London, May 3.

At to-day's mooting of the Imperial Conference,' the discussion of trade Litems:W resumed, with the , view .dashing the commercial union of the different parts of tho Empire. It iS 'jepllj recognised that uniformity cltaii-i was impossible, but it is con sidered that a uniform differential duty W ainUN «r DiHon Bell pro posed that the privileges conceded to Canada to regulate commercial taxa tion with a foreign State should be extended tO tho Australasian colonies. The "proposal- however, was not ap proved of by the delegates, who con sidered that the precedent of Canada showed that such concessions did not tend to promote the unity of the Empire. ' '

Befeat of the Home Bulers.

[RB-UTEI-'s' telegram.]

London, May 3. Tn the House oi Commons last night, the Irish Crimes Bill came up for con sideration in committee of the whole. Mr Healy moved an amendment on the first clause. After a prolonged debate it became necessary for the clo ture to be applied, when the amend ment was rejected by a large majority, despite the support of Mr Gladstone and his followers. It is calculated that the discussion on the first clause of the bill will last fully three weeks, as notice has been given of countless amendments.

THE VOLUNTEER TROUBLES.

TJic Auckland liiqmEs J'

(Fkom Our Owjt Reported.] J.*> v ■ *. ' " 4, ■*.' Wellington, this day.'

I am now in possession of evidence taken afc. tho recent inquiry held into tho charges preferred by Licub. -Colonel Mahon against Capt. McDonald and Lieuts. Mattolli and

Palmer. Ifc proves that the accounts of fche proceedings published in your columns ab the time wero very accurate. None of the evidence taken has y.fc been published, and, seeing fche amount of public interest shown in the caso, 1 send you a short abstract. Tho legal points raised havo al ready boen published, and do nob call for repetition.

Major Tonks was the first witness, and deposed thab on the 15th March the Pon sonby Rillcs and the officers were conspicu ous by their absence from parade, although Lieut.-Colonel Mahon had issued an order to the effect thafc everyone must attend at once. Afc 7.30 p.m. that day Lieut.-Colonel Mahon asked witness if he had heard Capt. McDonald making any remarks about him ; and fche Board ruled, on Capfc. McDonald's objection, that they could not receive any evidence which did not directly relate to the charges against them. . *_. Adjutant Houghton, Captain Robertson, and Captain White proved the absence of Captain McDonald and the Ponsonby Rifles from parade, but this had previously been admitted.

Colour-Sergeant Barron was examined at great length. He said ho was present at the meeting of the corps afc which Gap tain .McDonald presided; and at which the lieu tcnan Is were also present. The strength of tho Company at that date was 45. lie did not hear Captain McDonald make any remarks respecting Lieut.-Colonel Mahon's drill. Witness was then examined respect ing what Capt. McDonald had said, bub declared that when his resignation wa.s sub mitted ho left the room. He did not hear Capt. McDonald suggesting that the Com pany should resign in v body, and was puzz ed how the report of the meeting got into the papers. He had 45 stand of arms in a safe place in the Bonded Store, but had never taken them to fche armoury to hand them in.

Sergt. Searoll deposed that Capt. Mc- Donald told him to send in his arms, bub he had left them in Wellington. He had worked up witnesses for the prosecution, Licut.-Col. Mahon had net appoitt d him captain of the Ponsonbv Ililics. He was to be made a captain if he passed his examina tion, but did not know Lieut.-Col. Mahon was one of the examiners. The only rca .-•on for his zeal in the matter was that he thought it a pity that such a fine company a., the Ponsonby RiHes should bo disbanded.

Tlio evidence up to this Btago failed to prove any charge, and Lieut.-Col. Mahon an| lied for leavo to call further evidence. His right to do so *.vas cl._illenj_;ecl, hut the Board decided in his favour. Tlio inquiry was adjourned till Tuesday of tho follow ing weolc, when Private Alf. McCarthy was called. ITo was about to state what Cap tain McDonald had stated, what was said at tho meeting, wlion Captain McDonald ob jected to any evidence being* given that did not appear in the chargcs,'aiid quoted the Queen's Regulations to show that the pre cise nature of the language used must bo stated in the charge. j Lieut.-Col. Mahon said lib would 'have to lay fresh charges against Captain Donald if fie was not allowed, to prove the chargo in his own way. The Board upheld Captain McDonald's contention that witness could not be exam ined unless ho could speak to some specific language in the charge. Private McCarthy was then called, and asserted that there wore reporters present at the meeting, but left beforo it started. Lieut. Palmor was taking notes, and Capt. McDonald put a resolution to the meeting with regard to the disband ment. Capt. McDonald"told him to hand in his arms,as the Company had disbanded. He (McCarthy) voted for disbandment on account o£ the small attendance at drill, lb was not through any action of Lieut.- Col. Mahon that so few were at drill. He signed a paper at tho meotine, bub Capt. McDonald did nob a?k him to do it. Scrgt. Scared did nob promise to pay him if ho gave evidence at tho inquiry. He did get liquor on the first day he was there. Scigt. Soarell shouted, Mr Whyte shouted, and" witness shouted. He did not drink with Lieut.-Col. Mahon, or ask him what he was jroing to say. For the defence, Lieut. Palmer and Col. Lyon wero examined. Colonel Lyon, reply ino* to Lieut.-Colonel Mahon, denied having said,to Captain McDonald in the Militia Oflice that his conduct ought to be con strued into mutiny, but did tell him so in a private conversation one afternoon. This practically concluded the evidence. You have already pu hi if hod the decision of the Board, tha. the charges hud not been proved.

The Counter Charges

Major-General Whitmore informs me that the position of the counter-charges laid by Captain McDonald against Lieut.-Col. Mahon is this : Colonel Lyon has been instructed to inquire into the matters at is&ue, and see if there is anything to go upon, ancl if there is, he is to report to Wellington, when a Board will be ap pointed. This coarse is adopted in the in terests of economy, and becuu&o the recent inquiry into tho charges against Captain McDonald came to nothing.
