MAGISTERIAL.

+ ASHBUBTON— THURSDAY.

(Before MrC A. Wrfcr, S.M.)

Affiliation. -The case of Gibson v. Banger, which has been before the Couro for some weeks past, was resumed to-day. Several witnesses were heard, among whom was Mr Patsy Butler, the employer of defendant. — His Worship said the case was a moat unsatisfactory one, and the evidence was not at all conc'usive. The girl was very 1 young) but there was evidence to show that she had nob been a virtuous girl, and m the "*& absence of evidence sufficiently reliable to prove that defendant had been m Ash burton at the time when the girl became pregnant, or within a reasonable space of time, he could not make an order. Nor was it satisfactory to leave such case 3 open ; but should further evidence of a direct character be procured, he would allow the case to be re-opened. The girl became pregnant about Noven.ber 30. The defence was that Banger was not m Ashburton from the July pre vious until December 23, and had nothing to do with the girl till the February following. Mr Parnell for plaintiff, Mr Cuthbertson for defendant. Civil Cases. — In the judgment summons _ case, Craighead and Berryman v A. J. Buchanan, an order to pay 10s per week was made.

THE LIQUOR .TRAFFIC.

Views of the Anglican Synod.

At the meeting of the Synod yesterday, the Rev. J. F. Teakle resumed the debate on the motion — "That this Synod is of opinion that the only satisfactory system of regulating the liquor traffic ia that of plac ing all public houses of* refreshment under the management of local authorities, 11 to which the following amendment has been moved-—" That m view of the Bin of drunken ness this Synod affirms the principle of mor^l suasion and of educating the public sentiment On the matter of temperance." The Yen. Archdeacon Harper suggestod that the motion and amendment should be withdrawn, or a commission should be set up to make inquiries. Sir John Hall took a similiar view, and said that as the question was purely a social j one it came within the reach of the Synod. He did'not think prohibition would answer because it would not be carried ; it it weVe, it wonld not be effective ; then it would not last ; and, lastly, it would be unfair to those capable of using God's gifts m moderation. He was m favor of the traffic being so regu lated as to reduce the temptations for drink ing. In view of the Bishop's visit to Eng land it would be well to leave the Synod unfettered by any resolution on the subject, unless such a one as- the Yen. Archdeacon Harper had suggested. Mi- H. Overton, while opposing prohibi tion, spoke strongly against the drink evil and the inducements held out to the young and helpless to drink. That an unanimous vote might be given, he hoped the Arch deacon's proposal would be accepted. The Rev. W. Hamilton obtained leave to withdraw his amendment. i

As the Yen. Archdeacon Harper was precluded from moving the amendment he had suggested, Mr T. S. Weston moved it as follows : — "That this .Synod is not at present m a position to express an opinion on the meritß of any system of Government monopoly of the liquor traffic, and requests his Lordship the Bishop to appoint a Commission to gather information with regard to the Gothenburg and other similar systemß, and report to the Synod at its next sitting." The Rev. H. Williams seconded the amendment. B.is Lordship said he would be most glad to gather all the information possible on the subject. It seemed almost impossible for him to speak two words without being mis* represented. Nothing that he had said on the subject and m his address could he with draw or modify. On one hacd he was accused df favoring the extreme party of Erohibitioni ts ; .but if members had heard bw the Bishop was spoken of iq Cathedral square on Saturday night they would be satisfied that whateverne had s iid he had not satisfied the prohibitionistß. In fact, he never expected to. Mr Teakle had held forth with considerable vigour upon the vast improvements which had taken place m the liquor traffic. I[e was thank r ul for that improvement, and believed it was more due to lhe prohibitionists, Good Templarß and tempeiance agitators than to the trade itself. That the trade was better there was no question ; it was a matter of either reform or death. Then, on the other hand, because he said the trade as at present conducted was immoral and vicious, he was BU.ppoßed to Ijold that the ftotel peepers were immoral I and vicious. It appeared to him that there were some peopje who had a wonderful lack pf logic.. He believed hotels could be well conducted and should be well conducted, and when they were put under State or municipal control he believed they would be • benefit and blessing to the country, and hotelkeepers would be relieved of a great deal of temptation. Leave was given to withdraw the motion, and the amendment was oarried.

MR B. G. WRIGHT.

TO THE EDITOR

Sir, — I learn with satisfaction that Mr Wright is coming forward for the Ashburton constituency. I am sure the electors will appreciate his self-sacrifice m permitting the ' wishes of the public to override his own convenience, for everybody, knows that going into Parliament means a saorifice on Mr Wright's part. The fact that he puts his services at the disposal of the electors at a time when his health renders a rest desirable is, m the opinion of mostpeople, a matter which has added to Mf Wright's undoubted popularity.— l am, etc, ■"• ' ' f 1: • Portia.

PARASITES IN FLAX SEED.

qpO THE EDIIOB.

Sip, — In a brief local m Tuesday's issue of the Guardian it is stated that Mr J. J. VJTUeon, the fjax < expert of Melbourne, re pqrts on examining flax sped grown m New Zealand, it wag found to be infested with a parasite which renders its value nil. I may .State that about five years ago I discovered a small form of longioorn or ldnghorned beetle, and a minute form of weevil parasitic . on flax seed within the pods. I submitted the insects to Captain Brown, Government Entomologist for the Auckland province who named and described them at the time as new species. On close inspection I ob served that much of the tender unripe seed was partly eaten by (he beetles which would prevent it germinating* I am not certain that it is the same parasite mentioned by Mr Wilson. But, supposing the injury to the seed to_ be caused by these minute beetles, I believe euoh could be obviated to a great extent, if not altogether, by collect ing the seed pods some time before they must. They begin to split longitudinally at the outer end of the upper keel of the pod, and readily admit these or other parasites which attack the seed. lam surprised that the soft, fleshy seed is not more attacked by weevils of which there are an enormous number of indigenous species m New Zea land. — I am, etc., W. W. Smith.
