SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S PETITION.

(UTOTLBUUABn.— OWN CORRESrONJ»BS(t )

Wellington, this day. I am fortunate in being able to give yon a summary of the evidence taken by the Public Petitions Committee on the petition of Sir Julius Vogel. The petition presented by Mr Macandrew on behalf c*' Sir Julius Vogel states that the latter was Agent- General of the oolony, and that he was director of the New Zealand Agricultural Company, a position which he was re quested to resign ; that he w«3 appointed iicent under the Inscribed Stook Act, and that he was to receive commission on tho livo million loan, and that ho was con sideiKd agent under the «ew loan ; that lie has received no commission ; that his ap pointment was cancelled, and no compensa tion was allowed him. Ale prays for relief. The report of the Committee on fchispeti tiou will be fresh in tho minds of your readers. It was to the effect that, m view at tiie iiuportar.ee of the question involved, as well us the mass of correspondence and documentary ovidonce neoe^ary to be examined and considered, it was impos sible to arrive at a definite report. During the last session tbe Committee cat only four times, ami examined the following witnesses ;—Sir Jutitxt Vogol, Sir George Grey, Si;- JS\ Whdtakor, Sir Win. Jfijwherbevfc, and Major Atkinson. At tho first meeting; Sir JuKus Vogeleaid :—"(1) The dahlia I wish to bring befora the com mittees are a claim to a commission of one eighth eu tho £5,000,000 loan, incidental to which I shall rwfor to special services. (2) A olaiin to commission on negotiations not allowed, a olaira to commission on aqnvea (■ion. (3) Clatn to eoraponsation-for being deprived of agenoy for inscribed stock soon after I became Agent-General. Major Atkinson asked me if I would in stead bo inclined to take the ortlce of afrent for inscribed stock, Major Atkin son loft otrioe, and the matter' remained in abeyance and was not renewed by Sir George Grey. Some time after Sir George ©rey came into oflioe, I became a director of tho Now Zealand Agricultural Compa»y (Limited). At least throe, and, I believe lour or five members of the Government know of this, and were faveurablo to my joining—Mr Stout, Mr Ballanco, Mr Lar nflch, and I am almost sure I had a communication from Mr Macandrow on tho subject. Mr Sheohan knew ir. I had no communication with fjjr George Grey on the subject previous to my joining, but Mr Stout stilted in tho Uou.«e a short time ago that Sir Georgo Grey knew of the Company, and had been a.'kod to join him self, and know of my being asked to join," Sir Julius Vogel then put in a heap uf cor respondence rolativo to tho lequesta of Sir Qeorgo Grey, and subsequently Sir John Hall requoating that he should retire from the position of director of tho Agricultural Company, and in whioh there does not appeur to be much that is rucw. Me Julius Yogol-also related hia view of the wholo matter at considerable length. Very briefly, the points in dispute seem to bo as nearly as possible as follows : —On tho 4th of August, 187'J, tho five million loan was assontod to. At> that time Sir Julius Yogol was Agent-General for tho oolojiy at a Bulary of £1,300 a year. Four days ((Stter wards three persons were appointed loan quq.its—>Hjiy FenrQßO Julyun, Mr Ommaaey, and Sir .I. Vogel. On the 11th Ueoembep tho Bank of England was authorised to receive tendow for.tho loan, and on the fol lowing day tho loan was raised, in tho meantime, on tho 10th Novomber, Sir Julius \ ogul roenivod a telegram which ho liyhily or wrongly trontii aa equivulont to dispensing with hid ser vices, und sinco tho reooijit of whioh ho oon- Bidors that ho was anting only for omren ience of Government. Sir Julius Vogcl concluded his evidence with tho following remarks: —"! was-given to undei'dtand, alter Sir T. V. Bell's arrival Homo, that tho powers conferred by tlioGovernor in Council under tho instrument of appointment wore too extensive, but ho conferred, them upon mv in ooipnion \sith thp'othor agents' as to the remuneration tho agontt should rceoivo under a now appointmont. On tho 17t.h .Inno, 18S1, tho appoint ment was revoked, a3 I understood, solely on tho ground that less oxtonsiro powers should bo given in future. On tho ofch November fresh appointments were made of Sir F. I). Bo 1 and Sir Penrose Julyan, with tho samo powers ns before, bivt I wus not included. I submit 1 have received a cruel wrong by this cancellation of my appointment and fuiluro to re appoint mo. Tho cancolment of my appointment and failtiro to ro-appoint mo wus a marked slur in tho oyes of overyone who knew what an important Dart J had taken in procuring the piistafjo of the Colonial Stocks 13ill, and in making the arrangement with tho Bank of England. It was an itibiilt to c^o in tho faco of tho world. Tho tense of wrong arid tho suffer ing occasioned to mo by the feeling that the colony, to serve whioh 1 had passed tho best years of my lifo, oould put; on inj such an unwonted tlight, detios description. At probably tho noirly approaching clo.?o of a life, which haa beon passed much more in oniloavoura to serve others than jn attempts to servo myaolf, I ask tho Parliamont of New Zealand to say if 1 havo deserved ihe treatment I received in my deprivation of tills office."

Sir Goorge Grey was examined at his own desire in order to state that a statement made by Sir Julius Vogol to tho offset that he boliovod the Grey Government knew tbat it was intended to plaoe him on tho direc torate if tho Agricultural Company was not truo. All that Sir Georgo Groy is able to mako out is that ho certainly knew nothing of the Agent General accepting such a position, and that as soon as he hoard of jt ho demanded th.at tho Agent- General phould do ono of two things—resign tho directorship or tho Ajfcnt-Goneraldhip. Tho funny thing abonb this is that all tho telegrams sent by Sir Georgo f»rey to Sir Julius V rogol arc alicgod to havo been with (■ho conourrcneo of tho Cabinet, all tho mem bers of which Sir Julius Vogel says know of his position in the Agricultural Company, and approved of it, Thcso morjibors wero Mema Stout, Macandrow, and Ballanco. This incident provo* how well Sir Gaorge Grey h»d his team in hand.

Major Atkinson, in his examination, says that the Hall Government held the same view as the provioue Government—that tho two porifcicmi occupied by Sir Julius- Vogel were incompatible, and that the alternative offered to Sir Juling Vogol, and aooepted by him, as agent for tho inscription of Btosk, was not meant to apply so as to include oommi«»ioil on the five million loan then being raised. Major Atkinson is very emphatis on this point. In big opision Sir Julius Vogol was Agent-General after that loan was passed, and although he hoped to float She loan, ho did bo aa Agent-General, and was not therefore entitled to extra remuneration. For the aervieea whioii Sir Julyan Penrosa and Mr Ommaney per formed with Sir Julius Vogel in connection with the floating of tho loin, each reaefced £8.350. Sir .T. Vog*»l, liko tho Htfclo pig of BUHM'y lore, "got none." Major Atkinson contends Sir J. Vogcl's position to be this:—He was one ot thros as(ont» ; two ef them eaoh received a commiseion of one eighth p;r oont ; Sir Julius Vogel reeoived nothing becnuse at that time he was Agent (icneinl for the ool ony, and was being paid a regular salary for the dieeharge of those duties, and wag nob entitled to any other remwneratiqn for extra serricea performed. Sir J. Vogel, of course, contends that ho was not Agent- General, having previously received his conge, nnd that he «aa merely acting for the convenience of the Government. Thia contention is based on the following tele grains which passed between Sir J. Vogel and Sir J, Hall ;-"VoKel, London. Wire names late Government knew asaistiag organise company, because statement re specting thia knowledge. Reasonable time be allowed you arrange retire. Present Government agree inexpedient yon remain director or engage home politics." " Hall, Premier New Zealand. Stout certainly, and beit my belief Macandrewand Ballance. Cannot name timo resign. Shareholders would think unfair entertain Buoh inten tion now. Am willing take loan agency, payment by percentage, and act Agent- General withowt salary long as suits Govern ment. Reply." Sir Frederick WMtaker takes a similar view of the matter to that stated by Major Atkinson. Sir Win. Fiteherbert h the next witnesß examined. Although having no pereonal knowledge of the eircumetan«ea of tlie case, Sir William is well acquainted with the finances of the colony, and has also had responsible work in respect to the negotia tion and conversion of loans ; hence the reason for his presence atthe proceedings of the Committee. Sir William lays stress on the fact that the claim has been kept alive by the claimant, and that the work was woll done. He holds that the just claim in untenable, inasmuoh as it is a claim in respect of negotiation, and also in respect of conversion. He, therefore, reduces the claims to two — th« commission on tho negotiation of tho five million loan and compsnsation for deprivation of office. • Sir William goes on to say • " With regard to the first, it is alleged, on the other side, that however desirous the Gnrernineni might bay« b&n to meet

£he views of Sir Julius Vogel ai to tshvei claim, they were put out of court; they never dissembled from doing 80, because of the fact that he held office as .Agent-General, and there les the point— the enne. So far as receiving a commiaaion whilst so acting as Agent- General, I think the Government wore correct in their principle, and technically, under these circumstances, they were undoubtedly right, but in spirit I hold they were entirely wrong. Theposi tton at that time was that Sir Julius Vogul had been called to account because of his having joined a certain directory thtifc was held to be incompatible with his continuing to hold tho otKce of Agent-General. In the communications that passed it came to this—that Sir Julius deelifried to give up his directory, and upon that there is a good deal of let U9 say "fencing," each holding his own opinions over a narrow ground ; but I would call attention to them in the evidense fsiven by Sir Frederick Whitaker, and it entirely csneurs with the rest of the evidence. Sir Julius Vogel saye, "To which I replied this answer, ' Cannot name time resign.'" Then the answer of Sir Frederick Whitaker ia, " i recollect that, and it was aonsidered," that is to say, it was oonsidored in (Jabinet (that is the interpretation I put on it). The expresiion " considered " ai.d " wo agree that you must resign within a reasonable timo " 5 that is to say Sir Julius Yogpj had l/jooived aa Ageut General <" notioo to quit " ; ho oould not, therefore, be regarded aa holding tho office of Agpnt- Ueutrul peMnanently, which >^as inoom pa'iblo with the reoetpt of a commission for tiio negotiation of the loan. Naturally he waa ftinttus nHtt\o ; he was no longer per manent Agent General of the colony, and might any day have been, and could uot have ooinplained it ho had been, peremptorily removed. This i« what stiiless We undw the giroumstances. But noiv comes the negotiation of the said five noilfion loan. Sir Julius Yogsl was holding offiae at that tisijO simply until his successor was ap pointed, and for the oonvenienoe of the Government. If he had then considered that there would have been any obstacle to the receiving a commission for work which he is acknowledged to have per formed ably he had only to telegraph out to say "negotiation of the loan suspended until you accept my resigna tion, which I now send to you." la it crediblo that anyono in undertaking a. duty the successful performance of which involves tho deepest interest arjd prosperity of the colony that ho represented—not a mere clerical work, but one requiring tho utmost vigilance and judgment, and tho exercise of tho highest discretion as to whether it would, be a failuro or success, and it prayed to be a 6UCC9BS —would do this ? It- waa only a'few months afterwards that ins actual with drawal from ofiioo took place, and can it be supposed that any one would have under taken a duty in connsetion with two other persons in which he performed at leasjfc eu equally important part with the o.^hs? t\YQ if he had believed he waw rjp \ io be paid, when ho oould haj? pursued this eouree, whiol} was, I have aa'd, open to him, and that be would havo preferred holding office for bis or eight months at the rate of £1,500 a year, equal to about £1,000, acd to forego that which would have been preferable, ajid, except on the technical ground %\\a\ h,e was Agent-General, he wauhj haifo been un doubtedly entitle^ t«, vis., the Bame pay men^ tig th|j othewi-Sii1 Ponrote Julyan i,nd W. Qinanuey 1 Thflt is to say that ho oould with justice to hiraeelf have foregone the pfeynaont of £6.230 thsit his coadjudtors received, and only take in, exchange £1,000 for an otiice, tb,e folding of which was only from, day to day. In respect of this tfae ctiloulation made is that Sir Julius Vogel is entitled undoubtedly to tho eamo commission w Sir Penroßo Julyan and Mr Ommanney re coived, less the amount he was paid, if any thing, botween the negotiation of tho loan, and his finally Using relieved of olliao about eight mouths afterwards. I believe ho ia absolutely ontitled to i\\a,t. So much for my opiuion on the Urat point. With regard to the claim for deprivation of offjeo, what h^s impressed mo very much, and what I think it hanga upon Is this, which ia sot forth in a private letter of Sir John Hall's, tho terms of which are sot for ward in an attractive form in the fol lowing terms : ' That there would bo in all probability a considerable income to aasi6t materially your positjqn in London, whilst leaving you free ta engage in other business,' i*nd < that this may bo taken 43 a. not unreasonable recognition of your services.' That is from the Premier of tho colony. Subsequently a bill was pvseed by which only two appointments were provided for, and they were awarded! to Sir F. Dillon Bell and Sir Ponvose Julyan. Sir J. Vngel wa.3 not appointed, and this Sir \Y. pitsherbort considers to h,Q\"O bf.cn a dear breach of faith. "The knocking on tho head of a promise by Par liament hag nothing whatever to do with a. promise of that sort made by the Premier of tho colony," says Sir William. Here ie cer tain worfc obtained, and a distinct promise from tho Premier of tho colony, and after tliuy had takon Sir Julius Vogel into con sultation as to how abatements should be made and his powers reduced, and after thuy had got all his information on.thoce points, they then go round and cay—We. wijl riot hhve vhreo agents j wo will only have two j and although Sir Julius Vogel was promised it, this oompotenco which was to be a proper recognition of his services is doniod him, and he stands, in reference to the people amongst whom he lives and whore he has to make t, fresh stare in life, with this stigma, upon him. I Kay plainly to this oommittee, as ona who may be considered to know tho bearings of these things, that if that case were brought before any twelve men I believe that a claim infinitely larger than that set forth by Sir ,Tulius Vogol would b,e sustained, j wish to, say further \n ro3poct of this claim by Sir Julius Yagel for commission on the five million loan, that if it dies now it will never die out altogether. If I am right in tho view I tnkl?, it sill bo brought up a^sin and again, if not by Sir Julius Vogel, by thoso who represent him, b.ufc will never be allowed to die until he is remunerated, and then. by a much largor Bum than he now claims. That, Mr Chairman, is the result of study of the caso. 1 nra inclined on all points ef his polioy of finaneo in quite an opposite direc tion to that of Sir J, Vo^el. 1 am bound to gay that !n justieo to tho consistency of the financial viows I hold. But this is not a question of policy but of payment for work done and services rendered. I may state this to the Committee I— l have, in my position as Speaker of the Legis lative Council, kept myself entirely aloof from matters of this sort, and the only license I allow myself is, if people come into my room and ftfk my opinion, 1 think there I may and do give my advice; hut I havo never called upon Sir Julids Vo^el, and have never seen him since his nettlrn to the colony, except oa one oeoasion i« publio, o» the Hufct raaecouree, when I thought, as President of the Club, it ■was a civility that I should go and say a word to him. That is the only occasion I have ever exchanged a word with Sir Julius Togel sinoe his coming out, and then this subject was not even alluded to. I have a high rospaot for Sir Julius Vogsl, although we differ in our rolißy of finance as widely fts any men in the ooantry. I ■vronld not Hko to tru*t mytclf to say how strongly I differ from him, and ray opinion in this ia nat the opinion of a person who admires his policy of finance. I say this - that if I do not know something about these mattorp, I ought to. Whatever ability I have had has been employed in the study of tho finance* of the colony ; I have had fifteen months' ir.torcourae ,with nil tho leading man in England conneoted with the colonies; I have had ehargo of loans and conversions and tho inscription of stock, I had many in terviews with Mr Westgarth, who was ono of thefin>t persons who brought it forward, I think Sir J. Vogel haa dona the work admirably that had to be done, and I think he is entitled to that commission upon the negotiation of the five million loan ; and as to the injury c)one him in a eommcreial point of view through the deprivation of office, I say it is greater than I aare to name

With regard to fhe Diseases of theKye, there may be considered two distinct kinds of treatment, viz., tho Medioal and tho Optical; the Medical to the Physician, the Optical to the Oculist Optician. Mntirely two-thirds of the diseases are due to optical defects. Blindness, Squint Eyes. HeadHChoa, Neuralgia of the FaceandTeraplca.lJeafnnsa,and Inflammation of the Kyes are frequently caused by opticaldefoots, and are Prevented and Cured, without opbrai'ions, by properly adaptoo Speotacles, made to eorreot the defective por tion of the eye. There are ov./ 500,000 various combinations of Spectacles required to eorrec' those defects—impossible to be kept in otock bj any Optician, even in London, therefore, must be ground exprosslf to meet each individual case. T. R.
