The ; gooih were completely concealed iv the | ground. I knew that the jars contained ; rum ; I was told about six gallons by the I prisoners. We removed the things and j placed them in a boat. When jwe reached Polkinghorne's house we } met him (the latter) and Adams I also in a boat. They pulled alongside of j us. Adams asked " Who's there." It was iat night. I said I had the grog, when he . replied that I should not take it until it \ was paid for. I said give me back £5 and I you can take it. He declined, and ; attempted to take the articles by force. Adam said if 1 did not pay hlra £5 before ! the following night he would lay an infor mation against me for smuggling. Polk inghorne also insisted upon having the grog | back. On the 29th May, I paid Adam the I remaining £5 in the presence of Bob Wilson. Adam, in conversation, charged Polking j house with being the cause of the trouble. ! To Mr Lusk: Adam told me the grog j came from Auckland. Three of us con sumed all that was in tbe jars and cases in [ about two months. He told me he bought j the grog, but not the name of the seller, j Mr Pardy said the police were simply } enquiring after another case aud dropped across this.

The prisoners were equally con cerned in the matter. Morton asked me to assist him in taking the grog away, about six or eight weeks alter the first conver sation. I went with him and found two boxes and two jars. To Mr Lusk : I asked the prisoners if the grog was smuggled, when one of them said it was not, Morris Kelly, hotel-keeper at the Wade, deposed to knowing the prisoners. Adams offered to sell me grog, tobacco, or cigars, about a fortnight ago. He quoted rum 14s, brandy 16s 6d.—l sold one of the jars now in Court to Polkinghorne about May, ISSO.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the Aucklaud Harbour Board was held this afternoou. Present: Messrs Conipton (in the chair), J. M. Clark, Waddell, Thomp son, Isaacs, C.-C. McMillan (Chairman Chamber of Commerce), W. C. Daldy, D. H. McKeuzie,Boylan, O. Mays, G. Aickeo. Fitzroy Dock.—Letter from Messrs G. E. Moiiarty and J. Bailing giving a return of largo vessels doclced iv Fitzroy Dock, Sydney, during the years IS7S, 1579, and ISSO. Nineteen mail steamers and three men'o war of an aggregate tonnage of SS.SS4 tons had beeu docked in 187 S. The number in 1579 had been twelve mail steamers, eight men-of-war, aod one private steamship, the agcregate tonnage being 47,291 tons. During ISSO nineteen mail steamers and three men-of-war had beeu docked, their aggregate tonnage amounting to 55.410 tons.—Agreed that the letter be acknowledged with thanks. Chairman of Chamber of Commerce. —The Secretary of the Chamber of Com merce wrote stating that Mr C. C. Mc- Millan had been elected Chairman of that body. Main Sewer,—The Town Clerk wrote stating that the extension of the main §ewer had been considered by the CityCoun cil v who had agreed that the matter should at once be brought under flic notice of the Government, with the view of the prayer ofj the petition being [acceded to by them.

Lease of Allotment.— The secretary of the Union Saw Moulding Sash and Door Company (Limited), requesting the Board to re-consider its decision not to lease the corner on allotment on Beach Road. The applicant gave as reasons the facts that at the time the company bought the allotments they understood that the lot adjoining No 27, was to hi retained as a reserve ; that the business of at present being carried ou by the occupier of the lot was objectionable and detrimental to the interests of the company ; and that they were willing to pay a larger rental than the present holder.—The letter was referred to the Works and Endowment Ccmmitteeon the motion of Mr W. C. Daldy.

PILOTAGI.—Mr J. H. Martin, master of the barque Avona, complained that hh vessel was unable to obtain the services of the pilot in entering the harbour, although he burned blue lights and signalled for one. His agent* had been charged £S 15s for pilotage fees; and as no assistance had been rendered him by the pilots, he asked for a refund of the amount.—A memo from the Chief Harbour Master ws.s appended. It statedthatthe pilots averred that no signals were made outside Bangitoto Beef on the night in questiou, nor could the look-out at the mast-head of the schooner make out any vessel in the offing before dark. He did not believe that any signals were made till the vessel was off the North Head.—Mr Isaacs thought an investigation should be made into the fact that no pilot had boarded the vessel. He was not in favour of making a refund. He moved, and Mr Thompson seconded, that the letter should be referred to the Works and Endowment Committee.— Agreed to. Dangerous Cliff.—Edward Bartley applied on behalf of Bendix Sheink, owner and occupier of lot 24, for permission to en close part of a dangerous cliff adjoining his property till the ground was required by the Board. —The application was granted. Electric Light.—Oppenheimer & Co. wrote, expressing surprise that the Board had deferred the consideration of the elec tric light question for the present. They had already obtained orders for electric lights from some private citizens. The cost of four Brush electric light lamps, instead of the ten gas lamps now in use on the wharf,would be £330, and one year's supply of carbon would cost £19 6s Sd. The esti mated outlay for six lamps was £378, and the cost of one year's supply of carbon, £36 10s. The water on the wharf could, be used as a motive power at very little expense.—lt was stated that the Board was awaiting a reply from another firm in refer ence to another and much cheaper appar atus. Beferred to the Works and Endow ment Committee. Fishing on the Wharf.— Letter from F. Williams, complaining that persons ■were allowed to fish from the wharf, while fishermen had to pay license fees, and were exposed to all kinds of weathers. Those who fished from the wharf had no expsnses to pay, and could undersell the legitimate fishermen. The letter was received, and allowed to lie on the table. Atkinson's Cement. —D. Atkinson forwarded half-a-hundredweight of cement, Which he tequested should be tested by the Engineer of the Board, He would be willing to supply it at £3 10s (in bags) per ton The result of tho test by tbe Govern ment District Engineer was appended, and gave an average tensible strain of 2071bs to the square inch, It was stated that the r_n<nueer was now testing the cement. The letter wsa referred to the Engineer to i report upon. Works and Endowment Committee. —The minutes of this Committee recom mend-(l) That this Committee having heard tha explanation of the Chief Har bour Master and Engineer in reference to recent causes of dispute between them are satisfied that public interests will suffer if their present relations continue, and would strongly urge that both officers be instructed to cultivate a better feeling towards one another, and show a spirit of cc operation in carrying out. the works of the Board.

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(Before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., R.M.)

John Cash v. Maurice Kelly, senr.— Claim £00.—Mr E. Cooper for plaintiff, and Mr S. Hesketh for defendant.—The parti culars ol: this case appeared in our last issue, but on the application of plaintiffs solicitor, judgment was reserved tor the considera tion of a point of law. —Mr Cooper addressed the Court at length in favour of plaintiff's claim, and said the question was " Did Kelly use common diligence in regard of the gum." He believed that defendant might have stopped Greenleaf trom taking the goods away, if he liked. —His Honor asked what was the contract, and what legal liabilities attach to such contract. — Mr S. Hesketh made some remarks, aud quoted Addison on similar cases, aud contended that defendant was not liable for tho amount claimed.—His Honor reviewed the chief features of the case, and felt there was no conspiracy between the parties to defraud Cash. There was nothing to show dishonesty. The gum was placed in the shed, aud anybody, it would appear, could get the key. The bags ot gum were not addressed ; the plaintiff had evidently sued the wrong persou ; but certainly there was something curious, perhaps suspicious, iv Gieenlcaf's conduct in selling gum wben he did not know who was the owner. The plaintill' was the sufferer; he had lost his gum ; and, in accordance with law, he must be nonsuited.—Costs £11.

Joseph Fulton v. Crawford Baillie.— Claim £65 ss.—Mr Lush, for plaintiff—Mr Samuel Hesketh, for defendant.— The evidence in this case was simply as follows : Joseph Fultou^plaintiff, deposed that he was a contractor and holder of laud at Henderson's Mill. He knew defendant, who resided ia the same district. Ou the 18th of April, last year, he engaged to buy a horse named Lofty, of defendant, for £25 ; a set of harness, £5 53, and special damage iv consequence of being deprived of his horse, £30. The agreement, according to plaintiff's statement, was to the effect that defendant consented toaeceptpayments by instalments at plaintiff's convenience, but this was denied by defendant.—The further hearing ot this ca .c was reserved until the conclusion of the following jury case.

Johnstone v. Smith.—Claim £100, damages.— Mr Theo. Cooper for plaintiff, and Mr Samuel Hesketh for defendant. (A jury of four wero cmpaunelled.)— Mr Cooper briefly narrated the circumstances of the claim. The plaintiff, by his next friend, was Bobert Whitson Johnstone, a lad of eleven, a Grammar School boy, and on the day in question the lad was returning from his studies when he was kicked by a racehorse named Tim Whiiller, belonging to Mr John Smith (draper), the defen dant, and had his arm broken. The lad had stopped to look at some boys playing at football at the same time, that Mr Smith's race-horses were rambling round the Barrack enclosure. The - ball bounding near "Tim Whiiller," and he being a horse of fiery disposition, was alarmed, backed, kicked out, and broke the lad's arm.—William Stockwell, surgeon and qualified medical practitioner in Auck land, attended the son of Mr Johnstone in Angust last. He had received a compound fracture of the arm. He attended the patient from the Ist of August until tho Ist of November. There is a mark of the injury, but the arm, he should think, is as strong as it ever will be.— To' His Honor : He has practically recovered from tbe injury, but at times he may suffer from tbe arm." The boy suffered consider able pain for a long time.—To the Fore man of the jury: It is very possible that he may suffer from it again, but being a youth, he may completely recover.—To Mr Hes keth : A broken limb causes a severe shock to tbe system.—George Johnstone, brewer, deposed that he ■ occupied a house on Barrack Hill. The plan of the Albert Park (produced) shews the position of the allotments and the limits of the recreation ground, Bobert Whitson Johnstone was his son, but he was not in Auckland at the time of the accident. Saw Mr Smith on his return. The day after the accident Mr Smith asked how the boy was, aud said he was sorry he had been injured, especially as he knew the boy was of a quiet disposition and unlike other boys, was not iv the habit of irritating his racers. Mr Smith has the reputation of keeping race - horses. He admitted that witness' sou was injured by the horse.—Mr S. Hesketh said he would admit that the horse that kicked the boy wan the property of Mr Smith ; but he was not pre Dared to admit that it was "Tim Whiiller." It might have been another horse.-Mr Johnstone: The boy was prevented from attending school during that session. Mr Smith had no further con versation with witness about the accident, and since he had taken steps in the matter Mr Smith had been silent. Had often seen Mr Smith's horses at liberty, capering along the road.—To Mr Hesketh: Had written to Mr Smith, and offered to settle th" matter for £50. He only wanted the ex penses, in fact, but Mr Smith would not come to terms, consequently he instructed Messrs Russell, Devore and Cooper to write a letter to Mr Smith.—His Honor said nothing had been said about medical ex pense.—Mr Johnstone said he had paid about £20, including £15 15s to Dr. Stock well, and expenses in chemicals, medicine, and attendance.—Bobert Whitson John stone, son of the last witness, gave au account of the accident, which occurred on the 25th of August of last year. He wa'> kicked on the left arm. He did not frighten the horse ; nor did he f .el the kick much at first, A boy named Holland saw the kick. Twopenuy Elliott was riding Tim Whifller. Knew the horse and Twopenny. Three horses wero going round and round. To Mr Hesketh : " Twopenny " had never warned him to. keep out of Tim's way. Was not aware that any other boys had been hurt. He was going towards the foot ball boys. The horse was going in the circle to the stable.—Heury Holland, aged 3, son of Mr J. Holland (Holland and Butler) went to the Grammar School. Saw Robert Johnstone kicked. Stopped to see Mr Smith's horses. The horse, Tim Whiil ler, ehied at the football and suddenly backed on Johnstone, kicking him on the arm. He could not get out of the way. Johnstone said he was not hurt, 'but found presently that he could not lift his arm. They were not in any way interfering with the horses.—Cross-examined by Mr S. Hes keth. . , , •Arthur McCormick,sonofMrMeCormick. solicitor, deposed to being in company with Robert W. Johnstone, and saw him kicked by Mr Smith's race-horse ; did nothing to the horse which was frightened by the foot ball.—Phillip A. Phillips, Town jClerk, deposed that the property formerly under the management of the City Commissioners, was transferred to the Town Council, with all rights and priyileges i £he reserve marked Albert Park was a part of the property under section 13 of tho local Acts'. Mr Smith bad conditional permission to exercise his horses on Barrack Hill, subject to the condition that he did not cause annoy ance to tho public or that there were no complaints. The privilege had been withdrawn in consequence of com plaints from Mr Johnstone and others.— This was plaintiff's case.—Mr S. Hesketh, in speaking in defence, considered that it was a pure and simple accident, and that there was really no cause to go to the jury, the defendant not being liable.—His Honor said that, assuming the horse was there un lawfully, the boy was kicked and nething had been shown that the boy did anything to cause the horse to kick. The sole ques tion was whether the horse was there law fully or unlawfully.—His Honor said tbat in his opinion Mr Smith was there unlawfully, and in this opinion he was supported by plaintiff's counsel.— Mr Hesketh addressed ■ the jury at some length and called evidence in defence.— John Smith, defendant, deposed to hearing of the accident in August last.—His Honor Washed to linow why Mr Stnith was called, as he wag not there and knew nothingl about the accident,—Mr" Hesketh said it; was for Mr Smith's satisfaction,—His' Honor said he wished the jury to have the satisfaction ot leaving the box.—Mr Smith i wished to contradict some of Johnstone's statements, He said he expressed sorrow on hearing of the boy's accident, and it Mr Johnstone had said he was hard up for £20, he would have given him that sum. He kept some half-a-dozen horses for bis own amusement; they were gentle aud his apprentice, •'Twopenny" could do as he liked with this very horse.—His Hpnpj- ex pressed bis surprise that a draper's apprentice was engaged in riding race horses instead of mpasuring calico,—Mr Smith, said tbe lad was apprenticed to a'. jockey, and' not to 'the drapery.— .(Left sitting.)

Darwinism is the oflahoot of »n unhealthy parent tree. Evolution is the oif&prlnf? of a strange and unnatural theory. Both ideas are repußiiant to our preconceived notions, and at war with the established principles of common asnse and credulity.

Mr Thomas Peacock, the President for the session, delivered a lengthy but ex ceedingly interesting address on the " Recent Developments ot Pliysical Science." Wo have, however, only apace at our disposal for a very brief abstract, The address commenced with a reference to the opening of the Society with very doubt ful prospects iv ISG7, and the wonderful progress made since then. The member ship was stated to have reached 305, which is the largest roll of auy of the affiliated societies. Much of the success was attributed to the fo.tering care, and even willing assistance, rendered by Professors Huttou and Kirk in the early years of its existence. Tho speaker considered that their aims embraced the cultivation ot science, art, literature, and philosophy, while their meetings afforded a congenial sphere where each votary could minister to the pleasure and ediiicatiou of his fellows. But granting that art, literature, and philosophy were wisely included in the aims of the Institute, and well deserving of attention and encouragement, science must naturally occupy a prominent place in their deliberations. During the present century alone it had received a development so enormous in its extent and so fruitful in its inllueuces on civilisation as to be un paralleled in the history ot mankind. So multitudinous were tbe facts observed, so numerous the generalisations formed, and so fertile the deductions made there from in suggesting fresh inquiries, that the subdivisions had become special studies. Division of labour had become essential to further progress. Never before had the sayings and doing 3of scientific men had so large an auditory, or received more en lightened attention. It was true that the bold theories and far-reaching generalisa tions which had beeu put forth in some departments had caused uneasiness and opposition on the part of many. He considered it vain to object to the indul gence in theory. Tho speaker tbeq pro ceeded to refer to the theory ot evolution. It must be admitted by candid minds'that the intense activity displayed in the field of biology wa? limited at two important points. On the one hand there waa the gap between the inorganic aud organic forms of matter, tbe production of that protoplasm which was the basis of all liviug bodies, with its won derful potential qualities. On the other hand, there was the impassable chasm which existed between organic matter and the pro foundly mystctious thinking part of man. The speaker theq referred to the two groups of scientific subjects, the New Zcalaud Institute had don? good work in every de partment of natural history, and no iucon siderable part had been done by the Auck land institute, while, thanks to the liber ality of members und citizens, led by the spirited example of one of their leadiug members (he alluded to Mr Justice Gillies), their valuable specimens had received worthy shelter in this excellent building. By the system of exchanges, too, they had been enabled to confer a favour upon European and American museums, receiving iv return representative speci mens from various countries. The speaker then treated his subject under a variety of headings. Amongst the divisions treated were matter and force.atomic theory, molecular aggregation, effects of heat, energy convertible, matter in liquid state, and formation of fogs. He quoted from a paper read on this subject read by Mr Aitkeo before the Royal Society of Edinburgh, iv which the author made the following con clusions :—lst. That whenever water vapour condenses in the atmosphere, it al- Avays does so on some solid nucleus. 2. That dusjt particles iv the air form the nuclei on which the vapour condenses. $. That if thero was no dust, there would be no fogs, no clouds, no mists, and probably no Tain, and that the supersaturated air would convert every object on the surface of the earth into a condensor.onwhich it would deposit. 4. Our breath, when it becomes visible on a cold morning, and every puff of steam as it escapes into the air, show the impure and dusty c&ndition of our atmos phere. It having been shown that all forms of combustion, perfect and imperfect, are producers of fog nuclei, it is concluded that it is hopeless to expect that adopting more perfect iorms of combustion than those at present in use, will dimiuish the frequency, persistency, or density of town fogs. More perfect combustion will, however, remove the pea-sonp character from the fogs and make them purer and whiter, by preventing tbe smoke which at present mixes with thetown fogsand aggravates their character. Referring to the necessity for the prevention of smoke, the speaker said that a scheme had beed propounded by Mr Moncrief for rendering London and other cities practi cally smokgless. Dr Seimens, who has in vented a form of grate, by which almost perfect combustion takes place by means of eas and coke, and who was an authority on the Bubject, said :—",I hold that it is al most barbarous to use raw coal for tiny pur pose, and that the time will come when all our iuel will be separated into its two constituents before teaching our factories, and domestic hearths. Mr Peacock then proceeded to refer to the subjects of spectroscopic investigations, and faunie related to buo spots. Reference was also made to the experiments of Professor Mincban, and Dr Herr, in photo-electricity, ai(4 the progress of dynamo electricity was next touched upon, a great deal of infor mation was given in reference to the'eleptrlc light, electric furnaces, and electricity as a motive power, The constiuction of" tele phones, and '-heir modes of action, and the induction balance were explained ai; length, and the speaker then referred to the theories of Professor Hughe?, on the action of elec tricity on magnetic conductors. The photo phone, and musical photophone, next came under notice, and before leaving the subject the speaker briefly called attention to the development of the principle of the photo phone, by producing a photograph of a distaut object by electricity. In his con cluding remarks, Mr Ppacocjf sajd :: "■ Vast and comprehensive as is the knowledge , acquired in every branch of science, what is known is but an infinitesimal portion compared with what there is beyond, while much will ever remain inexplicable to the finite faculties of man. But in seeking earnestly and fearlessly to know the se quence of events, the relationship o:f things, and the mode of action of that all-pervading energy which it has pleased the Creator to ipjpart to tije ejcjstitjg univgrse, there is jip riepessary connection witli Atheistic prin ciples or Materialistic philosophy. On the contrary there may (as in the case of the late distinguished Profossor Clerk Max well) exist the most profound learning and scientific genius with Christian humility and enlightened reverence. Lot us over remember that in the field of natural science, apart from the ameliorating inllu ences tbat fall in its train, it is the pursiii and attainment of truth rather than its post sessieri which affords the keenest en joy ment,'- Mr Cheeseman read a paper on the " Exis tenqp fif fjjcldijn RloyeV iv Neyf. '_\enX_nd,'' the specimens exhibited having been shot by Mr E. A. Plumley at Manukau. A paper by Captain Brown on the " J.Jcvv Zea

land Carabidre" was also read _by Mr Cheeseman.—Mr Mackcchuie exhibited a new kind of insect, which covered his furze hedge. The branches were specked white with the insect- and their ovaries.—Dr. Purchas said this was an insect which he had already brought under the notice of the Institute as having destroyed his hedges of kangaroo acacia. It was described by Mr Maskell iv vol. 11 of the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute. The name of tiie insect is "Icerya Purchasi."—lt was stated by the President that some duplicates of books in the library were to be sold. A vote of thanks was passed to tho President for his address, aud tho meeting adjourned till July 11.

SI. JAMES'S IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

The announcement of "'Short Speeches on Tender Subjects," by members of St. James's Mutual Improvement Association, had the effect last night of attracting to the place of meeting a very large concourse of visitors, the sexe3 being about equally re presented. The vestry room was soon crowded to excess, and then,when not even standing room was available for those who were desirous of entering, an adjournment was made to St. James's Hall. Mr Theo. Cooper (chairman) presided; and after the transaction of some slight private business, he called upon Mr William Cooper to open the series of " tender subjects " with a speech on " Affinity." In response to the call, the latter gentleman informed the audience that each man or woman had somewhere his counterpart in the other sex—a being who had been especially created for him or her—that there was affinity between the two, and that perfect happiness could only be obtained in their union. He announced that he had been engaged for the past ten years, in the search for his affinity, and he fully ad mitted the possibility of her beiug a Maori wahine, an almond-eyed daughter of the Flowery Land, or perhaps an athletic negress iv Central Africa. Still these race distinctions were no real obstacles in the way of the aflinity-scckcr, and he was resolved to contiuuo his patient investiga tions although the chances of success had been ascertained by a statistician to be as one in a few millions. Mr A. C. Steele expatiated at great length upon the sub ject of love. After defining its character he proceeded to point out the outward effect which it had upon those under its influence. It caused, he said.a bewitching smile to radiate over the features ; it ren dered mellifluous the tones of the voice; it enkindled a great regard for personal appearance, making tho young man strive to be spruce and the young lady stylish; and it had its effect, too, upon the gait. The lover walked with a light, spriugv step, expanded chest, erect head, with Hashing eyes and genial expression of countenance. It was a beautiful subject, and he was sorry that the limit 3of time would not permit him to do it full justice. Mr Steele concluded with the recitation of some sentimental poetry. Mr H. S, F. Peltzer followed with a speech on "Flirta tion." After explaiuing that he had at the last moment consented to fill the breach occasioned by the absence of Mr P. Oliphant, the speaker went on to say that he had only a very slight acquaintance with flirtation. At the outset of his career he had fallen madly in love with an unknown beauty, aud as a means of pro curing an introduction to her, he adopted the romantic method of serenading her at night. In the midst of his musical performance a night-capped head appeared at the window above, and a small paper parcel was dropped at his feet. He hastily unrolled it, and found it to contain only a few coppers. Driven to desperation, ho thought of blowing out his brains, but the reflection that possibly he had no brains to blow out preserved him from self-destruc tion. The gentleman then proceeded to inveigh against the conduct of young men who flirted with girls without the remotest intention of marrying them, pointing out, as he did so, that it was an injustice to the girls in question, as other young men, in tent upon marriage, were thus deterred from paying their addresses, Mr E. W, Burton opened up the subject of "Betrothal" by earnestly protesting to an incredulous audience that he had no experimental knowledge of it. He was opposed to long engagements, and also to the ancient practice of be throthal by proxy. The young people about to be engaged ought to have the fullest opportunities for ascertaining what compatibility of temper, taste and disposi tion there was between them, for in these things there should be agreement as well as in age and physique. He concluded by exhorting bis bachelor friends to be chary of selecting a partner in a large family of sisters, as during the period of courtship he would be unable to take hia inamorata to a soiree, concert or ball or even to church, without extonding similar favours to " the whole tribe." Mr W. J. Napier prefaced his remarks upon " Matrimony " by a state ment of the various aspects under which it might be regarded, viz , the theological political, social, and legal, etc. He then went on to give the audience the benefit of some archaeological lore which ho had picked up on the subject, and from this stage he proceeded to unfold a theory of bis own. Seeing, he said, that the world was in danger of being over-populated through inability to produce more than a limited supply of food, he conceived it would be an example of the most heroic self-abnegation for the bachelors of the more enlightened and Christian countries to remain celibates all their lives so as to lessen as much as possible the misery and wretched ness wrought in the world by a redundancy of human life. With that self-denying object in view, and with regard simply to the happiness of the race, he intended to live and die a bacholor—and his resolve was not to be shaken. Matrimony was a luxury, and ho thought that those who had recourse to it should in coipmon fqirpess ..ear a tax to ho lpvied \.y the authorities of the State iv which they live. The speeches were then criticised in turn by Messrs W. Brigham, A. Alderman. A. J. Entrican, W. Eady, J. M. Geddis, W. J. Geddis, G. R. McNab, and Thep. Cooper, and then, as the hour was advanced the other members present relin quished their tight to speak, upon which the qpeners briefly repliod. A lecture by Mr Cooper is the business for next Monday evening.
