London, August 7 Now South Walos Loyalty.

A debate took place in the House of Commons last night, consequent upon n statement by Sir Evelyn Ashley to the effect that the Imperial Government had signified their approval of the step taken by the New South Wales authorities in re moving from the Commission of the Peace certain justices who had subscribed a dis loyal address presented to Mr Red mond, the emissary of the Irish National League. Mr Healy gave notice of motion that he would, on a future day, move for a return showing the number of members of the New South Wales Parlia ment who had been sent out to that colony as convicts. The fifte in commemoration of the cele brated ride performed by Lady Godiva through Coventry was celebrated in that town yesterday, and passed off most suc cessfully. Bismarck has been decorated by the Emperor of China. The Irish Informers in Australia. A deputation composed of the Agents- General of the Australian Colonies has waited upon Lord Dolby to protest against the action of the Imperial Government in shipping the Irish informers to these colonies. They asserted that as the step had been taken, and the Colonial Govern ments had prevented the informers from landing, it was the duty of the Imperial authorities to take the responsibility of having the men returned to the United Kingdom.

The "Standard " this morning comments upon the position taken up by the colonies in reference to the informers on board the I'uthan. It contends that the colonial authorities, in refusing to allow the men to land, acted unconstitutionally, and that this action was calculated to encourage murder and prevent criminals in future from giving information of crimes in which they had participated. Mr Murray Smith yesterday laid before Lord Derby the diilieulty of the position in which the Victorian Government were placed, owing to the attempted landing of the Irish informers from the Pathan. He urged the Imperial Government to give their immediate attention to the matter. A Land League Growl. In the House of Commons last night, Mr Healy again referred to the step taken by the New South Wales Government in dismissing Justices of the Peace for subscribing to the Redmond testimonial, by a request that Government should inform all intending emigrants from Ireland that Irish colonists in New South Wales wero being submitted to systematic prosecution at tho hands of the authorities. Mr Murray Smith has had an interview with Lord Derby, Secretary of State for the Colonies, with regard to the reported in tended annexation of the New Hebrides by France. Tho ordor recently issued by the Admir alty directing the British corvette Frolic to proceed to Mauritius has been counter manded. The Insurrection In Spain. A severe engagement has taken place between the insurgent troops of Catalonia, and the soldiers who were despatched by the Spanish Government to suppress the rising. A large number of civilians in tho disaffected districts have joined the ranks of the" insurgents. It is rumoured that the Carlist party, encouraged by the present un settled state of tho country, contemplate another rising. The French Government aro despatching reinforcements to Madagascar fiomßeunion. In consequence of the censure passed upon Admiral Pierre by the French Govern ment for his treatment of the captain and officers of tho British war vessel Dryad, he has resigned his office of commander of the French force at Tamatave. French Criminals in the South Seas. The "St. James's Gazette" in an article to-day refers to the apathy displayed by the Imperial Government in connection with the deportation of French criminals to the Islands, of the South Pacific. It contends that, in ignoring the earnest protests of the colonies, England is acting unwisely, and that such action must tend to impair the connection which has hitherto existed be tween England and her colonial possessions. A festival in honour of Martin Luther, the reformer, was held to-day at Erfurt, a town of Saxony, in which is situated the monastery of St. Augustine, containing the cell of Luther. The festival was most suc cessful, about one hundred thousand persons being present. Sedition in India. The British authorities in India have seized a number of seditious letters as they were in course of being transmitted through the post on tho 7th inst. The Emperors of Germany and Austria met to-day at Ischel, Upper Austria, accord- , ing to previous arrangement. The inter view was of a most cordial character. Several ironclads belonging to the Ital ian Government are mertacing Morocco. A Lancashire Volunteer team has won tho Sargood prize, valued at £40. Fears are entertained that the overflow ing of the Nile this year will bo unusually severe, and disastrous inundations are anticipated. The Rev. Dr. Thornton, Bishop of Bal larat, has been engaged for sometime col lecting subscriptions in England for the funds of his diocese, and has received a fair share of support, the subscriptions amount ing to £5,000. .'The Bishop will leave Eng land for Victoria on the 25th inst., travel ling via San Franpisco. '"''''" '~'■ air Gladstone on Paclflo Annexation. 'Mr Gladstone last night referred to tho proposal made by the Australian colonies to annex New Guinea and the New Hebrides. He stated that his opinion on the subject had undergone no change, in spite of the representations made on behalf of the colonies, and that he strongly'con demned the proposals. The Manchester CanaL-The Lords Block the Way. A debate took place to-day in the House, of Lords upon the report of the Select Com mittee appointed by that Chamber to con sider the scheme for the construction of a ship conal from the Mersey to Manchester. The Committee reported favourably to the project, but the House of Lords rejected tho report. Londok, August 12. It is reported that dissension lias arisen amongst the members of the French Cabinet over tho manner in which the Madagascar campaign is being conducted, Some Ministers censure the War Depart ment for the delay which has taken place in the military operations. They contend that France should pursue a moro vigorous policy, especially now that her troops are suffering from diseases at Tamatave, in con sequence of the Hovos having cut off their supplies. The Pope has issued an encyclical letter to the Roman Catholic clergy of Spain on the subject of the present Republican rising in that country. He commands them to induce the people under their charge to abstain from taking any action in the re bellion against King Alfonso. The Austrian Government has decided to formally annex tho provinces Bosnia and Herzegovina, which were formally ceded to that empire under tho treaty of Berlin. The Governments of Germany and Russia are actively engaged strengthening the garrisons on their frontiers, It is new estimated that tho yield from the present grain harvest will be 2,000,000 quarters less than the return last year. M. P. Piorry, the recently appointed Minister of Marino in France, has expressed iiis approval of Admiral Pierre's conduct in relation to the officers of tho British ship Dryad at Tamatavo. Arrangements are being made in London for tho emigration of people from that city to Canada upou a gigantic scale. Tho French authorities in Madagascar have been negotiating with some inferior native tribes of tho island with a view to inducing them to render nssistancetothoFrenehtroops, and they havo already succeeded in enlisting 300 men belonging to ono of these tribes. Annexation Prospects Improving. Mr Gladstone complains that his state ments with regard to the annexation of New Guinea and the New Hebrides by the Aus tralian Colonies havo been incorrectly reported. It is now probable that the Imperial Cabinet will reconsider their decision, and allow tho islands to be an nexed, subject, to certain conditions. % The official trial of the torpedo boats which have been constructed for the New Zealand Government has been postponed for a month. ■ Two Steamers in Collision. A collision has occurred at Cape St. Vincent between two steamers, named re spectively the Ghuznec, en route for Ade laide, and the Wclwyn. Th Welwynsank in a very few minutes, but all on board suc ceeded in reaching tho Ghuznee safely. An examination of the Ghuznee showed that sho had only sustained slight damage. Mr Gladstone, in reply to a question in the House of Commons yesterday, stated that it was premature for the House to dis cuss the proposed scheme for tho construc tion of a ship railway at Suez, as the nego

tiations in relation to the second Suez canal had not been finally concluded. The Pope h as despatched Cardinal Howard to Devlin with a view to the settlement of the differences existing between tho German Government and the Vatican. Cardinal Howard had an interview with Prince Bis marck yesterday, but particulars of the meeting have not been made public. Colonisation of Now Guinea, The scheme for the annexation of New- Guinea has arousec. so much interest in London that a party of English capitalists have resolved to form a company for the purpose of colonising the island. In the House of Commons last night, Sir Stafford Northcote referred to Mr Glad stone's recent reference to the annexation question, and characterised it as most un satisfactory. The French authorities at Madagascar are showing a disposition to moderate the demands generally made upon the Govern ment of that island, and a peaceful solution of the difficulty is anticipated. France has published her official ultima tum to the Aimamesc Government, and failing compliance with her demands,active warfare is anticipated.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE CHARGES

AGAINST A

SOLICITOR,

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I ask to be allowed to refer to the re port of the case of Robert Taylor v. J, C. MacCormick, heard in the Resident Magistrate's Court, on Thursday last, and published in your issue of the 21th, for tho purpose of correcting it in certain respects, and of showing that there are no grounds for the charges made against me by the solicitor in this case for Taylor at the hear ing of the case. The claim by Taylor against me having arisen from him bein» defendant in the case of Gibbons & Co! against him mentioned in the particulars of claim in this case, I shall firstly state shortly the facts of the case replying to Taylor's claim against me! In that case the plaintiffs sued for the balance of the price of goods supplied by them to Taylor, after giving him credit for the priceof certain firewood supplied to them by him. Taylor admitted the supply of the goods and the price claimed for them, but he claimed for the firewood a price higher than the price allowed to him in that case by the plaintiffs. The sum claimed by him for the price of the firewood being less thai) the balance of the claim by the plaintiffs Taylor, to avoid paying the costs of the hearing of the case, required to plead to a part of the plaintiffs' claim a set-off, and to pay into Court a sum equal to the part of the plaintiff*' claim not met by his set-off, and their costs to the date of the payment into Court. I shall now state the facts proved at the hearing of this case:—l was retained to defend him in the case Gibbons and Co. v. Taylor on the 16th July last, , and before that date we were strangers to 1 each other. The day appointed for tliq hearing of that case was the 26th July last, and on the ISth an agreement was made be tween the solicitor in that case for plaintiffs; and me as solicitor for the defendant, Taylor, that the hearing should be postponed till the 2nd inst., and the defendant might deli ver a set-off not later than the 30th of last month, and I obtained this postponement in order to enable Taylor to go tp Tryphena, to obtain there ' ihe money required- to pay into Court. I say that the agreement as I state it was proved to have been made, although there was a conflict between the evidence of a witness for the plaintiff and my evidence as to one of the termsof theagreeinent,beiiigthe delivery of the set-off on the 30th July last, because, in consideration of other facts proved, it was more probable that my ver sion was correct, and my evidence in this respect was corroborated. Taylor went to Tryphena to obtain this money," and on the 25th July last he paid me £14 6s Id to pay into Court in that case. (The reason of my giving the receipt of £15 5s for this purpose, although proved, I do'hot think it necessary now to state.) After the 25th July last and before 30th July, the solicitor in that case for the plaintiffs inti mated to me that he would not accept a plea of set-off. I must now depart ifrtiu stating the facts proved, in order to show the position Taylor was placed in by this refusal to accept a plea of set-off. In a case in a Resident Magistrate's Court, without the special leave of the Court,. defendant cannot plead a set-off unless notice thereof is given to the Clerk of the Court and a copy served on the plaintiff in the case twenty-four hours before the day appointed for the hearing. Without ob taining leave of tho Court to plead a set-off, Taylor, after this occurrence, would derive no benefit from paying into Court tho sum ho proposed to pay, as without the sot-Off a portion of the plaintiffs' claim would re main unanswered, and Taylor would have to pay the plaintiffs' claim for tho costs of the hearing of the case. I return to the statement of the facts proved. On the Ist inst. an affidavit made by Taylor was sworn and filed in that case to support an application for an order' ; by: th- Court directing the postponement, of the hearing to the 23rd inst., ,and that the defendant have leave to pjeacLa set-off, to be delivered not later than the 20th inst., and on the_2nd inst. fin affidavit of the service on one of the plaintiffs, in that case of a notice of this application made by Taylor was sworn and filed in that case, and on that day the hearing-ef this application was adjourned to the : 9th inst. by the Justices of the Peace then.pre siding. On the 9th inst. I appeared to sup port this application, and the solicitor for the plaintiffs opposed it. After some argu ment the Resident Magistrate of Auckland intimated thathe would not allow a set-off to be delivered, and that he would not grant* postponement unless the claim and, coats were forthwith paid into Court. After stating that the defendant could not forth with pay into Court the claim and costs, I obtained an adjournment to enable-me to consult the defendant as to the course to, be pursued. After a consultation with Taylor, and with his assent, I stated to the Gouft that he would not appear to defend .if ttfo weeks were allowed him to pay the amount of the judgment in order to enable him in the meantime to apply for a now triahof the case. The affidavit made by Taylor to sup port his application was prepared by me from statements made to me by him, and re duced into writing and read to him before this affidavit.' This affidavit, before it W4S made by Taylor, was read to him by me, and before he was sworn ho stated to. the solicitor taking his oath that this affidavit had been read to him, and that he under stood the import of it. The affidavit of ser- ■ vico of tho notice of this application,'and ' the duplicate of the notice annexed totMi affidavit, were read to Taylor before ho mado this affidavit. I shall now shortly state facts relating to this claim agaifflt mc, not proved at the hearing of this case. My defence to the plaintiff's claim in-this case was that on the Ist inst. tho directions given to me as -to the disposition by me of tho money received by me from the plaintiff to pay into Court were revoked, and remained re voked at the commencement of this action. I did not touch any money until after the 16th of this month, when Taylor, for the first time, demanded from me payment of £15 ss. On the day after the judgment in this case was given, I told Taylor the amount of tho judgment, and ! reminded him of what I had told him during the adjournment on the day in which judgment was given, granted to enable i»e to consult with him, that I had then ad vised him to state th_S he would not appear, so that in case of the application for tho now trial of the" case, Gibbons and Co. against them, being made, that it need not be made'to the Resident Magistrate who gave judgment in the case; and before Taylor left me on the 10th inst., he told me lie would see me immediately oh his return to Auckland from Tryphena, to which place he said ho was going alone. Taylor did not see me again after the 10th inst. until the 16th inst., when he called on me at my houso and demanded the return of £15 Ss. He repeated this demand on the 18th inst., and on my refusing to pay this sum, M served mo with the summons U this case. I have received' fwm Taylor no other sum than this'sum oi £15 ss. I say nothing in reference totM fact of judgment having been given against me, except expressing my belief that it W0? in some degree at least owing to my no having the assistance of a solicitor attne hearing of this case. I say nothing more with reference to the observations on W conduct towards Taylor made by the «»J* citor at tho hearing of it than that I chal lenge inquiry into my conduct.—l am, s. i J. C. MacCokmick. Auckland, August 27, 1883.

P.S.—I regret that I could not wn*e,™ reforenco to this case bofore now, as ac / in such circumstances is unusually dang* ous, but I hope that the publication'^ »» letter will remove false impressions ma™ by tho charges against mo remaining, un answered. ••'—
