CORRESPONDENCE.

The Oracular and Adhesive Chairman.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—To say that the STAK'sreport of Mon day's meeting of the Devonport Highway Board was amusing would convey but a feeble idea of the exquisite enjoyment which it caused to everybody—save one. Of course, what is fun to the boys does not present itself in that light to the frog, as the fable tells us. But it does scoin " hard lines " that Mr Edward Hammond should have been so effectually " hoist on his own petard" as to have had the press re presented in order to oblige himself, and then to find that a true and faithful record of the proceedings was the reverse of flattering to Mr Hammond. That worthy and rather prosaic gentle man has been so sat upon recently that his intellect (or what, by courtesy, passse for such) seems to have become a little clouded, which probably accounts for the very nebulous and misty character of his deliverances on Monday evening. And it also accounts, no doubt, for the curious fact that he wa3 unable to make up his mind (or what he calls his mind) aa to whether tho denounced and crushed " absent member " wrote certain anonymous letters. Allow the " absent membor " to assist the adhesive Chairman in coming to a decision. He (the a.m.) had nothing whatever to do ab any time with tho writing.or sending anony mous letters to Mr Hammond, and only learned of such an occurrence through being accidentally in a group when it was being discussed with much hlarity. The " absent member " was not likely to adopt this furtive line of attack, seeing he had never been at al! mealy-mouthed in denouncing Mr Hammond's sslfishness in acting in detianco of the Board and of the ratepayers—in his own presence. He says he retains the chairmanshipfrom a high sense of " dooty," because several influential ratepayers asked him to be Chairman, tho fact being that those very gontlemon (under the altered con dition of things, brought about through his leaving tho district) are now willing, and even anxious.for him to be relieved from his arduous and trying duties. Why, two of them actually supported the following reso lution, viz.-.—"That tho retention of his seat by tho Chairman is in the grossest bad taste, is an insult to the Board, and is detri mental to the interests of the district." So much for "dooty," which in this case really means a quality possessed also by the porcine pet, dear to the home of the humble Hibernian.—Yours, &c, The Absent Mem bee. . P.S.—There is one error in your report which may aa well be corrected. It speaks of the first resolution—requesting Mr Ham mond to resign—having beon passed " when that gentleman was absent." As a matter of fact he was present, not only on that occasion, but also on the subsequent one, when the above-quoted emphatic resolution was pu* to the meeting by himself, and carried unanimously—barring his own vote of course.—The A.M. ■

PENDING DIVORCE ACTIONS.

Matrimonial Infelicities.

After a more than usually long period of Immunity from caßca involving the settlement of domestic difficulties between man and wife and the release of the ill-assorted pairs from marriage vows, the Court seems likely to have its hands again full in a very short time. Already there are pending two actions for divorce and one for judicial separation, and several others yet in limirie promise disclosures of a rather remarkable nature. Of the three suit 3 Which are now definitely pro* greasing towards trial, one has already been into Court and adjourned, viz., that instituted by William Swanson. jun., against his nativo wife, a case in which there does not seem to bo any opposition. The alleged facts ap peared in print some time ago. Another; and more recent action is that which has been commenced by Alexander Lamb) o£ Orakei, for divorce from his wife ( Lizzie Lamb, on the ground of her alleged adultery with Alfred Kdmund Coagrave, of ltiverhead. The peti tioner is a carter and contractor resident near Remuera, on the Orakei side, and the reputed destroyer of his domestic happiness a dashing village baker. Lamb waa mai'ned to his wife, Lizzie Lamb, nee Lizzie Reid, at tho house of James Reid, in the fcpsom district, in January. 1878, and under the shadow of Mount Eden tho young couple lived in- comparative tranquihty for sev eral years, the wife meanwhile giving pledges of her affection in the forms of a boy and,, a girl, born respectively in 1879 and 18sl. At the be ginning of the present year the serene atmos phere of wedded bliss became overcast with trouble. The husband was led to suspect tho fidelity of his wife, and to conclude that hern, iations with the gay and festive baker of River head, whose visits had suddenly grown very fre quent, were too pronounced and amorous to be altogether platonic. It is needless, and plight not be edifying, to dotail the various moments of tho widening estrangement between husband and wife. Sutiice it to Buy that the liulj took up her residence at Eden Terrace, that the deserted Benedict advertised his deter mination to pay no debts contracted, by hia wife, and initiated the proceedings under notice. Finally he broke up his home by tiisuosing of his household furniture: yesterday. 11.-' -!.i in, s divorce on the ground that on various occasions between the 7th and loth of January last (inclusive), and between the latter date and the ISth of February, his wife committed adultery with tho co-respondent C'osgravc in her house at Orakei. As tho petition was only Hied on Monday, the other parties to the action have 17 days ye', within which to give notice of opposition and to slate their line of defence. The third pending c;i3e is a suit for judicial separation prt.-frm.Mi by Catherine Godkin against her husuaud, George Godkin on tho -round of continued unkindncss and cruelty. The petitioner is . a sister of Jlr Pollock, formerly a butcher in Quoen etreet, and so long ago as January, 1871, win married by the Rev. R. F. Maemoql In the house of her sister. Mrs Thomson (then living iv Harding-Btreett, to her present husband, George GodkiD. They subsequently kept an hotel at Drury, and in tho course of time two sons woro born to them. The current of marital affection seems to have been rudely disturbed at an early stago. According to the wife's allegation, her husband committed the first of a series of assaults upon her in August, 1871, by striking her on tho face. In IS7G he is stated to have thrown a jug of water over her, caught her by the throat and threatened to choke her, besides striking heron another occasion about the head and faco. In 1378 it is alleged that ho threw a cupful of hot tea in his wife's face, pulled her hair out by handfula, and that on other occasions ho draeged her out of bed and kicked her, besides tearing her clothes and driving nor naked through the house. Tho last alleged assault is stated to havo occurred on tho 18th of January last, when the wife was twice violently driven out of tho hotel. It Is also averred that she had frequently sought refuge among her frionds, invariably returning homo, however, on the promise ot belter treatment, but that since the 19th of January last she has been earning her living as a domestic servant. Tho petition was filed on tho 7th inst, and up till date no answer has besn returned to it.

SAD TRAGEDY.

Two Children Drowned.

(by TELEoiura —mess association.)

It is beliovod that her mind has beon slightly affected sinco her confinement nino months ago. This afternoon she went out for ft walk, taking hor three children, two boys, 3J and 2J years respectively, and a baby, a girl. Two men subsequently saw tho oldest boy holdin" on to willows in the river, and roactied him. Tho mother was scon with her olothoa wet. Sho and tho rescued child wer« taken to the Hospital. The bodies of the othor children havo been recovered. In answer to Inspector Pendor, ths woman said at ono tirno that tho ohildren had fallen in, at another that sho did not know how they got into tho river.

McFarlane has charge of the list, and has already collected a sura of about £200. It has not' yet been decided what form tho presentation will take, but the fact that such a sum should have been collected for the purpose named testifies to tho high popularity enjoyed by Mr Eean.

The Licensing Election for Ararimu dis trict, embracing Helensville, took place at the township named yesterday, and was keenly fought by the temperance party on the same lines as the city and sub urban elections were contested.
