THE INQUEST ON THE FIRE IN WELLESLEY STREET.

As? inquiry into the origin of the late fire in Wollesloy-street, which occurred on the 23rd day of March, was held by Dr. Phil son, coroner, and a jury yesterday. Mr G. M. Main was foreman. The insurance

companies were represented, and the several witnesses were examined by Ser geant White, of the police. Tho following, in brief, was the evidence taken :—

Antonio Martin, builder, of Hepburn street, produced tho plan of the building, which he drew. The building was erected for Johanna O'Connell some two years ago at a cost of £235.

Robert H. Stevenson, of the Union Insur anco Company, deposed that the house was insured for £275, furniture £150, Limerick lace £100. Had he known that Mrs O'Con nellwas fully insured in another office, he would not have accepted the risk. Richard Maris Clarke, manager of the South British Insurance Company, deposed that Mrs O'Connell was insured in the South British on furniture for £150 on the 17th of June, 1882. He received a pro posal from Mr Charles Williamson, the mortgagee, for insurance of £230 on the same house. It was mentioned in proposal contract price £255. He could not say whether Mrs O'Connell was present in the ollice when the proposal was made by Mr Williamson and accepted. Had witness known the house and furniture were insured for a similar amount in another ofiice, ho would not have effected the in surance. Charles Williamson, land agent, High street.and residingatDevonport.stated that lie had a mortgage on the house and land for £375. Effected an insurance in the South British for £230 on the 17th of January, ISS3. The policy had not yet run out. The conditions of the mortgage were that the property should be insured. The mortgage money had not been paid to him. He had no conversation that he was aware of on the subject of the insurance with Mrs O'Connoll who had paid off about £10 o£ the mortgage. Johanna O'Connell, wife of Miohae O'Connell, gave evidence as to her suffer ings on the night of the fire, also relating to the insurances. She had been a great loser by the fire ; lost £200 or £300 over amount insured. She could not tell the cause of the lire. She was sleeping at Mrs Wilson's. Was awakened by the alarm, and was astonished to find her house in flames. She could not say whether ehe was in the Scotia Hotel that night, but if tho landlord said so it must, bo true. Her drink must have been ginger ale. (Mrs O'Connell had much difficulty in giving her evidence, boing nearly intoxi cated at the time.)

Michael O'Connell, Sydney Morrison, Stephen Toomey, and William Thompson wero examined as to the outbreak of the fire apparently in Mrs O'Connell's kitchen. Keziah Wilson deposed that, as far as she knew, Mrs O'Connell was not out of her house all that night. Jane Cummerford, wife of Patrick Cum merford, deposed to being on intimate terms with Mrs O'Connell. She was very upset by the fire, and almost out of her mind. Had been in her house to tea.

A good deal of cross-examination of several of the witnesses took place as to the Limerick lace and dresses taken to the Thames by Mrs O'Connell, but nothing of importance was elicited. The jury returned an open verdict, "That there was no evidence to show how the fire originated, but that it disclosed suspicious circumstances."

CIVIL SERVICE RETRENCH MENT.

(bytelegraph—own correspondent.)

Wellington, this day. The "Post" to-night says:—Civil Service retrenchment must necessarily involve a certain amount of individual hardship on the part of those whose individual services are dispensed with. The Government should moat certainly endeavour to redude this hardship to a minimum. Instead of doing this, however, in the case of a number of the recently-dispersed-witb officers of the Colonial Architects' Depart ment, we are informed that something like a heartless practical joke has been perpe trated on the unfortunate gentlemen who have lost their billets. When notice of the intention to dispense with their services was given, it was accompanied by an intimation that they would be liberally dealt with. Subsequently the ordi nary Treasury cheques for compensa tion for loss of office, estimated at one month's salary for each year's service, were sent to the officers through the post. These cheques, as our readers are no doubt aware, require to be countersigned by the paymaster who takes a receipt. On the cheques, however, being presented for his counter-signature the officers were informed that the cheques were stopped, and by way of explanation it was added that doubts had arisen as to whether officers under the Public Works Department were entitled to Civil Service compensation. In a strictly legal sense there is no doubt, or ground for a very grave doubt indeed, on the subject, but the case i* just one of those in which the Gov ernment would be quite justified in disre garding all technical difficulties and in carrying out its original intention of dealing liberally with those officers who, having served the State fairly and well, are now, through no fault of their own, thrown out of employment and compelled to seek fresh paths of usefulness. In many cases the compensation promised amounts to a con siderable sum, and the disappointment, to use a mild expression, which the stoppage of the cheques has occasioned may well Be imagined. Even if the money is in the end paid, as we trust it will be, a cruel, and in many instances, very serious injury will have been inflicted.

George Eggs, an able seaman of the ship St. Lawrence, in a gale of wind fell heavily, striking his right shoulder against a sharp edge of a beef cask. This occurred at sea about three months ago. The shoulder be came greatly swollen from the contusion of the sou, fleshy covering. The captain, be lieving the joint was dislocated, made, with the assistance of a couple of his most power ful seamen, several attempts to reduce the bone. At the last trial something, whilst they were pulling violently, gave way in 1 the shoulder joint, causing a loud crack, which was plainly audible to all around. It appears that terrible inflammation was set up, and the man has not been able to use or scarcely move his arm since, unless with the greatest pain. He had, on coming ashore, fifty days after the accident, been taken to several medical men, and lastly to Drs. Wilkins and Honeyman, who care fully examined the shoulder joint and found very little movement in it, the whole structure being bound down by strong adhesive bands fixing the head of the bone to the shoulder socket. The doctors gave as their opinion that the rough treatment of the captain and two sailors in their endeavours to reduce a dis location, which most probably never existed, had been the main cause of the man's present condition, which is a most unsatisfactory one — the arm, in its present condition, being worse than useless, on account of the sovero constant pain attendant upon the stretching of the new growths in the joint. Drs. Wilkins and Honeyman suggested that the man should be put under the influence of anesthetic, and the now adhesions in the shoulder joint carefully broken off by force, which they proceeded to do this day, they quite agree ing that there was no other course that would be of any use to the patient. In this instance, chloroform was given to Eggs, and Dr. Wilkins, in the quick time of about half a minute, freely moved the arm upwards and round, when the ad hesions could be heard giving way one after the other quite distinctly. The arm after wards could be freely moved in any direc tion. Great care will have to be observed in the after-treatment, otherwise difficul ties will again recur. Most probably, from the length of time since the accident occurred, the patient will never again rogain the easy use of the limb.

To the Editor : Sir,—Being under the impression that bread is sold in 21b and 41b loaves, and being of an inquisitive turn of mind, I conceived the idea of weighing some of the loaves of bread which my baker is in the habit of leaving at my house. Of course, I did not imagine that my baker, who ap peared to be a Christian so far as churcn going is concerned, would descend to dishonesty—not at all. It was mere inquisitiveness. The result of my exam ination, however, soon convinced me that honesty and church-going are not synony mous terms. I weighed several 21b loaves and one 41b loaf, with a result of lilb each for the 21b loaves, and 3Jibs for tho 41b loaf. Ido not wish to become an informer but I should advise my man of loaves to be honest enough to give full weight in future lest I be tempted to make revelations which may exercise a minimising effect upon his revenue.-! am, & Cl , J W ii 08 , '

SUPREME COURT. -Civil Sessions.

YESTERDAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies) Hoiiaia Patuoxk v. Chas. Owen Bono Davis.—Action for possession of land, £20 for mesne profits, and £120 for expenses. Mr Rochfort for the plain tiff, and Mr E.Hc« keth for the defendant.—The plaintiff is a son of the celebrated chief Erneru Patuone, who died some ten years 'ago, and the land which he claims is a piece of 15 acres at the Lake, which his father bequeathed to a nephew named "YYiremu Tara pata, who subsequently conveyed to the present defendant.—Mr Hesketh took a preliminary objection on the ground that the plaintiff, knowing that he could not set up his succession order without showing that the will was not good, now purposed to attack the validity of the will without having given any previous notice of this intention. He had just heard it from his learned friend, and it had taken him by surprise. The pleadings gave no information of any such intention. —His Honor said that, assuming the facts to be as represented, the plaintiff, in order to maintain his action, would have to produce the vesting order showing an apparent title. Then if plaintiff wished to attack the will, he did not think that it could be properly done without giving notice. He would then feel bound to make an order—if he could—for an issue as to the validity of the will to be tried before a jury.—After some discussion as to the advisability or otherwise of having a mixed jury of Maoris and Europeans, it was tacitly agreed to dispense with a jury altogether, and allow the matter to be tried by the Judge.—His Honor expressed the opinion that aquestionof suchimportance as the validity of a will should not be tried in an incidental way, as in this case, more especially as Mr Hesketh stated that he was being taken by surprise. He there fore ordered that the case should be adjourned till July, the parties in the meantime stating issues of law and fact.to be settled in Uhambers^on Tuesday next.

The Court then adjourned,

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Kditor of Evening Stab.) Dear Sir,—l wlßh to add my testimony to the a efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's , Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of. gratitude from persons of known respectability, aDd having satisfied my self of the genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suo- , ceed in relieving me. For the past seven months I have Buffered severely from a palri' * ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the ■ most able treatment on the part of ray medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole system very muoh reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left tbigb, and the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, tu. i forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each - application afforded me relief. At first I re-.7 Rnrded the cessation from pain bi> only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the wire was complete; but I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now • tree from pain—in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried tho Oil in abao lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights nreviously, and my system was verf , low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to tho proprietors of tho Oil, and shall ever continue - to recommend it to every eufferer who comos ' within range of my influence. What medical ■> skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as tae greatest boon of the age. .', lam, dear Sir. ' ~ Yours faithfully, !
