His He^ig&^^^^gil; that some arrange ment shoukt^|^p^ before judgment was Mr mitakerlpKhe ,^as willing to pay plaintiffs a reasonable amount of rates Mr Eees said the difficulty in the way of an arrangement was that other people refused to pay their rates until this case was settled His Honor then gave judgment, and in doing so said that the case was surrounded with innumerable difficulties owing to the confusion of the Highways Acts. It was not to be wondered at if mistakes had been made by the Board in striking the rate. He thought tne objections raised by Mr Whitaker that the original and;not a copy of|the assessment roll.had been sent to the Superintendent, and also that the signatures of the trustees in the rate book had not been proved, were con clusive that the rate had not been levied in accordance with the Highways Act.

The election cannot take place till October unless Gillies resigns, in which case there would be two Superintendal elections olose together. Regarding Gillies' recent reply to the de putation, he said the paucity of immigration to Auckland was owing to the neglect of the General Government. The Independent says Mr Gillies formerly told the Minister of Land and Works that eight hundred im migrants would be too many for Auckland, and appeared to think that generally im migration was not much wanted in Auckland. It accuses Mr Gillies of subsequently shifting his ground. The Eyes enquiry is likely to terminate favorabbly to him.

They would report at the next meeting. !■ ' : The report was adopted. The Chairman read a letter from Dr Kidd, resigning his office as classical master of the Grammar School.

It was resolved that the letter be referred to the Grammar-school Inquiry. Committee.

A PUGNACIOUS SCHOLMA.STEN. A letter from the Kaurihorihori school committee was read to the effect that Mr J. L. Sinclair, teacher, had attended one of their meetings and called members of com mittee liars, and used such violent language as necessitated his being expelled from the room. They wished the Board to recom mend some other teacher. ;

The committee did not wish Mr Sinclair merely to be dismissed, but to be " removed from the district."

Consideration of the letter was deferred till next meeting. It was agreed, that intimation be given to the local committee that the Board have no objection to the appointment of Mr McMurdoch as teacher at the termination of Mr Sinclair's engagement. COLLECTION OF RATE. The Secretary reported that the rate-rolls of Parnell and the city were ready, and in the possession of the Government, and it only remained to appoint collectors.

Mr Sibbin detailed the circumstances attend ing the first meeting. He had been told that the meeting would be held at seven o'clock, and he put his watch right by the town cloefc. Everything was done in due order. The statements in the papers that morning were quite incorrect. The first meeting con cluded at eleven minutes past seven o'clock. Mr Brown stated that the people were misled by the schoolmaster sending home word that the meeting would be held at half-past seven. He was there at ten minutes past, and the first meeting was over. The second committee was quite willing to resign if the other committee did, and he was instructed to call a public meeting to urge upon the Board the propriety of abolish - ing the district and causing a new election. Mr. Lusk said Mr. "Worthington, the tea cher, denied Mr. Brown's statement in toto. Mr Eeed also detailed the proceedings at the first meeting. The business was com menced at four or five minutes past seven, and was conducted in a regular way. He could prove that there was no other meeting held until after half-past seven. On the motion of Mr Boylan it was re solved that the first meeting was valid, an amendment, moved by Mr Philips, that the question stand over until next meeting of the Board being thrown out. THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE. Tho report of the scholarship committee was read. The committee had met and re solved, with reference to the case of the lad Rigg, "That each boy became a candidate on the Ist of November, and that therefore P..

They recommend in the case of the two lads who made an equal number of marks that each candidate receive free tui tion at the Grammar School for the specified time, and that the amount.aUowed be di vided between them."

The report was adopted.
