THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1887.

For the vi'sb that lack* assistance, For tho wrong that noeds reaistance, For tha futura in th» digtanoe, And tha food that vi can do.

In our issuo of Thursday last wa gave to our readers an article dealing with the inability of our ' courts of lower juris diction to dispose of the vast accumula tion of business therein. We drew at. tention to tho necessity for tho ap pointment of a stipendiary magistrate by the Department for the administra tion of justice. We also drew atten tion to the fact that the revenue of these courts in Auckland more than by three limes ' exceeded tho outlay, taking all expenses of maintenance into consideration. We urged that the present state of affairs was so lamentable that justice was, up to the time- of writing, abso lutely denied to. the. people. Wo go further now, and say that the Govern* menfc obtain ths money of the people by means and by promises smacking, very much of tho flavour of obtaining money by falsa pretences. What these means and promises aw it is our in tention to poinfc out, Lot us take the oominonesfe ."in stanoo, • A trader hoa a jusfr claim for say four or five pounds, or even ten, against a debtor/ and deairea to enforce ifc. He bethinks him oi tho KM, Oourt,and decides to issue ft summons. The particulars of demand are mode out, which; he presents to tha olevk of the Court, requiring a summons to be issued,., returnable Tor the following Thursday, the day on which the Couvt sits for the despatoh of business, The qlqi'U takes the fee as is Ids duty, Ho iasuoa the guuimous, but at thottoie he does so he knowa by sad experience that the oaao eftrmotpoastbly be reaohod that dayy owing to tlw number: oi

adjourned cases already. on the list, and the number of new cases in ad vance of the one in hand; yet ho takes, the fee, which with all the other fees he has received since he became clerk, goes straight to " the devil's exchequer." The - understanding is, tacitly if you will, that the case shall be heard on the day appointed. He is not to blame, and if we had sufficient adjudicating power the case, as a matter of course, would be heard and decided on the ap pointed day. The plaintiff, with his law yer and the witnesses, goodness knows how many, all kick their heels around tho lobby the who'o day, the case is not reached, the lpwyermust bo paid, and tho witnesser too. The case is ad journed to the following day, they all must attend again next day, case not roachcd.pay as berj-e, again adjourned ; plaintiff and all J"rids disgusted, curse tho lawyer, the <*<■»-», the debtor, and tho Court, butfor E ?t all tho time that such a person exietc 113 the Minister of Justice, and they never bestow even a small benediction upon him. But the most remarkabdo / ct remains to be noticed. If the disgusted suitor says to the clork of the Court: "I stipulated that my case should bo heard ?->Rt Thursday. You have broken W'-b', Give mo back the fees I paid yrr; "■'•-the clork says: "Nq. Can't any money once received herf\" Aa a glaring i»":'<vrice of what may happen to an suitor in Auck land, the following, which is authentic, will suffico :—B borrowed a ladder, value £3, from A ; 0 borrowed it from B, and lost it; B p«id A for the ladder, and sued 0 for the value in the . R.M. Court. The case was defended, each sido indulging in tho luxury'of a lawyer. Plaintiff had six witnesses, defendant leven — all subpceiicd to attend. They did attend ; and week after week, for five successive weeks, every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, they were there. The case finally was reached, and judgment given for plain tiff with costs. At the close the plaintiff's solicitor remarked that "it would have paid himself, the defend ant and his lawyer, llis Worship, and all the witnesses better had they made and sold ladders at £,?> each whilst the case had occupied their time." It will thus bo seen that it required one magistrate, the clerk of the Court, one bailiff, two lawyers, ono plaintiff, One defendant, and thirteen witnesses five days each to make one ladder, value three pounds, and it certainly would have been rigid economy on the part of the defendant had he paid up tho moment ho was sued. Our article, however, has had the effect of arousing tho Bench, the bar, and the public to » proper sense of the gravity of the "(nation; for on Thurs day last tho matter was oponly discussed in the R.M. Court, and it was decided that a representation should' b« made to the Minister of Justice, and we then understood that the bar would promptly-move in the matter. Aa vet they have not movod. Wo have done our duty, let them do theirs. Now is the timo whilst the House is sitting, and the influonce of our representatives can bo exercised on the spot where the Minister can be cornered,and prevailed upon, if not compelled,to do justice.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ISLAND TRADE.

The announcement by the Colonial Treasurer that he proposes to discon tinue the subsidy now paid to the Island mail steam?) Janet Nicoll has como as an unpleasant surprise. If anything was considered safo from the ruthless pruning-hook of retrenchment, it was believed to be the inconsider able subsidy granted for the en couragement of commercial enter prise in the archipelago of tho South Pacific Ocean. Was not the Island trade enshrined as ono of the Colonial Treasurer's pet schemes, and was not Sir Julius prepared to spend a million sterling of the public money in launching a South Sea Island Trading Company 1 Was not the kingdom of Tonga formerly under the jurisdiction of tho Governor of New Zealand ; is it not now of greater importance than ever for New Zealand to keep a sharp eye upon it, in view of the impending condition of anarchy there 1 Did not our' Government tho other day offer to pay half the cost of a British Resident at Ttaratonga to watch over the extensive trade interests of this colony 1 And have Sir Julius and the Hon. P. Buckley forgotten 'the affectionate interest which they a few brief years ago manifested in the interesting Saraoan group of islands ] Do thoy not. remember the patri otic labours of Mr John Lundon ,m Now Zealand Envoy Irregular to King Maliotba, the projected expe dition of the Hinomoa to annex the islands to New Zealand, and the many sympathetic responses which they have since given to appeals for 'assistance from the sorely-tried monarch of Samoa 1 Have they forgotten—but the question noed not be asked, they must have forgotten that the island mail .steamer could call on every trip, . and 'land malls and passengers at the Ker mandec Islands—those important and populous places which have justj with a '■'■ great flourish of trumpets, been annexed to New Zealand ! The Colonial Treasurer and his colleagues must indeed be reduced to desperate straits if they cannot make a show of economio zoai without making an un gallaut attack on the '• frisky Janet," breaking all tlioir pledges, and reversing all their policy with regard to tire -Island trade 1 | Joking apart, the withdrawal of the' assistance given to the Island steamer; will prove a serious check to commer cial enterprise in that quarter, and it would.really seem from tho high im pbj't duties imposed on oottoo ancLofcher,

goods which we send to he Islands that there was a deliberateJntenbo i to crush out the trad, "hi* »£o*, trouble was formerly taken to fosUg. To drop the steam communication wm also prove the death-b)^ to the poh i; cal aspirations of thH colony as the centre of a Pacific empir*. and also to the legitimate pretension of^ueklantf as the emporium of South bea commerce. The int^«gta of Auck land traders and of the mail contractors are quite «^^ to these national aims, but «tiU tliej are far from inoonnHerable. me. Janet Nicoll i» now taking , exports from this port, largely conning ol colonial products^ the v*lu« of ovor ■£30,000 per annum, ft"d in muna is bringingregularandeic/Hontsupplnsol cheap fruit. The Government will find it difficult to reconcile .tbe cutting otf this outlet for produce with their loud professions of zeal fc the eneourage meut of local Industrie*. A valu able trade is d -eloping .not only with Tonga, Samoa, and Raratonga/ W* al» with the Jreneh colony at Tahiti, and to cut off the sub sidy before that trade> thoroughly es »"Wished will mean the entire lo«s of it, a* has happened before iv Uie history of our trade conneefcioa witii Tahiti. Then the contractors, .Mewr*' Donald an^ Edenborough, have just completed the purchase of a new Bteamor,t2«s Rich mond, which is ssnccifclly tuiud for tli« Island trade: they hare done Uiii relying on tho oentinuauoe of the °>'l>Bidy, and they will suffer m vo.rely by the Goverument's bre*«li of f-ith. In the iiitsrMt* of Auckland, v. well as of the colony at lai-gc, we liopc there will be stnmuouji opposi tion offered to the proposed saviug of this a year subsidy—a were nothing as compared with the jreat -nil permanent advantages which the colony will gain—and that if not the full sum at leaat a substantial grant will bo continued to this important service.

VOLCANIC DISTURBANCES IN AMERICA.

The news of the fresh utitbreak of vol canic disturbances in America which wo publish today showi that the hid den forces that made things uncomfort able for the people of Uotorua, and also, according to ri*ews received by the last mail, for dwellers in New Concord, and MoryvUle, Kentucky, have extended the spWo of disturb ance to California. Tbe telegram comes to us aa if a towu ruined Monte zuma had boen de«troyad. A tinaV postal village of that n*vnt v situated about 20 milos from Uie popular health resort of Monterey, .ant!' p. obaWjr it ia Monterey itself that is meant. Monterey was the old capital of O-lifornia, and has a population of smj.'. 3,000 pei roi)3. Numbers of visitr »c. pass, tlwrough the town every year on a visit to the hot spring district of Del Monta, a small watering place clou by. Although no eruptions hare, as far as we can learn, hitherto troubled the good people of Del Monte, from all accounts it would appear to be a some what similar district, only on a smaller scale, to our Hot Lake country. Only some three months ago Del Monte lost its grand hotel by fire. This hotel was, next to the mighty one of San Francisco, the largest in the world

NEW GUINEA EXPLORATION.

Our Australian telegram* to-day re port that the ' Victory' expedition to New Guinea has resulted in adding very considerably to our knowledge of that vast and little known island. The river explored by the expedition is ill all .probability tho Aird, flowing into the Papuan Gulf, about longitude 145°, latitude 8° south. This cirex was discovered somo lix years sine*, and has' been previously explored by the missionaries and others to a distance of some,thirty or forty miles inland. Il has generally beensupposed that this so called river was merely another of the numerous delta-months of the great river Fly, to whose wealthy unopened region we have so often dravn osv readers' attention. The Victory is, we believe, one of Messrs Burna, Phillips and Cos. boats, which firm has two Other steamers now trading in the Dark Island. "We doubt the statement that any new tribes We been dis covered,, as the peopl* of tli* region re ferred to are great travellers, and in their constant communlcation v with the coast have been ki cbntaet with'mis sionaries, traders and others many times. The expedUiqn, if it prove a means of opening up that part of the land oh"the eastern side qj the Gulf, will have done muah for tjie future; welfare of NewGuiae*.

In a second edits oo lasi alghfc, we. an nounced that the ship Northumberland had gone ashore on the Patane Beach, Wapier. Later news confirms she wow* antiicipations —the vessel having peoved a iotal wreck. The crew were all saved ; b*» an unfortu nate disaster took placa, rosaUing ia the loss of the little steamer Boojum - the cap tain and other two men feeing drowned. One of those who lost their lives—Mr Archi bald Wadd ell'— had volunteered hie services to assist in the perilous service of taking a boat's crew from the wreaked ship. He was a tall athletic youngs man, aud -was a rela tive of Mr W. ft. WilU, 0 f Otahuhu. He was very courageous and daring, and was'a member,of Napier Fire Brigade. Full do tails of the casualty wll be found in our special report in another oolumsL Mr Ormondhas introdmeed atiis to provide for the reduction of the honorarium of both Houses to LIOO and the Governor's salary and allowances- from L 7.500 to L4,Q00. Mr F.

The ninth anniversary of tho Loyal United Friends was commemorated on Tuesday evening by a social gathering in j;he Masonic Hall, Karangahape Road. W) couples took part in tho pleasures of the flvwiing. The banner of the Order vrsjt f «vl*.yed at the entrance end of the hall, »"H »«e other decorations were artisti cally -rringed, great praise being due to Bro*.

The office of Masters of the was efficiently discharged by McDonald and Downey. A special -need of praife Is due to Bro. Dr. Walkp-, who was untiring in his efforts to promot-. harmony and enjoyment through out the evening. - Rev (/. H. Garland is advertised to lecture on " Johp Banyan " this evening at 7.30, in the .'.-eh Hill Wesleyan Church, Russell sfcreet. All will be heartily welcomed. Th* petition paying the Government not to 010.-2 the Mount Eden Rifle Range is now be'rig largely signed in the city. About 90 copies are In circulation. If possible tbey will be. forwarded, to Wellington by •Tuesday's mail. In tin new customs tariff published by us last ev—iing there were one or two errors which call iTor correction. The previous rate upon dried apples was lid, not id ; the ncovious rate upon paraffin or 4 vn\ candles. Vas ikl not 2d per, lb; while the words '*■ pulp and dried fruit" should have reaq " pulp and {tailed fruit." 1« one of tike interview* published last night relative to the effect of the tariff on several branches of trade, it was stated that barbed wire under the old tariff was ad mitted free. This is an error ; the fact being that the duty formerly imposed was LI per ton, and the additional duty will increase it by 10s per ton. It might also liare been concluded from the remarks with rafcrenoe to enrruguted iron that a reduction of 10* had been mado iv the duty, whereas the duty on galvanised corrugated hon remains as boioro, viz., £2 per ton. The plain gulvunisod iron, which \ras admitted free by the old tariff,) will by tlw new tariff be dutiable 30s per ton: . ! Tlve hoodlum Hugh Storey, who waa committed for trial at the Police Court to day on the charge of brutally assaulting a Chinaman, is a fairtype.of the worst class of Auckland larrikin. Though only about 20 years of age, he has been continually "in trouble" sinco 1881, when he was committed for trial on a charge of unlaw fully wounding, bub waa acquitted. Ho ha* thirteen conviction* against him for vagrancy, drunkenness and assault. A pleasing ceremony was gone through last evoning at the close of the ordinary service in St. Matthew's Church. The, choir assembled in the vestry for the pur pose of making a presentation to theirj organist, Mr Neville Harnett, who for the: last three years has been associated with the, church, but who leaves for Sydney on Tues-i day next. Tho presentation took the form of an illuminated address, expressive of sincere regret at Mr Barnett's departure, and wish-' ing him future success and happiness. The Bey. Mr Tebbs, on behalf of the members of the choir, asked Mr Barnctt to accept. Hie addross, while Miss Halatoatl bunded it; o»er. Mrs Tobbs also handed Mr, Barnett a very protty photograpliic album, as aj proswufc for' Mrs Barnett. The recipient re-: turned thanks in a somewhat humorous: i;p«&eb. The address . was tastefully ilium-' mated by Mr George Morrow. Mr T. Traflbrd, so long and favourably; known in Auckland at a surgeon dentist, ha* removed his old place of business, and reopened his dentistry establishment in those centrally situated rooms immediately over* the shop ;of Mr E. Queeh : street. Mr Traflbrd baa handsomely'fur nished them, and they are now replete 1 with uli the recent improvements 10 dental scientific apparatus and pain-saving con iri ranees for the performance of hi>» profes-; siou. The'modern'appliances'.for dental surgery, as found in this establishment,! are simply, astonishing, and the most; nervous lady may now almost go to sleep for a few minutes and wake up; again with teeth' extracted and feel no pain. This gentleman*' if we remember rightly, was the very first dentist in Auckland to introduce what is known as "Nitrous Oxido.Gas," which has done so much to assist the pro fession. This gas is not imported as is usually the case, but is manufactured on tho premises. We congratulate Mr Trnfford upon those improvements, and we are sure that liis customers and others will- be' better pleased that he has oixiiied such central and convenient premises. We are informed,that the Plasterers' Association has been dissolved by the mutual consent of Its members, in conse quence of it being found impossible to obtain strict adherence to the rules of the Society by all the local members of that .trade. One of the strictest rules of the Union yas one prohibiting sub-contract letting, the members saying that this gives a master an unfair advantage over 3ie men. The late hard times have, it appears, made some of the mora active minds in she Union perceive that it :is better to break the rules of the Union and obtain bread and butter for their famiUee than wait in idleness, on the cliauoe of a better price on certain jobs In hand being obtained by holding out. The result hasTieen tlmt the Union being dis : soWed each man can work freely for himself at what wage* he likes. The Lynch Family of Bcllringers were favoured , with a large audience last evening In : the Opera House. ;. All the Items were loudly applauded, and Mr .7. C. Parlntto was encored in several of his GomWsoncs. An amusing hit. of by-play was introduced between two of the pieeas, in the course of which the style of the professor* of legerdemain was> capitally carieaUrad. Persons in the dress-circle last - waning wore treated to an item not on the- programme, in the shape of a baby in arms, who began shouting im mediately "Home, Sweet Home," was played on; the bells. Unfortunately, the parents did not apparently understand that the insane had given expression to the feelings of the 'majority of i the audience— that " Home, Sweet Home," was where it pngb.t \a' have been at that; hour of the , aight. This evening, an entirely fresh programme will be introduced, all the items' being of great interest. A farce eatifcled "The Judge's Substitute" will conclude the evening's entertainment/ On ■ Saturday afternoon there will be a matinee, -which should prove a. treat for the little folks.. ■ • ~!•"-, ." A oommlttee mooting of the Auckland Yacht Club was held last.night, when a great amount of business in connection with the dub was got through.' The rules wore revised, and Mr H. Parker was elected handicapper for the remainder of the season, J. Goldle measurer. It was de cided to carry out the Club Handicap Race on May 24th, the day being a public holiday, and to give the public a good view of the race the course was tixed between buoys off Sugar Works and Lake Takapuna, twice round — first-class yachts to start at 10 o'clock, and second-class at 10.30. It is to the iuterestof all yachtrowners to enter their yachts, not so much to obtain the supremacy for this short season, but to put tho Club before the public, so that yachting may re ceive that support which will make it a suqgcss in the future.
