future by their words and their actions. Ibev would not die yet, and when they xrer* j*ead. the echoes they had created WOUIS resound in proof of their having the good of New Zealand at heart, both for the present and hereafter. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The information in the following article in the " Chronicle" to-night, was obtained by the editor from the Ministers after the Cabinet meeting to-day :—"The political situation has assumed a more settled bias. The rumours of splits in the Cabinet, and dissentions amongst individual members of the Ministry, also possible disruption of the Government, have no foundatioa in fact. There certainly have been some differences of views on one or two subjects on the part of individuals in the Ministry, but such questions have been calmly and dis passionately discussed, and the decision of the majority has been locally acquiesced in by members of the Cabinet. A Cabinet Coun cil was held to-day, when as a result of con sulting with their supporters in the House, it was decided to carry through all the features of their policy save the Beer Duties Bill and the Joint Stock Companies Tax Bill. The Land Bill, Customs Tariff Bill, and Electoral Bill will be adhered to, and Minis ters have received pledges of support that those measures will be carried through. Should there be any Opposition in the Upper House to the Electoral Bill respecting these, the Ministry will resign, obtain a dissolution, and appeal to the country. Judging from various state ments received from different parts we were inclined to believe that the measures to which the Government still adhere will all be carried in the Upper House. If the Upper House should prove obstructive, then there will come about a dissolution, an appeal to the country, and a general election. The abandonment of the Beer Bill and the Joint Stock Companies Tax Bill will necessitate a slight remodelling of the financial pro posals of the Government, so as to make up by some other means the revenue which these measures would have produced. The Colonial Treasurer, the Hon. Mr Ballance, will make an official statement on this subject to the House on Monday." In another article the same paper says the abandonment by the Government of the Beer Duties BiJl is a course which has been forced upon them by a variety of circumstances. The bill has been defeated more by pressure from outside than by the action of the House itself. Ever since the beer tax was proposed there has been a determined, systematic, and persistent agitation against it by brewers and licensed victuallers. The tax tends to injure the interests of the " trade," so it naturally enough followed that brewers and publicans were against it, and inter viewed hon. members, waited upon Ministers, and generally did everything possible against the bill; but underlying this " trade " opposition to these measures there was a real and downright antagonism to it on the part of the working classes, by whom colonial beer is required as a sort of national beverage. The tax itself was small, but brewers made it bigger by unduly increasing the price ; while publicans fol lowed suit. An enormous amount of beer has hitherto been sold to working people "in their own jugs" at 8d per quart. Whenever it was proposed to impose a beer tax publicans raised the price to lOd per quart, an increase of twenty-five per cent, on the previous charges. This increase brought home the reality of the beer tax to working men in a very forcible way, and so it at once became tremendous in their eyes. WHAT A PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITION SAYS. From another source I learn that many members of the Opposition have abstained from voting lately in order not to make divisions too close, and thus consolidate the Ministerial party. A prominent member of the Opposition told your special to-day that the party desire to withdraw Mr Johnston's amendment that the Beer Duty Bill be read this day six months, in order not to risk a division. That they believe the Govern ment will not allow the amendment to be withdrawn, but will endeavour to get a division, in order to wipe out the defeat to some extent. Probably the suggestions from Opposition members on Friday to Mr Johnston to withdraw the amendment were feelers to draw tfee Ministerial party, but this is mere conjecture. LIBEL ACTION. It is understood that the libel action raised by the Hon. John Martin against the "Timaru Herald" has been settled by an apology from the editor, Mr "Wakefield, who denies writing the article. THE DEFICIT. Some Government supporters suggest that deficiency caused by the withdrawal of the Beer Duty and-ioint Stock Companies Bill, should be met out of the surplus revenue of over £100,000 claimed by the Treasurer, the votes in aid of local purposes being reduced, thus obviating thejoiecessity for fresh taxation. SCENE IN THE LOBBIES. A fracas occun ed in the lobbies on Saturday between Colonel Whitmore and Mr Driver. Colonel Whitmore meeting Mr Driver in the lobbies said; "I am astonished at your forsaking the principles on which you were elected. You promised at the caucus to support the Government, and yet voted against them on the Beer Duty Bill." Mr Driver : " I did not promise to support the Government at any caucus." Colonel Whitmore : " You did." Mr Driver: "I say I did not." Colonel Whitmore : "And I again assert that you did, and broke your word." Mr.Driver : " You are a liar, sir." Colonel Whitmore was going to argue the question, but at this interesting and exciting stage, friends intervened, and stayed what might have resulted in blood shed. CONDEMNATION OF MR FOX. A writer from the 1.0. G.T. Lodge, Wel lington, in the "New Zealander" this morn ing says : "If there is one man in New Zealand, who ought to have displayed more .zeal than others in passing the beertax it was Mr Fox. His action is inconsistent, and he has surrendered the esteem, confi dence, and good opinion of the largest Temperance Society of Wellington, in the character bestowed on him by the Temper ance Societies of New Zealand, who cannot understand the action of their apostle. They are inclined to think he has abjured Ms total abstinence principles to give vent to his bitter antagonistic feelings against the Government—a Government more liberal in its views on temperance than any that has preceded it. There is no sympathy out side with Mr Fox. He has broken faith with all the Temperance Societies he had somehow been connected with."

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

The opening service of the Diocesan Synod took Place this morning in St. Paul s Church. A little before eleven o'clock the Biehop of Auck land and the followine; clergy entered, robed :— Archeacons Maunsell, Clark, Pritt, BevDr Kinder, Revs Bree, Lush, Gould Dudley, Nelson, Tomlinson, Calder. Walsh, Kapa, Phillips, and Biggs. The service commenced with Hymn 357, A and M., followed by a lesson read by Rev. V. Gould. The lesson ended, the "Te Deum" was sung, after wmeh succeeded the second lesson, read by Rev. B. N. Bree, and Hymn 321. A. and M. The office of Holy Com munion next followed, at which the Bishopi was thelCelebrant; Archdeacon Clark, the Epistoller, and |Aichdeacon Maunseli, Gospeller. At, tne Communion the Bishop was assisted by Key. Dr Kinder, C. M. Nelson, and A. B; K To™^?so^: The communicants numbered 75. ana an offertory of a little more than £3 was collected towards the expenses of the Synod. The service Was choral throughout; Mr Swallow, organist °*St. Paul's, presiding at the organ, with a choir composed of a portion of St. Paul s choir, assisted by a few of the choir of St. Sepulchre s. THE OPENING. . The Right Reverend the Bishop of Auckland tleliveredthe opening address at the Synod at three o'clock in the afternoon. His opening re §.arka referred to the great labours of the late Bishop Selwyn, making special mention of has contribution £200 a-year for five years to the Home Mission of the Colony, and other .contribu tions to the necessity of both races, continued up to the close of htelife. " Amidst the overwhelm ">g responsibilities of his English D^cese under which at last even Ms iron constitution gave *ay, his interest in our welfare didnot fcmtoishi, fid, well nigh his last breath, whilst his wander- Wt brain pursued its accustomed course, no linger restrained by any consciousness of things aroud him, his words expressed hope for the Natiy© Church of New Zealand.. But it Jas not only by great ana definite ac^ve- *sm,tn the organisation of the Church and

evangelising of the heathen, that Bishop Selwyn won the admiration and the gratitude! of .ova people throughout. Nerw~Zealand', • arid: of this Diocese in particular, but by the elevating ef fects of his personal influence—in the strengthen ing of faith, the cherishing of love, and the en couragement of hope in those with whom he had to do; by his unceasing and self-denying exertions for the benefit of all in matters tem poral as well as spiritual; by the dedication of himself and everything that belonged to him to the increaso of the glory of God and the edifica tion of His Church." Passing from the death of the late Bishop Selwyn His Lordship referred .to the Lambeth Conference. He regretted his inability to attend, one of the chief obstacles being that during the present year, owing to the smallness of the clerical staff, he has had, in addition to his own proper duties, almost every week to supplement the Sunday ministrations of the parochial clergy, by holding services in two or three churches, so as to prevent toe dis continuance of the ordinary services. Mention was made of tho services rendered by the late J. Crispe, J.P., also to the early and lamented death of Mr J. W. Proeco. Referring to the state of tho diocese, His Lordship said:—" I am able to give the Synod a hopeful report of the Church's work in our own Diocese during the past year, notwithstanding the deficiency in the number of our clergy; which has increased by only one in that timo, as the minister of one of the Auckland parishes has been absent from New Zealand since January." After alluding to the appointment of lay-readers and the services rendered by them His Lordship said he considered three additional clergy men were required for the Diocese. On the subject of education, the Bishop said the igno rance of the simple truths of Christianity among many children was apaUing. "The children of the colony, to whatever religious body they may belong, should meet together on some com mon ground for common secular instruction, is doubtless an advantago of inestimable value. The results of such common instruction will assuredly bo hostile to that spirit of sectarianism and mutual distrust, by which in former days, fellow-citizens have throughout their lives been keept apart, and their co-operation in many good causes has been prevented. At the same time, we dare not ignore the fact that the highest and most persuasive ideal of morality, the chief encouragement to persistent well-doing, and the strongest support in tho trials of life, are to be derived from the knowledge of that N ame where by alone " wo must bo saved" now and hereafter; and that knowledgo must, in numberless cases at present, bo imparted in the Board schools or not at all. Under these cirtumstanccs, it is of para mount importance that Churchmen should, through their representatives in the Colonial Parliament, secure to themselves the right of giving definite religious instruction to their own children, in tho day-schools supported by their own industry, at times when the children are likely to receive it with most benefit to them selves." He said that five Maories have been admitted to priest's orders. The last letters from Norfolk Island, tho head-quarters of the Mission, dated Sept. 26, give a very gratifying account of the progress of the work of that Mission. The Bishop nas succeeded in re-establishing friendly relations with the inhabitants of the Reef Islands of the Santa Cruz Group, on one of which a native deacon, Mano Wadrokal, was in July left for a sojourn of some months; and the Mission has for the first time obtained a footing on the Torres' Island in the Banks' Group, where the people received the Missionaries in a very friendly manner last May.

The usual reports and trust aoeounts were laid on the table.

SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) The October criminal sessions of the Supreme Court commenced at 11 o'clock this morning. His Honor having taken his seat, the customary proclamation was made by the Court crier.

Mr F. M. P. Brookfield, Crown Pro secutor, and Mr Pardy, Sub-Inspector of Police, were present. The following gentlemen were sworn in as the Grand Jury : —Messrs James Baber (foreman), David Nolan, David Goldie, Henry M. Morton, Henry Nelson Garlick, Frederick Larkins, William Hall, Phillip Herepath, George Layers, Matthew Henry Roe, James DeiTom^ John Chambers, Thos. Taylor Masefield, William Joseph Cawk well, Richard Baber, John Buchanan, John Abbot, William Cruickshank, Henry Hewin, James Westwood, and Thomas Lindsay Macky. THE JUDGES CHARGE.

His Honor then delivered the following charge : — , Mr Foreman and Gentlemen of the JURY. —The calendar upon the present occasion is not a very serious one—either in the number or serious nature of the crimes committed. There are seventeen prisoners charged with 24 offences against the law. Many of the additional charges are, however, merely indictments for repiti tion of the same offence. You will observe that the ages of many of the prisoners are from 17 to 22 years. They are natives of various countries, and there is one Maori. Their| religions too are varied, comprising Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and one Freethinker, who made free with the con tents of the pocket of his neighbour. . The majority of the prisoners have also been in the colony for various lengths of time, from 1855 to 1877. Five of the prisoners have previously been convicted of offences of greater or lesser mag nitude, and all, with one exception, can read and write. There is one prisoner charged with manslaughter, one with rape, four with forgery, two with malicious destruction to property, one with attempted murder, one with fraudulent bankruptcy, and several with theft from house and person It must be a matter of regret that the crime of forgery is on the increase. It was formerly very frequent, but subsequently decreased. Now, how ever, it is on the increase, and there are no less than four charges of this kind on the calendar. There is one peculiar case of forgery which for your particular attention. A storekeeper who had received an Older for £7 is charged with altering the

figures so as to make the amount £17, 1?Bb' 'offence:of forgery is defined as the making" of a false document to defraud without the consent of the other party concerned. :If you are satisfied'that the order was for £7, and was subsequently altered without con sent to £17, then the offence must come clearly render the definition of forgery. There is one serious case of manslaughter, to which I wish to direct your attention. Killing anyone is murder, unless the cir custances surrounding the case reduce it to manslaughter. Murder is committed with malice aforethought, but where that malicious intent does not exist, as in the case of a sudden quarrel or burst of passion, the case clearly becomes one of man slaughter. Iv the present case, if the evidence appears to be clear that there was no malice, you will return a bill for manslaughter. The evidence shows that there was a sudden quarrel, when the injuries were inflicted. If you are satisfied that these were the circumstances, then the case must be one of manslaughter., There is one case of rape, which calls for special attention. The definition of rape is having committed the act without the woman's permission. It is held that a woman who is insensible cannot give her conscious permission. The circumstances; in the present case are somewhat peculiar. A married woman, said to be subject to fits, is out late at night, and the prisoner is seen with her. She is said to have been taken with a fit, and the two parties are seen together iv the hedge. There is no direct evidence of the offence having been committed, as the woman has no consciousness of what happened. If you can gather that the woman was conscious, then there was no rape. There are facts to show that she was not, and also that she was conscious. There are two cases of perjury, one of these being against a Maori. The crime of perjury is defined as stating in judicial proceedings, anything bearing 1 upon the case which the witness knows to be false. It must be in reference to the matter at issue before the Court. The prisoner in this case said he saw a person wounding a horse, but it appeared from the evidence that he saw nothing of the sort. In the other case a married woman who had been in the habit of getting boots from a store, aaid in evidence where her husband was sued for his liability for the boots, that she always sent written orders for the boots. Now the person by whom the orders are sup posed to have been sent appears to say that he did not get any written orders, but obtained the boots on verbal instructions. The statement was made by the woman in defending the liability of her husband. If you are satisfied that she knew at the tim that she had not given the orders, then there is a clear case. If, on the other han d, you consider that she made a mis take and for got the circumstance, then there is no case against her. The only other case to which I need call your attention is one in which a man steals another man's wife and pro perty. Stealing another man's wife is no offence against the law, but stealing his goods is. The law says that a married woman cannot commit theft on the pro perty of her husband. If any person assists in carrying away the goods he is not. committing theft unless he also intends to commit adultery with the man's wife. But the law also said that there was no crime if the property were only the wife's wearing apparel. The evidence, however, showed, that the prisoner did take other than the wife's wearing apparel. The other cases are simply ordinary larcenies, &c, and it will not be necessary for me to comment upon them. You will now retire to your room and consider the cases. The Grand Jury then retired to their chamber. The Common Jury were then empannelled, of which Mr J. W. Robinson was chosen foreman. TIttTE BILLS. The Grand Jury found true bills against Richard James Torpor, forging and utter ing ; and Michael Butler, on a charge of manslaughter; William Dougall, malicious destruction to property. MALICIOUS DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. William Dougall, New Zealand, labourer, aged 17, single, Church of England, was asraigned upon an indictment charging him with wilfully and maliciously killing one calf, the property of Mr Connelly. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Brookfield said he felt it to be his duty to draw attention to the depositions in order to shew the previous conduct of the prisoner towards the prosecutor. He had placed large stones in the roadway for the purpose of upsetting his cart. In answer to the challenge of the Court, the prisoner had nothing to say. In passing sentence, his Honor said he was exceedingly sorry to see so young a prisoner at the bar, charged with so grave au offence, which shewed such a malicious disposition. If his conduct had taken effect, it might have caused the death of the prosecutor. The penalty provided by law was heavy, but he would merely pass a sentence of two years' imprisonment with hard labour. FORGING AND UTTERING. Eichard James Torpor, aged 46, described as a labourer, was arraigned upon an indict ment charging him with forging and utter ing r with intent to defraud, on the 17th July last. Mr Brookfield, Grown Prosecutor, stated the simple facts of the case. Samuel Coombes, clothier, of Queen street, deposed that on the 17th : July the prisoner made a purchase of some clothing at his shop, in paymentgfor which he ten dered a cheque for £7 0s lOd, and endorsed it by his supposed name, Thomas H. Jones, contractor. He gave him the difference between £6 and the amount of the cheque. Mr E. P. Ludlow, clerk in the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that the cheque was presented for payment at the bank, but there was no account in the name of the person who drew it. Detective Grace deposed to arresting the prisoner, and charging him with the offence. Prisoner said he had been drinking; he I made inquiries,but could find no contractor of that name. He had known prisoner for some time. To prisoner: You were under the influence of drink when I arrested you. Prisoner then addressed the jury, and said he was prevented, through want of means, from employing a legal gentleman, but he would state the simple facts, which were these :—He was on the drink, and met with a person in the Thistle Hotel who had the cheque in his possession. He gave him £5 for it, believing it to be genuine. He used the name of Jones because he was a deserter from the army, fearing that if he went by the name of Torper he should be detected, i His Honor addressed the jury. . The jury found the prisoner guilty. His Honor, in commenting upon the prisoner's previous convictions to which he confessed, sentented him to three years penal servitude. TRUE BILL. ' The Grand Jury found a true bill against Alexander Watson, and Thomas T. Dickin son. MALICIOUS DESTRUCTION OE PROPERTY. Alexander Watson, aged 36, labourer, was arraigned upon au indictment charging him with wilful destruction of property, in Auckland, on the 18th July last. Prisoner pleaded guilty. His Honor said this case appeared to arise, out of folly, and not through any malice aforethought, the sentence, therefore, would he lighter than otherwise. Six months' imprisonment with hard labour. MANSLAUGHTER. Michael Butler, aged 30, was arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with causing the death of John Callaghan, on the 27th of July, at Drury. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Thome appeared for the prisoner, and stated briefly the circumstances of the case, which will be in the recollection of our readers. The prisoner felt his position keenly, and would bear the burden of his misfortune to his grave. By permission of

Jk^J&niL.fce. ~would call -evidence as to •pngoner's character., v .. ( , •_■,■ . -, „ ; i s Hugh' Donovan arid Nicholas Tooi&eyj who had known the prisoner for many years, spoke of him as a hard-working man, and not of a quarrelsome disposition. His Honor in' speaking upou crime, said he had no doubt but the fatal kick was given under great provocation. If it had been done m tair fight the crime would not have been so great, but as death was the result he could not do less than give him two years' hard labour. FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY. Thomas; Thexton Dickenson surrendered his bail/ and appeared in answer to an indict meut charging him with removing furniture and goods from his residence, Victoria street, on or, about the 10th July, with in tent to defraud his creditors. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Hesketh addressed the Court on behalf of the prisoner, who was known for many years as a respectable builder, and who was always desirous of maintaining that character. About two years ago he met with a very serious acci dent, which hindered him for a long tune from following his employment, and which placed him in pecuniary difficulties. He was compelled to seek the protection of the Bankruptcy Court, and in a weak moment he was led to commit the offence for the sake of his wife and family. Richard Cameron, contractor, had known prisoner 19 years as an upright, respectable man. Robert Kay, builder, had known prisoner 18 years, and gave him a similar recommendation. Wm. Fraser (Fraser and Tinne) had also known prisoner for nearly 20 years as an honest man, and three of his sons were in the employ of the firm which he represented, His Honor remarked upon the case, and awarded a sentence of nine calendar months with, hard labour. HOESE STEALING. Henry Funke was found guilty of stealing a horse at Tairua. On being asked if he had anything to say why judgment of the Court should not be passed upon him, prisoner assumed a wild stare, and said " Yes," a great deal, but I don't intend to say it." His Honor reserved sentence until the morning, in order to ascertain the state of the prisoner's mind. CHARGE OF RAPE. No true bill was retured by the Grand Jury in the case of Daniel McSweeney, on a charge of rape at Jnehunga. The prisoner was discharged. STEALING FROM THE PERSON. James Troy, charged with stealing from the person of Win. H. Cobley, one gold watch and chaiu and locket, while at the Greyhound Hotel, pleaded guilty.—Sen tenced to nine calendar months with hard labour.

Baker and Farron, on Saturday, at the Theatre Royal, drew a crowded house, there was hardly standing roam in the dress circle, and the pit, and stalls were crammed. The Maori Murderer. A Hawera telegram, dated October sth, says the search party have returned. They traced Hiroki in the dense forest within a day and a half's march ot Ngatimaru. The tracks are four of five days old. The party theught it hopeless to overtake him as several tracks from Ngatimaru lead to the King country. He is now probably there.

After the fire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as there is space between the fragments of fuel for a free current of air. The value of Coke as a fuel and as a means of economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of Coal and Coke is invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means.—fAdvt.]
