Macky), Revs. Sommerville (cerk), Fraser, , a.__t n McLean, Runciman, Monro, Norr- ie _ wins Bruce, Kiddie, and elder* Car"f»'J Buchanan. After tho devotional Snlßr- aa had been cone through, the f 0rC B t-rv read the minutes stating that the SoC?in_H,_d been adjourned until W.ducs- StfffiS W consider the conduct of f' R .VT, W. Dunn in lecturing down South during a six n onths' loayo of absence „r»nted to visit his mother in Scotland ffi, Secretary stated that Mr Dunn had been cited to appear, and was now in atTHEMo 0-E B ATOR then asked Mr Dunn if he was prepared to offer any explanations °f R bi Sv CMR tL -id he wished to know why ho was stopped in carrying out the ftinal agreement made with tho Pro.by toK E Moderator said that the leave was given him under tboiinpro.ston that ho was Sou. to proceed to Scotland, instead of which they found ho had still remained in New Zealand, .... , ± Mr Dunn said that it was known to members of tho Presbytery ami his own conereeation that when he obtained leave ll absence, it was his intention to lecture both In the colonies and tho Old Country. He had mentioned that he intended to work his pasaage. There was also another reason. Ho bad been seven yoars in the 'oolony. ond when ho got homo would, if M ked about, it, be able to say that he knew nothing of the South. He mieht say that tho clerk of this Presby tery had misled them and tho Press of this colony The Press Association, instigated fay him', had forwarded tho news all over the colony, ond had placed him before the bu-li'o in the light of a delinquent What ever reason MrSomerville and Mr Kunci man might hove had, it had caused him to be placed in o false position in 'the eyes of the fjublic. lie had ample time to visit England, and would havo been on his way had it riot heev. for this citation. Mr Runcimas Eaid that ho must object to Mr Dunn going on in this stylo. Ho was making allegations that were unfounded. For himself, ho denied any connection with the matter. ~ ~ . Mr Sommerville also disclaimed bavinp Incited the press or forwarded information to tie Press Association. Ho was ontirely Innocent. , Mr Dunn said that the statements in the tapers had seomed to him as if unkind remarks liad been made of a, Christian brother by these gentlemen when ho was absent; He was innocent of any intention to act unfairly with the Presbytery. The statements made were false. Mr Ronciman said he must demand that Mr Dunn should recall hia last sentence. MrDtX-N said that ho denied the right of the Presbytery to demand him to do so. Mr Rcnciman : Then sit down ; you

have nothing further to eny. The Modbbator then called all to oider. Mr Duns then proceeded with his do ■ fence, flaying that he must admit that he had been lecturing longer than he at first intended,. Tho reason of this was that when at Ashburton ho had received news that his two children were sick, and he did not wish to leave the colony until thoy had re covered, and even under these circumstances his wife's feelings had been hurt by the harsh expressions of some of the members of the Preabytery. Thoy prayed and spoke ot brotherly love', and he could not help eaying that it was needed. He cared not for popular opinion, he knew that bo was innocent, and would serve the Lord in other ways, rather than do violence to his feelings and conscience by quitting the colony while, hia children were ill. Mr RuncimAn moved that Mr Dunn be

urn; removed from the bar of the Presby.

wry. Mr McKenzie Fraser said that ho could net a^ree with that motion, Mr Dunn was hot at the bar of the Presbytery. It needed a very different action to cause him to occupy that position. He might have committed an error of judgment, but according to Church law, that would not warrant him being placed at the bar. Mr Dunn was merely in attendance in accord ance with the request of the Presbytery, in ordor to explain, if possible, his conduct. Tbe motion was accordingly struck out.

MrßunciMaN said that the reason why he had made this motion was because he Could not see any other way of dealing with the -natter. He might say that until to-day he had been on the best of terms with Mr Dunn; ih fact, that gentleman would ne doubt remember that he had once done him a favour at considerable inconvenience to himself. But, unlesa Mr Dunn offered further explanations, *be felt that be must press tbe following motion :— "That the Presbytery having considered the*explanation given by the Rev. T. W. Dunn of the fact that he has not availed himself of the leave Of ahaonee of six months granted to Aim by the Presbytery on the first Wednesday of February last, for the purpose of visiting Scotland, but has been engaged daring the time elapsed Up ta hia receiving the citation lecturing in various parts of New Zealand, havo adopted tho following resolutions—(l) That tb6 said Rev. T. W. Dunn has com mitted an error of judgment in absenting himself for bo long a period from his charge {or the purpose of engaging in 'a lecturing tour not sanctioned by the Presbytery. (2) That the said Rev. T. W. Dunn bo in. structed to return to his charge forthwith." The £ey. Mr Macnicol seconded the motion. He did not wish to be severe upon MrOWnn, but this appeared to be the only c wrse open to them. The Bey. Mr Sommervule said that he was oprry to see Mr Dunn come to tho bar of this Preabytery in such a spirit. Mr Duiki admitted that he hod made a mis take, and it was his duty to have come here in a much weaker spirit. He mieht say that he was entirely free from the charges imputed to him. The Rev. Mr Fraser asked Mr Dunn wntovhe received tho telegram informing ""JW. his children were unwell. Mr-IhjHH stated that it was about seven we*ks*-0: when he waa at Ashburton. Mr-iiaaaa said a.ai.__ui__ m . agroo -.-lit the motion. Without wishing to accuse Mr Dunn of acting in a manner that might iwnO-t Jjo termed false pretences, still the motion seemed tobe themildest course they should take. Mr Dunn had acted in a mairae- that might have caused him to bo plafcajinj, false position in the eyes of the public. Hia mother had proved a source 1 ?J7 th *° himi he had obtained leave to Visit her, and occupied a portion of tbe time lecturing for money. Had he given this Preabytery notice of hia inten tion, this citation would never have taken place. Mr Dunn might say that he did not ca"L tor ihe opinions of the Press or the public; he might mount the rough horse over his conscience; but he should remem- Sf^S? v wonld not do for members of this Presbytery to be twitted with acting in an unwise manner". M-.Cabbick said that it was to be lamented that Mr Dunn had acted in such a reticent manner with regard to this lecturing tour. Hadhe behaved differently ne believed that this mooting would never «!!! be_n needed. It was tho want of K Ul __thathadcaußed thi« trouble.

CHARGE OF ARSON.

louts Dare at the Police Court,

A Crowded Court.

Louis Dare was charged that ho did, on the Is' wst -> unlawfully and maliciously set g re to a shop then in hia possession in Vic torin-etieot, with intent to defraud tho Colonial Insurance Company.

jfr Theo, Cooopor appeared in defence, Mr■ Williamson, Crown Solioitor, opened the gaaofov the prosecution. Arthur I\l. Beale, insuranco clerk, de posed that ho knew Mr Daro. Ho effected an insuranco on drapery for £250 in tho phttinbt and £250 in the Equitable Insur ance Olhces. Aftor tlio tiro, Mr Dare put ; n a olaun for loss, also a statement that (be fire originated in premises adjoining hifl shop in Victoria-street. Hia total loss ff M estimated at .-1,251 14s 3d. Ephraim Mills deposed that ho was a builder in Freeman's Bay. Knew tho premises in V'ictoria-etrcot. He recently effected somo alterations thero, viz., ho took down a partition, and turned ew e rooms into ono (plan produced). ■ Agnes Harloy, daughter of Wm, Hurley, resiuinfe' with hor father at College Road, deposed that clio had been in Mr Daro's employment as saleswoman. Loft the shop on the Ist inst., a little before seven o'clock. Tho last thing sho did that night was to du-it.a number of dross-pieces and rolls of blankets which Mr Dare brought in from tho doorway. Miss Hurloy then described the ■state ol the shop fixtures and positions of gas lights, There weioeiuptyboxesondloose paper ander the counter. She could not givo an estimate of tho value of tlio stock. Sho considered that tho shop was very fairly stocked—not, of course, liko a Queon at«ot6hop, Braham Cohon deposed that ho lived in Union street ; was a cigar maker; ho was a tenant under Mr Billington, Had known Mr Pare for six months past; was in his house on tho Ist instant ; was baying a quiet gam. of dominoes from 9 until 11.15 p, m> fl e noticed thri time, by tho timepiece on the mantelshelf. Ho was anxious to get home. Mrs Daro and tho servant retired, and left witness and Mr Daro to finish thoir game. Left by tho back way through tho kitchen. Did not observe any smell of tiro on Haying tho houso. Whilo tho tiro was Burning Mr Daro came to his houso in iUnion-street for shelter, with Mrs Date, tho two babios, and tho servant girl. Mr Dare was properly dressed, but the fenioles woro iv a hansom cab in thoir night dresses. He did not go to tho fire. By Mr Cooper: Was in bed when Mr Date, called him up. He had got into a sound sleep. The babies wore wrapped in blafakets. Mr Dare eaid ho had borrowed most of tho clothes and tho boots ho was

wearing. James B. Graham, solicitor, and agent for: the Colonial Insurance Company, de posed that Mr Daro effected insurances in biao_ice, viz., ioCO on stock and £50 on

hodeohold effects. He nonfc in an ostimate of his loss, about £1,400, and Bought to recover £350. He was at tho fire. Saw it put out. Thore was some salvage, but it was of no valuo. Thore woro rolls of_ carpet and flannel, red nnd white. There woro also remnants of about fifty dross pieces ; also ribbons, stocking., and Manchester goods. The estimate of loss was examined, and witness expressed an opinion, judging from the debris, that the ostimate was generally cor rect, although he thought the articloß wero less in many instances than indicated in the proof of loss. By Mr Coopor: Ho had arranged with Mr Daro to go over tho remains, but his sudden arrest prevented it. He was quito aware of Mr Dare's insuranco in tho oflicos mentioned. When the insurance was effect id, Mr Daro said he had in stock £150 worth of gloves, but he only claimed for £60 worth, Mr Cooper said the diminution was the result of sales.

Katio Chriatianson, living with her parents in Eglinton-stroot, Parnell, deposed that sho lived at Mr Dare's aa domostic servant at tho timo of the tiro. She was working in tho kitchen until nearly 11 o'clock. Slept upstairs in a back bed room. Her loat jobs wero the chopping of the wood for tho morning and putting out tbemilkjug for the milkman. Noticed, on going to bed, that the shop door was closed. Shecoulil not sco into tho shop through the glass door. There waa no sign of fire. Mr Cohen and Mr Dare were loft balow. Her candle waa blown out on going upstairs. She got intdbc- in tho dark. Heard Mr Cohon leave and Mr Dare go into his bed room. Did nofc go to sleep. Presently Mr Daro cried out, " Katie, fire ! firo !" Could not say what time had elapsed between going to bed and Mr Dare's call to hor. She got up and ran down stair., Mr Dare waa just in front of her, and Mrs Dare followed with the babies; went into the sitting»room. Mr Dare ran out by the back door with the oldest child. Saw a reflection of light from the west Bide of the shop. The shop door was partly open. ; Wentputside and itito a houso in the back lane. Never knew any kerosinc or oil to bo used about tho premisos.

In Cross-examination witnoss said—Mr Dare came down in his night shirt with the oldest child in his arms. Thoy were all in a great state of alarm.

William Whitelaw, living in Duke-street, fireman at the Auckland Timber Com pany, doposed tbut ho occupied a portion of Daro's promises up to the 31st May. Ho removed his furniture by 10 o'clock on tho night of tho fire, and loft everything safo. ;When the alarm of fire was given he wont to tlio place, when. Mr Dare saw him, and said he must havo left some fire in his room, as

it originated there. Ho denied it, and took three people to look, and they wero satisfied that the fire did not break out in tho apartments ho had occupied.

(Lett Sitting,)

FIRE AT GEAR MEAT PRE SERVING WORKS.

Wellington, this day, Alfibe broke out at 1.30 this morning in the Preserving Department of tho Gear tS*£«4j Preserving Company's Buildings, which wa---om_ietoly gutted. The fire is supposed to havo orgi_a.ted by heat from one of the boilers setting fire to the wood works.

A short time ago tho samo building was found on fire from the same cause. The total insurance on building, plans, stock, and fixings, £3,383. The damage has not yet been estimated.

ALLEGED DEFALCATIONS.

lirogularltlco In tbe Accounts of an Officer of tho HAC.B. Sooloty.

Extensive defalcations are alleged to have b.Bn discovered in the accounts of one of

the officers of tho H.A.C.B. Sopioty. The officer in question had the handling of the funds, and having been in financial difficul ties lately, and it is allegedthathe converted between £100 and £200 of the monies of tho Society to his own uso. This ho succeeded in doing by means of duplicate bank bookp, one of which was used at tho bank, and tho othor shown to tho othor officers oi the lodge. Tho_ individual in ques tion has beon carrying on business on his own account in Queen-streot for a num ber of years past, and when he became em bkrrassod recently, a bailiff was put in pos session of his property. Mr Koarney, Secretary of tho Society, feared at the time that something was wrong with the accounts, but nd investigation could be niaclo until tho books wore recovered from tha bailiff. They havo sinco been examined ani compared with the banking account, with the result already stated. Besides tbe funds of the lodge alleged to have been ombez.led, tbo accounts aro deficient ia respect of about £18 Committee monies. So far as wo have been ablo to astertain, no stepst have beon taken to secure tho arrest of the defaulter, and the police havo not been communicated with, although those defalcations wore discovered some time ago. Thore ia reason to believe that tho officer in question left for Sydney last evening in the Te Anau, aa ho was seen on board the vessel immediately before she sailed. She has since left Russell, and if tho accused is to be brought back, it must bo at the ex pence of tho Society. Five of the other brethren wero sureties to tho extent of £100 each for the accused.

It ia alleged that tho accused has also forged tho name of Mr Connolly, one of the trustees, and also the initials of the bank clerk.

DISPUTED LICENSING DECISION.

Aotlon of Commissioners Sustained.

At the usual sitting of tho Supreme Court in Mtico this morning, application was niado to Mr Justice Gillies by Harry C. Richmond, of tho Cosmopolitan Hotel, for a writ of mnndamus against the City North Licensing Commis sioners. Thero was a good attendance. Mr J. I. Campbell appeared in support of the motion; Mr C. E. Button for tho defendants. Mr Campbell explained tho various allegations m tho statement of claim, and stated that in con ooquence, therefore, tlio plaintiil asked for n writ of mandamus to Issno commanding the de fendants to issno to the plaintiil' a certificate for the removal of his license tor tho Cosmo politan Hotel; or commanding the defendants to hear and determine the application of Ihe plfimtifl for such certificate which he main tained they had not yet done. Mr Campbell contended that the Committeo then slated the objection, and aftor an adjourn ment were bound to adduco ovidence in sup port of that objection. . His Honor replied Hint the object of tho ad journment was to enable tho person nllcctcd by Committee's objection to bring forward evi dence to show that It was unfounded. The sec tion said that tho Commit tee might fake notice of matters coming under their own observation, nnd tncy had to intimate such matters to the person alttctod thereby in order that ho might havo an opportunity of replying to them, and might accept that as sufficient ground for re fusing tho license.

Mr Campbell submitted that this section did not entitle the Committee lo tako notice of any thing which did not arise out of the proceedings, and if objection is not taken it must be substan tiated on oath.

His Honor said that of course if objection - were tukcii it would have to be substantiated f onontlu Still Section o,'t gavo tho Committeo i the power ot importing into their consideration 5 their own knowledge of filets. 3 Mr Campbell pointed out that nil plaintiffs allcgdtiohs were admitted except that nvorring that plaintiff was entitled to a renewal of hia r license. Yet in refusing that license the dofen i dants neither adduced any evidence in support , of that refusal, nor did any objector appear in Court to opposo tho renewal of the license. The ' questions he hnd to submit wero: llnd the . defendants the right to refuse the license 1 Was it a qualified or nn absolute right ! If it was merely qunlitled, was it capable of being con -1 verted into an absolute right 1 What was tho i discretionary power intended? Was it v free, , unqualified and absoluto discretion, or was it a tltsorotion controlled by tho Act I After direct ing .attention to Section 78 of tho Act of ISSI, and I indicating the only two sections of tho Act in i which the word "discretion" was used, the L learned gentleman quoted Mr Justice Johnson's remarks in Itogina v. Hurso, N.Z. Law Reports 1 Sup. Ct.. vol. 2, p. PI. Ho submitted that the disoretion of tho Committeo was limited by tlio Statute, that tho defendants woro tho creatures of tho Statuto, and that thoy must oxerciso their powers strictly within the scope of tho authority conferred upon them by tho statute, in giving notico of their intention i to refuse the renewal of tlio license, the defend ants hnd prejudged tho else, and it wtis not for 1 them to tako tho objections upon which thoy acted. They relied upon section ... but tlio power given them was with reference to mat ter that might arise out of proceedings in the Court. Sections 57, 58, 59, and 00 dealt with the mode of taking objections, etc. The learned gentleman quoted a recent Knglishcase Rcgina v. Justices of Mcrthyr Tydvil (11 _. 1!. Div., p. 581), wherein Lord Coleridge held that justices wero not to act upon objections started by themselves and unsupported by evidence. He (Mr Campbell) contended that by section 81 tho Committee wero bound to act upon no evid ence except such na was givon upon onth. His Honor pointed out that section 63 said that tho Committee may, of their own motion, take " notice of any matter or thing" in the nature of an objection to tho granting of the license. For instance, if thoy know of their own knowledge that an hotel adjoined a church or chanol, they woro not called upon to adduce evidence ih support thereof, but it was quttc ovident that they could themselves tako tho objection. Mr Campbell said that tho Committeo then being objectors, wero bound undor section 11 to adduce evidence. His Honordeniurrcd to this. Mr Campbell roplicd that if His Honor's read ing of section 03 was as he had defined it, thero was no nso in going on. His Honor asked if any other section of tho Act could be shown to givo section C 3 a different reading. It contained the special and unusual provision. "Notwithstanding anything this Act contains." It was expressly a clauso overriding evory other provision in tho Act. Mr Campbell bowed to His Honor's decision. ■ His Honor, having remarked that thero was no need to call upon Mr Ilutton to reply, went on to say that section 63 was so very plain that he could soe no way of putting any other con struction upon it than that the Licensing Com mitteo might, upon their own knowledge and observation, raise or mention an objection —which might be a proper objection according to the Act—to tho removal of any liconso; and having mentioned it to the applicant, it was thoir uuty to givo him tho opportunity of reply ing to it, showing, if ho could, that thoy were mistaken in their opinion or belief, and that tho objection did not oxist. For instance, the Com mittee might say that the house was out of repair. Having then afforded tho opportunity for roply, the applicant might meet tlio objec tion by bringing evidence toshow that tho house was now in ago odstato of repair. The Committee be bound to hear such evidence nnd to ncOipon it if they thought it sufficient. It was the same if thoy said that thero was not ronsoniibloaccom modation upon the promises. So, too, if the Committeo objected that there was a church next door to the hotel, the applicant might shew that the church had been abandoned, was not used for tho purposes of nublioworshlp, or that the Committeo was mistaken as the church was not next door to tho hotel. The intention of the Act, as plainly expressed, was that not withstanding that nobody comes forword lo make objection, yet the Committee may. if tliey are aware that any of the objections specified in tho .Act exist, may tako notice of them, even thougdno objection comes forward. This wa.. clearly the policy of this section of the Act. was judicially to tako notico of the existence of an objection even though no one came forward as an objector. It was absolutely clear that this Section—which was not found in tlio English Act and went beyond that Act—was designed for tho very purpose of securing that such ob jections should not bo slurred over or put outside simply becauso of the non-appearance of an objector, and it is conferred upon tho Committee the right of taking notico of such objections if they know of them. They might of their own motion take notico of any auoh objoction to tho granting of tho liconso. and upon Klrlnß notleo ot It to tho applicant it was for him to satisfy tho Commit too that thero woro no real grounds for it. That wnshls read ing of tho section. In this easo the Committeo had taken a proper objoction and had given the plaintiff nn opportunity of combatting that ob jection by ottering evldonco against it. Then they gavo their decision, and it seemed to him that thoy acted throughout quito in nccordnnco with tho Act. Theroforo thero was no necessity for a writ of mandamus for them to hoar and determino plaintiff's ense. Mr Button pointod out that His Honor's read ing of Section (33 was borne out by Iho longuago of Section 81.

Writ refused; costs left to be settled by tho Registrar. ______________________
