LAST NIGHT’S TELEGRAMS.

Christchurch, Oct. 17.

Dr Hutton, Director of the Dunedin Museum, has been offered the post of Professor of Biology to the Canterbury College at a salary of £7OO a year. It is expected that he will accept it. It has been decided to keep the Lyttel ton Regatta going on as usual. In conse quence of the apparent apathy of the Port people in the matter, it was proposed to drop it this year; but the threat revived the energies of the residents, and a pro gramme has been drawn up, containing £205.0f prizes, besides two cups. More rowing races have been introduced this year than usual. Mr Allwriglit, M.HR., requests the “ Star” this evening to give the fullest contradiction to the statement in the Dunedin and Auckland press that he is wavering. in his allegiance to the Opposi tion.

Up to this morning G 4 licenses had been taken out for trout fishing. The total number taken out during the whole of last season was 81.' During the present hatching season the council of the Accli matisation Society have distributed 14,625 young trout, and there yet remains about 15,000 for distribution. A meeting of the unemployed was held in Cathedral Square at ten o’clock this morning. Of the legitimately unem ployed there was a very thin attendance, and the speakers devoted themselves almost exclusively to the political situa tion—John Lee asking for, and obtaining, three cheers for the Liberals.

. Yesterday was the opening day of the present trout-fishing season. There was no large fish caught during the day, and the heaviest fish killed was 31b. The fish up to fib. are in fair condition, but the larger ones are rather poor. A great number of anglers visited the Oust, but as that river was in flood, the sport was very tame. The most successful flies during the day were the black hackle and grey fly. A petition from the coachbuilders and wheelwrights of Christchurch, entreating for an increase of duty on articles of their trade, was forwarded to-day to Sir Geo. Grey, as senior member for Christchurch, by Mr W. W. Charters, hon. secretary to the association for upholding and en couraging native industries. The letter from the association which accompanies the petition thanks Sir Geoi’ge Grey, as Premier of the late Government, for his promptitude in bringing the object advo cated by them before the House, as laid down in the Governor’s speech. The committee of the association observed that it was proposed therein to appoiant select committee to enquire into the above matter, but they were of opinion that a Royal Commission would attain more useful results, as that body would visit all parts of the colony and examine the various manufactories and their capabili ties.

Greymouth, Oct 17

An indignation meeting was held at Brunnerton yesterday, to protest against the reduction of wages from 10s to 9s per day,,on the Stillwater contract, Amberley and Brunnerton Railway. The meeting was unanimous against the reduction. The coalminers joined in the verdict, as it affected them. The meeting declared there were plenty idle men in the district, and cautioned any one agreeing to the reduction.

Timaru, Oct. 17

An attempt to upset the evening pas sengei’ train from the South was made at Normanby Station on Wednesday even ing, by placing a heavy log, backed up with stones, across the line. The ob struction, fortunately, was discovered by a waiting passenger before the train arrived. A man has been arrested on suspicion. Arrived —Maori, s.s., from Dunedin. Sailed—Oreti, s.s., for Lyttelton and Wellington ; Maori, s.s. for Dunedin. Cleared Renfrewshire, barque, for London, with 13,500 sacks wheat. She is the tenth direct vessel this season. ..... • Later. An inquest was held to-day on the body of a child named John Symonds, about 10 years of age. The jury found that the boy’s death was caused by internal disease, accelarated by cruelty, exposure, and neglect on the part of his father, Frederick Symonds. To the verdict was added the following rider : —The jury desire to bring under the notice of the Minister of Justice the necessity for more strict supervision by the police of children ill-treated and neglected by their parents and guardians. The coroner undertook (to forward the rider to tho Minister, and committed deceaseds father to take his trial for manslaughter at the next sit ting of the Supreme Coui't at Timaru. ' Sailed —Clematis. Arrived —s.s. Murray from northern ports. Captain Conway reports Hokitika Bar has not been in such good working - condition for the past seven years as at present

A Western editor apologises to his readers somewhat after this fashion. -"W e expected to have a death and a maniage to publish this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and the doctor being taken ill himself, the patient re covered, and we are accordingly chedate out of both.”

LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

No. 11. Messrs Montgomery & Co.’s Brick Manufactory. By the courtesy of Mr Stephen Potter, the manager of Messrs Montgomery and Co. ’s brick manufactory, our reporter ob tained the following description of this important establishment. Ihe works are situated on the North Town Belt, op posite the Public Domain, and the area of land in connection with them is twenty acres in extent, the greater portion of which is at present a beautiful verdant paddock, in English grass. The most im portant and prominent feature in the works is the kiln. This is an oval-shaped structure of brick, about 90ft. long, 30ft. wide, the sides having a slight slope inwards, and about 12ft. in height. In the centre of this pile, is the smoke shaft, about 90ft. in height, and, as may be im agined, it is a very prominent land mark, and on our broad plains can be seen for miles in all directions. The kiln itself, in the building of which 100,000 bricks were used, bears a resemblance in shape to a fort, and the 12 doors to the chambers very fairly represent the embrasures for the guns ; or it might be compared to a huge copy of the Noah’s Ark, which our childhood’s fancy used to paint. It is constructed on what is known as Hoff man’s patent which is now extensively used in the old country, and the whole of the work has been carried out under the supervision of Mr Potter It possesses many advantages over the old fashioned system. The chambers are never idle, the process of working being somewhat as follows :—There are 12 chambers in the erection, each being entered by a door way and passage ; these are filled with the raw bricks in rotation, each chamber having a capacity for about 6000 bricks. By a system of flues and dampers the draught can be made to circulate through the structure in any desired direction. The fuel used is slack coal, andtliequantity required is from two to three cwt. per thousand bricks.

The top of the kiln is fiat and covered in, the heat not being so noticeable as one would expect from such a body of flame as exists in the heart of the kiln. A number of earthenware flues lead down to the chambers for the purpose of supplying fuel, which has to be done at intervals of from 14 to 3 hours, according to the draught. Each flue is covered with a metal cap, and on removing this the fires can be seen in all the different stages, according to the progress made in the burning of the bricks—varying from the commencement of the process, where the flames are just beginning to burst out, to an intense white heat, where the process is in full blast, and decreasing again where the batch is baked, and gradually cooling. The rotation of the work is very interest ing, as when in full work the burning process is going on in all its varieties of temperature simultaneously; and whilst in one chamber the green bricks are being stacked, the finished article is being wheeled away and stored ready for a cus tomer, and between the two the batches are in various stages of burning. A great many advantages are gained by this process. There is perfect regularity in the heat in each chamber, consequently there is complete uniformity in the quality of the article manufactured. All smoke is consumed, and there is thus no annoyance to residents in the neighbor hood. This is no small advantage when we recollect the disagreeable smell from the old style of kiln. The production is far more economical, and the quality has been pronounced by competent judges tobe superior to anything in New Zealand for resisting either damp or pressure, and this, after all, is the great object to be gained. . Bricks from this kiln are now being used in the construction of the County Hospital, and both Mr Carletnn, the con tractor, and his foreman, Mr Johnson, have stated that they have not seen bricks in the colony equal to them. The hospital will require close on 3000,000 to complete the present contract. The enterprising proprietors of the brick factory intend keeping a stock of about half a million constantly on hand, so as to be prep>ared for any sudden demand. Within a few yards of the kiln is the brickmaking and moulding machinery, a massive construction of cog-wheels and rollers, and which looks powerful enough to crush the hardest rock instead of plas tic clay, but Mr Potter assured me there was no unnecessary weight about it. A staging is erected, on which is a hopper to receive the raw clay, which is “chawed up” between two ponderous rollers, set about a quarter of an inch apart. The appetite of this monster is equal to about three barrow loads a minute. After leav ing the rollers the clay gets into a pug mill, which further mixes it, and again between two other rollers, and is then conveyed through the mould, then along a web, to be finally cut by wires into the proper sized bricks. This machine is cap able of turning out 1,000 per hour, and takes a sixteen horse-power engine to work it. It is not in operation at present, as the demand for bricks is not sufficient to keep it in full employment. An advantage gained by this machine is that the bricks are denser, owing to the more thorough working the raw material receives, and to the fact that it is not necessary to use any sand in the moulding of them ; the sample of machine-made bricks being far superior to those moulded by manual labor. At present the clay is being kneaded in pug mills, worked by horses, and it seems to tax the strength of a good draught animal to keep going on his monotonous round. There are four moulders employed, and about 12 hands altogether. They can turn out GOOO a day, but the present demand is less than that. There are six drying sheds erected close by the kiln, each 150 feet in length, the storage capacity being 140,000 bricks at a time. Of course moulding operations have to be suspen ded for about two months in winter, but, as above stated, there will always be a sufficient stock kept on hand to meet requirements in the district. The works are well situated with regard to water supply, as Messrs Saunders Bros. ’ millrace runs along the boundary of the property, and as the level of the water is 8 inches above the surface of the adjoining land there is no difficulty in conveying it to any desired place. Nature has provided drainage in a creek bed running through the property, and an outfall of 6 feet can be utilised if found necessary.

The total cost of the works lias ex ceeded £4OOO, and it must be evident that

they are of great importance to the dis trict. As a matter of fact, bricks can now be sold by Messrs Montgomery and Co. for prices ranging from 30s per thousand upwards, according to quality ; and although the firm, do not make so large a profit, by selling at the low prices as they did hv tlie disposal of those pre viously imported from Christchurch,' they are quite satisfied to give their customers the advantage of tlie cheaper rate, in the hope that they will by that course induce the public to support the local manufac tory. It is to be hoped that their antici pations will be realised, and that the works will be kept in full swing. The raw material is practically inexhaustible, Mr Rotter calculating that each acre will turn out four million bricks. There is thus very little doubt that the future buildings of the Ashburton will be con structed of the more durable and less costly material.

Forty-four Years in Penal Servitude for Murder—yet Innocent.

After 44 years of wrongful suffering, a claim for the restitution of a name and character mistakenly stained with the imputation of tire worst of crimes be comes almost too powerful to be resisted ; but after 44 years, memory becomes dim and uncertain, and evidence hard to be tested and untrustworthy. Sir John Eardley Wilmot recently brought before the House of Commons the case of Ed mund Galley, sentenced long ago for a murder committed as far back as 1835. It was asserted by the honorable baronet that there was not only no adequate proof that Galley had committed the murder for which he was condemned, but that there was ample evidence of. his inno cence of this crime. Sir Eardley Wilmot is a lawyer, and lias been a Judge of County Courts, but he has been associated with the movement for the abolition of capital punishment, and he may be sus pected of an undue leaning to the side of clemency. His motion was, however, seconded by Mr Buhver, a lawyer of a different type, who avowed, in the most unqualified manner, liis belief in Galley’s innocence. Nor does the case stop here, Sir Eardley Wilmot and Mr Bulwer speak of wliat they have been told and what they have heard, but no less a person than the Lord Chief Justice of England was vouched by them, and Sir Alexander Cookburn, from what he saw and knew at the time, bears testimony to a belief that Galley was wrongfully convicted more than forty years since. He was a young barrister, just beginning practice on the Western Circuit when Galley was tried, and he was then persuaded that the evidence against him did not justify his conviction. Knowledge acquired imme diately after the trial persuaded him that Galley was innocent, and when he learnt quit j recently that G illey was still alive, and spending the last years of a prolonged existence as an exiled convict at the Antipodes, lie wrote a powerful letter to the Home Office, urging that the preroga tive of the Crown should be exercised to restore Galley, as far as lie can be re stored, to tlie position from which lie was degraded. Mr Cross resisted the appeal, but, as it seemed, more from a feeling that he must respect the decisions of his predecessors than from any conviction of Galley’s guilt. His hesitation was re spectable, but it could scarcely be main tained in the face of such a concurrence of opinion as was produced in the House of Commons, backed up by the manifest feeling of the members present. The Home Secretary, indeed, insisted that the House ought not to make any formal declaration of Galley’s innocence, and, as it was felt that this was outside the proper action of Parliament, the declaration was withdrawn, but a unanimous resolution was passed in favor of giving him a free pardon. It is no doubt a difficult thing to re-open a trial of more than forty years since ; and the intervention of a popular Assembly like the House of Com mons in the administration, of justice must always be deprecated ; but we can not refuse to admit tlie truth merely because it happens to be insisted upon in tlie course of a Parliamentary debate. It would be idle pedantry to adhere to a wrong conclusion simply because it was impeached in the House of Commons, especially when there is no tribunal of an exclusively judicial character before which such a case as that of Galley can be argued. Galley was tried and convicted at Exeter along with another man, Oliver, as the perpetrators of a murder near Morcton Hampstead. The chief witness against him was a woman then lying in gaol, who procured her release as a conse quence of the evidence she gave. Galley had no counsel, but he did not cease to protest his innocence ; and after the con viction of the pair Oliver acknowledged his own guilt, but declared the other to be innocent. Mr (now Sir) Montague Smith, who was counsel for Oliver, is a witness to his own be ief in Galley’s inno cence. But the matter does not rest there. As soon as the trial terminated at Exeter some of the younger members of the bar who were interested in it came forward to help a MrClierer, a sliort-liand writer who attended the Court, to ex amine into the case further ; and after a conference with the prisoner it was thought an alibi could be proved. Mr Cherer’s investigations led him to lay before the Home Office evidence that Galley was at Dart ford, in Kent, on the day of the murder, and Sir Frederick Roe, then Chief Magistrate at Bow-street, was sent down, Mr Montague Smith ac companying him, to examine the evidence. Sir Montague Smith says the alibi was established to his satisfaction and to the satisfaction of Sir Frederick Roe, but it is fair to add that no statement to this effect on the part of Sir Frederick Roe is on record in the Home Office. Tlie papers there go to show that the gentle man expressed no opinion when making his report. The report itself was laid before Lord Denman, and that Lord Chief Justice was not convinced. It is from his decision that an appeal was practically made to the House, and as the House had the same materials of evidence before it as he had, the appeal was not at once to be scouted. When everything had been said, the result was that many, probably most, members were convinced of Galley’s innocence, and many were left in doubt, but probably no one was convinced of his guilt. The scruples of the Home Secretary and tlie self-respect of Parlia ment led to any formal expression of Galley’s innocence being laid aside, but all concurred in his full restitution, through the prerogative of pardon, to the rights of innocence.

The Jury of Matrons.

A curious incident occurred at the Criminal Court of the Old Bailey, Lon don, after the woman named Webster had been tried and convicted of murdering her mistress at Richmond under circum stances of great brutality. After sen tence had been passed upon her 1 she pleaded, as a stay of execution, that she was soon to become a mother. Upon this plea the judge dismissed the jury by whom a verdict of guilty had been found,

and within ten minutes thereafter a jury of matrons, selected from the crowd of females in the gallery, was impanelled and sworn to give a true verdict on the issue. The matron of the prison was first called. She testified that the prisoner had been under her charge since the 24th May, that she had made such exanination in her case four days before as was cus tomary where women were charged with murder, and did not think the statement

correct. The judge, not satisfied with the testimony of one person on the sub ject, directed that the prisoner be taken from tlie bar to a side room, and that there, in the presence of the jury of matrons, further inquiry he made with the aid of a skilful physician. The report

of the latter was adverse to the prisoner’s statement. Judge Denman then seemed at a loss what to do. He remarked that “ after thirty-two years in the profession he had never been at an inquiry of the sort. ” Mr Avery, who conducted the prosecution, and whom the judge called “ one of tlie most experienced criminal

lawyers in England,” said the same thing, and Mr Sleigh, an old practitioner, who defended the prisoner, said : “ I also, my lord, have never had such experience. ” Tlie judge in summing up, said : “This is a very unusual enquiry, ladies of the

jury, and it has never happened to me before. The law is, if it be established to the satisfaction of a jury, that prisoner is as she claims to be, then the execution must be respited.” The jury women, after two or three minutes deliberation, stated that they had agreed upon their verdict, and rendered it to the effect that the woman was not in the condition she re presented. So the sentence stood with out stay. Rare as such an incident is, the right of summoning a jury of matrons in certain cases is a part of the common law of England, and hence, though fallen into disuse, may bo a part of tlie law in this country.

A Priest on Bankruptcy.

At tlie Roman Catholic Church last evening (says the Tima.ru “ Telegraph” of the Gth) The Rev. Father Chafcaigner preached on moral theology, making bankruptcy tlie special subject of his sermon. He asked the question whether a man under an} 7 circumstances was justified in filing a declaration of insol vency and becoming a bankrupt ; and answered it by saying be was. If u man’s affairs became so involved that he could not possibly meet Iris engagements with creditors, he was justified in availing himself of tlie protection wliicli the law afforded him. This, however, would not relieve him from liability according to the law of God. If ever lie attained a posi tion which would enable him to pay the debts which he had not then satisfied, lie was bound by the law of God to pay the last fartliing of them. When a gentleman by any misfortune became a bankrupt, he redoubled his exertions again until he ob tained sufficient means to pay off Iris liabilities. He then felt that he had re deemed his honor ? that he could stand up in society once more ; and that he could take his place among his equals. He (the rev. preacher) was afraid that that spirit of honor was dying oit now-a days, and that most people sunk their honor in their purses. The law referring to bankruptcy had been made to protect honest men when they happened to meet with misfortunes, but a great many dis honest men availed themselves of it, and it was very much abused. People resor ted to a great' many dishonest tricks under its operation. He had heard of a man who bought a dray one day, sold it the next day, and pocketing the proceeds, went on the third day and filed a declara tion of insolvency, without giving any ac count of the money he had thus received. Such a man could not be called anything else but a thief and a cheat. He knew very well when he bought the dray that he was going bankrupt, and could have had no other intention in buying it than to cheat the owner out of it. This, how ever, had not happened in tlie parish of Tiinaru, nor in the next parish to it. Other men settle their property on tlieir wives, daughters, or some friend, who kept it safely from them until they had gone through the Court, and then they began again. Such men were wise ac cording to the world, but the wisdom of the world was folly in the eyes of God. They were bound to pay, the last farthing of their lawful debts ; and no earthly law could relieved them of the liability. A man should not favor one creditor to the loss of his other creditors. For instance, if a person owed one man £2O, and another £lO, and had only £2O to pay them, he should not pay the £2O to jvlioni it was due, but should divide it between bis two creditors. This was a delicate subject be had to treat of, and it was with reluctance that he referred to it, but lie was bound to instruct them (the con gregation) and he had to do it. He was glad, however, that there wore few be longing to his own congregation to whom it could refer personally, and that made it easier for him to treat of it.

Mr Sheehan’s Private Character.— The “ N.Z Times ” on Mr Sheehan says : “Mr Sheehan certainly made a good speech last night. Many, if not most, of his hearers were in accord with him when he said that lie claimed that so long as he could do his public business, and do it thoroughly and well, liis personal character did not concern the House or the country. But it is only fair to remind our readers that it is exceedingly doubt ful whether it is possible for a Minister who claims to exercise an unusual amount of personal influence to avoid forfeiting that influence by personal failings which are calculated to lower him in the eyes of the very natives in whom he wishes to inspire respect and confidence, both in himself and in the law which he re presents.
