THE GRAND JURIS ADDRESS TO JUDGES WARD.

His Honor's Reply

Appended is the reply of Mr Justice Ward to the address made to him by the Grand Jury. Owing to the lateness of the hour yesterday when the address was pre sented, we were unable to do more than publish the text, of tho address. When Mr Graves Aickin, the foreman of the Grand Jury, had concluded reading the address, His Honor requested the Grand Jury to resume-their seats in the jury box. In replying, Mr Justice Ward appeared considerably moved, and faltered several times while making the following reply :-- Mr Foreman and gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—l have to express sincere thanks to you on behalf of myself and Mrs Ward for the flattering address just tendered to me. I need not say how pleasant it will be to her to know that her work in Auckland has met with such a recognition from you. That work has proved a decided success: and, truly, she has done what she could. But' in estimating it we must take into consideration all the assist ance that is due to the wisdom of the Fathers of the City; to the munificent generosity of Mr Dilworth ; to the kind ness of other subscribers, and of the Ladies' Committee; and last, but not least, to the energetic and indefatig able Honorary Secretary, Mrs Lilly. Our future is still somewhat uncertain ; and if wo remain here, we trust the success of the Kindergarten School will be thoroughly assured. If we depart, then we will fis-k all who hold us in kindly remembrance to give, the institution a kind word and a helping hand, for the sake of the little children. As for me, I am conscious of many failures and shortcomings in my work, but atleasl I have not spared myself. For the rest, we can not foresee the future; but at alleventswuare indebted to Auckland for a warm welcome, a delightful sojourn, and—if it needs must b e — a cordial and hearty farewell. 1/ your kind wish for our return be fulfilled, no one will be more pleased than ourselves,, for no one will regret our departure more. But if not —well,

If not, why then this parting was well made.

NORTH SHORE WATER SUPPLY.

The public meeting convened the Mayor (Mr Malcolm Niccol) on the above question was to have been held in the local hall last evening, bub tho bountiful supply of the aqueous fluid which fell from above during the evening,and especially ftboubthehour for commencing business, pof*ibly put a damper on the majority of those wishing to discuss the question advertised, and as a conse quence only about fifty or sixty persons interested responded to the invitation. Mr Niccol addressed those present, and suggested that a vote should be at once taken as to whether, in view of the sparse attendance, the meeting should be gone on with, and stated ftiat the present informal meeting had bee/i called owing to a petition which had been, presented him on the sub ject, added to which he mentioned the late fires in the district, but more especially as the dry wer/ther had seb in earlier than usual, and, consequently, reason to fear that water would be less plentiful in the borough tlian it had been in previous years. The iforrtagh Council were taking steps to provide Takapuna with the necessary re quirements, and when the Council had de cided he would take occasion to reply to the prayer of the petition already referred to. In addition to the question of water supply, something sHould be done at once in reference to the formation of a five brigade ; also some necessary sanitary matters required the attention of the rate payers. ■"' ■•>• '■••■ • ■ •■ The question as to whether the business before the meeting,should be gone on with was then negatived.- Mr Niccol further stated that steps should be at once taken to form a bucket brigade, several residents having'intimated their willingness to assist in such a needful service. He also suggested that firebells should be erected throughout the district without delay. Mr E. VV. Alison then proposed that the meeting adjourn until Monday next at the same hour, which was seconded by Mr Peacock, who asked whether on that occa sion a comprehensive water supply scheme would be in readiness. Mr Niccol replied that such scheme had been prepared, as also an amended one by the engineer. In reply to further questions, Mr Niccol said the question of the opening of the new cemetery, which had notyetbeenused,would require to be dealt with. The Library Act should also be brought into force at once, as £50 per year was supplied by the rate payers, who were entitled to another £50 from the Government—all that was required on the question being a poll of the rate payers. It having been decided that the water supply question should take precedence of all other business on Monday evening next, and if time permitted the formation of a fire brigade, etc., the meeting terminated.

ST. JAMES'S CHURCH SOIREE.

The annual soiree and entertainment was held in St. James's Hall last evening. There was a good attendance, despite the prevalence of most unfavourable weather. Tables were presided over by the following ladies : Mesdames Macnicol, Briton, Bal lanfcyne, Teasdale, Gash, Wilson, Danne ford, McKay, and Entrican, Misses McPherson and Macky. There was also a table provided by the young men's Sun day morning class. After tea, the chair was taken by the Rev. R. F. Macnicol (pastor). Selections of music were ren dered by the choir, and addresses were delivered by the Chairman, the Rev. Mr West (St. David's), and the Rev. Mr Wor boys (Avondale). The Chairman, in the coarse of his remarks, said that he took that opportunity to give the right hand of fellowship and a hearty welcome to the Rev. Mr West.wbo had been sent out to the colony by the Free Church of Scotland. Kindly reference was also made to Mrs West,who was desirous of aid ing her husband in church work. The Programme of the evening included the Kllowing items :—Anthem, " O, Taste and See," choir ; song, " Let Me Forget Thee," Mrs Johnson ; duet, " Pulaski's Banner," Misses Davis; glee, "The Cloud-capped Towers," choir ; song, " Breaking ■ the Ice," Miss Edmonds ; quartette, "Calm be Thy Slumbers," Mrs Edmondes, Miss Davis, and Messrs McCoskrie and Ed mondes ; glee, " The Soft Winds," choir; reading, "The Jubilee Beadle;" song, " Dolly's Revenge," Miss E.

SMUGGLING FROM VESSELS.

(by telegraph.—press association.)

Christchukch, Wednesday. At the Lyttelton R. M. Court to-day, a man belonging to the barque Estrella was fined £11 Is 6d and costs for smuggling cigars from that vessel. Thos. Cooper, mate of the s.s. Akaroa, was charged with smuggling 385 cigars and 22^1b of tobacco on Sep tember 6. Mr Rose, Collector of Customs, said the goods were valued at £10 4s 3d. He decided to sue for £100 instead of for three times the value of the goods. After hearing evidence, the case was dismissed.

FIJI NEWS.

Annexation to Victoria

Suva, September 2nd. The movement having this object in, view which I reported in my last, is in actual and energetic progress. Meetings have now bebnWd in the three chief centres of Euro pean population, and in each the same line of action has been unanimously adopted. Memorials hare been drawn up for presenta tion to both Houses of the Victorian parlia ment praying for consent and co-operation, and a petition totheSecretaryof Statefor the Colonies has also been prepared. All are now in course of public signature, and hardly a, name has been withheld.' The pe tition to the Secretary of State will be pre sented to the Governor by the unofficial members of Council, at a meeting of the Council, with a request that it may be trans mitted. As soon as the memorials are fully signed they will be forwarded for presenta tion, and it-lias been decided to despatch MrT.H. Frichard, the editor of the Fiji '«Times,"/with them to Melbourne, to as sist the Weal committee in that city with his special knowledge of local detail. He will be leaving within the next fortnight, i and he will "take with him the earnest wishos of everyone for the success of his mission.

The Mills

There is not much to report from the various mills beyond that last noted. All .-ire at work, the Leeward mills with fair results, while those at Ba, Penang, Elling ton, and Mago are getting excellent re turns. The .yield from the mill last named ia exceeding any former output, and as heavy rains have fallen at intervals during fcllO month, renewing the moisture of the soil, the stand of young cane is in splendid order. The C.S.R. Company's big Rewa mill will stop in a day or so for about six weeks, as the spell will benefit tho cane yet to be crushed, and will give the planters time to look to the next ratoon crop. At Navuaand Deubathemillsare steadilycrush ingand the managersare thoroughly satisfied with the prospect. All the sachrocrata, and in fact the colonists generally, are more than satisfied with the alteration in tho Victorian sugar duties, particularly as the Fijian white prepared by the leery process will go in as unrefined sugar, at the rate of £2 10s per ton. It will be of immense as sistance to the industry in Fiji, and it is accepted as a good augury for the future, when, through the incorporation of Fiji with Victoria, the product will go in free.

Minor Trod nets

Tea i 9 doing well, as the shipments to your colony by the Union Company's steamers testify. The growers are conn dent about its success on any scale, and an observer only wants to look at Fiji to conclude that if it can grow no thing elso it can grow leaf. Mr Barrett, of Wainunu, an old Indian grower, declare 3 that the yield is at least 25 per cent, ahead of that obtained in Assam, or on the Darjeeling hills, and the only question in Fiji is that of labour. This the Governor is beginning to see, and ib is said that in future fewer difficulties will be met in ob taining native labourers. At Mago, tho cotton crop is looking well, and the cocoa nuts are recovering from the effects oi' tho 1886 hurricane. The damage done by that visitation was only imperfectly estimated at the time, but as the months go on, and s ill the copra only comes to market in driblets, it is better known what injury the colony actually sustained. 1L will be far into next year before the normal yield ia restored.

General Items

H.M.S. Nelson left Levuka for Havannah Harbour, Sandwich, on the 12bh ulb. There she was to be met by the Diamond, the Admiral was to hoist his flag on the latter for a cruise, through the islands, and the Nelson was to go back to Sydney.: H."M.S. Swinger has been on a cruise of 10 days with the Governor to Kadavu, and left yesterday morning for Noumea. The material for the Solo lighthouse is being conveyed to its site by the Govern ment steamer, and the work of erection is going slowly forward. A new labour regulation requires that the agent shall sign a consent to piy the labourers wages if the employer fails to do so. And all for 5 per cent. ! The sentence of death passed on the Polynesian who murdered his mate at Taviuni lias been commuted into penal servitude for life.

The " Polynesian Gazette " has made an other start in Levuka. The proprietor is Mr Whitfield, who aforetime represented the typographical department. The Government lias taken the first step towards solving the present financial diffi culty. The bwo European typos have been discharged from the Govern ment printing office, and their places supplied by specially-imported Singalose. We are now looking for some Coolie clerks, and a Eurasian Governor.

Rumours of gold discoveries are again rife. It is said that a Victorian miner who has been prospecting in the Serua district has found good stone A specimen about the size of a larjje pea, studded with fine gold, is shown as having been found on the windward side of Viti Leva.- I would not like to hold shares in the company. Foreign arrivals during the month have been : — The Sharpshooter, barque, arid Spinkie, brigantine, at Levuka, both coal laden; and the Rosenberg, barque, at Suva. The barque Florence Trent is load ing at Laucold. The departures have been the William Turner, barque, the Gazelle, brigantine, and the three-master Thistle.

Shocking Revelations at Christ church.

(BY TiiLEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Chkistchurch, this day. At the Police Court yesterday, Mrs Alice O'Neill appeared on remand, charged with committing a breach of the peace on Mon day. The case arose out of the circum stances published yesterday of Mrs O'Nei 1 threatening to assault a German shoemaker named Wagschall. The police now stated that both Mrs O'Neill and her daughter, whose age was considerably over fourteen years, had been in the habit of inviting 'Wagschall for improper purposes, and that Wagschall had from time to time given the daughter money. In the witness-box Wag schall admitted tho truthfulness of this, and confessed that he had for some time been improperly intimate with the accused and her daughter. Mrs O'Neill was very ex cited, and declared herself unable to ques tion bhe witness. Mr Beetham said that the case assumed a very different aspect to what it had appeared at the first blush. He took Mrs O'Neill's silence as proof of the truthfulness of what had been stated. The whole story was beastly in the extreme. The accused was ordered to find one surety of £20 to keep the peace for three months.

Free Trade Idolatry.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—All bona fide settlers and genuine working men, who have no political axes to cu-ind, must be triad to observe from your columns that our Radical League has not allowed itself to be so gulled by the electioneering "roar" for retrench ment as to turn its back upon those advanced Liberal statesmen who have been fighting its battles for years, to throw itself confidingly into the arras of any party-more especially of that clique that is now craftily straining every nerve to relieve property of ite proper burdens and fleece the poor by taxing tea, sugar, and other necessaries of Me. Iho " roar " for retrenchment comes with a very bad grace indeed from that free trade cairn whose leader. Major Atkinson, only last year ridiculed the Government sugges tion to cut down official salaries in pro portion to the late fall of prices as an attempt to regulate them according to the price of potatoes." The British Govern ment arc evidently quite prepared to aban don their free trade idolatry rather than see their sugar industry crushed by foreign bounties, and if our farmers, whose wheat market has been entirely swept away durino- the last seven years by the silver bounty afforded to India by the appreciation of <*old, are blind enough to fold their arms and worship free trade till their meat market also has been annihilated by the liberal bounties just granted to it? exporters by the Argentine Republic, Heaven held them ! for they must be quite unable to take care of themselves. Ifc is a remarkable fact that while half the men yon meet will toll you that they were free traders at Home, but have changed their creed since they arrived in the colonies, you may almost search in vain for a convert in the opposite direc tion. That should surely satisfy any im partial observer that colonial free trader* are in a state of evolution, and deserve pity rather than censure for being yet in the chrysalis form. Many are so . prejudiced and obtuse that they can only learn wis dom in the bitter school of experience, and it is painful to think how many who have been taught to worship free trade from their infancy will superstition sly cling to their idol till, one by one, they are forced to hand over tho savings of a lifetime to the bailiff or mortgagee, and slink away, broken hearted, with their wretched families to swell the ranks of the unemployed.—l am, etc., Fair Trader.
