Perhaps nothing would tend further to economy in the administration than passing a vote m greater detail, orin corporutiugthe estimates as formerly into the Appropriation Act or mVine them the effect of permanent law. It is ferv desirable that the duties of the Audit Office as to the recovering moneys erne to the Crown should be more clearly defined, nnd I can see no reason why the surcharge of the Audit Office should not in all cases be made final, subject to appeal on points of law to the Supreme Court, the more so that it has had that effect by the Revenues Act for many years us regards the accounts of iraprestees.he considers the form in which be urges that relations between the.Post Office and Treasury should not be allowed ( 0 remain as at present.

THE LATEST.

Wellington, this afternoon, 3 p.m.

BILLS. Mb Dick introduced the Hospital and Charitable Aid Bill, Mr Hall the Liceiiß ing Bill, and MAJOR ATKINSON the Chinese Immigration Bill. AN EXPLANATION. Me Hall in reference to a point raised by Sir George Grey yesterday that no seats were provided in the Council Chamber for representatives at the opening of Parli ament explained that the omission was accidental.

ALLEGED RAPE NEAR MERCER.

A Man Arrested.

He Admits the Cliavge.

Particulars have reached town of an ar rest on a charge of rape by Constable W. Walker at Mercer. The prisoner is a young man named Jamesi Walker, and the alleged offence is said to have been committed by him some months ago. The complainant is a young girl aged twelve years and uiae month?, named Ellen Eadie Peters. Her father formerly carried on business as a baker in Auckland, and is well-known hero. Mr Peters has for some time past been a settler at Miranda, near Mercer, and the prisoner was a servant in his employ. The girl Ellen Peters states that the alleged rape was committed on her by the prisoner on the 19th February. She explains that the fact of her having kept the matter a secret so long was owing to her having i;o mother or other female friend in whom she' I could confide. Motives of delicacy pre vented her making a statement to any man, and consequently sihe injudiciously kept the whole affair a secret for some time. Mr Peters married again recently, and the girl made a full confession to her stepmother la3t Monday. Walker, it is said, was spoken to in reference to the crime, and deuied it strenuously. He, however, subsequently ad mitted it by wishing to have the mother kept quiet, and offerins; to pay.any expenses thatmightbeincurred. Constable Walkerwas commuuicated with, and tho statement of the girl having been laid before him, he arrested the prisoner at 3 o'clock yesterday morniug. When the constable charged him with the offence, Walker admitted it. He was brought up at the Mercer Court to-day, and on the application of the constable the case was remanded for a few days, in order that tho witnesses might be brought in from the Miranda.

SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S LAST OFFICIAL DESPATCH.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

I WELLINGTON, Thursday. An important despatch from Sir Julias Vogel was laid upon the table to-day. After referring at length to the circumstance of raising the five million loan and the inscrip tion, he expresses a doubt whether the five per cent debentures would have realised even 92 without the inscription proviso of which he was the originator. He says :— " All conversions of high rate of interest stocks to stocks bearing lower rates of in terest, have a tendency to success in tlie the London markets, because investors are willing to give relatively higher rates tor securities which, being at a discount, have apparently better prospects of in creased value than premium securi. ties, which must be paid off at par sooner or .later." He quotes Mr Hall's admission that he (Sir Juliua Vogel) was '.' holding office for tlie convenience of the Government," and poiuts out that had he not trusted to the Government to do him justice, he might have secured himself as Sir Penrose Julyau did. After remarking that Sir Pjnrose Julyan's services were uucces sary to raising the loan as retirement of his name would have been attended with very .evil consequences, Sir Julius Vogel proceeds, " Without egotism, I may say my services were also essential to the Government. If, at the date (November 10th, 1879) of your telegram, when to use your own words, I was holding office for the convenience of .the Government, I bad decliued to hold office unless the terms were fixed for my remuneration with reference to the loan, there can be be doubt the Govern ment would have agreed to such terms, fur they could not have done without my ser vices in floating the loan. • With the awful consequences of the failure before Govern ment they then would have thought little enough of according me the extra remunera tion of one-eighth per cent. I was, how ever, content to leave myself entirely in the i hands of the Government, and I am now told my services were remunerated by my salary as Agent-General, as such salary covered the services in respect of loans per formed by my predecessor. If I had then had before me the prospect of holding the appointment some years, or if the services of my predecessor in regard to loans had been at all similar, there might be some fores in the contention, but my Agent-General days were virtually num bered, and the services I rendered as to loans were such as I beliere no other Agent- General has done. When it is considered that it was entirely owing to my untiriug efforts in carrying the Inscribed Stock Acts, and to the statement which I prepared as to the position and prospects of the colony, that the Government were able to attract subscriptions, and float a loan of such mag nitude, and when it is considered that I receive less for my four years' services as Agent-General, including the work of the loan, than the other agents received as com mission on loan only, can it be wondered at that I feel I have not had justice done me ? I cannot believe the Government have had these considerations fairly before them, and I feel it a duty to myself to place them on record, i may, I think, be ex cused (for saying that' ray case is not an ordinory one. I am retiring from the Government; service, not through any fault of my own, but in honourable fulfilment of engagements known to members of thef Government at the time they were con tracted, and not then objected to. I shall have completed eleven years, of service of a most arduous description, during which I have held the highest offices and have had to make three Y ovage3 t0 England. The best years of my life and my health have been sacrificed to the colony, and I retire without pension and without recompense, beyond the ordinary payment incidental to the offices I have held, and the actual exponses connected therewith, I have had, however, the happiness of witnessing during these years such develop ment of the resources of the colony, aud such advance, in the prosperity of its in habitants as have taken place in no other colony, and. I refer with just pride to the important legislation I have had" the honour ■of assisting to promote, and especially to those measures which I had the good fortune to originate." Sir Julius Vogel then lefers to the continued friendship of his former comrades in Parliament, and says :— "I do not despair that ere long a,more generous view will be taken of the services I honestly believe I have rendered to the colony than is at present entertained; and I look forward with hope that, quite inde pendently of all party views, there will be some recognition of those services with ;the .full concurrence.of both parties in the House and of the colony generally." TRUNK LINE FOR THE NORTH

ISLAND,

■" 'In this, my farewell official communica tion to New Zealand, I hardly know: if I am justified in the' observation 1 am about to make. If I exceed.proper limit in doing so, I hope the conscientious'feeling under which I labour may be held to excuse mo. I wish most solemnly to place on re cord' that but for the consent of the whole colony, the railway and immigration policy could not have been pursued, that that consent , was obtained on the funda mental condition that there ' should be a trunk line through both islands, and that justice requires from the states men of New Zealand the fulfilment of the obligation. Let me add that though I cease to be officially connected with; the colony no actions throughout my life will give me greater pleasure than those which enable me to be of service to New Zealand jn every way in my power." Mr Hall, m reply, contends that Sir J. Vogel might have continued to be Agent-General if he resigned the direction of the Agricul tural Company, and while acknow ledging Sir J. Vogel's public services, feels it his duty, in justice to the colonists, to express the opinion that, in recognising those services, they had not been either un grateful or ungenerous towards him. lie earding the obligation to construct a trunk railway,1 Mr Hall says he feels assured that Parliament will make provision as soon as prudent statesmanship and justice to all parts of the colony warrant that proceeding. There is also a cablegram from Sir F. I). Bell that Sir J. Vogel claims a month s pay for each year of service, and a reply from Mr Hall that the law doas not: permit this, as Sir J. Vogel voluntarily resigned, r, ■■ ■' ■i"

To Mr Tyler : Was married at the Police Court to Mr Domingo. She paid the fee. Selina Potter deposed that she was living under the protection of Mr Craig as his i wife. She was present at the row. Mr j Craig asked Madame de Bar to open the ' door. _He said she might as well let him in as Whittle. He went in, and took witness by the hand, saying "Come, my girl, this is no place for you."

SACRILEGE.

Adam McCormish was charged with stealing the sum of 7s 9d, the property of Benjamin Sweet, from the contribution box of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

_Mr Pardy said as the only evidence was that of a little eirl, who could not be found, it would be impossible to convict the pri soner, and if the necessary evidence- could be got hereafter the prisoner would again be brought ap.

His Worship said if possible to get the necessary evidence such a case should not be passed as that of robbing a place of worship.—Withdrawn.

A FATHEB-IN-LAW. Vincent Walters was charged with neglecting to support his daughter-in-law, Margaret Kust Walters, he beiDg of suffi cient ability to do so. Mr George appeared for defendant, and urged that the case was not one in which a fatber-in-law should be asked to contribute.

His Worship.said the information could not be supported, as complainant did not require support for herself, but for her children.

Mr George said the unfortunate father in-law, who was advanced in years, had had the felicity of bringing up several others of the family. , Mrs Walters said she had six children, the eldest being only nine years. Her hus band had gone away, but whither she knew not.

Mr Pardy made some remarks upon the case, and said that Mr Walters had a bad son, and Mrs Walters a bad husband. It was stated that Mr Walters had a large farm

Mr Walters : But it is all mortgaged. You run away from my son. ~ , ; ~Mr Pardy said complainant could not live, with her husband, owing to his ill ■treatment. Mr E.

His Worship : We shall see next week. CHAK<JE AGAINST MESSES BINDON BROTHERS. W. V. and J. C. Bindon were charged with maliciously setting fire to a building in High-treet on the 2nd of June, the pro perty of Christopher Greenway. Mr Hesketh appeared to watch the case for the prisoners. Mr Pardy opened the case on the part of the police, and stated particulars, as will be disclosed in evidence.

Christopher Greenway deposed that he lived a private life ; some persons said he was a gentleman; could not say. He lived in Hobson-street. Was the owner of the building in High-street recently held by the brothers in the dock. (Witness then described the building.) Prisoners held the ground floor and the cellar ; the upper story was let to different people as offices. He was not insured on those premises. They formerly had a lease, but recently they were weekly tenants. To Mr Hc9keth: He let the premises to both. Ho understood so, however, (Lease produced.) They subsequently paid 25s a week. Made no fresh agreement. Thoruas Henry Butler deposed that he was an Insurance clerk in the North British and Mercantile Insurance Com pany, part of his duty being to canvass for customers. In Juno, of last year, he spoke to the elder Bindon about insuring his stock. He did not decide. Called several times. Finally he consented to insure, and signed a proposal on the sth July. The in surance was effected tor £380 on the stock, and £20 on the fixtures and utensils. A policy was duly issued for £400. Some time ago Mr W. y. Bindon met witness in the street, and said he might want to increase the amount; and, could it be done. Witness told him he thought the property was fully insured already, Mr Bindon said in case he should increase his stock.

Croas-examined by Mr Hesketh : He was a customer afterwards, It was an exchange of custom. ..''.„'■•:

John M. Shera, merchant, of Auckland, deposed that ho had power, as agent of the North British, to issue policies of assurance. A policy was issued to W. V. Bindon on his stock, &c, for £400, which was still in 'force.

To Mr Hesketh: He did not effect the in surance nor inspect the premises. . John Hughes, Superintendent of , the Auckland Fire Brigade, and Fire Inspector, deposed that on the evening of Thursday, the 2nd inst., he heard the alarm of fire, He at once proceeded to the spot, being in town at the time. It was at a two.storied house in High-street in the occupation of defendants, Tne fire was inside, and all the windows were closed and the doors secured. On the arrival of the brigade, he got the hose ready and broke open the front door at the corner of the two streets. Com menced to put the fire out. The door lead ing into the back yard was fastened. He hove his body against it, and it opened. Did not,use the hose at the back part of the premises. There was a strong smell of kerosene. Extinguished the fire before much damage was done. Examined the premises. Began with the bins, and then the office. A hole had beenr burnt through

the floor about 10 inches in diameter, and the joist. The placo smelt very strongly of kerosene. Called the attention of Detective Jeffrey to the smell, and, having put out the fire, left the detective to take charge of the premises. Found coals in the grate. They had never beeu on lire. No fire had been in the grate recently. There was no connection with the coal and the hole in the floor. Examined the pre mises under the stairs, quite away from the bins. Had some difficulty in getting behind the bins. Went on hands and. knees. I'ound another hole burnt through the floor from above. No connection with other hole, It was a distinct and iseparate lire. (Sketcli of the premises by Detective! Jeffrey put in,) Found that a fire had been iv the bin. Quite distinct from the others. Noticed the smell of kerosene very strong in the bin. Examined the cellar under the floor. Captain Butler decended first. There was no siga of fire in the cellar fire-place. To His Worship : The fires up-Btairs could not have originated in the cellar. Mr E. Cooper appeared with Mr Hesketh on behalf of the prisoner. Mr Hughes was recalled : He examined the Rtaircase the morning after the fire, both from the yard and High-street, found no traces of kerosede or oil then ; re-examined this place to-day, and found stains of kerosine, track by track, coming from the yard into the premises. John Harley, coach smith, residing in Lome-street, a member of the Fire Brigade, deposed : He carried the hoße to the scene of the fire. The back door was locked. Told Mr Hughes he could not get in. Mr Hughes forced it open. Constable Jones was in the yard. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh: Saw the smoke issuing from the inside through tlio sky-light. Captain John Butler, of the Auckland Salvage Corp9, deposed that he was present at the fire. Knew the cellar of the build ing, Saw the grating leading into the back. Went in. Found some difficulty in getting into the cellar. It was partly secured from the inside. There was a fire-place in the cellar. There was no lire in the grate ; nor had there been for a considerable time.

The remainder of Mr Butler's evidence waa similar to that of the previous witness. Ho smelt kerosene, and was of opinion hat the fire was caused by it. (Left witting.)

MR M'GARRY'S BODY FOUND.

' » We learn that the body of the missing man McGarry was found oil' Tiri Tiri this afternoon by an oyster boat. The surmise that he fell off the wharf is thus strengthened.

THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR, FRIDAY. JUNE 10



Jlie ' Heralds" atatemont that the Grammar School petition lias been numer ously signed does not appear to be borne out by facts. A STAB reporter to-day pro ceeded to the shops and ollices where the four lists aro lying for signature. One of them had two names and another nine names appended. Mr Kattray declined to J i allow his liat to be inspected, but said it bore 150 signatures. There were 48 names on the copy at the " Herald " office, but no less than 22 of these were recognised as employe's in the office, and our reporter being unacquainted with the whole of the "Herald" staff, it is probable that the greater portion of the list is com posed of the names of persons engaged in the establishment. From this it will be seen that " our most-respected citizens" are few in number and curiously made up ; but the great majority of the people, whether influential and respected or other wise, have sufficient shrewdness not to allow themselves to be made tools of.
