THE RECLAMATION AND OTHER HARBOUR MATTERS.

(To the Editor.)

Sin —As the Harbour Board and City Council have buried the hatchet with re ,,-,!■ d to the R-.-clam.itiou Road, and, as I heir we -°re to borrow harrows from the South, t. idear our harbour of the silt, I would like to know what is to be done with tne dredge and the four punts ; I hope they will not bj laid up to lie aud rot, as they have cost tbe ratepayers aud consumers a great deal of money. The dredge is not oroflinental, nor are the punts. The dredge might be improved by the Harbour Board by using it for picnics, and the Chairman and other members aud officers of the Board might invite the City Council and officers, wether with the two District Engineers, to the first picnic party, as the D. E,'s are spoken of at Wellington as not being ot the first order. The two stink-pots erected by the Boaid, at the end of Queen-street, are emptied by the Board, in conjunction with the City Council, and are left to the rate payers as a "White Elephant." I was rather surprised to see that some of our Auckland members would not give -heir support to the deputation, which was to interview Mr Oliver, iv connection with the Reclamation Works.—l am, &c, A.

WORKING MEN AND TAXATION.

(To the Editor.)

km You arc to be commended on tho manly stand you have takeu in the interest of the working man, especially through your able articles in your leading columns lately re the " Property Tax." Any thoughtful man must see the justice of tax ation being more equalised and not throw ing nearly the whole burden on the Cus toms Duties, that now with last session's increased impost realizes £1,500,03 per aunum. And'forsooth, a lamentable howl is made by tbe landed proprietors and nionied class agaiust tbe Property Tax ; and it is amusing theshuffling of these great little minded selfish men, how compla cently they can suggest " re-imposition" on the necessaries of life, "'tea and sugar," aud would tax the means of education of the poor and ignoraut, the only boon that the working man ha^ : so much for the " Chamber of Commerce" savans. The high minded souls, noble philanthropic individuals that would shirk the respon sibility of indebtedness for the borrowed money that bas enhanced the value of their properties hundreds per cent., in many instances from £1 to £10 por acre, aud ■would cast the load ou tbe poor bea^t of burden—the working man, pay all, pay everything. Every body knows what increase of Customs duties means. The other day I noticed a miserable apology for a leader in the " Herald" where it blandly represented tliit it would be far better iv the interest of tho colony to in crease the Custom duties (no matter about the injury to trade) thau touch the sacred pockets of the wealthy by a most "inquisi torial and uujust tax." Who would have thought that the old woman opposite would have arisen to the occasion ? And, forsooth, says it would " drive capital away " —bo-h, just like the old thing's rumination I Any thing tor au excuse—'lii mean ! contemp tibly mean 1 Let every man bo.ir his fair share of our huge national debt, but especially those that are most benefited Property tax to a man that has money means little, but heavy Customs duties on the necessaries of life to a working man with a largo family means much ; 'ti< simply shortening his allowance, and tin means of a mere decent living. A man with a large family pays an indirect tax of £30 per year to Government, besides local taxes, rents, city rates, &c, &C. In fact a work ing man labours to eat, and cat to be able to work, and work that he may be enabled to pay taxes,—l am, &c, Genus Maori.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE PROPERTY TAX.

(To the Editor.)

SlP.,—Several of the members suggested a leduction of the exemption £500 to £.'!00 or £200, and while expatiating on the tax as being " inquisitorial and unjust " forget the meaniug ot these words. For what position would the poor settler noitb of Auckland be in who had to " hump " bis plough and implements over barren waste?, and get bis dray by sections on his packhorse through the ioreat and "over hill aud dale and rugged country to his rude dwelling -an apology for a heme—aud who is even at the prcseut time situated perhaps 200 miles from a rail way. And it must bo borne in mind that through all these years of hard-diip aud toil even within these last ten years of javish expenditure oa "Southern railways" that are spread over the length and breadth of that favoured land like a spider's web in a bush, often seen ova misty morning. Yet the North Aucklaud settler has given his quota to their construction through Cus toms towards tbe interest of the borrowed money. And these wise men of the Cham ber cf Commerce would load him like a donkey down on its knees to Mother Earth. Might not these neglected settlers throw in these gentlemen's teeth, " inqusitorial and unjust ?" Justice is a misoomer in our days. Self, and the greed of gain have blinded men's eyes, blunted their sense of what is just, noble, and good, and ob literated every trace of what is generous in our common humanity, patrons of benevolent institutions aud Christian Associations notwithstanding. Man must be a huge sham 1 If these hon ourable men had coupled with their sugges tion that if the exemption was reduced to ££00 it should be levied iv localities aed on individuals benelited by the loan expendi ture. There would have been cousciencc in that, aud the Property Tax modified of it 3 objectionable features, viz., inquisitive ness, aud exempture of personal and house hold ctFects. Colonists must make up their minds. It has come to this, either repudia tion or payment. And surely it ought not to make much matter in what form the col lection should take place, for 'tis only pay. There is no sense in fencing with the ques tion, the interest must be paid, and tbe affairs of the country administered iv an economical manner, as best conducive t» its welfare.—l am &c., Fair Piay, and Live and Let Live.

(To the Editor.)

Sift —O 1 electors of City East, remember what you did between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p m. on Wednesday the 10th day of Septembtr, 1879. Ou that day you were _*ked to choo.ie a representative, and by a majority of about half-a-dozen you chose a str.im'-er whom until a month prior to the election you did not kuow, and had not seeu, but having once seen him, will be able to point him out among ten thousand. You ejected him to represent you ; as you could not all go to Wellington, so you ap pointed him to act for yon. Docs he re present you—your interests, your wisne-i ? YOU aie a commercial constituency—:s he a commercial man ? Your interests are in Aucklaud-wheie are his? It is your Wish that you have a good commer cial harbour-what does be wish? Read his notice of motion given in last night's STAR, and tell me if this is not what he°really means by it: " That the tune has now arrived when the Auckland hirbour should be converted into mud flats, so that the inhabitants of the city should be able to spear their own flatfish, and not to depend on the Thames for their supply ot this article of food." I understood from the speeches made by your representative, iv that happy time when he was soft soap iurr you all, patting your elrldrcn s cheeks, nu^d stroking your cat's tails, that he would unite in word and deed with those who would bring forward any scheme, haviug for its object the benefit of the city or pro vince ; such was the promise and now what is the result, why this : When your true friends (\V. Swauson amongst others) at a mating decided to bring pressure to boar on the Minister of Fublic Works in the shape of a resolution requesting him to carry out the Reclamation Works, did your representative give it any assistance ? VV ay, he will not condescend to even put Ins initials to the resolution, which refusal actually means " that he does not care the stroke of a pen for the wishes of bis con stituents." In conclusion let me say to the electors of City Kast, that he was a stranger and you took him in ; he is your representative and has taken you in.—Yours. &c , 11. J,S.

MILK AND BABIES.

(To the Editor.)

Stß,—Having lately seen and read many lettirs ou tbe milk business which appear to me, wide of the mark aimed at, health of children. Allow me to give you the experi ence of many years of the trade as carried on iv our city. There aro many families who have been supplied by me during the whole of my term, and there were few complaints as to the quality, although the cows were fed on grains (as a rule) with other additions, such as green maize, mangolds, potatoes, and green oats, which is the usual feed of the dairymen in and rognd Auckland, A s

a practical proof that milk so produced is not unhealthy, instance the families of our dairymen. Are their children sickly, pale, yellow, aud die off at au early age ? I can tiuly say a more robust and healthy lot of youngsters can rai ely befound, all from drink ing milk like the city children, and I should say from taking seventy times as much. If the smaller quantity is so destructive, the larger portion consumed would sweep the dairy men and tho;;- families from the face of tho earth. As for adulteration and price, they aro iuseparaoly combined. If tbe public will give a fair price, say 5d a quart the year round, it will be to the dairyman's interest to supply a pure article. Should the consumer cut him iv price, most men are inclined to retaliate iv quantity and quality. The dishouest dairyman ha 3 two strings to his bow—one the quality, the other quantity—as milk reduced by water will measure out far better, being thinner than the pure article. The waste from measuring small quantities is a serious loss to the dairyman. On behalf of the chil dren who aro sick and sickly (not from milk), fram want of pure air at home, the medical profession have written much about the diet of babies in our city. If there is one of philanthropic deeds who caretb for his brethren, let him take a morniug's ride with an early dairyman and stand at tbe door as tbo mills is delivered. I believe he would cry out " How can tho people live in such a foul atmosphere ?" The air issuing from tho hot bed within would make him draw back and stuff his scented handkerchief to his noso. In my opinion, this is where all the children's sick ness proceeds from—impure air breathed durill_ tho night time. Hoping tbis will direct attention to the better ventilation of the present aud future rcudcuces of our city am &c,

THE SHIP CAROLINE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —My "attention has been called to tbc statement of Captain Davis, in your issue of the Ist June, in reply to the state ment published by me. He says that the Wellington papers have published similar ones; therefore, dissatisfaction must have existed, or why should there be complaints ? The reason why I drew attention to the several narrow escapes of what might have been serious lives was, because of the small chance of extinguishing them; and I positively deny burning a light all night, except wiieu nay child was lying dangerously ill (although I had permission from the Company before I left the Docks), aud it is false to say he ever had to caution me about it. Iv reference to the shortness of provi sion, if, as Captain Davis states, there was one barrel of beef put on iv mistake for suet how eaa he account for running short in 105 days, and the ship supposed to be provisioned for 150 days ? And again sup posing tbe butter, 1141b5., was stolen by the sailors, then, there would not have been suiiicieut for the voyage, aud how does he account for tbc sugar being short, in rcfctcucc to the bread he said it was un avoidable. How can he account for his own being always sweet and eatable, but I sup pose tbe temperature acted differently ou his. The baker possibly did not require a sieve to separate the lumps. With regard to the hospital, why was the child suffering from ring-worm obliged to be removed to its own cabin to make room for a young man suffering with iits if the male hospital was never icquired? Perhaps Captain Davis will be kind enough to speak the truth respecting my attitude ou bo.ud. I only complained about the provisions, aud when he wanted to reduce our supply_ of frtjh water when in the tropics, he having at the time suiiicieut water ou board. I say it is untrue that he stopped my provi sions (or not cleaning out my berth wiiicii was d-me every day. Why docs he not tell fie public the truth aud say that he required myself and others who had paid the full passage money, to clean aud holy stone between decks, on our bauds and knees, which WO refused to do, it not stating in our contract ticket wo should be required to. do hard labour after paying £50. Again, about the woman aud her husband. I refused to allow my wife aud children lo mess at the same table-that was the cau-e of the disturbance, and I was not tho only one insulted by her. I positively deny that he stopped my rations and also that I left the ollice at Wellington when he came in. lie was not there at the time, for after 1 had made my statement Captain Rose im mediately lift tho ollico to go and see him. My object in complaining was that it might possibly benefit others. I knew perfectly well I should have no redress. As far as regards Captain Davis' seamaushij s, I must say I believe him to be a good careful cantaiu. — Your truly, H. P. O'Meara.

THE DRAPERS ASSISTANTS' GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—Laws and regulations for the benolit of mankind are among tho greatest blessings we enjoy, and the authors of such are deecrving of our gratitude; but the inventor of regulationa whose object is the oppression of his fellowmen, is deserving of our censure and contempt. A tradesman iv this city has lately brought into operation a set of very objectionable rules for the regulation of those iv his employ, and fearing their enforcement might cause him to lose some of his beat men (as he has done before) ho visits tbe other employers in his trade, and induces them to adopt the same rules in their establishments, thus cutting oil' their only meaii3 of escape from his oppression. One of these rules provides that the time for meals shall not exceed 40 minutes, thus depriving about 109 individuals of twenty minutes' relaxation every day, for which no equivalent is given. Besides which, sup posing I live, as many of us do, about a mile from Quccn-stieet, an hour gives me time to go home, get my dinner, and walk back again. Now, besides being deprived of a certain amount of out-door exercise, I am put to the expense of at least a shilling a day for my dinner. This, with my tea ou Saturday eveniug, amounts to seven shillings a week, for which no compensation whatever is given. How can men who act in this manner expect that respect and con sideration which is neeeatary to the welfare of their business? They are all acquainted with the teaching that it is more blessed to give than to receive, but perhaps these gentlemen attach very little value to blessings. The readiness with which they consented to adopt these rules contrast very strikingly "with the success of the effort to close the shops earlier ou Saturday evenings. We seem to have no remedy. Some say we ought to strike to a man, but such a course generally does the employers more harm than anyone else. Our only course seems to be to expose the thing and leave the matter with the public—Yours, &c., An Assistant.

GRAFTON ROAD SCHOOL COM MITTEE.

A MEETING of the Grafton Road School Committee was held on Friday evening last, the members present being Messrs T. Macli'arlatie (Chairman), Chambers, Cooper, Wayto, George, aud Aickin. Increased accommodation.—_ letter ■wan received from Air James Martin, the head master, enclosing a return shewing that the gross number of children whose names were upon the school-roll was 372, and that of thi-s number 109 were children who redded 'outside the district. During the quaiter "ending May 2Sth, the names of 17 children had been struck off for irregular attendance. The number of pupils that the school was allowed to accommodate was 35G. After some discussion it was resolved that the Secretary should write t:> the Board of Education requesting increased accom modaion, as the master reported that ho had continually to refuse applications for admittance, this being the more especially necessary as the Committee wished to en force the compulsory clauses of the Act. Drainage, &c—A report by Mr E. Mahonoy (architect) on the subject of drain age alongside and under the school building, and recommending the asphalting of the paths, was read.—lt was agreed to iorward it to the Board of Education, accompanied by the request that the recommendations contained in it should be carried out, as the Committee had not suilicient funds at their disposal to justify them in undertaking tho work. . Sundries.— Messrs Cooper and Cham bers reported that they had authorised the headmaster to purchase two dozen panni kins. The Visiting Committeemen for June were requested to look after repairs to ipoutinc, supplies of wood and coal, filter, towels, °soap, etc.: also to order a tem porary supply of scoria ash for the foot paths. , T , , Temperance Teaching.—lt was de cided to forward the following resolution to the Newtou School Committee in answer to their communication re the advisability of introducing a temperance text-book into the common schools :-" That whilst agree iorr with the Newton School Committee unon the importance of temperance teach ing, we consider that as this subject is now being taught in an excellent text-book en titled "Health in the House," by Buckton it is unnecessary at present to recommend tbe adoption of a new class-book. This was all the business.

The Queen has appointed the Rev. John Charles Kyle, M.A., clean of Salisbury, to be first Bishop of Liverpool.

Sir Julius Vogel and the Conversion of Loans.

AN ANIMATED DEBA.TE lIS, THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIET

In the legislative Co-.incil on Friday even ing the lion. Mr Waterbotisc moved,— That all correspondence between the Gov ernment aud the Agent-General relating to the conversion of lorns, bo laid ou the table. The mover said the circumstances of tbe conversion of the last loan were so peculiar, and the matter was so very import ant, that be though this motion fully justified. (Hear, hear.) The intention of the Legis lature last year was that no further deben tures than the amount of the loan, 5,H), 0C;), should be issued. But a clause had beeu slipped into the Loan Bill wh>b gave the Loan Agents the power—-im mediately u.«cd— to convert the loan under the Inscribed Stock Act, 1877. The Agents therefore at once turned a 5 per cent £5,000,000 loan into a 4 per cent. £6,000,000 one, which had not been intended by the As sembly to be done. The loan had been issued at £97 10s per £100 of sJper cent, stock, and option KiMiig to lenders to take £120 at 4 per cent, stock instead of £100 at 5 per cent. A £97 10s per £100 5 per cent, stock, issued on tho'C terms, would be equivalent to raising a 4 per cent loan at £78— which was tho price therefore paid by the stockholders for every £100 we should have to repay. Just after the issue of our 4 per cent, loan at £78, the South Australian Government, under more disad vantageous circumstances, issueda4pereenl. loan at £92 and it was taken at a premium. The Now South Wales Government also got £9S 16s Gd per £100 for their 4 per ceut. loan—had got £9S 16s Gd at the samo price as we had got £78 tor. This was so startling afdet—(hoar, hear) —that all possible eluci dation should be given the subject. But there were other peculiar circumstances connected with tho raising of tbe last loan. The loan had been sanctioned as to mn for ten years at 5 per cent, interest. Now, it was a most evi dent fact that colonial loans were coming to be extremely well regarded ou the Stock Exchange, and the inference was fair that in ten years we could have repaid the 5 per cent. £5,000,000 by the issue at par of a4. per cent. loan. If New South Wales could get £9S 16s Gd. now for 4 per cent., ••* could ccrtaiuly get £100 for 4J per cent., in tcu years, and very possibly make a profit on the bargain. We might even have beeu able to get par for 4 per ceut. By tbe conversion of the loan we should pay £4 16s. per £120 instead of £5 per £100 for the ten years, which would therefore boa savint; of 4s. per £100 for that period. But by the conver sion of the loan the stock was to be repaid in 50 years, and for the last 40 we should be paying £4 16s. instead of what need only have beeu £4 10s., a loss of 6s. per £100 for 40 years. Reckoning this there would bo a saving of 4i. per £100 for ten years which would amount to (with compound interest) £122,000, but against that there would be a loss of 6?. per £100 for the other 40 years —a total of (stid with comoociud interest) ,C 1,600,000; and thou at the .end of tho fifty years we should give the stockholders a bonus of £1,000,000. The result, there fore, would bo a total loss of £2,600,000, which for all the good it would do the colony might as well have been thrown into the sea. If the whole of our national debt were converted on the same terms, we should lor the first ten years save £773,000; but ou the other 40 years wc should lose tho vast total of £14,010,000. There had been a groat deal of discussion with bated breath about this matter, and it was imperative thcro should be tho fallout Parliamentary investi gation of tho whole subject. (Hear, Hear.) 'Iho lion. Colonel Whitmore seconded l in- nnd ion, and was glad Mr Walcrhouse had made it. Iv the public notification of the is me of the loan tenderers were told they could immediately couveit their £10J 5 per cent stock into £120 1 per cent. He hardly thought the Ageul-Goueral would have taken this course without the direct instructions of the Government, and yet he could not believe the Government bad given the order. If that were not so Sir J. Yogcl had assumed a greater power thau that of the country itself. (Hear, hear.) I.' Sir J. Vogcl had done it without tho order of the Government it showed that lie held too high a position, and should lie taught that ho was not Iho ruler of tho country but only a high servant in its employ. (Hoar, heir.) lie thought, how eve", the terms of the conversion c equivalent to the ivstto of a 4 per cent loan at £SI3, not £78, and for which tl.cy should have got at least £00. If thisj us proved to bo so, the transaction had been mo.d injurious to tbo country. Either ike A-jent-Gcueral had acted without authority, or,'if the Govirnrocnt had given authority, it proved them utterly unlit for this part of their duty. Ho hoped the latter alterna tive was not the right one.

Mr Scotland was astonished the colony had not the moral courage to get rid of Sir. J. Vogei. So long as he was Agent-General, ho long would they pay through the nose for all their loans. The man appeared to cast a i-pell over every Government, aud no one K'emeil ti have the moral courage to talk to him as he ought to tie talked to. There seemed to be a general opinion that Sir. J. Vbgcl was a wonderful financier; who almost ruled the money market, but such au idea was ridiculous. Ho owed everything to the colony, which he had come to as a mere adventurer, a broken down gambler—(cries of "Older)"

Colonel Brett would not hear the most eminent man that had ever been in (he country maligned and called a swindler. The-Speaker: I must enrect the hou, member. The word used was "gambler." I regret it should have been spoken, but the hour must not attribute a worse word than that actually used. Colonel Brett said Sir J. Vogsl's name was a household word iv the colony, and before ho was condemned he should bo heard. lie was an eminent arid beloved man, and the language used was uncalled for. ("Oh! oh!" and laughter.) IU should throw back the calumnies that had been uttered—(" Order !")—and would sit down absolutely mortified. The llou. Mr Wood counselled modera tion. If the Attotncy-Gencral promised tho papers, and it was found on their pro duction that fui'ilier action win uecesiaiy, it could he taken then.

The Attorney-Geueral: The Government have no objection to produce tho papers. Sir F. Bell thought the full discussion of the matter should bo deferred till the papers were produced. (Hear, bear.) He regretted the language Mr Scotland had used. Both the last Loan Bills had con tained provision for the conversion of the stock, but it had never been the intention of Parliament to allow their Agents to fix their own terms of conversion; and he regretted they (the Assembly) had not been wide awake enough to have prevented the insertion of words in tho Bills which had permitted it. It was utterly wrong in principle that those who had the direction of the conversion of the loans should have a peeuuiary interest in it which would induce them to convert on any terms. The transaction was all the more inexcusable to one iv the position of Sir J. Vogei, who, from his previous experience, should be fully couvcrsaut with the condition of the country. The advantage to the lender that had beeu oll'ered ou the i-sue of the stock had been so obvious that tho loan had been a groate;- success iv amount aud rapidity ot lender than any previous Colonial loan. The Agent-General, however, now claimed a large amount as pc-r-ceutage on the conversion of the loan, and would yet claim a still larger stun for further conver sion. If the Government had been foolish enough to make any arrangement with him tor unlimited couver.-uou, we should be obliged to hold to the bargain, however bad it might be. But ho hoped it was not so, and that wc should bo able to reconsider the teims of conversion, both as to time and price. The principle of giving tho Agent- General a pciccntagc for conversion was entirely indefensible. If bis present high salary (£1500) was not enough for all his work, let him be paid more, but iv any ease do away with the commission business. Sir J. Vogel's aetioua were incompatible with his position as a Civil {Servant. He seemed to ignore tho orders) of the Govern ment, and acted iv defiance of them both as to his connection with the Agricultural Company and his candidature for the House of Commons. The Government might we 1 be laughed at by Sir J. Vogei, who seemed to subordinate the iutcrestt, of the country to his own. (Hear, hear,) We had made thorough fools of ourselves iv giving an eighth per cent, to our Agent for the conversion of the loan on his own terms. Mr. Hart said he made the price of issue by Mr. Waterhousc's figures equal to £81 ss. for a 4 per cent, stock. Mr. Wateihouse admitted the correction.

Dr. Pollen thought the debate would be more in place when they had the paper?. If Sir J. Vogcl had committed a wrong, it would be their place to ceusure him, ami he (Dr. Pollen), despite his former relations with the Ageut-General, would be the fore most in taking that course. But they must not condemn him without proof. Dr. Grace said Sir J. Vogei had accepted the Agent-Generalship on the understand ing that he was only to hold it a year, and was then to receive a commission for con verting the debt. He thought the whole of the relations of the A gent-General to tbe Government demanded analysis and re vision, aud they should be placed on a better, more solid, and delinito basis. Mr. Waterhouse having briefly replied, ; the motion was carried.

Suicide: Inquest on Body.

A NATIVE of Sweden, named Gurlz, com mitted suicide on Saturday night or early on Suuday morning by hanging himself on the railing of the steps in Nelson-street, near the Gasworks, by the reclamation, tho particulars of which will appear in evi dence.

Au inquest was held this afternoon on the body of deceased, at the Freeman's Hotel, before Dr. Fhilson, District Coroner, and a jury. Mr Wm. Robinson, foreman. Sergeant Fleming represented the police. The jury of 14 having viewed the body, the following evidence was taken :—The christian name of the deceased was not known. His surname was Gurlz.

Toki Haukare, a eative, deposed, I am a boatmon on board the cutter Gipsy. Live at Rotorua. The cutter is lying at Jagger and Parker's, firewood dealers. Between live aud six o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning, I was on my way from Grey-street, where I slept. Did not like to say where. As I got to the steps leadiug to the leclama tion, the man was hanging from the top rail iv my way, and ho was hanging by tho neck, it was quite dark, struck a match and looked at hisfaco, was satisfied he was dead, the body appeared still, was hanging by a now half-inch rope. Had all his clothes ou excepting his hat, which was lying on the piles. 1 was aloue. Did not think to cut him down. Knowiug that he was dead, went at ouce to a policeman, Constable Gordon, who was near the Greyhound. Told him what I had seen. He returned with me to the spot, and took down the body. Some money was fouud upou if. Assisted to convey the body to the dead-house. Did not know the deceased.

Constable Gordon gave evidence as to being informed by the last witness that a man was hangiug at the landing steps as stated by the last witness. Went to the station and assisted in removing the body. Found the body still' and cold. On searching found £1 iv the pockets. Did not know the de ceased. Should think the man had beeu dead three or four hours.

David Duuuingham, of tbe Governor Brown Hotel, deposed to the size aud char acter of the man whose name was Gurtz, he had lodged at the hotel on two occasions. Came first abouttwo months ago, wilh a man named Mcßiruie, they came from Sydney ; subsequently went to the gumfields at Wbangarei. where they were unsuccessful. Deceased appeared to be of a lively dis position without any sign of depression. He was regular in his babit. Left Sitting.
