■(From our own Correspondent), This day.

HAMILTON.

prom our own Correspondent.] This day.

TheNominatioii for waipa. The nomination for the representation oi Waipa in the Provincial Council took place yesterday. The writ having been read by the Return ing Officer, Major Mair, Mr John Knox, of Hamilton, proposed Mr McMinn.

The Returning Officer objected that Mr Knox's name was not on the roll.

Mr Norris disputed the validity of the roll on grounds of incorrectness and of its being headed Roll of persons entitled to vote for a member of the House of Representatives, and not Provincial Council.

Mr McMinn was then proposed by Mr Giffeney, and seconded by Major Thomas Wilson.

Mr Samuel Steele then proposed Mr Morris in the following address: " The gentleman I propose i have known some years as a true and faithful public servant, who, notwitha_anding the urgency of his own private affairs, always found time to serve the piiblic. He is thorougly familiar with and. willing to devote his time to the provincial duties and requirements." M_- Joseph Hinton seconded. 'McMinn addressed a few milk and watery ■words to the electors.

Mr Morris said he was glad to find that " Jones " had at last become " fully alive " to the fact that he had no chance, and re tired. He admitted that provincial institu tions had run themselves out, but before voting for their total abolition, he would Jake to see the. General Government on a better basis. Education should be « general scheme for the colony under a Minister of Education. The present dis graceful mode of raising funds by tax to be abolished, and funds taken from the general revenue. Boards of Education, like Pro vincial Institutions, expend not only a large share of rates, but also the revenue from endowments in and around Auckland. If the money raised by districts were ex pended in the same district, the country schools would be in a much better position. Main highways should "be kept open and repaired by the Government, who should open all main lines, and not simply one, as in this district. Lines should be opened to Waipa, Kaglan, Piako, &c. A large amount of road rates was uselessly expended for want of engineering skill. He would give young men in the colony land under the Special Settlement Act as well as new arrivals. Land should not be sold to private persons without improvement clause being Inserted in part. The show of hands resulted—McMinn, 10; Morris, 9. Several electors showed hands, and a poll was demanded by Mr Morris, to take place on Saturday next. A vote of thanks to the Retnrning Officer terminated the proceedings.

Tasmanian Timber Condemned

Of the cargo of blue gum from Hobarfcon, «x Freetrader, for the construction of the Waipawa and other railway bridges, a large quantity has been condemned by the Go vernment officials. The timber is an honest cargo, only wind shaken. Beck and Tonks, of Wellington, the importers, stand at a loss ola thousand pounds on the cargo, and will doubtless try the issue at law. Faulty Railway Construction. The Telegraph draws attention to a num ber of men employed packing sleepers on the railway. It asserts that twenty-eight men are packing sleepers in eighteen miles, and states that the sleepers were laid on forma tion and the line was not ballasted before the "eepers were laid.

Two fresh oil springs blocks have passed through the Court, and numerous cases are entered for next sitting. The New Court House. The new Court-house is another architectu ral triumph of the Colonial Architect. Worse even than the House of Representatives before it was draped. It i_ absolutely impos sible to wear anything. The buildhig is ill shapedfc and its acoustic properties are bad. It is built of wood, and cost about £3000.

Native Case. The civil sittings commence to-day, and will possibly fill up next week. The Omara nui case comes on before a special jury on Monday. The native reserve claimed in this instance is by one of the ring, who wants to evict about sixty natives whose sole main tenance depend on this block. The case is an indictment for forcibly entry against the natives, and interrupting draining operations on another native reserve. The latter is a criminal case for a special jury. The Case with reference to the Mangaterere block is also being argued before the Judge, and is bringing out claims to survivorship and asserts that the majority value on each separate alienation was not given as under the Crown Grants Native Lands Act. Karaitiana, M.H.R., is the plaintiff and Mr F. Sutton, defendant. On the decision of this latter case will hang the validity of Mr Buckland's land transaction with the ring in this Province.

The cases are conducted for the natives by Messrs Sheehan, Izard and Travers.

THE NEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, BERESFORD STREET.

In our issue of Monday, the 24th May, we gave a short account of the work done by the congregation worshipping under theminis trations of the Rev. Warlow Davies, M.A. From the statement then made it was seen that an effort had been made during the past year, such as was exceedingly creditable to the members of the church. It was desired to open the new church free from debt, and no less than £3,250 had been raised towards thefund. Thecongregationnowintendto make an appeal to the public, a course in which they are, we think, fully justified, as such buildings as they are errecting are not merely an ornament to the city, but will remain a legacy to the people of Auckland for many years. The whole position of the Church is clearly set out in the following circular which has baen issued :—The congregation meeting for more than twenty years in the Albert street Chapel have found it necessary, in consequence of the dilapidated state of the old building, and the insufficiency of the accommodation provided therein, to under take the erection of a new Church. After considerable delay and difficulty, a site has been secured (in Beresford-street) which is central, commanding, and ample, having a frontage of 100 feet to Union-street, of 236 feet to Beresford-street, and having an approach of 30 feet from Pitt-street. A portion of the ground, measuring 100 feet square, has been reserved for a minister's house, to be erected at some future time. East of this a permanent building measuring 57 feet by 25 feet has been erected for school and other purposes. At present it is our place of worship. Next to this the Church is being now built. The material used is concrete. The dimensions of the building are 87 feet by 45 feet, outside measurement; accommodation is provided for 420 persons on the ground floor ; with a front gallery for 100 more ; and provision has been made for seating ultimately 750. Style,- Grecian (Doric). It is expected that the Church will be completed within a few months. The total cost of the site, Hall, and Church will be, as per last estimate, £4,200 Of this large amount £3,250, or more than three-fourths, have already been provided by the congregation, leaving £950 still to be raised in order to open the building without any encumbrance; and of this amount, £300 has been already promised by members of the building committee. We now appeal to our fellow citizens to aid us in raising the remainder. We base our appeal on these grounds:—l The building, al though .everely simple, will '>. an ornament to the city, and will be of a permanent character. 2. We are doing our best to have no debt upon it. 3. As a people we have i at all times cheerfully borne our part in, J ijhe efforts made for the good of the city. 1 4. No appeal has been made to the public on I our behalf for many years. 5. We have already raised the greater portion of the funds required. A list of the contributions received to date is attached. We shall take the liberty of waiting upon you shortly to solicit your help.—J. T. Warlow Davies, M.A., minister; F. Matthews, Secretary. May, 1875."

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

BOND V. WITH-FORD.—JUDGMENT. His Honor delivered the following judgment in this case, which was heard about six weeks ago and, it will be recollected, involved the important point whether a married woman can make a will. .-,,., In this case the plaintiff claims to recover from the defendant certain title deeds of land, to which claim the defendant pleads a title to the land and the deeds by virtue of a will of the plaintiff's deceased wife, to which plea the plaintiff has demurred. The facts are these :—The plaintiff, Bond, about the year 1847, purchased a piece of land from one Arthur, and Arthur, at the request and by the direction of the plaintiff (testified by-his execution of the conveyance), con veyed the land by. deed, according to the Conveyancing Ordinance,- to Mary Bond, wife of the plaintiff, to hold .the same " unto the said Maty Bond to the n»e 'of 'her the

said Mary Bond, her heirs and assigns for ever." In thfe re'eitalS of the deed, the'plain tiff states that, "being desirous of making some provision for his wife," he has requested Arthur so to convey to his wife. The wife, during coverture, made a will devising the land to trustees (represented by the defend ant), for the benefit of her children. Having children by the plaintiff, she died, leaving him and them surviving. He claims to be tenant by the curtesy, and so entitled to custody of the title deeds. The defendant as trustee claims under the will. The plain tiff claims, as tenant by the curtesy, that the land so conveyed to his wife was not conveyed as a separate estate, and that she therefore could not by will dispose thereof. The trustee on the other hand claims that the land was separate estate, of which Mrs Bond had power to dispose} and which she had disposed of^ by -will, notwithstanding her coVerture. The case was very ably argued by Mr Hesketh, on behalf of the defendant, but I am unable to agree with his conclusions. The authorities quoted do not go to the extent that words, such as those used in the conveyance to Mrs Bond, would amount to a conveyance for her sole and separate Use. Nor do I think that the phraseology of the Conveyancing Ordinance at all helps the argument. The power there given to a husband to convey direct to his wife, or a wife to her husband, is a mere conveyancing convenience, not a provision intending to alter the existing rights of the parties. The preamble of the Conveyancing Ordinance supports this interpretation, and I feel bound to decide that the Conveyance of 1847, conferred iipbn the deceased Mrs Bond, no such separate estate as would en able her to dispose of it by will, without the concurrence of her husband, and that there fore the demurrer and the defendant's second plea must be allowed. Question of costs reserved. • Applal. southern cross and weekly news co. limited v. James mortox, chairman of ponsonby or dedwood highway board.

Mr E. Bennett for the plaintiff, and Messrs Rp.es and J. B. Russell for the defendant.

This was an appeal case against a decision of Mr Beckham in the R.M. Court which was unfavorable to plaintiffs recoveringjthe sum of £7 from the Highway Board, of which defendant is chairman, on account of a debt incurred for advertising by the Dedwood Highway Board some years before. The grounds of the deci sion by the R.M. Court were that the debt had not been incurred by the Board immediately preceding that sued, and be cause the statement referred to in the 19th section of the Act of 1871 had not been prepared and forwarded to the Superinten dent by the Board which incurred the debt.

Mr Bennett opened the case

Mr Rees raised the question whether other points than those upon which the decision was based could be raised. Several points had been mentioned but not argued. He contended that it would be competent for him to raise these other points. His Honor decided that this could not be done.

Mr. Bennett proceeded to unfold the grounds of the appeal, and quoted precedents to show the liability of the Board.

The matter of letting the Domain by tender was introduced, and Messrs Fenton and Hughes were to have proposed condi tions, but Mr Fenton was not present.

Mr Hughes agreed to see Mr Fenton upon the subject, which was allowed to stand over until the next meeting.

The letting of the new lodge in Bowling Green Lane was next brought on. The Secretary stated that the lodge is at present occupied by Mr Hamilton, at a weekly rental of 10s.

Mr Brett said he believed there were on special conditions with reference to the let of the cottage, but he thought 10s a week was not enough.

Mr Hughes and Mr Mitford expressed a similar opinion. After some further discussion, the matter was allowed to Btand over until the next meeting. advertising-. It was agreed that the allotments now im proved and fenced in, near the gully by Grafton Road, should be advertised by Messrs. Cochrane and Son to be let by contract. ACCOUNTS.

Our Pigeons' Goldfields Budget.

Yesterday, the Provincial Engineer formally handed over the township water supply to his Worship the Mayor, on behalf of the Borough Council. It is reported that a member of the Waiotahi Highway Board, at the very last moment, telegraphed to his Honor the Super intendent not to give up the water supply to the Council, inasmuch as arrangements had not been made to hand over to the Waiotahi Board a part of any profit that might be de rived. We should have thought that the Waiotahi Creek people would have been con tented with the fact that the Provincial Government has expended somewhere about £200 in a water supply for them, and so we believe they are, and do not grudge the Council the chance (for it is no more) of making.£s or £10 by the water supply. We understand that the directors of the Bright Smile Company have sent round a circular to the companies from whom they receive drainage contributions, asking their directors to meet for the purpose of devising an equitable scheme of assessment for the future. The Bright Smile directors are not satisfied with the contributions they have been receiving for the last six months, and as the time for which the orders were made is now up, they intend to lay the whole matter before the directors of the companies con cerned. It is of at least as much immediate importance that the pumps should be kept going at the Waio-Karaka as at the Asso ciation's shaft, for nearly all the gold at pre sent obtained on the field comes from that quarter; and it was shown, when the Bright Smile pumps were stopped for a few days for repairs, that the Queen of Beauty were swamped out of their lower level. We under stand the directors of the City of London are willing to come to any fair arrangement. The inquiry, by Major Keddell, into the Ohinemuri miners' right affair was to have been continued yesterday at tbe Court-house, Gnahamstown. Major Keddell, however, tele graphed on the previous day to Mr. Tyler, who was engaged for Mr. Mackay, that the inquiry was adjourned sine die. What course is now to be pursued we cannot surmise. The Commissioner must conclude his inquiry within two months, and we understand that he was anxious to commence with the evidence of Mr. Mackay, who, it appears, maybe de tained in the South for some time. However, the Commissioner has now the assistance of Inspector Thompson, who is the officer usually employed by the Government on special ser vices of this nature, and he may manage to sift the evidence outside, so that when the inquiry does come on,, it shall not be a mere groping in the dark. Major Keddell and' Inspector Thompson came down from Auck land yesterday, but we. understand no sitting. wiU take place t o*day, at all event«;

mTh effect of the late fresh has been to lodge 500 l.gs at the, bobin., while there are above lbO in the creek; in s__h bo.itions that they will cc rtaiDly be b_6_gh. down by the next fresh.

STEEPLECHASE.

The match arranged to take place to day betweeii Islesman -md Shaifirock oter the steeple chase course at Ellerslie came off this afternoon. The fine weather induced a good number of spectators to show. The race was for £50 aside ; both horses carried 12 stone. Islesman was the favourite in town, owing to the splendid struggle with the winner on Saturday after having to make up so much ground in the last mile. (PJSR STAR CARRIER PIGEON.)

One of Mr Crowther's breaks and the two o'clock conveyed a number of spectators to tbe course, and very great interest was mani fested in the event.

There were over 800 people on the ground, and between 5-0 and 30 other vehicl.s. The race was late in starting. Betting was 6to 4on lsleman. The race finished :— lsleman r... ... 1 Shamrock ... ... ... 2 It was a very pretty race, both horses jumped clean every time, and kept the same position throughout^ jumping splendidly. Islesman took tbe first jump, and maintained the lead throughout, but the race was not oVer till the last juittp. There was great excitement. The first time round Shamrock just struck the fence, and the rider was thrown out of the saddle, but immediately retained his seat amidst great cheering. The rider of Isleßtnan apparently lost the reins coming down hill, but re covered.

Mr W. J. Marks officiated as judge, and Mr J. Wynyard as starter. Munn rode lsleman, and Meurant Sham rock.
