marketable price for tho plant at that time. A person in need of such goods might have given more, but here the plaintiff had to realize. He seems to have asked one of the witnesses £50 for tho press and types. Deducting commission ou sale, advertising, bailiff, and cartage, the nett sales should have returned £40. I find that the treatment of the goods at the first seizure and subsequently, greatly deterior ated the property, and that such injury was not originally involuntary on the part of tho plaintiff, and thnt he is accountable for the loss occasioned thereby. In addition, his final salo was injudicious and bolow value, a re-sale having been immediately effected at a considerable advance. Was the plaintiff justified in keeping the property six months, and changing interest all the while, the defend ants being kept out of possession? Might he not havo converted his security into an annual rent charge by not selling and always charging interest, for if he could hold for six mouths, why should he not do so for six years or more. 1 find then that there was due by defendants to plaintiffs for moneys lent aud interest, the sum of £46 14- Gd, from which I deduct £40 and find for the plaintiff in £6 14s Gd, and costs £9 4s, And I adjudge him all these costs becauso of tho matter which caused the bills of salo to be put into exe cution.

TUAKAU.

SOME few years ago the system of holding an annual meeting aud social gathering was adopted by tho members of the Church of England congregations iv the various places in the large district under the charge ot tho Rev. William Taylor. Waiuku, Mauku, and Pukekohe having each had their meet ing, it fell to the turn of Tuakau this year, and a few days ago, the day appointed, tho weather being everything that could bo desired there was a large attendance, over two hundred, at the annual meeting and soiree in connection with opening the new church (Sr, John's) lately built at this place. Major Harris being voted to tho chair, the p? ogramrae for the evening com menced with music. The Rev. William Taylor then read his report of the church work of the disttict for the past year. Mr Perry, Sec. to the New Church Building Committee, followod by reading his report. He mado favourable allusion to Mr Bluck and his family, who, together with the handsome donation oi £30, contributed by some friends of theirs in England, was also prepared further to give the sum of £15, contributed by themselves, £45 altogether. or one third of the amount required. A committee was chosen, and a subscription opened, and it was resolved to call for tenders to erect a suitable building. Mr Barkar's tender for £127 was accepted. The contract being completed, to the entire satisfaction of the committee, the church was duly opened by the Bishopof Auckland a few Sundays ago. The building is not large, being only 19 27; still it is largo enough for the usual congregation. In order to make the place church-like and add to the comfort and convenience of all, several presents were made by members of the congregation. The Key. Wm, Taylor gave a secturn ; a beautifully worked altercloth was given by the family or our late respected station-master (W. W. Gray) who in his life took groat interest in the advancement of the building in many ways ; a set of lamps was given by a friend of Mr Bluck's ; and sufficient flax mattiug for the aisles, was given by Mr Perry. Tho secretary concluded by stating that arrangements were now made to hold services twice every Sunday in future, instead of as formerly only once a mouth. Some Auckland ladies kindly gave their services it the harmonium and singing, and were assisted by Mrs S. Revell, Messrs J. Brown, J i Wright, and R, Read. The Rev. B, T. Dudley gave an interesting sketch of mission work in Melanesia, followed by a similar sketch by Mr Brown of the progress of the church in these colonies since he landed in Sydney 45 years ago.—The Rev, J. Bates, in speaking of Sunday schools, gave some excellent advice to both teachers and the parents of children.—A vote of thanks to the Chair man, &c, terminated the proceedings.- It has been ascertained since that the pro ceeds of the entertainment amount to the respectable sum of £16 16?. Great credit is due to the Ladies Committee—Mrs Harris, Mrs Brown, and Miss Bluck, and the ladies who kindly assisted them at the tea tables, &c—A ComtEsroNDKNT.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PONSONBY REGATTA

(To the Editor.)

gm It will be in your recollection how the late Ponsonby Regatta was conducted, and the amount of dissatisfaction evinced by the public, and you will ask tho reason why, as the district is large and plenty of money can be, and is, subscribed by the willing residents to carry out their annual Regatta. I will give the reasons why, not of my own only, but of almost the entire re sidents of Ponsonby, and also a great many of the boating community of Auckland. First, the Committee appointed were not accustomed to carry out a Regatta success fully, as they were novices with the exception of two or three who were on the committee, and on whose shoulders the entire work wa3 thrown. The rest of the committee were ornamental, and contributed nothing towards the success, but rather otherwise ; (inasmuch as they did not possess any knowledge of how a Regatta ought to be carried out), but interfered with the mem bers ot the committee who did, and finally the whole work devolved on the two or three. Now it is impossible for two or three gentlemen alone to carry out a Regatta to a successful termination, and I object to see a committee elected who for the most part have no knowledge of the duties, aud trust to the knowledge of the few who do, to do all the hard work, and the younger mem bers do absolutely nothing, except exhibit themselves on board the Flag-ship and at entry night and payment of prizes. It has been spoken about so much, that it was thought the Ponsonby people would electa committee who wculd properly represent the district, that it somewhat takes the people by surprise that a better committee were not elected at the last meet ing. It may not be too late yet for a general meeting of subscribers to be con vened, and ask those elected to resign their office, and to appoint men who have a knowledge of Regattas, and, if I may say, better fitted to represent the rising district of Ponsohby, and make the Regatta of 1882 more successful than the last. If such were done, I feel sure that the Regatta of 1882 would be more satisfactorily carried out than the last. If, Mr Editor, you will call the attention of the public to this in your columns, as you are always in favour of forwarding sport 1 think that you will awake the Pon sonby residents to the fact that they have not given the attention they ought to the election of their Regatta Committee to carry out their Regatta next year. There are many old residents in the district who are well "calculated to represent Ponsonby, and who have a thorough knowledge of Regattas, who, I am sure, would act it asked ; among some of those I would name Jas. Dacre, Jos. Reos, Andrew Stewart, Captain Jno. McKeuzie, J. Stodart, senr., Walter Jones, T. Masefield, A. Devorc, and T. Peacock. If the races are not carried out better next year it will, I thiuk, bo the last time the Committee need ask for subscriptions, and it is not too late yet to elect a fresh Committee who will make an improvement. The present Committee Ido not think competent to carry out a Regatta successfully, although they may desire to do so, for the reason that they have not the experience.—l am, &c, r Ponsonby.

Ho returns on Wednesday. THE ASYLUM INQUIRY. The Cabinet have decided to grant £25 as honorarium to each of the Asylum Com missioners, but Messrs Woodward and Waring Taylor decline to accept any re muneration, and have returned the cheque's. Mr Whitnker has at last found bail, Dim will probably be released to-morrow, Mrs Kettle having signed a .discharge iv full for her salary, and procecdiugs on that head are accordingly falling to the ground. ! i\ umcrous applications have been received for tho post of superintendent, aud tele graphic intimation of others on the way , from the Australia* Colouies have beeu received. A Dnnedin applicant is believed to stand the best chance.

The Government have yet decided about Dr. iikac, but tho matter will probably come before the Cabinet to-morrow, as Dr. Skac's reply to the Commissioners report has at length beeu remedied.

It is probable that no prosecution against the officers of the Asylum will be proceeded with, as the Crown Prosecutor advises thcro not sufficient case to go to a jury.

THEATRE ROYAL.

" H.M.S. PINAFORE."

Gilbert and Sullivan's very popular comic opera was performed at the Theatre last nii-lit to a well-lilleil house. There is no work of its class so familiar to colonial audiences as this very recent development of buil'o music, aud its frequent repetition by different itiuerant troupes lias afforded ample opportunity for comparison, Tho public are, therefore, not disposed to bo content with mediocrity in its representa tion. Something more flattering than this must be predicated of the pcrformauce of last night, and yet it was uuequal aud ill balanced. To the singing and acting of Misses Martina and Leouora Simonsen and Signor Kiccardi, aud the laughter provoking by-play of Mcssis St. Clair aud Wentworth must be attributed the measure of success that was achieved. They not only sustained with ability tkeir own parts, but by their cxertious atoned to some ex tent for the manifest short-comings of the other members of the Compauy who played. The instrumentation was also a notable feature of excellence. Tho cast was as follows:-Hebe, Miss Frances Simonsen; Little Buttercup, Miss Leonora Simonsen ; Josephine, Miss Martina Simonsen; Sir Joseph Porter, Sigaor Kiccardi; (Japtniu Corcoran, Mr J. Craiu ; Ralph Kackstraw, Signor Bianchi; Dick Deadcye, Mr Eruest St. Clair; Bill Bobstay, Mr Wentworth. Miss Martinamadeau admirable Jofophiue. This young lady is possessed of a decided faculty for humorous display, and she ciught most happily the motive dictating the mock sentiment and incisive cynicism which pervade and mark every line of the libretto. Iv addition to this her siuging was agreeable aud effective. Her part iv the trio "Never Mind the Why aud Wherefore," was tendered with such suc cess that an encore was insisted on. Siguor Kiccardi is immeasurably the best ex pouent of the rOIe of Sir Joseph Porter who has ever appeared iv Auckland. He has completely identified himself with it, and the studied care and at the same time unaffected ease of his impersonation can hardly fail to strike tho spectator. It is a specialty of hi.. The varying tones and modulation of the voice, the carriage of tho iigurc, and, the gestures of ' the hands, all accord with tho conception which the artist has formed of the character to be' pourtrayed, and they all' assist in the attainment of consistency and effect. The vocnl abilities of the gentle man are too well known to require auy detailed reference. It will, therefore, suttee to say that he sf.ng with the fullest effect aud acted capitally. The " Admiral's Song " waa encored. Miss Leonora Simon sen s Little Buttercup was another excellent portraiture. Here make-up was good, her stage " business " was clever, and her voice was heard to advantage iv the vocal passages. It was a piece of cruel irony on the part of the manager to cast Signor Bianchi for such a thoroughly uncongenial and unsuitable part as that of Ralph hack straw. In the ordinary sentimental English opera he succeeds indifferently enough, but \ in a lyrical satire like " Piuafore," where so much depends upon verbal emphasis, clear enunciation, judicious action and tact, he is completely at fault. The swelling and pedantic language in which the sailor expresses his love for the Captain's daughter proved a trying ordeal for the unfortunate Signor; buthestruggled, or rather, floundered, through it must; re solutely. The audience was tickled, but hardly in the way the writer of the lines in tended. Still we must confess that the gentleman, unfairly overweighted as he was, made a better Ralph than we had ex pected. He improved in the second act. Captain Corcoran did not receive justice at the hands of Mr Cram. Mr St. Clair as Dick Dcadevc, and Mr Wentworth as the boatswain's mate, are both entitled to laud atory recognition. They contributed greatly by their antics and speech to the humour of the situations in which they appeared, while their disguise was complete enough to defy detection. Miss Frances Simonscu's Hebe was only fair. The choruses and ensembles were uncertain in time, but for all that "went" well. There was some gag, and at least one vocal interpolation, viz!, the boatswain's song at the opening: of the second act, but as they seemed to hud favour with the audience they may be excused as pardonable. "Piuafore ' Will certainly " run " another night, and pro bably would " draw " for the remainder of the week.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Mr John Goldie, carpenter, of Vincent street, was found dead in his bed this morn ing, about S o'clock, by Mrs Jeffrey who lives next door. Information was at once conveyed to MrsMenzies, the only surviving daughter ot deceased, and who has for a, long time been in the daily habit of ministering to his wants and household. Dr. Mac Donald was sent for, and found life ex tinct, and considered that death must have taken place two or three hours previously, although the body was quite cold. Deceased had been poorly for some days, and yes terday he seemed to have lost his appetite altogether, still his daughter did not think that death was so near. Mr Goldie was in his 62nd year. He was quite an old identity, haviug passed thirty-seven years in this province. He was formerly in partnership with the late Mr Russell ; was an intimate, friend of the laic Alexander Black, and a man of good reputation. I'or many years lie has been connected with the Alexandra-street Primitive Methodiste, and was the senior officer of that church He was a total abstainer, and a member of the Havelock Lodge of Good Templars. Dr. Macdonald is ot oninion that heart disease was the cause of death.

Miss Hatsie Deul, a sister-in-law ot Dr. Aylworth, of this city, has not oaten a morsel of food for forty-four days, nor had sho spoken one word for three years. She abstained from food on the ground that it was her religious duty to do to and from talking for the same reason. The persuasion of her friends is useless and she is slowly wasting away. Miss Duel is (ifty-two years of age aud has always been highly respected.

A PRISON TRAGEDY.

Two Convicts Found Dead in Their Cell-Signsof a Terrible Struggle —"This is the Third Math I have Killed."

Philadelphia, March 16,1881

A mysterious tragedy was enacted this morning within the gloomy prcciuts of the Eastern Penitentiary in this city, the msti tution mado famous by Charles Dickens in "American Notes." John Mcßndc, aged 49 years and John Pfeiffer, agod 23, were found dead in tho cell which they occupied together. The body of Mcßride was lying prone upou the floor, with arms extended, and his protruding tongue _r.d oontorted features gave indication that he had met a violent death. Around his neck was tied a picco of the bed sheet and a half yard of thin twine, which had sunk deep into the flesh. His body was covered with bruises, evidently inflicted with tho heel of a boot. Pfeiffer, his supposed murderer, hung limp aud lifo less from a gas bracket. A noose had been improvised by tightly twisting the selvage of the bed sheet and Ins kuecs almost touched the floor. This was tho horrifying discovery made by Overseer McOuigan when he went his morning round at seven o'clock. AN AWFUL CONFESSION. Warden Towoscud at once instituted an examination, but could form no theory as to whether it was a case of double suicide or one of murder followed by suicide, although the latter hypothesis is sup ported by a remarkably dramatic incident which took place during the investigation. A small slate is furnished to all of tho pri soners, on which they may write requests or make complaints. Ou the slate found in Pfeiffer aud Mcßride's cell were scrawled " Thi* is the third man I have kiUed." No signature followed and the words were nearly illegible, as if the writer had repented of his horrible confession and had wished to erase it. Whose writing was it t Whose the secret? Indications of a terrible struggle between two men were apparent. A deep cut was found on the right wrist of Pfeiffer and his body boro many marks of rough handling. The resident physician of the institution gave it as his opinion that lite had been extinct in both bodies for at least three hours. THE WARDEN PERPLEXED Your correspondent called on Warden Townsend last night but that official was utterly at sea as to how or when the awful occurrence took place. " I know no more about it than you do, said he. " Both men were well behaved, and I have never heard any reports of their quarrelling. When the overseer made his rounds last night they were alive and well, and this morning they arc dead. Whether Peiffor first killed Mcßride, and then hung himself, or whether they agreed to go into eternity together, is more than wo can determine at this stago of tho investiga tion. Mcßride was sorving out a terra of two years for an outrageous assault upon a little girl named Mary Colligan, whoso parents live at 21? * Carlton-strcet, a miser able little alley, near Twenty-first and Cal lowhill streets. When the father was in formed of Mcßride's tragic death last night he expre«sed the greatest satisfaction. "The villanous scoundrel," said he, clenching his fist angrily; "the grave is the only place for such as he, and I'm glad he's dead, for I should have killed bim on the day of Ihc crime, so help me God, if they hadn't kept him out of my sight. I'm glad he is out of the way." As no corporal punishment ■of any description is allowed to be inflicted on the prisoners in the Penitentiary, the bruises on the bodies of the two men must have been inflicted by each other. A thorough investi gation by the coroner will, in all prob ability, throw some additional light on the mystery.

SIR GEORGE GREY AT THE THAMES.

It is said to have been a picture to see the twinkle in Sir George Grey's left eye when he solemnly complimented the Thames people upou their foibearance iv " Never thinking of themselves at all' in the matter of Government pickings, The beauty of the joke was heightened by the appearance on the platform Of the portly figures of Wilkinson, the Mayor, aud Broclie, the County Chairman, the indefatigable McCullougb, the preserving Ehrenfried, Speight, and Adam Porter, who —singly or in conjunction—have worried to the verge of distractiou every Cabinet Minister who has ruled New Zealand for the last ten lyears. The Thames is notorious for hnving'picked up the cast-off mantle of the "Sturdy Beggar" of Wel lington-Fitzherbert. Not a session goes by without[a deputation being despatched to Wellington lobby. The announcement of a Miuis'terial visit to Auckland is the signal for the nppearnnco in town of a number of the old familiar phiz's from Hauraki, and one Minister tells with great gusto bow these modest Thames youths, having asked for every thing they could Ipossibly think of, at last begged for a few old plans that were lying about. Tho Thames people have earned among the membors of tho House of Repre sentatives a reputation ot tho champion cadgers of New Zealand, and it was too bad of their member, who knows it very well to poke "borax" at them iv that un feeling way.
