Deputation to Mr Bryce.

Anotiiir proof of the growing desire of the King native* to open their lnnds to European occupation was afforded on Saturday, by a deputation waiting on the Eon. the Native Minister, -who is presently In this city. The deputation was headed ~ by Hopa, one of the principal Kingite chief?, aod proprietor of a large tract of land ia the \Vaipa Valley. Hopa requested Mr Bryce to give him paimissiou to nave a survey made of the land in question, which liea southward of Kihikihi, in order to further proceedings being taken to have a block put through the Lands Csurt. Mr Bryce- approved of the intention of the chief to have a survey niado of the land, and also to have the title determined by the Land Court. As it was desirable the survey should be a correct one, it was right that a Government trigonometrical survey should be made; and he promised that such a »urvey would be at once made, after which oidinary surveys might proceed. The deputation appeared satisfied with this arrangement, and, having signified their acquiescence in the Minister's proposal, withdiew. The block of land in question, is, we believe, of a very fertile description, and will doubt less prove of great value when placed ia the feurket.

THE LATE RAIN.-FLOOD.

Thk weather during last week, which in Auckland, prior to Saturday, was close and muggy with only ruoderato showers, ap pears to have been productive of heavier rainfalls in various country districts, and we hear of floods from several quarters. »bout a quarter of a mile on the Auckland side of Pukekohe an embankment for a space of 30 yards was completely washed away, leaving only the rai!s and sleepers hanging. A Dive-inch pipe had been provided at the embankment to carry oil' tUe usaal flow of water, but a torrent came over the adjacent paddocks carrying everything before it. The damage caused an interruption to the line, and id is announced by advertisement that no goods can be despatched south of Runcimau Station until "Wednesday next. Mean while, however, passengers are trans ferred from a train on one side ot the gap to a train on the other s:Ue. Other damage was done by the floods in this vicinity. A bridge on a road leading to the [house of Mr Adams and: other set tier- was carried away bodily, aiid washed a quarter of a mile down into a swamp by the railway. The dam at Mr Pilgums mill was also carried away, and the whole flat by the station was converted into a lake Some parts of the Great South road are likewise reported to be damaged. The rains have been welcome at the bush mills, a large supply of timber has been received at the Whangaroa mill (Auckland Timber Company). A despatch from Whangapoua to the New Zealand Timber Company, dated Sunday, saya: '-5000 lojs down Opitouui. Large numbers down Waitekuri and Dodd's creeks." From the Shortland sawmills (Mr htone's) advices come of 3000 logs. Very large quantities at Tairua and Aratapu aio advised by the Union Sash and Door Company. In Auckland, the downpour between Saturday night and Sunday nnrniog was very heavy, but the damage caused is trifling. The following telegram from our Thames correspondent givci further parti culars of the floods on the Upper Thames riieri-

2'he Thames Hoods.

THAMES, Saturday.

Heavy floods hare occurred on the Ohinemuri River. Two bridges en the Tauranga Koad and the Owharoa bridge wore destroyed, and the Paeroa steame<r wbarf and shedß were washed away. The To Aroha coach stuck at Komata Creek, and the passengers had a narrow cs- CaCtt'ttlc were swimming in the paddocks between Paeroa and Te Puke. The Btorm was heavy in the Waitekauii Valley. It will take several thousands of pounds to repair the damage.

COROMA>DEL. this day,

• A tremendous downfall of of rain took place yesterday afternoon. The approach to the main bridge was washed away. The whole street was Hooded in the afternoon, and big logs were seen being carried by the current down the centre of the town. Both sides of the thoroughfare are strewed with cumbrous debris. At Whangapoua 5000 lo°s were got down to the booms. Tha Opituni booms broke away, and a lot of logs 1 got adrift, but they can be recovered.

NEW PLTMOUTH, this day.

Very heavy rain fell during Friday and Saturday and on Sunday morning till about four o'clock, The rivers have not been so hi°h for years, yet the only damage to be heard of is a culvert on Wfcitara Railway bursting and ripping up aoout two lengths of rail which wss repaired yesterday, and another culvert buisiing the roadway on the junction road between New Plymouth and Inglewood. At Waitara about 200 feet of a temporal y etooe wall was under mined and washed down and some other damages done to the extent of £60 or £70. At tie New Plymouth Harbour Works there bas been a landslip near the fishing rock, which will assist the next blasting.

MEETING OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION.

Judge Gillies's Denial

A meeting of tho local members of tho

legal profession convened for the purpo3ooJ considering a letter received from Mr ' Justice Uillies ia reply to the resolution of ' a former meeting, was commenced late this aftarnoon in the K.M. CourHions-n Present: Messrs James iui-sell (chair I man). E. Heokoth (secretary), H. William

son, A. Brock, J. M. Alexander. J. C. Mac- Cotmick, E. A. Maokcchuie, W. J. Hill, T. Buddie, B. Browning, C. T. Buddie, F. Earl, J, M. Speed, C. S, S, Georgo, E. T, Dufanr, F. Brookneld, W. H, Armstrong, W. Coleman, J. Blades, E. Cooper, A. W. O'Neill. The Chairman stated that-, in pursuanco of the request of the previous meet ing, ha had forwaided copies of its resolutions to nil the Judges (Mr Justice Gillies included), and to all the Law Societies in the South. Almost im mediately afterwards ho received a reply from Mr Justice Gillies, and as it had since appeared in a certain weekly print, he had deemed it but right to disavow any resnon sibility in any connection wi'b its publica tion. He bad bad nothing to do with that. The letter was then read as fol'ows :•- Mr James Kussell, Sik, —I have tho hononr to acknowledge receipt of yours of 20th inst., covering reso lutions pa'.std at a meeting of cer'ain mem bers of the profession relative to the case of Reg. y. Gudgeon. I have to tbank the members of tho pro fession who have thus given me an oppor tunity "'of explaining and vindicating my conduct in that case. To the peraateut- and malignant mis representations of my conduct us a Judge, cii this and many former occasions, by a portion of the public Prc:s 1 disdain to reply, knowing well how Jiitle thinking men are ' influenced by such cowardly attacks f.om behind the hrd.^o of journal istic anonymity. But wben any members of the profession consider themselves aggrieved by any judi cial utterances of mine, aod boldly and frankly express their grievance, I consider it not only my duty but a pleasure to be equally frank with them, and to give them such explanations as may either remove the'r grounds for complaint or vindicate the propriety of the course I have adopted. In veforenco to the third of these reso'u tions, which expresses i egret that I "should have stated to the jury in such cjso my opinion that the counsel for the accused, in supporting a defence on the ground of con sent by tho prosccutrix, were not doing their duty as honourable men," —permit me to say that if I made such a statement, no one would regret it more than myself. But I made no such statement to the jury, nor did I say anything that could bo reason ably construed into conveying that meaning. What I did state to the jury was this, that tho attempt to provo consent on tho occasion charged, by the insinuation of tho exis tence of previous adulterous connection between the accuied and tho prosecutrix, wa?, on the ■part of the accused (not as to the conduct of couns>e<, which I shall afterwards deal with), a mean, base, and dishonourable Hue of defence, and would be so evoo if it wore true and capable of being proved. ~,,.. 1 am aware that the ttandard of what is honourable or dishonourable varies in dif ferent minds, such vaiiation principally arising from the education and suiround ings ot the individuals. But I do not thick that I am singular in hatinp been brought up to look upon tho coiduct of Adam as mean and dishonourable when he endeavoured to shift on tho woman tho blame of his having eaten tho forbid dea fiuit (whatever that may mean) saying, "Tho woman whom Thou gave3t II to bo with me, sho gave mo of tho tree, "and I did eat." At school I have been taught—and I hope it is so taught still that the boy who seeks to save h's own skin by putting the blamo of a fault upon another, equally or perhapi more guilty than himself, is a msan cowaid. In tho commercial world I have generally hea d it considered dishonourable when a merchant, having made a distinct, undisputed vorbal bargafo, endeavours to evade his ju«t liability by taKnig advantage of the legal defence of the Statute of Frauds, or a pi a of infancy. If such be true ttaudards of honour-as I conceive they are—what is o be said ot a man who, to save him self from punishment, proclaims t'jo wonnn whom he ha* seduced from her marital allegiance, to be an adulterers and himself an lidultcrtr ; who says to her in cflect, " Having ouce consented to "surrender yourself to my illicit em •'braces, you shall never hereafter refuse, " nnder penalty of my proclaiming yoiT "dishonour, and I Bhall thus save myielf " from ths consequences." If such con duct be not dishonourable, I have yet to learn tho meaning of the word dishonour. »or is tho matter altered by the fact that such eridencQ is legally admissable. The Statute of Frauds and the pica of infancy are legal defences, but the setting of them up where the defendant has no equitable ground for dispuiidg his contract lias been reprobated alilto by Judges and the rner. cantile community. Enough, however, as to the character of the defence on tho part of tho accused. To my mind it was mean, bate, and dishonour able, and I can only pity the want of moral perception of those who do not see it in the same light. I now come to the consideration of tho du-y of counsel in reference to such a defence And here let mo say that neither directly or indirectly did I suggest anything dis honourable on tho part of the learned coun sel engaged in that ca<!e. On the contrary, I expressly stated that I imputed nothing dishonourable to them, and complimented Mr Hesketh on the tact and delicacy dis played in the peifoimance of what they must have felt to bo a very unpleasant duty. I do not believe that either of the counsel engaged, loth of whom I so highly respect for their ability, courtesy, and honourable conduct, could have supposed for one moment that I intended to imputo anything dishonourable to them, until the malevolent comments of tho Press suggested the possibility or my words being to mii* construed. If anyihing I mid wounded their f jeling*, I can only apologise and as sure them that nothing was further from my intention. But I did what I conceive it was my duty to do in laying down the general mlo as to the duty of counsel in regard to dishonour able defences set up by their clients. I stated then what I still maintain : That no counsel is bound nor «s he entitled as an honourable man to set up for a client a defence which he knows it would be dis honourable in the client himself to tet tip. This I should have thought to be a Sflt evident proposition, but I will quote, in support of it, ono passage from ono of our best known wtiteis on the subject of the duties of an advocate. Ho fays: " But it is cot in civil cause* "where the rights of parties depend go "much upon technical and conventional "rules, but in criminal cases that the " chiel odinni is incured by the profession "and if the license which we Bometimes "see boldly challenged on its behalt to " sacrifice every consideration to the one " object of enabling a client to escape con " viction were necessary for its exercise, it "is not .easy to tee how that odium could '< be repelled. Such a license all right " thinking men repudiate, and it tends only "to the dishonour of. a noble calling to re "preatntitasrequtringandjustifying!theu?e "of trickery and falsehood. The principle is "as clear as noonday that no man ouyM to 11 do for another what that other cannot, "without moral turpitude, do for himself. "The advocate stands before the tribunal "to plead the cause and represent the per " son ot bia client, utimur mini fictions " personarwin et velut ore alieno^ loquimur, " but he cannot possibly, by virtue of his " agency, acquire rights greater than are " possessed by his principal, tie may not "assert that which he knows to bo a lie. "He may not connive at, much less at "tempt to, substantiate a fraud." And I would addj he may not make himself tho mouthpiece of a dishonourable defence. It bas been -noil said that the advocate ought " to cherish that chastity of honour " which feels a stain like a wound" ; and my sole object, in what I have said and written, has been to endeavour to impress on the members of the profession the necessity, of keeping themsolve3 above tho suspicion or reproach of dishonour. In a colony like this, iv which we have not yet a highly educated and culti vated public opinion developed, as in i the Home Country, it becomes peculiarly ! the duty of the Judges to endeavour |to maintain the standard of honour nmongßt the profession, and, if in endeavouring to do so, I incur critlc: sm or opprobrium, or eren the ceDsure of my brethren of the profession, I shall console myself with the inward nssuranca that my efforts will ! not be without their good fruit in the future.—l am, &c, Thomas B. Gillies. Auckland, I'clrnary 21st, 1883 Mr Hesketh asked if the letter had been published by any member of the profession.

) Tho chairman eaid that it had not, so /far as he knew, been published by any ! member of the profession—at any rate, by any member practising as a solicitor. ' Mes3rs Heiketh ana Hill, as the persons 1 who had had the letter from tho Chairman, j both distinctly disclaimed any share iv tno I responsibility of publishing the letter. It had never left thefr hauds. Mr Hill further • said that he saw the letter in piint almost I aa soon as he saw the original.

Every man should be left to the dictates of his own conscience. Ho himself would at once re sign his counection with the Church uulobs such relief as he had in dicated were offered by tho Assembly.
