THE MISSING ELECTION WRITS.

[by telegraph.—press association.]

WELLINGTON, this day. It is the writ for Waikonaiti that is missing, not the Rodney one.

The Rodney writ was received by the Clerk of Writs by mail this morning. The delay will be put right by Ordcr-in-Conncil, and tho irregularity in regard to the Waikouaiti writ will also be corrected in the same manner, but it is still doubtful whether the Act will enable the Governor in-Council to direct a return for Hokitika under the circumstances.

ON A LADY'S CARRIAGE.

Robert Schoficld was charged with a breach of the Kailway by-laws, by entering a railway carriage set apart for the accommo dation ot fernalesjttiul remaining in such car riage after being warned to leave the same, on the Anckland and Waikato Kailway, on the 17th December,

Defondant admitted having got on to the platform. Mr Pardy said the Offence lay in not Retting off the carriage when requested to do so by the railway official. George Elliott, guard on the Auckland Railway, deposed that ho was on tho front part of a tram in which there was a carriage especially set apart for ladies. Pope, tho porter, drew attention to the fact that Schoficld was at the door of the carriage with a large case. Witness went there, and found defendant in the pla;c indicated. He refused to go away, and witness removed him by force, and cave him into the custody of a porter while the train started. Defen dant said he wished to have it tested whether the railway authorities cduH set apart a second-class train for the exclusive use of ladies. The case which defen dant had at the door had been booked as a parcel and placed in the van as such. Schofield took it out of the van, and sat upon it at the door of the carriage. He was half in and half out,

His Worship said he was sorry he could not convict the defendant, because bis con duct all through was very bad. But it could not be held that he was inside the carriage when he was only on the platform, and he would therefore dismiss the case,

This concluded the business,

THE CHINESE FAN-TAN CASE.

DISPUTATION TO THE HON MR DlCtf.

(I>ER FSKSS ASSOCIATION!)

WELLINGTON, this day. A DEPUTATION headed by the Mayot waited on the Minister of Justice this morn. ing bringing under his notice the resolu tions (previousty telegraphed) passed at the public mcctiag relating to the imposition of a heavy fine on several Chinamen for playing fan-tan. A petition to His Excellency was also presented praying that the fine be re mitted. The deputation urged that tho defendants were strangers to the country, and wore not aware of our customs or laws, and further that they were not playing for gain. Mr Dick, in reply, said that the police had on several occasions warned the keeper of the house of the penalties he would incur if gambling was allowed to go on. However, he would be happy to forward the petition for His Excellency's favourable consideration. A report would be obtained from the Magistrates who convicted China men as to whether the fine was too severe, and tho case would then be fully con sidered. He mentioned that the fine having; been paid it would be rather difficult to have it refunded.

LATER FIJI NEWS.

(Per Schooner Winifred.)

Tub schooner Winifred, Captain Douglas, arrived in Suva from tho Mew Hebrides on thi! 26th ult., with a full compliment ot 74. recruits, and the Sea Breeze, Captain Wil- Hams, on the 30th with 82.

By proclamation in the "Fiji Royal Gazette," the boundiirios of the ports of Lcvuka and Suva arc defined for revenue purposes. The assessment of native taxa tion for the year 1882 is fixed at £20,000. By the arrival of the schooner Nlufou, we have later news from Samoa, from which we learn that matters aro generally very quiet in the Navigator Islands, and Malietoa's rule is unopposed by the old Tiiiinua and Faipule party, the German Government having announced through their Consul their intention to lend their assistance to the King in the event of any attempt to resume hostilities. In conse quence of the great fall in the price of copra, which is the principal staple of the group" business is dull, money scarce, and everything in a very depressed state.

The Murder of Mr H. A. Mair.— A Horrible Sight.

The following extract from the log of tbo schooner Isabella, Capt, Hawkiua, describes the murder of Mr 11. A, Mair, Government Labour Agent, and boat's crow at Santo : On the 3rd, fresh S.E. breeze and fine weather; 7 a.m., got under weigh and sailed over to Tauva, Santo, anchored under it, to the nor'ard; boats away, no success. NoV|4tn, recruited throe labour and procured about one ton yams. stb, re cruited thirteen men and two women. 6th, light east winds and fine weather; recruited this day 27 men, 7th, recruited two men ; 9th, one man; 9th, one manj 10th, thirteen men; and 11th, three men. This makes 80 recruits. Landed 13, uud on 12th, at 5.30 a.m., weighed anchor with a light breeze blowing off the land; 7 a.m., almost calm, and vessel drifting off shore ; 9.30, noticed fires—usual signal fires—on shore ; lowered only the starboard boat, as Mr Mair, Go vernment agent, said he only required one, although it is our usual custom to send two, one as covering boat. Until noon the boat was noticed working aloag shore, when it disappeared behind some rocks. The vessel was then abont five miles away, becalmed Kid drifting to the southard. At C p.m. Captain Hawkins, seeing no signs of the boat, became anxious, so deter mined to send the other boat, which wa3 done. On its nearing the shore, it being now dark, the boat was turned round, to back in stern foremost, as is the custom. A volley of musketry was fired at her. The boat then returned to the vessel, arriving there at 8 p.m. ■ Captain Hawkins now be came seriously anxious about the other boat, and seeing a fire some distance from the last place again despatched the remaining boat, at 9p. in., to the said firo with instrnctions to pnllalong theshore and endeavour to proem c some information from the natives as to the missing boat, but to ma.no unnecessary danger. Boats proceeded to opposite the Jirc and hailed the shore, when the fire was put out, and although the shore was re peatedly hailed, no answer was returned. At 11.30 p.m.,boat returned to ship, on which a light was kept burning all night. At 5 a.m. on the 13th, boat was sent on shore to prose cute the search after the missing boat, On tbe boat nearing .the shore, the place from which the boat was fired into last night, fire was again opened on her. Fulled along the shore to endeavour to get information of the boat and crew, met a boat from the schooner May Queen, of Queensland, who reported that two of the missing boat's crew bad that morning swam off to the May Queen, and were both severely wounded. The two boats then proceeded along the shore, landing and searching for the missing. On landing at the place where the Isabella's second beat had been fired at (twice), the missing boat was found hauled some distance into the bush; sho had been gutted, nothing in her. She was launched; natives wcro hovering about,but at a respectful distance; two oars were found in the bush on the opposite side of a small creek. The landing party then proceeded inland, leaving a man ia each boat, to keep them afloat and bo In readiness. The landing party then came to a village, which was searched, and some of the gear from the missing boat recovered. As the party only consisted of one white man and five natives, it was thought advisable not to go further into the bush, but return to the vessel and report what had been done and seen. On going down to the boats the head of Mr Mair, Government agent, was found amongst the rocks, frightfully tomahawked; it was cat off the body close up, no part of the neck being there. A stronger party was then formed, consisting of two boats from the May Queen, two from the Sur prise, and one from the Mavis; this party then landed, and in a village, further in the bush than the one visited before, parts of human body were found, consisting of 2 feet 1 hand, 1 thigh, a piece of chest and the heart and the liver; these had been scaldsd and ready for cooking; the feet and band bad been cut off close to the ankles and wrist. The nniaining oars were also recovered and the boats then returned to the May Queen. It was then decided to bury the portions of the human body recovered, as well as the head of Mr Mair, -which was done at 6 p.m. All the parts were put together in a box and covered with quick-lime. The burial service was read over the remains. The two snrvivors of this niastacre who swam on board the May Queen are two half castes, namely, Malaki and Jimmy, both boats' crew. They state that they saw the two white men killed (Mair, Government agent, and Hampshire, mate), also the two other boats' crew (Don Duani and Amoßl, also half-castes); the boat was attacked when about to leave the beach, having recruited three men. No offence was given the natives, they appeared friendly and had brought the men down themselves. Malaki had two severe tomahawk cuts on the head, ono being on the left side penetrating the skull; the blow must fortunately have heen a slanting one; it was quite three and a half inches long, the brain was not cut; the other wound was oa the forehead between the eyes, the flesh hung on the nose. Thena wounds were sewn up by the captain of the May Queen. The other survivor, Jimmy, had a knife cut on the forehead. These two state they got overboard and swam away. The shore natives saw them swimming and gave chase, but fortunately they were able to land and aide among the rocks, so that when the moon rose they swam to another place, lan lad, and hid themselves until it should be daylight, when they again took to the water, and, with the assistance of logs of wood, swam to the May Queen. They both state positively that they caw the two white men killed, as also the two other boat's crew; that Mr Mair de fended himself, shot one man with his re volver, but was |overpowered by numbers. Mr Hampshire was shot through the body and received a cut from a tomahawk in the side. He jumped overboard and en deavoured to swim away, was surrounded and hacked to pieces, as was also one of the boat's crew, Don Duani. Amosi was shot dead and fell overboard. All having been done that could be dpne, ao the natives had retired far back in the bush, it wonld have been impossible to have fiot at them. Cap tain Hawkins then deemed it his duty to at once return to Fiji, haviog no Government agent. ___—.

QUEEN OF BEAUTY EX TENDED G.M.C.

Tits annual meeting of the Queen of Beauty Extended Gold Mining Company was held tbis afternoon in the large room of the Insurance Buildings, Mr John McCabo (Chairman of Directors) presiding, 15 other shareholders were present. Ihe proceedings having been opened in the usual way the Secretory (Air Mac- Donnell read the annual report. It stated enter olio, that the drainage question bod now been solved, and the pumping ma chinery completed at great expense. Some dead work, such as the sinking of the shaft, remained to be done before profitable opera tions could be resumed, but probably a winze would at the same time be sunk on the gold, and finds bs thus got to meet working expenses. The mine now comprised an area of 70 acres, or 210 men's ground, and the direc tors were convinced that it was still unique on the Thames goldfields for its promises of permanenco and success. The balance* sheet showed that the receipts for the post year, inclusive of an over-draft of £1,381 16s 7d, amounted to £6,993 18s sd, and tbe expenditure to £6,985 4s 7d, leaving a bal ance in hand of £8 13s 10d.

DISTRICT SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINA TIONS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lt was evidently the intention of the Board of Education to add to tho trust worthiness of tlieir.scholarsliip examinations by withholding the names of candidates from the examiners of papers. But the examiner was inadvertent; the name had to bo robbed off the back ot the envelope containing each candidate's set of papers, and a recorded nnraber sub stituted; but in the composition paper each candidate had to write inside the name of the teacher of his or her school as part of the answer to a question. Thus the ' laudable object of the Board was frus trated, and the cost of official envelopes, to be addressed by hundreds inleadpencil only, might have been saved, It was the teacher's name that required to be with held, not so much the individual scholar's; though revealing the one often revealed the other. Justice.

(To the Editor.) Sir,-Seeing a letter iv the STAB, re scholarship t^kminntion papers, t wish to state that what" Taxpayer " said was quite true, The questions were badly pat, Many of them were unfair. In the Geo graphy paper, one of tbe questions eaid : "Name all tho rivers flowing into the sea between the Skaw and Cape Tarifa. " That is a European question, and for the geography we only have piaces of impor tance in Asia, North America, and the British colonies or possessions, We should not have European geography, and many of us could not do it, having learnt only the proper geography, —Yours truly, A Competitor.
