The attendance roll shows a marked irregularity in attendance, which must tend to retard tho general pi-ogress ot the school, and the examiners would suggest to the committee the necessity ot taking steps to remedy this state of afuiirs without dclnv. as they are confident that the welfare of the school is immediately connected with it. A proper classification ot the scholars is much needed, but owing to tho scarcity of teachers, it is difficult to keep the classes at anything like defined standards.

BALTIC PINE V. KAURI.

The Architect Makes a Condi tiopal OlJer.

A PErUTATtosr consisting of Messrs Charloa

Rhodes (President of tho Buildars' Associa tion), H. Erabazon, C. Julian, J. J. Hoi" land, Ellingham (local builders), Herbort (Now Zealand Timbor Company) and R, M-mk (M.H.R. for VVaitemata).waited upon Mr Thomas Mahonoy (architect) at 10 o'clock this morning to urge upon him tho desirability of altoriog the upecifications for tho new Custom houso 60 that kauri migh* bo usod for the doors and sashes in liou of Baltic pine, aa at present spociliod.

Mr Charles Rhodes brielly explained tho object of tho deputation. He Raid that thero soemed to be a fooling of aggrievotneUt that Baltic or Oregon pine should be speci fied for the Custom houeo sashes and doors, and they simply wanted to know tho roaeon why those timbers had been specified. Tho thing had been taken up very hurriedly, and no complaint was miido, although somo folt it to be a yriov anco that imported timber should bo singled out for certain work for which there was plenty of local timber to bo utilised at les3 cost, and v.'ith greater bene fit to the country. Ho therofore requested Mr Mahonoy to. stato tlio. reasons which had induced him to specify the foreign article.

Mr Mahonoy, in reply, said that ho was only too pleased to givo an explanation of the reason why ho had spocilied Baltic tim ber in the Custom houso contract. A3 most of them Knew, kauri was no doubt an e.*:cellont tinibor when well and properly seasoned ; but tho fact was that thin timber was usually supplied from tho Auckland mills in a totally unsoasoned state (Hear, hear), and in Uicit state was quito unfit to bo used whoro it would be much ex pofcd to tho eun. Thie was so well - known to be tho caso that some yeara back a dis pute arose between tho architects and buildore as to conditions of contract con corning responsibility for shrinkoßo- of timber. The builders on that occaoion positively declined to bo held responsible for shrinkage when kauri wns ueod, and tho roaeon given by thorn was that tho mills suppliod thie tim ber in an unseasoned state, and that as buildings here were put up rather hur riedly, tho contractors woro not oblo to season it themeelven. Tho consequence of it beiDg supplied in an unseasoned state was that it shrinks and warps when used in exposed situations. For sashes especially it had. proved a Borneo of great incon venience, for after being expired for a time the eaehos ewetled,..and the windows would not ojien, and then when made freo ngain the cashes became too ■ loose and rattled in tliuir frames with evory wind, or eleo ad mitted draughts. As a superior class of Morkmanehip was required for tho Custom hou«e, it was therofore thought nocessary —more especially as the builders refused to be held roaponsiblo for shrinkage of timber —to specify somo material tbat-vfould ntand the eun, and Baltic pine waaj chosen, it being at least seasoned whon it arrive? hero, and not subject to warpage It v.-ns thero fore determined to use it for sashos and outer doors, but to use kauri for the-rest of tho work. Tho Baltic timber woe thoro foie to be used only for work on exposed situations, lie had no objection to uho kauri timber, and, iv fact, he would bo quite Willing to do no, provided the buildors would take tho responsibility for any shrinkage or warpago, and would replace any dofecte. Upon tbie condition ho should bo only too pleased to substitute kauri lor Baltic pine—and to forward any local in dustry that he could—but ho was fully do tetinined that it should bo dono with an im proved dies of workmanship to what wns usually carried on here. (Hoar, heir.) Mr Khodos wished to mention one point further. Contracts wore done too hurriedly in this city to be good work. They woro all agreod as to this. Mr Mahonoy would admit that fifteen months was not sulliciont time for a, lirst-clase job liko the ono in question. (Hoar, hear.) It would tako two months alone to put in tlio foundations, and if bad weither supervoued it would take from 4 too" months, as the ground was bad. It would be wise, thorefone, to oxtond tho contract time by three months. Ihon thero wore the brickwork and walls, and a con siderable amount cf plastering had to be done, and kauri or uny othor kind of timber that might be put in would not stand the reek ing damp or steaming that would be euro to ensue. This work, to bo good, required a longer time for its completion. I.)id Mr Mahonoy not think, thon.that if the archi tects combined they could not agree to allow contractors a longer time in order to secure better work and to allow of opportunity for the seasoning of tho timbor to bo used? Timber required to be seasoned for two years in order that it should give satisfaction. Mr Manoney thought that as a rule tlioro was, perhaps, rather little time given for jobs here, aud in the case of tho Custom ■ houso *Q should ba quito willing to extend the contract by—say three months —if the builders deemed it now too short. But many of tho reasons advanced by Mr Rhodes would not affect tho shrinkage of the timber-for instance, the piittipg in of the foundations and the building of the brickwork: did not afford sufficient time for the seasoning of the joinery. It must be eoa?oned beforehand. Mr Rhodes pointed out that joiners , work and the plastering required to be put in to gether. Mr Mahoney did notsee that a few months longer or shorter in the progress of the con tract would be of much moment if tho timber put in were not properly seasoned. Mr Rhodes replied that at any rate the putting in of joinery coincidently with the plastering put tho timber to an unnecea earily severe test. Mr Herbert endorsed this statement, and cave an illustration of its force. His com pany supplied tho materials for the Freo Library and Art Grtllery. The joinery work put in there, and of which so much com plaint had been made, had not received anything like fair treatment. The doors and sashes were made about 11, and cer tainly 9 montha bofore being supplied, and therefore the timber in them was fairly seasoned, and yet those materials woro put in the building when the water was positively running down the walls, lhat building should havo beon dry for at least three months longer bofore those materials wore used. As it was, the last coat of plaster bad not bseii applied before tho doors were hung. He asked them was it tair .to our magnificent timber that it should be treated in this manner (No, no). Tho shrinkage with which the kauri was chargod might be no fault cither of tho timber or tho workmanship, but rather the fault of tho job being pushed through with ridiculous haeto. Ibis point was second only in importance to that of tho necessity for the timber being seasoned before being put in. Mr Monk felt to a certain extent vory glud that the matter had boon takou up in the way it had boon. He wished it had been so taken up sotue two or three years earlier, for then some justice might by this time have been shown towards our kauri, which he boldly declared to be superior toanyothortimber in the world whon treated aa ordinary European timbers were. In Europe and America Government super vision was exercised to prevent trees being ringed or cut down except at the proper seasons, and a penalty wae exacted for any infringement of this wise regulation. Even the great Napoleon did not regard this as a matter beneath bis notice. If, then, the authorities here would but determine that only a certain class of kauri, properly prepared and seasoned, should be used in future jobs Tnoso who supplied and ueed tho timber would bo obliged to study these conditions, and thus treat the kauri as it ehould bo treated. He sug gested that ths architects should make a representation to the Government on the subject. A very great deal depended upon the time when the kauri tree was felled. Fo had known of veeeels being built with green timber, and having the dry rot in 12 months. A pair of gates made out of heart of kauri for the Supremo Court here had to be redaced after five years The reason was that the rules of forestry had been violated. On the other hand, he could point to the Wei-leyan pareonage at One hunga, and buildings at Hokianga, all built in his infancy-50 yeara ago-and which were now in a perfect state of preser vation. He bad no hoiitotioo in saving from long experience and searching experiments that kauii was superior to any known timber in tbe world, for lerjgtb of fibre without knots, quality, and closeness of grain, and great durability, but then it must be cut properly and not carelessly Its abuFe should therefore be prohibited. Mr Mahoney said that as far aa the Cus tom-house specifications were concerned, that matter could be easily settled in a very few minutes. He was quite willingtospecify the use of kauri timber in lieu of Baltic, pro vided the builders would undertaketoput in Qeasoried timber. He was also willing to extend the contract time by three months if it was considered desirable to have that concession, but it must ba clearly under stood that the contractor would bo responsible for any shrinkage of tim ber. If the builder? present on behalf of the others in the trade would accept

these conditions, ho should alter tho apociti cations as desired.

Mr Julian said thoy could not do that without the authority of the other builders.

In answer to another remark Mr Mahoney 1 said that ho was satisfied that all joinery work must bo six months in frame bofoid I being put into the contracted work. He agreed also that such work should Dot be put in until the contract hafl been pretty well advanced. If the condi tion he had proposed were accepted, a special clause would bo inserted in the contract conditions making the contractor responsible for shrinkago and warpago. Of course he was responsible in any case for defeo'ivo materials in any part of tho con tract. He thought it desirable that thero ehould bo Government survoillanco ovor the cutting of timbor, nnd it was n matter that tho Institute of Architects might wall toks up aud consider. Mr Julian hopod Mr Mahonoy would not think they had come to censure him as tho papers had made out. Their object was rather to compliment him for having speci fied Baltio timber, as good would result from it.

Mr Mahohoy replied that his object wan to boneiit tlio building trade generally by getting a good class of work. Some discussion ensued, principally botweon Messrs Brabnaon and Herbert as to tho desirability of the mills classify ing thoir timber according to ago and seasoning. Mr llorbort said the milla might do this, but thoy could not tako any responsibility. Tho buyer, as horetoforo, would have to uso his own judgment in selecting his timber. Afttir tiventy-four ycnra' experience, he pinned his faith, like Mr Monlr, to kauri, but it must be properly dut: On bohalf of his Company ho would gUarantco that if they Supplied any dofoctivo etlles they (votild rejilaco tholh at their own dost; Mr Rhodos thankod Mr Mahoney for hia courtesy, and as urgoncy was needed to settle this matter of tho specification, ho promised that an answor should bo given tomorrow to tho offer mado by Mr Mahoney. The deputation then withdrew. It will be toon by advertisement ohowhoro that a.apocial mooting of tho Buildors' As sociation is summoned fori! p.m. tomorrow, to consider Mr Mnhonoy'e conditional oll'or re alteration of specifications,

At noon on the 18th the liorso insured was alive anil not known to he injured. No premium for renewal was paid or tendered cither before or after that time. The horse was subsequently found with its leg broken. From the appearance, of the injury ns described in Hip evidence, the lurv have found as a tact that the injury wan sustained before noon on the liith.Way, ISSU. The injury rendered tbu animal valueless. Did not consider the Hading of the jury ought to bo disturbed so far. One view of (he ease may be put shortly in this way. Jhe insurance was against loss by death. The policy !; m.re, nl that iiioiiieiUlhohurse.insiired mis .-till alive. Knio, tlicro was no loss by death during the ciiri-cncv of tin- I'olii y. and consequently no lia bility incurred by the defendant. But the horse insured had received its death wound bc.foro Unit. time. If the analogy of insurance upon human life were to govern tbts ease that tact, would ho immaterial: vide Lockyer y. OMley. 1 T. H. There is, however, one respect in whicn the iiniilogy fails to contract of life insurance is not one indomnlty but it contract to pay a cerlain sum if a certain event happens.—the death of the assured. If the policy expire and the assured bo still alive, although inortknln mni'tis the condition has not been fullljled and his subsequent deiilh cannot render the insurers liable. The analogy of marine insurance is closer than life, insurance. His Honor then quoted the case of Moreton v. Dunlop, also that o£ Knight v. Faith, where a slap having received sundry damages whilst, under a policy which resulted In his loss after ttie currency had vuu out. After several of the authorities had been quoted, lib Honour continued that the principle to be de rived from those cases seems to bo that where partial loss has been sustained, during tbo is not i-emt ved by tbe fact of the partial loss becoming a total loss after the expiration of the policy. The principle then applied to the present seems to mo to militate strongly against the plaintiff's posilion. Here the total loss in the death of the animal, but the policy is ami.list the loss by death, and therefore .until death ensues, whether by action of natural, laws or otherwise, no liability attaches to the insurer.". As to the authority of Mr Bennet.ho fell satisfied Unit the nnding of the lui-y was wi-on" i!y the rides of practice ot tills "court, unfortunately the verdict of of the jury must bo Riven ollect toor can only bo questioned by a new trial, otherwise. 1 is Honor would have no Hesitation In Ignoring the finding of the.iury and Kiv.n;-■.Hulivmcnt for the defendant. He must direct a new , nal oil this point. The questions at issue are these. 1. Had Sir Bennett any authority as local manager of the Company after a policy of insurance had ex pired by etlluxion of time, and the contract between the insurer and the insured was ai an end. to create a now contract without reqilir iig any premium to be paid, or making any of the inquiries, or going through any of the forms usually made. Assuming Air Bennett had such authority, what loss has the plaintiff sustained ! The horse, when discovered, was badly hurt, and must have been destroyed, wheiner Mr Bennett had said " Yea" or "No. In my opinion, therefore, the Jindings, taken on the whole in this branch of the case, were arrived at in direct opposition to the evidence before the jury. There must therefore, be a new trial upon these two points: (1 Whether Mr Bennett had authority to bind the bocicty under these circumstances; (2) whether the Society are stopped by Mr Bennetts conduct from denying their liability. Nobth $:/,. Woollen llanukactuuing Co. v. Si-yak.—Mr Jackson for the plaintitt company, and Mr Alexander for the defendant. Mr lhco. Cooper appeared on behalf of the plmntiil s solicitor, and Mr Cof.er for the defendant. This wa3 a claim for a 10s, for interest at S per cent., and the remaining moneys due on certain shares applied for by the defendant In this coniMunv S'r Styak, the defendant, had applied for I'UO shares and lodged £S subsequently upon them. The defendant had alleged that the representation of the number of shares taken up, as stated upon the prospectus, was faulty and misrepresented the standing of the Company. The defendant also claimed that, whereas he joined the Company whose powers only went so far aa purchasing, or lining ol woollen materials, ub stated in the prospectus, he found that the Company had powers, arj stated in the Memorandum of Association, to deal in other material:;. Thin contradiction, he claimed, was sufficient to upset his beirg a shareholder. ~ . Sir Cooper quoted Lord Cairna judgment in v similar case from Thi-ing's law cases, wßerc tbo learned irentluinan says "it is tho bounclen duty of Ti shareholder to ascertain the lines upon which the company is carried on; also to become acquainted with the Articles of Asso ciation "-(Jcorgo Alfred Orchard, clerk in the oilice of tho assistant-registrar of joint stock oliices. produ ed Articles of Association which Mr Stouey (Clerk ol the Court), road out. William Sylvester Styak, defendunt, was called by the plaintiff's solicitor as the second witness. This led to a long and somewhat ex cited discussion between Mr Cotter and Mr Cooper, as tp whether Mr Bennet, secretary of the plain tiff company should leave the court. His Honour ruled that he could remain in court. Mr Cooper called for the production of the notices of calls, which the witness said he had received. ■ Mr Cooper called for these notices. Mr totter, as counsel, knew nothing of them. They were not in court. Mr Cooper several times pressed that they should be produced, but Mr Cooper refused, arguing that only secondary evidence could bo used by the plaintiffs, a notice merely with a subuosna having been issued for them. Witness continued that when he received the first notice of call he considered he had been allotted shares. Did not apply to be taken oft the register of shareholders. Kecolleeted Mr Claude Purchase visiting him at the end of last year at the Thames. He told him that tho number of shares represented had not been taken up, and ho had placed the matter in his solicitor's hands. He left it to his solicitors W take his name off the shareholders list. Mr Bayldon was with him, and was ono ot those who «ot up the meeting about the shares. By Mr Cotter: Mr Bennett came '.o the brewery and tried to get Mr Myers, a clerk, to take shares in the Company. Mr Bennett was not successful with Mr Myers, and next ad dressed the witness, representing the thing in Blowing terms, and said that there were only 60,000 shares to be allotted, that 45,000 were taken up and 5000 were reserved for tho Thames dis trict, as the company wished them to be distri buted as evenly over the place as possible. I bis statement caused Mr Slyacli to take up the shares. Ho also stated that only 10s would be called per share to start the null. Heaid nothing from the company for some months afterwards. Up to sending in his appli cation he did not hear that the company had ex tended their operations as other than woollen goods, noi tat 27,000 shares had been taken up. Had only Mr Bennett's statement before him when he sent in his application. Had never received any notice from the Company of Ws having been placed on list of shareholders. Told Mr Purchas he did not consider himself a shareholder. Up to December last no legal proceedings were taken against him by the company. Have never yet seen memorandum of Association of the Company. The decision of Mr Justice Ward is the first notice lie had ot their being any difference between tlis pros pectus and too Articles of Association. By Mr Cooper: Mr Bennett represented that Mr Morrin had a number of shares. Ho did not complain of tiiis statement.

It will be noticed by an advertisement in this issue that Mr Oennes givee « free lime light exhibition at Cheltenham Beach this evening.
