The plaintiff purchased the animal from one Davis, who had pre viously given a bill of Halo over his stock to the defendant who entered under the powers contained in thfo bill of sale, ant seized the stock in Davis's possession, and also the one in plaintiffs possession.— Pho Hale from Davis to Totter being a bomjtde one, the question for the decision of ■ tho Court was whether tho defendant was (1) entitled to the possession of the cow, and (2) if so, was ho entitled to seize and tako it out of tlie possession of defendant without suit» —Hie Worship, in giving judgment, said that the samo must bo for plaintiff. —That as tho defendant had suffered Davis to havo possession of tho cattle, and to hold himself out as having not only tho possession, but tho property in them, and that ho sold tho one in question to the plaintill', who bought it in tho ordinary course of tho business, and without any notice tliut it did not belong to Davis, the sale wo." "ood. Under tlus authority of the Nationaf Mercantile Hank v. Hampson ah RQ B D 177, such conduct by implica tion conferred a license on Davis to carry on-'hie business and dispose of the goods to as to givo a valid title to a purchasor. In any case the defendant would not, under i ho circumstances, bo justified in seizing tho cow. His proper conr*) would bo to demand tho possession from the plaintiff, and on refusal tike legal proceedings against him. As to the value, ho thought £5 was a fair price for tho animal. Judgment would therefore bo for Die plaintiff for £5, with costs £2 10s. Frank Williams v. Robert Wright- Claim, £14 10s 3d. Mr Theo. Cooper for tho plaintill', and Mr (leorgo for the defen dant.

Mr Josiah Martj*, J?,G.S., F.S.A., has returned to town after a six weeks' photo graphic tour in tho Lako District, bringing with him a portfolio of novelties. Tho chief prize is undoubtedly .tho unprece dented eruption of To T/irata on November (itli. Mr Martin had encamped at llotoma hana : tho night was intensely juojd, and shortly dofore sunriso ho got up for 0101 ---ciso, and carried his camera to the top of the hill, with the idea of getting a sunrise view of tho lako and fcorraocc. Just as ho reached tho summit ho obsorvfld a vast column of water projected in the air from tho great cauldron of Te Tarato. By comparison with the adjacent hill, this column was soon to bo 200 feet high ; and tho stoam column whioh onvelopod and capped it, 500 feet; tho top of tho over iwngjnq cloud of raponr was estimated at 900'fre.t, Mr Martin's photograph of tho singulst Hght is an admirablo ono, tho column being ews.adjngly woll-defined in a gray morning landscape,, fil tor completing his surrey of the Kotorua rffSfrict, Mr Martin went on to Wairakei, Mr liohuf Graham's estate, near Lako Taupo.

GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL.

Presentation of Cortifiratos.

THE annual presentation of certificates to

the successful pupils of tho Girls' High School took place yesterday afternoon in

ic Choral Hall, celw being lent to the

proceedings by n very largo attendance of ladies and gentlemen. -The front half of the central seats was occupied by the pupils of

the school, and Uie remaining portion as well as the side seats was entirely occupied by the visitors, while the boys of the Grammar School filled the gallery. Mr U.

obbs, M.11.U. (Chairman of the Board of

Education), occupied the chair, supported on the left by Sir U. M. O'Rorko (Chairman of tho University College Council), I'ro fessors Tucker, Thomas, Brown, and Aldis, Mr Neil Heath (Headmaster of Girls' High School), Mr (J. i. Bourne (Headmaster of (irammar School), MrP. .). Moss, M.H.H., Col, llaidlain, Mr McArthur ( Principal of

lie Training Collce), .Mr l>. 11. MeKeiizie, Ir .iames JJabor, Mr K. .1. O'HiilJiv.m Chief Inspector of Schools), and .Mr V. K. lice (Secretary of Hoard ol Kdncation), Iso occupied seats upon tho platform. Tim Chairman, in Ms opening address,

dweh. at Millie lenpth upon the mantra pro vision made lor the accommodation of the school—a shortcoming which he hoped to sue soon repaired. The school for many years past had been plodding on in com parative- obscurity, and parents did not •seem lo fully realise the value of the re sults that had been achieved. However, the reports of the professors after examining the school Uiis year fully attested the worth of the work that had been done. Besides that, lie felt it but fuir to make jminted reference to the high moral tone which per vaded tho school. In this connection he commended to tho attention of tho young

indies the address of Lady Jervois, which

appeared in the Stak a few nights dffO. That lady had clearly shown the necessity for [rirls to lit themselves for the battle of life. There was too much of Ilippancy

and frothincsH about most of the edu cational systems for young lad ion, and lie was glad to know that Koundor and nobler principles dictated'tho method pursued at thoCirls' High School. Tlie CiiArusiAN, after pointing :\ moral by telling an allegorical story, said lie had hoped that the presentations would have been made by the Mayoress, but as it had devolved upon himself, lie accepted it with pleasure.

My fairest, child, 1 have no gontf to t'ive you, No lark could pipe: to Bkius so dull and Kroy Yet, ere we part, one lesson I will leave you For evury day.

Bo good, sweet maid, ami let who will bp clever Jloiiolile tlihiK-i, nul dn:;un them all cl;iy lonK And so make life, deatli, and that viibt for eve:

Ono grand sweet sontf.

Sir G. M. O'Roiikk expressed the high gratification which lie folt in being prifiloged to assist at any ceremony con nected with the Girls' i li^h School. He was deeply interested in nil branches of educa tion, and he deplored the feuds which very often wore sought to be fomented between the governing bodies of its various divisions. He exhorted the young ladies to follow ardently upon tho course to high dis tinction which had been traversed with lesa advantage by tiio Misses Bdger, and said that he was highly pleased to learn from tho report of such a distinguished scholar as Professor Tucker that tho pupils of tho Girls' High School bad acquitted them selves with such exceeding credit. Ho hoped, too, that those who had attended school for the last time that day would not abandon their studies, but that they would cherish and nurture those seeds of learning which hud been implanted in thorn ; that they would not rest satisfied with the knowledge they had acquired, but would strive after tho expansion of that knowledge in order that they might transmit Jjio. torch of le&rimg whic'ii'iiJJ^ebt!'placed in tJirJjr hands with undimmed lustre to those I 'who followed after them.

Professor Buows delivered a pleasant anecdotal address, in tho course of which lie advised the pupils not to altogether neglect their studies during tho vacation, and pointed out tho increasing value of Knowledge which many people wore apt to regard as abstruse infor mation. They should not only bo

acquainted with the chief towns and rivers of the world, and be able to handle satisfac torily the ride of three—for these tilings would be found not so valuable after all — but they should learn to observe, to think, and to reason, They learnt Euclid so that, they might be taught to reason logically, and they learnt' Latin not simply in order to read certain old authors, but becaußO the analysis

of the words and sentences taught thorn composition and the value of words. It was much the same with science and the other branches of education. Above all, they woro not to look upon their teachers as their enemies, but as the friends who wero equipping them for a successful fulfilment of the duties of life.

I'rofessor TucKEK said that anyone who had perused the report he had mado of tho Girls' High School would find that the strong points of tho pupils wore many, and tho weak points very few. Ho then went on in an amusing way to men tion a fow of tho typical blunders that an examiner usually faced. He complimented pupils upon the conciseness of their answers, which was much better than ho had seen anywhere elso. Thcro was a science in answoring, andho suggested tho advisability of greater practico for examination, lie was pleased with tho, healthiness of the Latin aud English systems in tho school, the subjects liaving been chosen most judiciously, and tljo pupils haying boon taught in a liberal and enlightened mani)or. Tjje purest models in both systems should bo s-elr.ctod and ndherpd to. After an aliusion to the exploded method of educating girls wherein what nre called " accomplishments" held a prominent place, ho went on to say that there was a tendency nowadays to rempvo all emulation from competitive examinations, a proceeding of which ho did not approve. It was by tho determination " not to bo boaten " that tho Anglo-Saxon race was largoly what it was, and competition entered into all tho other affairs of life, Ho counselled each of his young hearers not to bo oontcnt* with being hotter than she waa, but to bo the best in tho school. Ho hoped the school would maintain its placo a.s tho best in tho colony,

Professor Thomas congratulated the Ponvd of Education aiul tlio inauagomont of tho school upon the successful way in which the various branches of education wero studied. Ho neither considered that the subjocts sot tho pupils woro too numerous nor that givls should be expected to learn less than their brothers. The Professor went on to im press upon his av.dienpo the importance of learning thoroughly the lawn of nature, and, in concluding, ho reminded the pupils of the Oirls' High School that their studies should not end with their school days.

Professor Alms .suggested that perhaps the audience by that time, sated with pro fpssovial spoeehes, would be inclined to'cry (jainsatis. Hosvpyer, tho proverbial l;os>pjr tality of Aupklandprs )fqujd (loubtlc.ss. prompt them to tolerate another speoph, sooing tliat ho was a strangor. The gentle man thoii v^nt' on to detail the manner in which the Cambridge lopal c\;mii|i!('l<Wa were initiated, and thence he showed what a great deal had been accomplished within tho last twenty years in improving tho cducatipnal status of women. Ho had himself taUcii a vpry groat li|t(br rest and an active share in the admission of women to University degrees and tho other honours and privileges of high educa tion. Hero the gentler sex wero especially favoured, for the old restrictions aud bar riers in this respect had been swept away,

and he was confident that such a state would produce tho happiest results.

Mr F. J. Moss, M.H.K., said that on his part ho dreaded tho system of competitive examinations, seoinji' that it was so largely associated with what was known as "cram," It was to Im boino in n;ind flint colonists could not allow their children to attend school to a groat ago, and therefore it was hotter that they should learn a few things well than get a smattering of a great many subject?. Tho University after till would give the tone to tho schools, and supply the incentives to efficiency and success, lie hoped the pupils of the Girls' High School would enjoy their holidays as thoroughly as they had worked during the year. Thp Chairman of tho Board of Education then presonted the certificates to tho success ful pupils [whose names were given in our last issue].

Mr Heath, having been called upon to address the audience, explained that not the slightest preparation was made for the Professors' examination, the regular work being only slightly interrupted by it. It was said that they made an effort to como out well on theso occasions, and that was true in this respect, that that effort was made during every day of the school course. Ho was ploasod that Professor Tucker had found out for himself that the know ledge of the pupils, as ho himself said, was not iixod, and not tho result of cram. The throe girls who had taken tho highest honours would go on with the University course, and he felt sure that they would acquit themselves

with credit. He then went on to explain why the sixth form had been backward in history and geography, and why, also, they hod only done a limited amount of algebra. Tho Girls had stuck loyally to their work, and he hoped they would heartily enjoy their holidays. . After an assurance from the Chairman that while Jic remained in the Board of Education everything possible would be done to promote tho interests of the school,

"LE NEO ZELANDAIS."

The December number of "Le Neo Zelandais " will be found to present highly interesting reading matter for its sub scribers. Chief among its contents there is n lengthy reply from Professor Tucker to Mr Villoval'a animadversions on his state ment that "when one knows Greek and Latin the .study of French or Gorman is no more than child's play." The learned Pro fessor admits that for many classes of people there arc brandies of study more necessary than classics, but he contends that the dun nulties of I'Ycnoh and (Icrman are as nothing in comparison with those to be overcome in learning Orcel: and Latin, and that for one who Tike himself, has nfcudied these lan-nia-'cx, the difficulties of which other learners of French and German complain have no existence, in the course of an equally long rejoinder, Mr Villcval twits tho L'rofessor with un ungrammatieal use of French, lie says :—" I Imvo taught, and 1 Htill teach, French to persons who have studied (ireok and Latin, and I find that these pupils, etymology apart, have as much difficulty as the other in learning our language. For ex ample, 1 have seen some of them translate the English conditional by the im perfect of the French subjunctive, and others put the verb in the singular when several subjects were united by the con junction ni (neither) etc., etc. In fine, Mr Tucker himself gives us an example of that which I assert, for his French, very correct as to the expressions, sins in very many places from a grammatical point of view. He seems particularly to afi'ect the use of the future and conditional, but in revenge he neglects that of the subjunctive." Mr .Max Muret writes an interesting letter fromDiinedinandCapitaineMoucheforwards his usual contribution from Ohristchurch. There is also a letter dated from "No Matter Where," and, besides that, a full budget of art and literary news, a report of the concert given to tho ofiicers of the Eclaireur, and a column and a-half of in structive matter for the students. The wonder is that such a cleverly-written and valuable little serial can bo produced for the low price of threepence n. copy. No one learning or acquainted with French should be without it.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor : Sir,—ln your article in Monday's issue, "The Triumph Catas trophe)," there is a paragraph headed " Statement by tho Diver," which contains Gino inaccuracies, which, I am sure, your ove of fair play will allow me to explain in your columns. I consented to accept £'20 from Mr L. D. Nathan in compensation for tho loss of time and expense to which his breach of the agreement had subjected mo, although that sum fell far short of my ar.tual loss ;it lias not yet been paid me, J then entered into a contract with Mv Snell (who was acting on behalf of Mr Nathan) to sling the iron, &c., as in your report, but on going to the wreck to perform the work I found the hatches battened, cemented, and " tomneddown " for tho pur pose of injecting air into tho foro compart- _ raent. As a matter of course it wasouji^'iiii )\ns3\\A&/:tr^i&Aar4^t*t!nytltfatZ until the hatches were opened. 1 waited f»t the wreck a day and a-lialf, and as no stepn Were taken to prepare for my work, and as a N.E. gale was imminent, I was compelled, with the rest, to leave. The last period in tho paragraph is evidently written nmIPV misapprehension, as I certainly never made any statement of the kind.—Apologising for intruding an your valuable space, I am, yours, 1.V.C., Hojskkt Wm, Haddock.
