Mr Oliver could not support the Bill. The admission in this colony was much easier than it was in many other countries. He warned them tbat if they adopted this they would regret it. Mr Shbimski spoke ot the bad taste dis- Played by Mr Stewart in being the first to raise his voice against the passing 01 til. Bill. They had heard a great deal about the respectability of the legal profession. He reminded them of how many had been struck off the rolls iv New Zealand alone for mal-practices. Mr Kelly supported the Bill. He said that the public interest was invariably the cry raised in cases ot this kind. They wero told that the lawyers would be benefitted by this Bill, and yet, strange to say, the only opposition came from lawyers. Colonel Trimble spoke against the Bill. He pointed out that, at Home, notwith standing a University education, it was found that a special training was necessary. Mr Whitaker said the question was one of public interest. To his mind, the Bill was unworkable, and in its present shape it would be soon repealed. His objection, . however, was to the manner in which it was proposed to bring the Bill into committee. He knew that there were members who had amendments to propose and may not have expected, that it would be brought forward at thia timo. Dr. Wallis pointed out that thirteen members had stood aside with bills in which they were interested, in order that this bill might be brought on. That waa all but un precedented in that House, and showed the estimation in which the Bill was held. Sir George Grey said in committos that in deference to the opinions of the House he would ask to introduce the word " male " persons, although he believed that women would yet be enabled to take their place as practitioners at the bar. The effect of this measure would be to promote a learned race instead of depress it. Such men as reporters and others who could devote their energy to learning would do so. Probably many would fail, but they would have all the advantage of their studies, instead of as was too much the case at pre sent, spending their leisure time in ques tionable places and pursuits. Then again it would have the effect of freeing young men from the drudgery of the lawyer's office. One great object of the present drudgery was that lawyers might have a good supply of cheap labour. The study of the law was better than any given f amount of general education, so that the tendency of the Bill was to elevate the masses." America, where the principles of this Bill existed, had produced some of the greateat jadges who had arisen, and whose ' opinions were quoted all over the world. ' The opposition came from the lawyers sim- ' ply because they knew that some of the ' ablest men would be enabled to come to the • front. ' The motion for going into committee was • carried on the voices. In committee, Sir G. Grey moved that ' the word "male " be added, so aa to confine admissions to men alone. ' Mr Oliver objected, stating that he did ■ not see why females should be debarred. ' The question was put that the clause '• stand as printed. Ayes, 25; noes, 21. Mr STEWART moved an amendment I " That the words ' examination in general knowledge' be inserted in the clause." The House divided. Ayes, 24, noes, 25, j - Sir G. Grey moved, " That the words be ' altered to read ' examination in law by anyone of the judges of the said Court shall be entitled to be enrolled a candi- l date, &c.'" !

STAR SUPPLEMENT.-" AN EXTRA ORDINARY PENNYWORTH.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l am only endorsing the expression of hundreds, aye thousands, of your numerous readers, when I say tbat you are giving ub "an extraordinary pennyworth," by issuing this supplement; certainly you are right in saying never was such a big pennyworth offered here before. Why,sir, it is equal, if not superior, to aome of the threepenny weeklies offered for sale in Auck land. I congratulate the proprietor on the enterprise which has induced him to make such an addition to the Star. It ought to double the circulation on Saturdays, and I have no doubt it will, if you continue to give ns such an excellent Saturday's dish as yeu have commenced with. This being so, what a capital medium you are offering the merchants and business men of Auckland to place before your 30,000 readers the splendid and cheap bargains and excellent articles they have to offer them. Publicity is the soul of success in trade, and it is impossible to have a better medium of publicity than the Stak. Every body knows the Stab, and almost everybody reads the Star. Those who wish to make a fortune (and who don't) should take the hint given in your supple ment—advertise, and let everybody know the quality and price of the articles they have to offer. Trusting that the enterprise may meet with snch success as it certainly merits,—lam, &c., J. P. Phonerle.

CORRESPONDENCE.

DIRECT STEAM COMMUNICATION

WITH ENGLAND,

(To the Editor.)

BIB,—In the account of the proceedings of the House of Representatives on Wednes day evening, I observe that Mr Macandrew moved for and obtained " a Committee to consider and report as to the best means of establishing a direct steam service between New Zealand and the Mother Country." The first thing which strikes one is the personnel of the Committee, which includes only one Northern member, Sir George Grey. Your readers will, of course, knew that this move is a sequel to cer tain propositions to establish direct steam communication, with the view of making Dnnedin the port of call, and I think it shows a discreditable amount of indiffer ence on the part of our representatives, that no objection was raised to the large proportion of Southern influence in the committee. This, Sir, is just another in stance where,, unless the greatest vigilance is maintained, the interests, not only of the North, but of the whole colony, will be sacrificed totheaggrandisementof the South. With your permission, I will remind old settlers, aud inform those who were not in thecolony at the time, the "modus operandi" by which the old Panama Mail Service wtU brought about. The House ot Assembly passed a voto of £60,000 for the service, and Mr Crosbie Ward, Postmaster-General, went home, authorised to make a contract not to exceed that amount, the port of call in New Zealand being left to the option of the contractor. The general opinion waa that there could bejno doubt aa to the port of call, and that, if not Auckland, it would be farther north. Now, I will tell you what actually took place. Mr Ward took with him charts, prepared in Government offices, shewing the whole service, radiating from Wellington : he made this a "sine qua non with the contractors, and concluded on behalf of the colony, a service for a certain term.the cost of which was £11000 or£l2ooo per annum subject to the confirmation by the Government, I need not say that the Southern majority which has perpetrated so many wrongs against Auckland, was only too ready to declare that they were bound in honor to coofirm the act of their represen tative. I regret that any of onr members Bhould leave Wellington before the closing of the session, as measures like the above are generally smuggled through when members are getting tired and begin to think they have done enough to entitle them to their honorarium. — Query. Why did Mr Reader Wood desert his post 1 lt it is true that he is on a stumping tour, this should be borne in mind by those whose votes he would seek.—Yours, &c, An Elector.

WADE SMUGGLING CASES.

THE NEW HEARING,

• Considerable interest was evinced in the J hearing of the Wade smuggling cases by Mr - R. C. Barstow, at the Police Court to-day. , There was a large crowd ot spectators in t Court. ! Maurice Kelly, William Wilson, Robert Wilson, Nicholas Casey, and [ William Morton were charged with a breach i of the Customs regulations by being con ! cerned in the carrying of certain goods . liable, to wit, in the carrying of a certain ! quantity of rum from Duck Creek, near the Wade, "to Orewa river, contrary to section 165 of the said Act, at the Wade, in November, 1880. Mr Laishley appeared' with the Collector of easterns for the prosecution, and Mr Tyler for the defence. Prisoners all pleaded guilty. Mr Tyler said if His Worship had power to reduce the penalty, he would offer some arguments in support of such reduction. His Worship said the section under which the case was laid gave him no power to mitigate the penalty. Mr Tyler then said that the defendants intended to represent the matter to the Go vernor with a view to having the penalty re duced. As a matter of fact, only Maurice Kelly knew that these goods were smug gled. All the others were innocent, and they even supplied the police with all the information asked, without offering any ob jection to such a course. Under these cir cumstances, he asked tho Court to see its way to recommending a reduction of the penalty. flts Worship ordered the defendants to pay a penalty of £100 and eight guineas costs. This amount liberated the whole, although each person was separately liable. ANOTHER CASE. A similar case against James and Ernest Frost was also called. Mr Laishley said there waa no doubt that thesetwodefendantswereequallyguilty with I the others. But in consideration of the information given by these men in reference to the last and other charges, the police were willing to withdraw the charge. Mr Pardy and tho Collector of Customs both agreed to the withdrawal of the pro secution, and the prisoners were dismissed. THE RE-HEARING. Richard Polkinghorne and Adam Emile were charged with being knowingly con cerned in dealing in certain goods liable to duties of Customs, to wit, a certain quantity of brandy, with intent thereby to defraud, at the Wade, on or about the month of June, 1880. There was a second count against them similar to that preferred against the other defendants, i.e., with being concerned in carrying goods liable to forfeiture. It will be remembered that these pri soners were found guilty on this charge some time ago, but on the application of the settlers the prisoners were liberated, and a re-hearing granted. Prisoners were charged and pleaded not guilty. Mr Laishley appeared for the Collector of Customs, Mr Tyler for the man Kelly, Mr Hesketh for Emile, and Mr Lusk for Polkinghorne. All witnesses were ordered out of Court. Mr Laishley said this was a re-hearing of a case which waa before His Worship on the 14th July, when the prisoners were found guilty and ordered to pay £100 each. An application for a re-hearing under the Act of 1856 was granted. No one, he thought, afterhearing the evidence produced on the occasion of the last prosecution, could have come to auy other decision than that arrived at by His Worship. But in the present case the prosecution had five ad ditional witnesses making nine in all. Be fore the Court was satisfied, therefore, that the prisoners should be acquitted, it must also bo satisfied that the wit nesses for the prosecution iv the previous case had perjured themselves, and also that the corroborative witnesses who would be called to-day were not to be be lieved.

Mr Laishley then summarised the facts of the case for the prosecution. He said he would call a man named Robert Wilson, who did not give evidence in the last ease. He would swear to having seen the second £5 paid by Morton to: Adam on the weighhide. The other new witnesses were Frost, Urquhart, Ryan, and another. Mr Laishley said the result would probably prove conclusively that smuggling had been going on in the Wade district for a very con siderable time past. Before concluding hiare marks, he wished to bring under the notice of His Worship thd efforts of the police in connection with these cases. They had been moat unwearying in. their efforts to get up the evidence, not with the object of securing a conviction but iv order to get at the. truth of these matters. He did not think he was going outside the Hue of his duties in mentioning specially the unwearying efforts of Mr Pardy in con nection with the case. He had spared no trouble in his endeavours to elicit as much information as possible.

Dugald McKellar was called, and deposed that he was acting Collector of Customs. The Gazette containing his appointment was produced. William Morton, settler, residing at Lucas' Creek, was brother-in-law of Maurice Kelly, who kept the Wade Hotel. He knew the prisoners. Remembered Enteric coming to him in January last. He asked him to purchase some grog. No transaction took place between them at that time. A fortnight afterwards he met both prisoners on the Wade bridge. William Wilson was with him. Adam called him oa one side, and 'after some conversation he agreed to buy 6 gallons of rum and 4 dozen brandy for £10. He agreed to deliver the grog a week afterwards and witness paid in £5 as a deposit. William Wilson saw the money paid. The other prisoner also saw it paid. Both prisoners took part in the transaction. Polkinghorne spoke of the thing as being a partner in the transaction. Could not exactly remember what he said. He wanted £12, but could not remember his exact words. Adam said, ."We will take the £10." Both said the liquor was planted, but did not specify where at that time. Emile told him where it was planted about three , weeks or a month afterwards. No one else I was present at that time. He said it was planted at Fisherman's Creek in a clump of ti-tree close by the bank. He further minutely described it as being near a water hole. There was nothing further. In order to get the grog he asked each of them separately several times for the grog, as they bad not fulfilled their agreement to give it to him within a week. They put him ofl from time to time, giving no reason, and at last he went and took the liquor. He believed it was on the night of the 4th March. William Wilson was with him. On that night he went to the Wade in company with Wm. Wilson, and borrowed a boat. They went down the river between nine and ten o'clock at night, and proceeded up Fisherman's Creek to the spot where the grog was said to be planted. (A plan of the river and surround ing neighbourhood was then put in, and the spots referred to were pointed out by the witness). The information given to him by Adam enabled him to go direct to a certain spot, where he found the spirits. There wero two jars containing rum, and two cases containing brandy. In the two cases of brandy, there were four dozen bottles, or two dozen in each. The jars contained rum. Did not measure it. Both of the prisoners had told him that there were six gallons. The jars (produced) were these which he found in the spot indicated by the prisoners. He had no doubt that the jars were the same. He dug for them, and found them close to the surface. He could not see them when he arrived thero without digging. They were completely covered up with earth. When he obtained them, he put them in a boat and started for the Wade. When be got to the mouth of Fishermen's Creek, he met with another boat with the prisoners in it. That was in the middle of the stream, which was about forty yards wide. When he met the boat, one of the prisoners—he thought it was Adam—called out " Who's there." He answered, and the man said "What are you up to." He replied that he had been for the grog. Prisoner replied, "You. haven't paid for it and you shan't have it." Ho thought it was Adam who said this. He offered to. return it to him if they would give back his money. They refused tc re turn the money, and threatened to take the grog by force. He said he would not give ft up • they could take it if they liked. Their last words were that if he paid them the balance of the money on the following night all wonld he right; if not, they might look out. He left the prisoners and returned to the Wade. On the 29th May, he went to Polkinghorn s house to see Adam. Did see him there. No transaction took place at the house, but that day he went with Emile to the Wade in- a boat and landed there. He paid him the remaining £5 due on the grog. That was near the wharf. Robert Wilson was with him. He was a brother of the other Wilson. Adam talked with him about different things, including smuggling. No special conversation that he could remember took place then. He had not, had any other smuggling transac tions with the prisoners. To Mr Hesketh: Had not bought grog before that from either of them. Had not

seen this grog at any time before he bought it. He took the word of the prisoners

regarding the quantity and quality. Pri soners did not tell that it was smuggled, although he suspected that it was. Mr Laishley said he might mention that witness had already been convicted in con. nection with this charge. To Mr Hesketh: He was told by tiie prisoners that the brandy and rum were good. He paid the money in £1 notes. Did not borrow it from Wilson. He re quested Wilson to witness the payment, and told him that it was for grog. Did not take a receipt for the money, He was living in Maurice Kelly's house. Prisoners were to deliver the grog, but no place was specified. The second £5 was to have been paid on delivery. He told them that he waa ready to pay the other £5, but they kept putting him off. He had not been to look for the grog before the night on which he went to find it. He aaked prisoner where the grog was. He did not tell him to go and take it, and witness did not give any notice to either of them that he and Wilson was going to take it. He borrowed the boat from the cutter Teazer. She was a large cutter's dingy, measuring about 12J • feet. Did not tell anyone that he wa3 going to the Teazer for a boat. Was not Bure whetherhe told Maurice Kelly. Did not tell him after getting the boat. Maurice Kelly gave him the spade, which he believed, was bor rowed by him at Watkinson's space, He said he was going to dig a bullock. Told Maurice Kelly where the bullock was. Did not want it to dig a bullock out. The boat was empty. It took him only a few minutes to find the place, and only a few rnin_te3 were occupied in tho work of unearthing them. He placed them in the boat. Thero were no signs of fire. The hole dug was about four feet wide, and two feet and a half deep. The jars were standing upright when they were in the boat; he was sure Wilson spoke to prisoners. They had not a greater quantity of grog in the boat than two cases of brandy and six gallons of rum. Was not annoyed that he had been dis covered. Adam did not say to him ,c Is it worth a fellow's while to look another way." They asked for payment after that. It was Adam who asked. Saw him twice between tho night he seized the grog and the day he paid. Went to the houae to pay him. but did not do so till subse quently at tho Wade. Wilson was present accidentally. Polkinghorne had gone away to be ready to attend his work. He was working away from home at tbis time. Gave back the boat and spade on their retern. Did not take the liquor to Maurice Kelly's. Gave the spade to Maurice Kelly. Removed the grog that night overland on horseback to Lucas' Creek. Wilson was with him. They had about nine miles to go. Wilson was living at Dairy Plat, His object in taking the grog to Lucas' Creek was to keep it there till he could sell it. Was not aware that anyone saw them start. They opened the caaes and took out the contents before starting. The cases were thrown into the river, and the bottles which were wrapped in loose straw, placed in bags. One of these was carried on each side of Wilson's horse, while witness had the jars of rum. They had no special reason for taking the grog that night more than any other night. They drank the grog. None ot it was sold. He and Wilson drank the moat of it. Robert Wilson drank part of it. Three of them drank all or nearly all of it. Believed William Wilson gave one bottle of brandy to the police. The grog lasted till the 9th of June. Was in charge of Maurice Kelly's hotel when it was des troyed by fire. He was away at Lucas' Creek. He had gone away eight or ten days previously. He (Maurice Kelly) was there the night before the fire to see how witness was get ting on. He left on the morning of the fire to return to his mother's place, They had plenty of spirit- in the house on the day before the fire, and alao at the time of the fire. No one applied unsuccessfully to him to purchase brandy on the day before the fire. Mr Tebbitts and Mrs Dunn might have been at the house on the day before the fire. Did not know whether they asked him to sell them brandy. Did not remember whether he told them he had none.

Mr Laishley submitted that these ques tions were not relevant to the questions at issue. These things had happened twelve months previously. His Worship said the date of the fire was not before the Court. It might have been on the day previous to the smuggling, To Mr Hesketh : On the day before the fire, the grog which he found oa the 4th March was not taken from the old hotel and planted. When the new hotel waa built he did not go to bring it from its hiding place to the new hotel. Mr Kelly had a very large stock three weeks before the fire. He had also a very large stock at the time of the fire. Could not remember whether he denied anyone to Maurice Kelly on the day before the fire. Did not remember two young mon calling that day to see Maurice Kelly, and did not remember telling them he was not in. Before the fire took place, knew that Mrs Kelly purchased laud on which the new hotel stands. Did not know that the police had threatened Kelly before the fire took place that unless necessary repairs were made he would lose his license. Both Wilsons were in tho house on the night of the fire. Tom Kelly was married to Miss Wilson. Hunter and McCulloch were also there. They did not save much. Maurice Kelly arrived about noon on the day after the fire. When he borrowed the spade, Maurice Kelly did not know that he was going to unearth the grog. Up to that night, he had not told him of the purchase. The bullock bogged was supposed to be Wil son's, but there was really no bullock bogged at all. He believed that Wilsou told Maurice Kelly it was his bullock.

This concluded Mr Hesketh's cross examination, and tho Court adjourned till two o'clock.

Mr Lusk commenced his cross-examina tion of the witness when the Court resumed at two o'clock. It was early in January, when he spoko to Adam about buying the : grog. About twelve days or a. fortnight elapsed between the time he made the bargaiu and the time he went to :Lucas', Creek. Polkiughorne never aske him to complete the bargain. After the 16th February, he was frequently at the Wade, and he often saw Adam. On these occa sions he always asked him when ho was going to give him the grog. Fisherman's Creek was navigable in a dingy about a mile aad a half from where it joins Wade Creek. Before they went to dig tho grog up, they had provided themselves with two horses and tour bags. These were left in _.aurice Kelly's stock yard. The evening Was fine, but dark, there being no moon. He knew the clump of ti-tree where prisoners had said the grog was. Knew it by the mound and water hole. The mound was about eighteen inches above the level of the land. They had no light. The digging might have taken ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Did not see Adam at the Wade that night before they started. He paid the second £5 on a Sunday. A number of other questions in reference to Maurice Kelly and his hotel were asked.

Mr Laishley objected to the line of cross examination.

His Worship said ho did not see what the hotel had to do with the present charge. Mr Lußk said it might have something to do with the liquor whioh was alleged to have been smuggled. Mr Hesketh said the defence was that there had been no smuggling at all; but that all the grog was duty paid; that it was taken out of the old hotel before tho fire, and placed in the new hotel when it was built.

Mr Laishley cross-examined the witness at some length. (Left sitting.)

THAMES, this day. The case, Porter v. McCombie, to com. plete a title to the Martha and othor claims at Waihi, was heard at the War den's Court to-day.

GISBORNE, this day. THE EAST COAST LAND COMPANY. A large native meeting was held at Tologa Bay last night. After the usual welcoming the proposed East Coast Land Company was discussed at great length, and many questions were asked of Mr Bees at the conclusion of his address. These having _een satisfactorily answered it was resolved that the proposed dealings with the Company seemed much preferable to the ordinary sales. If the natives sell to the Company they may, as shareholders, be participators in the profits of the future. It was further resolved that Mr Beeß be requested immediately to in form the directors that the grantees desired to make arrangements for handing over to the Company the Paremata, Mangahera, Panekau, and other blocks. The different speaker frequently urged on Mr Bees the necessity or immediate operations, Doth because the grantees required money, and because they were pestered by Europeans trying to catch up shares, therefore they said, "come on with your money." All tbe speakers said they were in favour of passing in their blocks to the Company, and taking out nearly all the purchase money in shares of the Company. There were frequent ex clamations of " Kapai Te Kapanei," and "KiaTeremia Te Mone " i.e. "Be quick with the money." Great enthusiasm pro vailed, and if tho Company commences operations at once it will simply have it all its own way.
