motion had only been brought forward to amnee the House, but he hoped the Govern ment would see that they could not shirk the question of Local Government much longer. . Mr Shephard then moved the " previous question." The Premier agreed to this proposal as he preferred not to take a division on the motion at all. He admitted there was a great deal of fairness in the motion, but said there were insuperable difficulties in the way of carrying it out. Sir George Grey said he was surprised that the Premier should state that it would be inconvenient for some member to be required to vote on this question. Ac cording to him, there was a great deol to be said in favour of. the motion, but yet it would be inconvenient to go to a vote upon it. The mover, who was an ardent follower of the the Government, had said there was no difficulty in giving effot to the wishes of the House, if tho Premier choose to act, but the Premier did not choose to act How long, he wanted to know, was the time of the House to be wasted, as was the ca. c last session, by things being brought forward to amuse a debating society; and yet when this im portant motion was brought to do justice to the whole colony no vote was to be taken upon it. The Government touched everything with a trembling hand. There was nothing of boldness, decision or de termination shown in anything they brought forward. Let the Premier recommend some course for the House to pursue, and let him not pray that with God's blessing our institutions might remain unaltered and unchanged. (Laughter). The division was shortly afterwards taken on Mr Shepherd's amendment, which the Government voted for, but which was lost by 40 to 25. Then the motion was put, and the Government were again defeated, the division last standing : Ayes 35, and noes 31. The announcement of the division was read with general cheers from the left of the Speaker. The following was the division list on the original motion:—Ayes 35; noes, 31, Ayest Messrs Allwright, Andrews, Balance, Barron, Bastings, Colbeck, DeLautour, Finn, J. B. Fisher (Buller), J. T.

SURVEYORS' INSTITUTE,

Mr Tole moved the second reading of the Surveyors' Institute Bill, briefly explaining It.

i Mr ROLLESTON said the Bill was not one fcthat would recommend itself to the public generally. At the same time the Govern -1 ment recognised the fact that tiere > should be a proper board of ex aminers of surveyors instead of its being left entirely to Chief Surveyors, not because he thought any injustice had. been done, but because a suspicion of it was - possible. At the same time, as the Govern | ment was responsible for surveys under the - Land Transfer Act, it must retain control over the admission of surveyors to perform work under the Act. Mr Kbllby and Mr Richardson spoke [ against tbe (Bill. Tho motion for the second reading was pat and carried. HARBOURS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The House went into committee on the Act Amendment Bill. " The following was adopted as a new I clause by Mr ALLW RIGHT : " Notwith -1 standing anything contained in any Act of the General Assembly, all buildings used , ..as offices by any Harbour Board, and the "land whereon such building may be erected, I; shall be liable to be rated by the City ';.,Council or other local body ot the'district Within which it is situated."

PUSHING ON THE IRISH LAND * BILL. LONDON, June 28. In the House of Commons to-day, the Ri<»ht Hon. W. E. Gladstone announced that on account of the alow progress that had hitherto been made with tbe Irish Land Bill, and the oppostion that had been offered to the passage of tbe various clauses in committee, the Government would be compelled to ask the House for further facilities for the dispatch of business. Therefore he moved that the Bill be accorded absolute precedence upon the Order paper. The motion, after some debate, was adopted. The Premier subse quently stated that the Government hoped that the business of the session would be. sufficiently advanced by the commence ment of August to allow prorogation to take place at that date.

THE ROYAL PRINCES.

PROPOSED PUBLIC RECEPTION.

Ptrust. ANT to the advertised invitation ot His Worship'th'e'Mayor, a large assemblage of leading .citizens took place late yesterday afternoon in the large room of the Insurance' Buildings, for the purpose of devising some arrangements for the fitting reception of, the Royal Princes on their arrival from Australia,' Amongst the gentlemen present were representatives of all the public bodies and of almost every' commercial firm of standing in the place;' The Mayor, who presided, opened the. meeting with in explanatory speech. He thought, in the .first place, that it was un necessary to take- up any .time in; shewing the" des.rability.iof the people' doing their be .t to entertain and houour their future King and his royal brother,'as well as the Admiral and officers of the Squadron. He felt sure that everyone would feel,that that was essential both.as a matter of right feelifa'g 'and also for our credit's sake. His Worship then proceeded to indicated what, in his opinion, ought to be imme diately done, this being the result of con versations which he had had with various gentlemen.upon the sublet »In doing so he Said "that Of course as the' movements of the Squadron were not fixed with any great degree of certainty, it was quite possible that something, might occur to prevent the carrying-out of the • intended visit to New Zealand, but that contingency was by no means a valid excuse for deferring their ar rangements till the laat |moment,... One of the. suggested forms of entertainment was a ball,/and if that were to be approved all the time at theii disposal would be required;in .adequately providing, for it. : The.work Was- pfi .a preliminary character,1 ,and: a Committee would therefore, have ,to ; be appointed, so thatj if ■ the fleet did hot after all visit Auckland the matter could.be dropped without much inconveni ence.' Hia idea then that at that, meeting two committees should be appointed—one of which might be called the reception-com mittee, although it did not seem to be con venient, '_ as a matter of form, owing to the position tha.Pr inces - occupy in. the ; fleet, .to offer them any formal or ceremonial wel come. Still the committee might be. called simply the '. reception "■ committee..- T.h.en tiere _ might be a sort ..of official I reception by the public bodies—the. City ; Counoil, the , Harbour Board, .the, suburban cor porations, and Highway Boards—which could present, their welcome, in,the, .man ner most befitting,, sfloh-an,,, occasion. If aball committee were.appoiuted,it would be tie" dirty'of'the "reception".; committee .to undertake any and every,arrangement that might be deemed.advisably putsidejof tie preparations for *the ball. ..Qne-duty would be to raise suhicriptions, .or ;a guarantee fund for the purpose, of defraying any expenses'that .the committee might be. put to, so as "to makeup any deficiency that might eventually arise. He believed thoroughly, that there was no use of doing anything at all unless we were prepared to do it well. , The Committee in making their arrangements should not be tied down to, a fixed sum. They should . have i reason to know that they were not limited ,to £20, £30, or £40,: and forthat purpose they should be, enabled to start at onte.witb, a* guarantee.* The names of subscribers,' with the [amount each was prepared to guarantee, should be, taken down, so that any deficiency beyond what was received for ball; tickets could be.met when the account was finally made up. „•. Tho sub scription should not be less in amount than (say) ■ £250,' and the names for that amount'should be''tho' names of persons to be relied upon, so that the'committee might put their hands on th'e;money when it was required. He therefore; moved,. "That in tie opinion 'of this meeting it as desirable that steps should be taken byibe citizens of Auckland and neighbourhood to givea fitting reception and entertainment to their Royal Highnesses, the Admiral, and officers of the detached squadron, who are shortly. expected to visit this port and CI Mr Thomas Peacock in {seconding the motion considered that there could be no, difference ,of opinion ob to, its. m nriety. He thought it would be desirable to consider various forms of entertainment which might'be offend to their Royal Highnesses. If they could be taken into thetoterior, so as,to see the natives in any considerable number, it would be gratifying to thero as well as to the natives;'andit would be acceptable also if they cou d be shown the Lake country. He would like to, see the matter carried out so thatrtge yonng Princes would take away with them a hist, ing K««embrancef of//their Visit to this % m Macffarlane that it bad been suggested to him that, th? Government WM Vfm to take the initiative m, the matter,'and, that therefore they jmßftP e?peqted. : to.contribute towards, tlie,ex f MrMcMiHan, -Mr Larkins, an^ the Chairman,: were opposed to any Govern, mentSd being solicited. Auckland they SS enough able to give loyal and flSg reception to the young Princes with out any assistance from the Government All that was wanted would be raifed and done by voluntary efforts. mr The Chairman further -Bald that Mr Peacock's were matters of detail and might be considered along with the proposals for a meeting of the Hun? Club; some deer shooting atMotutapu ; and a race «««* , All those things might be kept in mind not withstanding that, if the young Princes would remain "only five days :lt wouldbo scarcely possible to carry them

out. He moved, " That a reception com mittee be appointed to consist of the Mayor and Councillors of theßorough of Auckland, the mayors of Parnell and Onehunga, the chairmen aud members of the Harbour Board, and the suburban highway districts, &c, &c,

Mr Peacock thought one active com mittee would serve the object iv view more efficiently. What was wanted was unity and action.

Mr Cosgrave moved that tbe gentlemen present be appointed a reception committee, with power to add to their number. After some discussion both propositions were withdrawn

Committee.—On the motion of Mr McMillan, seconded by Mr John Hay, the meeting proceeded to form a - committee, and the following names were proposed -.—The Mayor and Councillors of the City of Auckland, the Town Clerk, the Chairman, Secretary and members of tbe Harbour Board, aud Chamber of Commerce, the Mayors of Parnell and Onehunga, the Chairmen of the suburban Highway Boards for thedißtricts of Ponsonby, Karangahape, Grafton Road, Devonport, Newton, Eden Terrace, Newmarket, and Remuera,; the Foreign Consuls, Justice GiUies, Judge' Fenton, Judge McDonald, Bishop Cowie, Rev.

The plaintiff is a sailor or fisierman, who is in the habit,of supply ing oysters to various restaurant keepers in Auckland. In pursuance 'of certain, ar rangements he sent a carter with 6 bags of oysters to Kubie's oyster saloon in Queen street, but, by some mistake, they were taken to the saloon of a man named Cox, by whom they were received. Bell, upon discovering the blunder, the following day, went to Cox and asked for the restoration of his goods. Cox, although he had only used a few oysters, declined to give them up, and also refused to pay more for them than S3 6d. Bell claimed 10s per .bag. This was the statement made, of the plain tiff's'case. In support of it D,ehis,j_,ubie was called.

He was engaged: by Mr Smith, as his coachman, at.£l pel* week. In June, 1880,,Mr, Smitb promoted him to the position of traihe_i a,nd, inaddi- tion to continuing tlie £l'per Week, promised; •to allow him 5 per cent, oh the winnings of, the horses.

I At: Christmas time the horses woh .£291, and at the Henderson's Mill,1 .meeting, sometime'later, £$7 additional.; TBy; ti mistake, however.** he had | .only charged his percentage upon £34, instead 'of upon £352.

Mr Smith was far "from liberal in his 'treatment, allowing .witness moi'e than once to pay out of his own pocket expenses,in curred, for the horses, and very often black guarding him."' in' a violenti-nianiier when something occurred to disappoint his ex pectations. On the 21st of the present monti, Mr Smith came to the stable and toldhimthat he did not want him any longer as he had engaged another trainer at 10s a week and 10 per cent, on the winnings. He'told him to go at once, refused to pay. hia claim, but promised to give him ad— good character, AH he had received since hits engagement in cash was £24, out of which he paid £2-odd on Mr Smiths account.

DISTRICT COURT.— This Day.

.«_ (Before His Honor Judge Macdonald.) Beloe v. Mokan ; claim £100, damage to property.—Mr J. M. Alexander for the plaintiff, nnd Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant.—His Honor delivered judgment in this case to-day. He said:—"The parties are both land owners at Pukehohe, where plaintiff had laid dow an orchard of a few acres, which he was preparing to ex tend. The site of this orchard was bounded about N. and N.E. by a natvral bush covering about 5 acres, which had been left as a shelter ror the fruit trees. Defendant had some fallen bush on his land, ana on the Sth March his servants had " burning off" effected, according to the evinence, with a reckless disregard to results, such results being, that the. fire had extended over the land of an inter vening ocoupier to that of plaintiff, the evidence whereof was so ample that defend ants counsel, who had evieently been mis-, instructed, was constrained - to. admit his :".; client's liability,, confirming • tlje issue to the amount of damage. Upon that point, the main claim, in.addition to fencing and minor matters, was for loss of the shelter to the orchard, to which the plaintiff's evidence agreed that out of tbe five acres of shelter, the bush on four acres was totally destroyed and rendered useless',. for all purposes,.including that of shelter. ' They denied that any portion of the four acres had been destroyed by a previous fire, which they admitted had attacked the bush last year, but had been confined to a small portion of that acre which -escaped ■ on; the present occasion. Plaintiff's loss they, estimated largely, but all agreed that £100, the outside limit of the jurisdiction of this Court,was the inside limit of the injury sns tainedafterrevieWiDgtheev-denceHisHono , resumed. - (Altogether plaintiffs estimate of his'ioß3atnpwardß of £100 is in nowise disproved, and tbo it is hard on defendant,' Who has to suffer for his servants' recklesv ■ ness, I cannot allow my sympathy to weigh against'the evidence, which, if true, shows the net loss at more than the most I can award him.: I say '.' if true " because if Mr Wrebnwas right plaintiff's witnesses, Who spoke of the extent' covered' by the fire, were wrong, which can be readily estab lished.' They must have been so wilfully. ■ Judgment for plaintiff; £100 damages and costs. I may add that I have! a strong feeling that the amount of damage is in : excess of the loss, but I could only give less by ignoring the only evidence of worth before me, and acting on a suspicion of. my : 'own,' which, after all; may be groundless..
