Mr Brown interpreted between the Court and the prisoners.—Mr Laishley asked that Mr Young might also act as inter preter ; as Mr Brown was engaged on behalf of the Crown; and he understood that Mr Brown was subpconed as a witness in the case. Mr Coleman objected.—His Worship had no objec tion to Mr Young acting a a check upon Mr Brown, and with the consent of Mr Coleman. Mr Young was duly sworn. Mr Laishley said ther. was no tpecifto oharge against the prisoners, ond he would like to hove the charge distinctly and clearly stated for the purpose of knowing really what he had to meet.— His Worship ruled that the information was sufficient, and if Mr Laishley had any author ities to quote he had better quote them at once. —Mr Laishley then gave several authorities to shew that the offence must be clearly and defin itely stated,—His Worship still considered the Information sufficient, and Mr Laishley's ob jection would not affect tbe proceedings.—Mr Coleman then opened the case, and went over the evidence given by the woman, Agnes, in the Supreme Court; pointing out the contradictions made by the woman, and with which the public are familiar.—His Worship asked Mr Coleman how ho was going to negative.—Mr Coleman replied that he should shew by witnesses that Mr Sobritzky was not there at all on that day.— His Woriihip said that witnesses had better leave tbe Court.—Henry Clayton Brewer, Registrar of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, deposed that he remembered Thursday, the 6th October.

(Left sitting.)

ABANDONMENT OF BARQUE PRINCE VICTOR.

{FROM "SYDNEY HEWS.")

NEWCASTLE, September 29. B. the arrival of the Government steamer Ajaxback at this port this evening, par. ticulars have come to hand of the abandon'! ment of tbe above vessel at sea, and the subsequent safe arrival at Cape HawKe of part of the crew. The news of the dis tressed vessel was first made public on the arrival of the steamer Governor Blackall at Sydney, when a large barque was reported waterlogged about 150 miles east of Cape Hawke, with her fore mast gone; and immediately upon tbis news being known the harbour authorities despatched the steamer A jax in search. That vessel reports searching well off the land, from 50 miles east of Newcastle to 70 miles east of Cape Hawke without meeting with the missing vessel, but found the crew, except one, safely arrived at Cape Hawke, and brought them on to Newcastle. The Prince Victor was a barque of 294 tons, and was bound on a voy age from Maryborough to Melbourne, laden with a cargo of cedar logs. On Friday night at 10 o'clock the ship was thrown on her beam ends in a heavy squall, the fore and main hatches being nnder water, and the seas pouring down below. In. order to right the ship the crew cat away the foremast flush with the deck, and that took away with it the main topmast and the mainmast head and mizzen topmast, leav ing nothing standing but the stumps of the main and mizzen masts. One ot the main topsail-yards in falling went through the tank of water on deck, and destroyed all the ■water available on board, as the waterdown below was damaged by the salt water in the hold. The ship righted after being relieved of her top gear, and they found the water in the hold was .up to the 'tween deck beams. At 3 a, m. on Sunday morning the crew came to the determination to leave the ship, as the weather was moderating and they had been without water for two days. They got provisions ready and the boat re paired, as it had been damaged by tbe logs rolling about en deck, and made everything ready for launching. L lunched the boat successfully, got the provisions on board, and saw all hands into her safely, with the exception of the cook, James Collins, who refused to go . into the boat, stating he would sooner die aboard the ship than risk his life in the boat. Left the ship about 2 p.m. on Sunday last, and lay off for about 20 minutes to give tbe cook another chance to come with us. They sang out to him that he had still another chance to come in the boat. He said, " No; good-bye. God bless you all 1" They then set sail on the boat, and made all possible speed in for the land. Sighte.d the land on Tuesday morning near Cape Hawke, and at about 9 a.m. saw a steamboat's smoke to the southward, but she passed them by without notice ab.ut 11 a.m, The men were then quite exhausted tor want of water, and two of them sank

down in tbe bottom of the boat exhausted when the steamer went past. They then pulled as well as they could for Cape Hawke, and landed safely, and received every hospitality lrom the people there.

CORRESPONDENCE.

DR. WALLIS AND THE WORKING CLASSES.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Dr. Wallis is quite right when he says yon have not reported his speeches fully enough to place bim in a proper light before the electors. Por that reason I took the trouble, some time ago,to give extracts from " Hansard," shewing what attitude the doc tor had taken up in relation to various questions affecting the working classes. And I think I 'shewed pretty conclusively by quotations from his own speeches that, on the grounds of want of political honesty, Doctor Wallis is quite unfit to represent such an important constituency as City West. I have it on good authority tbat the reason of his at last voting in favour of the Chinese Bill after speaking bitterly against it, and abusing the Press and working man on their opposition to the influx of " Chinese," was not from any change of opinion, but because he was told that there would not be the most remote chance of being returned again for City West should he vote against it. This I was told before the Members left for Wellington.

DX. WALLIS ON PROTECTION TO LOCAL

INDUSTRY.

Now let us see what he says on other ques tions affecting the prosperity of the work ing classes: tin June 22,1880, while speak ing on the want of confidence motion, he is reported in " Hansard " to say on protec tion : "It is one of those subjects which people generally do not understand. It takes years of steady study to master it, and those who have given that study to it, should endeavour to persuade all Legisla tures to throw away protection altogether, and adopt a policy of free trade. That ia the best policy of New Zetland. Of course we have Customs duties. They are necessary, but they never ought to be of a protective character," and so on.

HE THINKS WORKING MEN SHOULD BE

SPECIALLY TAXED,

Again, in speaking on the Railway question on June 29th, 1881, he says: " There Is one thing connected with the subject nnder debate to which no reference has been made, and I think it has an important bearing upon the position at which we have arrived. I would ask this very important question: How did the railway policy inaugurated ten years ago affect our masters—a numerous class in this community—l mean the working classes? I say it has prevented wages from being lowered to a large extent. It has raised wages 30 or 50 per cent, in many parts -of the colony. If it be true tbat this railway policy has enormously raised. the wages of the labourers, artisans, and the working classes generally, the logical conclusion is tbat the working classes ought to be specially rated for the sup port <f these railways. It is true that the working classes contribute through the Cus toms duties. But would the honourable member for Motueka vote for an increase oi the Customs duties paid by the working man 1 No, he dare not do so. The towns have largely benefitted by the railways, es pecially the large centres of population, and tbe working classes, in so far as the wages are greater than they were in 1869 and 1870, have been greatly benefitted nnd therefore a tax ought to be put up**, them." HE TBTNKB SHUFFLING EXCUSABLE. In speaking on Hare's system of repre sentation on July 6,1881, he soys:-. "Very often a candidate is strongly tempted to conceal or disguise his opinions or convic tions when these happen to be unpopular. He is often tempted to use much trickery, bribery, and other evil practices as may not bring him within the chance of hovlngl an election petition presented against him. He is under strong inducement to keep back whatever is disagreeable to a considerable number of his constituents. Indeed, truth fulness and independence to a lifrge extent are suppressed, and, that being the case, the candidate must then form, twist, and screw his mouth into pronouncing the party Shibboleth, and into pronouncing it with the orthodox accent, &c. A VAIN SEARCH. Now let ns look and see what special qualifications the Doctor has to commend him to the notice of City West, and the reasons that we should elect or reject him, should he again offer himself for re-election. To be candid, Mr Editor, I must aay that after having gone over all his speeches as repoited in " Hansard," I have not seen one (although I have tried), nor can I give you a single quotation from one favonrablo to the working classes or their interests. I believe that three-fourths of the electors on the roll for City West are working men. We haTe been virtually disfranchised. We have seen promises he made on the hustings systematically broken. He Is In favour of Chinese immigration; of lowering the standard of living. He states that immi gration does not lower wages; that free trade should be adopted for New Zealand; that Customs duties should not be of a pro tective character; that the railway polioy has prevented wages being reduced; that it has raised wages 30 to 50 per cent, in some ports ; and that the working classes ought to be specially rated for the support of rail ways. The quotation of July 6th co thoroughly expresbes the manner in which he really did act each time he was elected that ho might just as well havo prefaced bis remaks with, " The way I had to act in order to secure my return for City West," &c. Now, sir, I hope I have shown that our shuffling doctor, at all events, is not the man we want to represent us in City West. Such being the case, let us see what we can do. Work ing men ef Auckland, stir yourselves. lam not a candidate—will not be, but we want someone to represent us. Try and manage it.—l am, &C, A WORKING MAN AND an Elector of Citit West.

THE DIOCESAN SYNOD AND THE PARISH BOUNDARIES COMMITTEE.

To the Editor.

Sib,—l should not trouble you with a letter on a subject Interesting only to one portion 01 the oommunity, were it not that two or three gentle men, to goin the ends ot their own individual Parish or Parishes, threw no small amount of dust in the eyes ot the Synodemen. Ido not übo the more excressive, if more sporting, equiva lent " drew a red herring aoro-s the scent," as that expression seemed to give offence when applied to the pnmose last evening. Our gentle men stigmatised the objection to the alteration as being caused merely by the petty feeling of two clergymen, who objected to losing a! slice

I off their Porlahes (St Matthew's and St. Paul's). Any thingfarthor from foot it would beimpoß3lole to utter, as no t only do both these Parishes receive an equivalent in territory, but in the oase of St. jviattnow's, its representative (a layman) on tho Committee recorded his protest on that Com mittee's report. The principle, however, wrongly laid down and most in need of being comb&tted, is that if a body like the Synod ap points a Select Committee, it is well-niga bound to accept and endorse tbe finding of that Com mittee OB its own act and deed, and give effect to it accordingly. When two parties to a dis pute appoint on arbitrator they are usually, where even they are not legally, bound to acliae by his deolsion', but in the cose ot tho Synod, as in that of the House, ot Parliament, a select committee is merely ; .o ready wwoi arriving at on approximate conclusion, and so saving waste of time and trouble .to the general body. In fine; the select committee la the em bad iment of the judge and not of the parties to the trial, who have bo small a voice iv its ap pointment that it may be said to. be praotlcally reduced to nil. Thus, olthough it may seem a somewhat ungraoious oot to refuse to endorse the aotion of the select committee, there Is quite another side to the question. One pariah (3t. Sepulchre's) asks to have its territory, limitless on the one side, defined; the Synod ap point- a committee to report upon parish boundaries generally; and this report, ia cause favourable to their own parish, certain gentlomen demand the acceptance of without a murmur, notwithstanding the fact that one member of the committee has recorded a protest against Its finding. The two oleruymen, more over, of two of the parishes direotly concerned, are not to open their lips, notwithstanding that they, with the eleoted laymen, are sitting in the Synod as representatives of their respective parishes. Now, all (as far as I could under stand! that one of these parishes asked was to be lot alone. " If," Bald the parish, "I am too unwieldly, cut a piece off me when the time comes, but don't tinker my boundaries so purposelessly meanwhile." Surely a reasonable remark. But, no I other parishes around seem to scent blood in the air, and bo there is to be a general scramble for whatever can be rent from the old bodies corporate. Truly, It reminds ono ot the old story oc Ahab wanting Naboth's vJneyord; Jezebel procured it for him, and he made it into a garden of herbs; thoy turned out bitter herbs,though—un commonly bitter herbs. This by the way. Imust crave pardon for this analogy, but do not Intend it to be personal to Individuals. "Tbe parish" has been already denominated by one distinguished member of the Synod " that figment." I will call it what Ahab was In the hands of JezebeL " that puppet," Puppets oan stand hard -nooks, so here goes—not striking blows, tbongh, at members who may be sentient and even sapient, bat only at that big " figment," that senseless "puppet"—"lr," the pariah. Ahab, then, wanted Naboth's vineyard just because it joined his garden. Now, what limit is there to this kind of claim} And this seems the only imaginable ground of title that All Saints' could show to the pieoe grabbed from St. Mat'he w'e. What aliock ingoonduotl And AUSalntb'a daughter, too, oris it a son, by ;the way? "It" oant be either—if the latter perhaps it's the "Prodigal" returned, who only wants his own twice over. "Con venience" was the plea—however, mueb'oon sideratlon was shown for parishioners living in the corner left. Inconvenient for tho inhabi tants of one house to go to the Old Church, but quite the reverse for those in the next,, " Con venience," forsooth I How thoroughly "effeminate" our citizens must have become If they cannot walk a mile to " The Old Churoh." " It's a mile," says the committee, " as the crow files." Decidedly complimentary, but rather an extraordinary guage of measurement, seeing we ore not crows, aud that we do not fly. Perhaps, though, we may become "crows" or—more correctly. I believe — " rooks " when we have become attached to All Saints'. This grasping all that joins ua, reminds ub of another oldstory, that of Alexander found weeping because there were no more worlds to conquer. W hen that wonderful New Zealander of Maoaalay's Bball have worn ont his peroh on the crumbling arch of London Bridge, and shall, having taken ad vantage of his return-ticket, come back and seated himself on the last decaying pile of the Waitemato bridge, he will perohance con template the parish he is looking npon steeped in melancholy for a similar reason. Children, they say, grow np to their names, and St. Sep ulchre's may have shewn the truth of.it. appella tion by its all engulphing proclivities; whilst All Saints' will prove to havebconrlghtlynamod, on the prlnolple of the old salt, who claimed to be

" The cook and the captain bold. And the mate ot tho Nancy, brig, And a bo'sn tight, and a midsnlpmlte. And the orew ot the captains gig," from having absorbed the whole Into his own proper person. Another reason given is a petition signed by a few persons resident in tbe portion prepared for swallowing, and for this reason they would bring whole blocks out of one plrish into another. What a case of " bringing the mountain to Mahomet, instead of Mahomet to tho mountain," Why cot take the far more sensible coarse of leaving the working boun daries alone and allowing these individual worshippers to .xerclse their franchise in the parish of their adoption? Might not St. Paul's or St. Matthew's as well aa_ for, detached houses and gardens in Epsom or North Shore ? Verily, thlsia a " crying for the top brick of the chimney." Now, all this is utterly wrong In principle. When successful warfare is lo be carried on, skirmishers may, perchance, retire upon-their supports, but it is a sorry time when they themselves drive their base-lines back wards. New parishes Bhould extend ever out wards, never be guilty of retrogression. Sbould this fatal mistake be made, where is all to end 1 . erohonce, ia shouldering out the old City P-rlikes Bill, no territory will bo left them respectively, save Bangitoto reef and Motuihui. —I am, &o„ Naboth, Junior.

KAIPARA S.S. CO.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Constable Inger tries to answer my letter ro steam service to Port Albert. Now, no one agrees with what he says; but his peculiar occupation (being paid mileage And by tho day by Government for conveying prisoners and Maori lunatics) may cause him to admire the present awfully slow travelling. Only once a week Is thore communication. The first weok, we allow, there Is some excuse for the trip requiring two days ond a night on account of tides. Bat the next week there Is no reason whatever why the Durham should not wait 14 hours at Helensvllle, and start upon the arrival ot the _»t train at 9,10 a.m., instead of at 8 o.m. upon Thursday. The boot would not hove to stem the tide, though the Intelligent oonßtoblo says Bhe would. Sixty miles travelled as at pre f present, Is anything but satisfactory. The open ing of the Walta-erei lino has been of no bonefit to us. It has been beneficial to others. Mo other place on Kaipara waters is served as we ore. We only oak the Company to do what is clearly for their own and the publio Interest. Let us, on alternate Thursdays, get through in a day, as trains and tides permit, and do not let the Durham steam away an hour or so before the train arrives. What o bright ldeo I It la a great convenience in the Waikato to hove a railway; but if the inhabitants 60 mica down tho line had to be two days and a ni.ht doing that distance, many would, I think, take again to the high road. The Durham leav ing on the arrival of the first train, would easily reaoh Port Albert at 3 p.m., giving plenty of time to allow passengers to reach their homes, even it they lived thirty times further from the landing than Head Constable Inger does. The late Captain Casoy did not lose oy the Kaipara service, nor would the present company it conducted in the same manner; and if tho publio wero not so gratuitously badly served, as I now endeavour to explain. Tbe only people benefited, besideß the energetlo and popular constable, are the hotel [and boarding house keepers at Helensvllie.-I am, etc, Pbop-lleb.

A correspondent writes :— " Sir,—Will you please find a corner in your journal to insert the following incident: Four ladies were landed on the wbaif at Helensvllle, and, having to go to the upper end of the village^ they passed through tho railway gate into the iood—no, not a road, it is tho Slough of Despond—over which some kind, hearted person has laid a few thin boards. But these, boards had sunk in the mud, and the eye could not detect their whereabouts j so over the boots one of the ladies went, quite defacing Day and Martin's polish. Then, after passing Mr Stewart's store, they had to climb the hill of difficulty, or a place cut into deep ruts, where 1 assure you it requires a dexterous person to keep his upright position, and, if he falls, woe betide him, Whoever would venture the same way back would be a bold person. Now these four ladies returned on the low road, trespassing on the railway—a great many do, and who would not. Well, as one of" these ladies was crossing over the railway bridge, she cast her eyes below and saw the fearful gulf beneath her. All at once her nerves collapsed—they were not strings of steel to bear her up, and she fell, and but for her two companions, who instantly caught her, she would doubtless either have dashed her brains out falling on the timber or gone through the flood into a paradise of mud and been strangled before she could have got out. So I should have lost my wife, the mother of my children— that is all. Since then, I have heard, two reverend gentlemen were passing over this bridge, and one of their brains turned, and being deficient in sight, ho went down on bis hands and knees, and in that humble position, had to crawl back. One woman did fall down into the mud, which is about 6ft. deep. How she got down without coming in contact with the timber is a mystery. Now, sir, do you wonder why I relate all this to yon ? Just because I know ' well yon can persuade' ; therefore, I want' you to coax the railway officials to put up a temporary footpath so that passen gers can get safely to the trains until, the Road Board or proper authorities find out that the place is a disgrace to civilised society, for it seems they have not yet found it out."

MINING NEWS.

MINE MANAGERS' KEPORTS. Oed Caledonian.— There is very little change since last report. East Drive, No, 1 level; In breaking down the reef to-daj the indications are as favourable as ever, if anything, there is more copper mixed with the minerals, and the reef is widening out. R_SERVE.—No. 2 leader ; I run a stopc 18 feet from the rise on this leader; for th< lost 5 or 6 feet the leader was very small, and np gold showing ; I started ft drive lasl Friday to cut the Home Rule leader. The drive is now in 19 feet through fine working country. I expect to cut this leader in 3E or 40 feet more driving.—Peter Barrett, New North Devon.—Driving and stop ing have been continued. The reef in drive is still about 6ft. in width and still maintains a promising appearance. Al 160lt. level the reef has been shot down foi a distance ot about 10ft. It looks weß, carrying good minerals; but no gold has been seen as yet. Cinsbing was started last night with 10 head stampers, which the manager expects to keep going for some ti_ie to come. Wisbman (Tiki).—Since my last report I have extended No. 1 drive a distance of 20 feet, making the whole distance 50 feet. This reef is 2ft 6in thick, and its course north by south. This reef is improving every foot driven oh, and carries.every gold bearing indication, though I cannot see any in the stone yet. I have put in a drive 32 feet to cut the Maori Win leader. This distance ought to meet it acoording to the bearing of it in the Maori Win ground, so I expect to get it now any day. I cut two nice stringers in this drive, each about two inches thick.—R.
