KojtvoLK Islasjb.- Tho President an nounced that news had been received that afternoon from Norfolk Island, arid that unfortunately one of the vicissitudes of missionary life had recently happened. Mr Kay, ono of the members of the statf, had lost both his children by diphtheria. Synod Meetings.—Mr Jl. Crispe moved,

"That with a view of better meeting tho convonienoo of country members ol this Synod, it is desirable that the daily sittings

Synod."*—Mr 8. Luke seconded the motion* «-Tho President euggontod that in foturfl the Synod should appoint ono of its mem bers to render assistance to tho reporter*, and to take steps to have these prefS reports printed in pamphlet form at the close of each Synod for circula tion amongst members. Some 500 to 600 copies cTild be struck off each year. The motion was then passed with acclamation. —The Rev. J. K. Davis moved "That the best thanks of this Synod be given to Mrs Co«ie for tho very kind manner in which she Ins entertained the members of tho Synod.1' The motion was seconded by Mr Wiight and passed with acclamation.—On tho proposition of Mr Nolan, a C'lnlinl vote of thanks was passed to the clerical and lay secretaries of the Synod.—The Pro-idont, in declining the prop i.sition curried, remarked that the minutes had never been more concisely, clearly, and correctly recorded than at this time. Diocisus Statistics. — The Church statistics from (he variuuH archdeaconries were laid nprm tl-,o tnble by Archdeacons Dudley and Willis ami by the Rev. Thos. Baker for Archdeacon G'ovctd They Hero favourably commented upon, and various suggestions were thrown out regarding them.

of Synod should take place curlier than at present." lie advocated this concession as

an act of justices to country members, who cainctotownat great personal inconvenience in order to discharge their duties as Synods uien. — Ml' Brown (TuaUau) seconded the

Confirmation or Minijtks.—lt was re solved, on tho motion of Mr A. K. Taylor, "That the President, be respectfully re quested to confirm the minutes of thoday'a proceedings, and to certify the .-Intulea and resolutions that have been amended."

motion. —Mr McMillan considered that the

country members had a real grievance on this subject, and ho felt surprised that so many of them underwent the trouble and inconvenience nsso-

ciated with attendance at tho Synod. As for the country clergy, it was a nice atid agreeable relaxation for them. He did not

suppose that the motion would be carried, but ho pointed out that the remedy lay with the country districts by sending up n greater number of representative!?, instead ot oblig ing the Bishop to nominate town gentlemen to act as representatives for them. The country members, if they attended in strength, could control the Synod.—The President pointed out that the motion, if carried, would annul a standing order, and it was too late in the session to do that now. — Mr Crispe said that he only wished to affirm the principle embodied in his resolution.— MrSnelling remarked that the entertain ment provided for country Synodemen com pensated for uny inconvenience they were put to.—Mr V. E. Rice remarked that the Synod now assembled earlier each day than was the case several years ago.—The Presi dent explained that committees had to meet and minutes be written out during the daytimo, and that consequently they could hardly well meet earlier. Besides, the confeiences between the clergy him self were rendered necessary. —Mr W. J, Speight rejoined that these conferences could very advantageously take place either before or after the Synodical session. As regarded Mr Rice's remarks, he pointed out that the Synod used to meet daily at 3 p.m. Ag it was at present, the session lasted so long that a Synedsman living at any distance from town could not attend unless ho was prepared to sacrifice all his other holidays throughout the year. He asked for a division on the subject, and so long as he had a seat in the Synod ho would bring this question forward until tho prin ciple contained in it was affirmed.—The Presidetit averted that it was impossible to have his conferences with the clergy either before or after the Synod. It was gratify ing for him to state that only in three cases this year had country districts asked him to suggest names of gentlemen w ho would act as their representative?.—Mr Ewington recom mended as a method of having time lens

prodigality of discussion.—The motion was then put, and declared to he lost on the voices. A division was then tuken, when the result was found to be :—Clergy - ayes, 7; noes, 17. -Laity: ayes—ll; noes, 21. Che motion was consequently lost.

Kkswnatiox. —Mr W. H. Kvans was appointed auditor for the Standing Com mittee's Accounts vice Mr Heather, who is now a member of that Committee. Cathedral Bell.—Mr G. P. Pierce moved, ''That the amount due to the Bishop for recasting the bell in the cathedral tower be defrayed from the balance of the ' Church Gazette' fund." Pie «tated that the expense amounted to some £8 or CIO. —The" motion was seconded and carried. St. John's Uolleok Tkust Board.— Colonel ilaultain moved, " That provided Religious Charitable and Educational IVutts Boards Incorporation Act, 1884, be passed by the General Assembly, this ■Synod, on behalf of the General Synod, authorises the St. John's College Trusts Board to take the neccsfary steps for their incorporation."—The motion was seconded and carried. Seiavyx Mkmorial Fuxd.—Mr Pierce

moved, "That the report of the Selwyn .Memorial Fund be considered." He ettid that (he report consisted of a statement of accounts which pliowed that tho receipts during tho past year had amounted to x '22 ■is by subscriptions, and about £00 by way if interest. The balance in the bank

amounted to £328 10s 6d, and thero was a

further sum of Iti 10s 8d in tho Savings Bank. It wns bearing interest at 7 p»r oent. Tho capital of the fund amounted to ibout ±"1,100. He moved the adoption of tho report.—Archdeacon Dudley, in second} ing tho motion, remarked that it was

pitiable that tho amount of tho subscrip tions should be bo small. The motion vros then passed. The Tkrm " Communicant."—The Rev. W. Tebbs withdrew his motion requesting tho General Synod to define the term " Communicant, " which was stated to be a qualification of certain officers. He said that ho intended to bring it forward again next session.

Entertainment Committee.—Mr Bice moved: 1. " That a committee be appointed to sit under the Presidency of the Bishop during the recess, and to make arrange ments for entertaining members of the Synod at next session. 2. That the Com mittee consist of the Revs. C. M. Nelson,

W. Calder, G. H. S. Walpole, Messrs Bat ger, Cochrane, A. K. Taylor, and the mover."—The motions were duly seconded and carried.

Kumeu Church Site, &c— Mr. A. K. Taylor, in the absence of Mr Walters, moved, " That the thank* of the Synod be given to Mr Thomas Weare for his gift of a church site and burial ground at tho Kumeu."—Tho motion was seoonded and carried.

Thanks to the Ladies.—Mr H. Crispe moved a vote of thanks to the ladies who

had entortained country members of the Synod. Ho said that the general opinion of country Synodsmen was that they could not have been better treated had they been Lord Mayors instead of more laymen.—The motion was seconded by Mr Watts and carried.

Insurance, etc.—Archdeacon Willis moved, (1) "That it be an instruction (so the Standing Committee to add to the articles of inquiry to be made under resolution .16, a question relative to fhc adequate insurance of tho Church, parsonage, and school buildings." (2) " That it bo a suggestion to the Standing Committee to have the statute?, resolution?, and standing orders in forco published as a supplement to tho ' Church Gazette 'as soon after each session as possible." After some discussion tho words "as sooh after tho session as possible " were expunged, and the propositions then passed. Pmntinu Committee.— The Rev. Mr Farley moved, " That a Printing Commit tee bo appointed, to consist of the Tresident, and Messrs Cochrane and Upton." The motion was seconded and carried.

Akchdeacon Dudley's Pai-ek. —In the absence of the Rev. F. G. Evans, Arch deacon Willis moved, "That the thanks of this Synod be given to Archdeacon Dudley for his admirable paper read at the church meeting, and that he be respectfully re quested to allow it to be printed." The mover obtained leave to include the names of the Kevs.| \V. M. Dv ltieu and P. S. Smalllield. — Mr Kirkbride seconded the motion, and spoke in terms of high praise of Mr Smallfield's paper, as did also Mr H. Crispe. They also suggested the publica tion of tho paper in the daily press.—Mr Pierce said that ho had no doubt that papers refused by the "Church Gazette" would le gladly published by the "Herald." —Mr Rice did not think either clerical or lay members of the Synod should receive votes of thanks for anything they did in connec tion with it. He therefore urged tho with drawal of the motion. Archdeacon Willis thereupon with the leave of the Synod with drew the motion.

Synod Vacancies. — Archdeacon Willis moved, "That it be an instruction to the clergy of the various parishes and dietiicts of the Diocese to cause notice to be given in Church, on one Sunday at least, of any elec tion to fill a vacancy or vacancies in the Diocesan Synod."—After some discustion the motion was amended by the expurgation of the words as fay as "bo given, and tho insertion in lieu thereof of the following :— "That it is desirable that one notice at least." —In this form the motion was seconded by Mr S. Luke and passed. Votes of Thakkf,— Mr H. Crispe moved, " That the best thanks of the Synod be given to the proprietors and reporters of the two daily papers for the very able reports I

Piioi'.iuiATlON.—The Doxology was then punj;. and the Bishop having pronounced tho Benediction, declared the Synod pro rogued.
