from him, I proceeded South, and stopped | t i,j 3 houso, seeing somo of his clergy. • Ho mentioned several posts, particularly tho charge of the church at Blenheim, which lio'tliought would suit mo well. He oli'ercd it to mo, told mo to think of it, and promised in the meantime to write to Bishop Cowie. I posted tho Bishop of Kebon's letter to myself. I offered fo icct'pt the past, after I returned to Auck land but tho Bishop wroto refusing it to •no 'and declining to give his reason. I Lw BUhop Cowio on the same subject, and v told mo that ho had written to tho Bishop of Nelson tailing him of the ' jAjers. Tho Bishop of Nelson had told me tint the stipend attached to the Blen heim Church was £250 por annum, with a free house, but that an energetic man mieht very largely increase the amount. Cross-examined by Mr llesketh: I was ordained in 1871. at St. Saviour's Church, Littlo Hampton, by Bishop bugden, 01 tho Reformed Episcopal Church. The epis eonaey has lasted about eight years, and Riihon Su"dcn had formerly been a minis- WtluTchurch of England. The body to which I belong was formed by the amal ranintion of the Free Church of England, {ho-Countess of Huntingdon s connexion, ond the Reformed Episcopal Church, and it - „off numbered 300 churches and ministers, ; led 4 bishops. 1 never bolonired to tho ! Church of England as a minister. Tho ; t 1 applied for was ministerial ; work, and I also applied for ordination,!; knowing that it would be necessary I d.d j not show Bishop Cowio my letters of orders , and license, because I knew ho would not recognise them. That was the only reason. ffipCowicdkl.notathrstgiveashis, na«oi for hesitating to. give mo employ- i < neat that ho knew nothing about mo and | hat he required to know something of my j E tcr and conduct, bat ho did .-o after | Jh! elander had been disclosed When 11 sa id I had been shunned by tec clergy, T meant ministers of the Church! L ersal The sailmaker of fhe Her- j i .' ™t UP a Bed Bibbon Army in ' J o mpp sition to my Blue Ribbon Army but I do not remember a demonstration of theirs with cans and tins. I remember lending, on a moonlight evening, a dress of my wife s in a Mr Matson for tho amusement of a few of us on the poop. It was an old black °kirt, nnd he wanted it to read a ale called .-Tho Woman in Black " To tho best of ra y recollection I did not augh at the effigy S „yself,and say to Mt Knott that it was a -L\ t_^l-fi as a skit devised by the Red tfnfe^against the Blue Bibbon Army Most unquestionably 1 was pained , Xv the affair. Tho effigy looked to havo a ' Seen. I spoke to defendant about it afterwards, either .the same day or next ~ morning. I told him th it I should inform ( hi owners, and he said I might do as liked. Prior to the arrival of the vessel £ there was a meeting of the passengers for the purpose of deciding upon a testimonial to the captain, and I objected to him re ceiyinp one solely. I favoured the presentation of one to each of the , Officers if the captain received one , On one occasion I played whist j with a passenger named Sterne, but j I never played for money, and I never saw money on the tablo. I detest cards, and it d is a trouble for me to play. I played ( merely to make up a rubber, and for an hour only. There was a card club cm board. I never got intoxicated at the j Star Hotel in Auckland, nor had T to bo carried to bed. While on j board!had on ono occasion two glasses _ of port wine, and on another two glasses c of champagne. I was glad to get them, I f because wo were half-starved. I wish I ( could have got more. 1 signed .the | c pledge to " Abstain from nil spirituous j Q liquors as a beverage," but I am not "a | . fanatic, and can sco that alcoholic liquors | j havo their uses. A bottle of beer was sent j g by my wife to the cook. Mrs Humphreys _ is not a teetotaller, and for weeks she lived | g upon biscuit and cheese and stout, because J she could not take tho food served (1 out to us. Not moro than two . _ bottles of stout per diem camo I & to our cabin. During the voyage I had j quarrels with Messrs Brown anel Lett, and ( _ a few words with tho doctor. I never jj, stood in tho forecastle door and I g challenged anyono to fight. When 11 discovered tho feet cut off my ol- j j batross I Baid, "Some scoundrel has j cut off the feet of my bird, and I'll give j Jj £1 reward for any information as to tho ; party who did it." I never boasted that I' _ was paid for fighting. I treated Mr t Brown as an overgrown schoolboy, j nnd boxed his cars for telling mo falsely | (hat I had put myself clown on the ship's list of passengers as "a farmer," • t and my daughter aa "a domestic servant." . j I did call him "a cad." Tho defendant . did say that it did not matter even if I c had put myself down as a farmer, seeing 'l that Abraliam, Isaac, and Jacob, and £ that sort of people had been farmers. Mr £ Brown had a club foot. I struck Mr Belt j with my list, but I did not call him a . d scampord scoundrel. I did not c try to throw Left overboard. Mr Sonde- t man (second officer) came and separated j us because Mrs Lelt was kicking me. I was in deacon's orders at Home. I never took priest's orders. Subsequently I spoke £ to Mr Lett about kicking my dog, but I f did not threaten to punch his head. r I told the doctor that if he insulted my wife again I would report, him _ to the captain, and I forbade him t to enter my cabin again, .saying that if ho did so he would have to take the conse- { quence. At the samo time, ho did not say to his wife that he would have to ask the £ captain to lock her up. I shou'd be sorry to leave her in his chai ge. I did not swear fl when my line broke with an albatross upon j. it. The Captain did not remonstrate with E meforßpcaking to the officers on duty, end j for not keeping to the sldo of the loop allotted tho second-class passengers. ; His Honor said that he could not see any j relevancy in this line of examination of tho ' subject matter of tho action just as ho could not ccc anything libellous or slanderous in the alleged statement of defendant that plaintiff was not fit to be a minister. It would have been much more slanderous J had he said " You're only fit to be a minis- 1 tor." t Re-examined: I knocked Mr Lett down a because I had received gross provocation c from him. He circulated a statement to the effect that one of the passengers had t used indecent language towards my j daughter. Having found out this to bo a false, I forbade him speaking to any of my j family again, and told him if he should do t so I would knock him down. Subsequently t my wifo told me that he had spoken to her i in an insulting manner. I taxed him with s it. He replied, "You're a liar, sir,'and I E at once knocked him down. c Alfred Eevins, second officer of tho j Hermione, deposed: "I remember the s voyage out in ISB3, when Mr Humphreys } was a passenger. I recollect his elligy i being carried round the deck whilo the { captain was looking on from the poop anel f laughing. It was carried round the deck f two or three times and main stay. It was on j neck about an hour and a-half before being j hungup.andthedefendanilwason deckwhea r the sailors emerged with it. I heard de- _ fendant spenk of tho plaintiff as a swearer, r a fighter, and an associate of gamblers, be- t sides saying several times that he was unfit wbe a ministe,. I heard the captain say , that plaintiff would find it difficult to [get * on in Auckland, as ho had put a spoke in ' his wheel. That was after we had J arrived.. He also offered to bet a \ bottle of champagno that plaintiff would i not preach in any church in Auckland. J Uurmg the last voyage out I told the cap- ; win I had heard plaintiff was working t onto the Board of Education, and he ie- '• Plied that it would be a long time before ne would Ret another billet. i >Vhen the plaintiff's caso had closed Mr i tfesketh moved for and obtained a-nonsuit. . KETBBN OF BISHOP LUCit. — Q The Right Reverend Bishop Luck, Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, arrived here by the Union S.S. Company's steamer Wai rarapa at seven o'clock this morning, after a visit to Europe. The following members ot the clergy were on the whaii at the ar rival of the steamer:—Right Roy. Mon- . uSn 0r F >'nes> V^ry Key. Father Walter Ronald (Administrator), Beys. Fathers " t-ara,0.5.8., Lenihan,O'Reilly (Thames), £«<*, 0.5.8., Mahony, and Costcllo. ■ me Bishop, who is in -excellent health ; ana spirits, has brought out with him the j ollowuig clergymen: -Rev. Father Egan, '■ «cv. Father Wissel, and tho Bey. Father *T«guy. His Lordship having been warmly welcomed by the residing clergy and lay . nends, drove in a carriago with four greys ' " ot. Patrick's Cathedral, the other clergy ™a following in carriages. At tho Uthedra! the Bishop celebrated Mass, and . HoineCeui.tiyu.id its t.-uU... ' j BiuUo. Luck Interviewed. feporter at theresidence of the Benedictine fathers, Newton, at noon to-day. His wrUslup left Australia in tho steamer V* fdonian in May, 1884, reaching Mar seilles on July 2nd. Choleru was raging at me tune, and he had to forego his intention oi proceeding to Rome via Nice and Genoa,

j having to tako the longer route by Lyons ■ and St. Gotlmrd -quitoagrandtourin itself. ' After undergoing a series of fumiga tions and narrowly escaping detention quarantine at St. Gotham be reached Rome at the ond of July, and had several interest ing interviews with His Holiness tho Pope, who mado many inquiries respecting this part of tho world, and the diocese of Auck land in particular. Dishop Luck fully explained the condition of Education in New Zealand and mentioned that the great want of the Catholic community was boys' schools, the - girls bcfi?g very well attended to by tho Sisters of Mercy. Through tin influcnco of tho'Pope, the Bishop arranged that a school will be opened hero under tho chargo of the Marist Brothers. Four will nrrivc berk beforo the end of August, and will commence teach ing at the School or the Sacred Heart, Pitt street. Whilo in Itttme, Dishop Luck pur chased two line bells for St, Patrick's,'one dating from the sixteenth, and tho other from the seventeenth century. They are beautifully moulded, anel aro adorned with alto relievo ornaments and Latin inscriptions. Thoy aro from the Church of St. Bartholomew at Bomo. Subiaco and Mon^c Casino, the scats of the groat Benedictine monasteries, were visited. At Subinco ho arranged with Father Osmund Egan to camo to Now Zoaland. Father Egan is Doctor of Music of the College of St. Cecilia at Home. After pass ing through Switzerland, Lyons and Paris wero visited, At Paris tho Bishop inter viewed Archbishop Guibert, and treated with the Superior General of the Order of tho Nuns of the Good Shopherd with tho viow of getting ladies to tako charge of a female refuge here. Ho was successful in this matter, and four of theso estimable ladies will roach bore in May. It may bo mentioned that tho rescue of fallen women is tho speciality oi this Order. At their institution at Kiel bourne there aro at present out) inmate?. England was thon visited, and subrcquently Bishop Luck crossed tho St. George. Channel to Ireland. Cardinal McCabo was unwell so ho was unable to in terview him whilo in Limorick, the good Bishop was much exercised by being reported in one of the local papers to have said " that the few Maoris that were not Catholics were Mahomedans." At Thurles ho interviewed Archbishop Croke, who showed ho had not forgotten his old diocese by presenting to Bishop Luck £50, to be expended on the purchase of tho epis copal throne for St. Patrick's. This article tho Bishop has brought out with him, Tho hangings are of damask and purple silk. At Rockwell Co'.lege the bislup saw two students from ibis diocese ; at Watcrford ho addressed the students of St. John's College, and tiireo of theso young men volunteered for service in tho Auckland dioceso they hive completed their studios ; while at Kilkenny he resided at the seat of John Sullivan," Esq., Lacken flail. This gentleman is a brother of Father Sullivan, of Auckland. At Kilkenny tho Bishop saw tho Vory Reverend Dean McDonald, of St. Mary's Cathedral, brother of tho Very Roy. Father Waller McDonald, of St. Patrick's. At Dublin he inspected tho In dastrial Schcol under tho chaigo of tho Christian Brothers. They aro highly suc cessful, and caused him to wish wo had schools of the kind out here. Returning to England, tlio Bishop saw Dr. Vaughan, Bishop of Salford, Superior-General of the Missionary order of St. Joseph, nnd made arrangements for tho approximate arrival of missionaries for tho Maoris. These fathers will also tako charge of the In dustrial Boys' School it is proposed to ostablish at Takapuna. Father Patterson, of that order, is now in Sydney, and in the courso of three weeks will visit Auckland, and after making a visit of in spection, will report to his superiors. During his tour, the Bishop obtained sub scriptiens for tho missionaries, and also for the general wants cf tho diocese. In Lon don lie purchased a line organ for St. Patricks nt a cost of i'6oo. It is by Bishop and Son, and is dosciibcd as a three-manual organ, with hydraulic blowing apparatus. This instrument, which was shipped by tho Northumberland, now nearly due, was con structed for the colobrated Brompton Oratory, where it was in uso for two years. Ho has also engaged an accomplished Bel gian musician for St. Patricks—a M. Strabello, who will act as organist and choir-master. Ho was for somo time organist at Brompton Oratory. The return to the colonies was mado in the steamer Yarra, and proved a pleasaut trip. At Adelaide, Bishop Luck aaranged with Dr. Boyxolds, Bishop of Adelaide, to preach at tho opening services at St. Patrick's at Easter. At Melbourne, ho mado definite arrangements for the arrival here of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd for tbo pro posed femaie refuge, and also of tho Littlo Sisters of the poor, who will act as nurses to the aged nnd infirm, At present the last-named religious body has under its charge 21,000 old men and 09,000 old women in different parts of the world. While in Sydney, tho Bishop received from Archbishop Moran a donation of tloo. Bishop Luck in vited the Archbishop to bo present at the opening ceremony at St. Patrick's, but found that it was qttito impossible. He made arrangements to attend the Provincial Council to bo held in Sydney this year, when tho whole question of education in those colonies will be considered. Tho priests who accompany His Lordship are Osmund Egan, 0.5.8. (His Lordship's private secretary), Father Pnphaol Wissel, 0.5.8., and the Rev. Gabriel Areguy, 0.5.8. The Revs. Father GeorgoTuckwcll, and E. Morgan, two distinguished mem bra of the secular clergy, will arrive here next month.

NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE COMPANY.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The annual meeting of shareholders in the New Zealand Insurance Company was held thi3 afternoon, Mr J. M. Clark (in tho absence of Mr James Williamson, Chairman of Directors), presiding. The following annual report was read by tho manager -.—The net premiums, loss re insurances, amount to £217,650 5s Bd, showing an increaso of £17,409 9s over last year. After making provision for all ascer tained lo.?ses to date, carrying £25,000 to the reserve fund, which, with the re insurance fund, now stands at £225,000, and paying an interim dividend of 3s per share in July last, there remains a balance of profit amounting to £22,059 2s 7d. It is proposed to pay a dividend of 3s per share, which will absorb £15,000, leaving £7,059 2s 7d to be carried forward to noxt half-year. Warrants for the dividend will be issued at the head oflico to-morrow, and at tho branches and agencies on receipt of advice. It devolves upon tho present meoting to olect throe directors in lieu of Messrs Owen, Stono, and Williamson, who retire by rotation, but aro eligible, and oiler themselves for re-election. The two auditors, Massrs Eraser and Laurie, offer themselves for re-appointment. The statement ot accounts was as follows :— ProkitAND Loss—Dr.: To dividend for the half-year ending 30th November.

In moving the adoption of the report and accounts, the Chaiiman said thoy might be considered satisfactory, taking into account tho ke»n and indeed unhealthy competition .to which the Company had bean subjected. •In the year 1882 the premiums amounted to 1 £108,193 ;in the following year thoy rose to i £200,000; and in tho past year to £217,00 C The prom-oss thus made afforded every reason for encouragement. They had en deavoured to impress upon their managers 'and agents that they did not desire an increase in premium m those places where rates were inadequate, arid until tho business jielded a. lair : iun;'f ih.v would -'0 en Cj'.iictiV, net seen i' '-' "' ■"■' 'ItipVev-: li''! i;t'A" | i s ;, | ■■ inspector, Mr V.'e.-t.n, w=s now in iSnfe ' land, from whence they expected to hear ot an expansion of business. Dr. Campbell seconded the adoption of the report. Mr , Peacock questioned tho desirability ol . carrying so large a sum to re-insur , ance fund, and trusted the directors

would keep in view the expediency of granting larger dividends in the future. Mr Boardman did not think a company of this kind could have ton largo a reserve fund. The returning directors and audito s woro reappointed, and thanks having been passed to tho directors, ollicers, and agents, tho meeting terminated.
