The Railway Reclamation.

CAUCUS OF AUCKLAND MEMBERS,

WELLINGTON, this day.

A caucus of Auckland members was con vene 1 by Mr O'Korke at Mr Swanson's re quest to take united action re the Railway UeclaniiUiou. There were present: Messrs O'tforke, Swansou, Moss, Wailis, Whitakcr, Wiiytc, llurst, Colbeck, aud Wood. Messrs Haiulii', Harris, Speight, McDonald, Lun don, Sir George Grey, and Mr George were absent, Mr Tole is said to have declined to attend, on the ground that the natter only concerned the city members. Messrs Whitaker, Whytc, and other country mambers said though they thought the additional money required might be better expended in the couutry, they were I lvpared to assist the city members in a matt.tr affecting Auckland's interest. Some regret was expressed generally that there s inuld be disunity amongst Auckland mem bers on a question of such local importance. Mr llur.se moved, and i)r Wailis seconded, "That the extent of the reclamation as contracted for by Dempsey be carried out.7'

It U understood that the lowest tender Amounts to forty-two thousand, there being twenty-four thousand iv hand on Dempsoy's contract. It is believed £10,000 worth of work can b? dispensed with with out impairing contract, such a's stone breaking by hand. Thug only iin additional vote of £8,000 will be necessary to complete the reclamation to the waterman's steps. l)r. Wailis and Mr Moss will carry round a resolution and endeavour to secure the initials of members absent from the Caucus.

BILLY'S BILLY-COCK.

Mr Swanson, M.H.R., won a hat from Mr Tole after the Newmarket meeting. Mr Swanson bit Mr Tole a hat that a certaiu caucus referred to by Mr Tolc was held before Sir George Grey's defeat instead of afterwards, as represented by Mr Tole.

THE NEW LICENSING BILL,

The Licensing Bill is a bulky document of 54 pages,containing22s clauses. It repeals existing Acts, aud abolishes the prcseut licensing districts. New districts arc to be proclaimed by the Governor, with b mnd aries, so far as possible, continuous with Ihosc of boroughs, wards, ridings, aud road districts. New or special districts may be proclaimed where aud when necessary. A Licensing Committee will be constituted for each district, comprising the Resident Magistrate of the district, and four persons appointed from time time by the Governor. There are the usual provisions for the elec tion to fill vacancies. All persons interested in the manufacture and sale of liquor on licensed premises, and all paid oflicers of the Gfneral or Local Government are dis qualified from being members of such a committ c. The members are to hold offiewfor two years, and may be re-appoiuted. Two members of the committee will form a quorum. In native licensing districts a native assessor is to be a mem ber of committee. No license to be granted ill his absence. Present licenses are to be subject to the Act, which will apply equally to all districts. No " bottle licenses " will be gianted in future, but existing bottle licenses are to continue in force until the 30th June, ISBI, and then cea«e absolutely. Unmarried women may hold licenses ; but, constables and bailifls may not. The Minister of Public Works may license railway stations and refresh ment rooms. Brewers and spirit merchants must take out wholesale licenses. No person can hold more than one license. There are seven different classes of licenses provided for, viz :— 1, publicans' ; 2, family hotel ; 3, billiard table ; 4, conditional; 5, packet; 6, club; and 7, wholesale license. No. 1 authorises the sale of liquor from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ; No. 2 the s»le of liquor to bona fide resi dents at an hotel; .No. 3 keeping billiard and bagatelle tables used between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. This, however, is included in the publicans' license. No. 4 provides for booths at races, regattas, matches, etc., Mo. 5 for coa«ting vessels at sea ;' No. 6 for bona fide clnb=!j *o. 7 for the sale of liquor iv qunnti'ies of two gallons or more. Mid night licenses may be granted on payment ofto extra, and additional bars at the rate of oao'.hird extra fee for cacti. Family hoteh to be licensed must contain at least ten, and public houses six available room?, and hare ample facilities for escape in ca^e of fire. Public houses in addition, must have stabling. Quar terly licencing meetings are to be held in March, June, September, and December of every year, with one month's public notice beforehand. All applications must bo heard in open Court, and honing may he adjourned. The Inspector of licensed premiss for every district his to fu nish a report on each licensed house, ten days before each meeting, also on every new application for transfers, etc. At ttie licensing meetings applications for new licenses will be takea first, new applications for old houses next, and renewals, etc., afterwards, unless the latter are objected to, in which case they come second. Due notice of objection is to be given to applicants. No new house is ti be licensed if any part is fitted up as a retail store, theatre, concert room, or danc ing hall. The Committee is to determine cases on such evidence as shall seem to them suflicient whether strictly legal evidence or not. The Committee is to decide by a majority, its decision to be announced by the chairman alone, who shall have the Ciisting vote. JS'o decision once pronounced is to be questioued or reconsidered. Grant ing publicans' licenses for new houses is to be subject to a vote of the ratepayers or residents of the district. The sole question to be submitted to the vote being the proposal that "The number of publicans' licenses in the district may be increased," and a majority of votes to bo decisive if in the negative, but an affirmative vote does not oblige the Committee to issue new liceascs. Objections made by memorial by persons over 18 years of age, by the police, by co-operative bodies or others, may be taken cognizance of by the Licensing Com mittee, aud who may award costs against either objector or applicant. An ap plication if refused may be renewed at the next annual meeting, unless refused on the ground of personal uu lituess, when three years must elapse. The usual provisions are made enforcing payment of license fees, renewals, transfers, removals, etc. Packet, club, conditional and wholesale licenses, may be granted at any time by the Licensing Magistrate, or by t\vo members of the Coniniittee. The granting of any license is to be entirely at thi discretion of the Committee, and at a quarterly meeting the licenses may be can celled if the house is improperly kept. The annual fees proposed are: publicans' license, £40 in borough ; £30 outside ; family hotel £20, billiard table £10 ; couditional license, lit discretion not to exceed £30 ; packet license £10; club £20; wholesale £10. The fees are to go to the Borough, County, or Road Board funds. Registers of Liccmes and applications are to be ktpt, aud the customary provisions are made as to the conduct aud management of houses. No post or rate office will be kept at a licensed house, and no liquor is to be sold on credit. The penalty for permitting drunkenness on the premises, or selling liquor to a drunken person, is £20 for the first offence and £50 for all subsequent offence*. Keeping a disorderly house, harbouring or bribing constables, supplying them with liquor, permitting gambling or unlawful sports, etc., is punishable with a first penalty of £10, subsequently £20. Licenced houses aie to bo closed on Sundays, Christmas Day, Good Friday. All convictious for license offencei arc to bo recorded ou the licenses. There are the ordinary provisions as to bona fide travellers aud lodgers. The maxi mum p?ur.lt!C3 for sly grog selling are : £50 or one month's imprisonment for a first

offence; £100 or three months' imprisonment and live years' disqualification for a second; and £200 or six months' imprisonment and perpetual disqualification for a third. No actual communication between licensed houses aud places of public amusement is pcimitted. Vo liquor is to be supplied to a parson under twelve yeara of age or to habitual drunkards. Inspectors of licensed premises are to be appointed, with power of entiy and search. The sale of adulterated liquor is made an offence involving forfei ture and publication of the conviction. Premises may be disqualified on account of offences committed thereon, or may be closed in case of riot.

It will be soon from the above that the principle of local option is applied to new licenses only, consequently the vexed ques tion of compensation to license-holders does not enter into the matter. The Premier says if he was understood, in the Leeston speech, to say that local option applied to old licenses it was a mistake.

(FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

NOTES ON THE ADDRESS IN REPLY.

The debate on the addrcss-in-reply was brief and lively. It was intended to ad journ at 5.30, but Dr VVallis was charged with the negotiations of the recess and he must deliver himself or suffer from pro tracted confinement. The speech was good iv its "way, and exceedingly characteristic. He went from first to fourthly, and "in conclusion" chielly on the sins of the Miiustry and their broken promises. Indeed the latter were so plentiful that he " slipped in the shine of them when passing the room of a Cabinet Minister the day before." Without the humour the speech would have been dreary enough. The Premier said that to bo complele it only wanted to be prefaced with " Dearly beloved brethren," and when he asked the House should he reply to it the reply came iv a storm of ' Noes."

Sir George Grey had a say—but was brief:, and confined himself to the Property Tax. As to language and delivery he never spoke better. In argument lie was never feebler.

Mr Hall replied briefly and well, and judging from the voices had the bulk of the House with him.

Mr Pyke made one of bis rollicking speeches, but evidently one that bad been prepared. His speech might bo classed under three heads The first to please the Opposition and annoy the Government. Second, to tickle the ears of his constituents while the remainder was intended generally so amuse the House. He took a different view from Sir George Grey of the Property Tax, condemning it altogether for its inquisitorial nature, and predicted that if it was enforced it would create a social commotion worse than that of the famous Wat Tyler. Before sitting down he congratulated the Government that they got on the benches and had no party against them—no compact party— except the compact party of the "Auckland Four." He did not desire to see that party iucrease, but had no doubt they would all "hang" together, and a ripple of laughter passed through the House from floor to gallery, and Mr Pyke waddled out, apparently attacked with hiccups or a sub dued chuckle.

The remainder of the debate was mere "leather aud prunella."

There was nothing .of general interest to day except the Regulation of Elections Bill, which passed second reading without de bate.

The House rose at a quarter paitfive, and does not sit to-night.

Legislative Council.

(BY TELEGRAPH, UNITED PRESS.)

"WtDNKSDAY,

ADURESS-IN-RKPLY.

Dr Grace moved the Addrcss-in-Roply aud Mr G. R. Johnson seconded it.

(Jolouel Whitmore spoke in favour of the Government policy, and eulogised MrJJrycc as the best Native Minister the colony had ever had. Finance was now the question of the colony and must come before every thing else. He opposed the withdrawal ol subsidies, but would raise half the cost of education by direct Igcal taxation.

Mr Whitaker briefly replied to Colonel Whitmorc's remark*.

The Address was carried. THE AUCKLAND RECLAMATION,

Col. Whitmore, referring to the Auckland harbour reclamations, said the actiou of the Government in this respect was most unjust. There was the linest harbour in the colouy, into one part of which had been thrown a mountain of mud without a retaining-wall. He hoped the Government would see their way at ooce to put up a retaiuiug-wall, as an act of pure justice to the place. He knew, of course, that it had been denied there was any silting ; but engineers might say what they like, and yet common sense would tell any one that a mass of mud could not be shot down within 100 yards of a wharf, and there left uawalled, without doing enormous injury. Mr Whitaker said the late Government was to blame in having taken the contract. The matter would have to be re-submitted to the Legislature, who might vote the wherewithal. Doubtless ultimately some proposition would be made or some: other actiou taken which would be satisfactory to all parties interested.

Mr Hall moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into and report on the operation of the present bankruptcy laws.

Mr Whitakcr said he hoped the com mittee would use suflicient despatch for en abling its recommendation being embodied into law this session. It w»3 notorious that the bankruptcy law had been a failure, and there could he no doubt what ever but that its amendment was urgently demanded.

The motion was put, and carried,

A Remarkable Charge of Imposture.

A KEY. GENTLEMAN AT THE

PGLICS COURT,

A. person having the appearance and dress of a clergyman, who gave the name of Rev. George Attorbury, but who was also known by the name of Cormick, was brought up this morning at the Police Court iv auswci to a charge of obtaining money by falseprctence3, The prisoner, professing to ho a clergyman of the Church of England, arrived in the city about two months since, took lodyiugs at Woodbine Cottage, Grey street, kept by Mrs Hastiugs. Here the rev. gentleman seems to have secured confi dence by 1113 conversation and sauvity of manner. He represented that he was in certain expectation of regular supplies of money from Australia, where ho had high and honourable connections. Mrs Hastings did not press him for payment of board and lodging, feeling sure that he was an honourable gi ntleman and that her money would be foithcoiuing, but his bill, amounting to more than seven pounds, t-till remains un satisfied. He worked himself into the good graces of a Queen-street tailor, and obtained clothing to the amouut ot £8. A young man was about to be manied, and the Rev. Mr At tor bury was a guest at the wedding, and sang several songs in admirable style. The bill from Mr Quick duly appeared for hire of carriages, and the rev. gentleman was entrusted with a £10 note to pay Mr Quick, but in this mission he failed, and to the bridegroom's surprise, on a second ap plication being made, it was dis covered that the money due had not been paid. The rev. gentleman was called and questioned, and after making sundry "ah ha's," and " well wells," and "you know," avowed that he was very sorry, but ho had spent the £10, but it would be all right, his remittance was coming. The worst part of the story has yet to be told. The Key. Mr Atterbury professed inteuse affection for a young lady lodging at Woodbine Cottage, and after several moon light walks on the shady side of Grey-street popped the question in the listening ears cf tue lady. She whispered a favourable respouse, and the next subject was the "wedding day." Between the hour of couseut and the hour of losing her maiden name, a slight till arose, and the young lady was troubled with doubts. She had au interview with the Roy. Mr Long, who speedily disclosed the terrible secret that Atterbury was a married man, that he kucw Mrs Atterbury, who was iv a state of ill-health at Melbourne. Miss D was exceedingly grateful, aDd would have no more to say to her deceiver, and when Atterbury next attended the devotional meeting at the Christian Young Men's Rooms and knelt to pray, Mr Long felt it his duty to denounce him as au imposter. lie also imposed upon Mr McLean, who first gave information to the police ; Mr McLean having advanced several pounds on prisoner's representations, lie suddenly left Woodbine Cottage and was found >'n bed at the Old House at Home, by the police, who ut ouce arrested him. Atterbury appears to be about thirty-two years of age, of dark complexion, with a stem look, without any of those genial lineaments of features, which we are apt to look for in (lie face of a minister of religion. Wo might possibly take him for a hard student of theology. There are no less than four charges ag,iiu»t the prisoner, and to which he will have to answer on Saturday next, when lie will have an opportunity of disproving the serious allegations that have been made by his accusers.

GENERAL STEWART'S VICTORY.

Tiik Giiazis Charging Into The British Lines — Repulsed With Heavy Loss.

London, April 26.

A despatch from Cabul to the "Times" gives full details of the battle between General Stewart and the Afghans on the 19th hint. The enemy was observed two miles oil, and the British forces were im mediately formed into position. The artil lery advanced to the attack, firing with treat elltct on the enemy, who lined the crest of the hills ; but before the- attack was fully disclosed a desperate charge by 3,000 Ghazitf was made along the lace of the whole line, cuveloping both flanks. 'J he Ghaziw, of whom inuny were mounted, were magnificently led by three men with standard.". They charged right into the British, and some of them succeeded in gutting round the Hank of two squadrons of lancers, who charged on the main bo ly. A considerable number also got through the line of infantry in the centre, and almost reached Gen. Stewart and the head-quarters of his staff. Iv stopping these and defending the guns on the right, two squadrons of Punjab cavalry made several brilliant charges, and did great execution. The battle lasted an hour, when the enemy retired off the hills to the plain, leaving more than a thousand dead, and removing as many wounded. The British loss is seventeen killed and ouc hundred and twenty-six wounded.

A despiitch from Cabul to the '•Times" says: "Mahomed Alain Khan, who held Ghuznee before the arrival of the British, went out in a friendly manner and surren dered the place to them. Moosa Khan, son of the ex-Ameer, had, before the arrival of the British, been removed to Shilgurh by Mooahk-i-Alum, our inveterate opponent, sud the religious leader of the Ghilzais. A Sirdar has left Ghuznee to recover Moosa Khau, when he will be placed in charge of Sirdar Mahomed Alain Khau, who will be appointed provisional Govemorof Ghuznee."

DARING TALK IN THE REICH STAG.

Berlin, May sth

Iv the debate on the Anti-Socialist bill iv the Keichstag yesterday, Herr Hasselmann muds a declaration of Ilia political creed which caused considerable com motion. He said in Kuseia . the anarchists had risen against despotism ; in France the Commune had done to, and he hoped the German working men would fol low their example. He said lie identified himself with the energetic revolutionary feeling of the people, and regretted i'liat once before, in the Keielntag, it was denied on the part of the Socialists that they had any connection with liussian anarchists. He declared that he accepted the connec tion, but spoke, of course, only for himself, not knowing how far his colleagues agreed with him. He was convinced that the be lief was gaining ground among the people, that the days of parliamentary palavering were over. Hasselmann was called to crder.

AN ELECTION ADDRESS.

In an address to the electors of Leicester Mr Alex. McArthur, a member of tlio firm of William McArthur and Co., and a brother of Alderman McArthur, M.P., said: "In times gone by Liberal states men did iiot thiuk it fair or right that the people of this country should be taxed for the support of a large number of British troops in New Zealand, and in some of our other colonies where their presence was still less neces*ary, and they determined to discontinue this practice and to withdraw our soldiers and. consolidate our army at home, in order that they might be the better able to reduce it to the lowest num bers consistent with safety, and thus lessen the expenditure and taxation of the coun try. They iv ellcct said to the colonies', ' We have no intention or desire to sever your connection with the mother country— we wish to maintain the most friendly relations with you, we have given you free institutions and almost unlimited self-con trol, we are prepared to protect your com merce and 10 defend you against foreign invasion should anything of the kiud occur, but we think the time has arrived when you should maintain internal order, and bear at least some portion of the cost of the defensive works you may think necessary or the protection of your seaports.' Well, Keatlemen, what was the result ? As might have been expected, there was some grumb ling and dissatisfaction at first, for colonists, like some Jpeople .it home, wish to sec mon».y circulating freely, especially it it be tiie money of the State. I happened to be iv Neiv Zealand at the time of the war with the Maorh, and 1 well remember during a conversation with the Minister for War ask ing, ' Why do you make your own volun tcerslake a more active part ? They are more accustomed to bush fighting than our regular army, and could do the work much better.' ' Yes,' ho said, ' but itis a grand tiling to have fifteen or twenty thou sand a week spent in the colony."

The following tenders for the erection of Mr Hoffman's new store were received to-day at the oilice of Mr E. Mahonny, architect :— J. and E Moiris, £857; George Khodc?, £835; J. W.

CIIAIIUIS OK OIiTAININti MONEY UNUKU

FALSE rSETEMCES,

" Rev." George Atlcrbury, alias Corrriick, waa brought up under the Vagrant Act, charged with imposing upon a private citizen by false and fraudulent representation, on the lath inst., with tho view of obtaining money.

Defendant pleaded not guilty. Sub-Inspector lardy said as he should havo three other charges of a kindred nature, and one as larceny as a bailee, to bring against the prisoner, ho must ask for a remand until Saturday, which waa granted.

A GUOUNOLESS CHAIUiK,

Frederick Pnueti, on warrant, was charged with larceny as a bailee of a gelding, value £30, on the 20th Aptil, the property of George F. Kelly. Mr Laishley appeared in defence, and objected to a remand. JSub-Inspector I'ardy said this was a case in which the police did not feel justilied in interfering. A promiasory note was given in eecurity for the horse, and the prisoner was only arrested to prevent him leaving by tho mail steamer.

Mr Laidhlcy said this was a monstrous case, and of a very oppressive nature. The prisoner borrowed i'liO of Kelly ou the liorfc, and before the case could l>e adjourned a prirna facie ense must bo made out. If a crime had been committed, tho person committing it should not unpunished, A number of docu ments could bo produced in favour of the defendant. The object of the prosecution was to screw money out of Uarnctt, ami thin was not the court for trying a civil ca.se.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

A MEETING of tho Chamber of Commerce was held this afternoon.

ANNUAL REPORT,

The Committee's annual report was read, but as the greater part of it is a mere record of what decisions the Chamuer has come to on various matters during the year uo particular interest can attach to its publication. The subjects referred to were : Bankruptcy law, discounts and deductions, timber duties, public woiks expenditure, local industries, drawbacks, mail service, railway reclamation, wool, Melbourne Exhibition, and Trade with Fiji. The paragraph relating to this "last subject we quote inasmuch as it ia new matter :— " The Auckland Steamship Company having re presented to the Chamber :—(lj. That from the experience gained in the one voyage ot the Southern Cro?s to Levuka, they are confident that if the Government of New Zealand will assist by a subsidy of £2,500 per annum, there will be an increase of trade and passenger traffic, greatly to the benefit of the "whole colony; (2) That the colony of Fiji is rapidly developing and a large amount of capital id being invested ; (3) That if as sisted, would run on low rates for freight or passage, having made favourable arrange ments with the Union Steamship Company ; (4) That this colony is a more favourable markot for the staple produce of Fiji —sugar, maize, coffee, corn, fibre, and copra can be supplied at lower rates than from other colonies—at the same time that New Zealand can supply Fiji cheaper with potatoes, timber, bacon, sheep, breadstufFs, aud other products, and it is favourably placed to supply imported articles ; (5) That in the last voyage, the Fiji mail was delivered nine days earlier than via Sydney, and the outward mail, which left here on the 25th of May, 28 days earlier, aud they feel confi dent that this will inducp the Fiji Govern ment to render some assistance."

PROPERTY TAX.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —It may not be generally observed that in the exorcise of the discretionary powers evidently vustod in the tax commission there is a question put which has nothing what ever to do with t-lic collecting of the present tax ou property over £500, viz, : Aro you worth £300? Now, sir, I beg to ask (as almost every person has) through your valuable paper, if the question at issue is £500, why ask an individual if he is worth £300—unless it be the intention of the Government to reduce the exemption lo that nnioiiiit. Such questions under the guise of discretion is truly obnoxious. —I am, etc. T. F.

SIR GEORGE GREY AND THE PRO PERTY TAX.

(To the Editor)

SIU, —You arc .supposed (0 know everything and to bo specially au fait in the councils of the so-called Liberal paity; can you explain to me how it has come about that Sir George Grey, tho people's champion, tlie auti-capitaliat, the great advocate of taking the burdens off tho back of the people and putting them on the shoulders of the wenltliy, has suddenly become the mouthpiece of the monied and propeity classes, while the so-called Conservatives, and champions of the landocracy, with reputed BUnpicious leanings towards great monetary institution!), are placed in tho position of defending lic:\vy impoats ou pro perty, nnd a levy of betweon six and seven thousand pounds a year on one of those very institutions which Sir George Grey accused of putting his opponents in power 1 I have a vcty clear recollection that when in oflice, Sir George Grey distinctly said that a property tax would be cheerfully paid if the wants of the colony demauded it, aud ho gushingly pictured every man ns eager and proud to pay hi.s quota on his little garden patch. The next stoiy the patriotic gentleman entertained his admirers with, was that the Government never in tended to levy the tax, but only used it as a blind to get through extra Customs duties iii 1(1 repeal the land tax, and this statement was repeated at his Thames meeting ; but now that there is evideuce of a determina tion to press the collection in earnest, the great pro-consul throws oil' the mask, and openly arrays himself at the head of the property aud mouitd ring.?, and leads the charge full tilt against tlie imposition of a legitimate share of taxation ou property, and does it (save the mark) in tho name of the poor working man ! Laxt session, the House, without a qualm, levied £300,000 in new duties, through the Customs, which already was yielding nearly a million and a half to the Colonial Exchequer, and thopeoplo have quietly submitted to this. It was only proposed to lay three or four bundled tho i«aud pounds upon property and accu mulated wealth which has reaped the whole advantage of the loan expenditure, nnd what a howl ! Is it that the Knight of Kawau takei unkindly to the hundred or two a year that will fall to his own share ? Even bo, purely it in a little too much to insult the intelligence of his supporters by telling them that the working man will be the sufferer. How much will the working man be called upon to pay of tho Kawau a'ses'inent ? now much will he pay of the £2,000 a-year property tax which one sheep king in Canterbury is assessed for? How much will the working man pny of the £S0 a-yeur which other nabobs have to dub up in property tax for the privileeo oE living iv £20,000 houses? Some others of the Auckland phalanx have managed to get together a lew tidy investments in the shape of land, will they manage to screw the tax for that out of tho working man ? Pshaw, 't;s sickening. What is the incidence of taxation now? A man having £250,000 worth of property which the State protects, and loans have improved, may contribute less to the rovenuo than a labourer earning his six shillings a day. The Property Tax will make such an one pay. £1,000 a year. No wonder they how). Another man doing a large business and living on the smell of an oil rac may hoard his gains and make them multiply by sav ing or by investments in property to be im proved by the toiler who spends what he cams and has not a shilling over on Satur day night. And the perpetuation of this thing is Liberalism, is it? And tho work ing man is taken for such a dolt as not to sec through it 1 Out upon it—if that is Liberalism I'd rather be a Conservative, so long as Conservatism means submitting to sacrifices for the salvation of the country.ln the United Kingdom tho wealth of tho country contributed last year in direct tax ation by Property and Income Tax, no lese a sum than £11,950,000, and from Customs only £20,000,000. But that is a place where the masses of the people are serfs, ground down by the monied classes.—lam,

A Radical, But Not a Fool,

THE KOHIMARAMA SCHOOL.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —We arc hcaring'of investigations with regard to proceedings in the Howe-street Industrial Home, but are we to hear any thing more of the Kobimaram'a Trainiug School ?

At the present time I believe a number of the boys are at large; would it not be well to have one or more of these little fellows when taken questioned by some disintercstfd parties, who would givo an impartial statement of what they hear ? I am almost prepared to say that something would be found very crooked. Cannot the New Zealand Parliament during this sitting take steps to have the establishment thoroughly looked into? Letter after letter has appeared in public print, and no matter who tho writers are, I feel assured that some notice should be taken and some endeavours made to see if things are right or wrong. The New Zealand Government I know arc not so hard up for funds, that they cannot spare an extra few shillings for shoo leather and socks to save the poor little fellows from chilblains and shivering and shaking on the wharf. We liavo inspectors of cruelty to animals, why not havo an inspector in this case to find if there is any cruelty to the boys at Kohimarama ? Many of their parents in different parts of New Zealand I am jure arc not aware that their off-spring are running about shoeless on these chilly mornings and evenings. Don't make fish of one nnd flesh of another, they are both alike public institutions.—Yours, &c ,
