Native Outrage at Apia

THE SCHOUNKR DAUNTLESS AT TACKED. - THE MATE MUR DERED AND SIX MEN SERI OUSLY WOUNDED.

HEROISM OF A FIJI BOY.

GREAT excitement was caused in Levuka ou tho morning of the 4th inst., by the return to port of the schooner Dauntless, with her Government agont nnd part of her crew seriously wounded. The par ticulars of tho catastrophe arc as follows : The Dauntless left Lovuka ou tho 15th ultimo. She had on board one native of Apia, New Hebrides, to be left at his home on the way, the vessel being bound for the Solomons with 73 timo-expirod labourer... At about 7.30 oa the morning of tho 20th ultimo, the Apia boy was landed at his home; tho ship's boat returning to the vessel'after having put him on shore. A consultation was then held between Cap tain Jones, Mr Nicboll, Government agent, and the mate, as to whether it would be well to recruit a boat's crew at Apia, and it was resolved that this should be done, provided no time was lost. The ship's boat returned onco more to the shore under the charge nf Mr Stewart Fra«er, second mate; Mr Nicholl, nnd a crew consisting of throe time-expired Solomon Islanders and one Fijian (Johnny), being in the boat. When tlicy reached the shore, some conversation ensued between Mr Nicholl, the second mate, and some of the islanders who could speak English and Fijian. Mr Nicholl .yas warned not to go to a village about live miles up the const, as there had boon a skirmish there, shortly before, between tho natives and the crow of a vcs«el, stated to bo from Noumea ; and the name of which is well known, the shore natives calling them " man oui oui," (Frenchmen). It appears that some of the natives to whom Mr Nicholl was talking, informid him that a boat's crew could be had with ease a littlo further along the coast from the placo where they theu wore. Tho natives spoke in a very friendly way, and Mr Nicholl was asked by thetn to go and see the chief about the late skirmish which had taken place in which two of the Apia natives had beeu SHOT BY THE FKEN CIIMEN. Being deceived by this, Mr Nicholl thought it wonld be advisable to make some en quiries at the place as suggested, and the boat was pulled along the shore, all hands remaining on board. The natives walked along the beach abreast of the boat, conversation being carried on betweentlie crew and those on shore, the shore natives inducing Mr Nicholl to believe that they would very shortly reach the place where the chief could be seen. Ou arriving at the spot indicated, the boat was grounded on the beach, none of its occupants quitting it. Suddenly,

ABOUT 100 GUNS WERE FIRED at the boat, killing Mr Stewart Fraser, second mate (shot in the heart), four bullets having passed through him. Mr Nicholl was hit by five bullets; one through the shoulder and two through each leg. One of the crew of the boat (Solomon Islander) had oue of his thigh bones shattered by a bullet, and ho is now lying in the hospital here in a hopeless condition. The Fijian (Johnny) had two bullet through oue leg; the other two Solomon Islanders who were in the boat jumped over board and swam towards tbe vessel, aiid the Apia natives then rushed towards the boat evidently with a view of capturing it nnd its occupants. The only firearm in the boat was a Snider rifle. As the place was so well known to recruiters as one accessible for obtaining wood and water, and the great majority of natives speaking English or Fijian, no danger was apprehended. On the Apian natives approaching the boat, the Fijian boy, Johnny, half wounded though, he was, jumped out, SEIZBD THE BIFLE, ond fired without aim. This stopped the rush, and the Fiji boy then, single-handef, pushed theboatfromtheshoreamidstashowcr of bullets, and then skulled her towards the vessel. Tho ship had been standing off and on, and immediately the firing was heard Captain Jones directed his course to the shore, giving ordors for the second boat to be lowered and sent to the assistance of that attacked, which was then seen being pro pelled by the Fijian boy only. The second boat made for the other and put two men iuto her so as to enable her to reach the vessel, and then went on and picked up the Soloman Islanders who were in the water and returned to the Dauntless.' With the exception of the shot already mentioned, fired by tho Fijian boy, Johnny, NOT A SISGLE FIREARM was discharged by either of the boats or tho ship. Captain Jones at once bore up for Havunnah Harbour for assistance and advice from the white residents there. The Rev. Wm. McDonald, Wesleyan Missionary, immediately rendered all the surgical aid in his power, extracting one bullet from the leg of the Fiji boy and he afterwards buried the body of the mate. Captain. Jones then consulted the white residents,; who, in writing, confirmed the conclusion at -which he had arrived of the advisability 0% I at once returning to Levuka, previously ! leaving a statement of the occurrence for tbe information of any man-of-war 1 calling in. Captain Jones, in case of any fatal re sult occurring to Mr Nicholl before Teach-1 ing Fiji, took the wise precaution of obtain ing a statement from that gentleman, Te elnced to writing, of the occurrence as it took place. From the date of departure from Havannah Harbonr until the anchor ing of the vessel in Lovuka, Captain Jones ATTENDED THB WOUNDED MEN DAY AND NIGHT; there being little doubt bnt that tor his un wearying attention and judicious treatment of the wounds, fatal results would have ensued in at leaßt one case before tho vessel could have reached Fiji. Directly on an* val in port, on the 4th inst., the patients were removed to the hospital where every attention,(surgical and other, was paid them. On leaving the hospital, the Judical Com missioner, in Chambers, took the evidencft of Captain Jones, that officer producing his official log book, which evidently has been most carefully kept. The statement made with respect to the proceedings of the French vessel is to the effect tbat SOME SQUABBLE AROSE with respect to the recruiting of some of the Apia Islanders whose friends objected to their leaving; that some firing seems to have taken place, whether from the one side only, or from both, does not ap pear to be clear, bnt which, at any rate, resulted in the death of two of the Apia Islanders. The Dauntless having arrived within a short time of the occurrence was no doubt viewed by the savage* as a legiti mate object of Bevenge. The circum stance of the vessel not being manned by " man oui-oui" (Frenchmen) does not appear to have in any way influenced the Apians. They evidently regarded white men of any nationality asanswerablefor the death of their two countrymen, and accordingly made what they considered reprisals on the first boat that offered. One incident in con. nection with this matter should certainly not pass without mention. When the firing was heard there were 73 Solomon Islanders, time-expired labourers, on board. These people were on their way home frora Fiji, and it was only with the utmost diffi culty that Captain Jones prevented them from arming themselves and jumping over board with a -view to fight the Apians who had fired at their countrymen in Mr Nieholl's boat. Had Captain Jones not have succeeded in his efforts in this direc tion, it is hard to say what might have been the disastrous results.

Divorce Case.

TWO LAWYERS AT LOGGERHEADS.

Fiji has had its first Divorce Case, which was heard on July 22nd, before Chief Justice Gorrie. The suit was brought for the dissolution of the marriage of William Bcot_, barrister, with his wile, Emma Elizaboth, nee Milne, on the ground of adultery with Joseph Hector Garrick, also a barrister, and Her Majesty's Attorney-i General for the Colony. Mr J. S. Hobday appeared for petitioner ; the co-respondent defended in person. William Scott, the petitioner, proved his marriage with respondent at St. Peter's church, Cook's River road, Sydney, in the colony of New South Wales, in 1870. That five children were the issue of tho marriage, of whom three were now surviving, aged mur, six, and eight years respectively. Thatduripg the ten years his married life Tu_ .? en (°n tho 01*) a hftppy one mat his professional business called him away treqoently to attend Land Commis sions m the provinces. That while ahsent So. 00? of, the»c trips for seven weeks he re ceived only one letter from his wife, and on f.««?J!? .home folmd his youngest child $8£? thUfl»en months) had been buried two -U-_H,PTI.- tlßly- That Bhortly after the death of the child respondent refused to

render conjugal rights. That he went away again, and upon his return received the same treatment. This was on May 15. Thinking his wife was ill and suileiing from the death of the child, petitioner decided to let her go to her sister's in Sydney f»r a change, aud arranged, with her consent, that her other sister should take charge of the children. That on May 30, petitioner discovered cortain letters, showing a vile intrigue with co-respondent, having been written On the respective dates marked in parenthesis on each letter ; three were from co-respoudent to respondent, one from re spondent to Mrs Haddock, and oue from Mrs Gsurick, of Eden cottage, Woolhara, Syclocy, co-respondent's mother, to respond ent. There were also two photographs of the co-respondent, a locket and a ring, and a bottle of steel drops along with said letters. These letters were found locked up in a box. Petitioner said he was stupi fied, mad, by this discovery. That, up to that period, during the wholo ten years of his marriage, he had not the faintest shadow of suspicion of his wife's unfaithfulness. That upon broaching the discovery to her, respondent suggested that co-respondent should be sent for to explain, but petitioner told her the only contact he could have with such a vile reptile would be with a horse whip. Petitioner swore that " Mrs H." in those letters meant Mrs Haddock; "that go to ' H's a good deal " meant the snmc person ; that " H., her protector," meant her brothel, Henry Milne ; that previous to the discovery respondent told peti tioner that co-respondent promised to get her brother's salary raised £50 ; that he, petitioner, sent for Milne to consult as to the best course to pursuo, but got no sym pathy ; Milne had taken the part of the co respondent in this vile transaction ; witness had kept his wife with comfort; she had unlimited credit in the town ; that she had said it was reported that she was the best dressed lady in Levuka ; that he had never treated her other than with love and all'ec tion, and sought to gratify her every desire ; that his whole soul was wrapped up in her ; that no amount of damages could com pensate for this gross injury to himself and three dear children. . .

Ou being cross-examined by co-respondsnt iv person, petitioner said tliat respondent was seventeen when married ; that he first saw her two years previously in Levuka; that they were married two mouths after his arrival in Sydney from Fiji; that he ♦irst proposed to her father; respondent did not refuse to marry him, and did not say he was the blight of her life ; she cousented to marry, him. Knew nothing of any attempt on part of S. C. Burt and co-respon dent to get a separation ; he did tell his wile to loave behind certain beautiful under clothing because he could not bear the thought of her ever showing herself in them to the co-respondent as his mistress.

'I he following are the letters referred to iv the evidence of this witness :—

(May 18.)

"My dear Mrs Haddock.—jVVill you please send me your machine oil-feeder. Mr Scott has gone 'to see J. about taking charge here. I feel very ill this morning. I cannot control myself. It is so stupid and childish of me but I have kept heart so long. ■Brighter days will come. I must light against myself just a little while longer. The crisis is not far off. If I can only get little Harry I shall not miud so much, aud get him I shall. For goodness'sake do not breathe a word of what is transpiring. Best love. Yours ever. —E.M."

(11th May.)

If the crisis comes you must go away and stay in Sydney awhile. But I hope "to sco you again before I go, as we do not start till Thursday. I could come down at four to say good-bye ; there is no harm in that; think if I cau do anything for you before I go. I will hurry back, dear. They were talking nicely of you at S.s to-night; I get quite red. I will bo glad when I can take you out. Keep friends with H., I look upon him as your protector when I am away, and go to H.s a good deal. Yon are as dear to me as wife, love, and I ought not to 'I leave you, and I am very anxious about you getting despondent. Do try, darling, and,go through it bravely, for my sake, if tlio worst comes you will be able to come to me in a tew months ; such things take pljlce every day in .England. Whatever ljappens tome is nothing, dear ; don't think of /that. I place no value on people's friendship, but it will come if we want it, and soon-I will have enough to live quietly ou, evenif I did not work, and you are so good at managing. Show how strong your love for me is by trusting that I -will make you happy and rescue you from M your misery to a happy and honourable life, and ,| shall be happy, and fight all-iiur enemies, '< but yd tl must not faint by the way.

I hope'you will write me a little note. Good-bye for a little while from your fondly and yours only and aiwiys.—H." ' '"' ,Z''Z , In another note of a very gushing kind "H " says ;—" I trust you to cling to me through all trials, but if possible I mil take you.r share. lam such a great fellow, and _'6 ha/d-lK.dried, darling, trouble cannot hurt ■me,' except it comes near my little wife. Then lam all lost; Iknowyournature.dear ]>ettqr thpn yourself. Do you think I, am so silly as not to see what you, the far seeing fellow, I am said to be, and not Bee what a treasure Ihave found. You don't think I would have ever loved you so had I thought you could leave me alone iv trouble ; still trouble must pass over me to get at you, and lam easily passed over. I want you to realize that lam quite used to it. I have an object M attain. I simply press'on for it wh__e;;you keep by my side and you will.

My trust in your doing all you can to be happy, and so make me happy is perfect love; and I will be so careful, and you must too. God keep my little pretty wife safe till I return. Goodbye ,my angel darling." .. ■ _ Another letter was filled with regrets at '__ci intended departure, and said : " 1 will be very careful of myself, and will get to the Melbourne Exhibition in September or "October, and- to Sydney at same time. I am afraid, love, you are getting too fond of i nib1, arid you take no pleasure in life: with idiit me; and I don't feel good enough for you. I was so stupid at Morey's, dear. Mrs H. said I was flirting, but I had, too m-lch wide/and forgot myself,'but people don't flirt before a crowd of people, and I have no idea of flirting; still I know it is wrong. But forgive me this time. You feel how much I love fyou, darling, and how impossible it is for me to even look at any one else; but late at night at these dances I gfet foolish, and not myself. I had a long chat with Mrs H., and gave her a hint of how fond I was of you without quite saying so, and she promised to be a good friend to you. When you have me for you own, dear, you won't care for anyone, but ifr I died for it I will win you, and as my iwife, with honor. I could not dye your cheeks with sbame for all the world, dear, and.with your help we will soon come together, anu1 I know then you will be such a wife to me. Don't fret about leaving, as you still may not go. Try hard,my own darling to keep up your spirits. It is a cruel life you lead, and you don't know how often and often I lie awake at night thinking of you. If it was not that work occupies me I could not bear it. If we could hurry on the thing we wish for quickly we could leave here id two years, as I couldthen afford to live quietly on my money, without working, iv a pretty little cottago away from every one. Ido so long to fondly press you to me as my own wife to part no more. If you can only keep your brave little self up a little longer we will do it, and with honor. I often wonder why you have got so fond of me. I can see it in your eyes, and it makes me tremble when I look at you. When I think how much your hap piness depends on me, and I sometimes get nervous that you will discover sonlpthing mean in me to stop your love ferm'e.

Mrs Milne, respondent's mother, proved that when Mr acott was absent at Serua, from February Ist to March 20th, she stayed with her daughter, at the request of both; that while absent Mrs Scott stayed about a month with a sister who lived in the next house to co-respondent; that

during this month Mrs Scott did not come daily to see her children; only came some times. Had seen co-respondent take Mrs Scott out with Mrs Weiss; bad told Mrs Scott she ought to be careful in her hus band's absence. The child Aliie was ill two days when she sent him to Mrs Scott, then at her sister's.ova Friday. Mrs Scott came home with the child on the Monday following, and on Thursday morning foi lowing he died.The same day she(Mrs Scott) wanted to return to hor sister's house, but at her mother's suggestion she remained at home. There was no repugnance on her daughter's part to marry the petitioner; petitioner was geuerous to his wife. She did not like Mr Garrick visttiug Mrs Scott in her husband's absence.

The evidence of three nativo servants was givon to prove various nocturnal tete-a-tetes between Mrs Scott aud Mr Garrick.-- Jemmy, an indentured servant of peti tioner's, proved that ou one occasion at her sister's house Mrs Scott reproved him for entering suddenly the drawing-room with out knocking, where sho was sitting on the sofa with Mr Garrick ; that Mr Garrick took tea with Mrs Scott at her husband's residence (Nasova) in the diawing-room ; it was not the custom to shut up this room, but when Mr Garrick was thcrj it waa closedj; lie did not know when be weut away. He took two letters from Mrs Scott to Mr Garrick ; when .Mr Garrick took tea the room was darkened ; the lights were turned down.

O Karinga, au indentured servant of tbe petitioner's, proved that one evening after dark went out with Mrs Scott atid. took lantern ; mot Mr Garrick in tho lano near Mrs St. Julian's ; he took Mrs Scott's arm and led her up towards her sister's house; they sat down on a seat iv the path; he (witness) stood near a cocoanut tree ; it was raining all tho time; Mr Garrick's boy came; Mrs Scott told him to go away ; he went; left lantern with Mr Garrick's boy ; he left them sitting together, and it was raining hard the whole time.

The co-respondent declined to produce the letters sent him by Mrs Scott or go into the witness box. His address was mainly confined to arguing for mitigation of damages.

Chief Justico Gorrie commented on the painful features of the caso and held that adultery was proved. He granted a decree nisi with £1,000 damages, the co-respondent being in good position

Fatal Fire at Bau.

A lire took place at 15au, originating from the carelessness of a prisoner who had kindled wood for cooking purposes. Ninety-tWo houses were destroyed, antl two accidents to human life occurred. In the one case to an old woman, the other to a child. The latter incident was rather of a novel nature, the fire falling on the head of the child while the mother was swimming with it on hor back from the scene of the disaster. One case has proved fatal. The natives have sutl'cred great v loss in that which is valuable to them, although perhaps of insignificance to whites. Upwards of two thousand articles iv daily uso havo been destroyed, including, of course, clothing. The Government is doing its best to allcviatetbedistrcssthuscaused.and it would be a graceful act, greatftilly acknowledged, were the colonists to contribute somewhat towards the relief of the unfortunates rendered thus destitute. No doubt some help in this direction will be afforded. The petition addressed to his Excellency the Governor, the prayer of which was, that his Excellency would make no further special expenditure on the port of Suva pending a reply being received from the Queen to the petition intended to bo for warded to her Majesty in connection with the same subject, was presented to his Ex cellency by the lions. J. C. Smith and John Hi11,M.L.... Onlya very few hours could be allowed for the procuring the signatures to this petition, yet, we understand, that these, taking therewith tho families represented, gave a total number of about live hundred.

DISTRICT COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Judge Mapdonald.)

DE FUNDED CASES,

Angus Nicholson v. Taylor and DANAHER. —Claim, £100, compensation for breach of asrreoment. Mr Tyler appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr E. Hesketh for the defendants. The former gentleman gave a brief statement of the particulars of demand, from which it appeared that the defendant had contracted with the plaintiffs to pro ceed to Kumea aud erect four railway bridges there, the defendants agreeing to supply the necessary timber at 7s 6d per 100 superficial feet. In pursuance of that arrangement the plaintitf proceeded to Kumea and entered upon the work. In its execution,. however, he was frequently delayed by the failure of the defendants to forward the required quantities of timber, and in consequence he suffered much loss through this enforced dilemma, as his men had to be paid and fed all the same. It seemed tbat defendants had engaged a person named John Smyth, of Waitekauri, to supply the timber, fid that it was the default of this man which had caused tbe delay. The plaintiff made his claim against tho defendants', and they had admitted it. The statement of the grounds of the defence agreed with the plaintiff's account of his delay, and conceded his right to compensation, but averred that by an ariangement between him, the defendants', and Smyth, it was decided and agreed that the plaintiff should loob to Smyth for his compensation; that he did so, nnd that finally he accepted £5 frora Smyth in satis faction of his claim. The learned gentleman then said that the only question for the Court to determine was : whether the agree- I ment that is .et up in the statement of defence was or was not made by the plaintiff and the defendants and Smyth, as alleged. 'I he cause of aotion wns admitted, and in answer to it the de fendants setup "accord and satisfaction." Angus Nicholson, the plaintiff, was the first witness called. He deposed tha 1, he hod taken .a contract from the defendants to build some bridges at Kaimca. He com pleted the contract in nineteen weeks, him self and four or five men being employed upon the work. He had paid them from £1 to £2 per week each, wet or dry ond found, while his own labour was worth 15s a day. During thr, nineteen weeks he paid wages at tho rate of £10 10s per week, which allowance for his own labour brought upthe_sum to £15. He was delayed tor sometime in consequence ot non-arrival of promised supplies of timber from the defen dants, and he wrote repeatedly to them on on tbe subject.—[Mr Hesketh stated that this would not be assured. Nor cither the fact that the defendants agreed to compensate the plaintiff.] One of the letters was then read, in which he com plained that by the failure to supply timber ho had been kept 18 weeks at work wbich he could have completed in 12 weeks. Irrespective of that letter, ho had written .more than once to the defendants, informing them that he was waiting for timber. He was engaged upon one particular bridge for 24 days, twelve days having been consumed in. waiting for the timber, and the other twelve days in doing the work. Some of the timber supplied by Smyth was con demned by the Inspector, to whose satisfac tion the contract was to be done. The defendants suggested to him that he should look to Smyth for compensation, but witness demurred to this, saying that he had made no agreement with Smyth, and therefore could look to him for- nothing. He had never arranged with the defendants that he should release them from a claim for compensation for loss of time, and that instead he should prefer the said claim against Smyth. He did make an arrangement with Smyth, how ever, by which he was to utilise his con demned timber on consideration of receiv ing some compensation therefor. He did not stipulate for any stated sum, but left it to Smyth's honour. The result was that he only received £6, whereas he had thought that, at tho very least, he would get £10. The witness was examined at some length by Mr Hesketh. He said, among other things, that he had told the defendants that he would accept £40 compensation from them rather than take the matter into Court. Mr Taylor offered £25, but he declined this offer. — James Mills, a young man who was em ployed by Nicholson ia the construction of the bridges gave evidence as to certain conversations between the plaintiff and the defendants,.which he had overheard. He had heard the plaintiff profess his willing ness to accept .forty pounds (£4O) -is compensation, and decline tbe £25 offered by Mr Taylor.—The plaintiff on being asked what was the very lowest sum that he would lake had said that he would ac cept £30 if it was paid there and then. He did not hear any reference to an ar rangement with Smyth.

Football Match.

A SCRATCH match was played on Saturday between sides picked by Messrs Croxton and T. Macky. There being only seven aside made it very hard work for these players, but at the samo time it was good practise, and it is a pity so few should have turned up. Unless the Auckland foot ballers want a good dressing down, they had bettor go in for constant and bardj practise before the Wellington team arrives,' as last year the latter beat both Dunedin and Christchurch on their own ground ; so with our knowledge of the . trength of, those teams we must grant that Welling ton must have a slashing lot of representa tives. Of those who played on Saturday Croxton and Arneil, and Macky and Cole man, played a goad hard game for their respective sides. Croxton's side scored eleven points to Macky'a four, Arneil get ting three touch-downs, from neither _of which a goal was kicked, and Forder getting a fourth, which Arneil converted into a goal; while Coleman got two trys for the losers.

The following appeared in our late edition on Saturday ;— AUCKLAND T". HAMILTON.

The kick-oil' takes placo at 2 o'clock. 3 p.m. Auckland won the toss. Wood kicked off for Waikato, with the wind slightly against them. After several good scrimmages, Wood obtainefl a run-in for Waikato. Carter mado a grand ruu just before time was called, but was collared by E. Pilling. Score : Waikato, 2 ; Auckland, 0. 3.35 p.m. Cook kicked off for Auckland right up to the Waikato goal. After some good play, White got a good touch-down. Just after Macfarlaue, of the Waikato, made a force-down. Cook made a good run and kic't, hut sent tho ball under the bar. Ryan got a place-kick, aud went under the bar. Score :2to 2. 4.45 p.m. In tho last half-hour Carter got a place kick, after a good scrimmage. Park made a good ruu, but was collared within a few yards of tbe Waikato goal. Pilling got the ball away again, when time was called. Game: 2 to 2. •• " POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY. (Before It. C. Barstow, Esij., R.M.) I ■ DRONKENNESS. Three persons, one man and two women, were lined 5s each with costs for this offence. Annie Ackland, third conviction, seven days' imprisonment. ALLEGED LARCENY BY A FOREIGNER. Gustav J. Wishkong was charged t. ith purloining a main-stay and main-jib on the 13th inst., value £7, the property of Charles Bailey, ol the North Shore. Sub-Inspector Pardy said tho property was stolen from the Toy some time ago, and traced to prisoner, but two witnesses were absent. Remanded until the 20th inst. CHARGK OF STEALING CLOTBING. Patrick Murphy was charged with steal ing coats, vests, and other articles of wearing apparel, value £3 10s, on the 1-lth iust., the property of Henry Cottle, of Jerrayn-Btreet. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Sub-Inspector Partly said the prisoner was one of those men who preferred begging and stealing to honest work. Constable Rist, knowing him to be a suspicious character, accosted him in respect of a bundle which he had uuder his arm. Dis covered the name of the owner of tho shirts ; land on enquiry found that the 'property had been stolen from Mr Cottle's bedroom, The prisoner, who had been convicted several times, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE HAPPY TRIO. John Murphy, Martin Lestrangc, and Charles Edward Stewart were charged with unlawful possession of articles of wearing apparel, valuo £3, the property of Henry Murray. The prisoners, two of whom were well known thieves, pleaded not guilty. Henry Murray, seaman, deposed that on the day iv question ho left his swag at the Britomart Motel until his return from his work. They were stolen iv tho meantime. The prisoners were strangers to him. Andrew Fernandez, landlord of the Brito mart Hotel, remembered prosecutor being in his hotel on Saturday. He left liis swag in witness's charge. Had occasion to leavo' the bar for ten minutes. Ou returning the swag was gone. Lestrange was surprised that he should have been charged with stealing. He simply went in for a pint.

Mining News.

THE following report has been received at Mr F. A. White's office to-day :—Moana- TAlAßl.—Tunnel Level: Nonpareil cross-cut has been extended SOft. during the last fortnight through a good class of country, containing nice-looking leaders and stringers of quartz. The main slide has not yet been intersected, but from the appearance of ibe ground, lam daily expecting it. The slide has probably taken a more seaward bendi, or it would have been, met with ere no.V. Golden Age rise is up 25ft„ and the quartz on the hanging wall part of reef is improv ing upwards. The numerous leaders which lire dropping in from hanging wall side also give a more promising appearance tor gold.—Main Tunnel is now being repaired through the Long Drive section, aDd while this work is going on only one shift of two men is employed in the rise. In stopes upon branches of Nos. 2 and 3 reefs the leaders intersect each other so frc -1 quently that it is impossible to describe all

the workings. The stopes throughout are, however, looking very well, and during tho past fortnight have produced 302 tons of stuff, including 2cwt. of picked stone, and a yield of 2Soozs. of gold. Point Russell section.—The stopes at creek level are pro ducing payable stuff, the reef beiug two feet thick at the 100 ft. level. There are 20ft. to drive to under winze ; a leader 4in. thick, which ia now in face, and the reef appeals to be making again. -Robert Comer.

Latest Parliamentary.

WELLINGTON, this day,

MR REES STANDS FOR WAIKAI,

Mr Rees stands for Waikaia, the seat rendered vacant by Ireland's death. Mr Kees leaves on Wednesday for Waikaia, and will be supportdd by Messrs Stout and Bastings. LOCAL GOVERNMENT. It is reported thut Mr Moss inteuds, as the proposed conference on local Govern ment has been negatived and the Govern ment originated nothing to move a further resolution, expte-stng his own views, which are to group county councils, so as to form a strong local Government. The idea iinds favour with both sides of the House, DEATH OF MR IRELAND. The House met this morning at 11 a.m. Aftor prayers, Mr HALL said tho hon. gentlemen was no doubtaware thatsince they met on the last occasion, death had removed from their midst one of their number in the person of the member for Rakaia, Mr Ireland. Of the dcceascrl ho felt himself in many respects incompetent to do his many virtues with justice on that occasion. Thoy all knew the quiet, uuassumiug con scientious munuer in which ho did his duty. The Government understood it was the desire ot his friend. that his remains should be interred amongst them and under the peculiar circumstances of the case the Government thought it would be giving effect to the wishes of the House as wollias the country at largo by facilitating their desire to the best of their ability. They had thoreforo made arrangements for the re mains to be gforwarded by Government steamer io Lyttelton, from whence they would be conveyed by rail to the part of the colony to which the deceased belonged. The remains would leavo the lodgings occu pied by deceased at two o'clock, so that aftor embarkation the steamer might take its departure at 2.30 to enable hon. gentleman to pay their last tribute to the memory of doceased be would move the adjournment of tho House till 7.30 p.m.

Mr Macandkew seconded the motion for adjournment in a few remarks complimen tary to the character and conduct of deceased.

Sir George Grey said the members oa his side of tho Douse felt very grateful to the Government for the prompt arrange ments for giving effect to the wishes of the deceased's friends. He quite agreed in what had fallen Irom the hon. Premier with regard to the deceased. The| circumstances of his death were euch as to inspire them with feelings of the utmost respect for his memory. His career had been brought to a close while he was ongaged in the public duties of his country, and in the legis lature of this country his name would be held in rembmereuce as a good man—a man who had done his duty conscientiously aud well.

Mr J. C. Brown also made a few remarks iv praise of the deceased.

W. Fulton said ho wns an intimate friend of the deceased and spoke of the high estimation in which he was held amongst the constitutients whom he represented. They had elected him uot for his peculiar talents, or abilities, but because he was an honest upright mau, a man who never did anything against hia convictions. They had taken him from his claim as a working miner, and paid the expenses of bis election. He wns a man who was conscientious to a fault, and in that Houae he had gained the les pect of everyone with whom he was brought into contact. He was an honour to tho constituency by whom he was elected; he was an honour to the House, and au honour to all those who were privileged like himself to call him their friend. He felt he could not cay less, and it was not for him to say more. The motion was then put aud carried without dissent aud tlie House adjourned.

COMMITTEES V. TEACHERS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—My attention has been called to a paragraph in the report of what took place at the last meeting of the amalgamated Auckland Committees relative to the anomalous position a teacher holds in respect to having the school kept clean. According to the so-called *' Regulations and Instructions" he is responsible that the school-room and out-oflices are kept clean, anil so it would appear, by the new form of monthly report Ls the Chairman, but as the latter employs, aud pays the people to do tho work, it is useless for the former to point out to the Chairman's employes that it is not. done to his satisfaction, ns if he does he is likely to have his remonstrance thrown in his face, mixed with a " storm of abuse," which conduct in the charwoman of Bcrcsfon.-stroet met with the apparent approval of her friend and patron Mr Gorrie. 1 have attentively looked over the Education Act, and the regulations and Inspector's instructions iti use in this pro vince. I could point out where they are most contradictory to the spirit and mean ing of the Act, and they are seen to_cause coufusion and irregularity, as time will de velop. Mr Rolleston is a man admirable at details, as evidenced when he was Superin temlent of Canterbury, aud Under-Secretary for Nativo Affairs. It would be easy for him to have a set of regulations and instructions issued from his department, that would supersede all local nonsense of the kind now in use. The Auckland Board, to conciliate Committees, I suppose, make the position and duties of their teachers dual and anomalous. The Act says tho school-room cau be used out of school hours for any purpose the Committee like. Well, suppose they give a "buck hop," and that during the saturnalia the furniture and desks get damaged, the floor plastered wi.h tilth, and out-otfices made disgracefully dirty, is it. as I have known the case to be, tbat they are so to remain till the next scrubbing day ? Either the school-room and premises, &c., s. ould be under tho sole charge of the teacher or of the Committee. Any other arrangement would appoar to 1110 to be pue rile and mischievous.—l am, &c, X.X.X.
