THIS - DAY,

THE ERRINGTON EQRUIRY.

This enquiry into certain statements in feU Evening Star concerning Mr Errington, ta

engineer for the new city waterworks, wa opened this afternoon before a selecb con! mittee of the City Council, composed of hi Worship the Mayor, and Councillors Co* grave, Goldie, Yon der Heyde, and Brett. Mr Errington was in attendance, accom panied by Mr Tyler, his solicitor. There were also present, Messrs Hud phreys, Goodall, Dickson. The Mayor opened the proceedings wit! reading the letter received by himself on th Bth inst., from Mr Errington requesting th institution of an enquiry. Hi 3 Worship sait he should rule that all questions should be ii writing and must be pub through himself He would now read them a further letter h had received from Mr Errington. '•Engineer's Office "To the Town Clerk, "Sir, —I have the honor to acknowledg the receipt of your letter of the 2Gth inst. informing me the Special Committee wil meet on Thursday next at the Council room at 2 p.m. and requesting me to attend an' have in attendance any witnesses I ma; desire to be heard, or favor you with a lis of those I may desire to attend. In accor dance with your request, I shall, of courst attend at the time and place named, bu I cannot promise to have witnesses i attendance, nor do I think it adviseable a the present stage to forward a list of thos witnesses I may desire to attend. Havin now had some little experience as to the mod of conducting enquires of this kind, I think must decline allowing myself to be put upo my defence until I am apprised of the natui of the charges to be brought against me, an hear the evidence adduced in support of thot charges. I cannot allow myself to be mad a butt of by opponents, and be examined b men upon all sorts of matters outside tt legitimate object of the enquiry. With a due respect I think the proper court to pursue in the investigation, is to call upo those who have made the charges to stai such charges in writing, and furnish me wit a copy of the same, and then the Committ* appoint a time and place for the hearin| At such hearing, the person making tl charges should be called upon, first to brie what evidence he thinks proper in suppor and then when he had finished, if the cod mittee think that any charge is in arj measure established, unless answered, 1 call uoon me to answer the same, this course is pursued, the enquiry, I vei ture to say will not occupy very Ion; Mr Brett has made and published certai statements reflecting upon my honesty an capacity as engineer of the Waterworks, have asked the Council to cause an invest gation into those statements, principally bi cause they effect the Council. The Counc have appointed an investigating committe and now let Mr Brett come before the con mittee and endeavour to substantiate b statements, and I will answer them. I d not think that it would be fair to myself < judicious to become a party to any ofcht than the course above pointed out.—l ha\ the honor to be, sir, your obedient servan War. Ekrimgton, Engineer." The Mayor said he could not help sayig that he thought Mr Erriugton had been vey ill-advised in sending such a letter. He rant remind that gentleman that it was at his ota request that the enquiry was to be hed. The mode of the enquiry was certainly lot to be at Mr Errington's dictation. Mr Errington said Mr Brett had made ;er tain charges against him. Councillor Brett said he had made at Mayor said Councillor Brett was not a that Board as a representative of the STiK Mr Errington said he had been told by hi: friends that he had been too hasty m askini f°The MayorrS'd that might be but now h had made it, of course he would not <tan baAfter some discussion as to the mode c conducting the enquiry, ft»Mvor«dh would take the initiative.

THE DE MURSKA CONCERT.

This renowned jantatrice will appear for the second time in (he Choral Hall to-night ;'u a most attractive programme. Having now recovered from the fatigues of the sea : vo/age she will, we have no doubt, eclipse the bril liancy of her debut. We believe her render ing of "Lo, Here the Gentle Lark," with flute obligato, is the most remarkable vocal effort ever heard in the colonies. The pro gramme likewise includes, by De ITurska, the cavitana, " Casta Diva" (Norca), and the grand duo, " Crispino c la Comaii," The other pieces of the programme appar in the advertisement in another column.
