A Retraction

The Telegraph on Saturday retracted the "statement contained in a leader of March last re Mr Vincent Pyke. It regretted having ' been misled in the matter, especially in the statement made by that journal that Mr Pyke had at one time been engaged in grog-Belling. Native Lands Scandal. The following is a copy of the letter sent to the Native Minister by Mr Hamlin, in 1869, referred to by Mr. Travers in the ex amination of Mr Hamlin in the Omaranui case:— "Napier. "20th Sept., 1869. "To the Native Minister, Wellington. "Sir,—Before entering on the subject I am about to write upon, I would explain that I feel a great delicacy in the matter, and would have felt it a great relief had some other person taken the task in hand. But as delay is dangerous (as is inevitable in the present case) I feel it my duty to bring the subject to your notice, hoping at the same time that bo offence will be cast upon me for so doing. I have now the honor respectfully to bring to your notice the wholesale manner in which lands are being alienated from the natives under the deceptive cloak of mortgage. Mortgages some time past were entered into for the sake of the protection of merchants for outstanding debts, and up to the present time it has been carried on with a view indirectly "to disinherit the natives of their possessions, and also to deprive them of the yearly rents which they have heretofore been in the habit of receiving. I would not omit to state that this, scheme is not a general thine, but is only practised by one person in particular, Mr Sutton, who is assisted by Mr G. B. Worgan, every one else having set their faces against it. I may add that the barefaced manner in which the trade is carried on is beyond cre dence. Several natives have come into ,the town without the slightest idea of treating for land; they have been watched in the street by Mr Sutton, who, I need not say, had Mr Worgan within his call. The natives were decoyed away, introduced to a glass or two of spirits, then into his shop, where he or she is "invited to take an unlimited quan tity of goods ; at the same time a deed is introduced and requested to be signed, which, considering the state they are in is not gene lally refused. I must not forget here to add that some of the most foolish and delusive ideas are put into the natives'heads. Some of them have • the idea that by forfeiting their respective shares of rent for three years everythi»*r they draw in the shape of goods (for thej ildom see any money, thns giving about I | n the pound in reality), will bepaid' Hnd be ready to re-mortgage. ■ L Straw1 he idea that they will stiU Wc9' -o^rly share of rants, and by SPtS. **&' cnifeble device thoir respective a«owSj/y oe) all Off in the space of three ; Jews. N^th e f l6 instances many of them

dont really know what they have signed cSed antTF* Pitch haß the traffic h™ XrA ? at L n ? ne IDsta*ce I could relate where a native had secured his creditors by bttW 1° hlr hi 3 interest in cert*in blocks of land, and the deed was registered. ™°« * S. aS Tl<l lx<iste& by Mr Worgan to execute another deed in favour of Mr Sutton. in this the native deserved great praise as he could not split his J an d in two ■he had signed one deed and he would be acting wrong lfhe a j gned a second {or Jand and for the same purpose, to which ■a / ~ol£a n' m a reproachful manner said (alluding to the native interpreter who had been engaged in the former case. " The ; Jvengatira Bawa te tangata ko houma hoki iJakmo mau rawa ikoe aua kupu." To say the least of this it is teaching the natives to be unprincipled. lam happy to say in this resPect the natives have, to the present period, behaved iv a most creditable manner, lne effect of this iniquitous and baneful traffic has yet to be felt by the province, and Idon t think I shall be wrong in saying by the country also. The natives will he made destitute, and will consequently resort to stealing and highway robberies, together with all other attending evils, and I fear the terrible consequences will be infinitely worse, namely, bloodshed, &c. I perceive by a late amendment of the Native Lands Act that some alteratiou has been made with respect to undivided grantees dealing with their respective interests, but I fear that while such an unprincipled mode of dealing has already exhibited itself. A majority of grantees will be closely overcome. The power given to licensed interpreters to act in such cases is unlimited, unless his own conscience prompts him that he is acting in such a way as will be injurious to the colony. I allude to the wholesale manner in which this has been and still is carried on. To my certain knowledge deeds are at the present time in course of preparation for the farther transaction of the above nefarious traffic. I would therefore bring under your notice the necessity of withholding the license as a native interpreter from that gentleman (Mr Worgan)—at all events for a tiine pending your pleasure to again re - grant at some future period. If this is not done, I fear there will be no redress, or redress will be too late. "E. Hamlin-. . " The Hon. Native Minister, 11 Wellington.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE JOURNEY OF THE KING OF SWEDEN.

The Copenhagen correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes : The telegraph will no doubt have informed you not only of the in tention of the King of Sweden to visit the Emperors of Russia and Germany during the coming spring, bus it will also have informed you that these visits have been postponed. The journey, though delayed, is looked upon here as most likely to take place, and it is not looked upon in Denmark with much satisfaction. If lam rightly informed, as I have every reason to believe, the King will arrive here one of the first days in June, and after spending a couple of days in Copenhagen, will proceed to Berlin. The visit to St. Petersburg will take place a few weeks later. I should in no way be justified in saying that any very serious con sequences are feared, yet, considering the ideas which it is here believed that King Oscar 11. cherishes of having a Blice of Denmark for himself next time it is carved on the Prussian sideboard, the journey, nevertheless, is looked upon as an indica tion that there may be something in the wind. It is a public secret that the relations between the Swedish and Danish royal families are anything bat warm, although an attempt was made last year to arrive at a re-approachment. Ever since the death of the late King of Sweeden, (father of the Crown Prince of Denmark,) who, as well as the late King of Denmark, was a gieat advocate of the " Scandinavian idea," which consisted in trying to unite the three kingdoms, under one rule, the mutual sympathy between the people, which seemed to have grown rapidly, has disappeared as quickly, simply because it was nourished by artificial means. The quarrels and disputes between the Danish and Swedish pilots in the Sound, which during the autumn of 1872 even looked very erious, created much bad blood, while everal Swedish papers seem to have made

a point of picking a quarrel with Denmark. I repeat that I have no reason to believe tbat anything serious will arise from these visits, but those who watch the European game of bluff must not let the move of even a single pawn pass unnoticed."

The Path Downwards.

MELANCHOLY DEATH IN THE POLICE STATION.

Another victim of the fearful effects of ex cessive drinking was witnessed this morning stretched upon the hard pavement of the police cell. It was none other than the wretched man, Charles Padon, said to nave been a banister, but not in practice. It was only a few days ago that Mr. Beck ham gave Padon his liberty on the promise that he would leave the place and endea vour to lead a new and better life ; and in making the promise he spoke with apparent sincerity upon the desirability of such a change; but no sooner had he escaped into the free air, than he rushed back to the sink of degradation and drank until his brain and legs refused to perform their Datura! functions. He was found helpless and dead drunk at seven o'clock last evening by Constable Reilly who assisted him to the station on a wheel-barrow, as the unfortunate man. could not staifd on his legs. He was wheeled to the station and sheltered for the night as it was supposed; but within two hours after his incarcera tion, audible groans were heard and strange mutterings, when the constable went to ascertain the cause, and found Padon in the throes of death; he had pro mised to leave the province, but did not u'o so, although he had £13 in his pocket. The prisoner was found dead a little before nine o'clock. Dr Hooper was sent for, but the man had passed away. Padon was forty four, was educated, and held the position of a barrister, we believe, in Nelson ; thus affording another example of the far.nl habit *of intemperance. It is a remark able fact that three men, who have been discharged through the leniency of the Resident Magistrate, have come to an un timely end, viz., Shiers, Savage, and Padon. An inquest will be held this afternoon at two o'clock.

THE INQUEST.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Auckland Betel, before Dr. Phiison, coroner, and a jury, on the body of Charles Padon, who was found dead in tho lock-up of the police-station last night. Mr Alfred William Ryan, was foreman.

John Wadham, plumber, deposed that he saw deceased last night at John Abbott's stables, in Victoria - street. John Abbott put the man out; of his house in Victoria-street ; he also told Serjeant Sanderson that a man was lying in there. He immediately sent up two constables to remove the deceased to the station. A wheel barrow was procured, and the deceased who was unable to walk was conveyed to the station. He appeared to be helpless and was unable to move. He made no noise ;he did not shout. He saw him no more alive. Padon was a stranger to him.

Constable Robert J. Gillies gave evidence to the effect that he was desired to accom pany O'Eeilly te Victoria-street, where the man was lying stupidly drunk. A convey ance was brought. He noticed that the man was breathing. He seemed insensible. The door of the cell was left open to admit freah air. The man smelt strongly of drink. He left him on his left side. He looked in at eight and nine, and found the man in the same state. He believed at last that the man was dead.

Detective Jeffrey gave corroborative evidence ai to tha bringing the man to the station ; ;he had known him for nine years ; he was a solicitor; he came from Nelson, where he practised, bub was not successful ; his age was 43 j he first knew him. in Christchurch, where he was clerk to a . very large firm of commission merchants. He came to Auckland three montl B ago, but had done nothing. He us ually slept out of nights. He had been con victed five times for drunkenness at the Police Court. Saw him brought into the station last night. He was insensibly drunk. The sum of £13 53 5d was found on him.

Dr John Henry Hooper, of Hobson-street, did not % know deceased ; was called to him about nine o'clock ; found him quite dead in the celler of the station, lying on his right side ; a thick coat was under his head ; smelt strongly ofjrum; he was not much emaciated; his physical condition was not bad; he believed that death resulted from the effects ?of drink, from a serous effusion on the train. The police did everything that could be done for him. He was in such a state from drink that nothing could have saved him long. Detective Jeffrey said that the money which deceased had about him was the price of some mining stock.

The jury returned a verdict excessive drinking."

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. IThe Tairua Prospectors' Case- The hearing of objections to granting the license applied for by the Tairua prospectors is now going on. The first objection was by natives, who claimed that .the ground was theirs ; that it had never been ceded by them for goldmining; and that it was not in the gold field. The Warden stated that whether ceded or not it was within the proclamation of the field, and he should adjudicate on it, but before giving his final decision he would communicate with the Government. Wood ward's objection was withdrawn. It was then arranged to take Miller's objection to the size of the pegs first as if the decision was in his favour, it would obviate the necessity of proceeding with Bergin's claim, and if defeated would with draw Wickham's objection. The Court then adjourned for dinner.

Eaiiway Complaints

There are great complaints of mis-manage ment of the Mercer railway. Timber urgently needed here was pitched off a considerable distance from Mercer, and left rotting. The. passengers boast of being able to go through, either -way with out paying. 'lhe guards are uncivil, and the whole railway officials, unequal to their sudden elevation, have lost their heads. A man at Te Rore purchased pigs for the Auck land market, but was disappointed by delay in transmission. The pigs are now dying.

LATE SHIPPING.

The topsail schooner Dauntless left Kai para for Dunedin last Thurday with a car&o of timber.

The schooner Blanche and the brigantine Coronet are alongside the wharf discharging.

The barque Cabarfeidh was signalled this morning a,i. anchor outside the reef. She had not come up harbour at the time we went to press. She must have had a good run from Melbourne. She is a new vessel, owned by Capt. D. H. McKenzie, and comes in ballast, or with very little cargo. Her nnmber being in the shipping register she spelt out her name according to the alphabetical cede, .19 follows:—Ca —flags 0.8. J.P., bar-C.8.G.N., fe—C.B.R.J., i- W.T..F,, ah—C.B.M.K. In consequence of the number of flags exhibited, it was generally thought that some important com munications were being made from the ship.

The schooner Favorite cleared out to-day for Wangaroa with stores. The brigantine Look Oat entered out to-day for Wangaroa.

We are informed by the secretary of the Choral Society that the committee has made arrangements with Mr Brown to take the conductorship. As the measles have dis appeared and health is re-appearing, the society will now resume its former activity.

At the Harbour Board to-day the chairman Captain Daldy, brought forward a motion to appropriate £50 for the new Beach Road. Mr Holdship made some practical remarks on the subject, in which he deprecated the fencing policy of the City Council and the Harbour Board. The question of responsibility must be faced, and he theught they ought to co-operate with the Council in trying to accommodate matters. Captain Daldy modified his resolution, when ifc was seconded by Mr Holdship and carried. The report of the Lighting Committee objected t) any alteration in the present lighting system on the wharf. Some correspondence with Dr. Pollen was read with respect to the projected acquirement of the foreshore by the Board. <
