One of the Roches said, " What do yon want here';" Witness re plied, "A glass of beer, the same ib your self." David Roche said, "if you want a hiding, you are come to the right place for it."

A CHRISTCHURCH DIVORCE CASE.

The Operatic Artist, the Barmaid, and

the Private Detective,

{BY TKW.fJRATH —OWN COUKESFONDENT.)

CirßisTCiiiußcn, this day

In tho Divorce Court yesterday, in the ease of Towle v, Towlo and others, Judge John stone reserved his decision till September 22. Tho question of tho domicile of the petitioner was raised, and as the petitioner had been examined by commission, His Honor had no opportunity for examination as to collusion. The following ovidenco was led : — Rev. Mr Watson said ho know Henry Fiances Towle, who must have been here three or four years before his marriage by license, on .March 23rd, 187S). His wife's name was Jane Hall, and she was described as a spinster. They lived in; Christchurch several years after the marriage, and he was teaching music andi acting as organist . Patrick Bree, labourer, residing at Wellington, said he knew petitioner and Mrs Towle, In April last he was at the Star Hotel, Wellington. Mrs Towlo was there as barmaid. Tho husband was staying at tho National Hotel. Towle and others told witness that Mrs Towle was there employed as a barmaid. He remembered .the night of April 21st. There was a bar upstairs in the billiari-room. Mrs Towle used to go up about half-past seven to open the bar. Witness went to his bedroom about half past twelve,' and was in it when another "entleman was shown upstairs. His name was J. H. Walker. Mrs Towle was at that time in the billiard-room. Walker asked if there would be anyone about that night to digturb him. The barman said there would be no one about, and asked if the bedroom Walker was shown into would suit. Walker said it would. About twenty minutes to one he saw Mrs Towle go into her own room not quite opposito the room where Walker was. She remained there ten minutes, when she came out and went into Walker's room, where she stayed till 7 o'clock in the morning. Witness was about all the time, watching her, partly. Was instructed by Towle to watch her. Saw Mrs Towlo attempt to come out of Walker's room in the morning, but when she saw witness she went in again. Walker then . came out and inquired whero his boots were. Mrs Towle afterwards asked witness what business iie had at j the hotel. Told her he was a boarder. | She said she know what business he had there from tho day he came. Witness made no reply. She said that she heard | Towlo put witness there. To His Honor : Was out of employment at the tirno. Towle was directed to mo by a detective or sergeant of police. He went to him for a person who would watch. I had been navvying, working in a timber yard, driv ing horses, &c, but had been out of work about seven weeks previously. I had been working at Dunedin and hud applied to join "the force," and had ' been recommended by Inspector Woldon. | That was how I had got known Js tho police. I had not known Towle before. He paid me for tho job. To counsel: Tho same morning about half past ten, Mrs Towle came out from behind the bar with a whip behind her back. She made an attempt to whip me. I walked away. Part of the Wow caught me just round the neck. Mr llowell Young, solicitor, said ho had written to Towle at Brisbane, and within the last week had received a remittance irom him there. When the proceedings were j commenced Towlo was in New- Zea- | land, and it was intended tho trial | should come on at the June sittings, before ; the Opera Company, with which lowle was connected, left the colony. It was impos sible to bring tho case to trial before the Company left Ne.v Zealand. Tins was all the evidence, and no appearance was made j on the part of the respondent.

The Town Clerk to-day received the resignation of Mr T. Thompson as City Councillor. Mr Thompson has taken this step because of his election as M.H.R. for •City North.'' 'It is understood the,extra ordinary vacancy thus caused will bo filled .up at the forthcoming annual election.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

[From On; Sri-cui, Lonmos Corrk

I'O.NDK.NT,]

Loniion, July 4. Sir Julius Vokol's London Reputation. The announcement of Sir Julius Vogel's determination to ro-eurer political life in New Zetland has created lint little surprise. For some lima past it has been evident he v,as losing ground, not only with Colonial but. also with (he Anglo Colonial com munity. His attempts to got into the Imperial Parliament was a fiasco, and the various electric light enterprises winch he relied upon to give his fortunes a fillip, did not realise expectations. Alto gether, thoro was nothing for it but a de termined coup d'etat, and this, with the energy of "20 rather than of ailing (JO, ho has attempted.

McArthur & Co. and Samoan Lands. Since .1. E. Redmond has returned .from Australia he ?eems to have taken a great interest in the affair.; of the colonies. One day hist week he addressed a question to the Under-Seeretary for the Colonie.- about McArthur and Co., but not receiving a L.-Uisfactory answer lie again asked a ques tion on Juno 27, and this time succeeded in rousing the dormant ire of Mr A. McVrthur, and in extracting a reply from his Sphinx like lips. [The particulars of this we have already published.] Anxious to know more about the matter, I endeavoured to see Mr Redmond, and after some little trouble suc ceeded in finding him one morning at his house in Clapham Rise. Mr Redmond re ceived me most courteously, and on my slating that I could not understand the case, gave me the following account of the matter, which he avers isabsolttoly correct:

—On the visit of Hie Western Pacific Com missioners to Samoa last year they found gross abuses existing on land owned by Messrs. MoArthuraml Co., and managed by a man named Cornwall, who said he was in the employ of that linn. On this be coming known in Auckland, McArthur and Co. disclaimed all connection with Corn wall, who immediately published an agree ment between the linn and himself, by which it was shown he Has their agent, In revenge for this McArthur anil Co. fore closed a mortgage they held on Cornwall's land ; and, in addition to this, sequestrated land belonging to certain natives of Samoa. "These facts," said Air Redmond, "are proved by documents in my possession, and 1 am notat all satisfied with Air McArthur's answer to my questions. 1 hope to ask mure questions on the mailer if 1 can get a chance." From what Icm see of tho case, Mr. Redmond seems to owe Messrs McArthur and Co., of Auckland, a grudge, and takes this way of paying it.

A New Colonial Land Company.

A new company has just been formed to buy land in Auckland and Hawkes Bay. It is called the Auckland and Hawke's Bay Laud Company. 1 do not imagine the Company will turn out a success, for then: is only one person on the Board of Direc tors who is even remotely connected with New Zealand. The London " Figaro," which is always suspicious of New Zealand ventures writes this about the new com pany :—"lnvitations to invest in New Zea land companies should bo instinctively regarded with susdieiou. for years New Zealand has been bleeding the British public. It isabont time the process ceased. The Auckland and Hawke's Bay Land Company is not even one af those enter prises that at first blush promises well. There are six directors. Who is Sir William Smith ? What is the commercial standing of liobort Angus, (59, Holland Road: ill- Thomas Gordon, The Albany, Liverpool; Mr .John V. Rees. Cobhnm, Surrey: Sir D. 1). Wemyss, Trefechan, Avery-street: with Mr Frank 11. Wilson, 17," Water street, Liverpool? The objects of the Company are said to be to purchase, improve, and colonise land in New Zealand, and we do not doubt that thoj are accurately defined. But a good many other companies have, on various occasions, appealed to investors to find capital for a similar purpose. What is their experience V Can they testify that New Zealand is a blessed word to them, or one they were inclined to anathemiro the day they ever heard it? It is possible that the (iO,OOO shares offered by the Company may be applied for; but those who have no knowledge of New Zealand will do well to make enquiries before they part with their coin. The Clansman for Now Zealand. The " Glasgow Herald !' gives a glowing account of the tiial trip of tlio Clansman, a new steamer, built by Blackwood & Gordon for the Northern Steamship Company of Auckland. Her dimensions are : Length, 192 feet ; breadth of beam, 20 feet; depth of hold, II feet; gross tonnage, (JSO tons. She is fitted with topgallant forecastle and a long poop. Accommodation for cllicers is provided on the after part of the poop, a'so for twenty second-class passengers, and amidships accommodation for sixty first-class passengers is provided in a hand somely furnished saloon. In fitting up the cabins every attention has been paid to the comfort of passengers in a hot climate, all the new improvements in the way of venti lation being attended to. The vessel is propelled by a pair of compound high and low pressure engines of 100 horse power ; diameter of cylinders, 2fiin. and4Sin., with Sfiin. length of stroke ; and is supplied with steam from large boilers having extra heat ing surface to suit New Zealadd trade. On a trial run of the measured mile the steamer attained a speed of twelve and a-half knots per hour, which is considered highly satisfactory. The steamer was built under the superintendence of Captain Mc- Gregor. On July 15th, the steamer will leave Glasgow for Auckland, under the command of Captain liraddick. She will take a full complement of passengers.

THE MAORIS IN LONDON.

Their Memorial to Lord Dorby.

London", July 4. Tin-: Maori King and his suite liave not been out much in public this week. Now that tho Queen has returned to Windsor, King Tawhiao is expecting to have an in terview with Her Majesty shortly. The Now Zealanders hope in the course of a week or ten days to lay their ease before Lord Derby at the Colonial Office. Upon that occasion they will probably be intro duced by Mr Gorst, M.P. The Maori King and chiefs have now completed the preparation of their memorial to Lord Derby, and it is being translated by tho Rev. F. IT. Spencer, of New Zea land.

Tawhiao at the British Museum.-

Frightened t>y Egyptian Mummies.

On June 30 tho King paid a visit to the British Museum, accompanied by one of his suite. His Majesty did the whole of the museum in loss than a quarter of an hour. As soon as he entered the establishment an attendant was told off to show him over the rooms. His Majesty entered the reading room, glanced round at the rows of books and at the lofty dome, and went out again as fast as he was able. Ho thon hurried up tho grand staircase, took a look at a few ! casts of Roman and Assyrian antiquities, I and asked to sco tho Egyptian rooms. Strangely enough, although he himself had I expressed a wish to visit the department, the | sight of it appeared to frighten him. Tho ! antiquity of the mummies was something beyond his comprehension, and seemed to appal him. He clung to the arm of his at tendant.and utteringan exclamation,shrunk from the figures as if they had been ap paritions. He then passed quickly through the sculpture collection, hardly stopping to look at anything, and hastily loft the establishment. The object of his visit had I apparently been to see the mummies. Next j day the King and suite were driven on the ; four in-hand coach of the Grenadier Guards through Hydo Park, Knightsbridge. Picca dilly, and Oxford-street, and on tho follow ing evening the whole party wore received by tho President and Fellows of the Royal Botanical Socioty at tho Annual Fete at the Gardens. Colonial Government Stocks. A very important question was put by Sir W. Mac Arthur to tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer the other evening. It was t0,.. | the following effect:—Whether, consider | ing tho security now offered, and tho posi j tion held in tho money inarkot by Colonial ■ Government stocks, opportunity would be afforded to trustees by means of such legis lative enactments, and under such restric tions as might bo necessary to make invest ment therein. The time has undoubtedly j arrived when an alteration in tho law in ! this raspect might with advantage be made. Mr Childers, himself an old Vietorion, must admit this, and although ho could give Sir W. Mac Arthur no definite answer, it is satisfactory to hear that he will consult the Lord Chancellor on tho subject. Colonists at the Cobden Club.

There was thi3 year a larger attendance of (■■.•jonists than usual at the Cobclen Club

dinner. Sir Henry Parkes was present, and responded to iho toar.t of "Our ("olnnios," and in close proximity to him was another late colonial Premier—the Hon. John Douglas, of Queensland. Amongst the com pany wore also tho following : —Mr W. Chapman and SlrK. K. Thomas, of South Australia ; Mr E. Jf. Wittenom, of Western Australia; Sir Robert Torrens, who lias never ceased to take an interest jn the colonies; and Mr A. MeArthuv, M.l\, v. ho was congratulated on f lie clearness of his statement to the Mouae of Com mons on Juno 2(ith in reply to the cluu'tres brought against hi,-; linn by Mr .1. Kedmond. Sir Henry I'arkes, as usual, extolled tho colony of New South VV ales, to which lie is on the point of once more returning. He told Lord Carlingford and the Free Traders that ho came from a part of the world where Englishmen were per forming great things. There was an im pression, he said, widely spread that the people of tho colonies often indulged feel ings antagonistic to English interests. So far as he could give an opinion, he did not think that there was any feeling of opposi tion to the mother country pervading the commercial legislation of the Australian colonies, and with regard to the colony from which he came, it was as much a fro.? trade enuntrv as England herself.

Heartless Evictions in Ireland. The Dublin correspondent of " St. James's Gazctto " telegraphs on July 2: — " More evictions woroeil'ectcd <it Sweedore, in county Donegal, yesterday, in the presence of a hundred policemen. The inhabitants; of the district nre in absolute poverty, and cnnriot speak English, 'J'lie first person evicted was an old man on the brink of the grave ; and while his bits of furniture were removed, the agent, who in a magistrate, took his seat on a large stone close to the docntay, with a rille between his Uuees. The parish priest objected to the agent carrying a gun. Seven other evictions were next effected, and the party then came to n houso occupied by three families. A woman 80 years old was carried out, the agent re fusing to let her remain unless ono of two years' rent due was paid, this only amount ing to £1 V 2*. Fourteen families in all were left on the roadside, and more evictions will take place to-dny. The tenants say that (hey are rack-rented, and their caso is down for hearing before the Land Sub-Commis sioners. Visit to tiio Tichborae Claimant. Mr S. S. I'earce, formerly Sheriff of Southampton, accompanied by a friend, visited tlio Claimant at the I'ortsca Convict Prison on Juno'2S. Extracts were read to him from the Australian newspapers with reference to tho identification of the lunatic Cresswell, now confined in tho Parramatta Lunatic Asylum, Now South Wales, as Arthur Oiton, and the application by his brothers Edward and Charles to have him handed over into their care, on the under standing that they would give him proper treatment so long as ho remained insane. The Claimant anxiously inquired how his children were getting on. Iff was informed that his eldest, Roger, was still employed in ono of the large Manchester houses of business, his youngest son, .James, was at Cherville College, Komsey, and his two daughters, Ifetlio and Agnos, wero at school at Guildford, He specially referred to tho kind treatment which he had received from the ctlieials of the prison. Ho staled that ho did not believe that ho should be released until November 15th, and he thought that tho Homo Secretary must have made a mistake in fixing the date for October 21st. Tho claimant added that his health continued to bo good. Asked by what means he intended to sup port himself when released from prison, the prisoner emphatically said that lie did not intend to be made a public show of, but the iiiblic mind for .so many years, although i'-iSn.OOO of tho public money was spout to prosecute him, mado him fool that public sympathy would still continue in Ins favour, and he should have no difliculty in satisfy ing his wants. Terrible Crime in Franoc. A young man named Bertheaud, of good family, has been convicted at Montbrison of murdering his grandfather with extra ordinary premeditation. After having wasted a fortune which he had inherited from his mother, lie concealed himself for several days in his grandfather's house, watching his opportunity, and was almost starved," though ho stole a little food from tlio kitchen. He ultimately knocked on tho head his grandfather's housekeeper, an old woman, and killed his grandfather after wards, taking away tho money ho found in tho drawers.

THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

(l)V TRLIMiUAI'ir

— I'KUSS ASSOCIATION),

Wkh.inoton, this day

Tun lirttl session of the ninth Parliament of New Zealand was this day opened by the Governor. His Excellency delivered the following speech : — JToNoiTiwrxß (Ikntt.kmkn' of Tin-. Lkcisla tivk Council ami (li'.ntlk.mex of tiik lloosk ok Hepukskntativks. It all'onls me much pleasure to meet you again in Parliament assembled. I liavo re course to your assistance as early as tho arrangement consequent on tho retirement of the late administration have pormitte I. My advisers nro of opinion (hat it is un desirable that questions of abstract policy should at present bo dealt with further than circumstances render imperatively necessary, and that concentrated attention should be given to any urgent matters re lating to tho material. economic, and industrial interests of tho col ony. As far as time will albw, it is proposed to deal with such matters during this session. Great importance is to be attached to improving the industrial ro-

sources of the colony, prominent amongst which may bo mentioned, tho mining interest, the promotion of settlement, and tho advancement of local production and manufacture.'-. It is of the first consequenco that tho country should possess satisfactory and sutlieient industries. Tho subject re quires very direful and comprehensive treatment, and little in such a direction can

ho ellected through tho custpni's. tariff, which is already very high. Tho progress of public works also demand resolute attention. It will bo necessary to consider carefully the position of those now

in progress, with a view to determining how they shall bo proceeded with. It cannot prove economical to construct works in a

manner so slow and fragmentary as to po^t pono indefinitely any return from the money expended. On the other hand, tho colony ought to bo careful to restrain tho exercise of its borrowing powors within reasonable limits. My Ministers consider (hat a great deal of tho pressure which is brought to bear on a Government to construct, works in un profitable fragments arise through fear that works aro delayed Parliamentary authority lor them may be withdrawn, and arc there fore of opinion that, it would bo expedient to determine that tho public faith is pledged, unless under very exceptional circumstances, to the works which Parliament once sanc tions. If this assurance be well understood

ho various districts concerned will bo con

tent to sco works carried on in a manner compatible with early returns from the ex penditure. * My Ministers consider that groat caro

should bo exercised with regard to extend ing existing engagements. Somo works already commenced require to bo carried on vigorously—such, for example, as the Otago Central Railway. Tho small length of line required to connect Napier with I'almerston North should also recoivo early attention. Tho authority to continuo tho Nelson lino to Roundell should be extended, to connect Nolson with tho lino botweon tho East and West Coasts of tho Middle Island. Tho trunk system of that island would thon bo

nearly completed. Tho lino to connect, the Kast and West Coasts of the Middle Island to which I have

just referred is of great importance. My advisers will proposo to you to endeavour in the first instance to procure its construe-

tion by aiding private enterprise. There is every reason for believing that the West Coast of tho Middle Island possesses mineral rosourses of enormous value, indeed, as regard coal and gold the existence of such resources under highly remunerative conditions has been p:wed. The proposed railway will greatly benefit the district, but for tho proper development of the capabality of the West Coast, other measures will bo required whilst the railway works aro in progress. I commend tho whole subject to your tamest consideration.

Tho completion of through railway com munication between Auckland and Welling ton is a colonial work of vast: importance, which must be hastened to a conclusion

with tho utmost possible expedition. It will bo proposed to you to appoint a Select committee to report which route it would bo most expedient to adopt. Authority will be asked to enable the State to acquire extonsivo blocks of land along the line of this railway. My adviser? aro of opinion that tho lands

adjacent to this and other railways shold bo sot apart for tho settlement of a large number of families upon conditions cal culated to ensure their prosperity, tho area for each family being limited. You will recognise that it is of great moment the lands in the North Island that

ace nou' held by natives should be put to productive uses as rapidly as possible, cither by thojnatives themselves or by Euro peans. It is therefore very desirable that tlio best means of enabling tho natives to

dispose of their lands, when they desire to do so, should bu adopted. But it will bo useless to provtdo machinery for tho sale or leasing of native lands, unless tho natives themselves are -favourably inclined to make use of it. My Ministers therefore, whilst considering thai the pro-

sent system has mostobjoctionnblefeatures, propose to postpone final legislation on the

subject until next, session . A temporary Act may possibly bo necessary, but the ob ject to be kept in view is to come to an un derstanding with tho natives during the recess as to the plad which, while not i» consistent with the interest of the colony, will be most likely to lead to results satis factory to the .Maori race.

Plans will bo submitted to you this ses sion, if possible, for strengthening and improving the system of Local Government by giving to local bodies large duties and an assured income.

Gentlemen- of the House ok REPRESEN TATIVES, — Estimates of rovonuc and expenditure will be laid before you with the least pos siblo delay. My advisers are of opinion that the present expenditure for depart mental and other purposes may be consider ably contracted. They consider it, necessary to establish an equilibrium between expen diture and recoipts. They greatly oject to the present pro perty tax, and will propose its repeal at the earliest moment practicable. They are favourable to an equal and moderate land tax deducting from the value of the land improvements and a reasonable amount of exemption. The results of such a tax should as far as possible be localised in ac cordance with the proposal to strengthen local government. Honourable Gentlemen oe the Legisla ture Council and Gentlemen of the House op Representatives,— My Ministers consider that tho present management of the colonial railways is open to much amendment. A measure will be submitted to you to provide for boards of management in the Middle Island and in Auckland subject to Parliament retaining the control over the tariff ol charges. Your attention will bo called to the ex pediency of promoting trade and Consular relations with the South Sea Islands.^ Amongst the measures to bo brought before you will bo bills to improve the con dition under which married women may hold property, and to incorporate and place under adequate management the Lifo Insuranco Department with provisions for establishing local boards elected by the policy holders. I commend to your most earnest atten tion the largo interest confided to you, and I earnestly hope that with the blessing of God great advantages to the colony may result from tho discharge of your arduous duties.

After a short statement by Sir Julius Vogol as to his not taking the Premiership, the adjournment of the House was moved by the Premier until 2.30 to-morro«', and agreed to. A number of petitions were presented.

Sir Goo. Grey gave notice to introduce a bill to abolish plurality of votingat elections.
