GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVERNORS.

A MEETING of the Board of Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School ■was held this morning at the office of the Board, O'Connell-atreet. Present : His Honor Mr Ju-fcice Gillies (in the chaii), Colonel Haultfiiii, Dr. Campbell, and Mr Brett. INCREASE OF SALARIES, Mr Tomlinsou, teacher of the Grammar School, wrote in reply to the resolution proposed at the last meeting, enclosing a copy of the advertisement from the " Daily Southern Cross" of October 7th, 1873, stating the Board would be prepared to increase the salary of the English master after a period of successful service. Un fortunately he land been unable to obtain a copy of the newspaper containing the advertisement. Colonel Houltam thought they should refer thematter to Mr Macrae, Headmaster of the school, aud allow him to report if the service had been successful.

The Chairman considered that if Mr TomlinsoH had satisfactory filled his position, he deserved an increase of salary. lie read the scale of salaries paid to the teachers in the Wellington, Nelson Otago, and Canterbury Colleges. Mr Brett expressed himself in favour of an increase being granted, in the event of a favourable report being received from Mr Macrae.

The matter was then referred to Mr Macrae for his report. A letter was received from Mr Robertson on the same subject, in compliance with a request from the Board, stating that he had been led to understand by the Head-master that he would receive an increase of salary if his duties were- satisfactorily performed. He had formerly been Head-master of the Thames school, and left that position to come to Auckland. He enclosed the letters in question from Mr Macrae. This letter was also referred to Mr Macrae to report upou. FINANCIAL POSITION. The Chairman said the most important business before the meeting was the con sideration of the financial position of the Board. He had looked over the receipts and expenditure of the trust, and found that there was not much probability of an increase in the fuuds. The ordinary re ceipts aud expenditure belauced each other within £10. He did not see, therefore, how they could spend £3,000 in the erection of school buildings, which would lessen the income by about £240. He then read a list of endowments in various parts of the city, which would full in in 1879, 1881, aud 1882. Mr Brett suggested the advisability of obtaining aid from the Government.

The Chairman. : We are at present living hand-to-mouth, and unless we have other means we connot provide school buildings. increase salaries, and do various other things which are necessary. Colonel Haultaifi : Masters in the Gram mar School are at present at the minimum. We should have more masters than at present. A class of 56 boys is too much for one man. We should have a drawing master, for instance. Mr Brett : There is as great a want for a singing master as a drawing master. Colonel Haultain. : And the boys should be taught gymnastics, botany, and other branches.

The Chairman then read a statement of j the income and expenditure of the Welling- f ton, Otago, Canterbury, and Nelson i Colleges, with a table of fees, &c. So far as the endowments were concerned, Auck- | land was not far behind the others. The Otago University received £600 per annum from the Presbyterian Church towards the endowment of one of the Professors. Can terbury had a grant of £2293 from the land fund, and Wellington also had a grant from the Government. The fees at Nelson were £12 10s per annum ; at Wellington, £9 9s for boys under 12 years, and £12 12s for boys over 12 ; while in Auckland the charge was only £8 Bs—thus being lower than in any other part of the colony. Mr Brett : I would suggest that the fees be increased. The Secretary stated that the fees of the Parnell Grammar School amounted to £10 per aunum. The Chairman : If other schools charge more, I do not see why we should be com peting with them, and cutting down the fees. I would suggest an increase to £2 10s per quarter, or £10 per annum. Colonel Haultap explained that £2 2s per quarter were paid' by the boys, but 2s was deducted by the teachers, for stationery etc. supplied. Mr Brett: I think the Board should receive all the fees, and provide the sta tion eiy. The Chairman : The statement of accounts for last year shows an expenditure of £52 tor maps, books, stationery etc., while the whole of the fees are included in the receipts. Colonel Hani tain : The masters purchase school-books, and supply them to the pupils at increased prices, independent of the fees. Mr Brett : I do not object to that, but I think the Board .should provide the stationery. Colonel Haultain deprecated the practice of school-books being supplied to the pupils i by teachers. ' Mr Brett : Would it not be better to allow the boys to provide their own sta tionery. This was objected to by the chairman. A statement of the expenditure on school buildings by Southern Colleges was read, and showed a considerable sum paid for building purposes. Colonel Haultain : Where did they get that money ? The Chairman : From mortgaged endow ments.

Colonel Haultaiu : Then, we can raise £IG,OOO. The Chairman : We would have to pay the interest. Another statement, showing the cost of tuition for each scholar in the various colleges, was read by the Chairman. The cost per head iv the South was much greater than here, where it amounted to £15 per annum. Colonel Haultain : And the boys pay £8. The Chairman thought they should make a representation to the Government to the effect that the expenditure of the trust fund was so great when compared with the re ceipts as to leave no margin for the erection of buildings ; that the Governors were at present without a school building ; that the education given in the school was not in ferior, as was shown by the fact that several of the pupils had passed various examinations; that the Governors merely desired sufficient money to erect the necessary buildings, and did not want an annual grant; and that a his tory of the trust be included in the applica tion. He thought they could get a draft of this prepared, printed, aud forwarded to the Auckland representatives, and they would most likely obtain their support. Dr. Campbell suggested that the Chair man should prepare a draft to that effect. Mr Brett : The Head-master will no doubt be glad to do it, seeing that he takes such an interest in the matter. Col. Haultain : Is the application to be for the placing on the estimates of a sum for the erection of the building ? The Chairman : Yes. Mr Brett stated that he would be leaving for Wellington on Tuesday next, and he would do all in his power to have the matter pushed on. He thought he could interest several Southern members in the application. The meeting then separated, on the understanding that the draft should be prepared by the Chairman and the Head master, and afterwards be sub mitted to the members of the Board.

SUPREME COURT.—YESTERDAY.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

DX THIERRY V. FITZGERALD (CONCLUDED.)

Claim £500, commission. Mr Tyler for plaintiff, and Mr Hesketh for defendant

Thomas Edward Fitzgerald, a resident of Ponsonby, and defendant in this case, gave his version of the whole transactions in connection with the block 3of land in the Kaipara. He gave plaintiff £10 to pay his expenses in February, 1875, and accom panied him to the place. Defendant then gave evidence aa to difficulties In the way, and the frequnnti troubles with the natives who were continually changing their minds about the land. He found that Cap tain Lowry had a yearly right, by paying £20 annually of running cattle over 5,000 acres. This was very objectionable, hence he declined to lease the Pontu block, as this was " picking the eyes out of it." He then gave evidence as to the way he alleged the document was signed, concluding by stating that he never could have completed the pur chase of lhe O'Kahukura block without the aid of Mr Nelson, who concluded it in a biref period of time. The interview with Machattie at his house at Ponsonby was stated, the conversation at which was overheard by Mrs Nicholson, defendant's housekeeper, and tended to contradict the evidence given by Machattie. The £10 was not given as a loan to a native, Te Hemera. Had often advanced money to Mr De Thierry, in all £72. He offered to pay to Machattie £20. He never said he would not pay anything, only that De Thierry might take what steps he liked.

Catherine Nicholson, wife of Edward Nicholson, residing in Ponsonby, and in the service of Mr Fitzgerald, deposed that she knew Mr Machattie. Saw him in August. Mr Fitzgerald saw him. She was in the adjoining room. Heard them conversing about a block of land in the Kaipara. Mr Machattie said he wanted some money. A good deal was said about Mr De Thierry. Machattie asked for £20. Mr Fitzgerald said he would give £7 or £S, when Mr Machattie said he would give her £50 if she would help to get the £300 from Mr Fitzgerald. She walked away. He made no further remark.

To Mr Tyler : She was not a listener. Was in the next room during the whole of the conversation.

This was the case.

Mr Hesketh tifen addressed the Court for the defence, and Mr Tyler replied. His Honor then went carefuily through the evi dence, and submitted the case to the jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff of £100, His Honor ce.tifying the costs.

The Court rose at 9.10 p.m

THEATRE ROYAL.

•i THE TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN

TOM TAYLOR'S capital melodrama, " The Ticket of Leave Man," was produced at the theatre last night with Mr Steele as Hawk shaw, Mrs Hill as May|Ecl wards, aud Miss Morgan as Emily St. Evremond. Mr Bur ford undertook the part of the Lancashire lad, Bob Brierly, which Mr Henry Neville used to play so well at the Olympic. He acted with great spirit throughout, and made a bold attempt, at the Lancashire dialect. Mrs Walter Hill proved an ex cellent May Edwards. Miss Lizzie Morgan was lively and amusing as Emily St. Evremond, and gained a hearty encore for the song of "Twilight in the Park," which she introduced into the third act. Mr Steele was a very good Hawkshaw, and Mr Emmett a fair Jem Dalton. Mr Musgrave's

jj Melter Moss was a capital piece of character 3 acting. The Mrs Willoughby of Miss Jessie 1 Raymond was one of the best things we have ever seen that lady do. The audience seemed vastly amused and applaudedkradly. Miss May also deserves great praise for her Sam^E°FOTSEKN TO-NIGHT. To-night Mr Lytton Sothernwill make his first appearance in Auckland as Lord Dundreary in " Our American Cousin which play (before the day of Our Boys ) could boast the longest run of any piece eber produced in London. Mr Lytton Sotherns representation of Dundreary has been greatly praised by the Australian and Southern press, and is stated by competent critics to be a perfect replica of his father s world-famed personation. The "Melbourne Argus' says: Mr Sothern's Lord Dundreary is one of those exceedingly happy conceptions which grow upon you, and, with a longer acquaintance, brine's out new and more striking pecu liarities, and instinctively provokes roars of Jaughter. Mr Sothern's acting is a pro found study from an artistic point of view, while as a provocative of unrestrained and uncontrollable laughter, it stands pre eminently above anything of the kind before seen in this city. Almost the whole time Mr Sothem is on the stage he keeps the audience in a convulsive state of laughter. The " Syduey Morning Herald says: Uf Mr Sothern's ability there can be no question. There is a perfect naturalness in speech and gesture, which in anybody else but the eccentric nobleman would be absurd, and as this pervades his powers of thought, no less than his utterances, the ridiculous con clusionsat which he arrives ore perfectly in ac cord with his mode of reasoningand his life.

KVENINO STAR, WEONkSDAY, JULY 1 ?



[advertisement.] GOLDEN PAH AND UNION BEACH GOLD MINING COMPANIES. " Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," To the Editor: Sir,—A long rigmarole appeared in the columns of the Evening Star a. few days ago, in regard to proceedings in the Union Beach and Golden Pah mining interests, mis was signed "F. Woollams." This is the name of a well-known inhabitant of Kapanga, who is supposed to have had the welfare of that town ship and the Coromandel district at general at heart, at least so far as it. welfare accords with his own. The letter is ingenious, in so far as it mixes up facts with suppositions in » manner that would puzzle any but a man whoihas watched the progress of the district from its early commencement, to the time of the engargi tatlon of many of tho best paying claims into the caSufmaws of a few omnivorous animals The letter, although scarcely worthy of the rmblicitv which this writing will accord to it, £ nev«rthX_»_ dangerous, on account of a certain amount of plausibility which may impose on the casual reader or such as are not fully aware of the feots. I will proceed to dissect his ingenious mass of verbiage, and assert, if >'0t prove, the inaccuracy of most of his statements. 1. rte says: "In the first place tho promoter of the New Golden Pah Company has been a promoter and shareholder in all those Companies from whence the Union Heach claim is derived, a"d as such promoter and shareholder sold lus interests and shares for large sums of money. _ This, Mr Editor, is a perversion of facts. It is so tar correct that I did sell shares but I did so at a very great loss, having purchased at 265, and sold for 10s each soon afterwards. The next statement, to the effect that I personally worked on certain leaders during the time I was a shareholder in those mines., is absolutely untrue, as I never worked for wages iv Coromandel KOldfleld or any other place in the country, in which I have been for more than 20 yearsa colonist, and a thoroughly-experienced miner in all matters connected with sold. In the next place, our friend of the goose quill goes on to say that I " well know of aud personally worked on these au-iferou. l.nders during the time he was a shareholder in those Companies whose ground was afterwards acquired by the Union Beach Company, and which leaders he pretends were newly discovered by him." Then Mr Woollams goes on to say : " This promoter well knew that the Union Heach Company had not a written title from the Government to the foreshore, ahhougU it had purchased all the native Interes-, therein, and the then Govern ment had promised, and the then Provincial Secretary and now Native Minister backed such promise, &c. &c." This statement is utterly false, as Mr Sheehan was not then in a position to make such promi.e. not being a Minister of the Crown. There arc many other points in Mr Woollam's letter whioh might be replied to, but those who know tho history of this the oldest dicovered sold district in the colony of New Zealand, know full well who is the man to whom the credit of the first development is due, and will be remarkably shy of taking unsup ported statements against him. I may. say that I was the promoter of the discovery of gold on the foreshore, and. in conjunction with Mr Mackay, paid £250 to natives for lease of the foreshore, for which he and [eventually realized nothing. He and I were also appointed trustees on behalf of Pita the native. Afterwards, when the Beach, the Green Harp, and Venus claims were amalgamcd, and called the " Union Beach," directors were nominated and other trustees were made. Then scrip to tho nominal value of £650 stood in my name and that of Mr Mackay. £20 was outstanding on a call, which I refused to pay. as I considered myself only trnsteefor the native owners, who it is con sidered should not have been called upon to pay any calls. Mr Mackay. Mr Kees, Mr D mglas. Mr Woollams, and myself were present at the first meeting hold in connection with that same Beach claim. Mr Mackay and myself were appointed trustees for the natives. I. as fromoter, to_k up three men's ground. When asked Mr Woollams if he would take a share, he told me he would not. He was the first man in Coromandel who ever saw gold from the New Golden Pah, which was shown to him by promoter, and he then took steps to s?et the ground for tho Union Beach. He says I was promoter of all those claims, and sold out for large sums of money, which was not true, as promoter never helti any interest at that time in any of those claims from which the Union Beach wa3 formed. He also says that, "promoter well knew that the then Government had then promised, and the then Provincial Secretary, and now Native Minister, backed such promise." This assertion carries its contradiction with it, for at the time in question the now Native Minister was not in power, and could not by any possibility have made any promiseson behalf of tlie Government, although promoter knows all connected with the promises; nor was there any such Company as the Union Beach then in existence. Mr Woollams further says that promoter applied for two men's ground 'or certain understood reasons. This statement is absolutely contrary to fact, as I applied .for lone acre, which constituted three men's ground, and this extent is still held by the Company, as shown by the plan which promoter has sent to the Wardens Office. Promoter would like to know whether Mr Woollams bought up the native scrip that he alludes to as havincr been paid for by so large a sum of money. With iregard to Mr W.'s Statement that "both the promoter and his colleagues, or at least some of them, felt doubtful as to their right to obtain a title to the foreshore," permit me to say that I have got a title as good as can be got, whether the Golden Pah has one or not. Mr Woollam., furthermore, says that he cannot understand why Tole,- Swanson, and Macfarlane should have iinter ested themselves so far as to wait on the Nativ Minister, and ask his opinion in regard to the Golden Pah lease . No, sir ; perhaps Mr Wool lams cannot, but " promoter " is clearly aware Of the whole circum _.'.a*-_e s, and the reasons for their so doing. Th-*n M r Vi*. gee-, on to express his wonder Mr -iv/anson and Mr Macfar lane should have ,j;rr;a;;rated nn iniustice, unless, as he puts ?t mildly, they bad not known the whole facts of th: cr.se : and he pronounces an exordium on thr-i:.' honour,.-He characters, which was not warm ... -~nd was like " painting the lily." But I find iam writing at too great a length. Permit me. in conclusion, simply to state again, that the -..serf.?or-? made by Mr Woollams cannot be moved by any facts which can be brought forward, but seem to be simply the unhealthy effusion- of a disorganised brain. —Yours, &c, James McGregor.
