Cbiminal Sittings,

(Before Hie Honor Mr Justice Richmond,

ALLEOZD SHOOTING WITH INTENT,

A fresh panel of thirty jurymen having been sworn in, twelve men were duly selected to try what is now known as the " Whungarei Shooting Oase." The prisoner (James William Smith) was then arraigned for the third time upon the indictment charging him with having shot at Kdwiu 'Washer with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Ale pleaded not guilty. In his opening statement the Crown Pro secutor made pointed reference to the iuhospitality of the people at whose houses Mrs Washer called in the course of her wanderiugs on the night of the alleged assault. It was a rainy night and she was belated from 9 o'clock till 4 o'clock in the following morning. At one place where she applied for direction the door was slammed in her face.

His Honor expressed the hope that the Whang ;rei people would be able to explain this apparently strange conduct.

Mro Washer and subsequcutly Mr Washer wcru sworn and repeated the evidence which they have already given in Court. Win. Henry Hazard, gunsmith, cf Queeu street, deposed that he sold to Mr aud Mrs Washer the pistol (produced, viz, that which the prisoner is alleged to have used). It was an effective weapon. Ou Saturday uight he fired from the pistol at a pair of braces, placed against a board and protected by some cardboard ; the distauce from the point of the pistol being two feet or two feet and a half. The bullet did not penetrate the leather pait of the braces, but remained firmly embedded in it, with the point of the bullet flattened. (Braces exhibited). That morning he had made further experi ments, in company with Detective Jeffrey. The braces in this latter case were placed against a piece of: cardboard and covered by a coat and a waistcoat. Witness fired three shots and Detective Jeffroy one. Several of them rebounded from the marks, and one of them ia Hying back grazed hie head. One bullet reached the leather part of the braces, but did not go through it.

Dne of the witnesses at this stage stated his disbelief that pistol bullets fired at such a short distance would rebound from the mark.

His Honor remarked that where it was only a question of opinion with the witness the jurors were quite at liberty to discard it if it conflicted with their own opinions, but where the witness was deposing to a question of fact about which ho knew the jurors were bound to believe him, unless they thought that he was forswearing him self. The jury could be allowed 10 experi ment with the pistol themselves if they so desired.

The foreman of the jury replied that the experiment was not required. The only difference of opinion from the witness was as the relative resistiug qualities of caid board and the human body. The latter was deemed more penetrable. Detective Jeffrey gave evidence corrob orative of that sworn to by the last witness. The elastic nature of the leather on the braces had caused the pistol bullets to re coil.

His Honor rcniaik'sd that the resisting quality of leather had beeu referred to by Sir Walter JScott. In de^ciibiiig the appear auce of liodeiie'rc Dhu, allusion was made to

" His brazeri studs and tough ball hide, Which death so oft had da jlnd aside."

Constable Hammond,of Whangarei, was then examined. He said that the prisoner confessed to him that he fired the shot and then ran away. In examining Washer's back, he found a discolouration of the skiu, corresponding to the position of the leatherwork of tho braces. Subse quently the prisoner gave him a letter to deliver to the Washers, saying that he hoped they would bs lenient with him, and that what ha had said to Mrs Washer wa3 said in a joke.

To the prisoner : I have not got that letter now, but 1 can produce it, it neces sary.

William Henry Hammond, son of the last witness, gave evidence as to the ar rest.

This was the case.

The prisoner then read a lengthy and de tailed statemeut descriptive of hi 3 connec tion with the Washers from his first ac quaintance with them. His explanation of the shooting affray wa« substantially the same as that which he had previously given. flis Honor, in summing up, 'said that before he proceeded to read the evidence there were one or two things which be had to impress upon the jury. They would have to choose between two stories—between tha i-tafct!inent made by the Washers on oath and that given by the prisoner. One of these stories would have to be accepted, for it was out of tho question for the jury to adopt a thiad notion of their own. It might be taken as absoute cer tainty that on the night in question the revolver was fired twice, either in the house as allirmed by the Washers, or outside as stated by the prisoner. They might also accept it as absolute certainty that the pri soner fired one of tho two shots—he himself said the second one, the Washers said both. That was what he wished to call attention to. It would be seen that the prisoner's statement did not involve a denial of the possibility of the bullet found in Washer's braces being tho one which he had fired. . That bullett was fired by somebody—the prisoner alleged by Washer's wife. It was not sug gested by him that the Washer's, entering into a dutestab.'c conspiracy to injure him, had placed it there themselves Beßidea' there was not a particle of evidence to support such a conclusion. All the evidence went to show that Washer was hit in the back by a pistol bullet, and no jury had a right to think otherwise. The true ques tion tor them was— " Who fired that shot ?" Tlmt was the real and only question. The casa, no doubt, was a very strange one in the apparent absence of anything that might be called a motive on the part of the prisoner for sucli an act. But anyone who had au acquaintance with Criminal Courts this was occasionally noticeable. Those who committed yrcat crimes did not act under ordinary motives or impulses. Thack God, it was not so. In another part of the Colony quite recently, a man had been charged with a horrible crime, the only motive for which seemed to be a strange ferocity on the part of prisoner. We must bs Ken of greater imagintaions than to reject everything that did not come within the narrow and circumscribed scope of our own individual experience ; otherwiso we should be very bad judgos and jurie?. His Honor then proceeded to read his notes of the evidence, commenting from time to time upon the more important pas sages.

The Jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty," aud thu prisoner was thereupon discharged. The case against Coombes will be taken at 10 a.m. to-morrow,

COLONEL SCRATCHLEY'S REPORT.

(UYTKLEGRAPHFROM OUR OWN REPORTER.

WELLINGTON, Saturday. The following ia the portion of Colonel Scratchley's report, in full, affecting Auek laud:—Turning to the principal places which need local protection i will commence with Auckland: This town situated on the South-shorn of the harbour tit about 4,000 yards fro.a the entrance, the width of which i« 2,000 yards. There are three channels by which ships can approach this entrance, but they join in hyo outside heads where the navigable width ia reduced to 1,500 yards by a shoal at the end, where there is ii lighthouse on. piles. Once pa-it this lijjht, ship.i can steer a straight course up the harbour for a dis tance of four miles, the average width being 1,000 yard*, with 4 to 12 fathoms of water, llius she might take up a position beyoud the town with the object of filing into it if there wore no defences. Vc«ela could n'so lie oil1 the entrance and bomba'd the town ut a rauge of 4,000 yards. It in obvious, therefore, that the best plan to prevent an enemy entering port ia to provide three torpedo boats in place of mines. Ihe North Head is an ad in I rabid position for a battery, as it commauds the cn'ia:ce at an easy range,together with all approaches and the interior of the port. Ukuliu puiut, on the opposite shore, also affords a favourable site for guns to co operate with those on ihe Nprth Head. The North IL-ad work should be aimed with thrtjn 7-inoh and three 64-pouuder rv.L.lt. K un», two gun.-i facing outside, and four on the entiMi.ce, with the two latter looking up th > hai b nir. For the presi-nt Idonotrecomuicnda second buttery, which, when provided, slumld bo arm d wuli throo heavy guns. I propose instead to utilise an available 40 p.ninJ.jr U.L. gun on a travelling carriage, which should be put into thorough order. In time of war this gun should be placed in a position on Uesolution Point to the cast of Judges Bay, where it would face the entrance and lire upon any ship which might bo passing. Batteries could also bu moved to the wost side of tha t.>wu in case she attempted to go up the harbour. There is another 40-poiindet li.L. gun which was do stroyed by an accident some years ago. 1 have arranged for its examination, and should it be practicablo to have it repaired. 1 propose that the gun should bo sent to England for the purpose. Failing this, it should be re, laced with a lattery ou the North Head armed with six guns. Ab nit fifty shots could be Hied at a ship whilst passing in at a speed of ten knots an hour during 4,000 yards of her course, the range at no time exceeding 2,000 yams. The tinea torpedo boats would bp ready to pounce upon a hostile vessel, and if more than oneeniiairappeaml before the port,each would have to be attacked in detail. It has been proposed to place Wo batteries—one on each side of Judge's Bay, faciug entrance, iustead of at the heads, for the reason that the latter will require permanent garrisons iv time of war.and also be liable to be cap. tured by a coup dc main. Whcu consider ing the description and numbar of forces required for the defences proposed for the New Zealand ports, I shall explain that there need be no difficulty iv providing the garrison. Moreover the sites at Judges Bay arc altogether too retired from entrance and too close upon the town to admit of an effective defence. They arc also badly placed for protecting submarine mines which may be added iv future. The liability to capture c:in bo met by rendering the work self-defciuible by its garrison and by occupying the crown of the hill iv rear. An enemy being prevented from attacking Auckland by sea would no doubt consider whether he could not gain his object by throwing a body of men ou the shore ut some convenient spot out.side where the lauding could be effected. To th& South, the city could only be reached by a loug detour. To the North an enemy might take up a position on the North shore of the harbour from which to lire into the city at ranges yaryiug from 2000 to 3000 yards. Such an enterprise would have to be met by a field force, the constitution of wbich 1 will refer to hereafter, aud if the attack were from the North the signal station on Mount Victoria would have to be occupied. The third modo of attack, viz., bombardment of city and shipping from the sea has already beeu leferred to as not being practicable so loiig as there was a battery at the heads. In ether paits of the report Colonel Scratchley says the enemy might occupy Kussell, or Taurangi, to make special preparations for an att'ici upon one of the larger ports it might be possible at Auckland for the enemy to pass at night, therefore, tkctric lights should be provided. He purposes to establish at Auckland a naval brigade with three torpedo boats. Under the pioposud organiz ation strength in time of war of the perniii nentauxiliary detachments of coast artillery, and with boats' crews at Auckland. There will be six guns iv ono battery and the local force has twenty-live constabulary, one nuudred naval biigadcH, twenty torpe'o boats with crew, numbering 143 ; a full force also of live hundred comprising thirty mounted men, seventy field artillery, a buttallon of four hundred infantry to repel any force lauded by cruisers. Colonel Scratchley sugg'-st* the retention of the Auckland Engineer Volun teers. Ihe Naval Brigade should be 120 strong. He condemns drill by gaslight iv dheds. The total fores recommended tor the colony for maunitjg batteries is 580; torpedo boats, 80; field torce, 2,400; tor pedo corp-i, 40. Total iv time of war, ex clusive of torpedo oorps, 3,060 ; in time of peace, 2,150. _ The estimated cost of main tenance in time of peace of tbe staff and instructors was £2,000 ; the Naval Brigades, £5,000 ; capitation for Volunteers, including garrison, artillery, ami torpedo corps, £6,000; camps of exercise and contingencies, £4,000; custody of stores, £500 : total, £17,500. 'Ihe present expenditure on Voluuteers is £40,374. Total cost of batteries, arming, electric lights, &c, £37,000 ; balance avail able on special vote for defences, £9,000

Scene in a Court.

TEE GAME OF FIFTEEN,

While the Police Court was in session this morning fifteen prominent citizens were led up into the police dock by an oih'cer, who wore a demoralised lnok and carried iv his band a little square box. Each of the pri soners, as they came stumbling up, also bore injthcir hands a little box identical in size with that in possesion of the officer. The same haggard and bewildered look worn by the oflicor charactised them all. No sooner had they been given a seat than officer and men, totally oblivious of cour« and spectators, fell to work with desperate energy fumhling their mysterious boxes. Judge Rix gazed at them for a second in open-mouthed astonishment, when recover ing .his senses, he sharply exclaimed :— " Officer, what's the charge againgt these prisoners?" "Whoop!" came from the officer. " I have it—l 3, 14, 15 ! Confound it, how did that 12 get in there ?" The hum and shuffling became louder, and the sup posed lunatic kept constantly muttcrim', "13, 15, 14; d—ll it ! Here she is, 4,3. Oh shoot that 1. Where's that 2?" "That's not the way to got it. Now, see here ; you shove the ,13 up, the 14 down, and the 15 sideways, and there you have it. No by the eternal, not yet." "Officer, aro you going crasy 1" shouted the now alarmed Judge ; where did you get all those luna tics ?" Just then a glimmer of reason illuminated the oiKcar addressed,and with a dcep'sigh he came dejectedly up to the bar, and presenting a box, said; " Try it, Judge." "Try what? Oh, I see you have arrested thase men for gambling some. New game ? " No ; 'taint that, Judge ; it's a puzzle. Look here : try it; you want to gat these figures in order; thus 13, 14, 15."

" Oh, that's easy enough," aud the Court unguardedly took the box and began care lessly to move the majic blocks. After Khuflling them several times, His Honor called Prosecuting Attorney Blaney to his aid. The two soon became wrapped in the brain-exhausting puzzle, and forgotten were spectators and prisoners alike. Lawyers, reporters, bailfis, and clerks moved up to His Honor, and glanced at the little jokers, soon their eyes began to glisten, aiul each offered a su<;ge?tioii—" Push the 5 ti.cre " ; "Slide the 4 here;" " Kun tho 14 down one row ;" " JS'o you dou't; the 13 goes in there," etc. Meanwhile the petty thieves and bruglara aud vagabonds in the dock had obtained possession of the pnehanted blocks from tho new prisoners, and they were soon battling with the problem. Kobbed of their raajic boxes, the spell of which had kept them at work upon them all night long in a cell below heedless of their surroundings, the citizen begans to realise their positiou, and to steal quietly out cf court. The last man was just dipping out of tho dock when Captain Short, coming iv to the courtroom noticed tha set and grabbed him. This movement aroused His Honor, who, throwing the tantalising box on the floor, called the Court fo order. " Officer, where's your prisoners ?" I don't know." Don't know ! What do you mean by neglecting your duty. Bring that man here. What is the charge against him?" " Well, your Honor, I found him and fourteen others iv front of a toy shop in Kearney-street last night. One of them had previously bought ouejof those confounded puzzles and the others becoming interested

I had rushed in and bought themselves each oic They were standing at the sidewalk, obstructing passage, and gestulating, swear, ing, tearing their liairandgoiuconlikemad, 1 arrested the whole lot, but happening to take a look at the blocks myself, forgot to 'book them, but clapped .them in a cellj where I havo been myself all tlight working at the confounded thing without getliim it fight" The Court was uiugunniinniis enough, in view nf all the oinm-nstiinco', to dismiss the charge and forgive the oH'n er t-T liis negligence.—San liranei^co paper.

WELLINGTON, this day.

THE REPRESENTATION BILL.

The Government have been engaged during the week ondeavouriug to arrange schedules of the Representation Bill shortly

to be introduced. It is found that on the populatiou basis Auckland may lose one

member, though strenuous endeavours will

bo made by the Auckland Members to avert such a catastrophe. Mr Swanson who lias given much time and careful study to the arrnugemcnt of the town consti tuenceu, lias practically succeeded in pre venting the loss of n member, though One huuga and I'den are merged in adjacent now districts. I think considerable credit is dne to him. Considerable modi licutima will no doubt bo made in the Auckland electoral districts, it is not likely that the Thames will Butter, tl!uiiL;li part of the district may be annexed to F. a-.i klyu or Wuikato. Fiauklyn itself will doubtless retain its two members, as at pre sent. Mi- Luihlou'h constituency may pos sibly sailer, as it is only about .some forty • two or forty - four per cent, of the average on tho population basis. Tur.maki is almo.-t sure to lose a number, notwithstanding that it has a powerful friend in Major Atkiiwon, n» it is much over-represented. Nelson baa about throe mombers too many ; and Otugo and jiml Canterbury claim seven or eight extra members between them, which would still further increase thn prepondonuico of the Middle Island voting power over the North.

NEW ELECTORAL DIVISIONS OP

AUCKLAND. f am in a position, through the couitesy of au inllueutial member of the House, to give you precise information regarding the proposed divisions of Auckland and its suburbs. AUCKIAND City.—Auckland City will bo divided by a line alon^ Cook-stroct, and called " City North" and " City South ;" leaving City East with one member us at present, City West being divided into two separate aud distinct constituencies, with tho same general boundaries an now.

(jKiirroN.—A new district, to be called Greyton or Karangahapo, will be consti tuted, returning one member, and this will take in tile following Highway Boards, viz.: Graftou. Karautrahape, and Eden Ter race. It also takes in the Grafton Road District from Parnell and Karaugahape, and Kden Terrace off Newtou. Popula tion, 4,795.

Newton Elkctoual District.—This is considerably enlarged, and includes the following highway districts, viz : — The Whau, Alouni Albert, Mount Roskill, tho whole of Poiut Chevalier, Newton, and Arch Hill. Population, 4,732. Parnell Elkctokao Distiuct.— This will embrace Newmarket, Remncrn, and Orakei, and give a population of 4,505.

ICDB.N Electoral DrsTiuur.— This will embrace Cii'.-hunga, One-tree Hill, Mount Wellington, Paumure, and iamaki. Popu lation, 4,638.

Thus there will be seven electoial dis tricts, returning seren members as now. The arrangement <>f these districts has bieu carried out by the liorerniuent mainly on the advice of Mr Swanson, whose principal object has been to preserve the number of members, maintain the highway district iutact, equalise tho population, and so arrange the boundaries of the new electoral distiicts, us to satisfy the people. In order to do this he sent copies of maps ol the pro posed new distiicts to the chairman of the

Highway Boards, and from nil but one or two has received satisfactory assuraucts. He has succeeded, ai will be seen above, iv edecting the three main objects aimed at iv a satisfactory manner, whatever other ob jections may bo entertained to the proposed districts.

THS SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.

Tho " New Zealand 1 im'cs " this morn ing contains an elaborate leader on the Scat of Government. It claims that Wellington nai selected aa the Sent of Government in lS6i, purely on Geographical and adminis trative grounds; So circumstances have arisen skce to niter the decision as to the establishment of the Seat of Government. Wellington alone prevented separation— and cnu aione prevent it iv future. The a: tide makes damaging admissions to the effect that when the Scat of Government \va' established people ceased to dip.ml on legitimate resources. People abandoned their old simple frugale habits, and both the inhabitants and society took their loan front the Government establishment. For one person who was in debt in 18G4—the:o are now oui hundred. The place has lived upon the Seat of Government, grown up out of tho Seat of Government, ."pecu lated on the Seat of Government, and if it suddenly c:-a*ed to be the Seat of Govern ment it would collapse like a bladder pricked by a pin, anil would not recover herselt for years to come.

The " Times" is advocating the abolition of Hansard. Mr Bain, the real owner of the " Times," Is moving heaven and earth to get subsidy for the publication of a news-paper report onstead of Hansard.

THE PEACE PRESERVATION BILI

The Peace Preservation Bill, which was read for the first time on Friday, i-i not jet circulated iv print, but I am in a position to say from authentic information that its object is to enable the Government to dcul with the Maori prisoners now in custody. The time of detention fixed by the act of last session haviug nearly expired, 1 under stand that the Government do not intend to propose tho trial of the prisoners iv the present critical condition of affairs,especially as the Government believe they could not charge the prisoners with any offence, which would involvo more than a few day a' imprisonment at the end of which period the prisoners would be liberated and return to Parihaka, whore they would become a dangerous element iv conjunction with the natives who are already assembled there. It is estimated that there are at Parihaka and in its immediate neighbourhood three hundred able bodied natives most of whom are from othcrdistrictsandmightactiudepeu dently of Te Whiti's authority and repudiate his policy of passively protesting against the road-making aud the occupation of land. I am in a position to state that the Govern ment still regard the position on the West Coast as eminently critical. Strong bodies of natives continue at intervals to dig up in front of the live upon which the road will be constructed, though they do not venture to meddle with the constructed road. Te Wliiti maintains his apparently peaceful attitude, but declines to entertain the proposals submitted by the Government on the ground that they would lead to no satisfactory or practical results ; but he suggests that Governor liouiu son should go to Purihaka and attend a meeting to discuss matters, believing that whatever arrangement would become to would be binding and be ratified. The Ministers, however, do not see their way to advise Governor Kobinson to comply with Te Whiti's request, and the Governor, of course, has no idea of going there unadvised by his responsible advisers. I am further in a position to say that Ministers would be willing to come to some arrangement with the prisoners themselves for their liberation on the basis of substantial guarantees for their good behaviour, but tho prisoners are hopelessly impracticable, and when any pro posal is mooted refer the Government to Te Whiti, through whom alone they will receive any overture?. The most important pba^c which the mutter has assumed is a proposal from Kewi (Manga), of the Ngatimaniapoto ti'ibo, to take the Maori prisoners under his ohargp, settle them at Waitara, and become personally responsible for their safe keeping and oood behaviour. lam informed on un doubted authority that f-uch a proposition has been submitted by Kewi, but tho Government do not fee t'icir way to ac cept it, partly because they have no abso lute security for Kewi's power to fulfil hi^ part of tho proposed agreement, and partly bee?use they do not clearly see how ttewi would he in that capacity in regard to WaiUra, as it might involve future compli cations in that direction, being tantamount to a virtual acknowledgement of liewi's mana over the district. What the Govern ment propose to do is to obtain power from Parliament tc extend the period of the detention of the prisoners, with authority to toliberatealimifednumberof them from time to time if deemed advisable UDdercircumstan ce3 then existing. As an experiment, it is proposed to liberate a small party nf William King's people, some cf whom are undergoing eeutences, atid to carefully watch its effects with, a view to future action in the same direction if the experi ment succeeds. This proposed plan has already been mooted to Wm. King (Wiremu Kingi), who has received it in a friendly manlier, promising to use every endeavour

to induce the liberated natives to settle quietly on their lands.

IMHHHI M

Gt'LDFiE' DS MEETING,

In i««ponse to a letter from the goldtields the Ministers aud the Pre'iu'cr invited those members to meet him this morning. Present :—Major Harris, Messrs DeLatour, Soddon, Finn, Tait, Brown, Kceves, Shep herd, Masters, J. B. Fisher, Hirst, Shrimski, Jones, and Ireland. Mr Bowen opened the discussion by stat ing that in response to an invitation he was prepared to hear what the Premier had to say. The Premier said he had written a letter to the gentleman who had signed the reso lution, but that he had concluded that it would be' better to meet him. Mr RERVES said a general feeling fav oured the appointment ot a Minister of Mines the same as in Victoria. The mining interest had been neglected in this Colony, and the effect hud been to create unemployed. There gwerc unemployed on the gold fields. Mr Brown thought it was not neces sary that the administration of the mining interest should be in the hands of a per son holding a single portfolio. The Minister of Mines he thought might be I employed with some other portfolio such as I that of Minister of Lands. The mining industry has been neglected. The mining and agricultural went hand in hand. Wherever facility ollered miner* tinned their attention to the Art of Agriculture Mr SHIiIMSKI said that it appeared that the Government did not desire the opinion of tiie (lOldlinlds Corporation. The dis trict which he represented was capable, according to l'rofcssor Ulrich/* of maintain ing thousands of families j yet no facilities had beon afforded tor such development,

because it would interfere with the pastoral interests, of which the Government were so careful.

Mil FikK said he did not thiuk the present tJovcrimiciit solely responsible for the neglect, pointed out by the previous speakers. The p.ist Government were equally culpable, ho explaiiiod ut consider able length the difficulties under which miners in his district siill'ered tlirough nut having a road from Macetown to Arrowtown, which would cost only £3,000. Wero this done, ho knew for a fact that a largo number of miners with capital would eomo from Victoria next spring, and engage in the dovelopeinent of this import ant hold, the average yield from which has been nearly -lozs to the ton. Mo tihaftH wore required. There waf tunnelling only at present. Only capitalists could work profitably upon the (ielc.

Mr ItEUVKS coroborii.cd what .Mr Kirn: said.

Mr SuDDON said ho thought tho inten tion of the Government was to give pound for pound subsidy on the whole amount expended by miuiug associations had not been done.

Mr Hall Baid that towards the end of last session he introduced a bill for the appointment of a new minister to hold the portfolio of mines amongst others. The idea ivaa abandoned beciiube of the strong feeling in the Hou«e against it. 'iho duties poiformed by miuislors were difficult. They could not govern from any ono centre, and were compelled to visit all parts of tho colony, which occupied considerable time. That was why he thought it desirable to have an eighth minister.

In reply to Mr Ireland, ho said Mr Oliver had been given the portfolio of Minister of Mines, because he understood something of mining. Uc was aware the present system waa unsatisfactory, The Government had discussed the matter, and purpoiod to cll'ect a ri'-ai rsnuement of portfolios on the rising of the House. He particularly wished those present to comidcr the unfortuuate financial position of the country. There was abso lutely no money available for anything, and tho greatest economy waa forced upon tho country.

Mr Fisiir:it drew atfen'im to what tlio local revenue on Government golilficicla was devoted to, |nnnivly, maintain inu main roads. TJie interests of the colony demanded that the revenue of gold iitthlsj should be left, ns far as possible, to bo devoted to openiuff new tracks. The course pursued by the Government regarding Waimancaroa reserve, and the withdrawal without con sideration or inquiry of au important gold lield to suit the interests of a coal company, showed tho necessity of a Minister of Gotdlields.

Several other gentlemen having spoken, and the deputation having thanked Mr Hull, withdrew.

Columbia.—The contractors have ex tended the drive on tho VVhau level through the Devon ground a distance of 90ft. since starting. They have about 60ft. more to drive before reaching the boundary. There ia no lode yet, but it is thought that it isiu the left hand side of the drive, and they are bringing the drive gradually around to see whether it is or not. Xhe country is full of stringers and branches of quartz. SOUTHERN Choss — Operations in this Dime arc chiefly couJiueci for the present to the level iv which Moorcraft and party opened up dining their tribute term at the buck of the Big Pump, and are mostly of a piospcctmg nature, toiuce Air Black took charge he has cleaned out an old winze sunk to a depth of about 50 feet by the tiibuteis and nowly timbered it. He has now com menced to sink it a further depth upon the reef, which averages about 4 inches in thick ness, for the purpose of opening up a new block of ground. The reef ia the same one as was wrought by the tributers, who during their tribute term, obtained several handsome returns from it. Mr Jilack has also men omplojed in driving upon a leader winch was discovered crossing the main reef m the back of the old stopes. On the level the leader waa not to bo seen, but after putting in a cross-cut a few feet it was j n tersected aud found to be of a very pro mising character. It averages about nine inches in thickness, and contains good mineral indications, and on the footwall there arc a number of small black veins dropping into it. No gold has yet been seen, but the manager feels conlident of its proving payable. .Near the winze a cross cut is being driven through the spur of the hill at the back of the old engine-house. The reason for driving this is that several parties of men seem anxions to get the ground ou tribute, and offered as high a per centage as 40 per cent for it, therefore tho manager deerrs it advisable to prospect the ground for the company. On the face ot the hill near the tramway leading to the Alburnia battery, the manager haa a man employed in driving on a small leader, which he thinks ;uay perhaps lead to something better.

Kukanui Hill.—After driving on No. 1 lode about 45 feet beyond the specimen leader, a body of quartz was intersected crossing the face which the manager thought was another cross-reef, but upon breaking in'o it and picking uri the footwall, it was discovered that it was No. 1 lodo itself, taking a sharp turn about. It has now turned again, however, aud resumed its original course. The size of the lode is about 4 feet, and a portion of the quartz contain a little mineral with a Quantity of antimony, but the larger portion"of the reef

is composed of rather hungry looking quartz. The drive under the specimen leader ha^ been timbered up during the week, and stoping Btarted upon it on Satur day. Caledonian.— The lode which wb» intersected in the cross-cut at No 3 level on Thursday last has been broken into about 2 feet, but the footwall of it has not yet been leached. There appears to have been an old water course in the lode at tho point where it is touched as there are several largo fissures iiu the lode, but the quartz has a very promising appearance, and contains a good class of minerals. The old working on No. 3 lode at the 360 feet level were cleared out during last week, and a start made to rise up on the lode to eifect com munication with the level above. The quartz here has a very likely appearance, and will probably prove to be payable. Good progress has been made of late in sinking the winze under the footwall of the eastern lode, but in tho present bottom there is another largo lode coming in which makes it more difficult to get down upon. Old IGolden Ca.lf.-No. 1 lode has been intertected in the drive which has been put in on the slide at Ho. 3 level. At the point where it was met with it is about 3 feet thick, but is rather disordered on account of being so near the slide. Tho drive is now within 80ft. of the Moanatairi main slide, and close under where No. 9 lode in the M oanatairi mine made the famous patch of gold.

(FROM TO-DAYS "ADVERTISER.")

NEW Wha.u.— The drive at the IGO-feet level is now in a distauco of nearly 120 foot beyond the Alburnia boundary, with the lode about four feet thick. The footwall portion consists of white barren quartz, but on she hanging, wall there is fully two fuct of quartz which has a very promising appearance, and contaius a good class of minerals. This portion of the reef appears to be making stronger as driven upon, and will evidently cut o(F the white quartz on the footwall a few feet ahead. Tho inter mediate level is being pushed ahead on a body of quurtz between 3 and 4 feet thick, which contains good minerals, and is good payable dirt. In the Btopes overhead the reef appears to bo somewhat disordered at present, but the auartz does not look bad.

Cuke.—Nothing more has been done upon No 7 lode than breaking through it. The manager now intends to put up a rise on it at once, and connect with the bottom of the winze sunk from No 2 level, this work being uecoasary before driviug can be .commenced, as tho ventilation is rather light at present.

THE PROPERTY TAX,

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—Do allow mo a word, I havo waited

in vain for better. This outcry agninst the tnx on "personal" property is a shame and diagraco to ull who make it. There are

reasons why such a tax khould be more than on other property*, but not a shadow of reason for its escaping altogether; aud the tctccch about its " inquisitornl

uture is only a convenient sham jmt on to

idc the real motive. To point a case, nagine a person (even it iuight; be, if yon

like, this same tax man, only,ias anothci character) visits u»e of these tl'iu skinned

gentleman with a polite icijuo.it to be allowed to view the fine collection he has heaid of, would he not »how him all round and expatiate on tho beauty and value of, .say his pictures, for instance, perhaps in this Btyle—Ah ! look at thin now Mr I inch (you seem a connoisseur.) '• What do you think of that t that cost me —" ; " and this is worth ■it least—" ; " and here is a real—" ;" I would not take — for it" ; " yes, air, truly a fine collection—why you must; have at least — pounds in value here " ; " I beg your pardon, sir, I tell you true—you dou't come half way " ; nnd to on would he show his books, his furniture, his plate, &c., (catch me when I'm iv the humour), and learc nothing unshown. Of course, he would. Does "inquisitorial" annoy him? Not at all; for has he not these thiugs almost entirely for the very purpose. The same' with his lady ; does ehe not put on her jewels to be admired, and expect to havo them valued and envied by her peers t Yes ; aud how blandly too would she correct an erroneous gucs3 of £50 that should be £100, or "£l5O my dear," andnothine: inquisitorial thoughtof,in fact they court it, desiring most of ail (from the least to the biggest) that nothing of their " personals" ("hall be hid or unknown. The fact is, sir, this outcry springs (almost alonr.) from that sordid inßtiuct that cares

not how or who the money is wrung; out of, ao they save their own skins, and cau any way evade their propor share. I say, that "personal" property might well be taxed the most—for of all other taxes, it can be said, either they hamper trade, or the payer can evade it by re-charging it on his under ling, or it is hard on the poor, or it stops, divorts or entangles tho employments of the hundreds it interferes with, none of which cim be s»id ot a tax on " personal?," which would interfere with nothing and nobody else ; besides, too, of all other properties it may be said they are "stumping around" and otlior. j besides the possessors reap some benefit. Not so these "personals," they more than any other represent "ex cess bejond needs " —they are stagnant for any general good, for whatever good is in

them it is for the possessor alone; to gratify his own pride, or increase his own pleasure. He divides with none, ho gulps it all himself. Pride and pleasure truly as fair game (as even in toxicant) for the tax gatherer. Now, sir, 1 make this out. There aro thousands, even middle class, who have their hundreds value in such "personals" and perhaps hundreds upon hundreds of others who have some thousands. Will the Government be suborned to listen to these false and hypo critical wails. I trow not.—l am &c,

PONSONBY HIGHWAY BOARD.

(To the JPditor.)

Sir —The sweets of office must have some thing very agreeable in them for somo people, in local as well as general institu tions. Somo time ago a requisition, signed by ratepayers, representing over twenty-five votes was presented to the chairman, re questing a special meeting to be called, for the purpose of having the financial state ment brought before the ratepayers provious to the nomination of trustees for the cur rent year. According to the act this meet ing should have beon called forthwith, but after some shuffling it was announced to the party who made the requisition, that the annual meeting would be held first and the financial statement &ivcn before the nomination. But mark the sharp trick that follows. An advertisement now appears stating that tho nominations for trustees will bo on the following day. Their object hern is easily seen through. They want the fornications to take place the next day before tho financial statement appears in tho STAR lite next evening. Wo hope that the ratepayers will give this trick due attention, as there must be some cause for such sharp play. The trustees who are guilty of Eiich conduct should not be returned again to oltice. And ifjratc payers arc true to their own interests, they will nominate and return quite a new Board for the next year. As ratepayers are not going (o have the chance of seeing the financial statement in public print before t'u> nomination, let them come to Ponsonby Hall on Wednesday next, and hear it before they nominate any of the present Board again.—Yours, &c,

A EatepAyek,

Tho linal meeting of creditors in the estate of W. H. Hubert, bottler, of Auck land, aud formerly storekeeper of Ngarua wahia, was held this incrniug at the Supreme Court-house. A very lengthy report by the trustee having been read, the recommendation of discharge was voted by a majority ot those present.
