Sir Frederick concluded by citing cases in support of his contention. Mr E. Hesketh maintained that there is no corporate or cruasi-copornte body known as the Ngatiwhiti tribe, which can to nomine bo a party to a lease. • As a tribe it had not contracting power, and hence in the case under notice, its acting in that capacity rendered the lease bad. Conse quently, as it had no p.wer to mako a base, Mr Tole had no power to execute it. Left Sitting

AUCKLAND SOCIETY OF ARTS.

The fourth annual Exhibition of this Society will be opened to-morrow evening by His Excellency tho Governor. The Hanging Committeo havo been very busy at work to-day in the Choral Hall putting the exhibits in thoir places. The latter number rather more than last year, though the area coverod is, porhaps, not quite so large. Thero are 114 oil paintings hung, the average standard of which is undoubtedly higher than that of the last Exhibition, They are, of course, nearly all landscapes, and many varieties of Now Zealand scenery are well represented. The artists seom to have gone fuither afield, and not to have worked so near to the city as formerly. The familiar outlines of the North Head aro jiappily this time conspicuous by their absence, at least among the oil paintings. Southern Lake scenery forms the subject of a considerable proportion of pictures ; but there is not a single view of the Hot Lakes of the North Island. It cannot be com plained that the native nnd peculiar characteristics of this colony are in any way neglected; tho present collection is posi tive proof to the contrary. It is true that the Maoris themselves havo no place, but that is only saying over again that tho time for original figure painting and draw ing is not yet in New Zealand. Even those artists who might be expected by their previous attainments to attempt the moro difficult department of art, viz., tho delineation of the human figure, have de clined tho task and applied themselves to landscape alone. The Maori has yet to be worthily pourtrayed on canvas. Tho Loan Collection promises to be a good one. Sevoralof tboMackelvie collection from the Museum, including Armitage'. "Dawn of tho First Easter Sunday," have a place. Those who have not yet seen this grand pic ture should make use of tho present oppor tunity of doing so. Other striking pictures are : __" Message from tho King,'' by Lec coni; " Cattle," by Chiativa ; " Sheep on the Cotswolds," by Briton Riviere, R.A., who is among the foremost animal painters of the day. _ The following is a list of the special prize awards of the Society : — Silver Medal and Prizo of £2, Mr Gilmore, for best pupil's study from Round. Bronze Medal and Prize of £1, for best Outline Drawing from Flat, Miss Nellie Havlll. . . „ Silver Medal for special artistic excellence to Mr Samuel R.

Tea culture is extending. At Taviuni tho planters uso local tea in preference to the imported article. Referring to the prevalence of assaults by natives on white women, the "Fiji Times" says—"Ten years ugo, beforo Her Majesty's Colonial Government assumed rule in Fiji, Europeans wero objects of re spect throughout tho group. Their women folk especially were held in esteem—almost in voneration—and enjoyed an absolute immunity from insult or annoynnco. From tho day tho first Governor ontered upon his tcnuro of office until now tho con stant official effort has been to degrade the European in the eyes of the native, to elevate the native at the expense of tlio white man, to sneer down in the native mind the idea, till then firmly fixed, of a ' superior race,' and to increase official im portance by making it appear to tho native that all outside the circle arc mon of no consequence whatever." Ono thousand Fljiaiiu have joined tho Blue Ribbon Army.

SLAUGHTER-HOUSE LICENSES

A coukt, consisting of Mo«Brs H, G, Soth Smith (Resident Magistrate), F. G. Clay ton, and F. L. Prime, sat to-day to hear the applications from Messrs Fisher, Hellaby, and Hulme for tho renewals of slaughter-house licenses. A lengthy argu ment took place respecting tho jurisdiction of the Bench to grant applications under the Slaughter-houso Act, 1877. Mr Cotter, for the Newton Highway Board, contended that that body has the necessary power, while Mr Theo. Cooper, for Messrs Hellaby, and Mr J. A. Tole for Mr George Hulme, maintained that the Bench was the authority. Tho Court decided in favour of the lattor contention, and tho ronowals to Messrs Fisher and Hulmo woro granted. In tho case of Messrs Hellaby, Mr Cotter, on behalf cf the City Council, opposed tho application on the ground that the slaughter-house was within half a milo of tho "city boundary, while Mr Cooper, on bohalf of tho application, argued with the object of showing that the ex tension of the city boundaries could not affect a slaughter-house which was in existence beforo tho change. Tho Bench also agreed with this viow, and granted tho ronewal.
