THE MELANCHOLY DEATH AT PONSONBY.

I '^' Inquest (Continued.) Tn> following is the continuation of tho jyfldence of Dr. Knight ait the Inquest on the body of Margaret-McQuoid, who was found dead in Ponsonby on Sunday even ing :—Witness ascertained ■ that deceased had been, recently delivered, within two hours. He considered that her death was caused by. uterine' hemorrhage, which might have been obviated if deceased had received proper assistance. He should think that deceased had been taken by surprise with the labour pains. Witness then directed his attention to the infant, which was not matured, being pro bably a seven months' child. It was very small, about 4 or 5 pounds weight. Thomas McQuoid deposed that he was 'father of the deceased. He was a labourer residing at Onehunga. The deceased was 19 years of age, unmarried. She obtained her living as a domestic servant. Witness last saw her alire five weeks ago at bis home. She was then in perfect health. ;He did not know of her condition, and did not know if she was keeping company with anyone. . ; Pierce Lanigan, contractor, gave evidence to breaking open the door in the presence of Mr Rfley, who immediately got a piece of cloth and wrapped the child in it, and sent it into the house. Witness had fre quently seen deceased, and had never sus pected her to be in that condition. The in fant had been handed over to the care of a nurse, whom witness iad procured to attend to the deceased.

Agnes Barron deposed she was a nurse maid in the employ of the last witness. She had occupied the same room as de ceased. They nad separate beds. Witness last saw deceased alive at two o'clock yes terday afternoon in the scullery, washing up the dinner things. Witness asked her if she intended to have her dinner, but she said "No."- Witness never saw her alive again. Deceased was always cheerful. Witness never noticed anything wrong with her. Yesterday before dinner, about 12.30, deceased asked her to wait at the table, and complained of a pain.' Witness asked her to sit down. Deceased did so', but in about a minute got up again. Witness never saw deceased take any medicine. ' Constable Collis gave evidence of being summoned and sending a cab for the father of deceased. ■; ■

The jury, after having retired for a few minutes, returned a verdiot, "That the deceased came to her death by uterine hemorrhage, brought on by premature delivery, Dut whether intentional or acci dental, there was no evidence to show."

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Tl>» TaJ-iHf PrOJJOBaIH.

A meeting of the Chamber, of Commerce was hold yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of oonaidesing the tariff proposals of the Govern ment. There were present:-Messrs J. Reid (President), McMillan. Lamb. Winstone. Lar klns. Boss. M. A. Clark, A. Bell, B. Valle, O. Aickin. J. Milne, and others.

a he .Chairman stated that the meeting: had been convened upon a requisition from a num ber of members who thought tho time ban arrived for dlacUßslon on the proposed tariff alterations. Tha Chamber hid no desiro to make the matter a natation of oarty politics, but to dteoußb it purely with reference to its- bearings upon trade and industry. Aa a menus of evok ing dtßousalon ho bogged to propone. " That tlin primary object of ihu Customs larim should be -to serve liscal purposes, andi that alterntidhs mado should bo with a view to removing im podlmentß to commerce by limiting the number of dutiable article, and by simplifying or mluo ing the number of rates iv each department of trade: that this Chamber disapproves of the proposed increase in the Customs tariff proposals now before Parliament." In hia opinion, this means of raising further revenue was undesirable. It-was praised as cheap and subtle; but he doubted its cheapness, while its subtlety was no recommendation in its favour. Thi imposts weie heavy and vexa tious, and those' upon drapery, for instance, created unnecessary distinctions. Mr Aiokin seconded tho resolution; The Committee had determined to bring forw&id a general condemnatory roso.utien, leaving the discussion to bring out details. i . ■ ■ Mr McMillan thought they were called upon to make some strong representation: upon the Budget lately submitted to Parliament He had been in the colony now some yean, and it was the most unfair and unsatisfactory Bud cot that had been produced within that time. The obj cot of the freaiurer appeared to be, " Spend all you can ; tax all yon can." i He would have .approved of a comprehensive eoheme of re trenchment, but nothing of the aort was aimed ,Bti -''; i•! t ''■.'■! ■'~;.'; ■". - v ; '' : .'■.''•' .'■■•' Mr John Lamb said that he had never seen a Budget which was more calculated'to drive the colony backward. The whole tchenie was mado up of borrowing, taxing, and retrogression. Mr F. Lmuuns also agreed with, the resolution. He said that in England afoelinff Wai growing in favour of direct taxation as opposed to indirect taxation, .and ho thought the. application of direct taxation to this colony would be far more bcnofloial and acceptable. He believed that a modifled income tax of sliding, oharaoter would be desirable

. Mr Shaulanp. In a written speech, strongly condemned the Budget as an extension of that piotoctioniat p llcy which meant a roward to a few' taplia ista. and a punishment to the people' at largo. Ho beeged to propose, " That Ihe Auckland Chamber or Com meroe does not recognise the necessity of making the proposed alterations in the-tariff and more especially on Ihe necessaries of life. And further, that protection in any form is a restraint upon tbe freedom oc trade.' and in commerce may bocouie a fertile tonroe of ani mr sity and discord, making the many suffer for the benefit of the few. That the Auckland Chamber of Oommeroe would suggest that tha -tariff cf 1888 bo not.altered this session, but daring the iccets of. Parliament, the Tartans Chambers of Commerce in New Zealand be iovrttd to co operate with the Government, the representatives of each province, in carefully reviewing the tariff of 1882, with a view to reoonimonding an equitahln ays'em of ar»>i tloiing duties upon ani 1 s that wll bear lanly and equally upo« ail classed of con sumers. ~ , ■ .. Mr Miuje. in seonnc)inpr this proposition, said that the Budget nraposals were calculsiod to hamper trade and to increase the general cost of livln; to the extent of Sa or la per week .among the families of the artisan olnnaas, Mr Loddkh said that, as one of the promoter* of tha local Woollen Company, he could state that they desired no further protection. . I Mr Sjurland consented to withdraw his proposition in favour of tho resolution. ' 3"r 4" H- ,Nathan said the proposals wore so confusing that even the Customs officers were unable to determine what was meant There were thrue dlffoient rates for candles nud that day the Customs officials'had t> telegraph for instructions. He balky ~ that the extra duties upon soap and candles ..ad been put on to please a prominent Government supporter in the South. Mr John Ross said that So far as drapery wan concerned the increase duties were from 15 to 17J per cent on tweeds, irom W to JO per cent on clothing and blankets, and 60 prr omit on boots. This was quite uieleea, as the local artlole needed no further promotion. Mr Ross went; on to read from a statement which he had prepared a list of recommenda tions deQoinr certain dutiable artlo'ej, his recommendation being that otherwise the free list should r-jniiin as it was. He alsoreoom mended the i < atpODoment of the Budget pro* (totals for a r far, »nd in th» interim tho holdlnr of a congress ot the: New Zealand Chambers of Commerce. ..,-

. The resolution y/aa then pat and unani mously.paraed. ' • > ,-,,; >• Mr McMillan proposer1, "Thatln the opinion OE thia Chtrauor, iho proposed increase duties are highly detrimental to the Pacific Island trade, and in any alteration of the tariff draw baoaa shall bo inoreaaod in proportion." He said that the oflfeot of the propoerf tariff would
