Ri_ht under the shadow of Mount Egmont to the eye the tall old veteran dinwnwhes in size and altitude. Distance lends both enchantment, majesty, and grandeur to his height aud proportions. Within five mile? of Stratford we meet the grading terminus of the railway, pushing its way through the forest northward. Reaching Stratford, I take rail for New Plymouth, and in a few hours roll into the little city by the sea. NEW PLYMOUTH is a Ion", straggling town, built along the sands ol the sea beach. Its roadstead is very much exposed to the sea, and no piers or wharves can withstand the heavy surf of its ocean storms. The wildest sea and most magnificent display of surf aud ocean rollers I ever witnesied I saw at the beach of New Plymouth. For three miles the ocean was crossed with white-capped rows of curling rollers, marching like a rolling army shoreward*. During heavy seas aud high winds the vessel", unable to anchor, pass on to other ports. New Plymouth has been agitating a break water project, but unless they get a more substantial strncture than the Timaru affair it would not be of much profit. New Plymouth has been threatened with au eruptiou. The sugar loaves in the bay have been smoking their pipe of peace or war—it is not yet determined. I wcut out to see them. Through a clift in the rocks a few whifs ascend in vapory curls. One man says it is lime and water, another that it is seidlit- powers, again that is fire; but I say it is smoke. IRON ORE. New Plymouth is belted iv flows of iron sand that the Sydney Exhibition has brought into notice, aud Melbourne capitalists have recently been herespyiug out the land with satisfactory results. The Post Oilice, Government Buildings, aud Town Hall are creditable institutions for New Plymouth. A new aud commodious hotel is iv course of erection, and there is not a place iv New Zealaud more in need of a first-class hotel. New Plymouth is the tourist's startingpoiut for the summit of Mount Egmont. It requires two dogs to make the journey to his soowy crown, but a commanding view is afforded from his broken heights. Standing up in the rear of New Plymouth, Egmont, with his cloudy handkerchief, waves a farewell adieu to departing friends, and hails with welcome the approaching visitor far out on the watery wastes of the sea ; mid when he disappears into the dark ness of the night, retires like a solemn bouodiction into the mists of obscurity.

THEATRE ROYAL.—" THE MER CHANT OF VENICE."

"The Merchant of Venice " was played last night to a capital house, Mr Fairclough appearing as Shylock. Mr Steele asßassanio, Miss Stephenson as Portia, Miss Raymond ns Nerissa, Mr Byers as Antouio, Mr O'Brien as Gratiano, Miss Wilton as Jessica, Mr Haygarth as Gobbo, and Mi- Kennedy as Lorenzo. The comedy is well described as one of the best efforts of Shakespeare's ripened muse, and of all his comedies it is the one which makes the nearest approximation to the domain of tragedy, with the possible exception of '* Measure for Measure." The denoue ment appears to be drawing to an inevitable conclusion in the fourth act, aud the feelings of the spectators are strung to the tightest tension, when suddenly the impending horror is averted, and the strain agreeably relaxed. This i* an evidence of the great dramatist's skill iv the construction of striking situations, and also of his attention to the elaboration of a sensational plot. 01 course it is well known that the story which Shakespeare has so happily adapted and immortalised was extant in many languages lpug before his age, and that it had formed the tlietne of romances, crude plays t.nd ballads in numerable ; but while altering aud embel lishing the narrative to ; suit his purpose, ho hns with his own inimitable ability, con ferred a distinct individuality upon each of the characters who are pei.ouatea. This is the crowning triumph of dramatic genius. The majority of writers are insensibly in fluenced by their personal sympathies or antipathies, to paint their heroes iv too heavenly a hue, and their villains with loathsome blackness ; but with the 'master poet it is far otherwise. His characters arc to natural, and possess so much in common with frail humanity, that they are univer sally accepted as well-recognised types of character, and cannot bo discarded as the mere bodiless creations of aprolittc imagina tion. His lago woiks to the accomplishment of a settled purpose, spurred ou by jealousy and hate, his Angelo.though a contemptible poltroou, is not devoid of better instincts, and his Shylock is a thoroughly comprehen sible bein?. A man of strong passions, he is keenly sensitive to the foul insults! heaped upon him and all his race, by the insolent Gentiles, and unable to re sent such indignities he unmurmuringly en dures them, content to wait for his revenge. When the opportunity presents itself of dis charging a heavy reckoning against one who has not only rendered himself very ob noxious by hisunconcealod contempt, but who has also injured him in business, ihe seizes upon it with promptitude, sordid avarice for once proving weaker than malignant hate. The abduction of his daughter and the theft of his jewels through Christian agency serves but to whet his vindictive desires, and consequently we perceive that the news of Antonio's bankruptcy; assuages to some extent the bitterness of :his grief. With stern insistance he demands* the exe cution of his bond, and then, just when, his inveterate malice is about to be cou»um mated—when his pent-up rancour is to ex pend its.lf upon the object of hi. dislike, the heaviest blow of all falls upon .him. Bereft of his daughter, cheated of his re ven«e, despoiled of his goods, and obliged to "abjure his cherished fiiit__ for ono which he has b.en tattght .to deteßt—his hard spirit bends beneath the weight of such an accumulation of .trouble?, and with hopeless despair pictured; upon. ;his face ho quits tho scene. The terrible sud denness of the reverse, has a tendency to to excite a sentiment' of pity in the bosom of tho spectator, 'and we are fain tot wish that Antonio had been mote generous, ia tho hour of his victory. Thero has been a decided tendency of late years on the Etijc lish stage, to throw the character ot Shy lock into greater prominence in the play, by dropping the curtain upon his final exit, and by throwing into the background the engaging little trick which Portia and Nerissa play off upon their lovers,; besides considerably shortening the casket scene." This was done last night by the omission of several scenes and the whole of the fifth act. Of MrFairclough's Jew we can speak in the highest terms of praise. In costume, make-up, speech, and action.it was is. superb portraiture, -Ut.by no means aiconven tional one. His Snylock is no wjeak and decrepit old man, tottering with age, and animated by \ senile misanthropy, but a man whose beard and hair betray no sign of old age ; whose spare figure is but little bent, and whose spirit has all the inflexible resolution of unim paired maturity. Clad in the traditional gabardine, with the hated badge of the cross upoD the left arm and his head envel oped in the picturesque fashion of the East, ho looked the part uumi»t_kably, while'the mobility ol the actor's features afforded ex cellent means of depicting the j varying passions of cunning, avarice and intense hatred. In the scene where the loan of the ducats is solicited from him, his treasured wrongs were splendidly rehearsed, and his assumed willingness to return good for evil simulated air. ost to perfection. In the sub sequent scene where he is rent by tbe con flicting passions of grief and wrath, at the flight of his daughter laden, with jewels, and excited by a fierce joy at the news of Antonio's losses, he appeared again to very great advantage. A world of meaning was infused into the lines, and the climax was reached when ho came to the cue for his hatred:- "He hath dis graced me and and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies, and what's his reason ? —1 am a Jew." These and the other lines, to which they are the prelude, were delivered with thrilling effect, and at the close the large audience thundered out its applause, shouts of " Bravo " being distinguishable amidst the noise. The Court scene was a grand success so far as the principals are concerned. The impatience of Shylock to obtain judgment, his obsequious mani festation of delight at the deliverance of the "upright young judge," his in satiable molovolence, and his awful des pair wero realistically pourtrayed, aud the audience applauded the actor with enthusiastic cordiality. During the perform ance he received two calls beforo the curtain. Miss Stephenson fairly surpassed herself as Portia, and her delivery of the lines allotted to her part was both correct and graceful. She evinced a most intelli gent conception of the r6le, and her elocu tionary knowledge happily assisted in the achievmeut of an agreeable result, The well-known speech, beginni g with the words "The quality of mercy is not strained " was admirably spoken, and from first to last her acting was unaffected and natural. Mr Steele's Bassanio is a portraiture upon which we gladly bestow the praise which it certainly merit', viz., a studied and consistent rendering of a good ideal, while Mr Haygarth is entitled to commendation for his Gobbo. Miss Ray mond made an excellent Nerissa, and Miss Wilton a pretty and attractive Jessica. She should, however, have adhered to the

narrative of the play by making her escape from" home in a boyish disguise instead of in her ordinary dress, Mr Byers' Antonio was a well conceived portrait, but the actor's absurd mannerisms ot delivery went far to detract from its succes?. Dissociated from these it was good. Messrs O'Brien and Kennedy as Gratanio and Lorenzo, respectively, both acquitted themselves with credit, but the Duke was a complete failure in thehanda of Mr Duniar, he was tame and spiritless both in voice and action. On the whole the subordinate characters were unusually well impersonated. The cast was a very judicious one, and on no previous occasion have we had the opportuuity of distribut ing praise to so many members of the company. The "Merchant of Venice, will be repeated to-night.

Betting was 2to 1 against The Agent; 4 to 1 against the others. There was a con siderable delay iv starting, The Barou breaking away twice at the post, and' it was two minutes to 1 before Mr Egan got the horses away. Baron and Lone Hand showed tho lead after the . start, and rose 'to the first feftco together, which they cleared; the rest of the field quickly following. Louo Hand declined the second fence, but by a little persuasion scrambled over, standing. The Baron was firtt ever the stone wall opposite the stand, and Royalty last. Swindler stuck, but eventually bucked over. At the next fence on the near side of tho course, Baron led over, the others refusing, and with the ex ception of Banjo, Agtnt and Royalty, who cleared away, the leader forcing the pace The race, bar accidents, now evidently lay bo tween those fcur, who were a longway a-bead .of. .the. few who had manaced by this-time to get over the corner fence. Entering the straight Baron still led, Ageut second, Banjo third, Royalty fourth. In this order they passed tho .tantl up to the stone wall, which thoy all cleared. After jumping tho corner fence, Royalty collared Banjo, Agent also coming up, snd passed Banjo before tho double fence was Preached at the off side of the course. The Agent took tho second place, and coming into tho straight headed the Baron, who was evidently beaten. Royalty now came away hard, and after clearing tbe last fence came up under tho whip within a leader, and a splendid race ensued from the distance post, but Royalty was too much done up, Lunn sitting steadily, hardly moving the favorite,' and landed him a little more than a length. On owning to the scale, the first and second horses were loudly cheered. Time; lOniins Jsecs. The totalisator results were as fol lows :—Hobbs' and Goodwin's, 190 subscri bers.

Campbell despatched the horses together, Baron, and Grey Momus, immediately went to the fronft; taking the first fence together, leading the field by several lengths. At the secontl jump Baion fell and Little John refused, the latter was thenceforward out of tho race. The horses passed in the following order :—Agent, 1;

Grey Momus, 2 ; Magic, 3. Some distance after starting these horses separated from each other, the favourite going well and fencing grandly.

ELLERSLIE GARDEN RACES.

In last night's issue appeared a full report of yesterday's races, with the exception of the Trotting Race aud the Hurry Scurry. The following is a complete synopsis.

Maiden Plate.—Flora, 1 ; Across the Grass, 2.

Tho meeting in point of attendauce was a great success. The totalisator worked by Mr William Adams appeared to give satis faction. £40 was paid ou the Cup, £30 ou the burdle Hace, and £10 on the Maiden Eace, 8 to 1 wa3 paid ou Kiug Quail, winner of the Cup,

Alas, poor Malvern I He was a game horse, worthy of a better fate than to be butchered by inexperienced axemen when a rille could have been obtained from the sporting gallery. If reports speak true, he fell a victim to a rough unchristian course, and, as he lay with a fractured limb, tho " coup de grace" was attempted by a man with an axe. After the head and face had been hacked about, the handle of the " treo feller " broke, aud the gallant racehorso lay writhing, while n fresh implement of de struction was sent for, and a second axe ultimately liuished the career of tho Wai kato horse, which in Lcnnard's hands has beeu the victor of many a hotly-contested race. However, ho died on the battle-field of the racehorse. The course, after all, is a more glorious death-bed for him than dying of colic in a ditch.

TE AWAMUTU RACES.

(FROM OUR OWN COItEKSPONDENT.)

Thero was great intorcst taken in the abovo races this year, in consequence of the accompanying attraction of Fallon's special liaiu i'tiuuiii''ovei'the nowTe Awamutu Hue. At teu o'clock a crowd ot people left Ngaruawahin. Their number was aug mented at each flag station, and at Hamil ton there were scores waiting to embark. The appearance of the couutry between Ohaupo and To Awamutu was much ad mired. At Paterangi there Uau excellent rnilway station, much superior to what tra vellers expected to find. Arriving at Te Awamutu the train was welcomed by the eiito, beauty, and fashion of the township, who had assembled to do honour to visitors. Mr Marks, tho old racing representative of Auckland was amongst the guocts. Of course overvbody regretted that the train did not run into tho tO"\vuship, -which _ia a mile distant. The races afforded good sport. The following is the result: — Maiden Plate.—Five ran. Mr Keith's Hard Times, 1 ; Mr Bond's Molly Datlitig, o

Handicap Hurdle Race. — Seven started. Mr Bucklaud's Serenader, 1 ; Hastings, 2 ; Fortune, 3.

Te Awamutu Cup.—Eight ran. Pisca torious, 1; Soukar, 2; Goldeu Crown, 3. S-LLiwa Hack Rac_.— Four ran. Cor coran's Performer won. Publican's Pdbse Handicap.—Five rati. Barney, 1 ; Orakau, 2 ; Soukar, 3. Ladies Purse—Five ran. Grand Duchess, 1 ; Sauuterer, 2; Omega, 3. Consolation Handicap.-Omega, 1.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BRIBERY.

SIR HENRY PARKfS IN THK WITNESS BOX. At the Water Police Court, yesterday afternoon, the adjourned charge against Thomas Ball for offering a bribe to the Colonial Secretary (Sir Henry Parkes) was proceeded with.' Mr Bull appeared tor the prisoner, and Mr Pitcairn, instructed by the Crown Solictor, prosecuted. Mr Pit cairn stated the circumstance- of the case to be as follows :—On the I3th of May a letter was received by Sir Henry Parkes at Parliament House, duly addressed,l to the effect that if the Premier would favour the applicant with a situation, Govern, ment or othorwise, tho writ or would bo willing to pay £50 for the same. Tho letter in question was signed R. Ball. An answer was sent requesting Ball to notify his present addross, with a view to .furthor communication, and he was subsequently arrested by detective Camphin. The letter iv question was then produced and read. It was as follows : — " Sydney, May 13, 1880, "To Sir Henry Parkes, Esti., K.C.M.G. " Colonial Secretary. "Dear Sir, —Being out of employment and unable to get work, and as I am aware that you havo the power to appoint persons to Government positions, I here offer you a bonus for yoHr trouble iv getting me a Gov ernment situation. lam A young man, 23 years of age. I have a trade, and am quali fied for any work as a blacksmith. II you cannot get me a job af my trade, I am will ing and able to accept any responsible situ ation. I can produce testimonials as to character from rev. gentlemen and others, and trust thif will receive your earliest at tention. "Your obedient servant, "R. Ball." [P.S. —£50 is all I can sparo at present, but if worth more, I will be happy to pre sent you after.—R.B.] It was found through Detective Champhiu that the prisoner was the person tint sent the letter, by the detective proceeding to the Haymarket, Post-oiiice, aud apprehend ing the prisoner, who called for the answer, and who admitted ho sent the letter pro duced. Sir Henry Pdrkcn was then sworn, and said he was a member of . the Executive Couucil, and head of the N.S.W. Adminis tration. He recognised the letter produced marked C and D, and received it ou Friday night, on returning to tho Assembly. He opened the letters that had come iv by the afternoon's post, and this letter was amongst them. On seeing the nature of it he immediately wrote a minute to the Inspector-General of Police, and enclosed the letter iv question with it, and instructed him to deal with it. As a member of the Executive Council, it was his duty to advise the Governor respecting Government situations, and he had a voice iv their dis posal, from that of the Chief Justice down wards. By Mr. Bull: In certain leases he could appoint a person to a Government situation. Virtually he had the power- tbat is, if he insisted on it, It could be done sometimes without consulting his colleagues. This concluded the evidence for the pros cutiott Prisoner had no witnesses to call, end after duly cautioning the prisoner, who aserved his defence, the bench committed him for trial at the Central Criminal Court, on August 9. Bail was allowed, the accused in £200, and two sureties of £100 each.

Suez Mail News.

["Home News" April 9.]

THE CLAIMANT,

Thk Claimant Castro lias recently been visited in Portsmouth convict prison by Mr Guilford Onslow and Mr Quartertnrine East. His hair and beard are no longer kept cropped, and as this is always the case some month or so before a convict's dis charge it is looked upon by his f rieuds as a favourable sign. He expressed much sorrow ou hearing of the death of Lord Rivers, from whom he anticipated a legacy of £100 a year. An understanding was arrived at that should the Claimant be released lie' would nt once commence divorce proceedings against his wife Since the birth of the last child he has frequently expressed a desire to hear no more ot her, and is also auxious that his children should b. removed from under her care.

THE JESUITS. The Jesuit question in France is attract ing considerable attention on the Coutineat, and it is said that when they |are expelled f torn France they will take refuge in other countries, aud that many of them will go to England. Already the archives and muni ments of their houses in Paris have been Edit to Rome. It is added that the French congregations will divide themselves aud take refuge in Austria, Spain—Catalonia, beiug the province named—Belgium, and the Channel Islands.

GLADSTONE'S TURKISH POLICY.

The " Standard" is not afraid that the Liberal party, once in oilice, will start a fresh anti-Turkish crusade, will work thm selves into a trenzy concerning the inalien able rights ot tho Slaves, or will preach edifying sermons upon the good works of Russia. They will get rid of all these cn cuinberances as they press from one side of the house to tho other. If foreigners could bo made to understand that the Liberal party, in stepping the places of the Conservative party, will practically adopt tho policy, the regret experienced at the change of Administration would partly dis appear from the minds, of most Englishmen. Unfortunately, there is sonic danger lest foreign countrie should not comprehend this until it be too late.

Correspondence.

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —I see from Saturday's issue that Mr Nadeu lias informed the Auckland Cattle Board that pleuro-pneumonia still exists amongst Messrs Ireland Brother's herd at Panmure. He condemns one heifer iv par ticular as having plcuro. That same heifer ho condemned tou weeks since ; siuce that time she has wonderfully improved. Nine days only elapsed from tho symptoms first showiug to the disease beiug at its full height. Mr Nadcn makes tho public be lieve that there are three stages belong ing to pleuro. In my opinion thero is but ono stag.. I havo never heard of three before, aud should like Mr Naden to inform tho public what is the peculiarity of these three stages, aud how far they go.- I lirst saw pleuro iv 1817 and 1843, and have never knowu a beast to suffer from this disease without a decreasing iv condition; tho contrary is the cusc witli Messrs. Ireland's heifors, which are rapidly increasing in growth and condition, so that Mr Nadeu docs not give the public a correct impression on these matters. Ho also stated that ho picked out one heifer from tho hord forgetting that sho was picked out for him; the second was also in the stockyard Wait ing for him, and had been picked out ton days before, but he aud Mr Lewis had seen the same heifer in the meantime.

Mr Naden condemned other two ns haviug plcuro, which when killed wero per fectly free from any disease. When he is prepared to kill the heifer be spoke of in Saturday's issue, it is to be hoped he will give 24 hours' notice, so that other veteri nary surgeons may be present when she is slaughtered, for the same heifer has already been passed by two votoriuary surgeons as being free from any disease, and it was not decided what was the matter with the liv~t baast that was killed at Panmure. lam so confident that it was not pleuro she was suffering from, that I replaced her in two daysafterwithanothcr, in the samo paddock. My optuton is that Mr Naden knows very little about plcuro, but that he wants to tiy experiments at the expense of the public; any beast that may sutler from plcuro on Messrs Ireland's premises will be discovered long before he can fiud it out, and will be slaughtered. Mr Nadcn cannot pick out oue beast in Panmure district haviug plcuro-piteutnouin.—l am, sir, yours, &a, Roger Kay. Panmure, May 24th, 18S0. P.S.—There arc many cattle in the Panmure district in low condition, owing to feed being scarce, and their being cou fiucd to the small run, but all the cattle that I have seen arc healthy.

A NEW-COMER ON IMMIGRANTS.

(To the Editor.)

Si, — Seeing a letter in your valuable paper tbe other evening on a Press party which came out somo timo ago with the ship Mar aval, I wish to say that I among many others joined that party through heariug the Boy. J. Btrry _ lectures and letters iv the Stam ford "Mercury" and "Christian World." Tho Press party was to number 50, but to our sorrow, over 80 were crowded iv tho spaco where fifty ought to havo been —twenty in one cabiu, aud 12 In another. All wore put to very much inconvenience before we landed. Nearly the whole party of us nad taken onnelves out of it, and drew our own retioDß. A better Captain than Captain Ramsey, or a bett«r crew, we could not havo had. Here we have paid Our own passage and brought a tpauiity of hard cash with us, have good trades in our hands, and left good homes, good friends, and situations to come out here to starve. Wo are willing to put our hands to any thing, or any kind of work. But tho Go vernmentwbichwillnotfind us anything to do will bring immigrants up from .Wellington, pity their passages, keep them hero and find them employment. Hundreds of us who paid our owu passages here have no one to take an interest in our welfare. Wo may spend every penny and go to the dogs. No wonder at mothers aud. fathers shedding tears in the old country about their dear lads because they do not hear from them. It is because they can get no work and aro obliged to sell what they havo got, aud so go to the bad. If the Rev. Mr Berry, who is now in Kngland, agitating again for the people to come out would attend to his calling and preach a living Saviour to a dying world of sinners, instead of going backwards and forwards to England to get pcoplo to come, he would do better. It's all very well for these agents to get so much per head on each individual. I had promised hundreds of friends in England to scud them a correct statement of the colony, and I am now preparing letters to send by Tuesday's mail to tho " Christian VVorld " the Lincoln Rutland and Stam ford "Mercury," in which I shall agi tate for no one to leave good homes and situations, unless indeed they can come with plenty of capital. That's what the colony wants.—l am, &c.,JonN ROBINSON, Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire. ( .. < [Our correspondent would act,wisely if he suspended judgment until bo-is better ac quainted with the colony. Of this we arc certain,that ho will find very few mcv who have been here many years who regret tho circumstances tbat directed their steps to New Zealand.—Ed. E.S.I

MINING NEWS.

MOANATAIRI COMPANY,

The following weekly report was received to-day by the Directors of the Moanatairi Gold-lining Company from Mr R. Comer, mine manager :—Point Russell section: Driving east at creek level has beeii sus pended, aud wc aie now continuing tho 100 ft. level in order to communicatcwit. the winze being sunk from the lovel^Rtye. This is now down 31ft., carrying a rWr .ft. thick. In sinking the last Cft., quart stringers have come in from the footwall, and consequently the stone does not Bhow so much miucral, and is of lower grade. For a depth of 25ft. down the winze, the stuff is worth ljozs. per tou. Tunnel level: In driving east, the big reef still shows copper and mundic, which aro good indications of gold. Nonpareil.—Cross-cut is still going through blue rock, which, being full of " faces," is favourable for driving. Eighty Feet Level.—ln driving cross-cut west, a reef one foot in thickness has been intersected. This shows good spots of gold, and is, I think, the footwall leader worked in levels above. We are now opening it up right and left. Duiing the past fortnight the stuff from all the stopes has been of lower grade than formerly. _ A winze has been sunk for purposes of ventila tion from 132 level to stopes above tunnel reef, on No. 3 reef, whicL have been very hot to work. There have been crushed 346 tons, yielding 218 ounces of gold.

DAMAGE TO THE QUEEN-STREET WHARF.

I Thk main or outer Eastern tec of the j Queen-street-wharf was seriously damaged this morning thro-gh the Mail steamer I City of Sydney running into it while beiug ] berthed. It appears that on her arrival shortb after 12 o'clock, she was anchored iv the stream waiting for the water to rise before being berthed. Shortly before 3 a.m. she dropped in towards the wharf iv order to haul alongside. Whether ! the distance was miscalculated by the pilot, or whether he was deceived by the distance of the lights, wc are unable to say, but the large vessel kept a course almost straight for the wharf, and skw struck the main tee a short distance faSttfc! the centre. The shock caused hy wW collision could not havo been very seSftre on the steamer, as some of the passengers onboard were not aware what had happened. Persons who were on the wharf, however, state that they thought the shock was the resultoiau earthquake. The damage caused t. the wharf was of. a very scri&us natuie. The woodwork structure where the steamer struck was crushed like au eggshell.' The platform for a distance of iifty feet was completely carried av\ay, and it was damaged for a further distance of one hun dred feet. Teu piles were smashed oil', and others have been straiued to such an extent that they will require removal. It is esti mated that the necessary repairs will cost more thau £500.
