DEPUTATIONS TO THE PREMIER.

THE NORTH AUCKLAND RAIL WAY.

A DEPUTATION consisting of Messrs W. J. Hurst, M.H.R., Thomson, Alderton, Whltelawf nnd Smith waited upon the Premier this morning with reference to railway matters in the Whangarei district, Mr Hurst, in the absence of Mr Mitchcl son, member for the district, introduced the deputation, Mr Alderton then explained that he and his colleagues were the Central committees which had been appointed by the North Auckland delegates to interview the I'remier with the object of urging upon him the desirability of making provision out of the next loan for at least two sections of a trunk line of rail way through the districts North of Auckland. They wished this line placed on the schedule of works proposed to be undertaken, not with a view of having it all begun at once, hut so that it might be completed gradually, and not merely prose cuted intermittently. Thus, one or two sections could bo authorised each year, those from . Helensville and Whancarei, northwards, respectively, reccivins- prior consideration over the others Mr Alderton pointed out that the districts which the line would traverse contained n European population of about 30 000 souls, that very few roads had been made so far, and that the people had a fair claim for a grant out of the next loan, as hitherto they had not benefitted by the .public works policy inaugurated by Sir Julias Vogel, In this respect the North bad always stood at a great disad vantage, while the South had been very indulgently treated, and this, too, notwith standing the fact that during the provincial days the Southern provinces received five millions sterling from land revenue with which to make their roads. The North of Auckland, on the contrary, had received nothing from that source, and as a conse quence was now without roads. Even if the money were available, macadamised roads could nctbe made, inasmuch as metal was not attainable, It would be cheaper to make a railway right through the peninsula, and then the settlers would not find it a hardship to construct cross-roads for tho purpose of tapping it Mr Hall enquired if the line could not be mado under the Railways Construction Act ot last session. It wonld, he thought, be an expeditious way of getting the work done. Mr Alderton replied that they had not the capitalist class in the North; that the settlers were mostly small holders, and, besides that, they looked upon it as a right that they should have the trunk railway made through the district, as was^being done in other part 3of the colony. Mr Hall said that, in that case, tho settlers would have to wait till another loan was raised. Mr Alderton remarked that that was pre cisely why they had come here now, so that they should not be left out in the CQld when the new loan was being allocated. Mr Hall did not think it necessary for the settlers to depend altogether upon them selves in floating a railway company, as for instance, the Wellington-Foxton line was being made by Wellington merchants. Mr Alderton said that North Auckland, however, was not looked upon with the greatest favour by the Auckland capitalists, as their interests lay more in tho Waikato, and to the South of Auckland. Mr Hurst pointed out that the Welling ton merchants were anxious also to protect thoir trade from a keen competition, while the Auckland merchants had nothing of that kind to fear in regard to the Nor.h Auckland trado. He thought tho best argument in favour of this lino being made was the fact of North Auckland never hav ing had its share of loan monies. Mr Hall replied that that phase of the question might be left out, as they differed on their arithmetic. Mr Hurst retorted that however that might be, the facta could not be gain said. . , Mr Alderton, in conclusion, remarked that the settlors intended toget up a second monster petition on the subject for prcsen tntiou to Parliament, and he hoped that the Government would give it their cordial support. Mr Hall considered that a monster state ment of facts favourable to the undertaking of the work would be much better and be calculated to hove greater weight than a monster petition. He therefore suggested that the promoters of the affair should address themselves to the collation of these facts. Government in these concerns was not so much guided by the wishes of the pfcople of particular districts as by a con sideration of the probable return they would derive from their outlay, tho reproductive ncßs of the work, etc. Mr Thompson then dwelt upon the ad visability of extending tha railway to deep water at Whangarei instead of leaving it at its present terminus, and merely building a wharf, which, at best, wonld only bo a temporary arrangement. It would be better to erect a bridge in place of the wharf and carry the line right down to deep_water, when the difficulties conncctei with the lur would no longer interfere with the des patch of coal. At present, barges had to be made use of for the parpose of tranship ment, and this was found to be inconvenient and very tardy, Mr Hall reminded the deputation that the contract for the wharf was now let and tbe.timber on the ground, so that any in terference with it now would but lead to compensation claims that might prove qaiteas costly as the completed structure itself. Besides, the amount of money avail able for public works was very small in deed, and there certainly was no hope of undertaking fresh works before a new loan was raised. When that time arrived the deputation could depend upon it that the claims of Whangarei would be fully con sidered with the requirements of the other parts of the colony. He did not see his way to stopping the present contract, as tbat would involve the Government in very great expense. Before the work was decided on tbe whole matter had been very carefully gone into, and he had been led to believe that the scheme gave every satisfac tion to the people. He would be glad to take the railway on to deep water if funds were no object. As matters stood, how ever, it could not be dono for a considerable time. Mr Whitaker explained that he had betn interviewed on tho same subject a fort night ago by Messrs Mitchelson and Ben nett, and that he pointed out to them that even were the wharf contract suspended two years would have to elapse before the extension of the railway line to deep water at Grahamstown could be undertaken, as it involved an expenditure of something like £30,000. Thus, in order to attain their end, for two years longer the people would have to do without even a wharf—a want which would seriously interfere with the develop ment of the coal industry. In view of these facts, Mr Bennett had preferred that the wharf should ,go on rathor than see the present state of things continued for two years longer. He had the matter in hand for a considerable time, and he had, with the assistance of the engineer, gone very carefully into it. Mr Hall suggested that a statement should be drawn, setting forth the advan tages to be derived from an extension of tbe line to deep water, the influence it would have upon the coal traffic, &c, The work might be taken up in timo, but no hope could be held out of the erection ot the wharf being stopped now. DISTRICT CONCERNS. Messrs Thompson, Whitclaw, lfand Smith then pointed out tbat a number of local works, for which appropriations had been made last session—as for instance the road from Wairua to Sandy Bay, the road to Helena Bay, and the Parua Road—had not vet beeu commenced. , Mr Hall said that the approp™^ ™n fcrred to were part of the vote of £150,000, and that its expenditure had to be spread over three years, £50,000 only being avail able this year, howevor, he was surprised that a commencement had not been .made with some of the work. Mr Rolleston would be here shortly, -and would then attend to the matter. In the meantime he thought the deputation would do well to make their representations to Mr Percy Smith, who would in due course communicate with Mr Rolleston. , „ . .. ~ Mr Thompson then stated that it was the general feeling ol the settlers that the County Council should have some voice in the administration of the waste lands. People camo to the district frequently in ?uestsof land, and were unable to get it. t was .also very necessary that a grant should be made for the purpose of opening up the Tangihua block. The want of a wharf at Unc Tree Point was also much felt, as well as a road to connect Waipu with Whangarei harbour. The other urgent local require ments were : A wharf at Whangarei I Heads, a road through Drecver's Valley, and a road from Hikurangi to Waireki, being a portion of tbe Great North Koad, Mr Hall took a note of these things, and promised to obtain consideration for them when the next estimates were being pre pared. The other matters, including that

re the Tangihua block, he said Mr Rolles ton would deal with. This-concluded the business of the depu tation, and they, therefore, all withdrew except Mr Thompson (Chairman of the County Council), who remained at the , Premier's desire. MATTERS EDUCATIONAL. V. i A deputation from the Board of Educa , tion, comprising Messrs J. M. Clark (Chair man), D. Goldie, W. P. Moat, F. h. Prime, and V. E. Rice (Secretary) inter ' viewed tho Premier at 2 o'clock this after ! noon with reference to various educational matters. ... ..... Mr Clark said the principal subject they 1 had to ventilate was that of playgrounds for ■ the city schools. The Ponsonby and Newton schools had been fairly provided for out of a recent grant, but the city schools had no grounds at all, and were consequently placed at a very great disadvantage, The most glaring instance of this was the Wellesioy-street school, which abutted upon the public street, ■ where tbe children had to play. There was some waste ground, about 3 acres in extent, lying to the side and behind tbe school which might be made to serve for a playground, providing it wore levelled. The Premier said that the Government had funds for such purposes, but a legal difficulty stood in the way which denied them the authority for spending the money on what was someono else's property. The money was only for the acquisition of such grounds. Mr Clark said tbat the City Council owned t c pioperty and nothing was to be feared from them, as they had already ex pressed a desire that something should be done in the matter, Mr Whitaker considered that the expen diture of money for the suggested purpose was not within the terms of the Act, He did not know any other school in tho colony which stood in such great need of a playground as that ot Welleßleystrcet. Mr Clark mentioned further that the grouud, if levelled, would be available also to the volunteers for the purposes of drilling. Mr Hall promised that if the land were reserved by the City Council for recreation purposes the Government would ask for legislative authority to expend tbe neces sary monoy upon it. There was no in disposition to expend the money, providing it coul9 be done safely. i Mr Clark then drew attention to the case of the Beresford-Btrect school, which had a certain extent of playground. There was further land available, but £400 would be required to utilise it. The Premier and Mr Whitaker held that this did not come within the scope ot the Act. Mr Hall, however, said that he would speak *o the Minister of Education on the subject, MrClark said that the Nolsomstreetschool likewise demanded similar consideration. An expenditure of £250 would suffice for its necessities. The cases of the Parnell and Mt, Eden schools wero pointed out next. The Premier said that with refereuce to the site and playground for the Mount Eden school, he thought tbat the Minister of Education wodld Very likely make a contri bution for the purpose. He would bring both matters under his notice. Mr Clark then pointed out the necessity for a school nt Richmond, and consideration was promised for it as well. Tho gentle man then adverted to the subject of grants for school buildings, entering fully into the history of those grants. He pointed out the disparity between Auck land and the South, especially in the matter of harbour residences. The Premier admitted the importance of the matter, He thought, however, a good deal had already been done. Auckland's claims would be fully considered when the next vote came to bo allocated. Mr Clarktbcn drew attention to the ne cessity for a now building for the Girls' High School, and Mr Hall promised to lay all these matters before the Minister of Education,

DISTRICT COURT.-This day.

(Before J. E. Macdonald, District Judge.)

WOOD TARD V. PHILLIPS AUD SONS,

Claim, £100, breach of contract, by wrongful dismissal. His Honor gave judgment in thh cafe. After reviewing the evidence, he said the immediate cause of quarrel was manifestly petty enough, and would not ha.ye led to description but for previous discordance. On the evidence it was admitted by tho plaintiff that there had been an unmistak able disobedience, and he mnst hold it to be a wilful one. He gladly pointed out that there was no alleged dishonesty in the case, and none was implied. Plaintiff must be non-suited. His Honor asked Mr Husaell if he would press for coats, , Mr Russell said tbat he certainly must do so, aud if His Honor had heard all the evid ence he certainly would not have aaked the ! question. j Co3ts granted accordingly.

MINING NEWS.

SOUTHERN CROSS G.M.C,

AN extraordinary general meeting of the Southern Cross G.M.C., was held in Mr Stodart's office, at 3 p.m. to-day, Mr Kiss ling presiding. The report stated that a project to placo a large number of shares on the London Market had been abandoned, in consequence of a depression in mining stock. A company had been formed to work the low levels of the Co. and adjacent properties on tribute, and the shareholders were offvred the option of taking an equal number of shares to that which they at present hold in the Com pany. The balance-sheet shewed the ex penditure for mine expenses, pump, &c, £3 656 12s 7d, while the revenue, including £212 calls, £2,748 gold, &c, and £695 15s 4d overdraft, amounted to tbe same sum. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. Messrs Fraaer, Morrin, Buddie, Kissling, Bennett, and Howard were re-elected direc tors, and Mr J. Waymouth auditor. It was agreed on the motion of the Chair man, "Tbat the agreement entered into by the Directors with Associated Companies, for the purpose of forming a company to be called the Deep Level Tri bute Company be confirmed, and that tho directors be authorised to let the portions of the mine below the 400 feet level on tribute, in terms of the said agreement,"—The meeting then terminated.

CHARGE OF ARSON.

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

YESTERDAY. Joseph Merrick, of Albert-street; sur rendered his bail, and appeared in answer to two charges of setting-fire to dwelling houses on the first of January last, with intent to injure James Dempsey and D.

N. Gamier.

In addition to our report of this case in our last issue, the following evidence was taken.

Patrick Scarrott, gum packer, deposed that be resided in Scarrot passage, Short land-street, at the time of the fire; he and other lads were passing the Black Bull; he ran round to the back door, and there saw some coming ont of a small window above the door. The back door was fastened, went round to tbe front, and saw Mr Clements there. They tried to open the shutters, but could;not, and just then yonng Mr Dempsey came down, and tried te open the front door, but could not, and John Cummins put his shoulder to it and burat it open, and Mr Clements went in. Before the door was burst open he saw a light through the second window as of a candle burning, and gas was burning in tbe shop, John Hatley, foreman of the Auckland Fire Brigade, corroborated in the main particulars, the evidence of Superintendent Hughes. Mary Gamier, wile •of Noel Desire Gamier, working jeweller, stated upon oath, that on 31st December her husband occupied tho shop in Denipsoy's buildings, Albert-street. Saw Merrick pass after a quarter past twelve, on New Year's night} was not certain to the exact minute, coining from his own pjacc iv the direc tion of the wharf. She remained a minute or two at the door, aud then went into the back kitchen, which was detached trom the main building, to Jay supper. Sho smelt kerosene, and looked all about her house to find where it came from, and whilo doing bo [she heard (tho shouts of fire, She saw smoke coming out of Mer rick's place at the back aa the boys shouted "Fire!' She ran upstairs to get her children, who were all in bed, out. They were her uncle's children, not hers. (Mr Hesketh submitted tbis was not evidence in this case. Thero was another charge for sotting fire to premises in which people were at the time. His Worship said it appeared to him that they were now finding out what tbe charge was to be. No doubt Mr Pardy would Belect hia charge after the evidence.) Witness continued : When she got upstairs the place was full of smoke, smelling of kerosene. Beiidea her children, there was .a young man named Charles Lloyd, who is lame, in another 'room, and his aoora was .full of smoke. The smoke came down a trap-door. Agnes Sutcliff, a girl ot 16, deposed that on new Year's Eve ahc went down tho wharf at 12 o'clock to see the fireworks, with Willie Kecgan, Emily Birch, Carry Keegan, and others, leaving Mr and Mrs Merrick,Lizzie Williams, and John Keegan. They went down to the last tee of the wharf, and then returned in about ten minutes, The witness then stated that she heard the fire-bell. Saw the smoke, etc., but nothing material to the cgpe. The Court was then adjourned nntil to morrow (to-day) at two o'clock.

THIS DAY.

(before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., R.M.) The further hearing of this case was resumed at 2 o'clock.

John Butler, Captain of the Salvage Corps, deposed that he resided in Chapel street. Remembered the fire in Albert street. He was on duty there at the resi dence of the accused. His attention was attracted to the glare of fire at the back of tho house. He observed thick volnmes of blac'c smoke issuing from the upper windows. There was also a strong smell of kerosene.

To His Worship: Ho knew the smell of kerosene ; it hadapecaliaYsmellof its own, He made an cxaminrtion of the premises. Could not understand how a fire could have got such hold in such a short space of time. Was confident, frorujvarious circumstances which he observed, that means had been employed to aid the spread of the fire, Mr Butler tfctfn gave the results of his exami nations, which were nearly the same as given hy Mr HugiiC", The fire had travelled from the back rooui iLiC iho shoo, as marked on the plan. Witness gave an intelligent account of the separate fires, and stated tho peculiarities of each—tho condition of the rooms, and the state of the tires. He found a Savings' Bank book. His Worship : Where is that book ? Mr Hesketh: At the office. Am not suro on which side is the balanco.

Witness found a rifle ; bad it in his hand, but did not pay particular attention to it, Cross-examined by Mr Heakoth, Witness's evidence was substantially tbo same as that of Mr Hughes. W. Telkin, sworn, deposed tbat he re collected Mr Merrick applying for an insur ance on hia goods, the date was May 19tb, 1881. Witness inspected the furniture and wear, ne; apparel. One of the .rooms up stairs appeared to be used as a lumber room, Two ot the rooms were moderutly well furnished for a person of accuseds position. The servant's room was also fairly well furnished. It contained a tablc,cnairs,bed, etc. In Mr Merrick's room there was a bedstead, several.chairs, .boxes and wash hand stand, and he thought thero was also a chest of drawers. He did nor consider £40 an unreasonable sum fot which to insuro the furniture, . etc. A box which was . opened in his presence appeared to be pretty full
