AN INTERESTING COAL TEST.

An interesting statement was submitted to tho Harbour Board at its meeting yostorday afternoon, givingthe relative value of several samples of coal tested at the Auckland Graving Dock. Accompanying it was tho information that the engine-driver in charge of the No. 2 Priestman had had over seven years' exoerienco in using coal for steam purposes,' and ho informed him that he could obtain the best results by using Bay of Islands coal. The test, which was made byMr ThotnasStephenson, wasas follows:— Wiiau Wiuu Coal.—4 tons lewt. 2qrs. maintained two pumps 7 hours and tho drain pump 13 hours and 15 minutes, and kept up the lires in one boiler 7 days ; 14cwt. maintained 30 horse power 2 hours, 25 minutes, i.e., pumped out the Dock. Tawibi Coal.—4 tons maintained 2 main pumps 4 hours 30 minutes, and the drain pump, 28 hours 10 minutes, and kept up fires in one boiler 12 days. No test in pumping out Dock right on. Kamo Coal.—6 tons 7cwt, lqr. main tained two main pumps 18 hours, and the drain pumps 17 hours, and kept up the firos in one boiler 8 days. 13Jcwt. main tained 30 horse-power 2 hours 20 minutes ; that is, pumped, out the Dock. Bay of Islands Coal.—l2J cwt. main tained 30 horse-power 2 hours 35 mmutes ; that is, pumped out the dock with a vessel of 75 tons register. The Bay of Islands coal is the best for our use, as the fires hang on so long. They are half-banked up all the time a vessel is in alter the dock is pumped out.—Thos. Stephenson.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Judicial Courtesies,

(To the Editor),

Sir.,—Tho following obiter dicta aro said to havo been delivered by Mr Justice Gillies in tho Supremo Court on Wednesday last, whon pronouncing judgment in the case of Humphreys v. Roberts, viz., that

1. It would be more slanderous to say of a minister of religion that ho is " only fit to be a minister " than to say that he is "not fit to be a minister!;" 2. Ministers of religion are accustomed to deal out damnation all round ; and

3. A man is to bo thought more highly of for knocking down a man who calls him a liar.

I beg respectfully to ask the Judge, through you, whether on calm reflection he considers that the lirst of these sayings is true. It implies that to be a minister of religion vory little, if any, moral qualifica tion is necessary. It would be a mere quibble to say that the Judge referred only to the mental or social qualities required in a minister of religion, as it was not in respect to such fitness for his otEce that the plaintiff in this caso charged tho de fendant with slander, but only in respect to his moral character. I would ask the Judge whether it is only of some particular religious body—tho one, for instance, in which ho was brought up—that he de livered tho first of these dicta; or whether it is of all religious bodies alike. If the former is the correct surmise, ho can bo left to tho bettor teackingof his own sect; butif tho latter alternative is the Judge's meaning, I may inform him that his opinion on the necessary moral qualifications of a minister of religion is not that held by the members of any religious body in tho colony of Now Zealand. Of the second of the Judge's dicta I may say, without fear of contradiction by thoso who are regular attendants at Auck land places of worship, that it is a mis representation, to put it vory mildly, of. tho teaching that is given in tho churches of this city. With respect to tho third of tho Judge's dicta, it will be enough, I presume, to point out tho mischiovous nature of such a statement. It is ono of the duties of a judgo to cheek tho common tendency that men feel, at times of irritation, to take tho law into their own hands; and it is, plainly, oncourngiug such methods—tho preferring of lynch law to tho legal pro cedures of civilisation —to commond personal violence on tho part of thoso who aro aggrieved. Our judges, liko othor paid officers of the Stato, aro tho servants of the public, nnd tho community expects that thoy will bear thcmsolvcs becomingly in tho discharge of thoir responsible and honourable duties. It is tho part of a judge not only to punish thoso who offend against tho laws of tho colony, but to encourago men to obey thorn. When a judgo, sitting on tho bench, in effect advises men to Knock ono anothor down, ho may receive tho applause of the unthinking section of his hearers, but those who look boyond the present moment will hoar of such official teaching with dismay. Englishmen are accustomed not only to expect froai their judges the impartial ad ministration of the law, but to see them discharge that duty with dignity and courtesy. I would respectfully ask Mr Gillies whether ho considers it to be in keoping with tho dignity of a judgo of the Supreme Court to mako assertions respecting 6ome of his fellow-citizens which tiie vast majority of the community will consider untrtto ; and whether it is consistont with his notions of courtesy to go out of his way to wound the feelings of a class of men of whom his knowledge is necessarily limited, and who aro held in esteem by those who know tbem best.

Whilst the Auckland ministers of religion may acknowledge themselves to be in ferior to the Judge in legal learning, many of them are entitled to consider themselves quite his equals in mental culture and moral purpose.—l am, &c, Civis.

January 19th

The Germans as Colonists.

(To the Editor),

Sir,—l notico in your issue of the 19th instant a letter referring to the remarks made by Professor O. E. Hugo. Tho writer, aftor setting forth tho manifold virtues of his countrymen, finally concludes with the remark, "It is a dirty bird that defiles its own nest." For my part I consider that the German Consul only does his duty in defending the character of his fellow subjects, but whether his sincerity is oqualled by his diplomatic sagacity is another question. Tbo enumeration of the various theatres in which the German colonist has proved his Stirling qualities— South Australia and Queensland, for in stance—is a decided hit. But might he not have placed Alsace, Lorraine,Schleswig,and Holstein within the list of provinces in which the Teutonic race has lately settled ? The fact is that Germany started her colonisation with the Danish war of ISG4, continued it after the fall of the Napoleonic dynasty in 1870; and in the New Guinea annexation proves that she is still upon tho alert. To the list of eminent persons enumerated in your correspondent's letter, 1 doiiro to add that of the illustrious Vogel, and in explanation of the unpatriotic conduct of the much-abused and learned Professor, I desire to state, that (1) he is not German, but Danish, and (2) that thero is "something rotten in the State ot Denmark,"—lam, &c, Bismarck.

The Germans at Home.

If the Fatherland was ten tiaP big as it is, and ten times as rfSl sivo, their despotic, not to^_£ idiotic, rule in their eonqnotfaft vinces is enough to make G B JP a mark for ridicule, if not hate. _W three months ago the "Tlnug^B "Daily Telegraph" had a .bleadea'igl German rule in Xorth Schleswig, $M latest bit of German despotic Wm North Schleswig was that the attH tics actually imprisoned some 53 ladies who had committed the £v crime of singing a Danish j_i& song in their parents' private jffgH When, in ISO 4, two of the greatestaS nations, Prussia and Austria, coatjSl managed to subdue little DenS who for eighteen weeks fought'^l lions for homo and liberty,. }(S Schleswig was converted into rjs« Siberia. Subsequently, in 1866, aftS German-Austria war, a clause (paragranfi! was inserted in the treaty of Prague, sayjj " It.
