i <$^M^m&i *' s^ou^ aye ho* remuneration. I. "."^jpetters, continued his Worship, will Up, have to go to Wellington, where W$ _."•"•'"matter would be more closely investi -1 I /d. . ■ I I mother passage in another letter expressed % \ r Jone's regret that Mr Anderson could not %?ike the editorship of the new paper. This was dated October 4. Mr Rees begged to offer this letter in evidence.

Mr Lusk objected, as it contained Mr Jones' opinions respecting the Event no Star. (The substance of the letter was to the effect that the new paper was to be started for the purpose of crushing down the Star.) His Worship said that Mr Rees was perfectly right in tendering the letter in evidence if it bore upon the case. He had not heard the contents. Mr Lusk said he should object to Mr Bees reading the letter ia Court, without he was allowed to put his pen through cer tain passages, or the whole contents would soon become public property. Mr Rees : You are very tender upon the subject. Mr Lusk: 1 have a duty to perform to my client. Examination continued by Mr Rees : He remembered a draft from Mr Anderson for £10, but it was never presented to him. The endorsement in blue pencil), stating the amount had been paid before, was not his. He believed the draft was mislaid. He never saw it. Mr Rees : Will you tell me one place where your correspondent is now receiving £1 per column ? Mr Jones : I won't answer that question. Mr Rees : Mr Jones says he won't answer that question. I must ask the Court to commit him. Mr Jones : I have no correspondent who is paid by the column; I arranged to pay, but correspondents send in their accounts by the week, and as they were reasonable I paid them. I will not give the names of any of my correspondents. He "understood the paragraph wherein Mr Anderson spoke of extra work in wiring so frequently requiring extra pay, as such work involved a great deal of time. He could not understand why he should make a new arrangement when he had agreed with him for £1 per column. C. O. Montrose deposed that he considered £1 per week fair remuneration for a corres pondent. In cross-examination he said that the pay ment would depend on the instruction. If special and difficult instructions were given the payment would be more. He was not aware that Mr Sherrin received £4 a week for acting as special correspondent of the Auckland Evening Star in Wellington. This concluded the evidence, and the de positions will be sent to Wellington. This was all the business.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS

NAPIER.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Reception of the Roman Catholic

Bishop. The Bishop of Wellington arrived here last evening and-was met by crowds of Roman Catholics, v?ho formed a procession over a quarter of a-mile in length, headed by a band-carriage. The Bishop was drawn by four horses and conveyed to the Catholic boys' school, where he was arrayed in the Episcopal robes, and then walked between two rows of the members of St. Mary's Church congregation beneath a triumphal arch, the whole being lighted up brilliantly with blue lights. He received an address and preached a sermon. Alienation of Town Reserves.

Much indignation is expressed in corres pondence to the Telegraph concerning the alienation of town reserves for educa tional purposes. At the last session of the Provincial Council a Select Committee recommended the Superintendent to lease the town reserves to obviate an Edu cation rate. This was done, but it was always understood the rents would be paid to the Corporation, on the town obtaining a Corporation. It appears now that the re serves have been permanently alienated and vested in trustees, consequently the Corpora tion starts with no income. The Superin tendent offers the Corporation £100 a year from toll gate receipts for the "maintenance of the main street, which will cost £1,200 to keep repaired. It is considered that the Provincial Council, having nobbled the town reserves for provincial purposes, will refuse to hand over the publicans' licenses and wharves to the Corporation. The Telegraph condemns the payment of capitation grants to schools which are profitable establish ments to the masters. The Napier common schools are fortunes to the masters.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Gambling Scandal. Another correspondent telegraphs the fol lowing account of the scandal, wired to us yesterday :—" Some naughty spirits at that place, sacred to the orgies of gentlemen only, * short time ago got up a sly little game of unlimited. Winning and losing nothing here and there, except in the case of one young bumpkin who dropped £100. It appears he was obliged to tap his governor to meet his liabilities. The oil gent, in a fury, rushed off and interviewed a very high dignitary, indeed, who, he supposed, had some influence over the young blood, who was the winner of the £100. It is said he told the old gentle man his son was old enough to take care of himself and his money, and that, he sup posed, if other gentlemen lost they would have paid without any complaint; and he, therefore, civilly declined to iuterfere. Mr. Pownall Invents again. Mr Pownall, in a letter to the Times, says he has invented a machine," which will enable the hundreds of thousands of tons of manilla, pineapple, aloe, and other valuable fibres wasted every year in the West Indian Islands and tropical America to be worked up. He blames the indifference and apathy of the Government, in entailing upon him individually the. ex- Einne of sending tho machine to the exhi . ti©n that would reflect so much credit

upon New Zealand. People have come to doubt Pownall, for he generally jprofesses about every six months to have perfected a flax dressing machine, and to have finally solve the flax difficulty.

Two con traits are already let. Applications have been received for nearly double the required capital. Scarcity of Labour. Shipmasters complain of the scarcity of hands at the port, when 2s an hour is offered in vain. Position of the "New Zealand Times." Referring to an article in the New Zealand Times <>f the 13th, the Star says the course that journal is taking is unfair to the Ministry and country, as it gains the public ear by false pretences, and adds, "we are sufficiently aware of the relationship of the Times to the Ministry as to be justified in stating that it has no claim whatever to be considered a Government organ. Further, it expresses a view which not a responsible Minister entertains."

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Company.) Thursday. In the case between the two Fire Brigades, evidence was in favor of the plaintiff, though the occurrence arose out of a mistake/ Some spray from the Wellington's hose wetting some of the men of the other company acci dentally in the first instance, and the hose was turned upon Whiteford in retaliation.

Daniel Pollen. The powers ex cepted are those conferred by sections 21, 40, 48, 60, 96, and 107. This day. The Times is requested to state that there is no foundation whatever for the statements contained in a telegram from the South to the effect that timber in certain railway bridges inOtago and Canterbury is rotten. The Half-million Windfall. The Times also contradicl s the statement published in the| Evening Post, that the Government has just received news of half a-miliion being placed to its credit in the Bank by some unknown agency, and says it was neither sent by nor passed through the manager of t*ie Wellington branch of the Bank of New Zealand. New Lighthouse. The islands known as the Brothers, in Cook Strait, has been reserved as a site for a lighthouse. Mr Prouse, long connected with the Customs department, of New Plymouth, is about to proceed to Auckland, being pro moted to a higher grade. Arrived— Marmion and Cynthia, from Kaipara. New Customs Regulations. Some little outcry having been made against the proposed regulations as to the transhipment of dutiable goods, the Times says repeated instances have come to light of the transhipped cargoes having been broached; ! but it has always been found impossible to recover the duty under the present system. "Bonded goods will be shipped, as hereto fore, only during Custom hours, after which the batches, when bonded goods are aboard, must be secured, but many vessels have more than one hatch, and were they have not they will probably construct a bulkhead, so that bonded goods ; may be secured, and the business of the vessel proceed as now. It appears that a very, small adaptation will enable our coasting vessels to comply with the regulations, and the interest of trade and revenue be advanced by the proposed change." , Mr o'Shea rrep6rts : Flour (easing), £12 to £13 ; oats (new), 4s 3d; (old), 4s 9d; maize, 6s 6d.
