LAW PRACTITIONERS.

Sir George Grey's Law Practitioners' Bill •was read a second time and seemed to meet with hearty approval from all sides of the Hoase. The Premier entirely sympathises with it, and promised to support it. In introducing the Bill, sir George Grey said it was an effort to establish the rule observed in the United State?, where there were fifty millions of people speaking the aame language as ourselves, and where it had been found to work well. The Bill left it to the Judges to test the learning of the applicant fur admission. It was in a sense a charter of freedom to New Zealand. It would enable men from any calling to study for the law, devot ing their evenings to the Btudy. In that way many eminent lawyers had arisen in America, and even although many of those who studied did not succeed in pass ing, the study, would nevertheless, be bene ficial to them and to the community. By educating men a3 the Bill proposed the tra ditional trammels connected with conveyan cing would be broken through, and a more reasonable system adopted. Mr Hall sympathised in the object of the Bill and would be glad to see the motion carried, but it seemed to him that the Bill as framed left too wide a latitude to a single judge. If a man had a good knowledge of law there was no reason why he should not be allowed to practice. Examination was much more important than serving a certain number of years in an office, but too much latitude should not be given to a single judge as to the examination.

Sir G. Grey thanked the Premier for his remarks.

The Bill was read a second time. The motion for committal that day two weeks was carried.

After protests from Messrs Pyke, Reeves, and Dr. Wallis, the House adjourned at 8.65 for the Governor's ball.

LETTER FROM WANIMATE PLAINS.

PREKARING FOR A FEAST,

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]

The released priioners of tha Ngatiranui tribe are on a short visit to their tribal home?, and return to Parihaka previous to the meeting of the 17th iust. They were out Bhootins last week, and returned on Saturday with about 1,500 birds, hakai, tuis and pigeons. There were some hundred or more guns at work, and the ground travelled over is about 25 miles long. To-day they have left for the bush again, and return to-morrow, when the birds, and also a number of pigs, the Proceeds of the chase will be taken to ParihaKa.. , ■

PULLING DOWN FENCES. * As reported by telegram, the released prisoners on their way to homes pulled down part ot a fence which stopped their passage along the track they were tra versing. Since the arrest of these natives two years ago, the Waimate Plains have been sold and partially occupied by settlers, and as many of the sectional survey lines, and in consequence the fences of the settlers are run across the pld dray tracks, communication by such tracks is intercepted. Such was the case in the present instance, although a gate was placed in the fence by the owner, by which travellers could proceed on their road. One European who was pre sent .remonstrated with the natives and advised them to go through the gate, but they refused prefering to pull down the pakeha fence, which blocked the way along their tribal road. ■The gravel pit commenced on the old wheat-field, which was taken possession ot by the natives as reported by your corres pondent, has been abandoned by the con tractors, and as It was situated on the por tion of land set aside by Government for European occupation, the natives consider that they score another point in the game. Probably the Government intend to make a reserve for the natives on the wheat-field, or possibly they consider it a bad time for agitation when Parliament is sitting, and the Colonial Treasurer protesting that our relations with the notives is improved. Time will show if this latter is the case. : DISTRIBUTING ORNAMENTS. .

A feaat was given at Parihaka last week, when the natives dispersed on a visit to their homes, but the distribution of the greenstone ornament?, the proceeds of ; the natives' industry and the Government's generosity whilst the former were in prison; is postponed until a large block of green- Btone, now being sawn in pieces at Parihaka, is finished. ' The crops lor the tribes "of TTganruanui, Taranaki, and Ngatiama will be planted at Parihaka thia year, and their tribal cultiva tions be partially abandoned. The confiscation of the land and the im prisonment of the natives has undoubtedly had the effect of consolidating the interests of the natives and knitting them together in a bond of unity under the leadership of To Whiti, as close as it is exceptional and nnußualin natiyo agitations.

NEWS FROM TAHITI.

[By the Schooner Sybil.]

Mb P. Thompson, supercargo of the schooner Sybil, which arrived from Tahiti this afternoon, has kindly furnished us with the following interesting items of news from the islands:

Shipping in Papeete was lively, and the beautiful harbour appeared quite gay there being no leas than' five French men ©'•war moored there, viz., the Admiral ship Triumph, Vire, Guichen, . Hussard, and Beaninanvir ~ also, the American maa ■o'-war Lookawanua; the latter had quite a short stay, only four days. On news reach-, iDg Tahiti that an American subject,; named Perthis, had been murdered ' at; Kaitea, she; took her departure for _the Island to make the necessary enquiries. From there she-goes to Samoa and Honolulu, thence to San Francisco. . .-. : The .London Missionary Society's barque; John ■Williams was., also: inport from Sydney,- and brought■ quite a1 quantity'- of goodß on freight for Papeete.': She was;ready"to sail for Earo tonga, but owing to light air»- and calms he had been detained for ten or twelve days, when she got. oat. • The Tarayoa, a smart little schooner of 75 tona register, the latest addition -to the French Government's fleet of gunboats, arrived from San Francisco. She was •built by Messrs Tamer and Chapman of !that city, and quits maintained that firm.s "reputation. The passage occupied twenty eight days. She was brought down by 'Captain McNiven, who's name should be familiar to many in New Zealand ; in connection with McMeckan's line from Melbourne to New Zealand: The.American brigantine Paloma and; schooner Staghound arrived from San Fran cisco both'with full -cargoes of general] merchandize and timber.

The schooner Apiaiu arrived from Sand wich Islands with a cargo of cattle, but ewiag to a report having been circulated that small pox was prevalent, when she Jeft she was ordered into quarantine^ and there remained some days previous to any of her cargo being landed. • There were quite a lot of small schooners ..in port from the Marquisas, Panmolos, and the neighbouring islands with produce. Business in Papeete was pretty lively, chiefly owing to the new tariff which was to come into force on the Ist July. Large stocks of all descriptions were beiDS built up, and manufacturers of local rum were pushing big lines into the market, anxious to quit some before the rise. There will bs but few cellars in Papeete but what will be well stocked before the Ist ,of July. The new duties on liquor, ales, etc., will be excessive, nearly 40 per cont advance on the old tariff. July will be quite a holday time in Tahiti, and consider able preparations were being made when we left.

The glorious 4th; the American citizens ;nre determined not to allow it, to pass un noticed. The 14th is the annual feast, which promises to-be a big thing.

SUPREME COURT.— Yesterday.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS,

{Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

ALLEGED LIBEL,

The hearing of evidence in the case ef J. D. Wickham, chareed with a libel upon W. U Rees, was finished before three o'clock yesterday. It was late in the afternoon before the addresses to the jary were over. His Honor summed up at »reat length. After explaining the law of libel and its various distinctions, he passed from the merely technical portion of his theme and said that the liberty of the Press ought to be a very dear and darling thing for every one of us, as it was really thejultimate protection of our liberties in all matters of public interest. But, on the other hand, if the Press went beyond the true liberty of endeavouring honestly and fairly to expose abuses and to discuss public wrongs, that would be no longer liberty but licence. If it went the length of discrediting and de faming private persons or non-public indi viduals without due cause, from malice, then the Press ought to be restrained. They would therefore remember on the one hand what was the real value of the liberty of the Press, and on the other what was the injury that might be done the persons, pros pects, and liberties of individuals by the license of the Press. After declining Mr Tyler's request to direct the jury to put such a construction upon the article as it was calculated to raise in the mind ot an ordi nary reader, His Honor concluded by s&y ing that the jury would ot course take into their consideration what an ordinary reader would gather from it, and also what was the intention of the writer, because it was the malicious intent which had to be proved. If there was no malicious intent, the words did not bear a malicious signification. They were the judges whether it necessarily bore a malicious mean ing or whether it bore on the face of it, taken in connection with other part 3of the article, evidence of being meant as a strong personal attack on public grounds in refer ence to Mr Rees' conduct on public matters. That was wholly for the jury to decide. There were in the article allegations of fact which were apparently false, but the jury would have to take the whole ot it into consideration, and say whether it was malir cious, or whether the writer had merely the intention of commenting severely upon things to which he objected. Mr Tyler : I submit that it is not fair to comment on false facts.

.'■iHisJEonor : As I have said, the main facts are admitted. There are sime facts alleged apparently false, but the intention of the writer must be gathered from the whole article.

The jury at 5 o'clock retired to consider the verdict, and at 6.15 returned into Court with a verdict of if Not guilty." <| The prisoner was accordingly discharged. Mr Browning' applied for costs. His Honor said he had nothing to do with such an application. The Court then adjourned,

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his neat upon the Bench at 10 o'clock.

LIBEL.—A FULL APOLOGY.

The criminal libel action, W. J. Hurst v. J. D. Wickham, having been called on,Mr E, Hesketh (who appeared in conjunction with Mr Tyler for the prose cution) said :—Before the indictment is road out and the prisoner called upon to plead, I have to inform your Honor that no other plea has been put in, and also to inform you that there is no intention on the part of the defence to put in any other plea than the one now before the Court. There is another matter, however, that the advisers of the defendant and the defendant hiuuclf have given consideration to. After what transpired yesterday morning they might not only find themselves unable to put in another plea, but that the statements con tained in the objectionable article were injurious as well as false. They were founded upon information which was quite untrue, and the defendaut therefore has tendered an apology. The apology I have in my hand. It is signed by the defendant, and I will ask your Honor to allow the prosecutor to accept of the same and to per mit it to be read out by the officer of the Conrt. The prosecutor in this case is ac tuated by only one desire—to clear himself from the imputations contained in the article to which I have referred. He was induced to take action by this desiac, and also by the knowledge that he miaht be provoked to commit a breach of the peace unless some protection were given him against such attacks in future. That being Mr' Hurst's motive, and this apology having Deen tende'reoT, he now asks your Honor to allow him to accept it andhave it read. He is satisfied that the object he has had in view will be gained, and the ends of justice be met by the defendant pleading guilty and apologising. The defendant will there fore, .. withdraw his plea, and then, 'if your Honor grants -it, the apology can be made and read out in open,: Court. Of course I see that a slight difficulty exists in the fact of the defendant having already pleaded; but I am not aware that that is any objection to the defendant being allowed on application to withdraw his plea.',". I feel considerably justified in asking sanction for this course, as the read ing of the apology must, I think,-remove any apprehension as to a breach of the peace, while the ends of justice ,will be satisfied with the 'warning which the action will convey to persons occupying- similar 'position.l! to the defendant that in their journalistic duties they must keep within proper bounds. His Honor said that be saw considerable difficulty in the way of allowing the prisoner to withdraw his plea as the prosecution then lapsed. It .seemed to him that the only course was to withdraw the plea of " Not Guilty," and substitute a :plea of .'.'.Guilty, "tendering the apology in mitiga tion of the oti'ence That waa the only way in which the public would be protected. Juries mui>t be paid and the public should •not he put to the expense of a private pro secution. A nominal fine of say £7'or'£lo could be inflicted to cover the expenses. Mr Hesketh remarked that in his apology the defendant sought to make some repar ation to Mr Hurst for the expenses he had been put to. ' ' His Honor said.that the expenses of the jurors in waiting had also to be paid,and he saw no other way of preventing the liability from falling upon the public; than in that which he had just stated.-

Mr'Whitaker : I will undertake to pay the expenses of the jurors. Would that not suffice, your Honor 2 His Honor : The indictment found by the Grand Jury must be dealt with. The prisoner must either be acquitted or found guilty. Mr Whitaker reminded the Court that the prosecution was a private one. His Honor replied that although a private prosecution, it was for the public benefit. There must be a verdict, for the prisoner had been arraigned and had pleader!. Mr Whitaker, on behalf of the defendant, then agreed to substitute a plea of guilty, and to accept a nominal fine. t The plea was altered accordingly, and the defendant took his station in the dock.

Mr Hesketh formally asked that sentence might not be passed on the defendant, upon the ground that ho had signed and presented to the prosecutor an apology in the follow ing words,;*— ~. : :.

Regina on the prosecution of William John Hurstj'againxt John Bickson Wickham for libel. To William John Hurst, Esq , Sir, —Finding that the several allegations and imputations contained in the article in the Auckland "Free Lance" of March 19th, 1881, and which are the subject matter, of the indictment herein, have no foundation in fact, and cannot be supported, I beg to express to you my sincere apology and regret for having published the same, and I now ask you to allow me to with draw all scandalous or injurious imputations or reflections which that article may either directly or indirectly cast upon you. This 1 ask, being satisfied that such imputations "and, reflections are utterly, fake and with out foundation, and the same ought not'to have been published. As to the future, I undertake' that no criticisms referrine; to your personal character or to any of the matters complained of in the leading article before mentioned, shall be directly or in directly published in the Auckland " Free Lance," so long as I am proprietor of the same; andlnowbegto offeryou herewith the sum of twenty pounds towards the costs and expenses which 1 regret I have put you to in this matter, and 1 also regret that I am not ia a position to increase the amount. — lam, sir, J.D. Wickham. j Auckland, July 14, 1881. Mr Hesketh went on to say | that the prosecutor was prepared to accept this apol ogy- He nad nowattained the object he had in view, viz., to put a stop to the attacks that were being made upon him and at the same time the public good would be secured. He had therefore to ask on the prosecutor's behalf that no substantial sentence should be passed. His Honor passed sentence as follows :— John Dickson Wickham—Having with drawn your plea of "Not Guilty" in this prosecution anil pleaded " Guilty," it is my duty to pass sentence upon yon. The apology which has been tendered by, you,

and accepted by the prosecutor, is a satis factory clearing of his character; but I think that it is necessary that you should receive sentence in order to vindicate the public as well as the prosecutor. The libel contained in the article cited by the indictment is certainly indefensible. It makes the gravest charges against the private character of the prosecutor, and had you persisted in your pl;a of "Not Guilty" oi in your attempted justification it would have renderad neces sary a very severe sentence. Public jour nalists must know that while great latitude is allowed them in the performance of public duties, they must perform them as public men having a due regard to their public character and not act upon or be swayed by merely personal consideration -without ample ground for doing so. In the present case as you have tendered this very ample apology the sen tence of the Court is that you be fined in the sum of Is.

As this finished the Criminal business the Court was adjourned till Monday at 10 a.m. when the first of the civil cases (which are three in number) will betaken. There is also a special jury case which has been fixed for Wednesday.'

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

QUAKENTINE ARRANGEMENTS.

At the meeting of the Chamber of Com merce this afternoon, Mr J. M. Clarke, (Mayor,) Chaiimau of the Local Board of Health, submitted the correspondence which had passed with the Colonial Secre tary re Quarentine .Regulations. The correspondence opened with (a tele gram from the Colonial Secretary asking the Board to reconsider their resign ations.pro mising to make regulations,forthwith giving the Local Board the status and power they now lack, and regretting the " insubordi nation of Mr Brophy.";.;-.:. :■ •' The reply sent by Mr Clark Chairman of the 'Board, assented to resume office on the assurance given by the Colonial Secretary, aud made a number of valuable suggestions as to the projected quarantine regulations, which may be thus epitomised:' 1. That the Local Board be empowered to release vessels (except under certain circumstances). *-2. That the Superintendent of Quarantine take his directions from them.-V ■■>;■&; 'Ihat proper provision 'be ■ made for' firjfcia'nd second class passengers at quarantine island. 4. That a smoke house be erected on the outer end of the vcbaif at Motuihi. 5. That the Local Board be empowered'to incur necessary expenses. 6. That vessels more than twelve days from an infected port should be boarded by the Health Officer in Eangitoto Channel instead of being taken Motuihi. 7. That the Chairman of i the Chamber of Commerce be substituted for the Harbour-master in the constitution of the Board of Health. ■'

Several gentlemen spoke very atronglv of the' '-very/, defective arrangements at the Quarantine Station. Mr J. M. Dargaville remarked on the unsuitable state of the buildings. It had been said they were only intended for immigrants, but he thought it Very wrong that people who come into the country without little or no money should have to put up with more incon venience than ordinary passengers who were better off. To be so treated gave a very poor opinion of the city, when it was moat desirable that their first im pression should bo favourable. He then referred to the decrease of Mr Henry Fancourt, and said he believed that his death was greatly accelerated by the in sufficient arrangements. He was astonished that no enquiry had been held in relation to the matter, for he was certain that it would have endorsed the statements made by the passengers, and have led to a change for the better.. Mr J. M. Clark pointed out that immigrants did not really require the same convenience as ordinary passengers. They, as a rule, carried their bedding, cooking. utensils, and table requirements, with them, while the latter generally were furnished with these things. The following motion was proposed by Mr Aickin, seconded, and carried unanimously :— " That the Chamber of Commerce endorse the recommendations made by His Worship t.he> iMay.or ' with reference to: quarantine regulations."
