The West Clive County election case will be heard before Mr Beetham on Moil day. Yesterday, Mr Sutton's solicitor asked Mr Beetham to decide the matter of law before the subpoenas for the witnesses were issued. He declined on the ground of its being the first case of the kind in New Zealand, and he would like to hear the evidence first. Mr Sbeehan, on behalt of the lion H. R. Russell, who contests the Waipukurau election, made a similar rcouest, and <rot the same answer. ANOTHER CANDIDATE. Mr Wilson, dentist, has just had a requisition to stand for the vacant seat presented to him, to which he has acceded. It is thought to be «i grim joke.

DUNEDIN, this day. PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD. At a Presbyterian Synod yestcrdav, the Rtv. Mr Ryley, in moving the Sabbath Observance report, contended that the Presbyterian Church had not kept pace with the large increase of population. DISCUSSION ON EVANGELISTIC SERVICES. In reference to an evangelistic service, the Rev. Mr. Wills said much mischief was done by encouraging raw, rash, and incx porienced men in addressing large assem blages. He referred to the conversions, reported in the Christian Record, and suDinitted it was most unwise to have such things flagrantly paraded. It was going a little too far to say who were, and who were not converted. . . . The Rev Mr Binnprniari enquired what were the ordinary services of the Church, but cvauc-elistie services—another Gospel than the "Gospel of Christ preached. Ho strongly deprecated the undue exaltation of special evangelistic -services. Dr. Stuart, said he had listened with pain to tiie Jeremiad from the last speakers. He recommended the malcontents amongst the Synod to encourage a spirit of chanty. The Rev Mr. Sutherland, -had declined to furnish a return of the state of religion, because according to one of the printed questions, they wanted to know about how many persons had been converted in each district during the year. The Rev. Mr. Ryley, said it war, difficult to know whether they (the speakers) were for heaven or hell. He charged Mr. Suther land with having added insult to neglect, in not forwarding the required return. . ■ The Rev. Mr. Sutherland could not allow himself to be charged with having added insult to in }my. Some of the queries issued by the committee were frivolous. The Kcv. Mr. Ryley, held that. Mr. Sutherland was going deeper into t.ie mire, and his position was .anything but enviable. He (Mr. Ryley) expressed his willingness to resign, so Hint the committee could have the benefit of Mr. Sutherlaud'scxtraordinary abilities. ... ~ The Rev. Mr Kirkland deprecated the unchristian tone the discussion had taken. The Moderator, in rising, succeeded in throwing oil on the troubled waters. CHARGE OF INFANTICIDE. Coroner Carey held an inquest at Have lock on the body of the female infant child which Christina Clark was charged with murdering. The evidence showed that on Wednesday Miss Clark's father told a neighbour, a married woman, that his daughter was unwell; but the latter, although the neighbour had hersusmcions, denied that anything was wrong with lior. Next day two 'neighbours went to her, and told . her that their suspicions were not allayed, and she had better own to it at once. She then told them where the dead childwas hid in a box. She admitted it was born alive, but said it died while being washed. The medical evidence, however, proved that it died from asphyxia, having been put into water and choked, bhe was committed for trial for wilful murder.

TEMPLAR ENTERTAINMENT.

A pursue meeting and entertainment was held last evening in tho Temperance Hall, Albort streot, Hon. Col. Haultain in the chair. The chairman having introduced the proceedings in a. plain, practical speech, called upon tho speakers and vocalists in turn. Tho scrot-al addresses were intoriinoated vrith music, reci tations, and song. Messrs Woodruff, Tregear, and Johnson's speeches were pointed and brief, with tho chief ebjeot of the meeting in view, namely t-hut of the spread of templary prin ciples. Tho principal ipeechos of the evening were, decidedly those of Bistor Collis of Taranaki, and Brother Speight of the Thames. Tho inter vening songs wore " Tho Pilgrim of Love," by Bro. Salt ; "Many changes haTC I Sam," by Bro. Homns, Jan. : and " The Blind Girl to her Harp." by Mrs Cottingham. Bro. Butschkow presided at the piano, and performed several musical selections with great success On the rising of Sister Collis, the expectations of the audience were raised to a state of enthusiasm. A Sister advocate on the platform is rather novel. Sister Collis has a good voice, and uttered her sentiments with remarkable clearness, find her words showed a considerable amount of culture, displaying logic and much calm reasoning. The lady said she did not stand on that platform by inclination, but rather from the promptings of duty. It had been a matter of painful surprise to her that so many intelligent and compotcnt women had stood aloof from the cause of Tcmplary, rather than come forward in the great cause which they had mot to celebrate. Immediately upon the introduction of Templary, three years ago, at Taranaki, when it was indeed a novelty, she at onco and without hesitation joined the order. She joined it because she thought it was the one thing needful for the uplifting and the elevation of the people from tho degradation in which they moved in consequence of the drink ing habits of society. She had worked in the cause, and intended to continue that work, and sho had reason to believo that she had been the means cf doing some good in her sphere of life. Sister Collis then made a stirring appeal to her sex, and urged them to the duty of self-sacrifice, which Templary was calculated to teach, and concluded an excellent, well-worded addres3 by asking for the influence of intelligence and respectability. Bro. Spoight then made a telling and exhaustive speech on the subject, which occupied more than an hour in its delivery, and in which ho dealt successfully with all the main objections which people entertain in respect of the cause, and expressed his belief that Templavy was destined ultimately, in heaven's good time, to destroy one of the greatest curses of the human race. Touching the regalia, Brother Speight said he had very little regard for it, and it was at his suggestion, that the Brotherhood did not appear in regalia before the audience. But while there were persons who were pleased with the "collar" as it had been designated, and while it was to them an emblem of triumph, and to them meant work, he had no objection to it. A collar on a horse indicated putting the shoulder to the wheel —in short it meant work, and in like manner the templar regalia collar had a'similar meaning. Brother Speight touched upon every variety of subject, social, poetical, and political, shewing that the good templar, like Goldsmith's country clergy man, must exemplify in his own life, the lessons he would impart to others. He imist " Allure to brighter worlds and lead the way." Brother S. Hemus gave one of his characteristic addresses, markeaby good scnse.fuir reasoning, anrl seasoned with pleasant anecdotes. The ontortniument was eminently successful and in structive, and closed in the usual way.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

A SPECIAL meeting of the Waste Lands Board was held at 2 o'clock to-day at the oflice, Shprtland-stroct, to consider the questions raised by Mr. Broomhall in his reply to the offer submitted by the Board.

The Chairman explained the reason .of convening the present meeting, and then read Mr Broomhall's reply to the terms ofiered by the Board. ~ Mr Toiiks said the Board would have nothing to do with the last three clauses. Mr. Firth coincided with this view. :

LETTER FROM MR. KOWE,

A letter was read from Mr. Rowe to Dr. Pollen stating that some years ago he had made an application to Dr. Pollen and Sir Donald McLean for land at Wairakau for the formation of a special settlement in the Thames district. Promises were then made, that the purchase should he completed as .soon as possible, and the land handed over for settlement. The parties had remained.at the Thames, and had been looking forward with interest to the opening, of tho land for settlement. They now learned that the land was in cluded in that offered to Mr. Urooxnhall. The parties were still ready to settle ou the laud on the conditions which might be imposed, but if not many of them would leave the district. A memorandum by 3Dr Pollen was at tached to this letter. " The memorandum stated that it was quite true that for seve ral years past applications had been made to the Governmeut for land, by persons anxious to settle in the Thames district. A promise was made to Mr Rowe that Avhenever tho title to the Te Aroha Block was acquired the land would he thrown onen for settlement by miners at tho ' Thames. Aa soon as the title was cora ! pleted tho land would be handed over to tye Waste Lands, Board, under \liQ Waste i |$lidj &$%

Mr Firth said he did not think a minis ter, simply because he was driven into a corner by persons who might interview him, should nave power to make promises which should find his suceessos, unless the parties to whom concessions were made had done something to benefit the public, or could shew that they had made a road, or done some public service vrhich entitled them to consideration. _He did, not sec that Mr. Howe and his frionds had done any of these things, though they had availed themselves of every opportunity of badgering any Minister who had visited the Thames, but he failed to see that it entitled him to any special claim to advance his pri vate interests, or that the Board would be justified in sacrificing the public interests of the Colony to the private interests of Mr. Rowe and his friends. He would therefore vote against any special consideration being shown to Mr. Rowe, and his friends. Tho Board was anxious to take advantage of the vory earliest possible measures to bring large area of land at the Thames under such conditions as would render them available for settlement by tho persons referred to by Mr Rowe, but the Board ought not to disturb tho arrangements made with Mr Broomhall in order to servo the interests of Mr Howe and his friends which were entirely adverse to the public interest?. He would therefore move that the previous action of the Board be confirmed.

Mr Tonks seconded the motion which was carried.

EDUCATIONAL IIKSERVES.

With respect to subject No. 1 of Mr Broomhall's letter, the Chairman read an extract from a former letter of Mr Broom hall, stating tnat he was willing to reserve land for educational recreative, muneipal, and religious purposes. Mr Firth proposed that this part of Mr Broomhall's letter be embodied in the terras originally offered by tho Board to Mr Broomhall. Carried.

COST OF HOUSES,

No. 2. Question of cost of houses. The Chairman said that the cost fixed by the Government was £50. Ho considered Mr Broomhall's proposal fair. Mr May said when lie first came to the colony he had to do with a house which cost much less than £60.

The Board approved of the proposal that the maximum cost be £60.

Question No. 3. —Drainage of Swamp. The Board resolved that one acre of drained Swamp be regarded as equal to one of cultivated land.

No. 4.—Question of adults. Board l c -olved that the original conditions be adhered to.

No. s.—Question of interest on deposit. Mr Firth suggested that as Mr Broomhall would get the benefit of a title, if the interest were given to him lie should be called upon to lodge the full amount of the purchase money. Mr Tonks said it was a question cf £2,500 interest. Mr Moat said as Mr Broomhall received the land for 15s an acre, lie should forego the interest.

Mr Tonks said the difficulty might be met by Mr Bioomball depositing the £11,425 in N.Z. 41 debentures, the Govern ment rctaiuihg the" deposit and interct upon thecouponsuntiltheconditionawercfiiifiUed. both principal and interest to be forfeited if the conditions were not fulfilled. The Board resolved that the oiler of a deposit by Mr. Broomhall on or before the 31st June in debentures in lieu of cash bo accepted, but the coupons to remain at tached to said debentures, and coupons to be returned to Mr Broomhall on fulfilment of the conditions, otherwise forfeited. No. 6. Question of payment of money to A'cnt-Gcneral or the Receiver of Land Revenue.

Mr. Firth moved that the deposit be made to tho Agent-General on 30th April next. No. 7. Resolved (hat tho Grant be made out upon receipt of a telegram from the Agent-General that the money was paid. The Board recommend the Government to constitute the proposed settlement a separate Road Board District, separate ■Kiding, and separate Licensing District.

The Board then rose,

MOUNT HOBSON EDUCATION DISTRICT.

About 20 gentlemen were present. Mr. Angus gave tin account of the progress tnnac'intlie dis trict school since the beginning of laptycnr. The average attendance was 70. It was highly im portant that tho district should have a fiCUOOi or its own, and he would remind the meeting that they still had a promise from the Board of Kdu oation to helptliemiftbcy would raise £50 among themselves. Mr. J. Wriglcy did not think they would succeed in Rotting tho district divided. Tho business of electing a school committee fop tiie ensuing year was then taken, severalgenii.* - men being balloted for with the following result. : aioColi; 12; Clayton.U : Bishop, 10; F. O.
