Limitation oi Votes Bill. When Slit Georgo Groy proceeded to in troduce his Limitation of Votes Bill, tho Si'kakkk said: "This bill seems to deal with questions of plurality of votes.

The Premier asked without leave to tuovo that Government business tako pro ccdonco.on Wednesdays during tlio re mainder of tho Eoesion. (Hoar.) Tho House could meet on Monday at 7.30, and private mombors' bills bo taken then. Tho molion was agreed to.

A petition was presented from tlio chiefs and people of tlio Waikato tribes, in which they stnto they disapprove of tho Native Land Disposition Bill, in conscqu«Uce of the objectionable provisions contained ill it, and because all control over their lands will bo taken from thorn by the proposed p.Uceduro of tho court. Tho petitioners State! —" Wo shall bo reduced to tho por tion of slaves without any control ot our lands, all our troubles and fho injustice wo have suffered under having arisen from adjudication upon our land by tho Nativo Land Court, and the procedure of the t'euit will become more and more •bjoction&blo in tho tuture." They also disapprove of tho powers conferred on tho Government by thi* bill, aud therefore pray that it be not allowed to pass. 'Frisco Mall Sorvioo. Tho remainder of yesterday's sitting was devoted to tho debato on the Tr.sco mail service, which is reported elsewhere.

SAX FRANCISCO MAIL SERVICE

Tho Sorvico to bo Ronowed for Threo Years.

(IIV TL'LKi'K.U'U

-I'AKI.IAMENTAUV

KKEOIU'EI..)

Wkllixoton, last night. The llouso of Representative* wont into committeo to consider tho following rosi '-.i ---tions :—"That tlio Government bo auth ii fed to negotiate for a fresh mail sci \ ice between Auckland and San FranciscM for

tivo year* at a cost not oxcocding t'.'iO.OOO per annum. Tho I'oatmaster-Gonernl said that before moving this resolution, ho wished to nuko somo remarks on it Ho should not havo thought it necessary to do so, but ho undor.Hood there would bo somo opposition to it. Wellington and Napier hud pronounced against Uio continuation of tho servico, und there fore possibly thoro would be somo opposition to tho proposal. (Hoar, hoar.) He defined that a more successful or less cosily service could be conceived. Ho con tended that tlio sorvioo had beon a remark able success. As regarded tho number of passengers availing themselves of it, and aa showing to tho colony tho latest labour s iving machines invented, a great many useful inventions had been brought down from A morica by means of these steamers, but apart from tho usefulness and-efficiency ot" tho servico tho cost was a mero bagatelle The cost of tho sorvice, after the colony had recouped itsolf by postngo, was really not worth considering. Ho admitted that the 'Frisco sorvice had bocn spocially usoful to Auckland and Taranaki, and referred to the enormous progress Auckland was making That point was worth considering. In refer once to this service Auckland was tho last port of call for the 'Frisco sorvice, and the average timo during tho last twelve months for the passage from tho through port to London was 30 days 20 hours, aud tho average passage between tho last port of doparturo from New Zealand and Plymouth by the direct servico was 39 days G hours. From London to Auckland by tho 'Frisco servico tlio average was 38 days 13 hours, as against 42 days 18 hours from Plymouth to the first port of arrival here. Thus in point of timo the 'Frisco sorvice was incomparably the better. Now as regarded the cost of tho 'Frisco sorvice. Tho net cost to the colony for tho year ending 31st May last was £3,300, and during tho three months ended June last the colony absolutely mado a profit of £705 upon tho sorvico ; while the not cost of the direct sorvico for the five months amountel t0£2,619. Hohadnowishtodispar ago the direct sorvico, which ho looked upon as ot immenso value, but he questioned whether it was desirable if the 'Frisco Servico wero continued thoy should mako it a fortnightly one. The Government had an offer from Shaw, Savill and Albion Co, te run a jortnightly service alternately with tho direct servico. ,Evon without' the 'Frisco service ho could not as Post master-Goncral recommond such a course because it would load to this : a much slower direct sorvico than now existed, and a combination between the two companies. Correspondence had already passed betweoi these two companies and the Agent- General showing they were much averse to tho high rate of speed at which thoir steamers were running, Messrs Shaw, Savill boing especially adverso to it. Tho direct service now gave a great deal of satisfaction ond poople wore naturally delighted with it; but if tho 'Frisco sorvico were out of the way ho vontured to say that they would lapse into a slow sorvico, and wo would be thrown back on the Brindisi sorvice, which in the past had been the most costly to the colony and the most unsatisfactory. Tho present groovo of the mail service was a satisfactory ono, and in his opinion it would bo a great pity to throw up a service that workod so woll. As to tho coßt of the 'Frisoo servico, thoy woro paying annually to tho contrac tors £31,250, while the Now South Wales Governmont woro paying thorn £7,000 annually. He explained how this subsidy was received. Attor tho Now South Wales Government had formally withdrawn from tho contract ho had prevented tho contractors from carrying the New South Wales mails, and then New South Wales agreed to pay us £7,000 ; this colony also gotting the postages from other colonies which had previously boon divided between N.Z. and N.S.W. New Zealand was now actually making a profit out of tho service. He had not much faith of gotting a subsidy from the United States, if New Zealand got anything it would bo very trilling. It was quite likoly that the next contract would not fall into American hands, Thero was an excellent sorvice from 'Frisco to Honolulu, and the remainder might bo tendered for by the Union Co., Shaw, Savill, or the N.Z. Shipping Go. He felt certain that no servico like the 'Frisco .service could suit so well tho wants of tho colony. •If the misfortuno of war overtook Britain, this sorvice would bo of immenso advantage to N.Z. and the Australian , Colonies. They would be doing the colony a great injury if they took tho retrogrado step of dispensing with the service, which

had been highly successful as a mail ser vice.

Mr Levkktam moved that tho wholo question of mail service be deferred to a Select Committeo, to report in a weok, nnd to consist of Messrs Ballauce, Atkinson, Conolly, Fisher, Peacock, and othors. The Chairman refused to accept the amendment, as irregular, Mr Sutton strongly opposed tho 'Frisco 3ervicc, on the grou. d that it was solely for the bonelit of Aucklnnd. Whilo in America, he had been told by on American gentleman that if Now Zealand stopped tho sorviao, America would take it up. America was bound to maintain a mail ser vice with Honolulu, ono third of tho dis tance. Ho then moved an amendmont of which he had given previous notice, as follows :—" That the figures and words " .£30,000" bo struck out with a view of insorting tho following :—" The Postinaster.Genoral will pay the contract ing party at the following rates : Letters, 12s per lb. ; packets, Is per lb. ; news papers, (id por lb.

Mr Holmes speko against the motion, and thought that tho wholo mattor should havo gono to a committeo.

Mr Macandiuw tjid not boliove in the principlo of colonial subsidies, and sug gested that a smaller sum would bo sulli ciont. Ho argued that JNo\v Zealand should bo tho terminus of tho line. He denied that with him it was a question of local feeling; but, was it worth tho monoy ? Tho Southorn portion of tho colony wero paying for that which they recoived np value for. Tlio direct service was the best for the colony, and if thoy could afford any monoy for subsidy thoy oould spond it on that. Ho supported tho referring of tho matter to committee. A littlo bird iiad whispered to him that this matter had somo connection with the East and West Coast Railway. (Mr Hukst and others: It looks like it.) Major Atkinson hoped the llouso would not consent to report progress. The llouso was in possession of sulliciont information to dispoeo of tho question at onco. Ho deprecated the calling for a committee for tho purpose of delay. Tho present proposal of tho Govern ment being to make Now Zealand tho last port of call, tho objections of the lion. member for Port Chalmers must disappear. Ho challingly accusod Mr Macandrow of considering that Otago was No"' Zea land. Tho £30,000 subsidy would bo re couped by postage. If tho Postmaster- General's proposal were adopted, not only would Now Zealand bo tho last port of de parture, but tho service would also result in an actual gain.

Mr Moss said ho had hoard it rumoured with great regret that tho Auckland members hnd mado cortain arrangements regarding tho matter, and had held caucuses. This was perfectly untrue. He objected to tho matter being treated merely as un Auckland matter. It this colony did not keep the i-orvico up, New South Wales would, and tain would mean a vo-y eoriotl! matter to tho colony.

Mr Dowkik Stewart looked on the question puroly as one of economy and retrenchment. Kconomy was a matter of first importanco in tho colony, and every pound goirg out of tho colony in an unnecessary way should bo stopped. Thiro was a tendency on tho part, of coin morcial men to avail themselves of tho direct sot vice, and this would soon bo shown by diminished re»oipts from tho Pun Fran cisco servico. Sevoral Chambers of Com merce had protested against tho service, a id the Treasurer should pay duo attention to tho wishes of thoso disinterested bodies. America received more benefit from this ser vico than we did, and Now Zealand got very fow corresponding advantages. He thought thut with a small subsidy or none a-t all, thoro was sufficient enterprise to maintain a servico. Ho stated thai tha colony was boing pushed ahead at v high pressure. Tho colony would progress as woll as ever if not a single sixpence was voted.

Mi Hri-.ST, after taking credit to httneelf as being a champion of retrenchment,

accused Captain Sutter of being illogical. Ho stated positively that ho bohevod thore was a compact between tho two direct steam service captains. lie accused Mr Mac andrew of ingratitude, as tho Auckland members last ycxir had voted for the direct servico. Thore had boon no lug-rolling on Iho part of Auckland—not an Auckland member had been to the Government on the muttor. " Perish Sau Francisco rather than I should do anything contrary to tho credit of a member of tho House." lie ac cu.-ed 11 r Holmes of desiring to postpone the San Francisco mu-ttor till the Hast and West Coast Kailway was beforo the House, lie mentioned that probably two thirds of the mail matter now went by San Francisco. (Sir.l. Vogol: Five-fourths.) If thosub.-iely wore r.ofusod, il, Would bo taken up by Now South Wales or tho P. ami 0. service with connootion of Now Zealand amongst tho islands which would bo quito as cosily as tho subsidy.

Mr Stoit said the colony woulel domand something moro if tho San Francisco servico was dropped. Ho thought that tho colony gained by tho San Fran cisco servico, through tho tourist tratlic, which would bo tho moans of dis tributing hundreds of thousands of pounds throughout tho colony. Auckland was tho centre of tho tourist trallic, and now tho railway was being mado from there to the Hot Lakes. In considering the question of mail sorvioo, they could not leavo out tho wealthy districts of tho norlh of tho colony, and if they abolished tho San Francisco ser vico, if would cost them as much to supply tho wants of tho North.

Mr UuHSTiiousH admitted that tho sor vico had been a groat succoss as a mail ser vice, but called it a comm'oreinl failure The direct steamers must bo irraintaiifcel, and if any subsidy should bo given it should be givon to them. Ho spoko up to £ho ad journment at 5,.')0.

On tho House resuming, the Minister for Minks delivored his statement, and tho Houso resumed in Committee to consider tho San Francisco mail sorvico subsidy.

Mr Fvkb stated that but slight advan tages acorucd from the San Francisco sor vico, and tho subsidy could bo much moro benoficially expended in encouraging the direct sorvico. (Hoar.) It was of vastim portaneetothis colony, and itoponedupcom munication with Brazil, and other parts of East-Coast of South Ainorica, which promisod to furnish a vory largo market for every possible oxport in after As to the San Francisco sorvico, no inducoment was offered us. America was so built up with tho wall of Protection that sho would tako nothing from this colony. Sho would not admit wool or corn except undor heavy duties, and sent nothing in tho shapo of ex ports except tinned salmon, a few brooms, and bananas from tho Sandwich Islands. (Laughter.) That was about the exteat of the imports to this colony from tho United States of America. Now South Wales re fused to be longer a party to tho mail sorvice, if ho wore rightly informed, and tho Government of the United States had boon in vain invitcel to assist in subsidising the San Francisco servico. He proposed to submit an amendment which should moot with universal support. It was as follows : —" That after tho words £30,000 por annum, thore be added, conditional on tho Govern ment of tho United States of America con tributing not less than ono-third (or £10,000) to the cost." Ho should puWthat amendment to tho House, and press it to division. Mr Levebtam again moved, "That the Chairman roport progress, and ask loavo to sitagain." (Soveral lion, mombers : ''No.") His object was thai; tho matter might bo referred to a select committeo. Ho should bo sorry to sco the San Francisco mail servico lost, becauso ho considered it vory beneficial to the country. Sir Oeohot, Grky said that Uie Honso should carefully considci thisquestion, which was of the utmost importance to tho colony. Ho was satisfied that the uso of tho San I'rancisco mail sorvice would increase, and that tho increase of letters must continuo, by which the Govornmont would soon got a considorablo surplus from postages. Then the number of tourists coming from tho United States woulcj grow larger, and they would certainly visit tho Lakes, and inspect the beautiful scenery of the South Island. Ho appealed te those hon. mem bers who desired to see this country advanco, and to sco thoir young people havo their intellects developed by being brought into contact with men of tho highest capacity from Europe (who undor othor circumstances they would pos sibly not sea), to centiauo this ser vico for another three years. The greatest loss from such a continuance would be £3,000 or £0,000, but ho boliovoel that at I he end of throe years thero would be a clear profit of many thousands of pounds, Ho asked was it worth while, for tho sake of a trilling saving, to abandon the advantages such as must, accrue from this sorvice.

Mr Peacock invited members to support the Colonial Treasurer's resolution on tho broad general ground that it was in tlio interests of tho colony as a wholo. The San Francisco service could bo accelerated in point of timo, and beforo long thoro would bo a thirty days' servico by that route. Under tho proposed resolution Auckland would be tho terminus of tho servico, and monoy hitherto spent in New South Waloi would bo spent in this colony. Mr Holmes thought tint it was quite touching to find tho Colonial Treasurer and hon. membor for Auckland City East in accord on one subject. The Colonial Trea surer was endeavouring topwtect what he

(the speaker) was told was bis bantling, and Sir George Grey was endeavouring to (lo what he could for his darling city ot Auck land, and in their efforts both gentlemen had distinguished themselves for their fanci ful and vivid Imagination. Mr Holmes made a violent at task on the service, which he sold Would only bring the colony a few globe trotters, like Proctor, Froude, and Anthony Trollopo. Thoy did not tfant these mon brought to tho colony at an expense of £80 000 a year, whilo they had such men as Sir Julius Vogel and Sir Geo. Grey. Ho called tho servico "tho darling bantling of tho Colonial Treasurer." Mr Turneull, whilo supporting the re porting of progre. , urged tho granting of the subsidy, saying that it was qmto pro bable the'direct service might fail, and whero would they be then, if they had not tho San Francisco service When the real issue came before the Houso, he would sup port tho granting of a subsidy. Sir Jt'MUS Vooel hoped that neither amendment would bo adopted, and urged tho immediate parsing of his motion, as it would take somo time to complete negotia tions, and the presont oontract had noarly expired. Mr O'CALi.AtiiiAN opposed tlio proposal for the oontinunnoo of tho sendee, ns did Mr Buchanan, who pointed out tho large number of persons who travelled to and from tho, colony by the direct gorvico, coinpareel with tho San Fran cisco routo. These direct steamers would also bo of immenso servico in caso of tho resumption of nominated immigration. Thon a« to cargo, ho found that while tho San Francisco steamers averaged 100 tons a month, the direct_ boats conveyed at least 40 times that quantity. Capt. Ki_ skll advocated tho continuance of tho San Francisco servico as a matter of nocessity in the ovont of war with Russia. Ho had it on excellent authority that Mr Hasloin had purchased Bell and Colman'a patent rights, and that the Shaw-Sayill Company and the New Zealand Shipping Company wero already negotiating with Mr llaslem for the sole right to v.c his freezing machines. l'eoplo who would do that would raise the rates on frozen meats, and onco they got the power into their battels wetold no doubt inciea-c postage charges. Mr Ht'HSTsaid that he knew positively that suggestions for tho combination of tho two direct companies to raise prices had actually been made. Mr Fisher strongly opposed the con tinuance of tho San Franciso sorvice. Tho icason that it was not placed on a commer cial footing was that it was a commercial failure.

Mr Giinness would support the mot'on for adjournment, with a viow of tho com mitteo reporting as to the way in which tho sorvico slioukl be continued Ho pointed out that through Sydney being tho final port of departure the faios were actually lower from San Francisco to Sydney than to Auckland, Tho 'Jommitlee also considered the advisability ol the steamers touching at tho islands in place of at Honolulu. _ Tho balanco of opinion scorned to bo that it was absolutely necessary to maintain the sorvico, but it was desirable to havo fuller iniormu tion than thoy had at present before deciding as to tho mode, terms, and Conditions in which that contract should be maintained in future.

Mr MoNTcu.MKRY said that if tho member for Port Chalmers hod displayed local fceiing in regard to this question, that position wa* forced on him by a remark of tho Colonial Trcasmor. Ho favoured the payment of something out of the con solidated rovenuo towards tho continuance of tho San Francisco servico, because it would bu a misfortune to tho colony if it were discontinued; that nervice dono away with, would leave us at tho mercy of those peoplo who wero nt pretont contractors for tho direct service. Ho hoped a greater rato of »poed would bo main toined. He thought a 8 years sorvioo subsidised by a vote of £-5,000 a yoar would bo siillici.nt. He diel not moan to say that the San Francisco servico would bo of most benefit to tho colony, but he re cognised that tho North Island would be advantageously servod by it, and ho thought it was their duty to consider Now Zealand as a whole. For thoto reasons ho hoped proposal to report progress would bo nogatived.

Dr. . kwmak said that tho New Zealand Shipping Company had already gained bouusos of i'B,-00, and tho Shaw, Savill Company were going at aa great a speed. Uo thought they had no bonus us tho spectl of steamers wus increasing. Thoy should nfct bind themselves for livo yoars.

Mr Hatch said ho would support Capt. Sutter's amendment, or that moved by Mr I'ykc.

Mr BkETHASI said ho would vote for a re duction of tho subsidy to .L' 20,000, and a re duction to threo years. He suggested that in future No» Zealand should bo the tor minus of tho routo, and would voto for a larger subsidy if it was necessary, lie thought that "the offer of Shaw, Savill and Company with the New Zealand Company for a fortnightly sorvico should bo carefully consideroel It this wero adopted, in tho event of tho San Francisco sorvico failing the North Island would not bo left out in the cold.

Mr Barrox supported tho Treasurers motion, but thought that pressure should he brought to bear on America and No>v Sautb Wales to contribute. Tho San Francisco servico would bo a wise check on the direct service. If tho postage was ro ducod to throcpenco—one penny for tho ship, ono penny for tho colony, and one penny for ■ Britain—ho believed that the amoui.t cf correspondence would bo in creased.

Tho amendment to report progress was put, and division rosultod : Ayes, 10 ; noes, 53, Tho amendment was lost.

Mr M.onti-I).mery moved that (ho words " five yoars " bo altered to " threo years," which tho Treasuro assented to, and'it was carriod on tho voices.

Mr Smith feared that immediately tho Sin Francisco service was dono away With, tho direct soiviee would dtaw back to 45 days. Thero had boan objections on tho Fast Coast of tho dolay in which tho San Francisco mails had boon dolivercd at Gis borno and Napier. Ho believed in oi.o direct service and one by San Fgancisco. Mr Kbrr would bo sorry to sco the servico abolished, but assorted that they took ad vantage ovor persons who shipped goods by the steamers. _ Ho did not liko the Yankees, and believed if thero was a monopoly tho direct steamers would fasten on us as bad as the Yankoos.

Mr Barron suggested that Captain Suitor should amend his resolution so that thoro should bo payment by results. Tho House divided on the question that tho figuros £30,000 stand part Of this ques tion—Ayos, 43 ; noes, 31, Mr Firm's amendment was then put with tho following result:—Ayes, 21; noes, 50. Mr Sibbbos gave notice of a further amendment,, "That beforo tho contract is mado the Government communicate with American Govern .Brit at San Francisco asking if thoy will oontribute for tho service."

Mr Richardson- then pregsod an addition of this amondmont to the end of the resolu tion, "That tho same be called by public tondor."

Mr Holmes recorded his protest. Ho pro tested against what had been done. The San Francisco servico had been placed on a pedestal above the direct service

Mr Downib Stewart also lodgod his pro test.

iho question of reporting progress was disposed of on tho voices, and tho Houso agreed to rofuso the additiou of the words "That tho same bo called by public tender " also wil bout division. '

Sir Jt'Lics Vooix trusted Mr Seddon would not push his amendment, as the American Government had unremittingly refused a subsidy. "

Mr Sedh»n withdrew his amendment, but protested against what tho Govern ment had done.

Mr FttwoK said it wss not nccesssary lor every member to got up and protest. The resolution as amended was thon put and passed without division. Tlio House resumed, and it was decidod to consider the resolution on Friday, the 3!st The following is the eKvision liit on Cap t»in Sutter s amendment to substitute a letter rate instead of a lump sum subsidy •— Against tho amendment, is: Atkinson, Bailanoo, Bruco, Barron, Cad man, Beethom, Bevan, DargaviHo, Fraser, Grey, Hakuene Harper Hirst, Hobbs, W.

On more than one occasion the Hoard had been c impelled to pay money for mis uUcb com m' led by someone, and the recent payment; to Mr Pom-ocko o' the sum of £iOO. after that money had boi-n intercepted by the Oflluial As signee, hail inspired in his mind a feeling of dis trust. For that payment ho did not think the hi'oChilnnaii was to blame, for tho notice of tie (illlciil Assignee did not seem to have been brought before him. Hu thought Mr Upton would do his duly withour, foar, be being a new member, and he might mormon tha there was a good deal of force in the aduL'e. " New bro una sweep clean."-Air J. W. Carr sreonded.-- MrClurk said thai ho could not allow the attack upnu Mr Luke nnd the olliciuls ot ili» liourd lo pass iincont iidioiud. When tho Board voted Mr POMEonby Peacocke £200 in lieu or six months'notice, tiny either int-nded Mr Luke, as Ciiairmiin, to issua a clieque for.tha', amount, or else the wnole thing was v. cruel farce. Krery member of tlio Hoard ki-tw lit the time of the iirocurioni posiiou in which tlio mutter Ktood, BCeitiK that P. acooke was a bankrupt nnd *ni paying half his salary to his creditors through the OllicLil Asii'jnee.-Mr Cooper denied that iho members of the Hoard know anything of the sort at the time Tho -Assiuuce mudo lna demand subsequently.—Air Clailc replied tha' sit iinv rate Air Luko in s'uai'ig the cheque for Pi.cdol e.i money, and.'tho Secretary in paying it, hiniulv carried out the letter and spirit ot t'.n H iiirii'.-iicsolution.-Upon n vote boing tikeu, Air Upton wiiselor.ied.and Mr Luko accordingly vaulted the ol,air iuhls favour. In returning thanks for the honour conferred upon him, Mr Upton said tbat ho accepted hit c'.oow«u not ts having been upon pornonal ground?, for ihcre itssur. dely Mr Luko would havo bceh returned, but beca'ise ho rupri edited that section of the Hoard which heldthit llioro should boa more llbcinl Interpretation of tlie Act, to as to in cr, use tho usetulnesa und powers of the School CommiUfCS. It would bo bis endeavour to give cll'ect H3 far as possiblo to thiit virw, but at the same timo he intended to prove a faithful ser vant of the Hoard, and not of any m*ra section of it.

Aujccikp Indhcent Assault.—ln refcreiico to the charge o! i- ducent, assault preterrod by Lucy J. Hurling, ot Waiorongomai School, ngainm William Henry Hawkins, of To jirohu West .School, tho Committees of both place" re ported the result, of the investigations tier had ■nude. The Waincu Committee recommended tho Hoard to remove Mr Hawkins from the district immediately, as thoy considered the charges against him to havo been continued ; also, that the Board should appoint a tcaeher to Micc-rd him. 'Iho To Aroha West .Committee recommended tin removal ot Mr Hawkins from the district.—Mr Cooper considered that f.ir Hawkins had clearly shown a wantot can dour, und his statements were inconsistent. 'Iho I'irl al.o god that when ttiCHsaault was attempted Hawkins told hor that no troublo would outue, ns ho would loud hor a elector's book. Now in his ovidenco beforo tho Hoard Hawkins sTenuously denied that ho had any work on sexual science in hin possession, but his friend Mr Jtiovell had admitted that ho himself had such a book, and that Hawkins had had tlio control of it, so that I his fact served to strengthen tho girl's evidonce. The board could not allow snch a grave matter to pass over wilh tho mere removal of tlio teacher, and he undowtood that i action wus not takon by the hoard, the girl herself would institute a pros, cution against Hawkins. Ho thoro^nro proposed that Air Hawkins should receive three monthv notice of the termination of his engagement.—l'ro fo<Bor Tucker thought from the Uippant manner in which the girl had given hor evidence that the b)»me was not all on one sido. Thero was evidence on the. other side showing that tho girl had not been truthful, and it seemed probable that sho would not have Mid any thing at all about the matter had the not heard U,e rumours concerning it that were iv circulation. If she had been no they would havo their te-.ich".i 9 lo tic, sho would havo ru&de smio complaint without waiting at all. Then, further, it appeared that she had told different itorios at different limes He would vote for tlio ilisini-'sal of tho mole teacher, but a'so thought th a there shouid hi an expression nf opinion as to the propriety of allowing the female teacher to romain in tho district. He would, therefore, move that flio should bo re mo Vi d to somo other district.—Mr Cooper accepted this as nn addition to his motion.—Mr J. M. Clark supported the motion ns amended by iho addition cf I'roC-ssor Tucker's pro position, lie wis almost inclined to think that both male and female (.eauhor should bo ela sed together. __.(_ did not hear tlin young ladj's evidene, but ho heard t*o young niati' , Mid hi? ennviction in listor.ing to him was that ho wußßjoaUnu tho truth in denying the charge of i-a.'iiult, but Unit at the fame timo ha had placed himself in a false position, and could not ex plain away tho circumstances. Tho impression made upon him wsb that, Hawkins mado im proper proposals to the younej lady, but that he did net go to tho ex ent of iho alleged assault. They were- only 30 yards distant from a house, and yet tho girl ti«d not, scream. iSot having tlouo jo, she was scarcely to be beliovcd whoa she said Hawkins assaulted her, and that she was draw.-i down and held down. Ho inferred from the whole, circumstances that Hawkins made improper proposals, and that whilo the girl was not prepared to so tho length ho wanted, yot she gave tho man encouragement, and she would not have mado any complaint a* all hud not a report of the ull'dir got abroad. It occurred on Friday night, and sho did not speak of it until tho Monday follow ing. Ho thought she deserved dismissal.—Mr Goldie: Hear, hear.—Mr Cooper pointed out that tho ovidenco was altogothor insufficient to warrant dismissal of tho girl.—Tho resolution, viz, that Mr Hawkins -fcceivo thn o months notice, and that Miss Harling should be re moved to somo other district, was thon put and carried.

Ararimu YALijtT.-It was resolved, on the motion of air Cooper, (I) " 'fnat the reeolution of 26th Juno, 18S-5, deferring for three months tho soiitiideration of tho application far a pupil teacher for Anrinui Vallus School be rescinded, and that tho Board at this meeting consider tho said application ; (2) that tho pupil teacher be appiiiiitcd." District Sfnoi,Assnirs.—lt was also agreed, on Mr Coope.'s motion, (1) "That tho question of admitting iho latn and informal entries of candidates for rii triot sch6latsl»ip3 be recon sidered by tho Board ; (2 that these candidates bo admitted to the examination."

After tome eiscusiim, the furl her consideration of tho matter was doferred for n week.

AIiLEGKO Seduction.—The Chairman of Te Arai .School Commit co wrote under date of 2nd inst.: "At a n oelidß of the Arai School Committee hold this day, in consequence of a report, made against tho teacher. Mr J. N. Alan den, ho had leavo to proceed to Auckland to Lot manic. l.

Ilctter the school bo slosed for a week or two, until the Board can arrange about his successor, thsn allow him to remain." A copy of tho letter had boon forwarded to Mr Alar-den. and ho replied under date. Julr 15, _ With regard to tho statements made in the first part i.t tho letter. I onn offer you ne cx p nnation."

TJnlcsa severe 'punishment were meted out, in such coses, this soit of thing would continue, to 'heir distracc and disr credir. He proposod that tho young man should he dismissed. — Professor Tu.-ker whilo rnrloifling Mr Gohlio's remark about tho necessity of punitive action on the part of tho Board, poinkd out that inatmt ditmis-al would bo unduly harsh, see ing that a school teacher who lost em ployment under (he Board had perfo-ce to qualify hitmclf for some othr calling. A littlo timo for preparation was thore'oro ox pudiont. He moved as an amendment that tho teacher tlionnibe" isniiss-.dat tho endoftlioyoar -Mr Cooper wasavorso to hasty action.

He should liko to know if tho girl in this case had bosn a pupil in theechcol at the time the seduction took i place.
