OPERA HOUSE- "JIM THE PENMAN."

"Tibs fine dama was repeated at the Opera House last night to a large audit nee, amongst those present being Rear-Admiral do St. Hilaire, of the frigate Duquosne, accompanied by one of his officers, atd by the French Consul (Mr D. B. Cruickshank). Ab wo were debarred yesterday by pressure of mail matter from criticising the play, we now take the opportunity oi doing so. The plot we need not advert to, for it was pretty correctly outlined in the introductory sketch which appeared in Monday's issue. It will therefore suffice to remark thut the play is modelled very much upon the aamo lines as Miss Florence Warden's clever hovel of "The House upon the Marsh." That is as to its central idea, tbo only dif ference in this respect being that the fair novelist depicts the character and traces the fortunes of a gentlemanly burglar, while the playwright deals with the career of a suc cessful forger, moving in riret-class society, and keeping the knowledge of his criminal enterprises for more than twenty years safely screened from even his wife and children. In both instances, however, th'o terrible ecldircisserficnt arrives at last, bring ing with it the denouement of the ttory. The resemblance between novel and play, however, is merely adventitious. There is no ground whatever for the supposition that each work ia not thoroughly independent of the other. In fact, the similarity between them is merely superficial, for their in cidents are entirely distinct. As we pre dicted,the play displays to singular advan tage the histrionic strength and resources of the Company, and convincingly proves that their/o?-?e is serious drama. For com pleteness of impersonation and graphic force of individualisation we must assign the foremost place to Miss Agnes Thomas, who enacts with ability of a very high order indeed the part of Mrs Halston, wife of Jim, the Penman. It is really a wonder fully fine study. Mies Thuunas ha*, as it were, infused her own personality into the role, and in neither speech nor action is there aught to suggest the mere simula tion of a part, or to betray the faint est approach to self consciousness. Kvory look, every movement of tho body, and every inflection of the voice seems to be in perfect keeping with the part, and to havo its purpose in the delineation of it. The working of her mind from tho first pre sentiment of evil, with its accompanying rnfstrust of the psoudo Barou, through her concern for her husband's evident ill health to her first definite suspicions con cerning him, and thence up to the full dis closure of the shameful truth, could be clearly traced, and its fidelity to nature perceived. The actress was at her beet in the third and fourth acts, wherein to her horror she finds that her husband had, in order to gain her hand, perfidiously forged letters to herself and her early lover— wherein, too, with in tense scorn and contempt eho reproaches him with his crime, and finally, with unutterable loathing and in dignation, taxes him with hia identity with the notorious Jim, the Penman. There situations are most powerful, and sufficiently attest the great talents of the lady. The impersonation of the title role by Mr G. S. Titheradge, and that of his associate in crime, the pretended Baron Hortfold, by Mr G. W. Anson, as finished portraitures stand on the same high level, and along with Miss Thomas's role and Mr Maltby's delineation of the detective, Copt. Red wood, sustain almost entirely the interest and success of the drama. Mr Titheradge plays his part with a nice discrimination of its dual character, viz., that of the wealthy and honourable city man, and its more sombre side of the successful forger, physically worn out and with mind almost distraught by tho constant fear of detection arising from compuUory partic pation in fresh crimes. The development of this lole to its tragic close is an artistic study and a histrionic triumph. Mr Anson poaeeasea great force of individualieation, as those who have seen him in " The Magistrate " and also in the present drama will admit. He plays the wily German Baron to perfection. In ac cent and characteristic gesture one would euppose him " native, and to the manner born," while in all the situations where in he plays a part he misses not a single point. Mr Maltby, who made his debut in Auckland for the first time on Monday night, produced an impression of a decidedly favourable character. His role partakes in some measure of low comedy, and this element he elaborated very quietly to ite utmost effect, besides presenting a stageportrait of graphic force. The four principals were loudly applauded, and in the course of the performance they were honoured with several calls before the curtain. We have not space to deal separ ately with each of the other roles, but it may be said that they were faith fully sustained, and that Mr Cates's Louis Percival, Mr Calvert's Dr. Pettywise, Miss Fischer's Agnes Ralston, and Miss Taylor's Lady Dunacombe were particularly good. "Jim, the Penman," will be performed again this evening.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Ward.)

BIRKENHEAD IIOAD DISTRICT V. WalTE mata County Council.—Motion for writ of injunction to restrain the dissolution of the Birkenhead Road Board and the creation of o road board district at Greenhithor. —Mr Theo. Cooper appeared in support of the motion, and Mr Hugh Campbell for the Council.—The contention of the plain tiff was, that as the special order was made upon a petition signed by less than a statutory majority of ratepayers, it was ultra vires. Hia Honor signified that his opinion waa decidedly in plaintiffs favour, and therefore by consent) the special order of the Council in respect of which the proceedings had arisen was quashed, with costs £7 7s and costs out of pocket. Auckland Gas Company (Limited) v. Official Assignee in Bankruptcy and thb Property of Frederick Woolridge Revell.—Argument of special case. Mr C. E.

Mr Button explained that the action was brought to recover possession of a gas engine valued at £70, and which was in the possession of the bankrupt Revell at the time of his bankruptcy.undor an agreement. The defendant claims that the gas engine was in the order' and disposition of the bankrupt, while thepHintiff Company maio tnins that the engine comes within the mean ing of the 16th section of " The Auckland Gas Company's Act, 1871." After argument-, Hia Honor then found for the plaintiff, with costs on lowest scale.

THE WOOLLEN COMPANY'S CASE.

Decision in Favour of ihc

Conipany,

His Honob H. G. Bbtu SMITH gave judg ment to day jn the case of the North New Zealand Woollen Manufacturing Comoany (Limited) v. Styak. The case has been fully reported in the columns of the Stab, and the following resume of tho judgment will be found to give the es sential parts thereof. His Honor, after running through the evidence, said that Lord Cairns held " that in those cases where the memorandum of association goes beyond the prospectus, and where, therefore, it is in the power of the applicant forebareß either to decline to accede to the memorandum or to agree to such enlarged memorandum, then even if there has not been a memo randum in existence at the time when he applies for hia shares, it is his bounden .duty, at the earliest possible moment, to ascertain what ia the charter or title deed under which the company in which he has agreed to become a share holder is carrying on business. If the memorandum and articles of association are in existence when ho applies for shares, and if he agrees to take shares on the foot ing Of the memorandum and articles, then I think he ought to be held botind to look to the memorandum and articles before he applies for the shares. But where tho articles and memorandum are not in existence at the time of applica tion, I think that, at ths latest, when ho receives his allotment of shares he ought to satisfy himself that there is nothing in them to which he dosires to make objection." His Honor also quoted Lord Chelmsford, Who thought that persons who have taken up shares in a company are bound to make themselves acquainted with the memorandum of association, which is the basis upon which the company ia estab lished. If they fail to do so, and tho objects of the company are extended beyond those described in the prospectus (a fact which may be easily ascertained), then, having taken shares on the faith of tho prospectus, ought to be held to be bound by the acquierierium. A number of other casoß were quoted, amongßt them ships and stewards' cases—L. K. (2) H. L. at page Sol—in confirmation of the above. Lord Crunworthe's decision in L.11,,3 H.L., 343, was also quoted to the effect that a person who takes shares on tho faith of a prospectus, which is materially altered sub sequently by the memorandum T>f associa tion, must claim oxemption from that causo within a reasonable time, or otherwise be debarred from doing bo. In this case His Honor thought that the period from September 1886 to January ISS7 far exceeded the limits which could be considered reasonable, and the defendant should have made application for exemp tion, if he wished to repudiate his liability on the grounds filed by the defonce. Turn ing to the question of fraud, Bis Honor found he must accept Mr Styak'a statement as cor rect that at the time Mr Bennett obtained from him the application for shares, Mr Bennett said that 50,000 shares had been taken up, all except 5,000 reserved for the Thames. This rested upon Mr Styak's un corroborated ovidence, and had Mr Bennett straightforwardly contradicted it, His Honor would have folt bound to hold that the statement had not been proved. If Mr Bennett did make that assertion, all ths elements that so to make up a fraudulent representation wero present in this case. His assertion was falee ; 45,000 shares had not been taken up, although 5,000 had been reserved for the Thimes. Mr Bennett must have known it to be falro, ment which would largely influence tho mind of the defendant in purchasing the shares. His Honor, notwithstanding this, held that if Mr Styak bad withdrawn his application at an early date he might successfully have done so, and bad he wished to have done bo on the groand of fraud he should have done co at once. His Honor assumod for the purposes of this case that the fraud of Mr Bennett before the Company was formed would affect the Company after its formation, and also that the verbal statement to Mr Purchas would, if made in due time, have been a sufficient repudiation. He did not think ths repudiation was made within reasonable time. It seemed to him, thorefore, that thetwogroundsof affirmative defence have not been sustained, and the plainti&V case haviDg been made out he gave judgment for tbo plaintiffs foi £17 10a and costs.

VOLUNTEER TROUBLES.

Sitting of the Board of In

<iuiry.

The board of inquiry appointed to deal with the troubles in connection with Xo. 3 Battalion of Rifle Volunteers held their first sitting at the Drill sited this moraine. Cap tain Commandant La Kay was president, and tbo other members of the Board were Major Hamlin, of Waiuku, and Captain Morrison.of the Permanent Artillery. There wore also present, Col. Lyon, commanding the district, and Lieut. Col. Shepherd, District Adjutant. The Board eat at 10 30, and according to the regulations took an oath not to reveal their vote or opinions to any person whomsoever. It was stated that the Court was constituted to enquire into the charges preferred by Lieut-Col. Mahon against Captain McDonald, Lieuts. Martelli and Palmer, of thePosonby Rifles. The whole of the witnesses were then called into the court room, and also Lieut- Col. Mahon, and the officers against whom the charges are made. There were five charges preferred against Captain Mc- Donald, but none of them is of a serious nature. The firet is that of pre siding at a meeting at which a resolu tion waa passed reflecting on the Defence Office. The second ia that contrary to section 174 of the Regulations he put to the meeting the resolution in question. Thirdly, he is charged with calling in the arms of the company without the authority of the Defence Department. Fourthly, with allowing a report of the meeting at which the resolution objected to was adopted to appeaT in the newspapers. The fifth charge ia that of being aoaent from battalion parades without permission. There are two charges againat Lieutenant Palmer, the more serious being that of proposing a resolution reflecting on the Defence Department.and thereby arous ing a spirit of insubordination, while the other is one of being absent from battalion parade without permission. Against Lieu tenant Martelli there are the charges of including in hia resignation a protest against the action of the Defence depart ment, end being absent from battalion parade without permission. When the charges were read, Lieut. Palmer proceeded to raise the objection that the Volunteer Act of last session had swept away all battalions and that they could not exist as such until they had been re-Gazetted. Captain Com mandant Le Koy, however, refused to accept the objection. Lieutenants Palmer and Martelli were relieved from attendance till tomorrow, as the Court intended to take the charges againet Captain Mc- Donald first. The witnesses were ordered out of the room, and the Board proceeded to taite down the evi dence. Amongst the witnesses to ho examined are Major Tonks, Adjutant Hou ton, Captains Payne, Robertson Hazard, and White, Sergeant Major Barron, and Sergt. Searell. The enquiry was proceeding during the forenoon and was continued in the afternoon, but the preaa were denied admittance). When the present charges are disposed of, the Board have also to en quire into charges preferred by Captain Mc- Donald and Lieutenant Martelli against Lieut. Col. Mahon, and the now famous "masquerade" will then be brought forward as well as a charge of furnishing official correspondence accompanying the resignations to the newßpapeia.

ADVICE TO THE PREMIER.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Dunbdin, this day. The " Star," referring to the Premier's pro poßed address to his constituents, says :— "We trust he will not consider it incum bent to deiend the Government by giving the details of the Bills, good or bad, that Ministers have contrivsd to paae. That is a task which, if it must be done at all, may well be remitted to some of the leeeer lights of the Cabinet. If Sir Robert really wishes to contribute to that political education he bo constantly urges* on the people, his best plan, nest _ to that clear and lofty example in action which we have ceased to expect from him, is to elevate* his tone, cease carping at opponents of the past or present, and give fuller infor mation as to the position and prospects of the colony."

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.

bu Tuesday evening a lecture was delivered to the non-commissioned officers of No. 2 Battalion by Sergeant Soall, of the City Guards, the subject being "Judging Dis tance Practice j Its Importance, and How to Find it." Tho Ucturor oommonoed by illustrating in an unmistakable manner upon a mechanical trajectory (an invention of his own) how the beet shots would be use less in the fiold if unablo to find thoir dis tance from their enemies. He then fully ex plained the difficulties attendant upon the Imperial system, tor which Volunteers neither have, can, or will afford tho time, showing how this haß beon the cause of the most important part of musketry being ignored. Ho then illustrated upon tho diagram of a dark target (tho uee of which he proposed sixteen years back) that a rifleman is independent of a know ledge of distances up to 280 yards, and then went oil to show how the difficulties hitherto attendant upon judging distance might be surmounted by mechanical means, exhibiting and explaining the use of hia proposed rango finder, which ho offered as an incentive for the dis covery of a better, showing how by his proposed plan Judging Distance Matches could be fairly carried out, and be mede as interesting as rifle matcheß are. He sug gested that in all contests for considerable prizes a shooting match should be carried out as at present ; and a Judging Distance match should be combined with it, the points made in both matches to be added together os the competitors score ; showing bow ono man might make the most points on tho target, yet be defeated by another making tho most points at judging distance, the latter proving the best man for the field. Tho lecturer con cluded by regretting the conservatism of tho military profession, stating his be lief from observation of facts that there is no finality in tho soldiors' busi ness more than in any other, and that the nation which advances tho most rapidly on tho march of improvement with tho means of destruction, and possesses the most feasible system of torching tbeir uso, will always havo an advantage ovor another. The lecture was listened to with groat attention throughout, and will doubtless causo more'interest to be taken in this most important part of a rifleman's education. At its conclusion a unanimous vote of thanks was accorded to the locturor for his lucid explanation of the subject,

CHORAL HALL.-"Stabat Mater,"

The Choral Society gavo last night thoir soconil concert of the present scilsoil, and at tight o'clock the hall presented its usual congested appearance. A number of tho officers of the French warship Duquesne More present, anil expressed themselves highly pleased with tho entertainment. Tho programme presented was of singular composition, tho Hrst part consisting of Rossini's "Slabat Muter" uud tho suooiul part being a kind of medley made-up as it \m of madrigals and glees, Intorsporscd with orchestral selections. No apology is needed for tho introduction of Rossini's beautiful hymn, although the solo music ia rather beyond tho capacity of our amateur yoe.-ilists, but tho object to bo gained by tho inclusion of such antique works as the madrl gals seems rather obscure. They may haVo een selected on account of thoir archaeological intcreet, but they arc hardly suited for tho pur poses of tho Choral Society. Even on the hypothesis we hacv suggested tho selection ia nionplaco madrigal ascribed to i'ulcatriiui gai'ded as a fair example of tho stylo or merits of that very early composer whose fame justly rests upon his church music. At any rato, if wcaro to be treated to tho earliest pieces of modern musical composition, they but should be arranged in regular chronologlcu, sequence, produced at regular intervals, and should also bo of representative character. The performances will then ho of educational value inasmuch as they would convey a fairly accurate idea of tho gradual growth and elab oration of tho divino art up to its present devel opment. As the' Conunitteo and not tho Con ductor are responsible for tho selection of works for performance, we commend the suggestion to their notice.

Last night tho llrst point Unit arrested tho attention of tho regular frequenters of tho Society's concerts wits tho marked diminution in vocul strength and tho disarrangement of tho harmonic volumo which tho withdrawal of tho Ponsonby contingent lius causnd. There wore present 13 sopranos, 27 altos, 17 tenors, and SO basses, as against a powerful orchestra of 32 instruments. It follows that tho instrumentation exercised too ffrctlt n predominance over tho chorus, whose divisions wcro also unequal, and especially tho male portion. The tenors were weakest out tho strength of tho basses had Buf fered tho greatest numerical reduction. In tho " Slabet Mater" tho solos wore allotted to Miss Blcazard (ilrst soprano), Miss Uorbott (second soprano), Sir George Roid (tenor), und Mr A. Taylor (bass), but for somo reason the only solo number assigned in the work to tho second treble, viz., tho cavatina " Fac ul I'or tem" was excised. Misa Blcazard proved tho most successful of the soloists, and her render ing of tho solo part of the *' Intlammatus," to gether with the beautiful duot "Quis est Homo," us sung by herself and Miss Corbett, were the vocal gems of the concert. In the " Inflnimnu tus," ltorid and dilllcult as it is, the great flexibility of Miss Bleazard's voice was displayed to signal udvantago and tho accuracy of ne'r reading was also maninfest. In this however, as in all the other solo portions of tho work, tho orchestra very severely handi capped the singers by playing too forte, tho wind instruments being especially culpable in this respect. In the duot already referred to the voices of the two Jadios chorded well, and they both sang with tasto and judgment. They ulso took their parts witii decided etloct in the lovely quartette. "Sancta Mator." Mr Goo. Reid made his debut on this occasion as a tenor vocalist and showed himself to be possess ed of a voice of nico anil oven quality and of moderate compass. The very ornate music of his part was, however, rather beyond his capa bilities, more especially as his voice was affected by a cold with slight hoarseness. His range was not equal to the "(Jujus Animam" and as a consequeuco sonic of tho higher notes had to bo omitted and tho conciiid ing cadenza scamped. Within his com pass he sang very pleasingly indeed, but the orchestra seemed to be intent upon drowning his voice. Mr Reid's best effort was his solo in tho "Suncta Mater" which he rendered very feelingly. Mr Taylor sang with his usual caro and precision, but his voice was neiiher heavy nor sonorous enough to do full justice to that magnificent number tho ' Pro 1 cccfltis1* .He was more successful in the reciiatlve " Eia Mater," and in fact in all the concerted music he took his part Svith great ability and skill. As for the choral numbers of the work, tho best rendered were the " Eia Mater" and "In Sempi terna," which were really admirably done. Tho introductory chorus was marred by weak attack and irresolution on the part of tenors and basses, and by deficient expression. Mr! Charles Henius led tho the orchestra with his well-known ability, and Hcrr Carl Schmitt wielded tho conductor's baton with decision and unfailing good judgment. As for tho miscellaneous selections of the second part, they may be dismissed in a few lines. 'Phe orchestral contributions were, tlic overture to Gounod's " Mock Doctor," and the scherzo and intermezzo from Mendelssohn's "Mid summer Night's Drtam." They have been produced before, and on this occ asion were executed very tastefully. Of tlio three madrigals, and the one glco presented the bestrendered, was tho madrigal" SwcetFlowers yo were too faire" (Walmisley), while the prettiest ofthecollection, viz.,|theglee, " When winds breathe soft,' was to some extent marred by the uncertainty and weakness of tho maie voices Handel's "Samson" will now bo at once put in rehearsal for the noxt concert.

THE GOVERNOR'S SALARY.

A Wellington Flea for Ex

mwagauce,

(BY TELEGRAM!-OWN CORRESPONDENT,)

Wellington, this day. The " Evening Post," alluding to the pro posal of the Auckland Sl'ar, that the Governor's salary Bhould bo reduced, Bays: —"We cannot imagine a more unwise proposal in the direction of retrenchment. To make it would be to advertise ourselves throughout the Empire as a poverr.y-eticken community, and to lower our status in tho ranks of the colonies. The Governor receives £7,500 a year, out of which he has to maintain the Government House establishment, pay his owd and his stuff's travelling expenses when absont from Wellington, pay i'3oo a yoar to tho clerk of tho Executive Council, maintain a messenger at £150 a-year, and pay tho salaries of his private secretary and one or more A.DC. 'a. Wo very much doubt whether the salary which His Excel lency draws from the colonial cheat leaves any margin after meeting the various claims upon it. To curtail the salary would bo to place any Governor in a most unpleasant position. Ho would either have to expend his private means or incur the stigma of lheanness—a reproach which would react injuriously on the Colony. The salary of tho Govornor should be suffi cient to enable him to maintain a liberal but not lavish hospitalityitokeep up tho position of the first gentleman in the colonVj and to set a good social examplo to tho com munity. The prosent salary is not more than sudiciont to provide for the discharge of these duties, and our prosent Governor shows an excollcnt example of bow they can be poriormed iv a graceful and unpretending manner. ■To compare the expenditure required officially from a Premier, a Minister, a Chief Justice or a Judgo with that demanded from a Govornor of the colony is absurd. It should aleo bo remembered that all those functionaries draw travelling exponses on a liberal ecalo, and have private secre taries, messengore, etc., paid for them, while tho Governor's so • called falary of .€7,500 includes everything. It will be a bad day for the colony when it advorti»es its poverty and abandons its claim to rank as a tirst-class colony for the pake of saving a few hundrods a year by reducing tho salary of its Governor to tho third or fourth rate scalo."
