THE DIOCESAN SYNOD.

TnE Sydnod resumed its sitting at sis o'clock last evening. Election of Sv-jodsmex.—The committee appointed to consider on this bill, reported as follows:—" That, having considered the pro posed, bill, they think it advisable that no further action should be taken upon this subiect during the present session, and that th 9 Standing Com mittee be requested to prepare, during the re cess, a biil that shall be in conformity with ■';'•''•% t■- r the General Synod."—lt was mu.wi ox Mr Cidman, neoonded by Ivfr i-viss ling, that the report be received.—Messrs Hughes and Shirley Hill expressed surprise at the report being brought up, as they had no notice of the meeting of the committee.—The report was eventually referred back to the committee. The Indian- Bishops.—His Lordship tho Pro silent laid upon the table a copy o f certain reso lutions received from the Metropolitan of India. His Lordship said it would be a matter for them to consider whether it wks advisable to offer any opinion on them. '"The Priest ix Absolution*."—Colone' HaulUiin moved the resolution standing in hia name, viz:—"That the Synod corJially concurs in the following resolution of the Bishops in the Upper House of Convocation of tho Province of Canterbury, viz., ' That this Hoafe hereby ex presses its strong condemnation of any practice orf confession which nan be thought to render sach a book as ■•The Priest in Absolution" necessary or exuedieTif,' «nd this S'-nc-d raost respectfully tenders its hearty thanVs to their Lordships for thi- expression of their opinion." In moving the resolution Colonel Haultain said no important movement could ta.ke place in tho mother church at home without the pulsations being felt at the extremities of the .Empire. Kecoat revelations had excited consiiieraole interest among all kinds of churchmen. Ho vrith others thought that the Synod ought to give ntteranoe to its expression or opinion on the action of the House of Convocation. It vras for this purpose that the motion had been brought forward, and he hoped that it would meet with unanimous approval. He did r.ot think: It would be desirable to enter into any discussion of the sibject, and ho would there fore contont himself with uiovimr the resolution. Rev. R. S. Hassard said in coming forward to second the resolution he felt considerable diffi oiutv. as he had no: seen the book in question. It had been printed i'or private circulation only, and he was not awsj's that, a sLigio copy of It had retichod Xew Ze."."an:'., nor did he tiling there was a single membor of the "Society ci the Holy Cross" in Nsw Zealand. With the general ten<*r of the resolution ho quite agreed as h2 believed th.it any system of confessio: which required such s>. book was to be con detuned as contrary to the teaching of eh; Church Of England. (Hear, hear). He. migh'tx allowed to say a few words on the subject of th: confessional. There were three kinas of con fes-ion. Fii-st there, was the compulsory systen which included examination by thft priest, an< which Laid it down that such confession whs thi onlyway of obtaining .".bstVtution. Tbat wastbi doctrine of the Church of Home. The soconi kind was not compulsory, bur, it: was advocate* with personal examination in certain ca-es This appeared to he the kind approved of b; the authors of the "Priest in Absolution." Th third form was That of the Church of Eng'and The teaching of the Prayer-book was, that c in fess:on should be made not to msa, not to tin priest, but to God (hear), it urged the praclici of self-examination, and he was afraid thai i was because this wholesome practice had ix-ei almost entirely neglected, that th's extreme section of the church had sprung- up. Thy church laid it down, that if a man could no! quiet his conscience, he should i/o to a prioai and seek his aid, but it was uot enjoined or that priest to give him absolution. The formulary of confession in the scrvic-3 rot the visitation of the slot was very difficult of interpretation. In his opinion, it was a minister's duty if a man were dying to earnestly enjoin him to make his peace with God, either by confeioion, or by whatever other act suggested it-self as best; and Lie held tfcut the priest had then the power to deliver God's forgiveness of his sins. Several persons had come to him, he did not say in the confessional, but in the intimate intercourse of a man and Ms spiritual adviser ; bat he h<=d never given absolution, and, though he could not say he hoped he never should do so, he did not wish to adopt the practice. The rev. gentleman con cluded by saying he should be sorry to c-oe auricular confes-io'i aloptsd in the English Charch, as he thought it would lessan the sense or responsibility for sin which a man felt. Persons would feel easier if they had to confess to a man of like passions wi;.h themselves. He conk! not say he felt glad to second the motion, as he neve; felt.pleased at doing anything which reflected on any person, but. in this car; , he feit it his duty to express his concurrence in the motion proposed by Colonel Haultain, Mr Mitford said he thought they should lay themselves open to ridicule by condemning a work which none of them had ssen. He would move, as an amendment, "That this Synod, while maiTitsinin'j: it* al';'i^ria.nce to the Mother Church of England, r'esir^s to avoid the discus sion of questions in which the Church of New Zealand has no immediate concern." Rev. Mr Tom'inson seconded.? The amendment was put, and rejected. The BflV, Mr Purchas said he agreerf with the motion, as he considered the subject one of great importance). Auricular confes sion was the groundwork of iiomish tyranny, and he looked upon k that any attempt to reintrcxiuce it into the English Church should be mo-_t strontjiy resi- ted. Se was glad to see Colonel Haultain and Mr Hassard agreed upon this important subiect If practices oi Lbs kind referred to were to obtain recognition, all the blood which had been shea in the history of tlio church would bo washed. The motion -was then put, end was carried with one or .two dissentients. Mr Cadman called for a division. The President said the subiect was closed. One or two other members called for a division. The division was .ben taken with the follow ing result:—Aye—clergy, 15; laity, 37 ; 52; noes —clorgy. 3; laity, Z; G. Minority for tho avos, 15. Sunday SchoolLessoxs.—Rev. C. M. Nel-on moved " fhat the_cy;iod proceed to appoint the committee to preciare the Sunder school lo^'cons for the ensuing year." Mr W. H. Kissliug moved as an amendment ■'That the Syuo 1 is ol opinion that the subject of Suaday school lessons be left tj rhe clergy of the dionese." 2.1r Cadman seconded. Mr Pierce said he did not believe in pu'ting amendments in such a slap-das^ manlier. They ought to have full discassion on both motion and amendment. His Lordship said he thought the wcr.i s;;ip dash was hardly parliamentary. Mr Pierce withdrew the expression. (Laugh ter). Rsv. ~Slv Gould sbo 1-:-: against meamonamont, as did also the lie vs. Purclias, Kinder, Dr Kidd, lrr TCii-kbride, and several others. Mr Upton said the publication of the le-sons in the " Church" Gazette had doubled the sale. (Hear). Yen. Dr. Maunsell objected to the lessons going forth under the authorship of the Synod. Some of them were tainted with doctrines no 4 at all in accordance with the teachings of the Church of .England. Mr Hassard : Name one lesson wlucn is so. Mr Piece said as a Sunday-school teacher he quite concurred in the assertion that the lessons were very valuable. He was no theologian, but hu could not see anything at variance with the church doctrine. He was aware thu t there were many clergymen in the diocese, and in that .-ynod, who held doctrines not in accord ance with the Church of England. (Hear hear, nd oh, oh.) The President said such a charge was a very serious one, and ought not to be made there. (Hear.) The Rev. C. M. Kelson spoke strongly m favour ot the lessons. He should feel glad if Dr Maunsell would accept a seat on the committee, in the place of Dr Kinder, who had declined to The Rev Dudley said, in reference to what Mr Pierce had charged against the clergy, he thought it would bo better for definite; accusa tions to bo brought in the proper place, instead Of inuendoes being thrown out. The President, before putting the amendment, spoke in condemnation of it. On being put, the amendment was declared lost. Mr Kisslihg called for a division, which was taken with rhe following result: Ayes—clergy, 5 ; laity, 4 ; Noes—clergy, 15 ; laity, 35. Majority for noes, clergy, 10 ; laity, 31. The original motion was then put and carried. , The Yen. Dr Maunsell objected to his name being on the committee. He was willing to serve if ordered by a vote of the Synod. A ballot was then taken for the committee, when the following five were elected: Rev. C. M. Kelson (mover), Ten. Archdeacon MaunseU Rev. Mr Bates, Rev. Mr Gould, and J. Adams. Sxandixg Committed Bill.—The Synod went into Committee on this question, Colonel Haul tain in the chair. The bill passed through com mittee, but the schedule was struck out and re committed. _~ ~ Melanesia* Mission.—The report on the Trust Fund of this mission was laid on the table. The Synod adjourned at 10 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL.—This Day.

YESTERDAY CONCLUDED. THE BUBKE-BII,EY INQUIRY. The following report of the committee ap pointed to inquire into this matter was read. ]st.—That Mr Burke was very blame worth/ in keeping the buckets in his possession for some 6 or 7 weeks, especially when i| was considered that during part of this time he was working for several days at the Market, and therefore going between his house and the Market to his meals daily, and whilst at the Market usipg the remaining buckets, he being engaged in scrubbing" down the paint work of the build ing. 2nd.—That we consider the Officers of the Council should, in all cases, only resort to extreme measures when all other means fail.—E. Isaacs, Chairman. Councillor Isaacs moved that the report be adopted. This being seconded, Councillor Brett proposed as an amendment: Ist.—That the buckets lying for several weeks in Burke'f yard should have been returned by him tc the Market, a? according to his own ovi dence, lie was employed for several dayi working there, and had many opportunities of returning them. The failure to retun ; the buckets was merely an oversight, bill I must still'be regarded as an act of negligent on his part. 2nd.—That Mr Riley exceeded his dut; in causing to be issued a search warrant When he received information where th buckets were he should have sent a messagi to Burke to return them. ■ The Counci ore of opinion that he acted most umvar ran+.ably, and in a manner deserving o severe censure. 3rdly. That some better system for tin protection of the property belonging to thi Corporation should be devised. The] would recommend that in future some oiiice" of the Council should have the sole charge and be responsible for all tools, &c, belong ing to the Council. Councillor Brett strongly supported his amendment. It was a most serious thinj to deprive a man of his liberty, unless upoi ■ very extreme grounds. ; Councillor Cosgravej3econded the amend ment. It was a most trumping charge upon which to imprison a man. He him . self had been scandalously maligned in the , matter. It had actually been 'stated that he had supplied Riley with the money to bring an action against Burke ; it had also been asked by one of the Councillors, whether Mrs Burke had not gone to his house and asked him to sit ou the bench that day. • ■ Councillor Goldie said such statements had been made outside, and he had asked the latter question with a view to clear Councillor Co-grave. (Hear.) Councillor Goldie said he disagreed with Councillor Brett's amendment because he only blamed Mr Kyley. For his own part he Thought the Town Clerk was more to blame-than anybody. lie had granted the search warrant, and was responsible. j A very hot discussion followed these remarks, and for a few minutes all onu;r was lost, several members speaking excitedly together, and indulging in rather strong language. Mr Philips, Town Clerk, asked to ho allowed to explain what he knew of the matter as it was sought to blame him, and lie would call the attention of the Council to the fact that one of the questions put to Mr Reilley was omitted when the notes of evidence were read, viz. Mr Philips to Mr Reilley : Did I not say to you in reply to your request for a search warrant, if you cannot get them any other way ? Answer— yes. Mr Philips continued : I may men tion Mr Reilley came to me in the street, and stated that he had done what he was instructed to do, viz., taken an inventory of the sundries at the Market, but that 2 buckets were short, and he knew where they were to be had, if a search warrant was obtained. I re-' plied, "Cannot you get them without?' He said, " No." I then turned to some J other person, when he again asked mo what lie was to do. Should he get a warrant. 1 replied, "If you cannot get them any other way." Mrßeilly states lie gave me the man's name. I am certain he is in error, but if he did it is immaterial, as 1 should not know the rn.au if he stood before me. _Mr Reilly is an old ex-police oiliccr, and should know the effect of a search warrant : he might have applied for the buckets without coming to me at all. Although I am a J.l'. I did not know that the search warrant involved arrest and imprisonment. Councillor ,Goldie said it was -lie Tov»n Clerk's word against Mr Ililey's. lio was sorry to say he had found the Town clerk untruthful i:i several matters. (sensation.) i'or instance— Great interruption occurred, at these words. Mr Philips retorted upon Counillor Goldie with same warmth, and there was a generel chorus of members deprecating Councillor Goldie's outspoken charges. The Mayor, when quiet was restored, said he was sorry to see so much ill-feeling in troduced into the discussion. The storm gradually subsided, and a division being taken first on the amendment, and then on the original motion, the latter was declared to be carried. The report was therefore adopted. WATERWORKS CONTRACT. The report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the contractor's claim for extras, was read. This recommended the sums charged in their accounts should be paid, Messrs Morrin agreeing to refund to Messrs Scccumbe the amount charged for pumping. The No. 2 account had been referred back to the engineer, but the Com mittee had agreed without prejudice to pay Messrs Morrin the sum of £4000. The report was moved and seconded for adoption. Councillor Goldie moved and Councillor Brett seconded, " That the report be simply received. The amendment was carried. It was subsequently arranged that Messrs Morrin should be pain £4000.

Driving is continued to the east, and the country is favourable. The mana ger estimates that a little over ten feet of driving will bring it under the run .of gold. The leader in Dixon's low level is rather small, but still it looks promising for something better. The reef in the west drive of the Whau 1 . level shows colours of gold.

Mr Smith.'defendant's counsel, addressing the jury iv Proudfoot's case, said the offer of marriage was; the act of either a lunatic or a man temporarily insane through diink. In addressing the jury for the prosecu tion, Mr Deuuiston spoke of Dr. Murphy as an infamous go-botweeu and said that he must be condemned by every respectable man and woman. His Honor said that to put the most charitable interpretation on Dr Murphy's conduct he had been guilty of extraordinary blundering for a professional man. The jury were locked up all night. At 10 o'clock this morning they said their was no chance of agreeing. They were sent back to their room to see if they could not come to a unanimous decision. At 12.10 the jury were again sent fur. In answer to the judge the foreman s;ii<! there was not the slightest probability of agreeing. His Honor ordered their dis charge. The prisoner's counsel applied for another special jury, but this was opposed by counsel for the Crown on the ground that there was no likelihood of a special jury drawn from a Dunedin community agreeing, as the panel would be known the week before the ■ trial. He was willing that a change |of;l venue should take place, or that the prisoner should be tried by common jury in Dunedin. His ] lonor thought a change venue would be de sirable. He granted a special jury. The new trial is set down for the 31st instant. j CHRISTCHUROH, this day. ; INDIAN FAMINE FUND. Collections in aid of the Indian Famine reached over £SOO.
