MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1882.

For the causa that lacks assistance. For the wrong that aeedi resistance For the future In the distance. And the good that we can do.

TBB agitation againit the lutroduction of tho Contasjio us Diseases Act has reached that stage when a decision mast be attired at. The subject is not one suitable for indiscriminate discusdon, and we thoroughly agree with the opinion ex pressed at the meeting of clergymen that harm baa beon done by the stirring up of an unsavoury sink. Bat for the amount of public attention drawn to the subject, peopla might have been horn, brought up and died *n Auckland without being aware that there was such a law in torce. Among those who have expressed their views on the subjeot, there appears to bo a general agreement tVat something ought to be done; that the past policy of indifference and aeglflt': is the worst ef all evils, and Mtat if the agitation does no other Ifitful it will havo served to draw public attention to the paramount necessity lor ameliorating the condition of a larga and, unhappily, growing claaa in our midst, vrho.se lot at present in ona ot hopr.:k-BH degradation.

It in evident, however, that many ol these T,-ko hare entered the lists against the intro duction of tho Act, have not taken the trouble to acquaint themselves with its provisions. Some have confounded the law with I Ins continental licensing s^ntom, from which it differs es centialiv; and others have represented ' it' as giving extravagant powors over the liberty of women. A perasal of the Act would remove many of these prejudices, Its provisions are very simple. The police arc inatructed to report to the Superintend ent the tinmen »f all women who nro habitually following au immoral calling; the bupertitcndent of Police, on being satisfied of the grounds oa which the allegation is made, takes steps to instituts an inquiry before a Justice of tho Peace. At this in quiry, the accused need not even appear in person, but may be represented by counsel. The inquiry may be either in public or private ,it the option of the accused. There is therefore the most careful provision made ogaintit a person being wrongfully charged, If the charge, however, is established, an order is issued, compelling periodical attendance at an hospital appointed for the purpose for medical examination, Tho Act empowers the detention of women' found to be diseased for such times as the medical officer deems necessary to effect a complete cure. It also makes .provision for religious and mqral instruction to the women who ase so confined. In a letter by Dr Kendendine, .an ardent opponent of. the Act, published in our Friday's issue, the writer declared that he would have no objection to the confinement of such ,women in gaol, to be discharged when tared. This, is praetibally what the Con^ tagious Diseases Act does, except that the place of confinement is one wnich gives more chance of the moral reformation of

tho women who are thus taken from the street, nud brought withiu tbo scope of humanising iulluences. To herd tlieso . women with lntrdeued criminals is not a , plan which promises much aroeliora- j tion of tho evil from which the com-1 iminity suffers—the plan prescribed in I the Act is preferable. There la,. how-' ever.oneobjectionablefeature aboutitwhich ; should be removed. The law authorises , the issue of a medical certificate, certifying . that the holder has undergone an ex amination. This document may obviously be used in soliciting prostitution, and ought Hottoiiegrantsd. A register kept at the Hos pital, with a duly certified copy forwarded to the police., should serve all purposes. Having thin outlined the character of the law, about which so much has been i said and written, now, let uh con eider the arguments for and against | its introduction into the city. There is first of all the danger to virtuous women. We think that with the safeguards provided in this Act, that may be dismissed as of little or no weight, especially in a city like Auckland, where no woman can be so utterly fricudless as to find no appeal from the wrongful suspicions of the police, in the Superintendent^ the committing jus tice, or the medical officer, or the benevo lent persons who would doubtless, it this Act were in operation, devote themselves to the endeavour to reclaim tho fallen fellow creatures imprisoned under its provisions. There is moro danger to tho liberty of tho subject in thelaws against vagrancy a-ml other crimes. And the Contagious .Diseases Act has this advantage, that ie brings under the at tention of persona who aro not dead to humanitarian feelings, the cases of gitls who have becomo inveigled in the toils ot infamous procuresses, iind desire to re gain their freedom. These poor crea tures, who might otherwise go steadily drifting down tlio stream of sin to an un> timely grave, must come within the cogni zance of those who aro willing aud ready to help them. And if a stringent law wero passed for tho committal of juTonile offend era to a reformatory tor a fo>v years, incal culable good would be done. The next objection, and ono which would be fatal it established, is this—that the Act has proved a failure where it has been tried. This atatoraent, however, appeani to be made without a single supporting authenticated fact. In Dr acton's work, — " Prostitution; Considered in its Moral, Social, and Sanitary Aspects,"— statistics of the most conclusively favour able character, authenticated by tho sur geons of various regiments are givuu, shew ing the benelicial working of tho Act in tho garrleon towns of Kngland. Ono example will servo to indicate the general chin actor of these statistics. In the 2nd battalion of Coldstrenui Guards when stationed at Chelsea,whcre the Contagious Diseases Act was not in operation, 110 canes of diaeaso occurred iv three mouths. Iv the samo regiment when removed to Windsor, whero tho Act was in force, there were only GO cases during a similar period. The virulence and duration of the disease has alao become greatly modified in the districts where the it ct Is in operation, and tiie medical officers show that many ot the cases that occur in such areas arise from the infected persons coming in from open districts, The statistics of Paris aro even stronger. The occurrence of diieaae iv registcrod prostitutos liviug nt large is only one in about 376 ; while among the unregisUrcd nrre«ted by tho police it is about 1 in 4. Tho British Parliamentary Committee, which has juat concluded its labours after a moat protracted sitting, Ins reported fa vow ably npo» the beuelicial working of the Act wherever it is in force in England, and thare can be no higher authority. The third objection, and that which has bad the largos* amount of weight with the public, is the fear that the Act will make sin easy, and so increase Us practice. This involrca, of come, an admission that the Act will be efficacious in stamping out disease. It implies, too, a low estimate of tho average morality and tho power of the existing inducements leading men to purity of life, We shall not attempt to estimate the moral worth of the man who only refrains from sinniog for tear of tiie consequences, His protection from ail the worst poualtics of his dissolute conduct should never cost anyone- a moment's thought, and if that alone wera concerned, why by nil means let him go on in bin ignominious career ami suilcr. We doubt, however, whether such a poor deterrent will long savo any man from giving swiu" co the bent of his depraved nature; aim nnfort'.inatoly, the pure and innocent ate puntehvd with him. Every medical nrnn could givo testimony on this subject, which would nicken dooent-living people. There is, indeed, no psrson in the community sifo from the horrible contamination j following from tilthincss of life } union?? individuals la the community. But j .though we sympathise entirely with the resolution of tbo clerical conference that the male offenders should not escape, no practi*ablo plan has evtr boon propoundod by which that«nd can be achieved. To compel m;dical men to report all venereal cases . under their care would not only bring sbamo upon innocent wivus but would drive male sufferers into tbo hands of quacks; it would never accom plish the end iv view, Besides, tho resolu tion adopted by the clerical conference, that tho Act ought to include male offenders, is not an argument for its suspemion, but for its enlargement. Aud if any class may justly bo brought in under its sgency, it is that class who, for pecuniary g*in, are walking tbo streets and enticing, in many instances, m«re lad* to their ruin. For their own cakes, as well as for that of their victims, they ought to be saved from their moral and physical rottenness.

1 here appuars.as we have said already, an agreement oven among the opponents ot the Act, that the past j olicy of indiffercntism is one that ought no longer to be pursued. That an evil prolific of dangerous conse quences to tho individual and the commu nity exists and must bo dealt with. And we are bound to say that com ing to the subject with a strong prejudice against the Act, the disclosures that have been made have tended to create a conviction that while remedial measures are demanded on all sides, no better way than that provided in tho Contagious Diseases Act has up to tho present moment been suggested.

In another column, ihe Choral Society announce their fifth concert of the season ("Moses in Egypt") for Tuesday, the 10:h inst.

The cheap excursion afforded by tho St. Helier's Bay Company on Saturday was p complete success. Tho Tonganro was crowded with a party combining all ages and both sexes, who, after landing at the company's new wharf, which is approaching completion, waadered over the beautiful estate, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. The company have hit upon a charming way of advertising their property, which only requires to be seen to be appreciated. There is no pleasanter place about Auckland for spending a day's lioliday. The party returned to town about six o'clock,delighted with their trip.

I Dr. Wa-llis does not believe iv making an advertising board of the pulpit or plat form ; he holus this to be not only prostitating these agencies, but also "taking the bread ont of the mouths of poor printers." Bravo, doctor! But last night, while stating his practice to bo a? above, he made a generous exception from his rule, and announced an opposition lee tur.e by Mr Benjamin Gass, of Christ church, to be delivered ia Ithe Temper anco Hall on Thursday firsfT The good doctor, however, rather squirmed at the wording of the subject of Mr Cass's lecture, which ,was—"A refutation of the false doctrine pt eternal punishment, and the fiction of the soul's necessary immortality." He gave it with a protest; and hoped that as " one good turn deserves another." Mr ■ Cass would do htm the favourof announcing on Thursday night that he (Dr. Wallie) intended continuing his lectures against Conditional Immortality iv the Athenceum ' on Sunday evenings, j

On Friday last, a silver watch, gold chain, and pendant, were stolen from James Brown, at Powell's Dining Kooms. Wo believe that the articles have been recovered by the polico from one of the pawnshops In this city. <

To tho Editor : Kir, —The return football match, Sydney versus Auckland, is closo upon us, and us yet, so far as I can ascer tain, no steps have been taken to obtain a half holiday for the benefit of those assist ants who otherwise will bo unablp to witnes* ivhut promises to ba the roost in teresting game ever played in Auckland. Surely, sir, it is timo some steps wero tukon to secure this and, or are we content to leave tho matter until the last mom«nt ? Would it be too much to suggoat that His Worship tho Mayor should declare a public holiday after 2 p.m. on that day.—Yours, &C,, ONE IKTEEESTED.

A private letter from an old Artcklaader, at present residing ut Christchurch, says :— "'ilia Chtistchurch men aro very wroih at being beaten by Sydney. The game was a good one, and tho local men were undoubtedly the best forward players. At that department of tho game they seemed to do what they liked with Sydney. The game was a rough 'one, and severKl players, on both sides, bore marks of the sevority of tho contest. The Sydney men' are confident that they will beat Auckland on their return. They say they will alter their tactics altogether —put on more forwards ; also that hnu they done so at first Auckland would not have done so well. They also gave expression to their opiuion that Canterbury is tho best team they have yet mot. Of course this m»y only bo a bit of exaggeration on tHo part ot the Sydney men, and I think i«siid chiefly to disparage the victory pained by Auckland, ilowevcr, I have no doubt that Auckland boys are not asleep, and will be quite able to retain their laurels."

Thoro was a fair attendance at the Gaelic divine service held in St. Andrew's Church yesterday nfternoon, when the kov.

SUPREME COURT. — Criminal Sittings.

THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies,) The quartetly Circuit .Sittings of the Supremo Court were opened this morning at 11 o'clock precisely, Mr Justice Gillies presiding, THE GRA.TSD JURY. The followiug gentlemen were sworn in as the Grand Jury :—John Abbo'tt, George William Binney, John Buchanan, William Co!son, William Crowtber, John tfdson Frederick William Kwington, 'Waller Fraier, William Gardner, Robert Charles Greenwood, Christopher Atwell Harris Joseph Howaul, William Hunt, Samuel Jigger, George Bennett Jones, Thornton Wilson Leys, James Wallace, and Ebenezer Waymouth. John Moginie and Hartley Webster were exempted from service on the ground of their ag«, THE JUDGE'S CHARGE, His Honor delivered the following charge :—Mr Foreman and gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—Tlio calendar with which you have to deal on the present occa sion it, I atn happy to say, a comparatively light one. 'i'here are 18 prisoners charged with 24 offences, but none of these oflences are of n very agpravated character, and none of them present any features that will require me to address you up nn them. I will shortly run through ttieir character and direct your attention to one or two in particular. There are 10 persons charged with sixteen offences of the nature of theft, that is, larcenies, house breaking, burglary, and horse and cattle stealing. None of these call for attention except one, iv which a person i* fouud in a house at .night, bat without having stolen anything. If you should ascertain from the evidence with what intent the man was ia the house, and that that intent was to steal, then, of course, you will find a true bill. If, however, that in tent cannot he shown, then tho prisoner must bo found not guilty of the crime with •which he is charged, viz., burglary. So far as the other cases are concerned—thoie of larceny, house-bre«aing, and horse and cattle-stealing- the evidence is very plain in nearly all of them. Unfortunately, some three of these cases, I think, are robberies in brothels. There are two persons charged with wounding. In neither of these casi-s, however, is there anything special to which to direct your attention except- this—that you will kesp in remembrance that in all cases it is the intent which is the essence of tae crime, and not the mere act. There is one person charged with two forgeries, viz, forging endorsements to bills by his brother. Tho evidence is very simple, and I need not remark upon it. There are two persons, both men, charged with bigamy. It is «omewhat surprising that at the last sittings of the Court two women were tried "for tain offence, and that now two men should be charged with it. In one case tho circumstances are somewhat peculiar, A man gets married in 1858 to a half-caste, who, after a few days, leaves him for an other individual, with whom she lives and to whom she bears a large family of cfiil dren. Tho rightful hu.band, after tho lapse of 24 years, advertises for a wife, and the wsult U that he marrlos a widow, if at this time lie wos aware that his first wife was Jiving, he is legally guilty of the crime of bigamy, long since though it may huve beeu sinco he law her; bat if be was net possessed of this knowledge, then he may be innocent. It will be for y-m to determino thto. There U one person charged with perjury, which is, as you know, swearing falsely in a judi cal proceeding upon any material point. It dots not require to be material to tho issue of the case ; it is sufficient if it was com mitted in regard to any point indirectly affecting the case, such as tho ccdit of tho person against whom it acted. Tho ciicuniHtnuees in this case blbo are very simple, and the perjury is alleged to have occurred in the .Resident Magistrate's * Court. There are two lads charged with' malicious injury to property, and here, again, you will have to conijder the intent. The facts appear to be that an old man going up Queen-street met the prisoners coming down, and that they shoved him agiinst a window, through which he fell. Of course such conduct under any circum stances is wrong, and wonla render theladi liable to a civil remedy, but you hayo now to ascertain whether the act wag done maliciously. That was the finding of tho intent. If it were clear that the lads pushed the old man with the deliberate purpose of breaking the window, then it was as much a malicious injuring of pro perty by them as if they lud broken tko window with their own bands. But if, on the other hand, they gave the old man a push without Bay contem plated result, there would be no malicious intention, You mint, ther»fore, consider what was tluir intent. These are all the coses which are to como before us, and, as I »aid before, tho evidence in all of them is so simple that I need not detain you with any further remarks upon them. You will now be so good as to retire to your room, where tho various bills will be laid before you.

The Grand Jury then withdrew.

Tkue Bills.—Tbe Gra«d Jury found true bills agaiust Thomas Binnings, steal ing from tbo pewon (two cases); William Brownlee, torging and uttering (two cases); Alexander Barnds, on a charge of houae-breakiug; Aubrey Fitzgerald, burglary; Wm, John Lyttlc, bigan,y ; 'I'homas Gorman, perjury; and John M.tthison, Wm. t.*'Keete, and Hush Storey, malicious injury to property.

Ho forged the name of his brother for the purpose of raising money to pay his men, who had families to support, fully anticipating that he would have been able to have met the bills.—His Honor remarked upon the terious offences to which prisoner had pleaded guilty, a,Dd Baid as he had not been previously convicted, and taking tho circumstances into consideration, the sen tence would not ba so groat as otherwise, Scnteace, eighteen months' imprisonment with bard labour. , ■.'■:. ■
