PARLIAMENTARY GOSSIP.

Wellington, this day.

Farmers' Pest. The new pest to farmers is referred to in a Parliamentary paper laid on the table of the House last night- It is known as the California!! thistle, and is a cause of .great anxiety to farmers in the Middle island. It is only lately that it has begun to spread in a manner calculated to cause damage to the country, and it is predicted that unless occupiers at once endeavour to eradicate the thistle, legislation will bo necessary. In Victoria and Tasmania dalaride of lime and salt are recommended as eradicating poisons. Dairy Industry. Some information respecting the dairy industry in Xew Zealand haa been laid before the House by the Agricultural De partment. It is stated in the report that the ©utput of the factories will probably be increased during the season, as not only are they better supported by farmers, but several new ones have been started in New "Plymouth and Southland this year, so that mow there will bo nearly forty butter and cheese factories at work. The factories in the South Island are stated to havo been more successful than those in New Ply mouth and Wellington. Taking one year with another," says Mr W. G. Reeves, "cheese-making will probably pay the farmers as well as anything they can pro duce. :> Silk Culture. It appears from the report on silk culture prepared by Mr Schoch that the number of mulberry trees in the colony suitable for silkworm food is between 19,000 and 20,000, but at least 100,000 tree 3 should be raised hem tho seed hs has distributed. He distributed 600,000 eggs from Italy, ■but \rajftp young persons in the coun try evMentiy did their best to give the inthistry a fair trial, those in tho tottnjProu not devote the necessary time and* trouble to the matter. A number of evgs from Japan were also distributed. His own experiments with both varieties were satisfactory. He found that 2SO fresh cocoons went to the pound, while 300 to 400 is tho rule. Mr Schoch appends a Btate jnent, giving £22 as the probable earnings of two persons in six weeks by the raising of lOOlbs of dry .cocoons, or £72 for two persons for ten weeks' work in the produc tion of grain or eggs. The estimates are evidently prepared on a very sanguine basis. Dltslnctions Between tho Races. A very sensible resolution was' given notice of to-day by Mr James Carroll, mem ber for the Eastern Maori district, who spokein.English. The text of the motion is as follows'jjiiiThat in the opinion of this HousoJHb desirable that as speedily as possibM^p unnecessary distinctions be tween iUjpnhabitants of this colony should fee abolished so far as it can be effected by the modes of legislation and our system of administration; (2) that our statute of records and public documents should he so framed as to tend to obliterate rather than to maintain distinction between the two races; (3) that it'is expedi ent to effect complete equality whereever possible in the position of the inhabitants of the colony so that the sam* laws as to pro perty and the rights and privileges of citizenship should apply toall alike ;(4) that It is desirable to appoint a select committee of members of this Houso, with power to center with any similar Committee ap » pointed by the Legislative Council, to con s' sider and suggest means by which equalisa ti«n- may be expedited, and whatever tends meedlessly to show and perpetuate, dis tinctions may be abolished till every refer ence to one race or another may be rendered unnecessary all being alike and referred to as the people of New Zealand. «H Looking After Jacli Tar. Ht object of the Bill to Amend the ipping and Seamen's Act, 1875, of which Mr Moss has given notice, is to provide for an inquest by a proper authority when deaths are reported of sailors killed in exe cution of their duty — for example in the oase «f the.vessel which arrived a few months ago in Auckland, reporting the tleath of three men washed off the boom in' a gale of wind in order to save the rags left froisi a split jib. The bill will not in the ! least limit the power of the captain, but it is hoped will afford a useful check against the capricious exercise of power. '§ j$ Biblo in-Schools Bill. Mr Fulton's Bible Reading-in-Schools Bill provides for leaving it permissive with the Bchool Committees whether the Bible shall be read with a timetable and con aciecofc clause. Military and Naval Settlers. Tke claims of naval settlers are to be fUjJI reopened to-day. Mr T. Thompson will iff ask the Minister of Lands if it is the inten ti«ft of Government to re-introduco this session the Naval and Military Settlers and Volunteers Bill of last session with a view of giving effect to the report of the Com missioners appointed to enquire into claims of old soldiers, naval and military settlers, •id volunteers. Horticulture. Mr G. E. Alderton's lengthy report and appendices.jjn vine and other fruit culture * in AmerjMHjßiVe been printed and circu lated. SHBderton suggests a fruit ex hibition jP^Auckland, the Government getting wax models taken of the fruit shows fer exhibition in London. Steps, he says, skeuld be taken by the Government to deal •with the insect pests, and orchardists should cembine together in regard to the placing ,«f fruit on the market.

THE FIRE IN WELLINGTON STREET.

AN M VERDICT RETURNED*

We confcinua our report of the evidence given at the inquiry into the origin of the fire in Wellington-street :—

Detective Patrick Herbert deposed : He 6aw John McNamara on election day, the 26th September, in front of St. James's Hall, Wellington-street. He said, "I've been looking for you. I want to know what this means " (producing a notice from an Oddfellows' Lodge at the Thames of a quarterly meeting on the 27th). Witness replied, " It is the usual notice of quarterly meetings. I always get them." Mc- Naraara then said, " Oh, I was afraid they wanted to cut off my allowance." Mc- Namara's allowance meant his pension ofl3s4d a week from the Lodge for life because of permanent injury. ' This allow ance the Lodge could not cut off, and witness told him so. McNamara knew tkis himself, as he had been an Oddfellow for five years past. the notice stated the business to be transacted afc the meeting to be: " (1) Consideration of re commendations of Committee re reduction of management Expenses, and (2) considera tion from New Zealand JPriendly Societies mid Mutual Fidelity Guarantee Associa tion. " Witness pointed but that tlsey could not transact other business than what! was stated on the notice. McNamara replied, "Well, in that ease there is no necessity for my going to the Thames," fitness said, "N»ne whatever." McNamara then retaagked, "Oh,-well, I'll go,, anyway, j ha^lfofe some little business to tntnsacfc.' AViflßßs could sec when ho left that he was defSlnined • upon going to tho Thames, although when ho first spoke he appeared desirous of getting out of the^ assumed

obligation to go. Witness rould not under stand why McNamara asked the questions, as there was no penalty for McNamara's non attendance at tho meeting. The . notice was simply a request to attend —not a summons. It was exceptional to send such notices to "foreign" members—»'.&, mem bers living more than three miles away—as such members were entitled to pay i ,in their dues to the nearest lodge. Kato O'Donnell, wife of James O'Donnell, railway labourer, deposed that on the night of the fire she was at Mrs McNamara's. She went there about 8 o'clock and stayed till 10, when she went home, taking with her 6d potatoes, £lb of tea, 21b of sugar and a small packet of oatmeal. She did not re member telling Detective Walker that all she took from the shop was A bag ot potatoes for a poor woman. She had not said to anyone that when brought to the in quest she would know nothing nnd say nothing. Previous to the occasion re ferred to she had only gono to Mrs McNamara's when she required groceries. She had never said in Detective Walkers presence, " I hope poor Mac will gob his in surance."—By Mr Hcskcth : Sho was a cus tomer of McNamara's, and paid for the goods she got on the night of the 27th. It was for the goods that she went to the shop. It was about 5 a.m. when she heard the alarm of fire. Sho was then in bed with her husband, whom sho aroused. Both she and her daughter having gone to bed when she got homo to Union-street." The first sho knew of the fire was some person screaming out "Five!'1 She arose, dressed, and accompanied by Mary, who had also been aroused, went to the fire. She threw a waterproof over her night-dress and a shawl over tho waterproof, and with her boots on her feet went to the fire. Sho was not in the passage between Mallet's ■and McNamara's before there *wns any cry or alarm of "fire." Slio wars standing in the street when Mrs Robinson called out, "Is Mrs Mac. safe?" and neither did she answer " Yes, and the children are here.1' Sho had not since told Mrs Robin son that she had made such an answer. She was not near McNamara's shop culling out "Fire." She was not to receive any part of the insurance money. She had j only known MeNamara two months. On going to the fire she found Mrs McXamara in Mrs Hughes'::! and helped to dress her. Mrs McNamara had not given her any present. Mrs McNamara \yas recalled, and stated that Mrs O'Donnell went home about 10 o'clock, leaving by the shop door. Sho did not see Mrs O'Donnell again until she met her in Mrs Hughes's aftar the lire. At 1.10 p.m. tho inquiry was adjourned till 2 o'clock. On the inquiry being- resumed at.2 o'clock, Mary O'Donnell, daughter of last witness, deposed that she accompanied her n|pther to the fire. She heard her mother on getting up tell her father that sFie heard some ono screaming fire. On look ing outside she saw tho fire Maying in the distance. When sl-.o got to the live she did not hear Mrs Robinson Calling out, "IsMrs Mac there V" nor did sho subse quently tell Mrs Robinson that she and her mother wore there when this was .called out. Frederick Hughes, carpenter,' residing in Wellington-street, nearly opposite l.ho scene of the lire, deposed that on tho morning of the 28th ult. ho was aroused by someone screaming "Fire!" Ho put on his trousers, rushed out, and found Mrs Mr "samara and two children in tho street. He believed she had petticoats nn . and (something round her shoulders. Ho tried to press open MeNamara'fl shop door, but could not. It was fastened too strongly inside. If he had got in, bo could have? put the fixe out, as he saw no lire in the shop at first. Ho afterwards saw a little firo along the window. He heard a crackling noiso. He went into the kitchen, bub found no in dication of fire there. He then went into the bedroom and saw a little smoke there, but one would hardly-notice it. He opened' the door leading into the sitting-room and saw smoke there. He saw no glare of lire. He went out into the .street again, ran round to the front and saw Malice- on the the top of the steps. He assisted him down the steps, as- his leg was broken. After this he re-entered McNamara's houso by the kitchen and thence into the bed room, from which ho took out a cradle. He returned to the front room. He could not ccc over the shop shutters, but there was tho reflection of a little lire upon the j top of the window. • On getting back j to the street ho met his mother, who j told him Mrs McKatnara said she had! left £32 in her wardrobe, and wished him to get it. Ho went back into the house, searched for tho wardrobe in the bedroom, but was unable to find any wardrobe. Even then he had no diffi culty in searching the bedroom. Ho did not go into the shop. He made three searches for the wardrobe, and tho first! time he took a lighted candle with him. He was accompanied by a man whose name he had since learned to bo Simpson. By Mr Coopel*: He noticed no smell at the tire.

Ada Robinson, wife of Willinm Robinson, photographer, residing in Wellington-street (next door to the McNamaras),deposed that along with them she was burnt out by the fire of the 28th. On the morning- of the 26th ult. McNamara ppoke to her at her own gate,andtold her he was waiting to see Detective Herbert (who belonged to the same .lodge of Oddfellows) on his way up the street. Ho wanted to sco him, as he wished to know if he could so arrange matters as to avoid attending a lodge meet ing at the Thames. He remarked that it was an awkward timo for him to go away and witness replied, "Certainly it was, seeing that he was about to move." Later the same day, she saw McNamara in Hobson-strcet). He left three other men to come and speak to her. He told her he in tended to go to the Thames, perhaps that night or the next morning. Early on the next morning, of the 28th nit., she was aroused by afemale voice screaming "Fire." She believed it was Mrs McNamara, but she could not say whether it was Mrs McNamara or Maggie Flynn, She immediately called her servant girl (Eva Watt), and they both ran on to the verandah together. She then cried out, "Where are Mrs Mac and the children ?" and a voice answered, Mrs Mac is here and the two children are safe." She did not know who it was answered. Later in the day witness, while talking with Mrs O'Donhellasked "Who was that last night answered mo when I called out ' Where are Mrs Mac and the children.'" Mrs Q'Donnell replied, "It was me that answered you." Witness said, "Oh, was it you." Mrs O'Donnell added " Yes ; I Was the last one with Mrs Mc- Namara last night and the first with her this morning, and I expect the detectives will be with me." Mrs O'Donnell also said, " Poor thing (meaning Mrs Mac), she has lost all her baby clothes, the books and £32, and ahe says her husband will murder her when he returns." Witness went out from her houee in -her night-dress, and Eva had % ekirb and jacket on. Witness's i eldest girl had her night-gown on, and the baby had witness's ulster and petticoat on. Witness's principal loss washer jcwclleryand clothes. She estimated her loss at about £10. She had since recovered her jewellery in a melted state, and it had been taken to the bank to be assayed. On the Sunday after the fire Mary O'Donnell came to wit ness's house and said she had been to sco Mrs Mac,, who was very ill. Witness asked, ■ " How aaroe your mother to hear them call ' Fire ' before mo — a next door neighbour—while your mother lives down Union-street?" She replied, "I don|fc know." Witness remarked, " No ; you do not know nor do I." Eva, who was present, asked, V Had hob your mother her pink jacket and black skirt on ?" and Mary replied "Yes." Eva told Mary she had. seen hor also at the fire, and Mary assented. On the day before the fire witness sent her girl to McNainara's. for'some onions, and

tho eirl returned with the onions, and in addition 2 tins of coeou 2 tins aardines 1 tin of marmalade, and 1 tin of fresh he rinsr r|lhoy were not charged in i ho book, and witness, saying she must give some thin^ in return, sent her eldest girl to Mrs McNamara with a baby's robe, tolling her to say she was to accept it as a present from mamma. Sho did not know of any other groceries being given away.— By Mr Hesketh : When Eva returned with the extra things from the shop. She said, "Mrs Mac sent you these." Once before, after Mrs McNamara had been sick,and wit ness had been in to sec her, she gave witness a tin of herrings. Witness did not render any kindness' to Mrs McNamara for which the extra goods could be given. Christina- Hughes, wife of Frederick Bol ton Hughes, residing in Wellington street, deposed" that Mrs McNamara and Maggie Flynn came over to her place, on tho morn ing of the (ire. Some little time afterwards they had been up looking at a lire until { about 11 o'clock tho previous night, andj Maggie Flynn said, " Was it no'o strange that "Mrs McNamara should have said the previous night that when pcoplo went to bed at night they should always put then clothes where they would know to find them in case of fire?" By Mr Hesketh: Witness's -husbatid aroused her by calling out "Firo," and sho at once dashed on to the verandah, leaving her husband to dress. As soon as sho appeared on the verandah Maggio Flynn, who was in the middle of tho street, u-ked if she might come in. Witness said, "Certainly." When Mrs McNamara came, in she had her nightdress, petticoats, boots, and .stockings on. Tho girl had a nightdress tuid ulster on. Mrs McNamara tried to ro turn to her house whon sho bethought her self of her money. _ John Simpson, a baker, residing in Wel lington-street, deposed that when ho got to the lire on the morning of the 28th ult., he saw a ■ glare on the top of tho shop window. He did not hear a crackling noise—it was more of a fizzing noi.-e. There were two men there. Ono wad Hughes. He tried to get the shop shutters dotvn. He also .saw a woman there, partly I dressed, and calling out " Fire !" Ho had since identified her. It was Mrs O'Donnell. Hughes and himself entered the dwelling ) by'the back door, and having lit a candle, wont through the kitchen into the bedroom. He saw no iiro there. He could have saved a lot of things, but he did not see much to save. There were bed and bedding, a cot, and awashstatld and set. lie saw no chests of drawers or ward robes. By Mr Hesketh : The woman who was screaming " Fire " was 20 or 30 yurds oil. She had not a uinU jacket on (laughter), but she was dressed in something more than nightdress. Eva Wott, a girl of 15, in the employ of Mrs Robinson deposed that on the morning of the 28th nit. she smelt the firo half an-hour before f?he was aroused. She , smelt keroacno and rags. Mrs Robin son then called out "Firo" to hoi1, and told her to bring a candle, which .she did. Mrs Mac also called out " Firo." She called it out again when, Mrs Robinson and witness got on to (he verandah. She took Mrs Robinson and theJ children into Wood's, a neighbour'*^ and returned to tho houso to get out Mr ilobUi son'a l.wo boxes into the yard. Whilo there, sho saw Mrs McKumnra in a bluuk dress and with her boots on. Mrs O'DonntiU was there too, and so also was Magjjlo Fiynn. They wore all dressed, even the children. She heard Mrs Robinson call out whilo the firo was burning, "in Mrs Alac . thereV" Someone replied, "Mrs Mac is hero, and tho children arc .safe." Later on ' that day eho heard Mrs O'Donnell admit ! to Mrs Robinson that it was she who made this answer. On the afternoon of the 27th Mm Robinson sent her to tho shop for a j pound of onions, and Mrs Mac gave her in addition to tho onions 2lb's of barley, 2 tina • of sardines, 2 packets .of cocoa, ono tin : of marmalade, and one tin of fresh ' horrini'3. Mrs Robinson did not like to ac cept them tor nothing, and she therefore ' scut witness buck with a baby's robe to Mrs Mac. [Subsequently Mr Hesketh pointed ' out that Mrs Robiuson had said she sent her own little girl with tho baby's robe, and tho j witness thon corrected tho state ment, saying that she meant, that Mr« Robinson's little girl wns sent- with it.] Last Tuesday Mrs Mac met her in Hobson j street and told her sho had better shut up j her mouth, and that she must not tell Do ! tective Walker about the eroeorieH. Wit- I ness replied that she had already told about them.—By Mr Hesketh : It was daylight when she saw Mrs O'Donnell, Mrs Mac and tho children. She first paw Mrs Mac at the bottom of Mrs Robinson's steps. Mrs Robinson, being recalled, said she had made a mistake in her former evidence. Eva went for the bailey, and her own little girl for the onions. She was under the im pression that she did not give Eva thcac count book, but it was Eva who returned it to her. Witness then said, " Eva, she (meaning Mrs Mac) has only put down onions." Detective Tuohy deposed that on the morning of tho fire ho saw the boy Flynri, | and took him into his own house, which was next door to the scene of tho fire. The boy said he knew thoroughly the stock in tho shop, and gave witness a list of it, which he took down at the time. (List produced) He bald there were eight 501b sacks of Hour, and five or six 251b bags, three bags of potatoes in sugar bags, and a candle box of oatmeal. Ho said also there were two boxes of tea, and some tea in .show can isters on the shelf, 1 case of jams, 3 : dozen mustard h and £ lbs, half a bag of salt, 4 dozen eggs, four pounds of butter, and a few other things. The boy had an intimate knowledge of the contents of the shop. From information witness received, on the Saturday before the fire (24th ult.), he had been watching McNamar.l'3 premises and conferred with Constable Bernard respect ing it, as well as with Sergeant Pratt on tho morning before the fire. 'Witness was present at the fire. It appeared to be inside j the shop window, and the flames seemed to spring from some inflammable matter. By Mr Cooper: On the night of the fire ho watched McNamara's shop up till two o'clock in the morning, expecting a firo to ■ take place, according to the information he had received. He left at 2 o'clock. By a juror: When he got to the fire it was too far advanced to do anything. By the Coroner : He smelt nothing. By Mr Hesketh : He was not aware that night that McNamara was away from home. Josiah Mallet, stonemason, residing in Wellington-street, deposed that he had lived in the house next to McNamara's, but was burnt out. He received the alarm through two ladies knocking at the side of his house. They knocked about a minute and told him to get up before calling out fire. He was certain there were two women. Ho had only been in the house 8 days, and did not know whether Mrs Mao knew he had a broken leg. When he went out lie did not see either of the women. Jas. Lyle, baker, of Wellington-street, deposed that be was the owner of the bouses burnt down on the morning of the 28th ult. For two months—less or more—pre vious to the firo, McNamara was very per-' sistent in trying to induce him to provide long shutters for the shop window 'instead of the half-shutters that ho had. Witness pointed out to McMamara that as he was disabled short shutters would bo handier for them. After thatsomewinclow3 were broken, and McNamara came again about the long emitters, offering to replace the broken panes and pay half tho cost of the long Shutters. Witness did not provide the shutters. McNamara then put a large green curtain to the shop window, and boar ded up tho broken fan-light. Witness first saw these things on tho Friday night pre vious to the firo. The effect'was to prevent anyone seeing into the shop from the out side. Witness did v.ot like the appearance of things, and fancying that something

was going to happen from tho way the window and fan "light were, covered up he told Detective Tuohy, who lived next door. Witness had been watching the shop for some time before the fire. Ho used to go down early every morning to see it all was safe. This closed the evidence. The iury, after fifteen minutes consul tation, returned tho following verdict :~ "That there is not sufficient evidence to show whether the Are arose accidentally or otherwise." Tho following ry-entanenb waa added :-" The jury would also ask the Coroner to point out to the proper authorities tno hardship and injustice en used both to witnesses and juryraea who are colled away from theivbusinessesland omnloymentß to attend these inquir.es longtboned ones in many cases-without tho slightest remuneration being made to them. The Coroner drew attentio i to the favourable change winch had already been effected by the late Minister of Jus tice, by which it hud been rendered legal to hold a coroner's inquest before six jury men instead of twelve.
