AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

A very large meeting of the members of the jfew Zealand Agricultural Association was held this afternoon in the British hotel, Mr Wm. Goodfellow in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Secretary and adopted. MrGoodfellow said that certain sheep had l>een imported for New Zealand from Tas mania with/the foot and mouth disease, but before arriving in this colony they had been destroyed. He had been requested to bring this, matter before the meeting for their consideration in order that some steps might be taken for the prevention of this disease. It was resolved on the motion of Mr Albyn Martin, seconded by Mr Calvert, •' That the attention of the Government be called to the fact in order to tho prevention of the disease entering the province.'*

A CASE OP HARDSHIP.

(To the Editor of the Evening S^ae.) Bib,—When a ship arrives in New Zealand U»ters with Government emigrants, the officer appointed to take temporary charge of them on boarding that vessel puts this question to them, " Have you any complaint to make of the treatment you have received during the voyage at the hands of the captain, officers, crew, or fellow passengers ?" If complaints are made, a committee of investigation is appointed to minutely examine the particulars and sift the matter to the very bottom. After hearing all the evidence that can be brought forward, the information thus obtained is forwarded to Wellington for consideration of its merits or demerits as tbe case may be. Now all this it highly right and proper, but prithee, Mr Editor, are the same or any pains taken to protect the new arrivals from injustice and cruelty,after leaving the depOt and drafted into employment ? Are the characters of the several' employers on the depot's books itrictly enquired into, and if proved doubt ful, are they refused the male or female labour they seek ? (I refer mainly to the un* Banied girls.) Are written agreements drawn up or printed forms filled up and signed by employers, witnessed by the officer himself, that the rate of wages proffered— (the nature •ad amount of labour required at the hands of the young women should be assured to them and insisted upon)—in a word are any more pains taken in protecting their interests than if they had been as many sheep at a oittlfra&le ? The following incident lam of opinion will throw some light on the subject, and act as a guide in directing the judgment of ttie public:—"A young girl from the North of Belaud came to Auckland a few months back By the Queen of Nations, and was engaged by the landlord of a certain hotel in City Ewt as housemaid, the wages being 10s per mek. In that place she has up to a few jtoys back remained. The landlord hav ing. got into difficulties discharged the girl, giving her an excellent written cha racter, brit not one farthing of wages. The poor girl pleaded that she was a ' stranger in the land;' that she had neither father, another, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, or cousin to whom she could apply for food and •helter until she obtained another situa tion; that the little money Bhe had drawn on account had been all ex pended (not in personal adornment), but in absolute necessaries of clothing; that she had not a sixpence to pay for a bed or purchase a.meaJ,—^ deaf ear was turned to her intreat »«to be paid her hardly earned wages. She WW turned out of doors. Yes 1.

A RIGHTFUL SWING ADVENTURE.

She had v UTely up to this point, but

all of a sudden she became quiet, and the r-rt of the ladies were- awe-strioken, and when the unfortunate girl was hurled through.S feet from the ground, apd lodged her safely! and securely between twd ; branches at the point where they joined the trunk of & tfeeJ J^chrtood about 38 feet,from' the tree to which the rope was attached. The fright hSI* err?r^ f th? party below can be better imagined than described as the swing came reeling backward, while its formed occupant was lying apparently life n *? „the ' Ranches of the tree, it was fully twenty feet from the ground to - tne nrst limb above, and the trunk of the tree about three feet in diameter. The swing was hurriedly taken down and in an instant one end of the rope was thrown over the limbs of the other .tree and secured below. But this means two gentlemen of the party hurriedly went up the rope, and in a few minutes were at the side of the unfortunate girl. She was just return ing to consciousness, and the force of her fall had so securely wedged her be tween the trunk and the limbs as tore quire no little effort to extricate her. Miss Johnson at once realized her fearful situa tion. She was pale and weak, but still had the good sense to do as the gentleman desired. The rope was pulled up, a slipknot was made, and then passed around her body under her arms, the other end passed around her limb, and in this manlier she was lowered to the ground in safety. With the aid of the waggon -cushions and several shawls a couch was arranged upon which the young lady was placed, and soon regained her strength and composure.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

(Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Esq., Chief Justice). Williamson v. improvement commissioners demurrer. Mr T. B. Gillies, with Mr Hesketh, ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr McCormick, with Mr Lusk, for the defendants. Mr Gillies in opening the case said this was originally an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants to recover the amount of a verdict in judgment asses sed by a jury duly summoned under the Land Clauses Consolidation Act, 1863, which is incorporated with the Auckland Improvement Act, .1873, forj determining the amount of compensation for land taken in the terms of the Act. The declaration set forth that the defendants being a corporation within the meaning of the Act, did on the 17th day of April give notice to the plaintiff that they required to take certain land, and in the same notice called upon him to state what was his interest and claim in such land, plaintiff being informed that defendants were prepared to treat for the same. It went on to state that within 21 days from the said notice plaintiff did not render such account of his interest and claim in the land, and the parties did not agree as to the amount to be paid in compensation. On the 29th of May defendants gave notice to the plaintiff that they were willing to allow £3000 for com pensation for the land. This was refused, \ upon which defendants gave notice that they intended to summon a jury to assess the amount to be paid for'the plaintiff's interest | in the land. On the 9th June, 1874, plaintiff gave notice that he wished the compensation tobe assessed by a special jury. He after wards called^ upon the Sheriff to issue a warrant for the summoning of a special jury. Notice was duly given to the defendants, and on the 2nd of July .the jury met, plain tiff and defendant being present, and after investigating the matter returned a verdict for the sum of £5,500. The verdict was then signed by the registrar and recorded. To that declaration a plea had been ,put in by the defendants which, in his (Mr Gillies') opinion in some respects, indicated a misapprehension of the nature and ground of the declaration. It set forth that .the defendants had not at any time taken possession of or entered upon plaintiff's land, and that such land had not been injuriously affected by any works of the defendants. This was not alleged in the declaration. Then it insists that within three months from the giving notice of the taking of such land by the defend ants, viz., on the 17th July the defendants; under and in pursuance of such act had given plaintiff further notice that they wished to withdraw their former notice.

Mr Gillies was arguing in favour of the demurrer when our reporter left.
