Mr SiUHDEES argued that Otago .and, Canterbury obtained votes for keeping an. unemployed population amongst them, and thay came to that House and got repreaen. tatives for these very men, while they re fused to give representation to the Maori who was the owner of the soil and had been born on the land. On these grounds, he argued that the Maori population ought to be included in the basis.

Captain Colbeck complained that the North had not bench" tted by tho Public Works expenditure, and the increase of re presentation, for the South would aggravate that state of thing's: He considered that the Maoris should be included in tne basis of population, i., , .-,■: : ; >,«..•; The House roRO at 1.5 a.m.

WADE SMUGGLING CASES.

THE RE-HEARING.

(Before K. C. Barstow, Esq., K.M.)

TilE: re-hearing .of the charges against Adam Emrili and Richard Folkinghorne of being knowingly concerned in dealing in certain goods liable to duties of Customs, to wit, a certain quantity of brandy, with in tent thereby to defraud, at the Wade, on or about the,month of June, 1880, was con tinued after we went to press yesterday. Mr Laishley appeared for the Collector of Customs, Mr Hesketh for Emrili, and Mr Lusi; "for Folkinghorne. . Thomas Atkin, who was in the old Wade Hotel on the day before the fire, said the bar looked well stocked for a coun try public-house. He left in the afternoon for.1. Whangaparoa,: and on' his return on Monday the hotel was burned. William Morton, recalled by Mr Laish-. ley, 'deposed that on the night of the 4th of March he took two jars to his place at Liica?' (Jrepk, and plaited them immdiately between his house and the road, They, re mained in the plant until they were taken away by Constable Moar. "Witness showed i him where they were. v . The witness was cross-examined at some length as to the roads to the plant to Lucas' Creek;. He had circulated a report that he had. seen a ghost in the Lucas' Creek bush, ten1 months ago; and that he had not been into it since. He did it for fun, because some people believed it, but he had been in the bush scores of times since then, day and night. The case was then adjourned until this morning.

THIS DAY.

The case was resumed at 10.20 a.m. James William Moar, sworn, deposed that he was a constable in the Armed Con stabulary. Knew the two prisoners. In consequence of instructions received from the head of his department in reference to an anonymous letter received, he made cer tain1 enquiries. The letter produced was the anonymous communication referred to. - Mr Heaketh objected to the admission of this evidence unless it was connected with the defendants., Mr Laishley said they put it in simply to show how the enquiry arose. .;,: ~. i His Worship said they diverged into so: injiny different things in the course of this enquiry, and'he hardly knew what, was and what was not pertinent. Mr, Laishley said the letter referred to one of itie defendants—-Polkinghorne—and he'contended that he' was: entitled' to put him in-... • . , ~. Mr liusk said, that the fact of R. Polking home being mentioned in the letter did not connect him with it. . His Worship considered that it might be put, in to,show why the peosecution was instituted. . ••. ' .■ . .' Mr Hesketh contended that this gave the defence a right to ascertain how the inquiry was commenced, and who gave the informa tion. '

His Worship said, of course, if any cvi. deuce was given, the whole cause of the origination of the 'inquiry must be..dis closed. ■• :■' ■ ' '•'■■'■ •■'■•' ■ ' ': .:■.■'..- ■ Mj'Pardy also thought the letter was not adniissableV . .

Ha took bint' on' one side from -the workmen, and ■ made inquiries from him in reference to what.tobk place on the. Wade River on the 4ta March. He told him that about 10 o'clock at night he had heard the boat on the river. . Thinking it was someone going to uteal his fruit, he drew Emrili's atten tion to the fact of the boat being on [the riVer;1: ■Adam' and himself then took his bq'jit1 and...went, on : the river. While at the entrance to Fisherman's Creek, . he met another boat containing two men. He/said that was nearly opposite his resi dence.; SomeU words' took place between them and the men in the other boat, and he said that he aid Emrili took hold of the' boat which they met on the river. There appeared to him to be a number of cases in the stem of the boat, and also what hs be lieved to be a barrel, with a coat thrown over it, in the bows of the boat. . He said he'had afterwards been told that there had been a number of j ars. He also told wit ness ,' that one of [ the men in the boat was Win; Morton, of Lucas' Creek, and the other man he believed at that time to be Nicholas Casey, of the, Wade, but that he was afterwards told by Emrili that it;-witt■'William' Wilson, of Dairy Flat.: They departed—Morton and Wilson coming up the nyer-and himself and Emrili re turning. He, said he urged Adam to fol low. the other boat in order to see where it went to, but, he refused. . Polkinghorne also told : him that they had asked Morton and .Wilson where they had been, but they did not give any satisfactory answer. , Oh. that day, he went with Polkirighorne, who showed him where the plant had. been, and stated that on the morning after the meeting on the river, he had gone there and found, by the marks, that the ground had been freshly, dug up. The' place was nearly opposite Polking horne's house. The hole was'• filled np when he went. ' At one end there were marks showing where cases had stood. Admitting that it was one case in depth, it would hare held the two cases and two jars. That'would be the sizeof the hole assuming it to be one case in depth. There was also some wicker-work lying there which had evidently been broken off ortorn bff.in ; the removal of the jars from the hole. . Polking horne picked up two handles, but not in the presence or witness. He handed them.over to him with the explanation that he fonnd them on the day after the meeting on the river.., Polkinghorno told him that he was catting fascines at that spot -with Moffat in January and - Febrnary, ■ and every day,.. , they, sat.,., on top. of, -.the, mound where.the plant had been in order to eat theii lunoh.,. Witness asked him why be didn't iniorm the police about seeing the' boat on the river, and he said that everyone to whom he had mentioned the matter told him that nothing-could come of it. On the itecond night he ; was np, r tfye Wade he saw Morton, and in consequence of a conversa; tion he had with1 M6rtq_n}he wentto Wil liam Wilson, and obtained certain state-' nients from : him. • He subsequently saw Robert Wi'son, and then proceeded to Lucas' Creek and took possession of the two jars produced :in . Court.., He. called for them at Morton's Louse, and asked for the jars mentioned in his statement; Morton took him to a place in the ti-tree near the i gully, where he found both jars; They were' concealed in the titree: He did not remove them from .'the(place where .they were at that time. They appeared to have been lying there for sometime* ■■:> Subsequently, he removed .the jars to the water-police. boat,in company with Constable Strathearo. The jars produced were those he; took, from Lucas",, Creek.'...' He arrested the prisoners on Sunday, 11th June, in com pany with Mr Pardy,; and Constable Strathearn, at the Wade. They were charged, and then taken to Auckland.. They were brought before the Court on the 14th June last. Ke received a bottle of brandy from William Wilson, on June 10th, at Dairy Flat, near his father's resi dence. He produced it in Court on the day of the trial, and had not seen it since. Remembered Kelly'r hotel being destroyed by fire. Visited the scene of the fire on the following day. Examined thelruins, and discovered that everything with the exception of two or three articles was. des troyed. Found a gold stud, sewing machine, cash box, the remains of a large family I Bible, burnt clothing and other things I amongst the de"bri». There were plenty of I bottles and iron hoops which had been on \ small barrels lying about. To Mr Hesketh: Put such questions to Morton as showed that he had heard some thing of his movements on the night of the 4th March. He searched Maurice Kelly's new house. He saw cases similar to those produced at Lawton's on the Bth June. He told Liwtbh to keep possession of them, as they bore indications of having been in the ground. There was a fourth case now njJßsing which bore even stronger indica tions, of having been in the ground than those produced. He was told hy Lawton where the cases came from. The cases weie *üb»equently taken charge of by the Co8to»s authorities. He knew the roads in the district very well. -He had been from Fishermat^s Creek to the Wade. He had I been there ..on horseback. Polkingborne I was with Wn,i on foot. He went back from j the plant to the- Wade. Thought the dis -1 ance was about four miles. There was a I -ater-hole close to the plant, and signs as 1 vhe «um-aiggorff had been in the locality. £ Hiam Wilson tr-H him on the Wade and ft&L::.' ra Koad^r' _ ythroe wiles from his

house, that he had a bottle and a half of the brandy left. Witness told him he would call for it next day, and he got one bottle. , To Mr Laishley : In consequence of in sinuations made by Folkinghorne he searched Maurice Kelly's house, but did not find any support for these insinuations. ;To Mr Luak: He did search the new

house, where Maurice Kelly bad a large quantity of stock for opening the new house. He searched the house with the object of seeing if he could find any of the liquor which Polkinghorne said was in the boat. He did no.t opqa any of the cases. . . .' ' , Constable John Stratheam deposed to 'having assisted atthe arrest of the prisoners on Sunday, June! 15f,h; on j a charge of smuggling liquor. They were told of the charge, i v,-.-, ■ , . • , • .•.-.•■■ ■• ','.',, . .' . To Mr Hesketh : Mr Pardy stated the change to them,,. ~, ~. ...,,7, ~,, . Mr Hesketh.:.Are you suie. that they were not told that the charge against them: was of being accessories afcer the fact of the burning of theiWa'de Hotel. ' Constable Strathearn : The first I heard of it was at the station when I returned to Auckland. r y : Examination'continued : That was not the charge on which they were arrested. He did read the charge over to them in the police cells two days after .aeir arrest. That was in order that there should be no misunderstanding.. He had no warrant for the arrest. Mr Pardy said he did have a conversa tion with the prisoners in reference to the burning of tba Wade Hotel, but it ■n&a with the object of ascertaining some information regarding that occurrence. ' This was the case for the prosecution, Mr Hesketh asked that the caße 6e dis missed, on the grounds (1) that the offence, such as was laid in the information, was not an offence under the 156 th section; and (2) that the evidence had failed to, support it. The charge was that Adam and Polking horne were guilty of a breach of the 156 th section by being concerned in concealing uncustomed goods, while the section in question only applied to persons engaged in or concerned in shipping or unshipping goods liable to forfeiture. 'J. hero was nothing about concealing in it. The fact of the information simply alleging that the defendants were concerned in concealing was insuillcieut, .It was incumbent on the prosecution to show how and in what way :he goods were liable to forfeiture before the information could be good. Before an offence could be created under the 156tU section, it must be shown how it became an offence. There was nothing to show that the goods were dutiable or liable to for feiture,'

Mr Laiehlcy said an application was made to the Court that the re-heariug of this case should be beard on its merits, in order that, if possible, should be able, to es tablish their innocence under the Act of 1867. How the evidence was so over whelming that there was no escape for the defendants.

Mr Heaketh objected to Mr Laishley speaking on the merits of the case. Ho knew nothing of what had gone before. He would, however, if allowed, address the: Court upon evidence. ?

His Worship said he should have to take time to consider objections and as to whether the information would not have to go to the Supreme Oourt before it could be quashed. Mr Laishley submitted that the informa tion was good, and such shall be considered sufficient where the offence' was clearly defined. and set forth. There woro.no details necessary in these counts, and in proof, thereof Mr Laishley quoted , several' examples from the Act, merely saying "evading Customs duties," without special details. Such, he con tended, would be bad outside this special Act; but in the present instance perfectly good, as details were not necessary. He had followed the wording of the Act. No objec tion .could be taken either in substance or in form; /It is expressly provided ', that defen dants should bear the onus of the forfeiture of; the goods. The goods were liable to for feiture, and.it.was thrown upon defendants, according to section 213, to shew that they were not liable to forfeiture, being lawfully imported, or. unshipped. He believed, fur ther, that although the information might be bad it could mot be quashed by the Supreme Court. He had an express autho rity on this point. ; Mr.Heskettt said there was no ievidende to/ show that the goods were liable to for feiture, and His Worship could not convict on an offence which was not mentioned in the information. The burden of proof did not come in until it was shewn that the goods were 1iab1e.,•.. ; , ; ,. ... -~ His Worship 'said the defendant's peti tion had been sent to Government for a rehearing, and which was granted. Also, that the men were to be liberated on re , cognizances, but he had no power to .liberate'them; and he wired back to that effect. It was left for his Worship to draft a recognizance for prisoners to appear for a rehearing. .:.._, The Court adjourned until two o'clock. Mr Hesketh in addressing the Court in defence of his client, said he would confine himself mainly Jto the evidence, and sub mitted that Wilson and the other man might be regarded as accomplices, and in fact the other witnesses concerned in the concealing and carrying the goods liable to forfeiture, the cridencs of every one of the witnesses for the Crown shews that they were more, or less accomplices ; the question was,' did the present defendants, on the 4th day of March, sell those spirits to others? Morton bought grog which he had not seen, did not-know where It was, or when, or how; it was to be delivered. Mr Hesketh went over the chief points of evidence which have already appeared, and said:the theory of the case was downright conspiracy. (Left sitting,)

CH AMBER OF COMMERCE.

A special meeting of the Chamber of Com merce.for the. purpose .of considering the reclamation question, was held this after, noon. .There were prenent :—Messrs Me. MillSn (Chairman), J. M. Clark (Mayor), Aickin, J. Reid, R. H, Stevenson, J. P. King, J. .Newman, E. leaacs, F. Battlcy, J. Lamb, P. Comiskey, F. Larkins, J. Cos grave, J. M. Dargaville, D. H. McKenzie, W. R. Waddell, (i.. Harper Carr, T. Pea cock, G. P. Pierce^ L. D. Nathan, A. Stewart, L. A, Nathan, C. B. Stone, Jj\ IS. Compton, J. C, Firth, and Dr. Campbell. The Chairman, in opening the proceed ings, said that the meetiag had been called for the consideration of matters in connec tion with the reclamation of works. The seawall was now in a fair way of progress, but" it was equally necessary that what was-, known, as the intake should' be simultaneously filled np. The only way to' ■ achieve that end-' would be to keep urging it upon the Government. It was a matter of regret lihat Auckland had not amongst her representatives such a man as Mr Macandrew, who was ever ready to advance the interests of his province and city to the best of his ability. A great deal of apathy seemed to prevail among the Auckland members..

Mr J. Lamb said that the members seemed to have a great deal of sympathy for the Irish Land League, but very little for local interests. At the next general elections •an endeavour should be made to secure men who would devote greater time and attention to the interests of their 'constituents. The members had been twice requested by circular to urge the matter npon the notice of the Government, and Mr F. A.. Whitaker, was the only gentleman who had seen fit to reply, fie. asked that the correspondence on the sub ject might be read. The Secretary accordingly read this cor riespondence. '■■'- Mr Thomas Peacock moved "That an urgent request be sent to the members of the Auckland district to form a deputation to the Government, to ascertain their views' with a view of pushing on the reclama tion." Mr Bargaville thought that the members after snubbing them were not entitled to much consideration, and apart from that altogether he did not attach much value to deputationising, He was in favourof a message being sent direct to the Premier. Mr J. M. Clark seconded the motion. He was inclined to think. that provision bad been made for finish ing the reclamation, for on looking over the estimates he bad noticed that a large sum had been allocated for the com pletion or. the Waikato railway, and that sum. he believed, was meant for thp re.

' Mr Lamb was inclined to think differ-, ently. The District Engineer had told him£ some time ago that part of the Waikato' railway would have to be reconstructed, and the vote referred to was doubtless in; tended for this purpose. | Mr Joseph Newman said that he deemed it right last week to send to the Premier on this subject, a telegram to the following effect:—"Anßor of the Auckland people: fairly aroused at no provision being maple for the extension of the railway to the wharf," _?be reply he received was i-r " S°rry to hear that the anger'of the people, likely: to ibe aroused. No. reason for-itj seeing that amount put on estimates'for public works in the Auckland district larger thin any other. Provision made for ex tending the railways, which will be" pushed on."- ' •■ '":" '■'. :v:l : Tie meeting was too indefinite to sup port Mr Clark's' conclusion that the reclamation works were provided for. The motion was then put and carried. Mr J. M. Clark then proposed, and it was seconded "That, this Chamber com municate with the Government, urging the necessity of the railway terminus reclamation being proceeded with simultaneously with the sea-wall, and that tenders be called for the said work without delay.

The motion was carried,

It was also agreed, upon the motion of Mr F. Larkins, seconded by Mr E. Isaacs, that, failing, the receipt of a satisfactory reply, the Committee should have power to request the Mayor to convene a public meeting. . :: ': : Mr Aickin drew attention in a forciablo ! speech, to the advisability of some ex pression of- opinion being made, with respect to Mr Mc&ndrew's , endeavour, to secure direct steam communication with England, the effect. of which would be to supplant the present service to the detriment of Auckland. 'He therefore m6ye,d: " That this Chamber fails to re co»nise any advantages likely to arise from a direct steam service With the colony not. already provided for by existing services,: and that the nominal advantages claimed by the promoters of direct steam com'muni* cation would be so question able as to make the large subsidy necessary for that pur pose unjustifiable," ;Mr Thomas Peacock seconded; . ■

Mr K. H. Stevenson, Mr J. M. Clark, and Mr Dargaville spoke against the reso lution as inappropriate at the present time, seeing that the only action yet taken had been to appoint a committee to enquire into the matter, and that it was unlikely that anything would be done this, session.

Mr Clarke therefore proposed as an amendment, and Mr Stevenson seconded, "That the further consideration of the matter be deferred by the Chamber until the Committee which had been ap pointed by the Souse of Kcpresentdtives had reported." Mr Clark thought that lit the meantime, the Committee of the Cham ber should collate information on the sub ject for transmission to our members. The Chairman mentioned that Sir Geo. Grey had wired for information on the matter.

In View of this request, the amendment was withdrawn and the motion passed. It was further resolved, on the motion of Mr Clark,sec6nded by Mr Larkins,' " That the committee be requested to compile data supporting the information now ex pressed, and forward the same to Sir Geo, Grey," The following resolutions were also carried, after a short discussion :—■ (1) By Mr Lamb—"That, in the opinion of , this Chamber,* a sub sidy of £5000 |be placed on tho estimates to provide for an extended steam service to the South Sea Islands." (2>) "Thatithis Chamber urges upon the Government the necessity of authorising, by an Order-in- Council, the construction of a large dock in the Auckland Harbour, on the site recommended by the Harbour Board, so that the preparation of the 'site may be at once commenced.

ST. SEPULCHRE'S MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIA TION.

Thic first mooting of the second session o( this Association was held last evening in the old ohuroh, Bymondß-atreet, the preaident, B. T. Dudley, in the ohair. The meeting was largely attended by..members and parishioners, and opened with prayer and a pianoforte dnet by Mies Brown and Miss K. Gilflllan. The Rev the president, delivered an excellent inaugural address, and oommor.oad by congratulating the members on Betting the use of the ohuroh lor their meetings, whioh was more comfortable and convenient than the small room below whioh they had previously oooopled. He had not much to do with Mutual Improvement Societies practically, although he regarded the church as one great Mutual Improvement Society for the mutual benefit of mankind. Mr Dudley gave the definition of Dr Harvey Goodwin, Bishop of Carlyle, also the nut nor of Kcce Homo, on the subject, the former repre- '■ seriting the first meettaa of the apostles as the' greatest oo operative aooiety the world had ever seen: th» latter had given a somewhat differ ent definition, as a struggle against vice and poverty. He (Mr Dudley), regarded the Christ tlahchoroh in the light of a great Mutual Im provement Society, with a large sphere of work, inoluding every phase of usefulness. The pro i Beat society had for its aims (1) The improve ment of its members in knowledge. It was a' reooguised duty to improve in knowledge by all means. If oiir charity is to be enlightened, how oan wo do bo without we improve in know ledge? Wo Bhcrald road the leesona of history, and be abreast of the times, h'oientiflc know ledge was the'handmaid of Christian know ledge; the day had gone past for antagonism between the two. (2). Improvement in the methods of communicating our knowledge. Ueorge Stephenßon got worsted in argument, until a friend (Sir Wra. ITollett) with the gift of the gab.took np his views. Even in this oountiy we found that men of eloquence influenced tbs greatest and most intellectual audiences. How often we find our fellow-men in the wrong but did not know to convince them?1 Thiß would be largely got over by the work of, the'1 society, 3rd. Improvement in the manners of the members, teaching them to bear and for bear, courtesy, and how to conduct public business with despatob. Confußion often arose at public meetings through the absence of this knowledge. For the success of the society it waa necessary that it should have the hearty and sustained support of those for whom it was intended. Mr lludley elaborated these princi pal aims of the St; Sepulchre's Society, and urged upon the young men to be coretul and painstaking in the'preparation of their papers and recitations, and he hoped that all who could spare the time would countenance the meetings, whioh they intended to hold weekly instead of fortnightly, as heretofore. Persons who did not wish to become active members, might give their support by being honorary members. He hoped also that others who might feel-that they had acquired sufficient knowledge from the society, would still'con tinue their support for the encouragement and help ot the younger members, A library was needed, and ho trusted that wonld be ad-ded in due time. The programme for the ensuing session 'was a most interesting one, conslstinct of debates, historical essays by members.pnd seve ral lectures by older members, and friends of intellectual progress. The address was f allot sonnd advice, and was listened to with due at tention. At the olose a voto of thanks to the President was proposed by Mr Kwington in a speech of numerous character, in which he told a story of a teapot presentation at the' Queen's Redoubt. The reoipient in thanking his iriends could get no farther than "beautiful teapot," " splendid teapot," but ha had not oeen a mem ber of a debating society. He also explained Tom Hood's illustration of " Bear and Forbear." The vote was seconded by Mr Shirley, and car ried by acclamation.. The Programme was as follows:—song, " Morning Greeting," Miss Bleazard: song,. " Jack's yarn," Mr (5. Smyth; song, " Guardian Angel," Miss F. Blades: song, " what bells are those so soft and clear. Miss Ball; pianoforte 8010, Miss C. Dickson; song. "The Midship mite." Mr G. Shirley; song, " Spinning," Miss K. Gilflllan; eonpr, "Golden Days." Miss Rid ingß; pianoforte solo, Miss Gilflllan; song, "Polly," Mr'Shirley; sohgi "The Gauntlet," Mr G. Smyth. The singing of the young ladies generally, were above the average of amateur concert singing, particularly the songs by Miss Bleazard, Miss Ball, Miss Blades, Miss Gilflllan and Miss Ridings. Mr V. B. Rice, accompanied the majority of the vocalists' with great ability. Mr Gamble.in a wel> arranged speech, proposed a vote of thanks to the lady vocalists and instru mentalists, which, on being seconded by Mr Ussher, was carried unanimously. The presi dent announced that the Bishop, (Dr Cowie) had kindly consented to give a lecture in that place on Kriday evening, to which a small charge would be made towards making the building. comfortable. The -Bishop's subject would be. ""Wy cliff, the Pioneer of the Reformation." for ap Bishop Selwyn was wont to say, "In we are and on we must." A pleasant evening closed with the National Anthem.
