HOSPITALS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

Important Legal Opinion,

Messks Heskeih and Richmond having had a case stated for their opinion as to tho power of the new Charitable Boards, have submitted a full and ex haustive statement of their view of the law, which has been forwarded to tho Attorney- General, As the points raised are of great importance, wo give tho opinion in full : — " To Messrs Hesketh and Richmond : By a circular letter from tho Premier's offico, addressed to tho several District Boards, passed under tho above montioned Act, it is intimated that there are three, classes of Dis trict Boards constituted by the Act, and these you will find enumerated in tho circular lot ter which is annexed hereto for your infor mation, Tho construction put upon tho Act by the Government may bo in accordance with tho intention of the Legislature, but you aro requested to consider and advise whothor tho towns of the Act are sufficient to uphold such a construction. It appears a highly inconvenient one. But assuming for tho moment the construction of the Promier to bo correct—and whether so or not—tho Auckland District Board ask you to adviso fully on the provisions of the Act, more particularly with regard to the powers and proceedings of united Boards and soparato Boards, and on tho following quostions :— 1. The North of Auckland district is united with the Auckland district (section 34); and this beintr so, is the fund under section 14 to be raised wholly by the united Board, or pnrtly by separate Board for hospital and partly by unitod Board for charitable aid purposes ? 2. Is tho united Hoard or the separate Board, or partly one and partly tho other, to fix the amount of grants from con tributing local authorities? (See sections 24, •25, 20, 28, 34, and 35.) And how la it to bo mado compulsory on local authorities to raise and pay same? (Refer to section IS.) :(. If the amount is considered a debt duo by tho local authorities, under section 28, is tho united or soparato Board to sue for it; and what would bo necessary to prove in Court, if caso cos intended, in order to recover tho amount? 4. Section 20 seems to provide for only oiefund, unloss "or" is road for "and," a canstructionsomotimoamadoby tho Courts. Your opinion on tho section Is requested. 5. Does section 22 refer to unitod or separato Boards, and can the Board having tho power aubdivido into counties and boroughs, and authorise the Councils of each to dietributo charitable aid ? And how is all thia to bo effected ? 6. Can the Board, having exclu sive suporintendonca and control of institu tions (soction 12) dolegato authority to others? For instance, can Auckland District Board delogato authority to manage Hospital to present Hospital Committee, or does soction 12 moan a spocial superintondenco and control by the Board itself ? 7. To advißO the Auckland Board as to tho procoodings necessary to bo taken as a soparato Board, and as limited with tho North of Auckland District to carry out provisions of tho Act, step by step, and on all such other points oa may appear to you necessary to givo fullest information to the Auckland District Board in carrying out the duties imposed upon the Board by tho Act." " Auckland, November 20,1885.— E. A. Mackechnio, Ksq., Solicitor, ie, Auckland. Dear Sir, —Re Hospital and Charitablo Insti tutions Act, 1885. 1, We havo at your roquest considered this Act in connection with tho points submitted by you, and we maystato that wo havo found groat difficulty in construing tho Act as a whole, and wo express tho views following with some diffidence. 2. Tho Act apparently con templates and provides Tor two Boards, viz:— 1. District Boards for each Hospital district. 2. Unitod Boards for certain specified dis tricts. Theso two Boards may coexist in any district, and tho United Boards do not extinguish the District Boards, although the members of the District Boards are, as such, mombors of tho United Boards. 3. \Vhon a District Board is not united, it ha?. ?010 control ovor both hospital and charit able aid. If a District Board is united, tho ipparont intention of tho Legislature was chat tho united Board should tako tho bur lon of charitablo aid and loavotho Hospital

.nd other institutions under tho District .ioard. In this way it may bo rea lily seen that thcro is some justification for tho I'remior in his circular stilting that thcro no three classes of boards. In strictness (hero aro only two classes of Boards, but r.lioir functions may havo a threefold as pect, viz : —1. District Boards may havo solo control over hospitals and chnr itablo aid. 'J. Or, united, they may only havo control ovor hospitals and other institutions. 3. A united Board can only net with regard to charitablo aid. 4. On referring to tho Act thero doos not seom to bo any serious difficulty in the way of work ing tho Districts Boards established under it, until one comes to tho provisions relat ing to united Boards mado by sections 34 und 35, tho Act seems to bo fairly intelli gible and workable, but when one eomos to consider the sphoro and powers of United Boards, great difficulty arises. In con-

»t ruing tho Act, it must bo borno in mind that tho terms 'District Board' and ' Board' havo tho same meaning, uid according to tho interpretation cluueo, these terms moan tho Hospital and I'tiaritablo Aid Board (eco soction I). It must also bo born, in mind that tho institu tions assigned to the caro of the Boards included Hospitals and Charitablo Institu tions. After establishing Districts and Boards, tho Act proceeds to provido a fund to meet its requirements! Tho separato districts aro incorporated under tho name " Hospitals and Charitablo Aid Board " (see section 11), and by section 12, tho super intendence and control of every institution in the district is vestod in tho Board. By section 13, tho control of tho distribution of charitablo aid is loft under the direction of tho Board, and tho Board may apply, out of tho Hospital and Charitablo Aid .Fund, Buch moneys as they from timo to timo think required for the purpose. From tho bogin ning of tho Act up to section 34, thoro is no indication uf divided authority, aa to the collection of tbia Hospital and Chari tablo Aid Fund, and ovon where united Boards are brought into oxistanco, tho separate Boards will still retain their corporato name of Hospital and Cbarit ablo Aid Boards Wo havo carefully con sidered sections 14 to 33, and wo think we aro safe in saying that these sections con template one common fund for Hospital and Charitable Aid purposes—ono bonking account, to be called tho Hospital and Charitable Aid Fund Account (see soction 20), and a power to call upon tho local authorities for contribution to thia fund. We do not think a District!; Board would bo justified in making two calls upon tho local authorities—one for hospital purpose?, and another for charitable aid—and it soems to us that local authorities might oit'octuully resist any calls made upon them by a District Board, which did not purport to be made for tho Hospital and Charitaoio Fund Account. Wo can readily conceive that there aro districts in which there aro no hospitals or othor institution!?, and whoro tho fundß, how evor contributed, would bo solely applied in charitablo aid ;" but still, a stranger in dealing with this Act must construe it according to its language, and wo aro con strained to think [that, whatever may be tho destination of the fund, that all con tributions must bo called for in aid of the Hospital and Charitablo Aid Fund. There aro many othor oxpreesionß throughout thoso clausos which might be cited to show that only one fund was intended; and that tho District Board should only have power to call for the levying of ono rate. 5. When wo cocao to sootions 34 and 35 a now Board is brought under notice. Certain District Boards aro united, and aro declared to be incorporated for certain limited pur popes, thus leaving the District Boards with such powers as are not takon away by tho •United Board, Tho limited purposes bo declared aro " tho contribution for and dis tribution of charitable aid." Section 35 thon proceeds to say that for those purposes tho United Boaids shall havo tho same po-,vors as District Boards. Now, if we aro right in our contention that there is only one fund, viz., the Hospital and Charitablo Aid Fund, and that the District Board cannot call on local authorities for two separate contributions, thon it follows thattheUnited Board has no power to call on the local auttprities for a contribution for charitable aid, inasmuch as the District Board itself couldnotmakoaseparatecallfoithatpurpose. It is true that under "sections 34 and 35 it is stated that the United Boards are formed for the purpose of contribution as well as distribution, and that for this purpose they are to supersede the District Boards ; but as these Unitod Boards are only clothed with the same powers as to contribution as are held by the District Boards, and as the District Boards have no power to mako two distinct levies, it seems clear that the United Boards have no power to call upon the local authorities for a contribution solely for charitable aid. The word " contribution " in section 34 is suggestive of difficulty in accepting this view, but whatever the inten tion may have been, it appears to us that the view we havo advanced is the view to which our minds most strongly incline. It may be iv the view wo have tiken the word " contribution " is not completely ignored, for there may be voluntary contributions as mentioned in section 14, and theso moneys, together with such other moneys &a may be seb aeicte by the District Board'

under section 13 for charitable aid, will form a fund for distribution by the United Boards. 6. Sub-section 2 of section 35 doclares that United Boarda shall be deemed to be incorporated, but no name is given to such corporation. We conceive that it is essential to a corporation that it should have a corporate name, and without it its existence r.s a _ corpora tion cannot be recognised. 7. With refer once to the question put by you as to whether the District Board Would have power to delegate authority to the Hospital Committee, we think the Board may en trust tho management of the Hospital to one or more persons that it may select, so long as tho Board keeps the control. From the necessity of the case it could not be expected that tho Board should give direct personal attention to tho management of the several institutions that may bo under its control, and we see no reason to question the power of the Board to entrust the committee with tho management, Thono so entrusted would represent the Board, but still would bo meroly servants or agents of the Board, and bound to obey tho Board'e directions, and subject to tho correction and supervision of the Board. 8. From what wo have stated it is scarcely necessary for us to say that we cannot see any useful purpose that United Boards can servo. They have been scattered throughout the colony without corporate name, with feoblo powers, and without means to bottor themselves. —Yours faithfully, Hesketh and Rioii- WON'D."

OUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

Lovers of light and wholesome beverages of a non-intoxicating character will be glad to learn that a fresh local competitor for their patronage has enterod the field. The Star Bevorago Co. has just boon formed to undcrtako tho systematic manufacture and to pußh the sale of a liquor known as "the Star Tonic." It is an effervoscent drink, looks like hop beer, and has a taste resembling it also. It is pleasant to tho palate, and Mr D. R. Shirreff Galbraith, analytical and consulting chemist, certifies aftor examination that "it will bo found to be very well adapted to fulfil the purposes for which it is intended." He says, further, that "allthe principles present aro widoly rocognised as valuable therapeutic agents," and that " the amount of chlorides present is small—a thing which cannot bo said of many colonial boors." The selling price is 2e6d per dozen ; or, upon return of the bottles, 2s per dozen. A cheaper variety—more diluted and sweeter—will bo sold at Is 6d per dozen.

"THE ESCAPED NUN" AT PONSONBY.

Last evening Madame Auffray, "The Escapod Nun," delivered an evangelistic address in the Ponsonby Hall in connec tion with the Ponsonby Baptist Church. The hall, including the platform and gal lary, was crowded to excess. The pastor, Rev. J. H. Jones, conducted tho pre liminary part of tho service, and appro priately introduced Madame Auffray, who, after briefly narrating the circum stances attending her escapo from tho Convent, and the severe persecutions to which eho was subjected by tho Church of Koine, told the story of her conversion, which took place in tho city of Boston, Mas* sachusetts, sit midnight) and which she re garded bb analagoufi to the conversion of tho Jipoatle Paul. Prior to this great chango in her spiritual life, her soul for a considerable time was overwhelmed with desolation and horror, which almost drove her to despair. Taught aa Bhe was in the theolcgy of Rome, sho bolievod that her salvation depended upon her own works; but, when the grace of God emaicipated her from tho darkness and thraldom in which sho was so long hold, her mind was at once so enlightened as to boliove savingly on the Lord Jesua Christ, and to accept Him as her only Saviour-her all in all. Peace, joy, and happiness immediately followed, and she felt as if altogether in an other world; the old had passed away and everything became delightfully new to her. Her faco, the morning after her conversion, looked so radiant that the lady in whoso house she was staying for the time asked her what had happened to her. From that moment she resolved to devote tho romaindor of her dajjs to the service of tho greater Master, and by God's help she had boon hitherto enabled to do co. When the regenerating influence of tho Spirit touched her heart, a etill Email voice whispered to her soul to teach tho world the lesson which sho had been taught in hor convent life, and acting upon this sweet injunction she commenced lecturing in the United States with suc cess. Sho was baptised by a Baptist minister, as she believed that it was incum bent upon her to undergo that rite after experiencing what God had done for her houl. Tho delusions and fallacies of tho Romish Church won Id never be blessed to the salvation of sinnors. Faith in Christ Jesus and implicit trust in His merits and media tion could alone iusuro otcrnal life. She counsollod all to adhoro unwaveringly to the Holy Scriptures, and rest solely on Christ aB the oniy name given under heaven whereby men could be saved. She intended to lecture in all the large towns in New Zealand and Australia, and begged Christians to pray for hor that sho might be uphold in the work. A collection in aid of the .building fund of the Ponsonby Baptist Church waa made at tho cloho of tho address.

EXTRAORDINARY ADVEN TURE.

A Vessel Sunk by a Whalo,

By the steamship Hampshire, which haß arrived at Sydney from Hongkong,news was received that a Malay proa wbb capsized and aunk by a whale in the Flores Sea, and that the crow of 10 men wero picked up by the Hampshire after beingaboutfourhours float ing on a raft.balf in and half out of the water. From tho details of the affair, supplied by one of the passengers of the Hampshiro, it appears that at noon on October 24, when about ten miles from Sangeang Island, Captain Child sighted a whale, aud shortly aftorward a number of men wero observed absut four milea off, (loating on what appeared to bo a raft. The Hampshire at oncie bore down on tho men, ton in num ber, who wero found clinging to part of the spi'.rs of a vessel. A boat was lowered, and the men who wore in a very exhausted con dition, wore taken on board the Btoamer, whore thoy woro treated with every kind ness. Tbe wrecked mon said that their vessel had left Labor Hadji, Atlas Straits, three days previously for Macassar, with a cargo of between 300 and 400 bags of rice and other goods, and that the voyage waR uneventful until about 8 o'cUck that morning, when, without tho slightest warning, they wore thrown into the water, in consequence of a whale having struck their vossel (which was under full sail at _ tho time), and smashed it into splinters. The men succeeded in reach ing tho spars which were floating about, an<? clung tn them for about four hours, until they were rescued by the boat from tho Hampshire. Somo 50 minutes afterwards a vessel was seen ahead, which proved to be a native craft, and singular to say, was commanded by a son of the master of tho vessel which was sunk. Into this they wero transferred. Captain Child de serves great praise for the promptitude he Bhowed in the matter and his kindness to tho rescued men.
