(Reoeived Wakapu&ka July 4, 9-25 am, Guardian Office, 10-38 a-m) Melbourne, July 4 Messrs Best and Treawitk have presented their report to the Premier on the result of their inquiries into the New 2Qaland unemployed and other questions. They make no recommen dations for the enactment of similar legislation here, but the opinion is expressed that in the colonies where a department of labour has been estab lished excellent results have followed. The opbration of the industrial, con eiliatioDj and arbitration Acts in New Zealand was warmly commended, and they say it appeared to be the general concensus of opinion that the Old Age Pensions Act was a good and worthy one. It appeared, however, inevitable that further experience of its working would suggest the necessity of amend ments in certain directions.

The Federal Band.

Tbere was a crowded house last evening to hear the Federal Bind give an entertain ment in the Oddfellows" Hall, Long bsfore tuG uoar iqc commencing many Beats were occupied, and at eight o'clock standing room only was the order. AU tha available benches i,ta the ba*ok rooms of the hall were jequisitioned, but still there was not enough. The programme comprised Borne remarkably well played selections by the band, including "MoEos in Kgypt," "Peace, be still," a descriptive piece "The young recruit," •• The death of Nelson," and others, while "Obadiah" and "Lord Nelson" amused th© audience • by quaint performances on quainfe instruments.: Company songs were s»i«o given, fend a bolo or two, and altogether line entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, the pieces by the very excellent band specially bo.

THE MYERS CASE.

United Press Association—By Electric Teleeraph Wellington July 3. In the Ail yets case, Mr Hanlon 9 counsel for tha defence, addressing the CJourt, again raised tho point as to the '•uttering." He contended that Myers was arrested and in dicted for forgery, and could be charged with forgery only, notwithstanding what the Extradition Act said. Mr Justice Deoniston held that there was nothing in that point, and overruled it. Mr Hanlon said the accused wished to make a statement. The Judge replied that under the Criminal Code Acfc, he had no right to do ao. Mr Hanlon then ptated ih*ti Myers would give evidence ou oath, but r< 'aw minutest) later eaid he would not give evs u^ce at u!l. ' No evidence waa called for the defence. Mr Stringer, for the prosecution, described the alleged forgeries as gross, palpable, and c'umsy, Mr Hanlon, for the defence, contended that the Urown had been unable to show that Myere had forged the documents, or uttered them knowiug them to be forgeo 1. The act of Myere in having voluntarily offared a promissory note for £381 to Fabian, was not the act of a guilty man. Fabian did nob want the promissory note, and \ Myers, having gob the money without it, might juat as well have torn it up and thus destroyed all trace of the transaction. Mr Justice Dennisiton, summing up, said the facts proved by the prosecution were absolutely uncontradicted. It was not even suggested that the promissory notes, pur porting to be signed hy O'Connell, were actually signed by O'Connell. One point raised by the defence was that the accused voluntarily held out a bill to Fabian. What were his reasons for doing that, if he knew or had reason to believe that his own cheque would not be met ? It was of the greatest importance that he should also give sotr.e collateral security. The jury retired at seven and returned at eight o'clock with a verdict of guilty. The Crown Prosecutor said hs would announce in the morning whether the Crown would proceed wi'h the other charges against tha prisoner, and sentence waa accordingly deferred.

Fire at Westermeld.— The large shed ab Wesce! field, used for the storage and packing of Sax by Mr W. Norman, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday evening. The outbreak wan first noticed at about 8 15, bus nothing could bedoae to suppress it. The result was that the building and its contents (machinery and about £200 worth of flix) were lost. There was no insurance, and the origin of the fire is at preseut a mystery.

Rotten Fish Mr Inspector Smith, {says the Christchurch Press), on visiting an auction room, yesterday, found some cases of tiah beiug offered which he condemned as unfit for human food. The fish, which were paoked in eight cases, were brought from Napier. Unfortunately, Mr Smith was only able to get on the track of two cisss ; the others being Bold before he arrived. The difficulty with regard to fish is that it is sold at three or four different places, and it is impossible for the inspector to be at all. If a central fish market were established, where all the flah coming into the city was sold, the inspector would be able to keep an eye on it*
