THE SHIP NORTHUMBERLAND.

Complaints of Immigrants.

Wretohcd Steerage Accommodation.

With a passage satisfactory in every other respect, it is unfortunate that serious com plaints should have arisen as to the nature of the accommodation provided for immi grants. Having learned that a formal com plaint had been lodged with Mr 0 Mays, Immigration Officer, by certain of the passengers, a Star representative boarded the vessel to - day and made around of inspection, besides personally questioning the immigrants. He found the steerage and nominated passengers to be an excellent class of immigrants, whether regard was had to the single or married people, and as is usual after a long sea voyage, a number were exceedingly communicative in regard to their experi ences. The ship was to-day, of course, in a state of "the most admired disorder," but it was not difficult amid the confusion to see the state of the fittings, and passen gers' accommodation generally. The saloon and second cabin are roomy, convenient, and comfortably fitted, so it is unnecessary to describe them at length. It was in the

Immigrants' Quarters

that we were at first struck by the miser able and totally inadequate provision made for the health and comfort of passengers, not to speak nt all of the means of main taining moral order and decency. Descend ing tho main hatchway, we were ushered into what may be described as a large hall with two rows of sleeping bunks ™d along either side. Tim is the place setg apart for married immigrants and families, and though ample in so far as cubic smce is concerned, tho arrangement of buXis sadly defective. The two rows which front the sides of the ship are not so badly off as the others, for in these the occupants could maintain a little privacy by stretching a shawl or blanket between their space and that of their neighbours ; but so far as the arrangements of the shippers were concerned there was absolutely no at tempt made to secure privacy. The berths which fronted the central spaces, thirteen in number, were all completely open to each other, except that when going to Bleep a curtain could be drawn in fron^ ot <ihe narrow bunks. The central bunks, besides, wore only separated from the side g'ows by thin boards, with crevices botween .which one might thrust his fingers. Tue bunks being low and narrow, people could not dress and undress in them, co their only resource to secure a show of decency was to stand in front and bulge out tho curtain to afford them a little covered space. To live under these condi tions, with in some cases five or six persons in one compartment, must have been very jarring to all idoaß of propriety, and de cidedly uncomfortable to the many respect able people on board. Into the sacred recesses of tho single women's quarters our reporter did not care to penetrate, but tho girls seemed all clean, comfortable, and happy. The single men, however, have deep and serious cause for complaint, and it is they, we understand who have mode a formal statement of their grievances. The single men were not ac- I Sommodated according _to class, the nominated immigrants being borthed along with tho steerago passengers. Tha com plaining lot number fourteen, and whan , tho place allotted to them for quarters i_ inspected, it is plain that they do not grumble without cause, Down the after-hatch in a dark and dingy slip of accommodation, there are 141 berths laid off in two rows, one above the other By actual measurement, as token by one of tho passengers, this place • measures 12 feet 9 inches in length, by ; a feet . inches in breadth, while it v / feet; 5 inches high. The bunks are ranged breadthwise, that is, there; __c ™ in the length of 12ft. 9in,, and from the breadth about 3ft. have to be sub tracted lor passage. This leaves only sft. ffl^g forth, bunks, and it will readily be believed that one of the passengers bad to knock the end board off «*Hj*" feet over the edge when he went to sleep. An "offiishusoffishul" at London, on being complained to regarding the limited dimensions of the blinks, said, We didn't take your measure for them! Procrustes, is It, In Grecian stojy, who kept beds of ft uniform fcmgtli, and whs» his customers complained ofVk of accommoda tion, kindly cut a foot or so off their legs to get thorn comfortably tucked to V Probably ft was his spirit which animated the con structors of those wretched bunks;; Tn™ but that modem advancement precluded the idea of making *w» suit the bede, the complete method of Pro crustes would doubtless have been came*! SS on the Northumberland. This place, when its 14 occupants were pocked into it, iTke herrings in a^barrel, must h»t* been a veritable counterpart of the BLACK BOLE OF CALCUTTA. When the door communicating with the 2teera_e quarters was closed, there was no tStion save what got through some _hink_ and thai, air would be only yitiated atmostfre from to exhalations or the eteerace passengers. There was no light _aTe Tha? tbr f gh two sem, transparent squares of thick gl*s. ftwdm „he deck, and when it rawed, or vken _£ S «- being washed, the possen ££, got soaked when lying, m bed. The carrying of passengers i» such a frightful place constitutes a crying scandal, InfforVe credit of the colony a thorough fnquiry should be made into the compUwts which have been lodged.

passengers and immigrants that they observed the proprieties of life, guarded against demoralisation, and preserved their constitutions from tho attacks of disease.

The complaints of the steerage passengers are matters which concern themselves and

the. Shipping Company alone ; but with regard to the accommodation of immigrants the public of the colony have a right to demand a full and satisfactory inquiry. It is a patent fact that the kind of accommodation which the Colonial Government requires has not been afforded ; and if we do not wish to discour age immigrants from coming to these shores, it must be plainly declared that they will have better treatment than the Nor thumberland's immigrants received.

Mr G. V. Stewart's Settlers. A family who came out under the patron age of Mr Geo. Vesey Stewart, for Tour anga, complained of being in n sense the victims of false representations. They allege that from the circulars issued by Mr Stewart to induce people to emigrate they were led to understand that the Tauranga-Rotorua railway was in course of construction, and that work would be found immediately upon arrival. On the strength of this the head of the family threw up a situation on a railway which he had held for many years, and made arrangements for emigrating. Just before starting, how ever, another circular of Mr Stewarts was placed in their hands, which stated that the railway might not just be in the forward state previously in dicated, but advising them in that case to "put their pride in their pockets, and take whatever work they could get." If these statements are even approximately true, they disclose a vicious system of raising false hopes in the minds of immigrants, | who, feeling disap pointed, will dissuade others from coming. In this particular case, Katikati will pro bably lose the " special settlers," for though they are booked through to Tauranga, these passengers will stay in Auckland if work can be got at all.

Landing the Passengers. The work of landing immigrants from the Northumberland was going on during the greater part of to-day by the ferry steamer Alexandra, under supervision of Mr Oliver Mays, Immigration Officer. Start ing shortly after 10 a.m., the steamer went out to the vessel, and brought away a load ofpassengersandtheirlugggago, These were landed at the Queen-street Wharf, in presence of _a large (assemblage friends and curious "loafers," and tho steamer returned to the vessel. TherewasWossarilyagreat deal ofdelayin getting thbluggage of passengers transhipped and landed on the wharf, but the work was got through in vigorous style, amidarunningfiroofbantoringcommentary. The Female Domestics all Engaged. We are informed that out of the 16 female domestic servants who came as free Govern ment immigrant., no fewer than 10 had been encaged by tho saloon passengers c n board. This left only 6 to bo encaged in town, and th(9i have been " besp< fc.)" over and over again, so that there is liknly to be some difficulty in satisfying the contending claims of housewives for tho much-needed "helps."

SUPREME COURT.-This Day.

In Banco.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Joiruii Edwakd Thomas v. Samuel Cohen (appeal).— Mr E. Hesketh (in structed by Mr Brnssey) appeared for the appellant, Thomas, and Mr Theo. Cooper (instructed by Mr George) for the respon dent. In this matter, which was on appeal from the R.M. Court, His Honor gave judg ment as follows:—"The question in the present case is simply this: What is the true construction of the expression, 'the time of such bankruptcy,' as used in the Chattels Securities Act, 18S0, Section 4, It was contended before me as was held by the learned Judge in the Court below, where decision is appealed from, that the word ' bankruptcy' in this Act must mean what it is declared to mean in the Debtors and Creditors Act, 1376, viz., the making of the order of adjudication. But the Debtors and Creditors Act, 1876, expressly provides that such shall be the interpreta tion only 'in this Act if not incon sistent with the context.' The interpreta tion there given is thus expressly limited to the provisions of that Act, and is not intended to apply to other acts in which the same expression is used. If, indeed, the expression 'time of bankruptcy' had no other well-known and defined meaning, it might be fairly argued that it was used in the latter Act in the sense defined by • the former. But these two Acts—the Chattels Securities Act and the Debtors and Creditors Act—are not in pari materia, though on this question they impinge on each other." After declaring that the word "bankruptcy" in our Chattels Securities Act was used in the same sense as in the similar English Act, and stating that the case of ex parte Attwater governed the present one, His Honor went on to refer to it, and also that of ex parte Blaiberg in re Tooroer. He then continued; " Had the grantee of the bill of sale in the present case taken possession within the time limited for registration, Blaiberg's case and Murpleß v. Haitley (30 L.J. _ Q.B. 92) would have been Btrong authorities in his favour. Graham v. Furber (23 L.J. C.P. 10), cited for the respondent, turns on tho construction of the protective clauses in the Bankruptcy Act, not on tho terms of the Bills of Sale Act, which, as is pointed out in the judgment in Attwater's case, is quite a different question. The appeal will therefore be allowed with coste, the judgment of the Court below Bet aside, and a new trial ordered. William Wilson v. Misistsb or Public Wop.jis. — Claim for compensation. — Mi ll. Williumsop said that the claimant was not prepared to proceed with his applica tion, and that he had thprefore cpnsonted to a wook's adjournment, Adjourned ac cordingly. Quinn v. theMerouev BayTimherCo,— Motion for an injunction,—Mr E. IJosketh for tho plaintiff, Mr I [ugh Campbell for tlie defendant.—Thp plaintiff some time ago obtained a yerdjet a _uinst the defendant compauy for flainago to his property at ii.of.cuj-y Boy through their driving of logs down a tidal crgek. He now applied tor an injunction to restrain them from any Buchsimilaraction in future. —After the learned counsel had been hoard, His llojjor dopidocl that the plaintiff was en titled to an injunction, and therefore allowed tho motion with costs, £8 fta. Re John Greenlkaf, a debtor.—Applica tion fo* discharge.—The papers were found to be irregular, there being no affidavit of notice of intention to apply for discharge, and no recommondation from the creditors.
