Of deferred payments settlers in South land, no fewer than 395 are iv arrears with their rents, their aggregate indebtedness being £5,451. The Land Board has notifibd defaulter's that arrears must be paid in one month, failing which the laud is to be forfeited. The largeness of arrears is attributed to the fact that settlers cannot find a remunerative market for oats. The Board also resolved that the residence clause of the Land Act shall tor the future be morestrictly enforced in the caao of deferred payment selectors, it having become known that several cases of dummyism have occurrtd. There hate been several cases of typhoid fever in the hospital within the last two months, In not one of these cases did the ferer ariso in luvercargill, but was brought from a distance.

DUNEDIN GAOL INQUIRY.

(BY TEI^QBAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

DUNSDIN, this day. AT the Gaol Inquiry yesterday, Captain 'Hume detailed his prison experiences He had been Deputy-Governor at the Military Prison at Dartmoor, Portland, and War wood Lernb, London, The cose for Mr Caldwell was then entered on. Ex-warder Gray was in Dunedin Gaol for five yeara till 1880. five months ago Captain Hume called on him and asked if he knew any thing about irregularities Be replied that he knew a little, and said be knew of ill-treatment. He only caw Mr Caldwell use violence which was necessary when prisoner became obstreperous or impudent. He expressed his preparedness to come forward aad give evidence, but the Inspector never troubled him afterwards. Mr Caldwell had favourite warders, but he did not encourage ths spy system. Prisoners were never asked to do more than they were able. He never saw warders drunk on duty, Mr Caldwell was a strict disciplinarian. He saw Rogers be fore his death, but the latter made no com plaints. On one occasion Garrett was Id. eolent to witness, and the doctor removed him from the office, bnt used no unneces sary violence. He strongly defended Warder Duncan, who carried out his duties systematically, His reporting more prisoners than other warders was 'readily explainable, as Dnncan's gang comprised the larrikin mob, who rebelled against Duncan's system»tic work. Ex-warder Frederick gave a denial to Bateman's state* ment that the latter informed him about Rogen's health. Ha never b*w Mr Caldwell 111-nae a prisoner, and was never naked to act as ipv, Witneis had left the service since he last gave evidence, because it was the only dignified position he conld take, Another warder had preferred a charge against him, and he felt his charac ter was not safe, and mw glad to leave. Had overheard three warders say, "If we all lay the same it will be all right,"

DARING ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.

A Farmer Attacked and Plundered by Five Ruffians.

Latb last evening a man named John Carrol, who described himself as a farmer, residing at Vuktkohe, reported to the police that he had been drinking at the Black Bull Hotel, Albert-street, between 3 p.m.; aud S p.m. yesterday, and that about the latter bour he proceeded to a urinal attached to the hotel. He was Uh lowed by four or five men, who knocked him down, one feilow holding him by the throat while the others searched all his pockets. He said that from his trousers pockets they took three one pound bank notes, but he knows neither the numbers nor the bank by which they were issued. Acting upon this information, Detectives Twohey Walker, and Hughes proceeded to the Black Hull . Hotel, but the men charged with the assault and robbery were not there. Mr Gallagher, landlord of the hotel, states that Carrol leit the bar, as stated correctly by himself, followed by five men, viz., Albert Wright, William Small, Frank Ryan, William Allan, and David He rue, aud that on returning to the bar shortly afterwards his clothes were dirty, ane there was blood upon his face. Mr Gallagher brushed hin clothes, and directed him to complain to the police, which he did. Detective Hughes suc ceeded in tracing Albert Wright to a brothel in Klliott-street about midnight. v» right ihewed fight, but was eventually captured and locked up. On beine searched he was found to be the possessor of 19s. Early this morning another of the oft'eudets named David Homo was arrested by Detective Twohey. He denied all knowledge of the aflnir. Ryan wai sub sequently locked up, and along v lt'i Wright and borne appeared aa prisoners at the Police Court this morniug. They were charged with robbery with violence. Un the application of Sergeant White, a re maud of eight days was grmted, in order to enablo the police to secure the other men supposed to be implicated In the a flair.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The ordinary weekly meeting of tho Board of Education was held this afternoon, Present: Mr JR. tiaiabloy (Chairman), Mr S. l-uke, Mr .D. H. McKcnzie, and MrJ F. Buckland.

Chairman's Riport. -The Chairman's report stated that leave of abience had been granted to Alice Hobbs, Beresford street, Mary M. Martin, Wellosley-stroet, and C. T Edwards, Avondale, while Mr J. 0, Dickinson, Wellealey-street, Miss Kate Keesing, Training College, Mrs L. James, Kllerslie, and Mias S. Golt, Tararu, had been exempted from attendance at the Saturday training classes.—The report was adopted. Medical Cirtificates. — Pnreuant to notice, Mr McKenzie moved, "That the motion adopted on the *7th October, 1882, with reference to medical certificates for absent teachers, be relaxed as far as female teachers are concerned ; and that, instead of medical certificate, the Headmaster's certificate be deemed sufficient. This rule not to be applied to any absence beyond two day 9in each month."—Both Mr Luke and the Chairman expressed themselves in favour of tho proposition, the latter gentle man thinking it both necesiary and politic. —The motion was then agreed to.

FcraTHE* Qualification and In structions fok Teachers.-Mr Laishley moved : 1. That for tbo future steps be taken to test the capacity of all pupil teachers, and, so far as possible, of all other teachers, to place themselves sympathetically Id accord with their pupils. 2. That teachers bo further Instructed by regulations to continually irnprcis on scholars a iruc definition of what education is. 3. That elementary instruction— that is, the teaching of the young children—bo considered aa the most im portant ; and, with this in view, pupil teachers be not allowed to have sole charge of junior classes. 4. That the holidays ba re-arra"xod, with the object (inter alia) of rulucing their aggregate num ber, whilst nt the same time avoiding in jurious strain to scholars, 5. That, where as the holding of teachers' examinations in January ia detrimental to the hcilth of the teachers, and comequently injurious to the efficiency of the schools, and involves the necessity of longer holidays in January than would othcrwife be advisable, the Go vernment be requested to alter the tiino of examination. It having been agreed to take the resolutions seriatim, the Chair man supported the opinion embodied in the lirst reiolution by a quotation from Professor Payne, and by reading the following memo, by the Inspector cf Schools :— "I agree that it is desirable that before teachers ar« employed tome means should be t'ken to teat their ability, to put themtelves in accord with their pupils, as well m to ascertain their etliciency gene rally. With this view I recommend that for the future all those who seek to become pupil teachers be placed on probation in the schools for three months before engage ment. That were pcsiible the like course be pursued whh all other teachers (this is now dono to a considerable extent).— Mr Luke suggested that the resolutions should be deferred for a fuller meeting.— The Chairman objected. They were by no means a surprise, for full and ample notice h»d been piven.-Mr McKenzie expressed his approval of the first resolu tion.—lt w»s then put and carried.—The second resolution was then moved, the chairman again quoting Profes»or Payne and the Inspector in support of his views, He thought It could not bo too frequently or too deed* impressed upon the scholars that school life is merely a kind of training college for after education.—The motion pasted.—The third resolution was then commended to the Board by further quota tions from Professor Payne and the In spector.-Mese'sLnke andßuckland thought the proposed restriction both needless and expensive while Mr Luke also con sidered that with these changes there wae a danger of the present education system being reformed awar altogether. Provision was already made for (he suggested matter. —The Inspector explained that he did not think that the passing of the motion would entail any additional expense. On tho question being pat, the Chairman and Mr McKenzie voted in the affirmative, and Messrs Luke and Bucklandiu the negative. The Chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the motion, which was then carried. With reference to the fourth resolution, the chairman considered that the holidays were excessive in numner, and interrupted unduly the school work, He thougVt a fortnight at Christmas would be sufficient and a week at Michaelmas. Messrs Buck land and Luke opposed the motion, the former gentleman saying that he invariably found that the people who complained of the holidays being too long were most mis erable people, who sent their children simply in order to get them out of the way. The Chairman proposed to defer the reso lution, bat at Mossrs Buckland and Luke's reqnest it was pasted and carried on the Chairman's casting vote,—After somo con sideration of the fifth resolution the words "an involvod tha necessity of longer holi days in January than would otherwise be advisable" were eliminated, and in this amended form it passed. Mr Buckland gave notice of motion to rescind the fourth resolution.

Junior Clerkship,— Fifly-three appli cations were received for the post of junior clerk ; salary, £S0 per annum, Of these the secretary had picked out 11, which were submitted for consideration. It was also stated that two clerks were wanted, as a clerk employed at a salary of £140 was about to leave; a cadet, however, was being tried, and would probably suit,—The list having been further reduced by the Secretary to three, viz.: Joseph Wooller, Albert E. Dewar, and H, D. Marshall, with a preference for the first-named, Mr Woollnr was duly appointed on probation tor three months, —Mr juts* t»p« aolnteoi (Left Sitting,)

The assault at arms and eymna«tic ex eroises at the St. Mep'ilcuro s Schoolroom last night was largely attended, and highly entenaining. The whole was under the direction of Sergeant Birley, Drill In structor of the Auckland College and Grammar School, assisted by his former pupils. The successive feats in fencing, boxing, and horizontal bar exercises were pet formed with sur prising agility and completeness, only ten minutes elapsing between the numerous feats. 'Ihe whole was well sus tained throughout, attracting frequent bursts of applanse. The piani-te of the evening was Miss George. The antertain ment redounded to Sergeant Birley's credit as a skilful instructor.

The New Prince Arthur having now begun the second year of its existence, the Proprietor begs to take the opportunity of returning thanks to hi 3 numerous friends and patrons for the liberal support accorded him during the past twelve months ho has had the honour of catering for tho public in the New House. When, two years ago, the old Prince Arthur was condemned, the Proprietor then, as now, thought nothing but a Firat class Hotel could be a buccgbs on such a healthy, picturesque, and prominent position in the City as the present site oflored. The Hotel was built, and, not like many specu latlon?, quito new and novel. Tho Old House, as it were, had to be resuscitated, old associa tions of the past are inter-woven and absorbed into newer ideas and improvements of the present. Certainly, then aa now, they all served a purpose. The old Fort Llgar endeavoured to throw a mantle of protection over citizens against Maori raids in ihe early days of Auckland. On the same site the old Prince Arthur, through all its vicclsitudes, endeavoured to acoommodate the public and the travellor. There is now a newer life on the same old spot, wending its way along to meet tho tlmos of modern improvements; for when tho tram ways will thread the streets of Auckland (Wellesley and Hobson streets Included), and whon the stone pier will jut out into the beauti ful waters of the Waitcmata and Hobson-street have a well-definedj approach to tho Harbour, then it will be soon tho Prince Arthur began not one day too soon in helping to provide for that accommodation in tins particular trade, whioh is now and in tho future, moro than ever required. And when these works contemplated are so soon tolbe commenced, and very soon to be completed, thon it will bo seen that Auckland will gain a higher reputation, which, at present, many people designate her as one street City. Auckland, as a commercial seaport- its geo graphical position facing the direct water-way , towards tho mighty Continents of America and Australia and tho numerous islands of the South Pacific—having a niagnlflcont harbour, and shortly to bo connected by railway communica tion with the " Wonder Land of the World" (the Hot L'lkos Country), allowing visitors to ' see Its wonders, and backed by the energy of ltß peoplo, must givo suoh an Impotug to trado and commerce in Auckland that wo, as a pooplo. can scarcely recognise tho important eiTect it has had and will havo upon the rapid growth and prosperity of tho town and surroundiDg , districts. With this in view, tho Proprietor is anxious to keep paoo with tho times, and may also horein tako tho liberty to remark that courtesy, attentiveness, -with a deßlro to pleaso, oreatoa I confidence. 1 A woll-kopt Table and the best of Refresh ments— The Spirits pure and old, f Tho Wines floe and a«elng, The Alos strong and cold.
