THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT.

As a desire for information on this subi'ect bns iioen expressed, and it is somewhat difficult to procure, and exceedingly con flicting when obtained, wo have culled tho following from recently published utter jinces: —

The Se'ocfc Committee of the Houso of (/imiHOUH on the Contagious Diseases Acts issued their report early last month, after an inquiry which has extended over a period almost unprecedented in tbe history of Parliamentary coinoiitteos, The com miltcc, in their report, express the belief that tbc Acts have diminished the ovil they were intended to rijmcdy. Tlioy reborn lueml the continuance of the Acts where already in force; but while they believe that, if prsciictl results alone were to he considered, the Acts might be extended with excellent effect, they do not, in face of the repugnance felt against them, especially by Nonconformists, noil in face of the cnaractcr rather than extent of the hostile opinion, recommend such extension. The "London Times" of August Bth says:— " Tho annual report of the Assistant Com missioner of Police for the Metropolis on the operation of these Acts in 18S1 has been published as a Parliamentary paper. Lieu tenant-ColonelPcarsonstates tnat the police specially employed under the Acts have discharged their duties to his entire satis faction, and, with one exception, no charge of exceßS or violation of duty has been brought to his notice. The case alluded to Was tally investigated at the time, and the constables concerned wore romored from the district. Whenever a chance exists of reclaiming a woman, every ellort is made bcfoio she ia brought under the Acts ; and after she has signed the voluntary submis sion form ihc opportunity is still given her of returning to her friends if she is desirous of doing so. Seroaty-four young giils between the ages of 12 and under 18, 86 women between the ages of 18 and under 30, and four above that age, who hud been found in bad company and improper places, have been rescued. In addition to the above, 32 youog persons between tho ages of 12 and under 18, 84 womon between tho ages of 18 and under 30, and 13 abive that ago, who had com menced aa immoral life, abandoned it on b-ing cautioned by tho police; their names were therefore not placed on the register. During the year 363 have loft tho districts under the protection of the Acts ; 51 have married, 234 have entered homes, 659 have been restored to friend.*, and 20 have died, making a total of 1,827 who have been re moved from the register."

At a recent meeting in Sydney on tho subject, the Kov. J, 0. Kirby stated that the Stato regulation aad licensing of vice sprang from Franco, where it had b.cn ill operation tot years in Paris. Tbc system also prevailed in Italy, Germany, Portugal, Austria, and Denmark, and, ia British dominions, in Hongkong, Singapore, Malta, Gibraltar, and 13 or 14 garrison towns And seaports in Great Britain and Ireland. In Great Britain tho Contagious Diseases Act bad been ia existence since IS6S. Too rev. gentleman quoted largely from recent authenticated statistics to show that in almost every case, both' on the Continent, in Hongkong, and in those English towns where the system was ia force, the unvary ing result was a steady increase in the par ticular form of vice which it was iatonded to check, particularly ia the navy.and among the civil population. In Aus tria no puch system existed, except at Brisbane, and it was noted and proved by official figures, that out of the 12 British naval stations, the ships on tho Australian station had the tmallestpro portion of disease, with the exception of the Caps of Good Hope. Professur Huxley, who was a member of a Royal CominUslon which enquired into the subject ia Eug land in 1871, stated that tho Contagious Dis<asos Acts were absolutely worthless for the physiological purpose for which they ware intendud, M. Lo Ccoui, who was head of the Police Department, reported that tho evil was increasing there, beyond nil proportions, notwithanding the State regulation, and numerous other authori ties gave similar testimony ia refer?nee to other continental countries. Six years ago the Paris Municipal Council appointed a committee to inquire into the working ot tho "morals police," a body specially charged with carrying out the system. After five years' inquiry the committee pre sented their report, the result of which wits that the council, by a majority of 143 to 7, refused to voto funds for the maintenance of the " morals' police," aad affirmed that the existence of that body endangered in dividual liberty without prod acing the re-, suits it was intended to realise in respect to the maladies incidental to the social evil. Mr Kirby added that he under stood that tho abolition of the whole system came into force on the lit January of the present year. That Paris, after a Ion;; inquiry, nnd a century's ex» perience, should abandon the State lio«n< mg system, should be to the minds of all a fact of tbo utmost importance.

Tho Chairman (Hon. Dr. Ken wick, Minister of Minos), fully endorsed the opinions expressed by the lecturer, adding tbat be bad arrived at that conviction only after careful investigation, and after long experience as a medical student ou the Continent and a medical practitioner in the golonies. Mr Justice Windeyer stated that some years ago, when In Parliament, he thoroughly investigated the whole subject with a view to legislative action, and al though he commenced with a predisposition to support legislative interference in the direction of State regulation, he became thoroughly convinced, as the result of his inquiries, that the system elsewhere had proved a total failure. The "Methodist Kecord " of April 7th, 1882, contains the following case, which appears to be authenticated by the " Dover Express " of M*y 12th : There is in one of tho narrow streets of Dover a small house which is let out to poor but honest {oik. Among the lodgrrs are an old man, once a fisherman, and his daughter. The old man, now eighty-two years of age, attends tbe Church of England Mission hall which is near at hand, Tho daughter ha 3 been bedridden Us twenty yeara. The parish authorities allow them each tho modest weekly sum o£ half-a-crown, Xwo deors away there live* a widow, hard-working anl respectable, who is also one of the Independent Order Of Goed Templars. With this widow there lodppv, or did lodgo, an orphan girl, the granddaughter of tbo old fisherman. Thin Orphan girl had been trained in the "Wes ley*n Sunday-school, and was in the habit of giving such attention and help to her grandfather and aunt as was within her power. "This was the state of affairs at the beginning of April last, and one would hare supposed that an English orphan girl, however' poor and friend less, might have continued her course in safety and peace, It is not so. Late one night two of the "secret police," whose special business it is to play the spy upon unsuspecting girls, callod and ordered her to attend tho next day at a housi which was described.. For what purpose ?• To be placed on the Government register as a common prostitute, and tben to submit to such treatment by a Government surgeon as to any decent woman would, in the circumstances, be worse than death. She sought the advice of Mr Alderman Bees, himself one of the Dover ma^htratfs, and bo advised ber to icfuso obedience to the order. For five days tbis orphan girl did not dare to voature into tho streets alone," lest like an- Other Orphan girl, twelve months sro, she I should bo hunted by these secret pohco from street to ttroet until compelled to j choose between infamy and a watery grave.; When tho five days, had passed the girl was summoned to appear at tho Magistrate s Court, and at once made her' way to Loodon and took refuge in the house of Mr A. S. Dyer, whoso name is well known ana honoured. In consequence of his action, when the case was called on before the Dover Magistrates, counsel appeared in defence of the orphan. Tben it became known that tho steps oE this fatherless one had for two whole months been dogged py a paid spy in plain clothes, and that a record of her movements had been kept in his pocket-book. Nevertheless, the only evidence which could be brought forward against her was that she bad been eeen walking with a soldier and talking to other eoldiers. In her behalt it was stated that sbo was engaged to be married to one of the Koyal Artillery, and that in her walks with him he bad intro duced her to some of hia friends The magistrates dismissed the case with tbe statement that the character of the girl was without reproach. These are the facts. -la some details they are peculiar. It is soldom that young women m such circumstances have friends like Mr Alderman Recs, to whom they can apply. It is not on every bench of magistrates that one Bits,who is conversant with the Acts aud impressed with their enormity. It is impossible to gues3 how many ?are the victims who year after y?ar are robbed of character and of virtue under tbe operation of these laws. For few of them is there f possibility of escape* In the presence

of the magistrates, what can they do ? One would imagine that before a woman's cbas tity was judicially denied, that beforo she was placed upon the Government register as one utterly fallen, lorae evidence would be required which would convict her of at least habitual lightness of demeanour. BHt there is liothiogof the kind. The paid spy hands in his report, rind the, secret police solemnly swear tba't they believe tbe woman, the eH *° V a prostitute. They are not responsible for producing any further evidence, and unless the accused can prove that she is chaste and honourable her doom id sealed. This is tho fate to which the chil dren of the poor are continually exposed ; aod not of tho poor alone, f«r in the districts where tbese lawt arc in force lio girl is sttfe who is not voder the immediate protection of friends both will ing and able to help.. And all this system of cruel injustice is upheld in order to make vice easy and safe; whilst the taxation of the country is com pelled to pay the cost. The burden is grievous enough when provision is made for the maintenance of rifjht and the repres sion of wrong ; but when to this is added the outrage of virtue and the pandering to lust the burden becomes morally intoler able,

DEATH OF J. M. TUNNY, ESQ.

It is our sad duty to chronicle tho death fMr J. Mi Tunny, Colonial Analyst for the Provincial Di-trictof Auckland, which occurred at tho Hospital yontorday. The deceased gentleman was for some time post suffering from an affection of tho lungs, and was admitted to theHoapital about three weeks ago.

Ho was in partnership with Mr J. A, Pond in the erection of sulphur works at Nonhcote, for the purpose ti working tho depo»its of White Inland. A paper he read before the Auckland inati. tute, in 1875, on " Coal," excited favour able commsmt. Tbe deceased gentleman was manied after his arrival in New Zea land, and leaves a wife and two youug children to mourn his loss.

R.M. COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before J. B. Macdonald, Esq., R M.)

A special sitting of this Court was held to-day, when Mr Macdonald delivered judgment ia the following case : —

McLEOLAN V. THE bELENSYILLESAW miII Company.—Claim, £44 Is 3d.—Mr Theo. Cooper for the plaintiff; Mr E. Hesketh for the defcudaut.--The case was heard on Thursday la«t, and His Worship now delivered judgment as follows :—This action is to recover £41, commission on a sale of 300,000 feet of timber alleged to have been effected by plaintiff as Bgcnt for defendants. The circumstances are as follow:-Plaintiff wMe to defendants: " I am open to purchase at 14s, lesa 2J per cent." Defendants replied by telegram that they accepted Mb offer for 300,000 feet. Afterwards, plaintiff attended a meeting ot the defendants' directory, when they sub mitted to plaintiff a resolution they had ar rived at, the terms whereof plaintiff ac cepted. Then, on one of the directors ask' inif, " How about your payment I" plaintiff replied, "Oa, the Sash and Door Company arc my principals. I suppose they are good enough 2" and an affirmative answer being given, the interview terminated. Afterwards defendants are met by the representative of the Sash and Door Com pany, when the negotiation being ratified, the subject of payment is again mooted by defendants asking for progressive payment, according to deliroiy, tho purchasor pro posing monthly settlements, the difference being adjusted by the purchaser agreeing to pay tortnightly, ia consideration of having 2J per oent discount, for which few will blamo him. So far the plaintiff has not appeared to act as if agent for defendants, but now that the oontract tor sale is completed! he pre fers the preseirt claim, Mr McLeod, one of the director;, in his evidence admitted that he, on being some time ago spoken to in the street by the plaintiff, had said, "They" (i.e., the defendants' company), will allow you 2J on what you sell for them," and this, coupled with the fact of tho transaction already dctailod is the basis of the plaintiff's title to commission. That title I must bold bad for those reaions : First, the ouuidc iemaik of Director Mc- Leod did not bind the company (tee Lindley on Partner-hip, p. 250, and Hunt v. Wimbledon Board, L.P.C.P,, 3, 208), where a plaintiff acting on a verbal era ploymcnt was non-suited, though subjected thereby to very great hardship; second, had there been a binding undertaking on the part of the company in the terms of McLeod's remark, the claim would still fail, because to givß a right to commi-sion, there must, as to the_ particular transaction whereon it ia claimed, bo not only a service sufficient to earn commission, but an employment ex press or implied torender that service. Now, each of the defendants' directors declared, and witn manifest truthfulness, that they did not consider plaintiff in any way acting for tho defendants' company; while Mr McLeod says, besides having never com municated to his company's director! his remark to plaintiff rtlative to commission, and besides having entirely forgotten it himself, from plaintiffs procedure he never dreamed that lie was acting on behalf of defendants. This being so, it is clear there was no emp'oymen*. Third, the residenca does not establish that either witk or without authority plaintiff really wai at bII employing himself in de fendants' interest. The only doubt on this point in the face of plaintiff's letter and conduct being suggested by tho quoation for whom or why he was acting ? _ It certainly was not for pastime, and he said it was not for the Sash and Door Company. Jto ex planation was given why the name of the real purchaser was withheld from de fendants, until at last, on the Court asking " if it was because of a fear that if be dis closed the name of tho purchaser de fondants would endeavour to deal direct to save commission?" plaintiff replied, "that Is just it." Whether if asked if his real incentive did not consist in an eye to the 2i per cent, discount mentioned in his letter to defendant*, his answer would have been equally ready in the affirmative must remain an open question. As it is, plaintiff failing upon all points, must be non-snited—costs, £3 3s,

PROSTITUTE INSPECTION.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin,- Although there Is auoli a wldoonroad reeling about tho Contagious DUoaso Act, I hftva notlood thai the Pieaa baa said but Uttle noon the subject, correspondents have not ltkod. to Blgn their names to their lottors; some moot inns about the matter have been held in private, and othors whlohjhavo been announced uavo not been reported. AU this Is Btnptd and wrong. We should not think whon danger threatens that we can avert it by, oitrloh like refusing to soe it. The mook-modsaty about this question is aa .odious as tho Question lteeu. Wo all know about tho social ovll. and why protend that wo don't, or epeakof It In bated breath ? Who that read! the Doiioo reports, or walks down Jho streets caa be lirnorant ol some ot 1 w wortt phases ? I re cent that mock-modesty on this question la hateful, and will proceed to Bho w that this false delicacy has worked muoh barm. Anyone can gat proofs of what I say. it he will turn to Her bart epenoort "Soolology," p.p. 272-81 Tho Contagious Dlmkmoh Aot was promoted by mil itary and naval men, and smuggled through political forms In Kngland on tha quiet. In Jane, 1861, U pasied tho Commons In silence, »nd win passed tnrough the House ol Lords In alienee no lea« profound. The Aot, not proving strong enough to meet tho views of military and naval officers, was amended ia 18£6. The aeoretsry ot tte Admiralty doaorlbed It as an Act to saoura tho bettor health o( soldiers and sailor*. Bat before the Bui was pasted booio short advene comments were made, and pro tested against on the ground that tho BUI was not to bo publicly d'souased 1 Now, was it not shameful that when »noh Immense power* wero being given to the polloe our law-makew ihould pretend that the evil aimed at was too delicate I tew there was not a member of either Honso so Innocent that he did not know all about tho duration. And the mook-modeety which quietly handed over half the population of certain localities to the police w*a wrong, and an iDjary to tho Kngllßh people. I am not now Baylr* whothor tha Aot la rlgnt or wrong, but that the prinolplo of pasiiriß raoh an Important measure wiiboat full and free disouitfon was wrong. ThU sumo modesty will reader abortive all efforts either to revolse, amend, or properly work the Aot here; and we cannot learn too goon that men are not morn socially contaminated by openly and faithfully grappling wilh mornl diseases than a doctor Is by physical disease. Tha cancer Is deep down ia ocr social systom, eating ont tha vltala of society, and it Is only by probing It and towing It out by the roots that any permaixent good can be done. Kvery parent and oitfzen has a right and a duty in this matter. He has a right to Bpeak. and le boaod to BBo<nt in curing the ovll. Leaving ont of account for tho moment the women, It is horrid to think that eorno of the men who handle the food we eat are suffering from a contagious dlßeaae. It moat;b* clear to every body that plain BcoaUnK and skilled notion »ro required at onoe. aad It wero uq wise to petition tbo Oove'norln r'ounoll not to brine tbn Aot »ot.o force if no other remedy iaadoptcd. True, the Ant bu been fetftaUy abosea In ffranoe. At Llllo a Rttnß ot aharn doteotlvea in thne years got five hundred women Into their oiutobM tor impeotlon. and cot only outraged them, bat blaok-mallod men also, and all were so ashamed ot exposure that tnoy submitted to the fearful -wrong in lilenoe. At iaer, a murder by one of the sang exploded tho abase. (Bee " Boololopy," 4IflJ Tola is another lnaUsco ot the tolly of false ehurae. Now, I think other remedisa would bo mora potent for good and leea liable to abuse than jolloa reguutlon. First ot all Ut us reoosnlae ;be fact there will always b» prostitutes ot ooth saxes. Secondly, that a male proatitnte li as Sad as a female. Socioty does not think co yet, iioooe it shuns and soorni the women, but welcomes with opon arms the men. Can Acts of PiuriUmont make tho women respect them- Bolvefl and men respect them too muoh tor lUtolt lnteroauraa No; and the Act is a tecfeot [allure so far as abating the traillo is oonoerned. It was never Intended to abate It. It was oaieed to protect military and naval men: and Dr. Aoton, in his work on prostitution, shows that It IB a snooess In that reaped The trus remedy is in moral filiation, and the burden of the work must devolve on ladle* and ministers ot religion. litymea wno might do (rood gervtoe would not be so mnoh above suspicion, and those who havo their living to not might find that tha public did not appre ciate their labours amongst prostituted. But they can supply the ladles and ministers with monay to oover expenses of the work. If they would ayitematloally organlße an eff«rt to re claim tallen women, they would succeed In some oases. We onoe had a fallen women* home here, and bungled it out of exlsteaoo, bat an we have a valuable traat property for this purpose it ought to be started again. Moral nation will do more for woman than Acts of Parliament; but in addition to this remedy for the men, soolety mast make them share the wernan'a odium, and treat them as partners in guilt. In addition to moral suasion and the pressure of public opinion, I woald have tae law operate equally against men and women. It dooton and chemists were required by law to report to the authorities all oaten of contagious venereal disease, and equal super vision were exorelaed over both men and women, it woald protect society, especially it all known prostitutes were imprisoned if they refused to follow a lawful calling, when a situa tion could be got. Now the women parade tha streata till midnight, and those who can be hrounht n» under the Contatioas Dloeniiea Aot ought to be brought up under the vagrancy ACtlnßtead. To asnolude—above everything, let us have moral suasion and a fallen women* home; next let public opinion deolare that a man who prostitutes hi j person la an bid ob a woman who prostitutes hen. -And, thirdly, let the 'aw be tat in motion only when absolutely neoesoary, pot With greater Bofegoardß to society than crar Conttgloni Diseases Act siren. By nduptlrg these melhoaß, althougn wo shall sever tntircly eradicate tho evil, we may mitigate it very muob.
