PAINFUL ACCIDENT AT DEVON PORT.

A VERY painful accidcut occurred yester. day to Howard Mays, a lad 13 years old, son of Mr O. Mays, of Devonport. Mr Mays owns an engine which is used for catting tirewood. The boy had been assisting to (ill tho boiler with water, and wa3 so engaged when work was discon. tinned for dinner. He said he would finish the jol) before going in. When left alone, it appears that he started the engine for the purpose of trying his own hana at wood-cutting, and being inexperienced at tho work, his right hand came across the saw, Bufferlug dreadful wounds. He was at onca sent over to the Hospi tal, whea Dr. Cooper, on examination, found the third and little fingers almost completely severed from the hand. He amputated the little linger and bound «P the other wounds. It is hoped that the re mainder of the bund will be saved, but at present the full extent of the injuries can hardly be accurately determmea.

CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.

The City Council met last evening as Public Works Committee, Mr Waddel in the chair. There wore pres«nt :—Messrs Thompson, Hemus, Offer, Montague, Aickin, Goldie, Fleming, and Crowther. Building Regulations.—Messrs Mills ami Co. applied for permission to build a workshop upon an allotment in Albert street, at the back of tho market.—The Surveyor said he had refusad to give per. mission, on the ground that tho distance from a wooden building was not stated, Tho applicants informed Mm they could not comply with tho building regulations, and that as the lease waa very abort tho Council might grant tho permission. Ho (the Surveyor) told the applicants to apply to the Council.— Mr Crowther said the applicants could build a wall ten feet high with a»inglo brick, and in view o£ this ho moved that tho application bo not entertained.—Mr Thotnp. sou thought that all should bo served alike, and seconded the motion.—Mr Mon taguo moved mi amendment, "That the building regulations should be relaxed in this case," The building waa to be of wood and iron, and tho lease was very short.—Mr Offer seconded the amendment.—The amendment was lost, and tho original motion carried. O'MKARA'S CASE.—Mr Wade said the building was in course of erection when he made tho valuation. It might not be com pleted yet, but when he was there last there were blinds on the windows, and the in ference was that the house was occupied. Mr O'Meira should have appealed against iho assessment at the Court, but as he had not done so, the Council had no right to make any alteration in the assessment rolls Bigned by the Judge. In order to ense Mr O'Mcarn, ho had allowed the assessment to remain this year at last year's amount.— On the motion of Cr. Thompson, the pre vious decision of tbo Council was confirmed. GULLY DkAINAGE.—Tho report of tho Surveyor, of which the following is an abstract:—When the drainage of Cook- Btreet gully was passed he was instructed to report on other gullies in a similar con dition. There are a number of gullies in tho city; some of them of considerable length, Tho object is to bring under the notice of the Council those gullies only that require immediate attention as regards drainage. He took" the worst first: 1. Gully between Victoria-street from JNelson sheet to reserve at the foot of Wellesley street; length, 14 chains; cost of drain . ing, £200. 2. Between Upper Queen street and Liverpool-street, west side of Upper Queen-street to Grey-street; length, 16 chains; cost, £400. 3. Between Upper Queen.street and Grey-street; length, 22 chains; cost, £600. 4. West of Nelson street crossing Cook-street along towards the bone-mill in Freeman's Bay; length,3s chains; cost £300. 5. Crossing Beresford street. A large quantity of drainage goes into;this gully from property fronting Karan gahape-road, Howe-street, and Day-street. A drain would be required in Diy street to take the drainage from properties fronting Karangahape-road toward Howe street. Then gnllydrainage (in this place) may bo considered. In respect to private drainage, a memo, was added, to the effect that the Conncil gavo parties the privilege to mate the proper connections themselves, but the time within which this should bo done wasYiotietated, consequently parties did not give instruction to the contractor to do the work. The Chairman said that the ' cost would be £1,400. lie was informed that the Council was overdrawn, unless they wished to deal with £2,000 which had been reserved for another purpose—the Stanley-street drainage.—Councillor Ajckin considered that each case should be taken according to its urgency, and Cr Thompson §dja^sd_pfS«eeding with the -"-WrirtEaTwas necessary. ProtrabJy- the Stanley-street drainage could not be done for morb than a year.—Cr Crowther thought they should ask tho residents what they were prepared to contribute.—Cr Goldie. Haiti the' drainage of the |gnllies was ur gent —Mr Aickin pointed out that the Attorney General had admitted that the Govornment were bound to contribute towards the drainage of Stanley-street.-.-Cr Offer sug gested that £2,000 or £3,000 should be borrowed and refunded.—Mr Homus said Stanley-street would prflbably cost £8,000 or £9,000, and the gullies £1.400. Ho thought the latter shomld be done at once. The work as recommendod by the Surveyor, plans and specifications to be prepared. Private Dkaina e.—Tho Surveyor recommended that in future all private drainage should be carried out through the Council, or' the Council and tho contractor. Frivato persons neglected to drain, or refused to drain unless. compelled, or pleaded poverty or other circumstances in excuse. He recommended that these pri vate drains be a part of the work under taken by the city.-The Surveyor was recmested to state the time proper to be allowed.—lt was resolved that the adver tisement allowing private parties to dram should be withdrawn, and that the terms of tho Act'shoHld be strictly carried out. ' FOOTPATH.-The residents in Franklyn Koad petitioned ior tho asphalting of tho footpatb.-Cr. Goldie said if the petitioners had wait d for a week or two, they would have found the work.dove in ordinaly course. He moved, "That the petitioner, be informed that the work would be done at soon as tho earth had properly settled. — Seconded by Cr. Fleming and agreed to.~- Cr. Thompson pointed out that the lower part of the road was in a bad state, a™ re quired some ash.-Tho 'Surveyor said the contractor was about to form the footpath with scoria when the present rains came on. The scoria would bo put on as soon as the carts conld get iD.

Keeping the Teems.—The Senate then resolved itself into a committee, and pro ceeded with the consideration of the Chancellor's report.-Sir Maurice O'Korke icferred to the queition from an Auckland point of view. He said it was impossible that a grammar school conld combine a University education with a grammar school one. It might therefore be naturally supposed that the former would bo neglected, ne suggested that the authorities of the various nstftutions should be brought before them, and asked what they were doing. If it was found they wer« not currying out conditions, then they could be disaffili ated. He did not think it right tbat fhey should continue to remnia affili ated unless they gave the required attention to the University coarse, and fulfilled the conditions properly. He be lieved the Governors of thb Auckland Col lege and Grammar School would be willing to relinquish affiliation if it were found that the system was not bearing fruit.— Mr Heale said it was very desirable indeed to know what these institutions were doing in respect of fulfilling the conditions of affiliation, but he doubtea tho wisdom of breaking them all down at a run. Some onn at least of the institutions referred to, w6uld be found not to have fulfilled the conditions of affiliation, and when the report came in this fact in itself would disaffiliate them. What then, he asked, would become of those of its pupils who had passed the entrance examinations rind were study* in<* for their University course.—Mr Heale expressed himself in favor of extending ad ditional facilities to students, and con sidered that they must give pupils who had already passea' exemption, and allow them to go up for their examination without these.-Mr Bruca considered that "if the change suggested by the Chancellor would contribute towards the attainment of the prqpoja- to have fully

ing the university course in the intervals of their avocations was altogether too sweep ing. He considered that there were many cases where young men who did not give their exclusive attention to university edu cation, passed their examinations more creditably than those who did.—Profes sor Brown agreed with Bishop Red wood. He did not Bee why men of ability, who devoced the time to their studies, and who passed their examinations should be discouraged. If they gave time and attention to study, they should rather be encouraged to persevere. He pointed out tbat it was to the present schoolboys they had to look in a large measure for future students, and he was convinced that very few of tho boys who pa sed the matriculation, except those who secured junior scholarships, could afford to devote three years to a University course, while the sons of rich men were almost invariably sent home to Cambridge and Oxford.—The Chancellor said tho clause in the report was not so much his own opinion as his interpretation of the mind of the Senate, as expressed in the regulations. The speaker expressed himself oppased to exemption being granted.- Professor Shand said he attached great importance to students going through a regular course in affiliated institutions. It was not necessary so much classics, mathematics, add English, but was essen- I tial in scientific subjects. He would insist on a thorough training in these subjects before the students got their degree, and ■was in favour of the terms being kept. Professor Sale deprecated the |pursuitot degrees for their mere commercial value. He considered it should only bo in very ox ceptional casos indeed where students should bo eccouraged to come forward tor degrees without the proper University course, but ho was willing that whcio the student, from lack of means or other causes, was unable to live within reach of an affiliated insti tution, that the Chancellor should mako an exception in the regulation, The speaker, in conclusion, referred to the London University, and considered it was doing great harm by the manner in which the authorities of that institution were granting decrees now.—The Chancellor, referring to the pursuit of the University course in the intervals of other avocations, said that if a man was hard at work all day in an otlice, the less he studied at night the better it would be for both mind and body. He did not think they should encourage this kind of study, which was more than peaple could bear.—Rev. I). Brace did not wish it to be understood that he was in favour of the clause in the report. Ho thought that exemption should be made wherever desir able.—Sir Maurice O'Rorke Baid the Chancellor should not have the powor of refusing exemption. Every sttudent should have tho right, if ho did uot live in contiguity to an affiliated institution, to have his education conducted as his parenta might think fit. The great test was the examinations, and he was convinced that they should acknowledge the right of every young man to present himselt tor examina tion. Referring to the English regulations he believed that residence at Oxford was not now compulsory. They should, he thought, liberalise the Institution as far as possible.—Bishop Cowie also thought that oxempiion Bhould be gi»en.—Motions em bodying the views expressed < in their remarks were made by Bishop Redwood and Professor Sale, They were, however, withdrawn, at tho suggestion of the Rev. W. J. Habens, In order that a notice of motion .night be made on the subject.—Mr Healo moved a reso lution providing 'hat in cases where schools became disaffiliated from the University, students be allowed to proceed with their course without having their names on the books of any college, The Senate then adjournod for luucli, to resume ut 2.30 p.m.

FIRE AT WELLINGTON.

VERDICT OF INCENDIARISM.

[BY TKLKORAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION),

WELLINGTON, Thursday. At tho inquest lure to-day on tho recent fire in n milliner's shop in Mulgrave-street, occupied by Mrs Ellen Fuller, some very auspicious ctidence was elicited. The fire itself was not serious, having been detected and extinguished almost immediately it broke out, only some cloth In a box whore it apparently originated having been in jured. Tho stock, however, was insured for £200 in the Liverpool, London, and Globo office. The insurance office and Mrs Fuller, whoso husband rpsidosin Cantor bury, were both represented by oounsel. The jury returned the following verdict :— Tho jury arc of opinion that tho fire in Mulgrave-strcot on tho 12th February last was the work of an incendiary, and ( was done for tho purposo of defrauding a cer tain insurance compiny, called tho Liver pool, London, and Globe. The jwry are of opinion that tho insurance company is to blame in taking risks without carefully examining tho property to be insured, thereby holding out incentives to incen diaries, and they think that the evidence shows strongly against Mrs Ellen Fullor, and the jury are of opinion that the goods claimed for were not on tho premises at tho time of tho fiic."
