THE TEMPERANCE DEBATE.

The debate between the Total A bstinence Society and St. James' Discussion Class on the question " Does the colony lose pecuniarily by the sale of intoxicating drinks? was resumed in the Temperance Hall >a«t evening. Notwith standing the inclemenr y of the weather the ball waa crowded, a flumbsr of percpns, who arrived after the time specified for the opening of the debate, failed in obtaining seats. Rev AJlan W. Webb assodn took the chair.

Mr Francis Cherry continued the debate on the afflrmadve side of the question. In open ing he referred to the form of tho challenge tent by the Total Abstinence Society, which, he said, did not gelect this ps.rticu'ar ground of discus sion. Mr lCwitigton in his speech on the previous evening appeared to think that the government meant the colony, but this wa« not so. Mr Cherry then quoted from Lord Shaftes bory and a number of _o her authorities to show that a proportion of iuqui-s s wero rendered necessary through dri:ik. Ha had ponp to soma trouble in ascertains the rovonucf com the drink traffic in Auckland, ani had found that the ievanuo from licenses in Auckland, for the past twelve months, wai £12,321 and tho cost, of the police, hospitals, asylums, gaol, dispensary, etc., for six months, whs £13,951. These figures iippherl to 1875. In refer ence to Mr Nfcjiier'B quotation regarding the least and moat drunken counties in Kn^land. he considered that pauperism there depended in a great measure or- tho rates of wa-ces paid, which, he showed, UifTe-ed tv aeon-ide-able extent. (Cheers.) Mr .Edward Cooper (St. James') replied in the negative. He apologia : f.»r any shortcomings ou his part, but he, appears d ir» the character of a substitute for Mr Meyer, and therefore he had very little time to prepare for the debate. He had listened to tho speeches of Messrs JSdger and Brame last Friday cve'iiny, a«d after con sidering: the matter, ne had come to the oon clusion that they had no>; treated Use subject fairly and impartially. Mr p'd^er had argued that evory drop of aieohol taken inro a man's system injured him. and therefore it was an injury to the community £?<)n«ral y. Now, on the same principle tic would put ihe argument in a liKhfc. There was a large. sum of money stolen every year, and becauiie some men ware thieves, did it f olio4*/ that we were all implicated in the crime?? He said it was im possible to work out our coal, gold, mid other industries unless wo provide* stimulants for the labourers. (Derisive laughter and hi>>se3.)

The Chairman requested thut the audience would refrain from hisointf.

Mr Cooper said he was rather p'eased that they had hissed, as it eshowed that ther« were those present who could not. form an unbiassed opinion. (Cheera.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

VOLUNTEER PROMOTION. The ron. Colonel Brett in the Legislative Council to-day moved for various returns in connection with the military store; the number of efficient volunteers, ard non efficient, the quantity of ordinance,ara:nrmi tion, etc. He urged that it was desirable to reward efficient volunteer officers by pro moting them to the militia, with the same_ rank th«y now hold. They would be'proud of their rank, and it would give them a stimulus in the execution of their duty.

The Hon. Colonel "Whittnore said most of the information required would be found in his annual report. When the Govern ment saw that European affairs presented a more peaceful aspect they withheld the order for 64-pounders from home, in order to procure newer tirrcis, which were now on the way. With regard to the Uatling guns recommended by Colonel Brett, the inven tion was not yet complete. Every day alterations were being made, and the Government had decided to wait until they assume a more approved shape. It wins undesirable to bring out arms not com pletely proved. He wan not afraid of any foreign enemy attempting to lnnd. If they did, th» Volunteers would be able to report a good account of them. But he was afraid of piratical cruisers. When the armament arrives the country will be no longer in danger. As to providing repeat ing rifles, they might have a weapon which ■would shoot "too fast. It was found that the Chassepot rifle, in the hands of an excitable people like the French, was so rapidly discharged that it was impossible to keep up the supply of ammunition. Allow ing that our race was less excitable, still there would be great waste. Arms were short for Cadet Volunteers. He was loth to starre the movement for want of arms, and therefore isduced the Cabinet to send home for 2,500 more rifles for Cadets. Every other branch have sufficient arms. There were some Bor 10,000 Enfield rifles in the store, almost new. They haVe powder, and a quantity of balls, which could be made into cartridges in a short time. It had been his aim t.o render the volunteers self-reliant. Me had pro moted them and given bonuses to encourage them whenever possible. At the Thames he saw aa fine a company of highland volun teers aa ever he saw in his life ; they were beautifully dressed, aad took great interest in volunteering. He did not approve of the system of rewarding volunteer officers by putting them in the Militia. The Militia was too much encumbered with non-effective officers, and he had been endeavouring to re duce thenumber. Thetwo different services should be kept separate. The motion was agreed to. RESERVE AT NEWMARKET.

With reference to the reformatory Reserve at Newmarket, Mr Tole has introduced a bill to discharge this reserve of present trust, viz., as an endow ment for a reformatory, and make it a recreation reserve, to be tinder the control and management of the Newmarket Dis trict Board.

THE POWERS OF JUDGES.—MR

TOLE ON CONTEMPT,

Mr Tole, speaking on the second reading ■of the Judicial Commissions Bill, Jeaid he rose with a desire of expressing his opinion upon the bill. He regarded it as one of a very solemn character. He felt as if walk ing among the tombs of the great lawyers and judges who had been the founders of our judicial system a»d laws, and that he should tread lightly upon their memories. It might be urged that, being an officer of the Court and a barrister, he might forego •thatposition, and not speak on this occasion, but he felt he was not to-night so much speaking professionally as in the capacity of •a representative of the people ; that their liberties are, to some extent, in his hands ; and he -was called upon not only to vote, but to express his opinion. It might be said he had some partiality. The question .has two sides, and he might take either, but he would endeavour to go evenly between ■them. The bill embraced the abstract ques tion of contempt, but he must recognise it in the concrete aepersonal. The circumstances which led to this bill notwithstanding, and ■the apparent end and aim of the bill, he must decline to consider that the reputation ■of any judge or person wa*i at stake. He hoped the question would not be made a party one. All personal questions should be excluded. He was very sorry the mem ber for Kaiapoi introduced the present element. He went away from the real point, and mentioneda barrister by name. The question might have been considered in the abstract, without any concrete reference. Notwithstanding what had been said, the bill proposed to define the power* of judges ; to define the relation of judges to Parliament, and investigate certain alleged irregularities. He would support the bill, not so much on the former grounds as on the ground of the necessity of investigating the case of imprisonment. Involved in this bill were the liberty of the subject, freedom of speech, the relations of the people to the highest judicial tribunal iv the laud, the relations of the Bench to the bar, and the bar to the Bench. Whilst he must .regard the whole fabric of the Bench as sanctified and inviolable, the House must be jealous of any unwarrant able practice which might creep into the law and interfere with, the privileges of the

people. It lay at the root of all our free institutions, aiid when it was alleged there hud been tyrannical abuse by those -who are almost "irresponsible Crown-appointed iudividuala, it behoved the House to look around ami see if there had been any wrongful exeiui.se of power. They should carefully guard the .independence of, and throw a shield of protection around the Bench, the more j-o as it is desirable the Bench should exorcise their functions wisely ; but Parliament and the public should also watch vigilantly that the judges exercised their functions wisely. The yentlemau who introduced the bill touched upon two important i elements in it. i!e spoke of the power of the House to commit for contempt, and afterwards drew v. comparison between the judge.-; and Parliament. It was now almost a Constitutional doctrine that the Colonial House of Assembly has power to commit for contempt. This was laid down in 1556, when Lord Chief Justice Cockburn gave judgment with regard to the power exercised in the colony of Newfoundland. That decision was afterwards confirmed in a case recorded in "Moore's Cases." (He quoted the extract). From that it appeared that Parliament had no power tv commit for contempt, but there could be no question that the Supreme Courts of the colony have power. The Attoiucy-Oeneral said if Parliament possessud body ,to commit for contempt, because a lesser power, the Judicial Bench has power; but lie forgot to draw the distinction between the legislature and courts. Mr Toley/en ton to show from extracts from the Attorney-General's speech that he admitted a court possessed power to commit for contempt. Both tho common and statute law existing in 1840 were made applicable to thecok>-uy..and were confirmed by the Supreme Court Act, 1860. Even if there was no special authority Mr Clarke, in his work on colonial law said it might be laid down as a general principle that in all cases not pro Tided for the law of England would be the law in the colonies possessing constitutions, but only so much of the Statute Law as existed when the colony received its constitution,, and the English statutes passed since would not apply, uuless it were specially provided. That doctrine was disputed by colonial lawyers, but not admitted to be correct. That being the state wf the law, he questioned whether it was open to the House to consider whether the powers of judges should be denned, This bill must ultimately lead up to a definition or limitation of the powers of judges. He had considered the question with consider able anxiety, and come to the conclusion that the powers of judges should not be limited ; but still there were grounds in this case for a Judicial Commission. Ha did not believe iv Commissions independent of Parliament, J&hich as a rule were inis chievious; bw? in thi« oase a Commission issuing from Parliament would be perfectly constitutional. i3e did not beliere there was any necessity for lnniting the powers of judges. Their powers, especially in England, had not been exercised arbi trarily. He did not think that since the revolution there had been any necessity to call on any judge to resign by .address to the Crown from both Houses of Parliament. The only cases were those of two Irish judges named Fox and Johnson, who were proved to have been guilty of partiality and gross libel. An inquiry was held at great length, and the result was that the judges resigned. This was in 1805. When the judges had existed in this colony for thirty tive years without complaint that they ex ercised their powers wrongly, there was do necessity now to'limit them. They were now establishing a system of education to educate the people generally and politically, and would in til into the minds of the people a desire to gnard their own liberties ; they aleo had a press growing up, which he believed to be independent, and winch would express opinions, and keep the objects contemplated iv this bill in view. They sh uld rather exalt the Press than ignore it. They should not reduce the editors of journals to the position of job printers, but limiting the powers of judges would degrade them in the state, and limit their powers of action. They would be j)lnced in a worse position than judges. Other colonies would also limit the liberty of the subject. Power was vested in judges not for their own dignity, but for the public good. To limit the powers of judges would be to deprive them of the privileges entrusted to them for the public good. Nor had th^re been a general expression of opinion in the colony respecting the action of judges. Opinions were only from Christchurch and Dunedin. To limit the power of judges would he casting a slur on the J3o7ich. The bar itself would also open the door for smuggling statutes through the House to further curtail their power hereafter, and reverse the effect of the old time-honoured, established judicial decisions. Judges were entrusted with discretion which could not be denned. If they attempted to deprive them of it they would leave noihiiig hue a name. The whole question of contempt depends upon the circumstances. No Court would review the de«ision of another in each case, be cause words used, however innocent, might appear to be uttered in such a manner of tone »s to give offence and amount to contempt. Though they should not limit the power of Judges, Parliament might inquire how those powers had been exer cised. Whether there had been any tyrannical abuse of those powers or indi vidual liberty (-outraged, the particular case referred to (Mr Barton's) appeared to him a most monstrous one. He quoted a case where a juryman remonstrated, and the Judge made a strong comment, and the counsel, addressing the jury, said it was fortunate he had more than one juryman. The Judge demanded an ex planation, which counseF declined to give. The Judge fined him £20. .The Court of Queeii's Bench declined to interfere, because it could not make known the real circumstances.. The Commission w*ould only see the words on paper, and know nothing of the circumstances. Duncan said there was not a case in the books where the Court inflicted a fine on a barrister. In the case of Davison, he was a suitor, not acting as counsel. He was fined £40. In the present case a barrister of high . standing was put into prison for one month in spite of a Habeas Corpus, and repeated applica tious for Habeas Corpus. Therefore there were sufficient grounds for inquiry. He would support the bill,fand sincerely hoped it would be passed. The independence of the bar was as important as the independ ence oi the Benoh. Neither the freedom of speech of the judges nor of the bar should be limited. The conduct of the bar could not be defined by statute. Rules have been handed down in perpetuity by the conduct of members of the bar who had gone before. The bar should be allowed all passible license, if it did not descend into a nuisance.

He quoted from Lord Campbell's " Lives of Judges," and the statement of Lord Campbell, that in the administration of justice he never allowed his passions to sway him. The words should be written in letters of gold over the Royal arms placed over the judicial Bench. It would be dangerous to give the Bench power to turn a barrister out of Court, and stop his mouth. He would support inquiry, par ticularly as to the power of the Bench, over the press.

Mr Fox said there was no doubt that Judges possessed [power to commit for con tempt. He reviewed the quarrel between Mr Barton and the Judges, and said there was no doubt the former had been very irritating and disrespectful, although not without provocation. Lawyers being officers of the Court were specially under its jurisdiction. He thought the punish ment was altogether excessive. To have prohibited! Mr Barton from pleading would have been a better course. When Mr Barton was fined l-efore he set the Judges at defiance. Mr Macandrew supported the bill. He thought the question should be considered without reference to Mr Barton. It affected

,'i the"liberty of every subject.- Nothing so ', v;outrageous had beeh done since the days | !;of the Star Chamber. -; ' ' 1 I Dr Hodgkinson also supported second j reading. It was as much within the sphere '■ of the Colonial Parliament as of Congress to define the powers of Judges. He thought they wanted defining. MX J. S. MACFaBLANE ON CON TEMPT OF COURT. Mr Macfarlane, on the Judicial Com missioners Bill, hoped the result of the discussion would be to define the powers of judges. Like Mr Barton, he had been threatened and fined for contempt of Court. On one occasion he would have been sent to gaol, but the accommodation there was not good enough. On another occasion he was adjudged guilty of con tempt of Court for writing a letter which was perfectly proper. The Judge ad mitted the ' law was bad, but said he must appeal to the Assembly to get it repealed. The^ Judge summoned him for contempt of Court, but on second thoughts said the letter was rather courteously worded, and only just bordered on contempt. He hoped this dis cussion would free the country from the arbitrary and tyrannical powers of judges. ."When he thought the judge's decision wrong he always found a difficulty in venti lating matters'through the pres3, because they feared punishment for contempt of Court. His plan would be: Give the judges certain power to commit for con tempt, but compel them to release on a bill being provided, and then let the accused be trieefby jury. With regard to comments in the newspapers, let judges stand in the fame position as other citizens ; and if the press could prove the statement, thej should not be sent to gaol for contempt. The judges possessed most monstrous power. They even gazetted the press. If the person aggrieved went with a letter commenting on the con duct of judges to the editor, be would say :- " Your case is a good one. I agree ' with what you say ; but the power of the Court is' so great that I dare not publish unless you strike out such and such portions." In all canes where he was brought up for libel before a jury they always said there wiw no case, and he was perfectly justified. He was in favour of abolishing the power of the Court to control the press. If the press were at liberty any wrong acts of justice could always b<? redressed. In New South Wales, where a case of complaint against judges occurred, a newspaper weiit into the matters, and the result was that the judges were beaten, lie did not say the press should be allowed to publish libels, but any person who wished to ventilate a grievance in 'proper and respectful language should be allowed to publish in the press without the Judge having the power of sending to gaol for contempt. Sir George Grey said the powers claimed by judges were such as to shock the imagination. Judges had at one time claimed the right of torturing to death, of sentencing for iritchcnift, and one Irish woman was hemgnd because she could not say the Lords Prayer in English although unable to speak the language. The light of public opinion had caused these nion strositities to be swept away. Juries and not Judges were the bulwark of the liberty of the subject. The Judges had acted wrongly in exercising a power which had fallen into disuse. He condemned the power given to Judges over the organs of public opinion. He warmly complimented the mover of the bill, and said that Messrs Fox, Bowen, the Attorney-General, and others who had admitted that Mr Barton was shamefully used should support this measure of redress. Mr De Latour, in replying, said he ex pected the opposition of the Attorney- General. That gentleman could not do otherwise in his position than defend the Bench, but he still maintained that the arbitiary power given to judges was re pugnant to all principles of justice. All authorities on constitutional law agreed on the tynannical nature of those powers. On division the motion for second reading was lost by 39 sgam<-t 27. The division- list was as follows :—Ayes, 27 : Baigent, Ballance, BarfF, Brown (Tuap«ka),CarrinKton, De Lautour, Dignan, Fisher, George, Grey, Hamlin, Hislop, Hodgkinson, Macandrew, McMinn, Moss, Murray, Nahe, O'Rarke, Kees, Reeves, Seaton, Sheehan, Swanson, Taiaroa, Tole, Wallis.

MUNICIPALITY GAS COMPANY. Tho Committee of the Legislative Council, on the petition of the Wellington Gas Com pany, report that municipalities desiring to establish gas companies should come before Parliament with a special bill, as in the case of private companies. LAND TAX BILL. The House in committee re-considered the postponed clauses, and several new clauses were introduced. Mr Wakefield made a strong stand for the pastoral tenant, but was defeated, and the bill was reported for third reading, when Mr Wakefield, in accordance with notice given, will move, for a re-comraittal, to save his runholding friends. land claims. The Land Claras Fiual Settlement Bill passed. CUSTOMS TARIFF BILL. The Colonial Treasurer moved the second reading of the Customs Tariff Bill, which was agreed to. The House resolved itself into committee on the bill. -A good deal of discussion occurred on various clauses, with several divisions, but the Government proposals in each case were affirmed. In schedule 1, Mr Saunders moved the omission of woolpacks, but it was retained by 29 to 21. The duty on children's No. 0 to 6 and slippers was reduced froTn 3s to 2s ; on women's lasting and stuff boots, the words "without military heels" were added, amidst great laughter, and the duty reduced from 7s to ss. Mr Barff wanted an interpretation of the clause inserted, to define "military heels." On slippers, other than children's, " without military heels," was inserted, and the duty reduced from 5s to 4s. . GRALN AJND TIMBER DUTIES. , A long discussion occurred on schedule two. Mr Wason advocated a mission of, duty on timber as a fair compromise for the removal of the duty on grain. The Treasurer said the duty on grain was an unfair impost on different parts of the j colony. The whole amount of grain im- | ported into tht colony last year was 44,000 i bushels, of which 35,000 went to Auckland, { and the remainder to the West Coast. Item j graia retained on division by 25 to 19. Mr Tulubull moved that " grain ground" be struck out, which was negatived by 24 to 17.

The Treasurer moved an addition to the second schedule of the words " timber, sawn, pidings, shingles, and Jaths," which, was carried, so that the duties on these cease on the first of January next. On the question that the second scheeule pass, Mr Macfarlane divided the House—ayes, 27 ; noes, 11 The schedule passed as amended. The Bill was reported, and the third read ing ordered for Thursday. The House adjourned at 1.30.

The fourth annual races took place to-day at the Ellerslie race-course. Good sport was from the firnt confidently expected, not only on the grounds of the glorious un certainty of hurdle and steeplechase contests, but also from the fact of the increased competition among comparatively unknown horses, and that familiar horses have beeu pitted for the first time against other familiar horses. Last year's race meeting -was not altogether satisfactory in many respects. The chief event, the steeplechase, brought out only two horses, Don Juan and Fanny, the former winning the race. To-day this event introduced seven horse*, ridden by gentlemen riders, one of whom is a Melbourne gentleman on a visit to Auckland. Last year, as on the present occasion, the stables of Mr McGee were unrepresented, though from totally different causes. Last year he would not run, but this year he cannot on acconnt of disqualification.

Racecourse, 1.30 p.m. Previous to the 12.80 tram leaving Auck land a respectable - looking youth was vaulting over the hand-rail in front of the traffic manager's office, when he fell heavily to the ground, breaking his arm. Sergeant- Major Mason kindly arranged with the driver of one of Messrs Ireland Brothers' vehicles to convey the sufferer away to a chemist's shop. He is said to be a son of Capt. Macgregor, of Wellington-street. A large number of spectators have been tempted out to the races. The general impression is that the wisest cannot pick out the winning horses, and an excellent day's sport is a certainty. First Race—Hurry Skurry. Only two entered, Quinlan's Barney (Connelly), and Hunt's Fly (Inorpe). A good raco was anticipated, th* odds being in favour of Hunt* horse. Barney led until entering the straight for th« finish, whea Thorpe was observed calling <m Fly. WMpfl were freely used, and an exciting ■ race to the winning post brought Barney in winner by a neck. The horse was put up by auction, and wasbou&ht in by the owner for £25 15s.

Mulcahy Brothers had the start, Cossack second, Robinson Crnsoe third. In this order the jumps were taken, until arriving at the water-jump, which, brought all together. Cossack, on the second trial, took the jump in fine style, and was quickly followed by Mulcahy Brothers and Kobinson Crusoe, in the order named. The horses got out of the race-course, and crossed the road. Kenealy's walls were cleared without any change of position, but Tearaway did not get out of the race-course. The three horses named were evidently making a. race of it. On ascending the first hill, Smith brought Mulcahy to the front, Robinson Crusoe took second place, with Cossack a close third. Mnlcany led down Eade's paddocks across the green lane, followed by Cossack; Robinson Crusoe stuck in the lane. After jumping Crowther's hurdles, Mulcahy was stopped by a ditch close to the Ellerslie course. Here Cossack took the lead, and on passing the Grand Stand the first time, Cossack's rider, f Wight, | was loudly cheered us he took the two hurdlee,Co«sack clearing them io biautiful style, Mulcahy Brothers following about six lengths behind, but knocked one of the hurdles down. The second time round, Cossack took every fence, and also the water jump without a baulk. Mulcahy Brothers baulked at the, water course the second time, and would not face it until the arrival of Robinson Crusoe, when the two horses took it together, and appeared about to make a race for the second place, but after Kenealy'e paddocks were crossed Robinson Crusoe refused to jump out of the green lane.^ Cossack camo in winner, and his rider was loudly cheered ; Mulcahy Brothers a bad second. Jonathan Wild, Sea King, and Rocket, were scratched.

Betting was vigorous at the following prices : 6to 4 against Robinson Crusoe; 2 to 1, Mulcahy Biothers; 2 to 1, Tear away ; 4to 1, Cossack. 6to 1 was offered against Rocket.

Mr Hesketh in support of the demurrer, and Mr Lusk in opposition, were heard at length, and His Honor finally decided to take time to consider his judgment.
