privileges are limited to matters educational and municipal, women who are householders having votes m the elections of School Com mittees and being themselves eligible to be elected and to serve as members of such Committees, and womtn who are municipal ratepayers having a voice and a vote m the election of Mayors and Borough Councillors. Sir Julius Vogel's Bill would have given them the full Parliamentary franchise and have accorded them the privilege of voting for candidates for the House of Repre sentatives, and of being themselves members of Parliament if elected there to. So great an innovation as this was, of course, resisted, but we are bound to say that the best of the argument was on the side of the supporters of the proposal. It is admitted on all hands that if a woman who is a ratepayer ha.« a right to a voice m the election of the body by which the rates an» i ou ;o/i it logically follows that a woman who is a tax-payer is equally entitled to a say m the election of the Parliament by which the taxes are imposed. This then is an admission that all women who are property-owners have a right to representation. But if this be so, then we do not see how the exclusion from the franchise of women who m any way contribute to the revenue of the colony can be legically defended and if this further position be conceded then it follows that all women who maintain themselves must also be en franchised, for obviously all such con tribute to the Customs revenue as consumers of dutiable articles. The proposals of Sir Julius Vogel's Bill went, however, far beyond this, and would have conferred a womanhood suffrage pure and simple, that is to say, would have given the iranchise to all women of adult age on the same residental qualification as is prescribed for the opposite sex. Even had this been done, we are not of those who tliink that any great, harm would have resulted, but, while wa are free to admit

thatif oncefemale franchise beaccorded, even though at first within fixed limits, it must, m the end, and that ere long, be carried to the full extent, we think that inahis, as m all such matters, we should reform and not revolutionise, — m a word that we should proceed gradually— step by step. Notwithstanding the large majority of the whole House which voted for the second reading of the Bill, we know that there are so many members who hold a view similar to that which we have just expressed, that we feel sure that had the Bill gone into Committee it would have emerged m a modified form, probably extending the franchise to all women who are possessed of a property qualification, and m that form, but for the sudden collapse of business

would, we believe, have been added

to the Statute Bo«k. As the elector ates are now to be consulted on public questions, this is one of those upon which they should be prepared to express an opinion, and if there be a general desire that a Female Franchise Bill should pass the electors have it m

their own hands to secure this by re turning members pledged to support it. Public feeling will, if we guage it correctly, approve of admitting women to a similar privilege m regard to Parliamentary elections to that which they now enjoy m respect to municipal elections, and also of according to them a vote m the election of Licensing Com mittees and at Local Option polls. That women are quite as capable of voting intelligently as men admits of no doubt, and to the extent we have mentioned we quite approve of their privileges being enlarged. There is even another direction m which it is quite possible that the disabilities of sex might with advantage be removed, viz, m regard to jury service. In America (Washington territory) women are eligible as jurors and, accordiogto a correspondent of a Chicago legal periodical, the lawyers of the territory, who were at first opposed to the innovation, now declare that they are. quite. converted. They say that they never saw cases tried before more intelligent, clearheaded and re-

liable jurors than the women prove to be, and our authority adds that m one case recently five out of the twelve jurors, and m another two out of the twelve, were of (he softer sex.

One of the Wairarapa candidates (Mr fawkins), m a speech to tie eleotors, ex ires3ed strong approval of Mr Ballance'a pecial-sotUement polioy, and ridiouled the fault-finders who begrudged him a few thou sands for settling the unemployed, while they voted tens of thousands lot public works. These sentiments were loudly applauded. The Wellington correspondent of the • Evening Star " Bays :— •• Sir George Grey, mmediately after addressing his constituents if Auckland East, will make a tour of tbe lolony, visiting all the large towns m both islands. He assures me that he has a new »olicy to lay before the country, and with it lo hopes to effectively turn the tide against tie Stout- Vogel Ministry. From a return attaohed to the Financial Statement it appears there aro m the colony 17,013 persons and 32 companies owning bttween 5 and 100 aores of land each ; 15,451 persons und 21 companies owning between 10a and 1000 acretj, i(jis persons and 30 companies owning between jlooo rrnd 10,000 acres ; 213 persona and 17 companies own ing between 1000 and 5000 acres ; 18 persona and 11 companies owning »over 50,000 acres each. The Very Rev Monßignor Pynes, Roman Catholic Vioar-General of Auckland, died yesterday afternoon at his reßidenoe, Parnell. The deceased prelate had restded m Auckland since 1859, When he arrived from Sydney m 1851 he was appointed to the ohsrgo of Panmure and Howick districts, where he re mained about twenty years, and m 1871 ho was named the parish priest at Parnell. Monsignor Fynes had suffered for some time from an internal complaint, which was the eauso of death. According to the Wellington correspondent of the " Press," It is stated, officially that Parliament cannot possibly muet before 15th September, and that it is more likely the date of meeting will be the 20th September.

The " Feilding Stw" says :— " The friend ships of animals are singular. In Feilding there lives a well-bred terrier, who, from age andinflimity, is unable ito pursue the pleasing occupation of rat catching, whioh he followed ia the days of him youtft with considerable suooess, . His chief friend and companion now is a cat, whioh, from her youth upward, . de veloped considerable skill as a huntress of 'rats and suota Bmall deer.' She, knowing the proclivities of her friend, « goes a ha nting ' and brings heir prey to him alive, whioh he slaughters with many demonstrations of delight and satisfaction, she standing by watching the proceedings with much interest."

A famous Parisian barber of the old school, named Lespes, has (the Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says) just gone the way of all flesh. Like Nello's shop m Flor enoe, tbo establishment dirooted by M, Lespes was onco the matutinal resort oi the literary and artistic ."celebrities, of the day, as well as a local landmark for foreign tourists and provincials. The interior of the shop was not only decorated with skotohes by well known artists, but waß also embe"ished with scraps of prosa and verse, contributed by soma of the. leading litterateurs of Franfle. It was Lespes who invented the famous Portugal decoption with which French coiffeurs anoint the heads of their customers, and he actually received on this account the crosd of the Order of Christ from Don Luiz of Portugal.

SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TRACT.—In protection of the world-wide fame our manufacture has acquired all over the globe, we publish tbe following :— Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Pathology and Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System, says m an editorial published m the " Olinioal Record : "— "We have examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufactures ; the preparation of Sander and Sons was the only one ibat proved to be reliable and correspond' ing to scientific tests." Another concoction called " Refined Extraob of Euolalptua " has marie its appearance since. This product stands, according to Dr Owen, foremost m causing injurious effeots. That gentleman communioatea at a meeting of the Medical Sooiety of Victoria, that a child living at Fitzroy became most seriously indisposed through its use. In another oase a lady states on the strength of statutory declaration that she suffered cruelly from the effects of the same concoction. To guard the high reputa tion! of our manufacture we feel warranted m exptsing the above facts, and desire the publio to exercise oaro and precaution vfhQtx buying SAN.DFR ana SQNfJ, :r [4flYt.J

Ruttor, for allowing two head of cattle to be at large, was fined 20s and costs, 7s. W. Street was fined 7s 6d and costs 7s. for allowing a calf to be at large a Becona time. Police v. Osborne.— AdjourDt 1 for a month. CIVIL OASES. M. Brown v. J. Thompsom— Claim £1 17s for servica of a bull. — Judgment for £1 12s 6d, and oosts 6s, for plaintiff. William Anderson v. the inhabitants of the South Kakaia Road Board Piatriot — Claim £100 for treapass.-'-Mr Harper ap peared for plaintiff, and Mr Holmes for the defendants. — The sum of £5 had been paid into Court. — Mr Holmes complained that full particulars of the claim had not been given — Mr Harper explained that he* claimed damages for a trespass m Novem ber by fenoing off a piece of land ; also, for keeping possession of the said land, and using it for the purpose of taking gravel np to the date of the bringing of the present aotion. — W. Anderson, plain tiff, lived at the Oust, and had a lease of the land m question, containing a pur chasing clause at £7 per aero. The lease had 12 years to ran. His son resided en the property; knew nothing persoaally about the Board's entrance to the land. In December he observed an acre fenced off. The fence was a bad one. The land was m wheat crop. He also noticed that someone had matfe a large hole, out of which gravel hid been taken. Previous to this time he had received no notice whatever of the land being taken ; after wards received tho notice (produced) from the Board. Up to date had not had any ngfl of tho land. Sis threshing return for the year's crop over the farm for the par ticular kiad of wheat (Pearl), was 44 bushels per acre, worth 3a 6d per bushel now. Had suffered much inconvenience through his sheep getting through the bad fence. — Mr Holmes objected to this ques tion being gone into as the claim was for damage m November. — Cross-examined by Mr Holmes : The land was worth £100 an acre to him. There was no township there. He did not know what the Board required shiDgle for unless it was to ehingle the road . Hie son wa ) his manager. He did not know the road was to be ehisgled. He had never Been other pits on the road. He could not say if it re quired ehingling or not. He used the road, and it would be better m winter for metal. His son was his manager of the farm. His son never told him that he had signed a petition to have the road shingled, but he knew it now. His crop of 80 acres of wheat averaged 30 busheh. Mr Osborne threßbed it, and it was worth 3s Id at the Bakaia station when threshed. He wou'd not swear when ho threshed. Ho received notice from tho Clerk to the Board eo mo time m December ldat, before the 10th, and before he went to the land. (The witness hero corrected his previous evidence.) The piece of land fenced oft wan ton chains byone, Bad kept 200 sheep m a lOOacre etubble paidock for over three months. He did not know if he could swear it or not. He had not brought this caBO for a lark. His stubble land was worth 12s an aero for feeding, and he paid 8s an acre rent. Ho was never told he could take tho crop off (he aero. To Mi Harper : When ra'uiDj the land foi stubble feed he took into coafideraflon the time of the yep.-r when it was woi ill 12s. — Hugh M Anderson, sworn, said he was son of p'aintiff and 23 yeprs of age : was m charge of hh father's farm. He had signed a petition to, hava tho roac metalled. On tho 14th November the land was tenoed. Did not remember ho\* many buebGln oS wheat the land produced. —To Mr Holmes; Tho road badly required bhUißlingti The corner of a paddool is tho most convenient place for a bpllaii pit. Ho remembered beinp told ho con'c have the wheat off the acre, and saying he would not touch it. Mr Allan als( told him ho could bavo it. Before th< fence was erected Mr Makelg told him fh( land was required fora gravel pit. lot pit as it stood was m good position f oi supplying metal to a number of roads — E. W . Osborno remembered th/eshlng the crop of wheat, it ran about 42 bushels pei acre of Pearl. The land is good and the wheat was m good condition. — Cross examined by Mr Holmes : The land wai worth £10 per noco. Stubble feed on auol land was worth from 8d to a Is pc aero. — This concluded the evidence fo; plaintiff. — Mr Holmes addressed the Bencl at length, and explained the Board'i aotion m taking the land after being re questioned by the ratepayera. Througl a contractor's error thofenco was ereotec a few days before a legal nolloa wat given. The property instead cf be'i£ damaged wm improved by the road beijg metalled. A. Makeig, clerk of the boprd eworn, remembered Anderaon, jnr, aign {ng the petition. He had told him the lr id would be taken for a pit. Mr Anderson wanted the pit taken off the Acton estate. The Beard had offered £15 for the acre, the same as given for other corner seotlone on tho sumo road. To Mr Harper : None of Mr Harrison's land hfd been taken for gravel. purposes, bui a corner Bection hid been taken from the N. Z. and Australian Land Company on the same road, The fence erected vraa not a good one. 7.ne land taken measured 5 chains by one. To (he Beach : This was the moat con venient place for a pit.— Henry Harrison, farmer, lived on the road shingled. It much improved the value of all the land. Tho coat of outting, s took ing and Btaoking a 42 bushel crop of wheat would be wo:.h lOjanaore, — h. H. Seoretan, agent for the N.Z.L. and Mercs n tile i^enoy Com pany, aald pea-1 wn worth 3s Id m February. Ifc would be worth 3s 4d now if a good sample. — F, Banniion, farmar and contractor, gave evidence— E. S, Coster, J. Dundan, L Oxl ey, were also witnesses. — Mr Holmes addressed tho Bench at corsidorablo length, and was sure that the £5 paid into Court much over covered any damage done. Only a nominal trespass ha i been com mitted, and the land had very much improved m value through the shinglirg of the road. — Mr Harper, on behalf of the plaintiff, addressed the Bench. He con sidered the trespass ss a most aggravating one. The Board had committed a trespnsp, and although it might have been done by accident, substantial dama; es should bo given — The Bench agreed with thoromarkof Mr Harper He had no doubt the Road Board had not acted m a high handed manner, but at the same time bug'; practices should cease, and he would give judgment for plaintiff for £5, over and above the amount, £5/ paid into Court, and solicitor's costs £1.

G. Lake v. B, Druey —Claim £8 10s, for goods suppllied . -—Mr Purnoll appeared for defendant.— There was a cross-action for £6 10s 4d. Both cases wore taken together. A letter was put m as evidence from Sydney, asking Mr Hardy to collect some accounts, statement enclosed, on which it was Bhown that 40a had been paid On account of a waggon, and no mention made of a signboard. Plaintiff denied that this was hid account or letter, and he had never authorised anyone to write it for him. A cheque was produced said to have been paid to Diuey but Lake swore that ho had never seen it before.— Lake swore that he had never had any. of the goods charged for by Druey.— Lake had no witnesses. — 0. A. 0. Hardy, remem bered receiving the* letter and account produced from Lake. This was the only on 6 received. Had a conversation two daJB ago with Lake about thiß account.— A. J f Ho well recognised the cheque pjo

duced, but he had g'veu Lake credit for it a short time before he left for Sydney. Produced books with entry. Pruey was with Lake when the cheque was given him to take care of. It was given to Lake by Druey and handed over by Lake. — Druey, examined, swore that he paid Lake for -the signboard 20s, and for harness 50s m May, 1886, by cheque pro duced m presence of Mr Ho well. There was a running account between him and Lake, and he (Lake) had promised . to send over, the balanoe of money owing to j him from Bydney . He had never bought any ohafl from Lake ; ho had never paid him money since his return, but he had lent him 6s lately.— On the two oaseß judgment was given for Lake. in the first case for £l 16a without coats. — In the case, Dmey v Lake, judgment would be for the amount claimed and costs, also solicitor's fee.— The Bench remarked that more barefaced evidence than Lake's he never heard, and it would requiro con sideration whether a charge of another nature should not be preferred against him.

ASHBURTON— FRIDAY.

(Before Mr H, 0. S. Badddley, R.M. and MrD. ThotsxM, J.P.) CIVIL OASES. - Tooker and Reatell v G. Parkin, jnr., claim £1 12s 9J, £2 had been paid into Court. Judgment for balanoe and ooßts, Jolly v Marriott, claim £6 la 6d — Judgment by default for amount claimed Brine v Stephens, claim £s— Mr Oathbertson foe plaintiff, Mr Orisp for defendant. Thia was an aotlon m which damages were olalmed for injury alleged to have been sustained by plaintiffs cows, F. B. Brine stated that he miaaed his cows from hi j paddock on the morning of May 25th. He subsequently found four m Stephens' paddook. Stephens claimed £1 fo? damageß, bofc wltnoßa on examination thought this far too much. He, however, offered to pay lOj, whioh was refused, Stephens stating that he would take them to the pound. Witness acquiesced m this aTrangemeut, In the evening went to the pound but the cows were not there. On the following day, May 26 tb, witness went to the pound, morning and evening, and blbo on 27th, but the oows were not there. Witness while on his way to Stephens to eeo about the cows heard that thoy were on the Mitcham road, and he found them In a paddook there. The land belonging to Stephens, on which the oowa trespassed, was not fenced. When witness recovered the cows they had Buffered greatly In consequence of not having been milked, and the quantity of milk had fallen off. Witness had suffered loss m oomequenoa — By Mr Oriep :— Witness at this time had a dozy. cows; He had a plaoe m Prlnooßß Street. It was an acre and a half. Witness gr«z°d the oows ia a 30 acra paddock which he had leased. Witness' cows did not stray about. . They were m a very fair condition.— W, Ivory passed Stephens 1 plaoe about the end of May, The pad* dock m which the turnips were was enclosed by a bank about 18 inchea high, There was a gateway wbioh was open. Witneas did Lot think the turnipß were worth £1. There was nothing to prevent stock getting Into the paddook. It was very injurious to oows to »Uow them to go unmilked for two or three days. Brine's oow3 wereia very fair condition. — J. Ward said the effect of allowing cows to go unmilked two cr three days would be to causa them to go dry. Cows whioh gave two .quarts per day were often milked, but it was hardly wofth the trouble — The evidence for the plaintiff having been taken, Mr Orisp maintained that there was no case to answer. He submitted that no wrongful act had been proved ; and supposing that a wrongful act had been provod no damage necessarily resulting from that aofc had -been sho*n. —Mr Gathbortson replied, submitting that it had been shown that plaintiff had Buffered damaga through tbe act. Aftor further argument &*»d the Bsuoh having intitcated that it did not consider it neces sary for the defence to be entered upon, Mr Cuthbertson eleoted to take a non suit ,

FRAUDULENT REPfIESfINTATION. William Houry Hawkins was charged with having obtained £10 from Christina Scot by means of a valueless cheque, and with also having obtained £3 from W. J. Hayes by similar moans— The aooused pleaded guilty fco bota charges. The faots of tbecaße are a* follows : In.September last the accused ppid into his credit at the bank at Geraldine the sum of £175. This money he had since drawn out. Be had,been drinking very heavily, and as (ha cheques ha had given were upon the \unk where he formerly had the acoonnt it wbs BUimißod that he was not m full poßbeesion of his faonlties at the time tho cheques were given. He was iv receipt of remWtances from Home, and expressed his perfect willingness, when he received the ne^t onb, which he expeoled by the San Ffanolsoo mall, to pay the two amounts. The police thought the <jme was one whioh might we)) coma within the eoopo of tho Firet Offondor.s ProbaUon Act— The acoased waa given six months probation and ordered to pay the osts of the proseoutlon. The Court than rose.

CORN EXCHANGE

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending ' June 4h* 17th;— '"' Business has been fairly aotive. Several targe lines having been taken oat of store for shipping, bub m tho main we are unable to report any improvement In values. The rates of freight to London are still too high to allow of heavy ship ments to that ra-rkot, but the Australian demand has been fully up to expatriation!* The weather on the whole h«i been favorable for wheat sowing «hd[lt hat generally been made good nse of by farmers.

Wheat. — Sales continne to be made on the basis of last week's quotations ; Pearl being m as good demand as Taaoan at 3s Cd to 3s 7d, and Hunter's, whioh tg held m much larger quantities, rdnriritii at 3i 5i to 3s Gd ; Whole ohicken^ wtigi* Is soiree and saleable at 3s 2d to 3s 3d; broken varies f torn 2a 8d to 2a lid, *
