AN IMPORTANT COMPANY QUESTION.

Tokatea 0. M. Company v. Richard Mowbeay.—This was an appeal from a decision given at the R.jNJ. Court, Coro mandel, for calls clue to the Company.— Mr E. Hesketh appeared in support of the contention that the Company was still under the operations of the Act of 1565, as the Act of 1572 was nut retrospective in its action. — Mr Alexjuider appeared for the respondent.— Mr Hesketh said that the question under consideration was one of importance to Mining Companies formed under the Act of 1865, as it affected the power of receiving call;*. The point was whether the Mining Companies Act, 1872, was retrospective, and whether companies formed tinder the 1865 were brought under the opera tions of the Act of 1872. He con tended that they were not.—Mr Hes keth quoted from sections 121, 124, and 125 of the 1872 Act, and pointed out. that it appeared that while under sec tion 121 the 1865 Act might be deemed to have been incorporated under the 1872 Act, yet by section 125 it still seemed to have remained in force. —His Honor drew attention to a further clause which stated " But all Acts and proceed ings in such Companies hereafter shall be governed by this Act." Mr Hesketh admitted that in that instance it did appear to be retrospective. The next point was whether under that Act the rules of the Company made under the Act of 1865 ceased to exist, and whether the Company must be claimed to have been brought under the Act of 1872, although not registered. The question then arose whether the call could not have been made under the other Act, and whether the company could be deemed to have been formed under the latter Act. Mr Hesketh then quoted authorities :— Eeginav. McDougall, 3 Australian Jurist Report, page 40, The Tommy Dodd Co. v. Patrick, 5 Australian Jurist Reports, page 14. Mr Hesketh held that the authorities quoted clearly showed that the Act of 1872 could not be considered retrospective, and that therefore the Company could not be deemed under the 1872 Act. He would therefore ask His Honor to give companies in this position a decision upon the matter so that they might know in the future under which Act they were supposed to be working. He also pointed out that the Act of 1886 was in convenient for companies whose rules had not been previously drafted so that they would accord with the pro visions of the Act of 1886 Mr Alex ander in reply stated that the Act of 1886 had apparently besn especially drafted by the Legislature with a view to making the very points raised a little clearer than they were in the Act ot 13 U. He aubmitted that the cases cited by Mr Hesketh had been over-ruled by the case of Chungoon v. The Kcform G.M. Company, 8 Vie, Law Reports in Equity, Sw' He considered that the whole of the difficulties about this matter had armarently arisen from the reluc- Se of the judges to over-rule Si be thought that .%>*s*£ S mmm mmm the new Act, ana m» UTS? **35 <Xmad, *» 1872 -

have been made under the provisions of that Act, and not tbo one of 1365. The same thing was again apparent in the Act of 1885. There it stated that every company shall be deemed to have been in corporated under the new Act. The argu ments used in the case of Regina v. McDougall, and the other case cited, thai, the Government had not intended re trospective legislation, were fallacious, as tins was not retrospective, for it merely regulated matters, for the future. He retevred in that case to matters of pro cedure, and npfc altering rights of parties. As to the Victorian authorities lie con sidered that the latter case quoted by Mr Alexander clearly overruled them. For those reasons lie was, therefore, of opinion that the magistrate was clearly right in his decision that the calls ought to have been made under the Act of 1886. He would therefore rule that the appeal be dismissed, and the usual costs allowed.

OUR LUNATIC ASYLUM.

ITS INMATES AND THEIR

TREATMENT,

LIFE AMONG THE INSANE

Messrs F. G. Ewington* and R. Stevenson, the Official Visitors to the Lunatic Asylum, made their quarterly inspection yesterday. In connection with this visit Mr Ewington haj written an interesting report, from which we cull the following passages :—

During the quarter 18 male and 11 female patients have been admitted, 11 have been discharged cured, 5 on trial, and 12 have died, —the large mortalily being due to the peculiarity of the disease and the season of the year. There are now in the Asylum 3 boys, 3 girls, 241 men, and 130 women ; t0ta1,377. The patients are under the care of 24 male and 13 female attendants, in cluding cooks and laundresses. No patients were under restraint, and only two were ill in bed. Everything was very orderly, quiet andclean, and comparatively cheerful, owing toDrCremonini's excellentmanagement. He has had the grounds laid out beautifully and the building tastefully coloured, and has given to the place a home-like appearance. The patients, are numerously "employed as follows :—Males : 70 on farm work, 70 in the wards, 9 in the kitchen, 5 in the dining hall, and 2 tailoring. The females :34 in the wards, 23 in the laundry, 1 in the kitchen, and 18 sewing ; total, 232. The numbers employed speak volumes for Dr. Cremonini, the percentage being only one per cent less than the numbers emplo) r ed in all the borough and county asylums in England. The Lunacy Commissioners, in their last report, cited in the "Lancet" of 6th August, attach the very highest importance to the useful employment of the insane.

Dr. Cremonini now has to supervise the collecting of maintenance-money from tho relatives of tho insane, a work which for merly devolved on tho Relieving Ollicor. Considering that Dr. Cremonini has 377 patients, it is a pity he is occupied with such a multitude of minor duties winch pre vent him from practising scientific mental remedial treatment. The cure of the insane should bo a first consideration.

Daily Koutine.

It is gratifying to notice many proofs of tenderness and consideration towards the patients on tho part of Dr. Cremonini and his staff of male and female attendants. The whole time of the attendants is devoted to the welfare of the patients. If there is a class of ch'il servants deserving well of tho colony, it is the faithful nurses and attendants in our lunatic asylums, and I have often wished that some rich kind-hearted person would grant £50 for tho purchase of a little library for the attendants in our Whau Asylum, tlmt they might pass a pleasant hour when they are relieved from the constant mental strain of watching. The patients rise at six a.m. in the summer and half-past .six in the winter. They breakfast at eight, dine at one, and have tea at six p.m. Grace is said before meals, by which good custom the patients are reminded of One who never forgets even the most lonely, forsaken, and afflicted of His children. Some patients are never so happy as when they are busilyengagedat work, and otfiers are never so miserable as when they have to exert themselves in the slightest degree. In the evenings many of tho men play at draughts, cards, billiards, and read books or papers ; and tho women read, play tho piano, and look at picture books; all retiring at about nine o'clock. Then com mences the most dismal of all conceivable occupations for the night attendants, on whose watchfulness and devotion to duty depend the lives of patients and the safety of the Asylum. The extremely few acci dents happening at our Asylums speak volumes for the patience, vigilance, and constancy of tho attendants.

Nationalities.

Tho patients under their charge are of various ages and nationalities, ranging from children between 8 and 10 years to persons between 80 and 90 years. Between the ages of 30 and 80 years tho number ab tho Whau rise and fall as follows :—2O and 50 years, 42 patients ; 30 and 40 years, 86 patients ; 40 and 50 years, 112 patients ; 50 and 60 years, 74 patients; in the next decado they drop to 30, and in the next to 9. In the colony there are 111 JJew Zealanders ; 21 Australians ;■ 21 Maoris ; 21 Chinese ; 37 Germans ; 13 French ; '265 Scots ; 475 Irish ; 562 Eng lish ; and several "unknown." Amongst those admitted to the Asylums last year, 201 were single ; 134 married; and 34 widowed. Seventy-six patients died during that period, and 159 were cured. The great majority of our male lunatics are labourers and farmers; and of females, domestics.

Expense of Maintenance,

The total net actual expenditure in main tenance is £41,236 11s sd; but if we reckon 4J per cent, for interest on the quarter of a million of pounds sterling sunk in buildings and furniture, we get a total of £52,486 11s sd; or over £1,000 per week ! When the taxation of this colony is more oppressive - and the masses will never bestir themselves until they are squeezed thereby almost to death, people will read our blue Books with the aviuity with which they now devour ten penny novels, and learn why we spend so much on lunacy. The total cost per head after allowing for repayments by friends is £24 0s sfd, which is 4s 10d per head less than it was last year. In Auckland the provisions cost less than in any other part of the colony, and the average of salaries here in Auckland is £8 16s s£d as against £11 0s ll|d at Christchurch, £12 at Wel lington, £12 14s 6<ld at Nelson, and £14 16s 5Jd at Hokitika. Dr. Oemonini has effected many savings since he became Superintendent of our Asylum.and has now brought condemned bedsteads out of the cellar, painted them, and got them in use. In conclusion, I venture to bespeak from the public a sympathetic interest in our Asylum. Books, pictures, and papers are very much needed; and above all, a health ful public sentiment. Recent events have shown that when the public get out of touch with lunacy matters both lunatics and the public suffer. Some warders are -waiting trial for killing lunatics in a first-class asylum at New York ; France is extremely excited over the case of Baron Eaymoncl de SeillieVe, who has been run into an asylum like the two sane men at Wellington last year; and leading men in England are agitating for reform. Even though doctors and attendants are extremely humane and civil liberty is pretty secure, yot our best safeguard is an intelligent and sympathetic public opinion. The case of lunatics is almost hopeless. If they are negleoted or ill used the attendants dare not speak on

pain of instant dismissal, and iithe lunatics complain they are not believed. If ever the public cease to take an interest in our Lunatic Asylum, then let there be written over all their doors, " Abandon all hope,ye who enter here." F. O. Ewingtox.

AUCKLAND WOOLLEN- MILLS.

The Opening Ceremony.

The formal opening of the factory build ings and machinery at Onehunga takes place next Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, when all shareholders and the general public are welcome to make a personal inspection, and sec for themselves the manufacturing of wool from its raw state into tweed. Those of the public who have been favoured with a permit to visit the mills, speak in most glowing , terms Of the magnificent machinery at work and the general completeness of the factory. It is anticipated that the manager will be enabled to supply to each of the wholesale houses in the city the first instalment of their respective orders in about fourteen days. At present the orders in hand will keep the mill hard at work for three months — which orders have been tendered without seeking—and there appears no trouble in obtaining orders for six months run in advance. This is no doubt due to the extensive share list and the feeling of the general public in favour of supporting good sound local industries. With regard to the texture of the material already manufactured at this mill, it is said to be exceptionally good, and equal to any thing ever manufactured in the colony. The fact of tho establishment of this Com pany in our midst during a period when public companies have appeared to some disadvantage speaks volumes in favour of the public sympathy for this particular in dustry and the energy of the gentlemen of the directory who have pushed on its in auguration. We will touch further on the matter in a future issue, and in the meantime heartily welcome this asa most important industry to the people that not only live in the city of Auckland and who hereafter must look to it as a course of employment for their boys and girls, but also to the country farmers and others, and more especially to the Borough of Onehunga, which by the ad dition of other industrial factories there will yet see its green lanes changed to well formed streets and its present drowsy con dition to one of active prosperity.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRIGHAM'S CREEK.

At 2 p.m. yesterday an inquiry was held at (Jleeson's Hotel into the causes surround ing the death of William White, who was found dead on the 9th instant at Brigham's Creok. Dr. I'hilson olliciated as Coronor. A jury of six was empannclled. William Geddee deposed that lie was walk ing beside a blind creok that flows into Brighani's (.'reek vvhon he noticed a body floating in the water. He did not pull it out, bub noticed that the deceased was a man named White, who resided near and had beon missing; for about three weeks. He knew White, as ho resided in the settlement. White was a man about 55 years of age, and was a curpenter by trade. He had been gumdigging lately. Noble Johnston, storekeeper, Brigham'fl Creok, deposed that he last saw White alive on the 21sfc September. He was then in an intoxicated condition. Witness also saw him drunk the previous day at Riverhead. Sergeant Clarke deposed to receiving the body and bringing ib to the morgue, information of tho discovery o the body having been forwarded to him. The body waa much decomposed. The jury after a fow minutes consideration returned a verdict of " Found Drowned."

SIR JOHN RUSKIN'S ILLNESS.

A recent cable despatch from London stated that Mr J. Ruskin, the celebrated art critic and author, was seriously ill, but gave no particulars. It appears from advices dated 30th August that Mr Ruskin has developed active symptoms of insanity. For some time he has been anxiously watiched by his friends; and tho gravest fears were entertained. He became haunted with the Uea that attempts were being made to steal his property ; and under tho influence of this fear he made the whole of ib over to a rotative. Hβ was then seized with the dread that he was reduced to poverty, and fell into paroxysms of rage. He was quieted when given a number of sovereigns to play with. A special nurse was then engaged, but the unfortunate gentleman became worse, and was so furious that none of his friends dared to approach him. He has been placed in a private asylum.
