INCENDIARISM AT ASH BURTON.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PKBES ASSOCIATION.)

ASHBURTON, this day. A great sensation was caused here this morning when it became known that a fire had occurred at Saunder's buildings, one of the largest blocks in tbe place, Mr Henry, photographer, who sleeps at his studio in the buildings, says he was arouaed at 4 a.m. by a strong smell of fire, and found the rooms full of smoke. He rushed along the corridor (full of donee smoke), and, turning1 up a passage at the other end, found the wall-panelling in a blaze. With _ a little trouble he managed to extinguish the flames. On the police investigating, they found splotches of kerosene all up the stairs and along the corridor, and kerosene was also traced down the street for 20 or 30 yards, where all trace ceased. The police are actively investigating the affair. '1 here Bcema little doubt that a deliberate attempt was made to burn down the block. The doors opening into the street are left un locked at night, and thus offered easy in gress to anybody. '

SUPREME COURT.- Civil Sittings.

THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Besey Long v. Joiin Vbrner, action for specific relief.—Mr £. Heskctk appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs lyler and' J. A. Tole for the. defen dant.—Mr Hesketb, iv opening the case to the jury, explained that the plaintiff was an old settler in the Waikato, and that amongst other possessions he had owned an acre of land at Kihikihi, which seven or eight years ago he agreed to sell to a working man named Franciscns Vandamme. This person paid for the allotment, although no conveyance was ever made out nor deed given, but he remained in possession of it, letting it to different people and receiving rents from the date of the purchase. Quite recently (on a Saturday)' Vandamme agreed to sell the acre to a man named Tanner. ( They acordingly went to the office, of Mr Gresham (a solicitor), wherei, Vahdamuie entered into a contract to sell the land,-.and received £5 deposit. After the document had been sighed,' the part ies adjourned to a neighbouring hotel in order to " wet the acre," as they phrased it. While they were there, and just when they . were about to pledge each other in the, liquor, a local storekeeper Darned Corboy' came in and applied to vandamme to sell his acre. Vandamme at once told him that he could not do it as he had just disposed of it to Tanner. Corboy after some further talk tried to persuade Vandamme to mount his (Corboy's) horse and ride off and discuss the matter' with Mrs Corboy, who, it seemed, transacted all her husband's busi ness. Vandamme declinedtodoso,sayingtbat no good could be done by it as he had already gold the land and received a deposit. So the matter remained. Major Jackson found the purchase money for Tanner on consideration of the sale being made in his name. Corboy, who was acting for a man named Verner) subsequently obtained an engrossment of a deed of sale from Vandamme to . Verner, and taking it to Sir Long, with whom he was on terms of close intimacy, asked him to sign it. Mr Long enquired if Vandamme was a consent-' ing party, and, having been assured that he was, he read the deed through and then signed it. On the following morning he learned for the first time of the sale by Vandamme to Major Jackson for Tancer. In consequence. of a conversation he had with Mrs Corboy, Major Jackson did not complete the purchase. Subsequently he remonstrated with the lady and her hus band upon their action in buying over his bead; and proposed that the matter should be referred to arbitration. This, however, they declined, saying that as they had pos session of the land they intended to hold it. It-was riot disputed that Long was, the original owner of the acre, and that he afterwards gold it to Vandamme.and neither was it disputed that Corboy made certain representations to Long, and that, relying upon these representations as being true, the latter signed the deed of convey ance to Verner. Nor was it disputed that ths plaintiff had not received the sum of £30 as consideration, nor any part thereof, and that Vandamme did not sell the land or desire that it should be conveyed to Verner. ■ It was also admitted' tbat Van damni called upon Long to execute the deed to him in order that he might complete the sale to Tanner, and that lie was-unable to do co in consequence of having signed the deed to Verner.,. It was disputed, however, that it was as agent for Vernor that Corboy made the representations alleged, and it waß denied that, those representations al leged to, either fake or fraudulent, were made at all. The issues submitted for the determination of the jury were therefore as follow/: —(1) Was the said Wm. Corboy, in the declaration mentioned, the agent of the defendant, as in the third paragraph of the declaration mentioned? (2) Did the said William Corboy make the represent tations alleged to hare been made by him in the third paragraph of the declaration mentioned ? (3) Were such representations false and fraudulent ? The third paragraph of the 'declaration referred to is as follows:— "-.That.oa.the fourth day of May, 1881, the defendant, through. his..agent, 'William Corboy, falsely and fraudulently repre sented to the plaintiff that the defendant had purchased the. said land -.from ./ the said; Fransiscus Vandamm,' and that the said Fransiscus Vandamm was.-willing and desirous that the plaint iff should convey the midland to the defendant.—Henry Long was the.first witness called. His evidence was substantially the same as Mr Hesketh had stated in his opening address. In answer-, to Mr Tyler he, also said that the . action bad really been brought to Major Jackson.—Mr Tyler was proceeding to cross-examine the witness with the object of shewing cham perty on the part of those who were acting with Long, but His Honor ruled it as inad missible under such issues as had been, given, the jury to. decide.— At the'request of Mr Tyler, Bis Honor took note of the point.—JFransiscus Vandamme, fi Belgian, carpenter, was then examined. His evidence was also in effect that stated by Mr Hesketh.- He further saidjthat Cor boy tried to •' persuade him to -sign a deed of conveyance fo '"- Verner, allowing him to "square" the matter with Major; Jackson, and that he (witness) re fused, saying thatas he had already signed and received £5 deposit, he would not sign the second time.—Corboy then Teplied ''If you do not sign, by h— you'll have me in Mount Eden gaol," Witness disclaimed any such . wish, - but at the same time firmly declined to sign. — Henry' Tanner, who purchased the land from Vandamme, was the next witness. He said that he had been delayed in completing the' purchase by want of the money. He wrote to the Building Society for a loan, but in consequence of his letter being mislaid, did not get a reply i for three weeks. In the. meantime, he induced Major Jackson to advance him the amount.—Major Wm, Jackson' also gave corroborative evidence touching .-the purchase of the property from Vaudamme on Tanner's account,

SATURDAY (CONCLUDED).

Defacing Coitr.— Samuel Keys was arraigned npon an indictment charging him with defac ing the. Queen's current coin.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.-Mr Hesketh appeared in defence, and addressed the Court for the prisoner, and submitted that it was no offence simply to impair current coin under the Coinage Act. He contended further that it was no offence to have silver solution on the premises obtained by impairing, but not with a felonious intent.— Mr Hesketh quoted from the opinions of Knuliak judges in similar esses, and submitted that do offence had Ireen committed.—Mr Williamson replied; Mr Hesketh's contention was a right one, and remarked upon the words "unlawful possession." The possession of the solution was sot unlawful, and the diminishing of the Queen's coin was only so when it was done with intent. To lighten coin by solution was not in itself a crime, bat only so - when there was an intent of deceiving the publio by passing such coin.—His Honor then put the matter before the jury, and shewed that there waa no evidence to shew that there was any evil intent in making the solution at the time, and the melting of the coin was not an offence in law; and unless they could see something more than Bis Honor conld, they would acquit the prisoner. The jury fonnd a verdict of not Ruilty. In the second indictment, charging the prisoner with attempting to pats light coin, the Crown withdrew the prosecution, and the prisoner was discharged- ■ ■■ This concluded the business on the Criminal C&lendar;

Lbiqh White, Auditors. Auck land, 7ih October, 183!, ' In rising to move the adoption of the re port and balance-sheet, the Chairman said be could not congratulate the shareholders im the statement presented to them, because it did not show profit to my extent. It was very satisfactory in all things except that it did not show a decrease of loss. The amount for fire and marine losses was the largest sum which they had ever paid It might be said that it was through reckless insurances, bnt he pointed out that with fire losses the largest single loss this half-year was £1,109. Their expenses compared very favour ably who those of some of the largest com panies. They amounted to 25 per cent., while in the Northern and other Companies the expenses shown in the last reports amounted to 29 per cent. Referring to premiums, the Chairman said that they showed a total increase of £9,000 in business daring the year. This was very satisfactory, considering the competition with which they had to contend. In Australia there bad been an extremely, strong competition in fire business, and in some parts of that country they had decided not to go into business, because the rates were so low that they would not prove remunerative. The unpaid "losses were only £600, and this showed that the losses were principally in the earlier part of the half-year. Since the half-year had closed, the losses had also been very small. The accounts owing by the Company were less, the balance at the agencies less, and other items less than at the end of the last half-year. They were aware that the general manager had been ibsent from New Zealand for some months. He went to San Francisco, and thence- pro ceeded through the United States. He had sent home reports, and the result of his trip • was that they had opened an agency business in Oregon. They would pot do anything else there till Mr John ston's return. From United States, he pro ceeded to London, and established a branch there. A cablegram received from him stated that he had obtained the services of the gentleman whom they desired to have appointed as manager there. He trusted that the opening of this agency in London would secure a large extension of their business. They might expect Mr Johnston to return about the end of Decem ber. Mr Learmonth, who had formerly been in their service on the West Coast, had been engaged to open a branch of the com pany at the Cape of Good Hope, but he had not yet arrived there. Messrs Stevens and Co. had also become their agents, at. Hongkong. Whether they lost or won, the directors were determined to continue in! one course, and that was progress. Hongkong was a large place, with considerable imports and exports, and he thought 'they might reasonably expect to do a large'business there. It was im possible that any insurance company could be safe:unless it were established on a broad basis, and they were endeavouring to place the South. British Company on a basis that would extend its business accordingly. He moved the adoption ot the report. i Mr Tame seconded. '.'.. .-.,.. Mr D. Goldie said the Chairman in speak ing of the expenses of companies gave them to understand that the Royal and .Northern amounted to about 29 per cent., and theirs to 26 _ per cent. He believed these were tbe'highest, and asked if the lowest could be given. . ' - . The Chairman said he could not supply the desired information, but instead of the companies named being the highest, they were comparatively low. In some companies the per centage of expenses was as high as 35 and 40 per cent, ' ■ ; Mr Lamb said he saw by the report that Mr Barstow intended to contest the vacant seat on the directorate, tie thought a busi ness man should be appointed. I . Mr: Boardman spoke at some length on several points connected with insurance company management. He referred to the fact that each report showed an increase of business, and a diminution of profits. One of the reasons for this was that the directors and manager were pushed on by the share holders' to accept business almost indis criminately with the view of increasing the profits. There was a desire to push business in country . districts, but from statistics which be had bad prepared, he found that the further they went into coun try districts, where there was no water supply, the less were their profits in propor | tion. He thought this country competition should be done away with, all the com panies amalgamate and appoint one good agent, and divide the profits. This plan might, he thought, be adopted with good results in foreign cities, j Tbe adoption of the report and balance sheet was then; agreed to. : Directors.— Mr Thomas Morrin was re elected a Director on the motion of tbe Chairman, seconded by Mr Lamb, — The vacant seat on the directorate was-filled up by the election or. Mr K. C. 'Barstow, who was nominated by Mr Edson and seconded by. Mr Goldie. , : ■ : THANKS, Votes of thanks were returned to the .Directors, officers and agents on the motion of Mr Hughes, and the Chairman and Mr Maxwell replied. . The Chairman having announced that the dividend would be payable in Auckland ' to-morrow, and at branches on receipt of advices, the meeting terminated. ; ■ • ■ - '

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE PRESS AND DR WALLIS.

(Te the Editor.)

' Sir,—For a piece of consummate oheek, the statement made by Dr WalUs at; his publio meeting on Friday, that the Auckland pacers misrepresented him, 50... ia, I think, without equal. It is like the devil finding fault with sin. My experience ot Dr Walltiriß that he excels in shuffling, equivocation, and pre varication. Don't do anything straight I asked htm at his previous meeting In the Temperance Hall if he desired to bo relieved from his pledge to the electors of City West. viz,: " That he wonld oppose the introduction of religious teaching In the present secular System offour national education.', Whaljdid ha do ? Just shuffled out of a direct yes or no. and rushed off into a statement that ho could not understand how it was that people had got a notion Into their heads that he was opposed to education, and claimed to be the originator of the present system. But big actions in the House shew us what he is pre pared to do In the way ot the introduction of the Bible and religious teaching i depend upon it he would vote for it. The doctor bad bettor seek another occupation, for as a preacher and polit ician he is a failure—as a down In a circus ho might sacced. He prates about being nursed in the lap of democracy, and supports property and leasehold voting qualifications — a very spurious democracy, doctor ;it won't do for City West, you will find.—Youra, &c O.

NOTES OF A VOYAGE TO NEW ZEA LAND IN THE SHIP ZEALANDIA.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The difficulties o( business in England durini; the past few years have been so great that many nave become alarmed, not a few haveboen driven to despair. The farmers' oropa failed, and few tradesmen could mnko both ends meet, whiles tho outlook of the future appears dark indeed ; many have taken their families to distant lands, there to basin life afresh. On the 25th July last, my wife and I and four sons embarked on board the ship Zealandia at the East India Docks, London, bound for Auckland, N.Z. My wife's sister and her husband accompanied us. As we: sailed down tho Tflamea and the Knglish Channel oar boys were in the highest spirits and fall of enthusiasm. My wife and I, however, wore miserable. The thoughts of leaving our native land perhaps for ever made ua very wretched, but our ship in going ahead; in a few days we pass out of sight of dear old England and get into the Bay of Biscay. A few weeks glide away and we get into the Tropics. The heat is very oppressive; in fact it is awful, especially at night. The hot sir came down over me like the blast from a fiery furnace. This lasted for two or three weeks. W» sail forward and gradually come into a cooler climate. When it rained It was a perfeot deluge. I never saw any thing like it before. We have 82 passengers and a crew of 10. Most of the passengers were siok the first month, but we keep moving onward, the sky above and the Bca below, the wild sea-birds following ua. Some times a shark: appeared at the ship's side, and then a shoal of porpoieesl >voud .come bounding over the big -waves, everybody rash on deck to see the sport, for they jump in a most extraordinary manner. The sailors try to catch one but fail. Then the rising and Betting sun is a wonderful sight. One evening a brilli ant meteor appeared before us, fifing through the civ and bursting into three parts; it seemed very near to ua when it disappeared below tho horizon. But we keep stoadily on and on day by day, and week after week; ire are 6,000 miles from Kngland. By. and by we round the Cane of Good Hope, but no chanca of viewing the land, for we are nearly 1,000 rnllw off the chore, and now "we learn that 10,000 miles lie between us and our native land. We have been two months on the ocean. Nothing has occurred to alarm us for our safety, but we have still five thousand miles to travel before we cam reach our destination. It is Saturday evening. We are on the Great Southern Ocean; the wind has none down, the e»11s are flapping loosely; every thing is calm around us j people are preparing for Sunday; the tailors have set every stitch of canviw; our ship, looks majestic and noble. The albatross. Caps pigeon, and the stormy petrel are flying around. Suddenly the captain's voice is heard on the poop directing the cuief mate to have the main-royal clewed up, and then follow the mizonroynl, tho fore-royal ■ and the ' fljinK-jlb: 'THe 'sails were quickly shortened, darkness 80S in, the wind rose, and we had a rough night. The sea rolled heavily all next day, and at night things locked gloomr* - The wind freshened into a |gale: tbe waves dashed over the bulwarks and swept the decks, making sad havoc all around; smashing the eeoona-clasß cabin, filling it with two fees oC water, and the third-class with one foot. The women and ohildren screamed with terror. Very few will forget the misery of that night. About 5 o'clock the next morning the stem abated and every body began to repair the damage. Several pas sengers were ill all the voyago ; ono birth oc curred. , The Captain is an experienced man of, 70 years; the dootor is aged 22. The first and seoond mates, Mr Rolf and Mr Rennle, are fine Bailors. They have a kjadly smile and a cheory word for everybody. Whenever danger or risk appeared they were foremost, leading the men to duty. Mr Glen, the chief cook, and his mate' were at work dally from 1 a.m. till 8 p.m. They were very obliging and punctual. Our passengers came from all parts of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and consists of farmers, tradesmen, mechanics, and labourers. A highly nervous lady, with four daughters, would keep calling out at Bight, "Polly dear," "Jenny dear, are you afraid, are you alarmed,}' but Polly and her sla ter make no reply, as they are both fast asleep. The crew are a mixture from many nations. The boatswain, a Lincolnshire man, was taken ill ehortly after we started, and being afflicted with a very painful disease, some of his ship mates looked upon him with aversion. At length, my son Sam found him out, and was a great comfort to the poor fellow. Sam visited him in his bunk every day, took him little things to oat. sat by his bedside, read and talked to him, and left him books. Before leaving the ship he wrote word that my boy's kindneßs had been uuoha joy to him he never could forget It. The first night after leav ing Gravesend, I proposed that we should have a prayer meeting. All readily agreed, my sons brought out thoir| harmonium, distributed f ankey's Hymn Books, and after some hearty singing, I lead the 23rd Psalm, and besought my fellow travellers to pour out their hearts to our Heavenly Father, that he would bless and prosper our voyage. We had a very blessed and affecting meeting that night. The captain read the church service on Sunday mornings in the saloon, which was generally well filled. A lady played the piano Bometimes, and at others, my son officiated. In fine weatber, I held a gospel service on the main deck on Sunday afternoons. Messrs Clifton and T. B. Smith assisted with mnoh power and very blessed seasons. 1 also organised a Band of Hope, and taught the children to sing a number of hymns, including "Lead me to Jesus," "Dare to do Bight,'" Wonderful Words of Life," and " We're Marching to Zfon." I held a special service on the forecastle for the sailor?, and some children's services, besides some concerts, and thus we pass«d the day as we travelled on our way. The weather is beautifully fine. We are now in the New Zealand spring time. We have been over thirteen weeks at sea. A kind Providence has watched over us during this long voyage. We are tally expect ing to land every day. Fourteen weekß, all but one day, has come.—Friday, September 30th.— Our ship is moored alongside the landing stage, and once more we meet for praise and prayer. Oh! how each heart is melted, while wo sing "Theresa beautiful lana. on high," and how earnestly we commended each other to the care and keeping of our Heavenly Father. Strong men wept like children, and women sobbed aloud, as we bid each other adieu. The first friendly hand that met us from the shore, was Mrßraokenrig.from the Young Men's Christian Association. He gave us a cordial welcome and bid m be of good cheer, and earnestly pressed my sons, to vi3it him at his rooms. God bless him! The sun is shining brightly, as wo step on the shores of our newly adopted country. Men are hurrying in all directions. Carters are driving powerful horses and drays, laden with merchandise, and there is the appearance of a busy and thriving city. Thank God wo »re all in excellent health and spirits, and should any of our friends read this we shall be happy to re ceive a letter or newspaper or books from them, and we will send full particulars of our future proceedings in tha new country.
