PRESENTATION TO MR GLADSTONE

STIRRING AND HOPEFUL SPEECH.

No Carpet Knight.

'SPECIAL TO ASSOCIATION.]

London, October 5.

A deputation of carpet-weavers from Kiddei minster have waited upon Mr Gladstone and presented him with a handsome carpet. They congratulated him upon Ins Irish policy, aud con demned tho repressive measures adopted by the Government in dealing with that 'country.

Mr Gladstone, in reply, thanked them for the gift which he had pleasure in accepting. He said that though he had suffered a smashing defeat at the last general elections, recent bye elections had shown that public opinion was rapidly changing. A fc present he was hopeful of an early

return to power.

The secession of Mr Goschcn and other Liberals had tended greatly to weaken the Liberal party; but those gentlemen were now placed in the most deplorable position of being connected with the Conservative party.

Referring to the Irish Question, Mr Gladstone said that a settlement of the difficulty would soon be arrived at, and he would be delighted if the Tories forestalled the Liberals by bringing about that settlement. . .

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN LAGSHIP.

London, October 5.

The "Standard" states that H.M.S- Orlando has been ordered to take the place of the Nelson as flagship of tho English Admiral on the Australian station.

The Orlando is one of the fines and most modern of Her Majesty's warships. She is a twin-screw, steel-plated c ruiser of 5,000 tonsandher engines are equal to 8,500 h.p. She has therefore a remark ably high rate of speed. The Northampton which was spoke of some time back as likely to be appointed flagship to tbe Australian station is 2,630 tons larger than tho Orlando and yet the latter was 2,500 more horse, power than the older vessel. Tho Nelson is 7,630 tons, or 2,630 tons larger than the Orlando, and yet tho latter has 1860 more horse power. The Orlando was in course of construction by the Palmer Shipbuilding Company at Jarrow-on-Tyne in 1886, and she was not out of the builders' hands in January, 1887, so that she is quite a new vessel. She carries twelve guns, and is otherwise a most formidable war-ship.

HODGE VERSUS DARGAVILLE.

i Moke than tho usual amount of interest i shewn in small debt cases was manifested in , one which came before tho Resident Magis" traces Court to-day. Mr Wm. Hodge, o. ' electioneering fame, sued .Mr J. M. Dar > gaviilo for tho sum of £5, and put in his little bill as follow.-):—J. M. Dargaville ; late M.H.R., debtor to Wm Hodge, Quoen , street, for services rendered at City West election in 188*3, and acting as scrutineer for same, £10 ; by cash qu account per A. Glover, £5 ; balance due, £5. Mr Cotter • appeared for the defendant, and Mr Hodge > appeared in person. Mr Hodge went into the witness box and deposed that on the 1 21st of July, 1884, he was in the Auckland , Hotel with Messrs Dargaville and Glover. Mr Dargaville asked Glover whether he could get him a good, scrutineer, and said he would not mind giving £10 if ho could get a good man. Glover said witness would make. a good scrutineer, and he was engaged accordingly. In cross-examination Mr Hodge was unable to swear that Mr Dargaville said to him directly, " I'll give you £10 to act as scruti neer," and he was also placed in a difficulty by Mr Cotter asking what he meant by "services rendered," as that would come under tho Corrupt Practices Act. Mr Hodge then admitted that ho had attended a committee meeting, and that there was "something" which he did after the scrutiny. Mr Cotter quietly asked " Well what was it ?" and Mr Hodge replied " well I got out of the hall after the polling, and before I knew I was lifted off my feet and found myself in Mr Dargavillo's cab on the ofcliei- side of the street."' This sally caused much laughter, Which was increased upon _V'l v Cotterobserving"oli,lsee, you took an aerial flight across the street." Mr Hodgcadmittcd that he had never distinctly. anked Mr Dargaville for the money, and had never presented his account until about ' a mouth ago. Evidence was also given by ■ Albert Glover, who deposed that the ordinary fee for a scruti i neer was from £2 to £5, and that he con sidered Mr Hodge had been sufficiently | paid. Mr Hodge was therefore non-suited | and ordered to pay costs £1 0s 6d.
