POLITICAL GOSSIP.

(BY TELKGHAPII.-SPKCI.VL REPORTKR.)

Wkiain'utos, this day

An Unmitigated Bore.

Mr Hatch, the new member for Invercar gill, who seconded the amendment to the Address-in-Reply in a rather wearisome speech, wan very roughly handled by the " Post" last night, which says : -" He had . not uttered a dozen sentences when it became evident, that he was an unmitigated bore, witli every promise of developing into a Parliamentary nuisance of the Kees and Speight type. Ilia assuranco appears as unbounded as his wit is poor. The House has rarely, if ever befoVe, been condemned to listen to such an exhibition of pre tentious volubility from a new member as Mr Hatch treated us to last night." The Maori Viow of Politics. A rather peculiar pel it ion was pre sented yesterday afternoon by Taiaroa from the native:; of Motuoka. It commences as follows :— "We have learned that Major Atkinson's .Ministry lias fallen. It is good that it should be dofeated, because it is the cause of all the burdens now resting on us ; that is to say : the road rates and dog taxes, also our reserves, which have been leased in a different manner from that which was in tended. This is why we consider the • iovernment should be removed irom ollice, and not allowed to como back." Civil Service Reform. — Curious Allega tions. The Hon. Mr Buckley lias drawn the at tention of tho Legislative Council to a very important matter, which is embodied in the following questions : -1. If Government will supply to the Council a copy of the report by .Messrs Seed and Batkin on tho Civil Service of the colony ; also a copy of a more recent report by tho same gentlemen and other commissioners on the same subject. 2. If any bill has been printed in pursuance of such reports having reference to the Civil Service of the colony, and when copies of said bill will be placed in tho hands of members of this Council ? Referring to this matter, tho " Post" says :—" It is to bo hoped that a deli nito answer will be pressed for from whatever Ministry is in power. Tha Seed- Batkin inquisition was, we hold, most im proper, and requires daylight let into it. Mr oeod is now, wo learn, actually in Australia on business connected with this subject. The Atkinson Government, it is notorious, had a bill in print dealing witli tho Civil Service question, but. it is said they destroyed all copies before they left their offices."

THE INFANTICIDE CASE.

To-day's Proceedings at the Inquest. [Foil the conclusion of the proceedings at the inquest yesterday fetf fourth pago of this issue.) The inquest mils resumed at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Auckland Hotel, Superin tendent Thomson and Detective Walker being present on behalf of the police. ilr I'.rassey brought under the notice of the Coroner an article in the "Herald" stating that he had protested against the appointment of the foreman, and accusing him of unprofessional conduct and imperti nence, lie had only drawn attention to the the fact that the foreman had been proposed, and he denied that he had protested against Mr Stimpson's appointment. The Coroner: All I have to say Mr Brassey is that 1 have nothing to do with what appears in the papers. Call t-lio first witness. Mary Walseha.m, wife of W. 11. Walse ham, storekeeper, residing at Brighton, sworn, deposed : I have seen the dead body of an infant to-day at the Police Station, and identify it as the body of Mrs Wilson's child, who is now present. I have known her about seven weeks or two months. She was in the houso when wo went there, having rented a room from previous occupier, Mrs Walmsley. I was ill when we took the house, and my hus band told accused she would have to look for another room as he wanted it. Accused was kind to mo during my illness, and at my request sho wqs allowed to remain till she was over her confinement. I was pre sent at the birth of the child. The accused got on very weli for some days and then had a relapse. Sho was quite rational during her lying in, and I consider that sho made a good recovery. Sho had a bad appetite. I cannot tell whether she had much brandy. The- child got on splendidly ; it was fed on condensed milk, bread, and corn-llower. The only time I noticed the accused had any aversion to the infant was on the first day when the nurse said to her, " Here, Miss Wilson, look at'your fine little daughter." The accused replied, " Take tho ugly little beast away." Afterwards she seemed to be very fond of it. Sho vould not put it to the breast. She fed the baby after tho nurse went away, but I washed and dressed it every morning after the nurse went ay/ay. On Friday lest she wanted me to mind the bady for her whils she went out. I saw I could not mind the baby, but sent for the nurse. The nurse camo up and advised accused not to go out, as it was raining. Sho replied that she must go out that day as she had busi ness. Mrs Nome took tho bady to her own house, and accused went out about 3 p.m., returning between seven and eight. She asked me if nurse had brought the baby up and added that she felt so tired sho couldn't go down for it. I then went down to the nurse's, and she brought the baby up. After partaking of some food, accused went f nto her room, and I did not see her again that night. Next morning at 10sho askod me to wash and dresf the baby. I did so, and gave it jnto her arms. At 1 p.m. I again wont into her room, and saw the baby asleep on tho sofa. It was sleeping quietly—it was a very contented baby. It was not a' stupid sleep. I do not know if she ivas in tho

habit of giving the child drops. The sleep, apparently, was a natural'one. I did not know that sho had any laudanum in the house until the constable took it out of her box on Tuesday last. At ,3 p.m. on Saturday the nurse brought soiue clothes up for the baby and remained for two hours, At a quarter to six I found the front door of the house open, and called out " Are you there, Mrs Wilson," imd getting no answer, I went into her room and found that ehe and the baby wore gone. My husband told me that lie had seen accused go out but he had not seen the baby in her arms, and asked me if she had taken it with her. I replied " she had, but I suppose sho has left it at Mrs Home's." Accused returned about 7.30. Sho had no baby with her. I asked her why she wont out a night like that, and she said ehe took the balry to nurse. She did not say with whom. Her hands, boots, and dress? were covered with mud, and she was dripping' wet. She accounted for her condition by saying that she fell coming down Brighton-road, Aftor that she went to her own room, and I did not see her again until Sunday morning at 11 o'clock ; I asked her how she was, and she replied sho thought she had got a cold through going out in the wet. She appeared very restless, and I asked her to take a seat by the fire. She then told me she thought she would have to sell oft' what few tilings she had and leave the house. I then asked her who had cot the baby. Siie replied that it was with a "relation of her husband's. She never told me who her husband was or whore he lived, although I asked her many times. Sho said that this relation did not want to do anything for her unless sho took the father into Court, I said that she could not support the baby herself, when she said: "Oh, the baby is well pro vided for." I said that she ought not to fret as she would soon be well and able to work. Later in the day, as we sat at the fire, shetold me thatthe man whom she called her husband wasa married man and had deceived

her. She said that she did not want to have onythfng more to do with him. On Monday morning she seemed all right, and went out about 11.45 a.m., returning at 2.30 p.m. About 3 p.m. Constable Hobson came to my house and asked her what sho had done with the child. She replied it was all right. The constable said all lie wanted to know was who she gave the child to, and she said sho had given It to Mrs John Wilson, a relation of her husband's. The constable agked where this Mrs Wilson lived, and sho said she had forgotten the name of the people with whom llw Wilson wasliving. The constable said

Asked her the name of the street this person lived in. Sho hesitated and then replied that it was Stone-street, but that that morn ing tho relations had taken tho child to Cambridge, Waikato. At 3.30 my husband took the accused out so that she might point out to him where she left the baby. She did not return to my house again. She has left a quantity of clothing and bedding, one large box, and two small ones in her room Mr Thomson here produced the clothing on tho child when it was found, and a small lire shovel covered with earth, which tho witness identified as having belonged to the accused.

By Mr Thomson : The shovel was usually kept by accused in a cupboard, and was used for carrying coal. I never noticed it witli clay on it before Wednesday, when it was found in a cupboard by Detective Twohey in my presence. [Tho inquest was proceeding as we went to press.]

Wo understand that, in consequence of numerous and pressing requests from influ ential residents, there is a probability of Miss Dargon consenting to givo three of her celebrated recitals early in tho ensuing week. It was tho lady's original Intention to have proceeded to Sydney by tho mail steamer to-morrow. If she can bo prevailed upon to stop, the public may depend upon an elocutionary treat of exceeding rarity. Miss Dai goo is perhapps tho most accom plished lady elocutionist who has ever visited the colonies, and her recitals created a perfect furore in the South.

Mr.l. W. Thomson, member for Clutha, who lias been entrusted by His Excellency with the task of forming a Government, has been a member of tho House for many years, and in the Grey administration ho held the portfolio of Lands. Jle is a hard headed Scotchman, and though toiribly prosy, is generally regarded as a perfect "whale." at finance ile speaks slowly and lugubriously, and his Doric accent is very strongly marked. His personal ap pearance is somewhat peculiar, small oyos that squint somewhat, and a long, inquisi livo-looking n,oso being tho most noticeable features of his face. His clothes never lit him, but his belltopper would not disgrace the Hyperion curls of the member for Auckland City West. With all his pecu liarities he is well-liked, his views aro of statesmanlike breadth, and in his speeches lie carefully abstains from giving ollonco.

No subject of municipal interest is watched with keener yigilanco in tho City Council than that or ward allocation, The tempera ture of debate invariably rises with exceed ing rapidity whon it is broached, and tho battle of the wards ensues. Last night tho matter cropped up on two occa sions. The first was tho reception of tenders for works in Wellington - street West. Or. Montague threw down tho gage of defiance by moving the post ponement of the opening of tho tenders till next week, when the Finance Committee aro to bring up a report on ward allocation. The Councillors of the South Ward strongly protested, but on reference to documentary evidence it was shewn that while £10,000 had been allotted each word this year, the South Ward had already over drawn that amount to tho extent of £1,209 2s lOd. However, as tho Wel lington-street works wero admitted to be nccesary, the tendors were opened, and the acceptance of any of them was deferred until tho submission of tho report already referred to. Tho perturbed feeiings of Councillors broko out afresh on a proposal to re-constitute tho committeo which deals with tho subject of ward allocation. Three wards have a preponderance of representation upon it, and the proposal to rostorc the balance proved to be besot with difficulty. Cr. Crowther n ccasioned much mirth by hotly opposing tho retirement of any East Ward veteran in favour of a younger colloague, on tho ground that tho older man had tho run of the ropes, while his young coadjutor was new to tho business, and might bo " taken in," a calamity which ho could not regard with equanimity. At length this matter also was deferred.

At the R.M. Court to-day, before Mr H. G. Seth Smith, the case of Hesketh and Aitken v. Mullaly came up for hearing. This was an action brought to recover £50, the amount duo on two promissory notes of the defendant assigned to the plaintiffs. Mr S. Hesketh for the plaintiff's and Mr M. Hogg for the defendant. Tho caso for the plaintiffs was that they had taken over from Mr Layers two promissory notes, on which appeared tho name of tho defendant. The contention on tlio part of the defendant was that he had paid the older note in com pany with the maker shortly after endorsing it, and five years before it was assigned by Lavors to the plaintiffs. With regard to the second note, 1-ho defence ro^tod upon tlic allegation that it had been satisfied, an express understand ing between Layers and the defendant having been made that certain monies of the defendant should bo appropriated by Layers to discharge it. The evidence of tho defence tended to show a very lax condition of accounts existing between Layers and tho defendant, and that the first note had been paid by the maker, but His Worship held that it was insufliciont, and gave judgment for the plaintiffs.
