for his side. Jarvis and Blackmail hit the score up to 20G, and then the latter was run out for 81. A smart piece of lidding ran out Jams, and the innings finished at a quarter pnst four for 214. The local team iv its second innings got 10G runs. Spofibrth took eight wickets at a cost of f>o runs, and Boyle seven for 41. 'Die eleven runs neces sary were obtained by the Australians with out the loss of a wicket. Tho Colonists took a rest of foiir days, and on May 2Sth, commenced a match against 18 of Rochdale. The Homo team could do but little with the bowliug of Spoll'orth and Boyle, the latter taking ten "wickets for ."54 runs, and the former seven wickets for 53 runs. The innings closed for 92. During the Austra lian's innings there was some line hitting, McDonnell driving Beaton clean out of the ground for six, aud then petting four successive hits for four each time from the s*mo bowler, who wus then relioved, Bannermau made a score of 43, including live fours, two threes, and three twos, while McDonnell put together 51, in which were a six, a live, two tours, a three, and five twos, lionner's score of 18 included a splendid ou-diive out of the grouud for frix, and an off-drive for live. The innings concluded for 212. The most etlective bowler for Uochdalo was Taylor, who took four wickets for 50 mus. The Eighteen* second innings was vciy uninteresting, and was all over in less than two hours. JJoyle and Spofibrth were unchanged throughout the innings, aud only four of tho Eighteen got into double figures. The last wicket fell for 94, and the match ended in an easy victory for the Australians by an innings and 2G runs, lioyle t»>ok eight wickets at a cost only of 39 runs, and bpoiibrth cijjht for 51. The match against Keighley aud dis trict commenced on Juno Ist. Slight and Moulo were left out of the colonial team, while the Eighteen included soniu good men such us Hay, Hoggs, Tyc, and Wash. 'JUic Home team went iv firtt, and played an uu iutcresting innings for 102 ruus. Spoil'orth took eight wickets for 46' runs, and lioyle seven for 45. The baiting of the Australians was not very brilliant, the ten wiokcts falling for 9S runs. Nash bowled very success fully, his analysis being C 2 overs, 40 maidens, 34 inns, and 4 wickets. The .Eighteen went in at a quarter past three, and made a wretched exhibition. Only one member of tue team got into double figures, and the innings was all over in an hour and a half for 53. lioyle had a wicket that suited him to a nicety, and took twelve wickets, at a cost of only 23 runs. Spof forth took live wickets for 28. With 5S runs set them to win, the Australians en tered on their second inniugs, but when time was called they had two wickets down for 32, and the match was therefore drawn in their favour. Banuermau 11 and Groubc 18 were the not outs.

Correspondence.

THE OHANGE CELEBRATION,

(To the Editor.)

SIR, —I am sorry to thiuk a clergyman of the Church of England should try to mis lead the unthinking in rsgard to "a society, the aims of which are as pure and noble as the love of truth can make them. Allow me to say to Mr Long, the "line " we take is the lino of truth; Mr Long is " the friend of all and the enemy of none " —so saith the Orange Society. It demauds that its members, if possible, should Jive at peace with all men, knowing that none but the ignorant crer seek to punish tho indivi dual tor the fuult of a system. The war of the Oraugo Society is not, therefore, wilh persons but with principles. It aims at retaining iv the Church the beauty of sim plicity, a beauty given to the Church by Our Master, Jesus Christ. The members of the Oiange Society are, even a3 Mr Long, the friends of all; but they are tho uncom promising foca of error and false doctrine. Mr Editor, in my countiy it was the custom to call a person who happened to hi rather fond of jusing the personal pronoun egotis tical, and 1 heard of one gentleman who, from love of thin pronoun, was called the " bij< I." To use it (the pronoun) twouty-ono times in ouc letter, as Mr Loug docs, in surely bad taste, to put it mildly. Why, some people iv Auckland will say that " 1" wants t;> become known to the public. Mr I ong speaks of tho "subject heated" (I suppose " heated "ia a misprint). Now the best way to heat tho subject would bo on the public platform ; and I am willing to meet Mr Long when aud where he willeth, and defend tho position taken by my absent friend, "The very young Orangeman," in regard to his nllinnation that "llornan Catholicism had devastated tho Holds of Fiance." Surely, if Mr Long was acquainted with the religious history ot Franco, he would not make the foolish assertions and accusations which are to be found in his letter. Does he not remember the awful death-bod oi Francis L, when fearful visions of past guilt llitted before his mind? He had given his sanction to the murder of many of his Protestant subjects, and this was the thorn in his dying pillow. A Koman Catho'ic writer teJls us that in Pro vence 22 towns were burned, and the people murdered by the light of their buruiug homes. In Cahricics 700 men were murdered iv cold blood. The women aud children were shut up in a barn, the barn was then lired, and they were burned to death.

I need not remind him of the awful crimes sanctioned by the Church of Koine in the reign of Hendry, when men were dragged to prison and put to death for the awful crime of eating beef on Fiiday. Speaking of that time, Felice says, " It was one vast system of terror in which even the shadow of juttioe was no longer visible." Need I mention the terrible rnansacro of St. Bartholomew, and the rejoicings in Paris and home over it, the wars of the Cnnosards, &0. &c. Mr Long seems to have an interest ia " young men connected with Oranguism ;" let him show that interest by putting them in the " Hue " of getting trustworthy infor mation. This may best bo done by accept ing my oilier. Allowme to say, in conclusion, that seldom, if CTor, do speakers on the Orange platform " bandy general terms of abuse.'' Their assertions they support with tacts. Let Mr Long deal wilh facts, and cast aside his platitudes, and I for one will become his disciple and sit at his feot and learn. But while Orangemen sec nothing but egotism and self-assertion, they must go elsewhere for a teacher.—l am yours, &c, Thomas Wm. Dunn. (I'o the Editor). SIR,—If there be one rule more easily assumed than any other iv the present day, and more certain to take with the mass, it is that of the few and enlightened liberals who see good in the devil, and look with pitying contempt on the man who dares to be in earnest iv his opposition to error, or his support of truth ; and 1 imagine this is why Mr Long has favoured mo with his criticisms in your issue of the 19th. I suppose, haviog been delicately twitted with my youth, patronizingly assured that a closer acquaintance with Freuch history would let into my mind a little of that light that Mr Long already revels in, aud gratuitously iuformed of the astounding fact that that gentleman has studied the lives and labours of many of the Koman Catholic clergy, and finds that, despite the bndnesd of their creed, many of them are good men, I ought to feel at once grateful, humiliated, and enlightened ; but I urn simply annoyed that 1 am dragged iuton newspaper controversy in order to contra dict mistaken assertions aud answer argu ments that are tounded on the supposition that I manifested in my speech a spirit that I hate. To begin with, 1 did not *ay that Roman Catholicism has devastated the fair fields of "La belle France." In referring to the persecuting spirit manifested by that Church in bygone days, I said " that on the eve of St. Bartholomew she arrayed 'La belle Francs' in the grim garb of the assassin." Perhaps I am wrong in this, however, as Cardinal Newman will inform Mr Long that the laity do not possess the rr.!cß for interpreting such authoritative acts of the Church he represents. Mr Long may also deny that educated Frenchmen arc being forced by their reaction from the j superstitions of Home iuto atheism. It is nevertheless the easel, and in a recent £ngli«h paper I find the statement that among the children of the Catholic Irish who are being educated iv the public schools the same result is observable as they iiUaiu to years of maturity. My statement that Keligious Reforms arc as a rule accomplished by the laity, I adhere to, whatever the Board of Examiners may say. As in the case of the Great Reformation— a Luther may fan the fire iuto a speedier conflagration, but the combustibles are not of a clerical nature. Then and there a minister may espouse the cause, and by reason of his position play a leading part, but I repeat that the clergy are as a mle conßcrvatiTe,and,in revolutionary rnnks,are conspicuous by their absence. Mr Long next proceeds to enlighten the public mind on the fact, that he wished to be the " friend of all and the enemy ot none." A laudable desire—the possession of which, if a man does his duty in this world i« never believed in by anybody but himself, and assures us that if we will only study as he has done the history of the Koman Catholic Church, while we condemn the cruelty of her bad meu, we shall admire the piety and earnestness of many of her adheronti. I am willing to believe it the unintentional result of an uuconscious egotism ; but I hold that this part of Mr Long's letter is offen sive in its very suppo?ition, that those whom he addresses are ignorant and bigoted enough to identify all Catholics with the spirit and action of the Church they adhere |6. Had he been present at the meet ing on the 12th, he would more than once have heard the earnestness and sincerity of many ' Catholics spoken of with respect. But it is Catholicism that we are opposing ; and while I admit that the Lord Gordon riots were the result of a persecuting and rabid spirit, hateful to God and dis gusting to all right-minded meu, 1 hold that Catholicism legalises the persecution of heretics ; that Christianity condemns the persecution of Catholics; that Koine boasts that she is unchanged and therefore boasts that had she the power she would again strangle our civil and reli gious liberty, and suppress by physical force our faith And, therefore, while I number among my friends some Roman Catholics, I shall always oppose Roman Catholicism, 'both in the political and reli gious world, by every legitimate means in my power. 1 here is one part of Mr Long's letter that I cannot pass without further comment. In his defence of the syllabus alluded to he quotes Newman's statement that the rules for interpreting authoritative documents arc not known by laymen. Sir, such an utterance is vile enough for the lips of any Jesuit, and I am sorry that Mr Loug adopts it. We are Hd, for instance, in an encyclical letter, issued December Bth ISG4, by Pius IX, " That it is insanity to say that liberty of conscience and of worship ia the right ot every man ; that those who preach it, preach the liberty of perdition, etc." Now, Mr Long tells me that we are not to attach the liteial meaning to these intolerant words, they having a deep and hidden significance for piiest and pries': alone. Young as I am, I am not quite young enough to believe that, and I hope that when 1 do attain to the years and experience of my instructor, I shall so far have made up my mind as to the respective truth or falseness of the Koman Catholic and Protestant faiths as not to figure as the author of a letter that will leave its readers gazing in astonish ment at a species of ecclesiastical platypus, wondering " What on earth the man is." With reference to " Consistent," I can only say that I did not, and do not, deny to any duly-elected Catholic his right to oc cupy political position. I hold, though, that I have a perfect right to counsel my fellow-Protestant to vote for Protestant rather than for men whose votes on certain occasions, and under certain circumstances, are as completely in the hands of the clergy as were the votes of the Catholics during the recant election.

'i his is a Protestant country, and I would simply endeavour to maintain Protestant rule iby means of the ballot-box. I fail to see the element of persecution in this.

Apologisiug for the length of this letter, on the grounds that it is eaiier to make a charge than au explanation,—lam, &c., Leonakd M. Isitt. (To the Editor.) Sir, —I was much surprised to read F. 11. Long's letter on the above subject. At the onset I may state that I am not a member of the Orange Society, nor do I endorse all done by that Society. I think a very great divergence from Protestantism has taken place, when an educated gentleman, a minister (or priest) of a Protestant Church is prepared to • surrender the right God giver of forming his own opinion of the utterance of a fellow mortal given expressly to guide the conduct of the Uhurch of which ho is the Visible Head. Is it likely that the hierarchy would con cede to laymen the discrimination of under standing auy authoritivc document, or ut terance—"Tlieir's not to reason why, theirs but to do or die," ecclesiastically, at all events. Mr F. 11. Long is no doubt ac quainted with Mr Gladstone's controversy on the Infallibility dogma—he will doubt less remember that Mr Gladstone accuses tho lioman Church of changing front by the proclamation of that dogma, which Cardinal Mauuingaud a host ot others, both Catholic and non-Catholic, admit is tlie case. Mr Gladstone publishes tho protestation of the Roman Catholics of England in 17SS-9, which protestation was signed by Vicars, apojlolic clergy and laity iv great numbers. In that document the subscribers "ac knowledge no infallibility in the Pope." In the Komau Catholic ap pointment* recently made, Mr Gladstone is true to his expressed convictions. He says, "Of what the Liberal Party has accomplished, by word or deed, in estab lishing the full civil equality of Koman Catholics, 1 regret nothing, I recant noth ing." What Mr Gladstone sought to do was to point out the dunger to liberty, through Vaticanism, and to exhort faith ful allegiance to Great Brit»in'n Govern ment, and the rejection of all foreign domination iv secular matters. Mr Long reminds us that iv Englaud the re-union of Christendom is anxiously sought for. Upon what basis ? Not so much on agree ment on the teaching of Holy Writ, as upon tho mutual recognition of Episcopal Churches. The union of the Greek, Latin, and Anglican Churches are regarded as the uniou of Christendom. Thousands of Komau Catholics, disbelieve in the IS7O departure aud its consequences, which in every country under heaven, seeks tho des truction of liberty, and cuolavement of humanity. Wo true lover of this fair coun try seeks to sow discord among its inhabi tan's. True peace will only be conserved by the Church and State bjing supreme in their respective spheres. When either power oversteps its legitimate fuuetions discord must ensue.—l am, oic , It. Fkekcii.

Eden Terrace Post-officb.--"Voritas" writes : " Atnicus 11. G. writes more in the interests of the storekeeper, who, until lately, enjoyed the bancDta brough' to his store through having the Poet-ollico,than iv those of the human race. It is a pity that the facts of the case have not officially been published, so that the true reasons nuy be known why the Post-office at Eden Terrace was closed. The postal authorities have, I understand, acted ova well-known principle, namely, that &s the postal deli very by letter carrier is extended, the ollices within the limit of that delivery are closed. This principle was applied to Eden Terrace when the delivery was exteuded to the Mount Koskill lioad, and to convenience the residents beyoud the delivery offices were opened at Kingslaud Junction a»d Mount .Albert, the benefits resulting from which have already been much uppre ciated. The ouly disadvantage to the Eden Terrace residents beiug that they cannot register letters as hitherto, in their own district, but on the other hand, their otters and papers art; delivered at their doors, and they can post and buy stamps at the old sites. Now, sir, some people are selfish and waut every advantage, irrespec tive of cost, and storekeepers do not like to divide proiils (acquired by beinft post-mas tera us well) with thair rivals in business. Benin lies the secret of the agitation, but I have no doubt the petition scut in has becu carefully considered, uud the chief post master has studied the iuterests of the several districts convcnieuccd iv the action taken by him. As regards the Kdouvale office, it is but fair to remember it waa granted on a petition from tho dis trict, and if vow not fouud suitable, will no doubt bo removed to a more convenient locality."

THE LATE FIRE AT HAMILTON.

A runi.ic meeting was held at Gwynne'a Hamilton Hotel, on Saturday at 3 p.m., to take iuto consideration the case of Messrs Swaiin and Cochraue, sufferers by the late incendiary lire. Mr Wm. Cuminiug was voted to the chair. The following resolu tions were proposed aud can ioJ unanimously. Proposed by Mr K. Hill, seconded by Dr Beale, tbat " In tho opiuiou of this meeting the sympathy of the inhabitants of the dittlict with Messrs Swan and Cochrane, in their late heavy losses, should take the form of assisting them to replace the build ing, recently maliciously destroyed, and that a subscription list be now opened for that purpose." Services in the shape of labour of carting will be tliaukfully received towards carrjing out the above object. Proposed by Mr McLennon, ;scconded by Mr Wm. L. O'Neill, that " This meeting is of opinion that the late lire at Messrs Rw»n and Cochrane's did not occur by accident, and that the Insurance Compsnlos should be called upon to offer a reward of £200, or as much as is subscribed, to any party or parties who will give infor mation sufficient to convict the offender or offenders." In connection with this S'jvcra gentlemen resident iv the district bay already aubscriVed large sums towards th reward fund, and the companies are asked to subsidise up to £200. Proposed by Mr Knox, seconded by MrGwynne, " That the following gontlcmen be a committee with power to add :—Messrs Hume, Laishlcy, Hill, Cummlng, McLennon, Moses, Gwynnc, Small, McDonald, and Vialou." Proposed by Mr McDonald, seconded by Mr O'Neill, "That the Government be communicated with through our members, and asked to offer a icward for the apprehension of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the late outrage." Proposed by Mr Sandes, secon ded by Mr McDonald, "That the local agents be requested to forward the resolu tions of this meeting to their respective comp»nies, asking them to take action in the matter of subscribing towards a reward fund. Another meeting was subsequently held, at which the Mayor brought forward correspondence between the Totrn Clerk and various Insurance Companies having for its object the obtaining of a fire engine for Hamilton at the expense of the com panies. Kesolutions to this effect were passed, and several gentlemen present put down their names as willing to become members of the projected brigade.

Industrial Home Inquiry.

(Yesterday.)

The following evidence, taken yesterday, was crowded out of our last i»3ue : —

Magistrates had nevercommittedwhat tech nically were termed convicted children to the Home ; but in many cases children were sent thither who iv the absence of such an institu tion would have received legal punishment. Several iii3tuuc«s were given. On two occa sions boys who had suit'ered short terms of imprisonment, had, at the request of the police authorities, boon allowed to come iuto the Home for a day or two, while ar rangements were being made to forward them on to their own districts. These,how over, were uot bud cases. In two other cases, boys had runaway from tho Home, committed theft, been convicted and inipiisoued, and afterwards returned to the Home in order to complete their original term of commit ment. Those latter lads now occupied res pectable positions. As a rule, the boys and Kirls who hud becu committed wheu they might have been convicted had <;ive!i leis trouble in the school, and turned out better after leaviuy than the average of those who had been ad mitted at the request of their parents as being bujond their control. About one third of the children who had lwft the Home had returned to their parents, cifjht boya had boen transferred to tho Naval Training School, eight girls to St. Mary's Orphanage, and nine f^irls to tho Thames Orphanage, while a number of girls, not committed but admitted on the tho vote of the Committee, had after a due hipsu ot time bcin/f sent out to leivico. They had au average of 35 or 40 boys und K'r's ou' at service, whom they had boon _)liioeil by the authority of the management of the Home. Oftentimes when tho period of commitment had expired, children had been claimed by their pareuts, iv many cases against the children's will and to their detriment. Whou a child was placed out at serrice the employer was required to sifjn an agree ment providing for quarterly reports of its conduct, etc., and getting leavo for it to visit the home at least once in the year, which was usually the period of tho engagement. If both servant anil employer were mutually satUtied, the term might be ex tended conditionally upon an increase of wagC3 beiug given. Fifty-eight reports from employer* of girls w»re submitted, and 93 from employers of bays. These were all he had received since that parti cular form of report was adopted two years ago. They varied iv character from " very satisfactory" down to "very indifferent", but OU tho whole he belieTcd that they were just, inasmuch as they ngreed with tho ex pectations previously formed of the children. On the whole he thought it would ba found that good reports predominated. In some cists a child who had been reported for misconduct by one employer had, ou being removed to another situation, obtained good reports. lie thought the improvement thus referred to was generally due to a higher conception of duty on the part of the second employers, and he might add that when right-minded persons lud means of dealing individually with such children there was greater chance of success tluiu iv the Home, whore individual treatment was not so prac ticable. Before the form of report was adopted ho carried on a large correspon dence with the employers, which was not so uccessary now. [Ho handed in examples of letters from employers, aud also of letters which he was accustomed to receive from the children themselves] lie had frequent opportunities of seeing former inmates who lived near the town, for they very often vuited the Home, and he kneW that it would be considered a. great disgrace by them to be forbidden to come, ila lud also becu in the habit of making periodical visits to their places of service, and often at the invitation of tho employers he re-named iv their houses for a day or two. On such visits he had generally found both boys aud girls content and happy. Wlion children were goiug out to service, lie always instructed them tlut if they were dissatisfied thoy should not run away, but to first of all make their complaint to the employer, and if that had no cll'uct, then to sonic minister or the nearest neighbour. The Key. Mr Gittos at Kaipara, the Rev. Mr Wallace at \Vangaroi,and the Rev. Mr Brady in the Waikato, had particularly taken a great interest iv the children, and by their voluntary sorvices had saved tho Ilome much trouble aud expense. Speaking gcucrally, former inmates of the Home who had now pussed trom under its control and caro had turtied out well, but not so satii factorily as hecould have wished iv the case of the boyc. He womld, howerer, undertake to prepare a return o.i the subject. Ou the whole, the| girls, exespt whore thoy had been early taken back to improper homes had turned out better than the boys. At one time, the policy of the Home was to receive along with the other inmates girls of from 12 to 17 years of age who had been living iv hotincs of tbc worst kind, and this policy, though adopted with a charitabledesign, was a source of grf at trouble, and proved to be a serious mistake from tho edicts 'of which the Home had not yet recovered. He knew the prcscut feeling of former inmates of the Home, and he had every reason to believe that in the cases of nine-tenths of them — even tho very worst—that it w*s one of kindly interest in the Home and of affec tion aud regard for Mrs Stickley and him self. Several times his wife on her birth day had received valuable presents (valu able, considering the meaus of the donors) subscribed for by girls who hid passed from under tho control of the Home. He thought that iv tho case of little girls who were orphans and had no relatives or friends to interfere it would be better for these to be removed from tho Homo as early as possible, provided respectable people were found willing to adopt, but some supervision even then should be exercised over them. As far as the boys were concerned the necessity was not so great in their case, because at the Ilome they hud the advantages of a good education, and besides they wcro less likely to take harm there. He thought other girls should remain in the Home till they were iifteeu years of age—that was, girls who had becu committed to the Home. It took a year generally to get boys and girls ot this class out of bid habits and into habits of work. Boys, he considered, should be sent out at thirteen years, except those whom it was deemed expedient to retain, and to pay for their services. In his opinion it was practically a mistake to admit very young children to the Institu tion, because of the insufficiency of the accommodation and arrangements for tho purpose. There was no dietary scale or programme by which they worked. The matron had charge of the children's diet. He thought tho food of the children sufficient in quantity. The large majority of them were satisfied. Sometimes the elder boys made complaints of the cooking and food, but not of the quantity. Witness described the nature of the diet, tho dilliculty in securing variety in cooking, the insufficiency of the cooking arrangements, &c, as de scribed in former evidence. Even vow the cooking arrangements were not satisfactory. The stove nnd oven were unsuitable, lie had frequently called attention (o it, and money had beeu spent repairing it aud altering it, but want of money was the real reason why it was uot replaced. As a rule there was abundance of milk from the cows belonging to the institution; but sometimes there was a scarcity, especially in the begin ning of this year until the rain set in, when milk was so scarce they could not buy it. The quantity required wasabout six gallons a day. and it was always served to the children without bciug skimmed. His orders were distinct on that head. He had always forbidden the removal of the cream. At oue time, thinking that his family was u«iug more milk than was light from the common stock, ho bought a cow and kept it, and the Home had two-thirds of the milk from it. While he had the cow he sometimes sent presents of milk to sick neighbours, aud from his own milk, cream may have beeu sometimes taken. He had kept a horse on the premises, and for two or three months there was another there. It was not really on the premises that his horse and cow were ktpt. The land was no part of the property of the Home, and he had paid the rent himself.

THIS DAY.

The enquiry was resumed at ten o'clock. As there was another witness in waiting who could not conveniently attend on an other occasion, Mr Stickley's further exami nation was postponed. Emma Matthews then deposed that she resided at the Home, where hlic had lived with Mr and Mrs Sticklcy ever since she could remember. They were not relatives of hers, but they treated her as their own daughter. She was unaware whether or not her parents were living. She wan ac customed to call Mr and Mrs Stickley "uncle" and "aunt," respectively. About October, 1878, she visited the Thames, in

company with Mr Stickley and Kate Mc- Donald. They went to Mr Rcnshaw's house, wheieshe remained about six weeks, but Mr Stickley and Kate returned after the first week. She and Kate slept together in the servant's room every night throughout the week. During that holiday she was a great deal in the company of Mr Stickley. Her age was 15 years. Mr dtickley's evidence was then con tinued : The ground upon which the cows and the horse had beeu turned out to graze formed no part of the property attached to the Home. This land was unenclosed, and in one portion of it there stood a dilapidated cottage. At one time it was unoccapied as a residence, but rented by a number of young men, v»ho resorted there at night for dancing purposes, and attempts were made, uot without uuccess, to induce some of the girls from the Home to go there after dark. Iv order to prevent this he rented the house for two years, aud during that period he paid the rent himself, using the place as a play-house for the children. Afterwards the Cojimittee, with the sanction of the city authorities, fenced in that part of their property. At his request the Committee then paid rent for the cottaee and property as he had formerly dove. He had for a time ceased to hold the former and it was again resorted to by vagrants and improper characters. He did not think that tho Com mittee was aware of the fact-that ho paid rent for the place. Emma Matthews was a member of his tamily before the Homo wa3 established. There was not in his judgment a sufficient supply of vegetables all the year round. The gardener at certain seasons produced a good supply of cabbage, caulillowcr, celery, beaus, beet root, pai-mips, turnips aud onions. They bought their potatoes, tho grounds attached to ttie Homo not beinjj large enough, while tho nature of tho soil also was uu»uitable for tho growth of potatoes. They wcro likewise accustomed to buy green vegetables for the childreu, buch ;» pumpkins (large quantities), and onions and sometimes carrots. As a rule, they had been able to keep the children properly clad. The boys' clothing had always been under his own direct supervision, while all purchases in connection with the clothing hai always been made by a member of tlio Committee engaged in the trade. For a long time that member was tho late Mr Rattray, who had been succeeded by tho present Treasurer. Iv most cases, however, he was present at the selection of raw material aad ready . made articles. There had never been auy insufficiency in tho supply of clothiug of any description for the boys. He would lather that tho matron should answer whether or not the girls also were sufficiently clothed. From his owu observations, however, he had always thought tho girls insufficiently clothed. Ila hud always considered that the boys were better clothed than the girls. He had raprenentcd the matter to the matron, to individual members of the Ladies' Committee, and officially to tho Executive Committee. [At this stage tho witness handed iv a letter wbicli he had addressed to a member of the Ladies' Com mittee in April, 1871.] Iv that letter He referred to the delicieucy of clothiug ot the girls, and to the fuct that he had becu obliged to direct the attention of tho Executive Committee to it. He was speak ing of what had been the fact during a series of years. Tho Ladies' Committee had often been informed as ho had himself that it was necessary to be very economical in the use of the Society's money, and had not always understood as well as he did now that in cases of great urgency, it was generally poisible to get supplies from tho Executiva Committee. Besides, tho coustaut discharge of girls from the Home had made great demands upon tho stock of clothing, aud concequeutly rendered it difficult to keep up the Btock. Of the cast-oil' clothing of a useful char acter which had been sent to the Home tho greater proportion was designed for tho boys, aud this also was a reason for the disparity in the attire of the boya and girls. Since September last the supply of clothiug for tho girls had been unusually short. Ho spoke from observation as to their dresses ; as to their under-clothing he was dependent for information upon the statements of tho matron. Ho bad reason to believe and to warrant him iv paying officially—though not of his own knowledge—that in the earlier part of this year there were some of the girls who had not a change of clothing each.

The enquiry was proceeding when |we went to press.
