Tho Cost of Returns,

Mr Hurst has a happy knack of doing the right thing at the right timo. Yesterday, after Mr Hutchinson had moved for a batch of returns that will cost many pounds to prepare, Mr Hurst rose aud gave notice to move for a return of the cost of returns last session. When this is bofore the House it will astonish members. It will show those members who seek a little evancscont popu larity through continually moving for re turns on all conceivable subjects, that they are responsible for the overdrawn condition of the Civil Service. The returns moved for last session, I am credibly informed, cost over £10,000, And thoir preparation caused the employment of a number of extra clerks, not a fow of whom contrived to turn their temporary billets into permanencies.

An Expcnsivo Railway .Return.

Aprapos of this matter, I may mention that to-day Mr Mitchelson will lay on the table a return moved for last session by Mr Wright, member for Ashburton, showing the separate items of which a sum of £49,000, railway traflic roeoipts, was made nip, Tho compilation of this return, though it only contains about forty lines, •cost £600 12s. Its preparation 'has occu pied many months, millions of waybills having to bo oancollccl.

Bonk of Now Zealand Penalty. Mr Hutchinson today asks the Premier Sf the penalty of LSOO incurred by the Bank of New Zealand for hoglecting within tho statutory time to send in tho last quarterly return of assets and liabilities to Govern -merit, has beon or will bo exacted ; and if Dot, why not. Mr George yesterday presontcd a petition from John Greonlief, asking that tho re commendation of Hie Petitions Committee of last year be carried out.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Labour Agencies.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —Kindly allow Us spaeo in answer to & paragraph printed in your paper of Thurs. day, June sth, with referenco to tlio con duct of our labour agency. It is true we advortised for a dork for . timbcV yard at a salary of £1 per week and found, and it is also true that a so-called clork applied for tho situation 5 but it was rather to get rid 0. the man that 30s was asked as a deposit. Before sond ing applicants to employers they always leave a deposit, and in tho event of not obtaining a situation, the wholo of the money is returned. Wo think the Editor of the Star should at least have made further inquiry, beforo ho published so untrue and damaging a state ment as that made in tho paragraph re ferred to. Wo find that nhless a deposit is made in many cases tho parties obtain in formation from our office which places them selves or friend into situations. It is true labour agencies as well as printing agencies " only desorve to oxist in so far as thoy aro publio conveniences, and when they coase to bo so, and are mere devices for making money out of necessitous poople, they deserve to bo exposed." Our office has taken a position amongst a res pectable class, both of employers and employed, and is above the remarks you have made, and we trust when further com> plaints are made to you, you will, In. justice to ourselves and the public, seek for reliable and trustworthy information.—We are, &c., R. M. Heiohton & Co,

[We are glad to learn that Messrs Heigh ten and Co.'s agency is above tho charge of being an instrument of extortion, but it would have been more satis factory had the "damaging" state ment about the 30s been proved to be " untrue." On the contrary, the agents admit making the demand, but plead that it was "to get rid of the man." We have no objection to the principle of applicants leaving a deposit, but can see no justification for asking it to be as high as 30s. The straightforward way to "get rid" of an applicant is to tell him that he won't suit, or that the placo is filled up.—Ed. E.S.]

The Mackelvie Presents.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Seeing the remarks mado by your correspondent, giving an account of an in terview with Mr Mackelvio at Paris, leads me to ask the Town Council, through your columns, why it is tho publio hoar nothing about the Art Gallery and Public Library ? Mr Mackelvio may well be annoyed at the delay and want of energy shown by the Town Council in this matter. The excuse given )>y the architect whose design was supposed to be tho best, was in my opinion, not a. valid one. As events have turned out, I believe it would have been much better if the Town Council had em ployee! a competent architect; and there are architects living in Auckland quite capable of undertaking the erection of the building. If this had been done at firafc, instead of having to wait for an indefinite number of years, wo might have had the satisfaction of seeing the Art Gallery and Public Library approaching towards com pletion. By the last English mail I received a letter from Mr Mackelvie. Ido not feel justified in quoting from a private letter, but I may say that your correspondent's remarks aro quite in accord with Mr Mackelvie's desires as to suitable rooms being procured to receive his presents. He also gives me an account of a number of beautiful curios and rare works of art, which he intends to give to the Auckland people. I. hope Mr Mackelvie's patience will not be tired out by the apathetic delay of tho Town Council.—l am, &c, Albin Martin.

ANNUAL LICENSING-COURTS.

KARANGAHAPE.

(Before IX Goldio (Chairman), P. llorapatli, ,1. C. Wilkes, J. Morrison, and Enoch Wood,

Licensing Commissioners.) Tins annual sitting of the Kttrangahapo Licensing Court was held in the R.M. Court at noon to-day. There was n moderate attendance of publicans and tho general public. Mr Cotter, as on previous occasions, appeared for the Licensed Victuallers' Association, and a number of other legal gentlemen were specially engaged, while Supt, Thomson repre sented tho police. The business gone through was as follows ;—

Tran-sfku. Kino's Arms Hotel—John Lynch to Joseph D. Donovan.—Supt. Thomson said that ho had no opposition to oiler, Mr Donovan had formerly conducted satis factorily the Whau Hotel. Renewals. Kino's Arms Hotel — Joseph J. Donovan.—Supt. Thomson reported that the imperfect furnishing of which the police had previously complained had been remedied. There had been one conviction during tho year for Sunday trad ing, but it was obtained against the pre vious licensee.—Mr Cotter explained that tho imperfect furnishing had been caused by tiie departure of tho former lessee, and ■that so far as the Sunday trading was con corned tho owner had safe-guarded himself by providing for a determination of the lcaso for any violation of the Act.—Tho Chairman pointed out that tho arrangomont under which Mr Jagger let tho house—vi_ , that tho lessee should toko oil his liquor from him,was a pernicious one. * There had beon a great deal of illicit traflic in connec tion with tho house, and a billiard table (since disposed of) had been the resort of all tho larrikins of the place. Tho petmltfcs for Sunday trading hitherto ?iad been alto gether useless. A recent -brawl at this hoAse had ended in a f reo tight, through which the brother of Iho lessoo had lost hie aim, nnd it had sinco been amputated. In future cases wherein tho law was not strictly en forced, tho Committee, acting under tho 7Gth clause of tho Act, would refuso the licenses. Had tho other Committees n'cted wisely, thoy would have pursued this course oven now, but as they had not, tho Karan gahapo Committee would content itself with giving the warning that if tho law wero not cbsorved, tho liconse would be withdrawn at tho next quarterly sitting.— After Mr E. Hcsketh had also spoken, the license w as renewed.

York Hotel—William H. Rijilov.— Superintendent Thomson said that ho had not been prepared for tho application from Mr Ripley. He had notified tho present lessee, Mr Retallick, that on account of hie constant drunkenness ho would oppose a renewal of his license As, however) Mr Ripley was desirous of taking Watt the license, ho had no objection to oiler.—Mr Alexander spoke in support of tho applica tion, ami mentioned that Mr Ripley in tended, as soon as ho got rid of Retallickj to improve the furnishing of tho h<_uttS.— The Chairman, after etprssstttg surprise that Mr Ripley had not soone. discovered tho drtinktm habits cf his tenant, mentioned that when they visited the place they fOUnd tho lessee drunk, and thoy had also ro ceived numerous complaints against the house. Th«y had therefore formulated five objeot'onstothorenowalof thelicense, viz,:— (1) That tho applicant is of drunken habits. (2) That tho premises are not In sUt'h ft con dition that the Bench would feel wartahfed in granting a license. \,S) That notwith standing the failure of tho police it. obtain ing a conviction against the proprietor on a late •occasion for soiling intoxicating liquor during prohibited hours, the BSnch are satisfied that Sunday trading has been indulged in to . l_£o extent. (4) That the licensing tiftreof is not required in the neighbourhood. (5) That the premises are in the immediate vicinity of a placo of pub lic worship, and two public schools.—Tho explanations made in Court that day, of course, disposed of tho first two of theso objections, but upon the others tlio Com mittee had vi olved to tako action against tho house itself. In order, however, t hat- Mr Ripley might net bo taken ttnawara. they wore prepared to grant an adjofitn* ment of tho matter. —On Mr Aittxandor's application, the fu.thte'r consideration of the application Vva. therefore adjourned till the 20th test, at 2 p.m. Queen's Hotkl—Henry 11. Swindle}-. — Superintendent Thomson stated that tbo poJ.ce report had pronounced tho premises to be slovenly, but since then ho had paid visits and had found, the place on each occasion, clean and in good order.—The Chairman said tho Committee could bear out the police reßprt, and thoy had also heard that for somo tiino past tho placo had beon a complete pandemonium, but as tho complaints had now ceased, the condition of things had probably altered,--Superin tendent Thomson remarked that ho also had received similar complaints. — Tho Chairman announced that the Committeo were not prepared to grant a renewal of tho liconso titho presolit lessee, but they would adjourn the application for 11 days, in order that tho namo of an applicant might be submitted who would bo satisfactory both to thorn ond the police.—Mr Cotter sug gested that a caution to the pre sent licensee would " suffice. The Chairman said that the . Bench Wore firm in their determination hot to grant a renowal of tho license to Mr Swindley.— Mr Hesketh contended that a transfer after that day could not be granted till tho first of July.—Mr Cotter denounced the action of tho Committee in prejudging cases with out allowing tho accused persons ahy oppor^ tunity of clearing themselves. He looked upon it as a most un-British>like proceed ing, Tile Chairman replied that the Bench derived their power under the 63rd section' of the Act, and they wero the judges as well as having authority to be accusers. They were prepared to grant an adjourn mont so that the leasee might havo tho desired opportunity of defending himself. Both tho Committeo and the polico had hoard complaints against tho house, and it was manifest that it Was badly conducted. —Mr Cotter suggested that the Bench should in future prepare a list of Good Templars who would undertake the conduct of the various hotels.—The Chairman re joined that Good Template neither desired to conduct the hotols nor to enter them' as purchasers.—Mr Cotter made an appeal to the clemency of the Court, and mentioned in doing so that the present lesseo intended t) sell out, a statement which Superinten dent Thomson corroborated. The learned gentleman concluded by begging for a little grace in order to quietly effect tho transfer. —Tho Chairman replied that the Committee wore determined to refuse Swindley a licen6o, but they would renew it till the Ist July in order that a temporary transfer to an ap proved person might be applied for, euch transfer to be ratified at the next quarterly sitting.—This 'Compromise was agreed to, and the license was therefore renewed on the understanding that a temporary trans fer should be made on the Ist July. Newton Hotkl.—Samuel Williams.—No objection.—Mr Cotter submitted plans for 8 or 9 rooms additional, and Superintendent Thomson* stated that the alterations had been already commenced.—The Bench de cided to renew the license, provided the alteration, were completed by the next quarterly sitting. Star Hotel—Patrick Brophy.—No ob jection. —The Chairman suggested tho ad visability of altering the name of the hotel, as there was another Star Hotel in the city. —Renewal granted. •Edinburgh Castle Hotel— John Thomp son,—Tho Chairman said that the Bench understood there had been a large amount of Sunday trading in connection with this house, but they had no proof of it. As in other cases, however, if these things were sheeted home, the license would be can celled. Tho hotel itself was in first-class condition, and was ono of the best in the district. Superintendent Thomson remarked that there had been frequent complaints of Sunday trading against the three hotels in the vicinity of Kyber Pass, and of these the Edinburgh Castle ap peared to be the worst. Sergeant Gamblq (who lived in the vicinity), however, in formed him that since the Licensed Vic tuallers had resolved to abandon Sunday trading the law had been strictly observed by tho lessee of the house in question.— The Chairman having expressed the hope that this resolution would be kept, the re newal was granted.

Hotel Lights. air Cotter made a formal application for the exemption of publicans from the main tenance of hotel lights after 10 o'clock, and its consideration, as in the case of other districts, was adjourned for a fortnight. Ten o'Clock Licenses.

The Chairman remarked upon the absence of any applications for an extension of licenses beyond ten o'olock.-Mr Cotter re plied that the applicants had regarded it as useless, after the course pursued in other districts. The Court then adjourned.

A OUEER INSOLVENCY.- FRAUD SUSPECTED.

A rather suspicious case of insolvency is just now being investigated by the Official Assignee. The, bankrupt is Samuel Joseph Moncrieff, boarding house keeper of Wairoa, near Ohine rnutu, ana his liabilities, which amount to LB7B I2s, were all contracted within the compass of a year, his capital when he started business being £170. Messrs McArthur apd Co. are bitten to the extent of L 619, and Mann and Co., of Tau ranga, are interested to the amount of Ll5O. The only assets, are book debts estimated to produce Ll5O, and the leasehold interest in a house which is valued at L3OO. Under examination at a meeting of his creditors, the bankrupt declared that at the burning of hi. store he lost L4OO worth of goods, and Ll6B in pound notes, which Tie had rolled uj) in paper and placed upon a shelf in the room adjoining his bedroom. Ho could give no par ticulars, however, concerning these notes, and had no means of ascertaining their numbers. The whole statement was so unsatisfactory that the creditors appointed. Mr C. C. McMillan, supervisor in'the estate, directed the bankrupt to file an account of his trading since he commenced business, and requested the assignee to ascertain inter alia whether the bankrupt had not (1) concealed or removed part of his property; (2) wastefully dissi pated his property after his insolvency in such a way as to defraud his creditors; (3) attempted to account for part of his pi'operty by fictitious losses and expenses; (4) and disposed of goods obtained from McArthur and Co., aud Mercer and Co., otherwise than in the ordinary course of trade. Some strange disclosures are an ticipated.
