The Secretary also stated that when the trustees took oilice their liabilities amounted to £300, but that all these amount;, with the exception of £17 14a Oil due to Mr J. Mullally, had been paid during tbc year. The total receipts during the year were £940 la 9d, leaving a credit balance of £64 2s sd, against which the only liability was Mr Mullaly's account of £17 14s. Mr Thos. Marfl'aiiane moved, and Mr Mack cch nie seconded, the adoption of the report, ■which was carried. Some discussion took place as to the rate which should be fixed for the next year. Mr G. Aickin moved nnd Mr Patterson seconded " That the rate for the ensuing year be 9d in tho £, on the Annual value of the property of the dis trict."—Mr Thos. Macffarlane thought that in consid; ring the works that were required in the district, the rate should be fixed at one shilling.—Mr F. A. White was of tho Biunc opinion. After cousiderable discus sion, during which the want of repairs to liurleigh-strtet was alluded to by several, Mr Aickiu's proposition was put and carried. The election of trustees was then proceeded with. Mr Patterson proposed, and MrSawkinsseconded, "That the old Board (Messrs. T. Mactfarlane, Mac kechnie, G. Aickin, Laiahley, and Hay) be re-elected." Mr Lavcrs proposed that Mr Moody be also elected. Messrs. G. P. Price and McNaughtou were also proposed, but declined. A show of hands was then taken, with the following result:—Macffar lane, 42 ; Mackechnic, 27 ; G. Aickin, 37 ; Laishley, 17 ; Hay, 38; and Moody, 32. Mr Aickin demauded a poll on behalf of Mr Laiahley. MessrsMcNaughton and E. Wayo were elected scrutineers. The result was made known as followa:—Macilarlaue, 130; Mackechnie, 12S; Hay, 124; Laishley, 90; and Moody, 59. The first five were declared elected trustees for the ensuing year. Messrs Pierce and Reid were re-elected auditors for the ensuing year, and Messrs Burke and Patterson fence-viewera. — The advisability of levying a lighting rate was then discussed.—Mr Aickiu was of opinion that if they did not introduce light into the district it would not go ahead. If the rate were carried, the Board prqposed to erect eight lamps—one in Symonds-street (about St. Sepulchre's Church), one in Nugcut street, one at the corner of Grafton Koad and Kyber Paas Road, one at Laßoche's corner, one opposite the Chapel in Grafton Boad, one about Mr Waytc's house, Sea. field View, oue at Mrs Prcece's corner, and ono about Mr Biss's house, Grafton Koad. The cost of the lamps would be about £5 10s each, which would be £44, and the lighting cost in the city £8 5s per lamp, lie believed, however, that light could be j

got at less cost from the Grafton Road dis trict.—After considerable discussion and a show of hands had twice been taken on the subject, on each of which occasion? those opposing the lighting rate were in the majority, a poll was demanded. Messrs F. A. White and McNaughton acted as scrutineers, and the poll was taken, which showed 86 votes in favour of the rate, while there was not one against it. It whs therefore declared carried. The meeting concluded by the passing of a vote of thanks to the retiring trustees and chair man of the present meeting.

FLORIDA WATER.—TRADE MARKS SUIT.

Supkeme Court of New South Wales

Tiiubsday, May 13, 18S0,

In Equity.—(Before His Honor Mr Justice Hargrave, Primary Judge.)

Kemp v. Moore.—This was a suit instituted by the proprietors of Murray and Lanman's Florida Water, to restrain the de fendant, Charles Moore, Pitt-strcot,from sel ling scent bearing a similar lablc to that registered by the plaintiff. It appeared from the affidavit filed on be half o£ the plaintiff that the label, the piracy of which was complained of, had been originally invented by the prede cessors of the plaintiffs' firm, as far back as 1842; aud that such lable had been used by them ever since ; but a°3 usual, when the brand became favourably known in the trade, various piracies and colourable imita tions were foisted on the public, and they found it necessary to register the trade mark, which they did in this colony in 1873. Last year the plaintiffs' agents found that the defendant was selling scent bearing a lable almost fac-siinilc of that used by the plaintiffs, with the names of " J. Delcroi.v and Co., 158, New JJoud-street aud Hatton Gardens, London" in a circle, and " Price and Co., 206, Kegeiit-street and Halton Gardens, London" also in a circle in the place of the plaintiffs' names. Proceedings were shortly afterwards instituted, aud stood over by arrangement, to enable the de fendant, who was only a consignee, to refer to his princiDles in London. Mr Owen, instructed by Messrs 13'adley and Son, now moved for an injunction, to the hearing of the cau?e, to restrain the de fendant from selling, or causing to be sold, any Florida Water bearing a labol only colourably differing from the plaintiffs' trade mark.

Mr Dawson, instructed by Messrs Stephen, LawrenceanflJJaque?, appeared for the defendant, and consented to :i decree for a perpetual injunction. No order was made to costs, defendant having paid same. The proceedings were instituted by Messrs Lanman and Komp, of New York, through their Attorneys and Sole Agents, Messrs Moas and Co., of Sydnoy.

Industrial Home Inquiry.

(YESTERDAY CONCLUDED.)

iAt the close of Mrs Gavin's evidence yes terday Mr William Thome, solicitor, was examined. The statement which he made was of a character highly favourable to both Mr and Mrs Stickley. He said that on one occasion, when absconding from the Home was a very common offence with the boys, be assembled the children, re presented himself as their friend and invited those who had complaints to make, or griivanccs to urge, to remain and state them to him. About 20 bojs remained, and of these not one-half made complaints, all of which on being inquired into were found to bo frivolous or trivial. Ho had had a close acquaintance with the children both in the day and Sunday schools, and he could unhesitatingly say that in behaviour and general demeanour they would compare favourably with the inmates of any similar institution. Mr Stickley was not an object of dread to them, quite the opposite. He did not wish to hold him up as a mode! of perfection, but ho thought that with the moans at his disposal he managed very satisfactorily indeed. He had frequent opportunitities of seeing Kate McDonald in both day and Sunday schools, and it appeared to him that she had the coufidenco of th<s children, while ho had never noticed anything improper in her con duct. She had rendered very material assistance to Mrs Sticklcy, and ho was sorry when she left.

Mrs Ellis (at her expressed wish) suppli mentcd her evidence of the previous day, but the only new matter in it was the statement that she had often heard the sounds of violent boating* inflicted by Mr Sticklcy upon boys in the Home. Oliver Sydney Ellis corroborated his wife's evidence as to the purchase of milk, butter, aiid old sacks fiom Mr Sticklcy. He further said that from his general observation of the boys and children in the Homo he thought their behaviour very fair. He had observed many evidences of affection on tbeir part towards Mr Stickley. He had seen them cluster about him, seizing his clothing and gambolling around him. He knew nothing of the internal management of the Home, but he had no reason for believing that cruel punishment was common. He knew that severe punishment had been given, and could be heard, as stated by Mrs Ellis, but he learnt from the newspapers that often when boys who hud run away were captured they were sent back iv order to be Hogged. Ho believed that Mrs Sticklcy treated the girls with kindness. Mr Sticklcy's cxaminotion was then con tinued. He commenced by explaining the meaus adopted to keep tho heads of the children in the Home free from vermin, and then he prccocded to indicate the means taken to impa't religious instruc'ion to the1 children. There were morning and evening prayers every day, when, also, portions of scripture were read and hymns sung, although in periods when an epidemic was prevalent the rule had more than once been relaxed. They had had besides Band of Hope meetin»s, and visits from Mr Bracken* rigg (city missionary), but these had never been (with one exception) allowed to interfere with the regular arrangements. On Sunday morning, the Protestant and Roman Catholic children went to separate churches. On Sunday afternoons they have had their separate Sunday-schools in tho Home, while on Sunday evening he had himself frequently conducted a service. There had never (except once) been any difliculty arising out of denominational differences. Father Walter Macdonald had looked after the spiritual welfare of the Roman Catholic children, and his invariably urbane and gentlemanly demeanour had prevented the occurrence of any unpleasant ness. From the earliest days of the institu tion, but with many interruptions, Mrs Stickley had been accustomed to as semble the elder girls in the evenings and to rend to them sometimes out of the Bible and sometimes out of an entertaining book, and during a period of two years Mrs Sticklcy had held a class for girls who were going out to service, at which the Bible was read, and religious con versation engaged in. Mrs Cornford at one time too had held a weekly class for elder girls, and then he had had reason to be lieve that several of the members of it were susceptible to good impressions, so that ho was sorry when it was discontinued. The want of such a class had been felt long be fore it started and ever since it had been given up. Bibles were always accessible to the children, and those who did not volun tarily use them daily were the exception. Often the books were taken from their places and he had found boys learning lessons from them when they ought to have been at work. They hail equal access of books of a lighter nature. He had observed that most of the elder boys of whatever persuasion knelt in prayer before going to bed, and he had heard that in the little boys' room (over which Miss Ksynolds had charge) the practice was the same. The leading principle which both he and Mrs Sticklcy had always endeavoured to inculcate was that embodied in Scrip tural injunction, "Be kindly affectionate one towards another."

THIS DAY.

The enquiry was resumed this morning and continued until one o'clock, when it' was adjourned.

Mrs Clark was the first witness examined. Sho had a child in the Home, and she expressed herself fully satisfied with the treatment which it received.

Mr Stickley's examination was then con tinued. His evidence was principally in reference to_ the means he had adopted for moral training, the inculcation of principles of truth and honesty, and the dilliculties he iiad met with in the lattor respect, owing to the social atmosphere in which the children bad been reared. He then proceeded to d !9cfibe the systems of punishment adopted in the Home, explaining the mode of con finement in tt.3 so-called cells, and referring especially to the case of the boy Murphy, who had been alluded to by Miss Vickers in her evidence

Correspondence.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN

SCHOOLS,

(To the Editor).

Sir, —The question of corporal punishment in oar schools has recently come under my notice in a form worthy, I think, of some careful reflection. In this age, when everything powerfully tends to a full con sideration of ethical systems and moral remits—almost to the exclusion of any other points of view—it must, and should become a question, what is the influence of our schools in this direction ? Then must come a critical judgment of • corporal punishment. Strange to say, the only moral discipline recognised in schools. The case I reter to, with out mentioning names, stands thus : — A somewhat timid lad in one ot our chief schools, whore the cane is freely and nioit unjustifiably used, complaining of his own ill-treatment, reports of another boy who never can be got to do anything properly, that ho says ho never will so long as ho is constantly being caned, that with better treatment he wonld do anything as ex pected of him. Now, whether or no we Hive free evidence to this statement, I am very sure it is about what mo3t boys feel; it is a feeling that I entirely sympa thise with, without ever having experienced corporal punishment. The question is one between throats, feaw, compulsion on the one hand, or moral suasion on the other, in training the young. Can there be any doubt as to which is superior ? Surely not. But what is not seen, and which this case brings out, is that it is impossible to com biue the two. Any one on reflection will sea that to whatever extent one is adopted, the other excluded, since they are essentially antagonistic, flow great a loss must it be to our young people to have so important a part of Jife removed from that moral suasion under which it was clearly intended they should grow up. Can we be surprised at the prevalence ot larri kinism, a specimen of which is given to the boys by their teachers ? I append a few lines from Herbert Spencer's work on edu cation, which all teachers might read with profit:—

Page 103—" To the many verdicts of dis tinguished teachers who since Pestalorri's time have testified this may be here added that ot Professor Pit tans, who asserts that 'where young people are taught as they ought to be they are quite as happy at school as at play, seldom less delighted, often more, with the well directed exercise of their raen'al energies than with that of their muscular power?.'" Page 135. "John Locke long since re marked ' Great severity of punishment does but very little good, nay, great harm in education, and I believe it will be found that cajteris paribus, those children who

have been much chastised seldom make the best men.' In confirmation of which Mr Rogers, Chaplain of Ponioaville Prison, says, that those juvenile criminals who have been (whipped are those who more frequently return to prison."—l am, &c., Samuel Edgeb.

A HARD CASE.

(To the Editor.)

SiX, —Will you kindly insert the following case of hardship in your journal, as I trust it will be the means of having a great wrong rectilied. A short time ago the Customs authorities seized the steamer Hannah Mokau while at Waitara tor debt. The authorities, on taking possession, induced the captain to be sworn in as bailiff, to better secure the Government, on the promise and understanding that by so acting he would render secure the arrears of wages duo to himself and crew. On the vessel being sold, the Government ignored the claim for wages altogether, and the men have now the option of going without in the alternative of a law suit against the Government—a poor prospect for poor men. Had not the authorities thus deceived the captain and crew, tho former would have entered a protest agaiust the sale of the boat, and thus have easily obtained the wages. Surely this matter ought to be set right, and I trust this letter will be the means of causing an enquiry to be made into it.—l am, &c , Maiunek.

LOCAL INDUSTRY.

(To the Editor),

Sill,-1 was pleased to read your leading article on Wednesday night, and until the public recognise the fact that our prosperity as a community lies in a measure m en couraging local industry, we cannot expect brisker times or a thoroughly contented people. Many articles have bsun produced in the colony, and iv this province, which CO .n pa re most favourably iv quality and price with imported ones, yet those who should encourage their sale arc found op posing their introduction. For instance, the t\ew Zealand flux-mattinc now beauti fully made, and after the severest tests proved beyond doubt to last far longer than the imparted coir-matting, and sold at the same price, is held buck except by a few vendors. The Government, after a close observation, rccoguiscd its worth and suporiorty over coir, and sent :i preliminary order for ten rolls, and obstacles were at once thrown in tho way to prevent the execution of tho order. Thou the brushes made here compare most favourably with the imported oues. If my fellow tradesmen would follow my example in only keeping the Auckland made brushes (excepting kinds not made here) the public would be quite satisfied with them, and a much larger number of hands would soon be re quired at our local factories. The boot and shoe trade is a pleasing evidence of the wisdom of encouraging local industry. Sec the numbers employed now iv theso fac tories'. Tweeds and flannels an; other articles turned out of our own mills nnd bettor value to tho consumer than the im ported article. But how are our enterprising manufacturers treated? Directly a good thing is produced some wholesale importer sends a sample to England to have it ." imitated," and an inferior article, made to look the same, is scut out to under-scll it. Furniture can be produced here to English pattern and price, and iv some cases iv handsomer woods, and often superior workmanship to the imported aitide ; but when an auction sale is held of Euglish mado furniture wo find people actually paying more for furniture which falls to pieces with a few mouths wear than they would pay a respectable cabinet maker who guarantees his work. Until we act a little more on the American principle of helping ourselves, we shall never make much headway as a commercial community.—l am, &c, Employer.

CHRISTIAN ETHICS AND THE ETHICS OF CHRIST.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—On reading the intemperate letters of Revs. Tlios. Wm, Dunn and L.M. Isitt last evening,! could not help deploring the lament ablediverßCiicc of their Christiau ethics from the ethics of Christ, lie taught, "If a man finite thco on tho one cheek turn to him the other also," and even denounced the taking o£ an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth—in one word, retaliation is opposed to the ethics of Christ. Now, what happened when two of Ilia ministers wore only criti cised by a brother minister ? Why, the two loit their tempers", used unbecoming lan guage towards the third, imputed bad motives to him, and one challenged him to a public debate, albeit his Bible warns him to do nothing through strife or vain glory. Well may freethinkers laugh down their slneveat thesesigns of thcinipracticability of Christianity, for if the very clergy fail so miserably under the first and least trial, and fly at each other's throats, how can worried laymen practise the spirit of Christ. This behaviour lends colour to tho saying that Ministers of the Gospel arc, as a rule, the most intolerant of men ami implacable of foes ; hence, if Messrs Dunn aud Isitt do not rise above the common, we need not wonder. They are so accustomed to the pulpit, or cowards' castle, where their state ments cannot be challenged, that when they do expose their flanks an attack- drives them frantic. I charitably assume that both these reverend gentlemen lost their tempers, for surely they would not other wise charge a brother minister, as Mr Dunn did, with "trying to mislead the unthink ing," and as Mr Isitt did, with " an utter ance vile enough for the lips of any Jesuits." If the Apostlo Paul wore alive now and could look on these clerical gladiators, he would say : " Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty ; only use not liberty for au occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shnlt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if yo bite and devour one another take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Yes; thcbestriart of Rev. Mr Dunn and Key. Mr Isitt will be consumed by tho spirit they manifest—it will consume their good Dames, good influence, and tho bond of com. munion with God and his saints But while I deplore the un-christian spirit of these reverend gentlemen, I hope that already they realise and regret theirmiatake, and would fain draw a veil over their shame. I will no longer keep them before tix thousand readers of the Star, but conclude by saying to them, " Put up again thy sword in its place," and try to induce peace on earth and goodwill amongst men.—l am, &c, F. G. EwiNGTON.

Mina's Curse.

[Wbitten Specially for the "Star."]

The mock ceremony over, Mina, after spend iog a few days with her young friends, visit ing romantic spot 3in the neighbourhood, returned to her mother, there to await as she thought, the time when Rupert could venture to speak to the old man about his future prospects. More than once, as time passed on, did Mina beseech him _to bravo the old man's avarice, and bring the marriage, to light; or at any rate to take her mother into their con fidence. She did not suspect that the plea about the old man's objections on avaricious grounds had no existence whatever, save in the base imagination of Rupert himself, and that the pretended marriage when it diil thrust itself forward into the light of day, would not be byhisdesire toacthonestlyand openly. There wasno dilliculty on Rupert's part in finding a hundred plausible excuses from time to time to quiet and satisfy Minn's mind as to the necessity of remaining quiet, not for any length of time however, for again and again would the suspicion faint and slender of something evil hanging over her which she could not deliue, return and alarm her with its warning. And now a little over a year has elapsed since the ill-fated night of the mock cere mony. Snch a life cf prolonged suspense, and Rupert's undisguised carelessness could fnot fail to undermine a constitution alway rail, and the effects of harassing thoughts concealed aud brooded over in her own bosom, was now telling too surely on her delicate frame. Gradually little attacks of weakness and languor would seize her for a day or two, until at length her mother, cou cludingthat the unusual heat at this season of the year was unsuited to her and far too enervating, suddenly one morning at break fast announced to Mina that she had deter mined leaving the island for a more bracing climate, and as she had instructed a mer chant friend to secure a passage for them iv the first outgoing vessel, she suggested that her little maid should collect and prepare her luggage. This announcement overwhelmed Mina with speechless terror, and brought about a terrible catastrophe. The foolish girl, if we can with justice apply such an epithet to one so bewildered with trouble, still concealing from her mother the difficult maze into which she had been lured, rose hurriedly from her chair, and scarce able to totter to her own apartment, scribbled a hurried note to Rupert acquainting him with the in tention of her mother, and their probable speedy departure from the Island. She now insisted on his coming over to the Cottage immediately, aud disclosing to her mother

everything that had taken place between them, and she also hinted unmistakably at the same time that should he not appear within a given time, she would herself make the communication, not only to her mother, but also to the old clergyman of tbe paiiab. Ah poor Mina, your brave re solution is made far too late for any gopd, If you had only made it at the beginning of your unfortunate step, instead of at tho end, how different would your position be now! The little note was placed in Rupert's hands by one of the servants at the Mansion with the intimation that the bearer awaited a prompt reply to it. Now it so happened that Rupert had been engaged until au ad vanced hour in the morning, with some favoured companions, at one of these shame ful orgies which were of frequent occurrence among them, but on this occasion his fellow Bacchanalians themselves wore a little taken aback at the extent of his excesses, and the apparent recklessness of his beariug. To drown the perplexing and threatening visions of his mind, distorted by the mockinga of the thoughts that tormented him,_ no doubt was the cause of the extraordinary ex citement of the evening, and us he had not reached his home many hours before the ap pearance of the sun in the heavens, he was yet unable to leave his apartment when Miua'a billet was presented to him. Suffer ing a9 lie was therefore at this time from the nervous depressing effects of his drunken dobauche, he was ia no mood to listen patieutly to any communication that required him to act contrary to his inclinations and fixed intentions. Placing himself in an ir ritable manner at his desk, he penned a heartless and most diabolical reply to the missive lying before him. He indignantly and in no choice phrases repudiated any knowledge of a marriage having taken placo between them at any time, but ho certainly recollected an amusing " tableau vivant," got up by his sisters and herself to relievo the niouotouy of a dull cvoning, in which ho had represented one of tho charac ters, and as Miss , from tho manner in which she had distorted, after so long a lime had elapsed, an innocent amusement into a ceremony of a different nature, ap peared a fit subject for a lunutic asylum, lie assured her ho would be happy to put her in the way of gaining admittance into one of well known repute; butperhnps, con tinued ho.asthe confinement mipjht be repul sive to one of so fine an imagination, she could not take any course so well adapted to benelit her reason than departing, ns her mothor desired,to some more favoured spot. Despatching this b:utal letter to iti desti nation, Rupert chuckled with undisguised .satisfaction at the relief which the old lady's determination to change her residence af forded him, and ho congratulated himself on the unexpected opening which fortune hud made to cnablo him to shake oil the consequences of a mad frolic, as ho called it, which were now looming in the distance with ho threatening an aspect. While thus lie was enjoying the seme of relief, as he thought, afforded by tlio singu lar happy turn cveuta had taken in his favour, poor Mina was anxiously looking out for the form of him, who she persuaded herself would saciificc Romething to restore her to that peace of mind which had so long for saken her, and now that the disclosure y/m inevitable, he would withdraw all those objections which might havo had some show of reason under a different pha»e of circum stances. Thus musing and inwardly argu ing, the poor victim awaited his approach with the calmness which by somo merciful arrangement of a thoughtful Providence, always precedes hopeless despair. At length his answer to her summons was placed in her trembling fingers and she regarded the packet, from the promptnes with which he find replied, as the forerunner of the writer. Glanciug therefore over tho welcome paper
