AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNCIL.

A Professor Filched,

At tho mooting of the Auckland University Collego Council yesterday aftornoon, tho following lettor was received from Professor Tuckor in reference to his appointment to the Melbourne University :—

" University College, May 30, ISBS. To tho Chairman of the Council of the Auck land University College.—Sir,—l beg to inform tho Council that I havo been elected to tho chair of Classical and Comparative Philology in tho University of Melbourne, and I venture to respectfully potition the Council to put me in a position to avail myself of tho appointment. It is one which cannot but bo regarded as a decided ad vancement, and it affords an opportunity which ia likoty to affect my wholo career, and one which is unlikely to occur again in those colonies, in which I find myself com pelled to livo longer than I had anticipated. Had my constitution boon such that I could havo returned to England, I should have desired nothing better than to remain horo during tho period of the engagement, and then to havo returned to my own Uni versity. For I may state that I havo never contemplated continuing my present work boyond that period -not because I have any thing but gratitude to record to tho Council and the community, but because I should tie desirous of working, whether in an official or a private capacity, upon a higher plane | and a more special field than my duties at the Auckland College (whoso broader ob jects I fully recognise) can allow nio. Tho exceptional circumstances of tho present opportunity mako me confident that tho Council will soo its way to generously re lease me from its servico. Yet, despite tho exceptional nature of those circumstances, I should not have taken this courso if it would havo ontailed upon tho Auckland Collego any interference of work or addi tional expenditure The preciso terms of tho request I havo to mako are, that tho Council will kindly consent to relieve mo of my duties on tno last day of November next, when the acadoir.ical year closes and tho vacation begins ; at which timo I shall have completed three years' work, and havo received the salary of two years and eight months. Tho Council will thus have at Us disposal moro than nine monthß in which to secure my successor, and tho four months' salary which I surrender will moro than sullico for expenses of appointment and passage If boyond this the Council should require a reimbursement, I am prepared to accept tho terms it may dictate I trust that in consideration of tho fact that tho heat of tho day is ovor in tho work of establishing tlio Collogo, and also of tho fact that I havo at loast endeavoured to do my full sharo of tho work under hard con ditions, which wore ontirely unexpected, and in furthor consideration of tho serious diHoroiicos likoly to bo producod in my futuro, tho Council will consent to accept my resignation. Should the Council, how ever, think itsolf most justified in adopting tho opposite courso, although I shall deeply regret its docision, I shall never theless accopt it, and continue to do my work loyally as horotofore. I may add that in agreeing to tho ongagomont, I was given to understand most distinctly that its object was to provent any loss of money or time to tho Collogo, and that it could ho deter mined by consent at any timo, if neither of theso losses would result, In this caso tho Council will, I trust, see that I am putting it to no inconvenience boyond tho trouble of making a chango, which I havo no reason to lioliovo is likely to injure tho College, now that its work is organised. It will be witli many fcolings of regret that I shall sever my connection with tho College, in whoso work I was tho first to tako a part; but I fool that I havo a duty to myself and my family which comes only next after my strict obligations to tho Council. Trusting the Council will tako a generous viow of the case, 1 havo, etc., Thomas (i. TIICKKR." 'J'ho Chairman (Sir O. M. O'Rorke) ex plained that Professor Tucker was desirous of boing relieved of his duties as Professor of Classics and English on tho last day of tho acadomicol yoar, when ho would havo completed throo years of his fivo years' engagement. On the lirst blush of tho tiling ho personally felt grioved nt tho prospoct of tho Univer sity losing ono of its professors. A great deal had beon slid about tho matter in the palters. Jio did not think it well, however, to hold tho professors strictly to tho lotter ot their engagements. Wo had got masters for our Collego and Grammar School and othor educational institutions from Austra lia, and wo should bo prepared to put, up with occasional withdrawals of somo of our host men thither in return. There would bo plenty of timo in the nino months which would intervene to mako arrange ments fur a euccc-sor to Professor Tucker, so that no difficulty would ariso in that respect. Ho know from Profo3sor Brown that thoro wero innumerable men roady to fill tho position. In viow of all theso cir cumstancos ho was prepared to movo the following motion: — "That the Council of the Auckland University College accepts with great regret the resignation of Professor Tucker of tho Chair of Classics and English ; that tho Council accepts his notice of resigning at tho end of tho current academical yoar as sufficient on tho terms stated in his lotter ; that tho Council, in parting with Professor Tnckor, dosires to convey to him the high estimation in which his sorvicos have been hold by tho Council during tho timo ho held a professorship in this Collego, and con gratulates him on tho appointniont ho has received to tho Melbourne University."

Dr. Cami'hell sccondod tho motion.

Mr Justice Gillies said that however ploased ho might bo to assist in Professor Tuckor's advancement, ho submitted that thoy wero bound on many grounds to rotain his sorvicos, in ncctrdanco with his engagement. In tho first placo, ho thought it an exceedingly bad prccodcnt when gontlomen—whether pro fessors or not —onterod into a bind ing engagement for a specific, num ber of years, to afford thorn reason to bo liovo that whon it suitod them to do so thoy should bo nblo to cscapo from tho ongagomont by moans of an appeal to the genorosity of thoir ouiployors. If any of themselves ongaged a manager for a factory for a poiiod of yoars, and ho turned out to be a first-rato man, and thoro was a rival estab lishment that wishod to get hold of him, ho did not think that more gonorosity would prompt thorn in any such privato con corn to lot tho man go. As a council, they woro chargod with a much moro important duty than meroly the management of a privato concern of that sort. They wero charged with tho duty of laying faithfully and woll tho foundations of a young Uni vorsity Collego, which had not yet attained tho position implied in Professor Tucker's lottor of having its foundations well and suroly laid. They woro only in courso of laying thoso foundations,, and very much depended, therefore, upon the character and prestige of the profossors whom thoy had, And horo, having succeeded in obtaining a professor who.-o eminence all recognised, and which this vory appointment he had socurod rocogniecd —a man of high attainments, who ought to attract scholars from all parts - thoy wero now appealed to by their generosity to allow him to break up at a moment's notice tho permanent engagement for a period of fivo years. If they had duo regard to the fact that tho trust had been imposed upon thorn of building up this Collego, and making it a success, tl oy should not accede to tho application. Thoy had had already to submit to considerable reverses. At the very outset thoy lost one of thoir professors, even boforo ho had entered upon his duties, and this involved the performance of thoso duties by the other professors until tho vacancy had been filled up Those duties, no doubt, wore satisfactorily performed, but the lo?s of tho professor \va r, for all that, a disadvantage to tho Co.'. lego, and to all its students. He considered that the change of a professor in any branch of study was a disadvantage to tho students, but especially so in such subjects as classics and English. Thoso who had entered upon their Collogo course undor Professor Tucker would suffer by lii.s removal, inas much as tho now man who would bo ap pointed would bo almost sure to adopt a new modo of instruction, and thus a definito loss would accrue to every student. Then again it appeared to him that tho modo by which Professor Tucker had gone about this matter was not such as ought to bo encouraged. It had boon going on for tho last four months. Fully four months ago when he was in the South it camo to his knowledge that thoro was a probability of Professor Tucker going to Melbourne. At that time, how e er, he scouted the idea, knowing as he did tho permanency of the Professor's en gagement here. No mention is made of this fact until his absolute election was an accomplished fact. It could surely only have been mado upon'a distinct assurance to tho authorities of Melbourne Uni. varsity that the professor was ready tj accept the appointment, It ap peared to him that the proper courso would havo been for Professor Tucker to have communicated with the Council as soon as overtures had been made to him for tho acceptances of such a position, and he I should then havo aeked if he would be at!

liborty to bocomo a candidate instead of wait ing until ho had been actually oloeted, and then addressing tho Council with au appeal to their gonorosity. Further than this, ho could scarcely boliovo that - tho Council of a University liko tho Mel bourne University would bo guilty of what ! he coneidored to bo an improper act, vi 7., tho filching away from a similar institution ' in a neighbouring colony a professor who was under absolute engagement to it for a term of years. It seemed : to him that they could not possibly have been aware of that, but that they must have acted upon the belief that Professor Tucker held his position for no definite term, and that he was open to go when he could better himself, or to stay as long as be chose. It was hardly credible that tho Melbourne Univer sity Council, if they had been aware of any engagement would havo allowed them selves to filch away a professor from a now co'lege liko that of Auckland. Under tho circumstances it would lnvo been a dis honourable act, and he was sure that they would at onco withdraw from such a position as soon as the facts were placed beforo them They were a wealthy body and could afford to go into the open market just as well as tho Council. And why should thoy not do so? If the Auckland College Council had been fortunate in the pro fessors it had obtained, that was no reason why this system should bo encour aged, of ono university filching away from another the distinguished mon it had beon at tho trouble to pro cure, and who woro bound to its service for a definite period. He felt strongly upon this subject. Not only did Professor Tucker's withdrawal amount to a breach of legal engagements with the Council, but as ho had said, it was a vory bad precedent. No sc-called generosity on their part should induce them to agree to such a thing. He had no wish to hinder tho advan cement of Professor Tucker, but ho did not think that thoy would bo doing justice to tho intorests which they had been appointed to conserve if they consented to break this engagement. He therefore moved as an amendment, "That Pro fessor Tucker's request be not granted." Bishop Cowie said that he had roceived a lotter somo timo ago from the Chairman of the Melbourne University, making inquiries with respect to Pro fessor Tucker, and that .in reply he sent information which must have beon very satisfactory. He was not surprised at tho Professor's applica tion, inasmuch as tho gentleman had told him that it was distinctly understood by bim before he left England that the Profossors were at liberty during the currency of their engagement to resign office, provided they did not thereby causo the Collogo to suffer loss. Acting upon this belief, _ Pro fessor Tucker had thought that if he remained till, tho ond of the aca demical year, and refunded tho amount which had been expended in bringing him out, he would bo at liborty to go. That understanding was derived from Mr Konnaway, in tho Agont-Genoral's Offico, and in a conversation with Prof. Aldis ho had been assured that other professorsholdthesameopinion. He thought it a pity to create tho impression that they would insist upon their profossors stopping with thorn whether they liked it or not, as it would deter eminent men from accepting positions in tho Collogo. If he thought for a momont that Professor Tucker had been tempted away by tho prospect of pecuniary gain, ho would think that Buch bribory was calculated to have a bad ex ample, and that it showol a low tone ; but Professor Tucker had assured him that ho mado no pecuniary gain whatever by the change. Mr Justico Gillies said that there was nothing in tho agreement to warrant such an|undorstanding bb the Bishop had a'luded to. What Mr Kennaway might have said had nothing to do with tho matter. The llov. D. Bruce pointed out that tho proamblo of the agreomontgave tho Council the liberty of varying the terms of tho en gagement, provided thoy were not made less favourablo to the profess .rs. The Chairman did not think that they could entertain any alleged understandings as to tho effect of tho agreement, btill ho was inclinod to lot Professor Tucker go more especially, as he gavo them amplo time within which tojobtain a tuccostor. Tho Bishop also thoughtthat thoy should assist any young man of talent liko Pro fessor Tucker to attain a higher position.

The Roy. D. BRUCE had reason to beliovo that the Melbourne appoint mont was not of Frofossor Tucker's seeking; that it was merely gratuitous. .1 udgo Gillies pointed to tho fact that the Melbourne Council mado pointod reference to the "application" of Professor Tucker. MrYVADUEL thought that thoy hadnoright to bo parties to this breach of a_reemeiit, and if Professor Tuckerdidnot clearly under stand its torms ''when ho signed it, it was his own fault. Ho did not believe that his talents wero of such great renown that tho report of them had reached tho oth-r colonies. He must havo mado special application for tho appointment in Melbourne. Tho Chaik.max thought thero was a pro vision in tho engagement for ro payment of £11)0 for passage and outfit. Judge Gillies : No. Thero is no provi eion of tho kind, because it was nover con templated that the engagement would bo terminated.

After somo furthor discussion, the amend ment was put, and there voted for it Judge Gillios and Mr VVaddel, and against it the Chairman, Bishop Cowie, Roy. D. Bruco, and Dr. Campbell. The motion was then amended by the excision of the last clause, viz., "Council congratulates him on. the appointment he has obtained in tho Melbourne University," Tho motion, as amended, was then passed.

BANKRUPTCY EXAMINATION.

In re W. A. Turk.—ln tho examination of this Lankrupt before the Official Assignee yesterday, he stated he was a carpenter and builder, and had been in business as a con tractor for the last four years. He then possessed about £50 in cash, and owned, jointly with his father, freehold property at Mount Albert worth £1,6C0. His first difficulty arose within twelve months after starting business. Took a contract for £7-0, which proved a dead loss of £150. As soon as this was out of hand he took another for £1,000, and again made a loss amounting to £100. Two years ago Mr Wayto offered him 7_ acres of land at Mount Albert for £950, and sug gested he could build upon it, and make a good thing out of it. He had been compelled to borrow money in promissory notes at high rates of interest to carry out this agreement, aud it landed him in difficulties. His present position was as follows. Tho property at Mount Albert, held j- intly with his father, was now esti mated to bo worth £5, ISO, against which is a first mortgage of £1,(100 and a second of £.00—£1,800, tho only liability, and thus there is a surplus of £1,350 in the joint estate. As regards his separate estato, he owed tho unsecured creditors £1,256 13s 9d ; secured, £2,455-£3,711 IPs 9d. His assets were : Estimated value ot tho property previously referred to, £2,475 j furniture, £100, and interest in the joint property £690—£3,265, showing adeticioncy of £346.

THE PUKEKURA CASE.

The Crown Grant Declared hum,

Judgment was delivered yesterday by ffl. Honor Mr Justice Gillies in the Pukekura and Pauhoe cases, in which Te Baihi and others v. Harete Tamihana and others in tho names of thirteen natives who cl_m an interest in a certain block of land known as Pukekura, in the Waikato district, contain. ingS,39s acres, claimed to set aside a Crown grant. The block was by Crown grant dated August 4,1870, gran ted to ten other natives eight of whom, and the legal representatives' of two deceased grantees, are made defen dants. The ten grantees in 1870 leasedtha land to Mr Douglas, who asaignedliisintereßt to Messrs Grice and Benn, who are also joined a3 defendants. One only of the grantees has appeared to defend Messrs Grice and Bonn. The Attorney-General also appears, but stated that the Crown stands impartial in the matter. The main claim of the plaintiffs is that the Crown grant may be repealed ordeclared void, as well as certain proceedings of the Native Land Court on which it is founded, There are certain subsidiary claims for relief, de pendant on the validity or invalidity of the Crown grant, His Honor.having disposed of some preliminary qnea. tions of procedure, and, examining the nature of the basis on which, the Crown grant rested, said:—"lt is perfectly clear that when, in 18C8, the Court finally adjudi cated as to the ownership of the land, and as to the person in whose favour the certificate was to issue, that adjudi cation, whether right or wrong, could not bo altered by the sham adjourned hearing of 1869. Nor could the Chief Judge sum marily rescind his certificate, Isened to the Governor in pursuance of the adjudication of ISGB, even if it were erroneous, by merely tearing it up and substituting another under the illegal adjudication of 1869." His Honor then entered at con siderable length into variouß legal issues arising out of the case, and concluded: "1 am therefore of opinion that the plain tiffs are entitled to the relief claimed in the first two paragraphs in their prayer, viz :— I. That the grant bo declared null and void. 2. That the second set of orders and certificates be declared null and void. What, then, would be the position of the various parties to this suit?- The plaintiffs would be registered owners according to native custom. The native defendants would be certificated owners according to native custom, and as such entitle, to » Crown grant, if the Government' should think fit to issue one, and entitled to make valid leases for 21 years, they being trustees for themselves and the registered owners, whilst the defendants, Grice end Benn, holding a 21 years' lease from the ten already declared by the Court of Appeal (Aniwaata v. Grice, N Z.L.R.. 2 App.. c. 116) to be valid as founded on that certi ficate, would be liable to account only to the ten for the rents, and tie ten to the registered cestui que trusts for toe interests. As to the future -pplif* tions for subdivision, it seems to too that a majority of the native pit}"' tiffs and defendents havo a right, tinder section 17,1865, to apply for a subdivision. As to the alternative prayer,par.B,lise no objection to it striking out the worts. "and that as such trustees they are not entitled to deal wit Pukekura without W consent of the plaintiffs." As to theprayer for costs, it seems to me that where a grant is repealed, not on the ground ol the wrong-doing of the grantees, butonac count of the mistake of the officers^! tne Crown by which the plaintiflfa have been in jured, no costs should be alloweo. Decree to bo drawn up accora ingly. A similar judgment w%P™ D with regard to the Puaboe HwJ. Mr E. Hesketh asked if the judgment went 10 far as to deal with defendants' (Gricsana Bonn's) right to costs? Theirj«|g been hold good. His Honor said no,cos» would be allowed. '- ;.-' _" f
