honour it. Mr Brabant, K.M., in giving judgment, said :— "The Court is of opinion, from the evidence, that Clark and Rander son wero both agents for Ford and Shakes peare—that on those grounds plnintiil can not recover; further, both Uanderson and th«j prospectors appear to me to have been willing to complete as soon as) they were satisfied of the bona fides of the transac tion, but this was prevented by the cheque having been stopped. Ido not think lam wrong in remarking that the evidence shows that both plaintiff and defendant have been misled by the inconsistent conduct of Mr Clark, but I »m unable to see that defen dant has committed any tortuous act."— Plaintiff was nonsuited, with cats, £9 93.

ST. MATTHEW'S BAZAAR.

IN opening the Bazaar yesterday afternoon, His Lordship the Bishop said that it had been the wish of both Mrs Cowie and him self to help in some substantial way, but their engagements had been 30 many and so imperative, that it had been impossiblo for them to give the measure of assistance which they desired. Somo people, he had noticed, did not take the interest that others did in connection with Church work, and some misuDdersta'uding had arisen in consequence. Thore were causes connected with the Church for which he would not like to sco bazaars established and money raised in that way. But when the objects of a bazaar was, as in the case of the one he was opening, to provide funds for the liquidation of a debt incurred In the exten sion of the Church, the orection or repair of a mission chapel, Kchoolhou.se, and clergy man's residence, or anything of a similar character designed for the parochial good, he thought that there would be very few who would withhold their sym.' pathy and help. Indeed, he would be sur« prisod that any had refused to give any holp when the object was the improvement of the parochial machinery. Ho one could doubt that a mission chapel and school bouse were important parts of such machinery, and it was necessary above all things that the clergyman should be provided with a comfortable house, so that his health should not suffer. The objects of a bazaar in such a caso were thoroughly good, and such as all the parish ioners must sympathise with. Unfortu nately, the weather of that day, though f;ood for the country, was bad for the bazaar. t would improve, ho wover, and he hoped thai the willing labours of tho promoters of the affair would be amply rewarded. In pio 'portion as the number of persons who had helped in the work was email, the greater credit was due to them for their labours, and therefore he had to congratulate the persons—and especially the ladies —who had worked for the bazaar upon their courage and perseverance, and ho trusted that they would not be put off from pursuing the ob jects they had in view by an apparent want of sympathy in some quarters. Them win reason for believing that the bazaar would yield everything that could be expected from it—that as hitherto there would be peace and harmony in the church, and that the results of the effort would encourage the officers to go on extending and improving the machinery of the parish. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather, there was a fair num ber of visitors at the bazaar in the course of the evening, and as the ladies were unre mitting in their endeavours to dispose of the exhibits, a good many spies were effected. The patrons oE the affair need not expect to be able to resist tho solicitations of the fair 7cndore to bny, for the inscrip tion over the door, "All Cash Abandon Ye who Enter Here," proclaims their resolu tion, and gives warranty to all legitimate efforts to increase the ex penditure of the visiting public. The stranger certainly complains of being taken unawares if he disregards tho warn ing legend, and once he passes within the dreaded portals he must resign himself to Ida fate or fortune as it may variously be regarded. There was no lack of amuse ment last night. An amusing farce called '' The Census " was enacted in the enter tainment room, while Mrs Jarley's Wax works, and the Royal Academy Exhibition "hugely surprised" and greatly ticketed the feelings of those who were curious enough to pay to see them. The biuaar was re-opened at three o'clock this afternoon, and so far appears to be more largely patronised than it was yester day. This evening a number of beautiful goods are to be disposed of on the art union principle, and then, in addition to the usual attractions, there will be some amateur theatricals as well. The bazaar will be open to-morrow, and Monday also, in consequence of the inclemency ot the opening day. The Artillery band will be in attend ance from eight p.m.

WESLEYAN DISTRICT MEETING.

Afternoon Session,

At the district meeting luncheon the ministers of the other Methodist Churches were present by invitation— Keys. Lone, Hodgßon, and Guy. Interesting post prandial addresses were delivered, a very general desire being expressed for the union of the various branches of the Metho. clist Church in the colony, just as the different sections of the Presbyterian Church were here united as one organisation. Much saving of strength, and probably more effective work in many localities would result from union.—The Rev. S. Baker expressed his pleasure at being pre sent, and spoke oE what had been accom plished in Tonga Islands. He believed that their desire for political and ecclesias tical independence as a district was just.— The Key. Mr Hobbs, as an old veteran missionary, referred to the remarkable con trast there was between the state of things as at present existing and what they were when he first made the acquaintance of the Maoris on first coming to the country. Unsatisfactory as were the natives now in many respects, they were simply wild animals then. —The afternoon sitting was formally opened with singing and prayer by the Key J. Wallis.—Martin Waite, of Kaipara, gave a record of his work amongst his people daring the year. He was then orally examined in theology, scriptural history, &c, through the Key. Mr Budale, and was cordially recommended to pass as a, probationer in his year,—lt was resolved that Hauraki Paul, student of the Three Kings, be appointed to the work of the ministry this year.-Mr Baddle, who had iust visited the LaKe district, described the Btate of the natives about Kotorua as nearly quite neglected, having, at present, no Christian ordinances. They were, to a deplorable extent, the victims of in temperance. The newspaper lately published the fact that two natives had been mysteriously fonnd drowned in warm eprines one morning. There was no mystery about the matter. He had seen one of these victims lato on the previous evening, maddened with diink. Everywhere In the districts the Maoris were levying black-mail, and spending the cash in drink. —Mr Slade reported on the state of the native work in the Raglan district.-rlt was resolved, on the motion of Mr Lawry, aeconded by Mr Gittos, that a native minis ter be appointed to Jiaglanand Waipa.—Mr Gittos reported on the work in the Kaipara district. The general aspect of the work was favonrable, but the lack of persistent effort on the part of the natives very evi dently deprived them of many of the higher advantages of Christianity and civilization. The extent to which they approved ofaU that was good and desirable was everything that conld be wished, but they failed in the < continuous energyneeded to raise them to the possession of what they so readily admitted. In the report of yesterday's proceedings it was omitted to state that the Rev. H. Bnll was appointed District Meeting Secretary, the Rev. H. JDewsbury.Assistant Secretary, and Key. W. Oliver, Press Reporter; also, that the Secretary was requested to write to the Rev. J. Warren assuring him of tneir sympathy in his continued illness. JFEIDA-2 MoRHING SmiNGj

The Secretary read a portion of Scripture, and the Rev. HV Dewsbury engaged in nraver The Revs. E. W, Ramtska and Wl WarenaPewa took their seats. Mr G. T. Marshall a candidate tor the ministry, was then subjected to a searching viva vocc ex amination in theology; his trial sermon, and written literary, classical, and theo. loeical examination reported on, and after careful deliberation the following resolu tion, moved by Rev. T. Buddle.seconded by Rev G. Bond, was unanimously passed : "That Mr Marshall be received as a student to receive further training for the work of theministry."-Kameka, a probationer in his fourth year, and Wi Warena Pewa, a JrobaSoner inh'is third year for the native ministry, then appeared before tho DUtrict Meeting for oral examination. The examination was conducted by the Rev. W. Morley, the Rev. T. Buddie trans lating. The examination was upon their Biblical and theological knowledge, their Pastoral and pulpit work. They gave a

) full account of the people under their charge, which indicated considerable moral progress among the members of those tribes. On the whole the answers were satisfactory, and gave evidence of studious application on their part, and they both passed in their respective year.
