The Evening Star. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1870.

Theke is a motion of a very interest ing character on the notice paper of the Provincial Coundil/totbaßaOvMby Mr. P. A. Philips: " That a respect ful address be presented to Hifc Honor

the Superintendent requesting him to take steps at the first ineetirg of the G-eneral Assembly, to introduce a bill empowering him to close the. ; .b,urial grounds in Symonds-street, arid to make provision in lieu^thejeof".",,; %\ may seem at first sight rather a round about way for attaining the object inj tended, by instituting the movement in the Provincial Council; but there can not be a doubt that a subject involving so many interests, and the tenderest feelings of which our humanity is capable, is wisely submitted to the consideration of our local legislature ; and that opinions there expressed, will weigh with the members of the General' Assembly should the movement take the form indicated. The deleterious; effect of cemetries on the health of a community resident in their immediate neighbourhood is no longer a subject of question; and the uniform .a.ctipn of most of the large cities and towns in the mother country bears testimony •to a general conviction that the last resting place of departed friends should be removed from the neigh bourhood of the living. However cleanly and properly a cemetery may be kept, however absent any sensible, effluvium from the" bodies mouldering^ in decay, however disinfecting the acknowledged power of the ¥tfil,"it is admitted that gases do escape, bear ing in them thetJeeds of sickness and" mortality ; and t"he, tendency which cholera and other maladies ""■fchaFFeeH" on the poison of miasma, have shown to make their hiiMe^ti'tnfe'iiei^hbour- hood of city cemeteries affords conclu sive testimony to-the wisdom-of- ceas ing to inter the dead in the midst of the homes of the living. But irrespeotive^oi^thesfe SaH'atOry.' grounds, it is time that in out- own circumstances provision on a more ex r fended scale should \e ri^de for^thje HlarialW the'eteadbf fche-tity. Tlfe extent of the grounds at present de voted to the purpose is wholly in adequate,- and a necessity jwdii • very, shortly arise, if it do'eVnoi at present

exist, for the more decent burial of the dead. The crowded state of some of the graves, and the total impossibility of any extension of the present grounds necessitate a change, and it is satis factory to observe.that Mr. Philips, who as Chairman of the City Board, is specia|ly charged with the interests of; r citizens,:,lias taken the matter in hatticU'.. The closing of a cemetery will naturally give rise to feelings some times of a painful kind. Of course there is not contemplated any interference with the sacred dust, or disturbance of that repose associated in our minds with the last resting place of those who have turned aside from the fevered anxieties of life; but there is a .sacred feeling with some involved in the de sire that they* should at last mingle their ashes with kindred dust; and we cannot avoid a tender sympathy with those who, united in life, in death would not be divided. And whatever legislation there may be on the sub ject, the closing of the cemeteries must not be rigorously and peremptorily effected ; but, for many years to come, occasional concessions must be made to the sacred feelings of bereavement, and from time to time the gates of the cemetery should be opened to- gratify last wishes earnestly expressed, and to permit the loving in life to sleep side by side in death. On these con ditions there can be no valid objection toTthe:wise proposal of Mr. Phillips ; arid we feel confident that in his hands the matter will be so judiciously and tenderly treated as to cause no distress to feelings 'of affectionate remem brance.

Should the measure proposed re ceive the legislative sanction desired, great care should be used in the selec tion of our future burial ground. It should be sufficiently removed from the city to obtain an extensive area, without exorbitant expense, and to prevent the necessity of its further re moval for many generations. At the same time it should not be so far re moved as to needlessly increase the burial expenses of the poor. In no way could the various qualifications desirable in a cemetery be so well ob tained as by selecting a site on the line of,the .future "Waikato railway, after thfe banner of "the Haslem's Creek cemetery at Sydney: By such an ar rangement, and with funeral cars on the railway, and with funeral trains at stated hours, when the necessities of the population required them, the ex penses of funeral obsequies are not in creased ; and with all the advantages of distance, the graveyard is practically in the neighbourhood of surviving friends. It is sincerely to be desired that the subject will receive that con sideration * and judicious treatment which is due to its importance, and to its tender- an!d"' sacred and solemn character.

FIRES AND ROBBERIES AT KAIPARA.

A eibe occurred at Helensville on Friday ', which \is r supposed, to be,' the work of aii incendiary. The house was burnt to the ground, and had it not been for the ■Wet4ionS'ofv Mn -,A -R. *'3.' Vercoej'' the cither building 3 adjoining (all belonging to Mqssrs. ■Brown, Campbell and Co.) would have shared the same fate.-—This portion of the country is in a very unprotected state, even though fjh>re are a court house and lockup, and a R. M., but who is mostly absent on native business. .There is bis clerk, however,'and a man in charge of a cutter belonging to the G-overn ment, which has now cost the country many hundreds of pounds. Money is found for such things as these, but none to protect the property of those who pay the taxes. Why should these two men not be made policemen, so that the settlers migTit have at least a vestige of protection when anything occurs? — Two stores have been broken into within the las.t two jweelss, at, jlelensville, and) a"consider able amount of property Stolen ; and all; this within a few hundred yards of the court house, and before the settlers can send! into Auckland to report, of course the lapse of •tiiqe'Jbeing so great that it is next to useless to do SO. —[COBBESPONDENT.] •

THE MUBDEE, OF ME. TODD. We yesterday published the intelligence of the attack made by armed Hauhaus on the surveying party of Mr. Todd, and the murder of this gentleman. At the time of our going to press there has not come to the Native Office any further account of tho sad affair. The indications, how ever, are that the origin of the attack has been more of a private than a public nature. We have, however, made every enquiry, and hasten to place before our readers the whole of the information which may be considered reliable. Mr. Todd, who resided at Raglan, and was well known both amongst Europeans and natives, was engaged at the time of his murder in the service of the Govern ment. A block of land of some thousands of acres, at this side of the confiscated line, had. been granted by the. Govern ment to Hone te One and his tribe, in compensation for lands which had bpen taken from them during the war. Mr. Todd was engaged to cut up this block so as to permit of Crown Grants being issued to the native owners. Hone te One expressed a wish that this land should not be surveyed, and had warned Mr. Todd that to do so would be dangerous. Several warnings had been given, moreover, in other quarters, that to interfere with, regard to the block would, be impolitic. The Pirongia natives, had, it appears, felt some alarm in consequence of two dig gers having made an attempt, a short time since, to prospect for gold. A band of thirty armed Hauhaus set out in pursuit of the prospectors, but, fortu nately, were laughed out of their deadly intentions by a peaceable native. The Rev. Mr. Sehnackenberg, who resides at Raglan, states, however, that the native mind had been in a very unsettled state' ever since that evrat. Mr. Todd found the aukati line almost obliterated, aad had applied for instructions as to whether he should re-survey and cut the same. His exact position, at the time of the murder, we have not ascertained, but it was probably within the aukati. Prom what we can learn the affair appears to have been a kind of ambuscade. The attacking party is said to have been small and to have included two women. Mr. Fritzell and a party we're working on the same block with Mr.'Todd, but the two parties had not seen one another for more than a week. Intelligence has been received that Pritzell and party are safe. The name of the half-caste, wounded at the time of Todd's murder, is f^apera. Colonel Lyons, who is in the district, telegraphed to Dr. Pollen yesterday evening, stuting that no panic existed amongst the Euro pean settlers in consequence of the out-1 rage, and that all was quiet. The general .belief amongst those well versed in native matters, and most competent to judge, is that the murder was committed by King na tives. Of course thie Government wiil institute the strictest enquiry, and will demand of' the King the bodies of the murderers. We do not wish to assume to ourselves the task of pointing' ;out to the Government a plain duty, but we cannot but state our conviction, which we share in common with many others, that the presence of an armed vessel at Kawhia would effectually prevent the recurrence of anything of this kind—in fact would render the King party powerless. The King natives are supplied with fish, their staple diet, from the harbour of Kawhia, and the fact of the presence of an armed vessel upon their fishing grounds, ready to cut off their supplies at any moment, would render them powerless.

£So doubt further intelligence will reach the city before the closing of the telegraph office to-night.

DISTRICT COURT.— Tuesday.

■ [Before Thomas Eeckbam, Esq., R.M.] The sitting of this Court was resumed at half past ten o'clock this morning. Donnelly v. Pye.—This case was heard on Monday. —A nonsuit was recorded. H. ST. Waeneb t. Kobekt Heywood.— This was an action brought; by the Official Agent to recover the books of the Tradesmen's Gold Mining Company. The plaintiff holds an order for the winding-up of the company.

He has been unable to proceed without the books, which were alleged to have been in the posspssibn of the defendant. —Mr. Eees, in structed by Mr. Lusk, appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Wynn for the defendant. —Mr. Warner deposed that he was Official Liquida tor, and that he was empowered to wind-up the Tradesmen's Gold Mining Company, but was unable to do so, not being in possession of the books.--Mr. H. H. Lusk deposed that, upon his resigning the management of the Trades men's G-old Mining Company, he sent the books to the defendant, who had been ap pointed manager of the company. —The Court was addressed at considerable length by the counsel on both sides, after which.a nonsuit was accepted. Nolan t. Ryan.—This case was adjourned until next Court-day.

Russell and Mr. Hesketh for the Official Agent (the plaintiff), who sued all the shareholders of this company to pay their fair con tributions towards winding-up the com pany ; Messrs. Rees, Kissling, and Weston ap peared, for various of the defendants, who denied their liability. After the long list of defendants had been read over, Mr. Hesketh, on behalf of the Official Agent, withdrew the whole of the cases, as there was a fatal ob jection to his getting a verdict. — Mr. Rees and Mr. Weston applied for their clients' costs.—Mr. Hesketh said it was very question able whether the Court had power to order costs.—The question of costs was argued at some length, but it will be settled at a future date.

Official Ag-ent v. Bon Accokd Gold Mining Company.—Mr. Rees for the plain tiff. —A long list of names was called ovnr. None of them answered to their names.—The plaintiff gave evidence to the various amounts with which the defendants were assessed.— The necessary orders were made.

I had drink with the person that had brought me in. One that had came in after wards produced cards from his pocket, and they played among themselves at first. They afterwards asked me to- play. There were three cards used in the game. They said to me, if I gave them £5 they would show me the game and return me the money. I did so. After seeing the game, I asked them to give back tlie^money ; they said yes they would return it. They showed me the faces of the cards, then shuffled them. (Witness described the card trick as played). I did nob bet. I lost £8. The man that had brought the cards put my money in his pocket. They said they would not give me the£s unless I gave them £3. They caught my hand and took tho £3. They had played, one game among themselves before asking me to join them. No money whs placed on the table or passed between thorn. —Cross-examined by Mr. MacConmick : There being no case of gambling made out, the charge was dismissed.

Wynn and Mr. Joy.—Hene Whare, wife of last_ witness, deposed to the . circumstances previously narrated. —The three learned counsel for the defence severally addressed the Bench.—The Court held that the case was proved against all the prisoners.

BURGLARY AT THE REV. MR. LUSH'S RESI DENCE.

Last night about 8 o'clock the residence of the Rev. Mr. Lush was broken into and a large number of va uable articles stolen therefrom. The thief entered through a side window, which was left unfastened, shortly before the rev. gentleman and hia family returned from church. It appears that as Mr. Lush was returning to his home after service he noticed a light burning in his dwelling, and hastened to ascertain the cause. On arriving at the front door he noticed a person decamping the back way, and on pursuing him found he had a number of articles of wearing apparel, &c, stolen from the house. The rev-: gentleman pursued some distance, but was ultimately compelled to give in. The thief, finding he was pursued, and apparently recognising his pur suer, turned his head aside as he was running, and said, "If you come too near me, sir, I'll shoot you." The pursuit was kept up across the creek, and over fences, until the thief had disappeared. Several articles of wear ing apparel, a bill-hook, some silver, and other very valuable property, were picked up on the road traversed by the thief in his flight. Information was at once given to the police, and the search renewed, but but without success. Amongst the articles rais3ed were a presentation gold watch, value £25, the property of Miss Lush; a purse con taining money and a brooch left by Miss Martin, of the Tamaki, who was recently on a visit to the the reverend gentleman's ; a purse and money, the amount of which is not known, belonging to Mr. Lu*h,a brooch belonging to Miss Lush, silver-plate, spoons, &c, which have not yet been recovered, i nor has any further trace of the burglar been detected.— Thames Evening Mail.

■ The anniversary services of the Newton Con gregational Sunday School were held on Sun day last, and were very successful, the collec tions, amounting to £10 13s, being larger than on any previous occasion. The soiree will be held this evening.
