STRETCHING THE LAW.

An action was brought this morning to compel a carpenter, who had dove an odd job for a mining company, to take out a niiuer's right, but the magistrate held that this was stretching tho law too far, that it was not necessary in such circumstances, and he gave judgment against the Mining Inspector. A case against an engine-driver was dealt with in the opposite way, the magistrate holding that he was working illegally so long as he held no miner's right, A NUISANCE IN THE WILD BEAST SHOW. The proprietor of the Wild Beast Show was fined 203 and costs on complaint of the Inspector of Nuisances. He saitl his man had been absent when one of the animals committed a nuisance.

Primitive Methodist Bazaar.

This bazaar was re-opened this afternoon ai the appointed time with a prospect of inoic favourable weather and a larger amount of patronage than tho undertaking received yesterday. This, however, was not to be attributed to a want of sympathy with tbe object of the Primitive Methodi9t bazaar, which is a virtuous necessity which exists mi oe or less, unhappily, in colonial churches of all denominations. The little church in Alexandra-stroet|is, wc believe, the oldest of the Primitive Methodist order, and in its pulpit have Btood several remarkable men with the cause of the church at heart, aod possessed of very considerable abilities', but these, according to tbe laws of Primitive Methodists, have been removed to other parts of the country, as the Primitives, like the Wesleyans, hold the belief that periodi cal changes are best in several rotpects, both for pastors and congregations. Tbe Primi tive Methodists are not a wealthy people in tho generally understood sense of the term, but they are n plodding, persevering peoplo, desirous of aiding their churches to the utmost of their ability. They are not deficient by any means in feelings of self-respect, and are particularly desirous of seeing their minis ters in comfortable homes. The Alexan dra-street pulpit has been filled by tbe Rev, Joseph Long, who occupied the same posi. tioa in the same chapel some fourteen years ago. We learn that a feeling of affec tion exists between Mr Long and his people, and they, naturally enough, are anxious that he should haye a home free of debt, hence the congregation instituted tbe bazaar now being held' iv Queen-street, with the laudable view of lessening the remaining debt of £360, which still hangs, like a shadow, over the minister's house. The bazaar is well-stocked with a goodly variety of fancy and useful articles, ar ranged with taste and displayed to advan tage. The presiding ladies are Misses Long and Goirlie, and jMcsdamcs Nichols, New burn, Wood, Leonard, Taylor, and Monsey ; while Misses Taylor and Fronde supplied fruits, confectionery, tea and codec, and summer drinks at the refreshment stall. "Among the toys and curiosities at the several stalls, we noticed in long flowing robes tho " Queen of No Man's Land " in a rustic chair, and the "Bride and Bridegroom" in festive array. The model ot a grocer's shop, with spice boxes, drawers, scales, and vessels for golden syrup, and other sweets, was by a youth of promise, and woithy of note. A considerable supply of kitchen articles will attract attention, such as knives, spice boxes, tea-serviceo, lamps, spoons, and last, but not least, " my grand mother's nutmeg-grater." The pot plants at the entrance from tbe gieen houso of an "interested friend" give a welcome appearance to incoming visitors. Children's wearing apparel of every description, from baby's red shoes to mama's shawl, surround the stalls, and form lines of the useful under tho ceiling. Work baskets, beaded watch-pockets and pincushions, carpet slippers, and Maria Edgeworth's " Purple Jar" of stories for juveniles, clocks and watch-stands, vases, thimbles, and pictures in glittering vaiiety, meet the eye with tho view of tempting visitors to contribute to the fund of the parsonage. It is difficult to catalogue tho whole of tho articles of tho fancy fair, under the good-humcured care of the ladies of Alexandra-street. Wo may, however, enumerate tho attractions of this evening : 1, there will bo a galvanic battery at work in tho Royal Art Gallery; 2, plenty to eat and drink without a dread of apoplexy ; and (3) a few song., two by Miss Cribble, with pianoforte accom paniments and musical selections by a lady pianist.

THE NEW GOLDFIELD.

The Pacroa correspondent of the Thames "Advertiser," writing yesterday, says:— "The new goldfield has not yet been discovered, but there is no doubt but that it will be when they find it. Kort and his mate arc carefully studying the map of the district, and have found that the right bank of the river is the Paeora side. The tucker will last for some time yet, and the men arc very hopeful that they will be able to get througn the £400 before the next session of Parliament.

To the Editor : Sir,—l wish to draw the attention of the city authorities to an in tolerable nuisance at tho foot of Queen street caused by the sewer which discharges into the harbour. The effect of the warm weather upon this sewer is very disagree ably felt by almost every passer-by, more especially when the tide is out. The stench then arising is thoroughly pestilential. People living in that part of the town are placed in danger of their lives, seeing that some infectious malady may break out any day. It does not say much for the City Council that their attention has to be directed to the matter in this public way. However, it is to be hoped that they wBl in some measure atone tor past negligence by remedying th:s manifest evil without delay.—l am, &c., SiMON PURE.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln reply to your correspondent who signs himself "Ono of the Operative Tailors' Society,"! have no hesitation iv saying that I disbelieve him in reference to the man who came to seek re-employment with inc. The man in question, I feel confident, Ins too much sense and self-respect to deny a conversation which ho held before wit nesses, as also to make a statement which my books will show to the contrary. Your < orrespondent says they have closed my shop until 1 aaree to pay lOd an hour. Ido not quite understand what ho means by closing my shop, imleaa ho means they have closed it against Society men, which I am very udud of, as 1 can get plenty of men to work for me who are nou-Society men. Now, lOd au hour is tho very lowest wage I have been paying to any man in my em ploy, and I defy him or any one elso to show me one single instance where I have paid less than the lOd au hour log as it stands, and moreover, I have men in my employ who do not belong to this Society, to whom I have always paid one shilling and three half-pence an hour, aud still intend to pay the same. Tho object of my letter of the 22nd was not to enter into any controversy with this Society, which I decline to do, but lnuroly to shield thoso non-Society men who arc io my employ from the coarse insults of some of its in dividual members.—l urn, &c., M.

GARRARD THE AGITATOR.

(To the Editor.)

Silt, —I protest, on behalf of the working ineti out of employment in Auckland, against the action taken by the man Gar rard. Ho constituted himself a mouthpieco for us, and has promised all sorts of good results if we will ouly blindly follow him. The public have heard a great deal from Garrard about his great success in another colony, conscqueut upon similar agitations to those now engaged in by him hero. Now wo must look at results. If Garrard effected so much good for the people of Australia, why is be now here as an "un employed" agitator? The working men know that there are times of depression, and that no amount of rabid haranguing will do any good. Each of us must put our shoulders to tho wheel and do the best wc can under the circumstances, uutil brighter prospects turu up, which nssur ledly they will. Men of the Garrard stamp do not desire work; they exist on gas or gassing, and invariably have an axo to griiul.—l am, &c—A WORKING Man.

GOVERNMENT BE UNEMPLOYED.

(To tho Editor.)

SlE,—The Public Works Department have pronounced positively that no more unem ployed will be provided for. I have resided iv this city for twenty-throe years, and can safely say that there never was a greater need of help than at tho present time. The Government have brought out thousands of emigrants, chiefly working men aud their families—what to do? Why, starve, for a certainty. Local industry is a myth—there is none worth speaking of. Everything is imported because a few monied men are rapidly accumulating a fortune at the rate of about 150 per cent., while hundreds of poor families have scarce wherewith to keep body and soul together, while our noble and devoted Agent-General is lotullv ex claiming in England that poverty" and depression in the colonies and iv England are two distinct things. I do believe in facta that hunger and au empty pocket is the same the whole world over. If the Government had tried purposely to depress the working man thoy could not have done it better. So much for emigration. Had tho Go vernment spent on public works the monies they have on immigration, the colony would have now beeu in a nourishing state at the present time ; then people would havo flocked, |at their own expense, to a land that provided plenty of employment for its people. To the unemployed fortu nate enough to possess the price of his pas sage to New Sonth Wales, go,—for that is the colony which will not allow its people to starve or go without employment — neither will they give you stones to break instead of bread. A good rich gold field is now open, and the Government are about making 2,000 miles of branch railways. Compare that aud 10 per cent reductions. There is also another good field open—viz , Cape Town. For a working man it is the best of the two. The Government arc ex ceedingly liberal to all who go there. There is a larcc and extensive country, with hun dreds of miles of railways and other large public works going on. Intending emiui grants will do well to interview Captain Ogilvio, of the brigantine Lina. Do not pUice any faith or reliance in the report of rich finds of gold at To Aroha. It is nil a delusion and a anarc. It is another sell. If there was such a find, native difficulties would prevent its opening. If it was down South it would be all right.

Out of Work,

HOW THE SOUTH GETS TO THE WINDWARD OF US.

(To the Editor).

Silt,— Having read your leader of the 20th inst., icspccting the enormous difference in the pay of railway officials in the North Islands, all of which are paid out of one fund, and who all do the same amount of work, I think when I assert that your paper is tlis only one in the North that is not tampered with, and is not afraid to expose any injustice that may bo done to the community in general, or any branch in particular, I state the opin ions of the intelligent inhabitants of tbis province, and it seems a most astounding fact tbat on top of all the other injustices done to this island that our mem bers who are said to be studying our in terests should all remain so quiet, and allow the Southern representatives to get such advances in wages and salaries for those who are employed on their respective lines, most oi which are hardly paying, while none are more payable than the trunk line of this province. Is the aforesaid caused by the Southern members being moro intelligent {and energetic, and looking better after tbe interests of their con stituents, or is it that there is a want of unity existing among our representatives, caused by each one having too much con fidence in his own ability, and power, and therefore not being willing to work with his fellow members; or, lastly, is it because the men we return are made up of too much milk and water, and therefore very easily flattered, hud then led away by the more shrewd genta of the South 1 If the previous questions asked are answered in the affirmative, then I say, by all means, let the inhabitants of the North oust out "in toto" our present mess, and fill their places with thoso who would be more practical and less theoretical, and then per haps we would be placed on a par with our Southern cousins. Apologising for taking up so much of your space—l remain, yours truly, Common Sense.

NIGHT SOIL CONTRACT.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your correspondent "E.W.M. " o Karangabape Road, whilst professing to write in the interest of tho ratepayers, is evidently doing what he can to keep up the present monopoly, aud thus enable the con tractor to enrich himself at the expense of the ratepayer. Now, if I understand the matter correctly, the present contractor, some years ago, was paid at tho rate ot 6d per box, for removal of night soil, tho soil being deposited at Arch Hill. The distance being short he made two journeys each evening. In consequence of the com plaints of the residents he was compelled to remove his depot to Bollard's farm at the Whau. The price was consequently raised to Is per box, because of the extra distance. But for a considerable time past, instead of takine it to the Whau, he has been deposit ing it again in close proximity to the City Council abbatoirs, which has enabled him to make his two trips, as before. Now, if it paid originally to do this work at Gd, it stands to reason that the present price of Is is simply extortion, Of course the difficulty of getting competition has arisen to a large extent from the fact that men who could and would be glad to tender had not the means to provide the plant ; or, if they had the means, they would bo compelled to charge a high price, so as to cover the final cost of plant, for fear of losing the contract at the end of the period for which they tendered. To get over this difficulty, the Council, I believe, have determined to find the plant, so that any person with five or six horses will be enabled to compete The argument about the extra taxation placed upon those who do not need the services of the contractor is fallacious, for tbe simple reason that, I believe, tho present charge for the use of water for closet purposes is much greater than it would have been if the contract price for removal bad been less. The Coun cil, I am informed, felt that it would bj unfair to those who had to pay the 26s to

let off their more fortunate neighbours who could use the water because of their close proximity to a sewer at a larger rato than 20s. I think, Mr Editor, that outside the few who are grateful to the present contractor for his munificent gifts to the Masonic Hall, and the roadines? with which he has come to the aid of persons requiring pecuniary assistance, that the Council's action iv this matter will be highly com mended.—Yours, &c. Pro Bono Publico.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —Mr Cootnbos seems astonished to find that wo have a "live doctor " in our midst. 1 think the people of Auckland are aware they have several of these gentlemen in the community, both medicus and theologus, and I dare say they feel all the more secure by tboir presence. Thoy may not bo able to remove till the moral or physical plague spots in our city, but we could ill afford to dispense with them. Ido not think your many readers will be so incrcelulous as Mr Coombes aud doubt tbe word of a Christian gentleman without a palpable reason. lam as ignorant of Mr Coombes as he professes to be of the "live doctor," except as he is reflected by his letter; and, I must say, that a more blatant, pedantic ebullition I havo never read, which certainly is not tho result of a religious system of education. The prefix " doctor " is at least a guarantee of an educational standard which certainly one secularist iv Auckland has not attained to. 1 am as much opposed to denomina tionalism as tho most noisy secularist, but I am au advocate of Biblo reading iv schools. History proves how futilu aud unstable has been tho highest attainable civilization without the restraining and elevating iullu ence of Christianity; aud, as Christianity must either stand or fall by the Bible, I fail to sco how it can logically be kept out of the hands of the rising generation. I bolieve that our schools should not be closed against tho representative religious teachers, but that they should havo a specified hour foi ineulcaliug that higher education, withou which it is impossible to become a good citizen ; and I bcliovo I indorse the opinion of the majority of tho people of this country. Mr Coombes'closing remarks nrc worthy of note. Here is a piece of startling information for my "follow citizens," i.e., " Do not let these priests step iv and spoil this splendid system of education, for they always spoil everything they touch. Thoy crucified Christ, and havo gone on making mischief ever -inco," If this prodigy can prove the above—that the founder of Christianity was crucified by, His own, tho Christian priesthood, which is the literal reading of tho above, I will agree with him that the Bible should not be read in the schools, or out of them. I am inclincel to think such a statement is the result of an inferior Scriptural education, In fact, the whole production is a tangible and iirefutible argument in favour of religious teaching.— Yours, &c., G. Y. Rentoul.

Maori Prisoners Convicted.

SENTENCE OF TWO IEARS INFLICTED.

We gave iv last evening's issuo a portion of the report of tho trial of sixty-live West Coast prisoners, charged with unlawfully obstructing the free passage of a thorough faro. The following wore the subsequent proceedings :—Mr Halse took n technical objection to the indictment on the ground that only throe sides of the confiscated boundary were described. Mr Samuel, iv reply, contended that tbe omission was remedied by the preamble of the West Coast Settlement Act, the boundary de scribed being from tho White dills to Wni total a, Mr liaise replied that the intention of the Legislature was not a question of the Court, but whether the Act was suf ficiently definite. Tho Judge took a vote ot the objection. Thomas Humphries, chief surveyor, pro duced a map showing tho couliscated terri tory mentioned in tho West Coast Settle ment Act, 1880. He said there was only ono confiscated territory on the West Coast of the North Island. Tho boundaries men tioned in tho Act are the exterior boundaries of the old confiscation made in 1865. There is only one road under construction within the confiscated boundary, He had no doubt that the whole of the land iv the vicinity of the road was confiscated land. Chatlcsllurstbouse, siirveyorand engineer iv charge of road construction on the con fiscated land, deposed tliat he know where fences had been erected, and pulled down by natives. It was on a road within the boundaries described in the first schedule to the Act.

Walter Gudgeon, Sub-Inspector of the Armed Constabulary Force, deposed that he had been stationed nt the camp since June last. The main road from Stoney River to Waingongoro River runs through the confiscated land, and was being formed. On the 4th of September, when on special duty, he saw the natives coming to camp, carrying pieces of wood with them. They placed them in the ground across the road. The natives were warned to desist. They had been warned not to fence across the road on several previous occasions. As the natives refused to desist ho arrested fifty nine of them. The constabulary took down the fence, and fenced along the road for the purpose of protecting tho crops, but the natives pulled down the fences erected by the constabulary. R. S. Thompson interpreter, deposed to telling the natives that he was instructed by Mr Bryce to tell them that they must not fence. On the 2nd of September he went to Parihaka, and distributed copies of tho Settlement Act, which had been translated into Maori. Te Whiti and Tohu asked him what he came for. He could not say all the prisoners were present, though be knew some of them were there. He gave Kohi, who was returning from the fencing, a copy, but he refused to take it, saying he supposed there were plenty at Parihaka. After he distributed the Acts at Parihaka, Tohu collected them together, and threw them at witness. Hewas present when the prisoners were arrested. The natives were erecting the old fence.

After counsel had addressed the Court, His Honor summed up, and the jury retired to consider their verdict, and after remain ing absent about three-quarters of an hour, they returned into Court with a verdict of guilty. His Honor sentenced the prisoners to two years' imprisonment in the Lytt«Uou gaol, and. to find a surety in |the amount of £50 each to keep the peace for six months after the expiration of tho sentence. He also told the interpreter to tell the prisoners that the length of their sentence depended upon how the natives behaved them selves.

PROFESSOR FRASER ON " THE RE LIGION OF PHRENOLOGY."

The weather last night was unfavourable for Professor Fraser and his interesting subject, still the rain did not prevent many persons who were desirous of hearing tho Professor's last lecture of the season, before his departure for the South. The lecturer said, the teachings of the science of Phreno logy, amalgamated with those of Chris tianity, would form the grand Faith of the Future, when little creeds and little sects would be swallowed up in the nobler dogma of the Brotherhood of Man. Man, in all probability, was related to other intelli gences of which he now knew nothing, scattered throughout tho universe, by his souship to the gr_at Creator of all. Some people fancied that a conflict was arising between scieucc and religion. He utterly denied it. Such a belief could only arise from a misapprehension of religion orscicncc. Mr Eraser expressed his belief that Science and Religion were twin sisters, leading men to the highest ultitudes of human happi ness. The history of the world's religion had yet to be 'written ; its principles delineated; and its faith was only in the dawn of the coming day. The ideal of the earlier records of the Old Testament of a God who sent plagues to punish men—who opened yawning depths in the earth to en gulf men—who was a God of vengeance, and said, "Do this aud thou shalt die," gradually changed to the nobler ideal of David in the Psalms, and of some of the minor Prophets, until we came in the ful ness of times to the New Dispensation, and tho sublime ideal given of him in the New Testament as a God of Love, in the Sermon on the Mount. Could we say that Chris tianity had yet attained its due power over tho people, while ten million armed men watched each other in Europe—while hun dreds of thousands of men committed crimes, profited by crime, and thousands more were continually engaged in repressing it? The lecture throughout was of a thought ful and instructive character, and especially the phrenological sketch of Sir Arthur Cor don, the new Governor of New Zealand. As the description was written out, wo give it in Professor Eraser's own works :-" This "cntleman has the mental motive tempera ment, aud a lino and quick organisation. The head is high in the intellectual and moral regions, while the social and domes tic propensities are not strongly marked. In .. C'al life, tbeu, ho will be a thorough gen tleman, but will not be likely to contract numerous friendships; will certainly not bo

a bail-fellow kind of man. He will calmly held his own position in a dignified manner, and chill off those who wish to break through his quiet reserve. A man of thi3 type will never select friends from lower grades, and will care more for a man's moral worth than for his possessions. He is not likely to countenance any pursuit that does not become, a Christian gentleman, and ho may succeed in winning the enmity of noisy gamblers throughout the colony. The fea tures are well marked, the character as in dicated by them—by the facial angle, and the well marked firmness and conscientious ness—firm, decided, and energetic. He will carry outhispurposes with afirm hand,calmly and without noise. He is clear-headed and rational ; has a good share of intellectual ability, anel the perceptive faculties and powers of memory are such as would enable him to hold his own in any field in which such powers are used. The prominence of benevolence and human nature is such as we see in the heads of men who have carrietl out great philanthropic aims, so that unless his photograph, as given in the papers, Hatters him, his unpopularity among classes who have to drive labourers is fully ac counted for. He is n far-seeing man, and even if he should make mistakes he will be actuated by right motive', and will not have any selfish aim in view. He will not belikely to bo showy or ostentatious ; will just keep up his position iv a becoming manner. Tuken altogether his influence is likely to bo gootl during a period in which all industry, economy, and self-restraint will have to bo brought into play by tho Government and people of New Zealand to pull through the prevalent financial depression." i

CONCERT AT REMUERA HALL.

The bowing or salaaming last cvoning at tho above hall of varieties, coupled with tho vibrations of the silvery voice, for a spaco reigned supreme, temporarily holding high revel sway and sceptre. Tho pitchers of Plurius still kept at it, damping tho "chic" of the audionce, few as they were, owing to the state of the roads aud the miserable weather. In the glee, "Oh, who will o'er tho Downs ?" carefully and crisply sung, the untimely invitation was not accepted, Mr Edmistou reminding tho dross circle beforo him in " Wrecked aud Saved " of the horrors with out, and the appalling terrors of tho " briny." This song and " Thus goes tho World Around " were well sung by tho last-named gentleman. Mrs Ernest Seccombe may be coimratulatcd upon her finished rendering of tho songs " Stur upon Star" and "Tho Maiden's Flower Song." The last-named was're-demanded, and was greatly admired. The " Passage of the Scot" Was fairly read, whilst that prince of Itcmucru elocutionists, Mr Isaacs, sung a most plaintive ballad, entitled, " Ring the Bell Softly," provoking loud applause, and was not permitted to linally resume his seat until " The British Lion" had shaken the dew from oil his mane, receiving most able interpretation at the artist's hands. Mr Edwin Ucsketh accompanied himself to *' Elian Vanniu," aud all those who heard it will well remember tho refined treat thoy had for many days to come. Mr Baber ol.orcd o selection from "She Stoops to Conquer." This reading merited the fully expressed satisfaction of tho visitors. The honours of theevening were equally divided between Mis Clark, whoso skilful piano accompaniments wcro the admiration of the whole assembly, and the Misses Loddsr— Palmaui gui meruit feral. These last men tioned Indies sang n duet "Oh, yo Tears," aud the performance showed most unmis takcably thoso sign . of protracted rehearsal which iv their hands led up to such dulcet sounds and happy consummation. In the course of the evening Mr Herbert Claude Brook, A. A., sang " Come into the Garden Maud," "The Tar's Farewell," and " Good bye, Sweetheart, Good-bye." Mr Tonka cllicicntly occupied the chair.
