Hil and - E S HSiloway for permission to attend the Auckland Training Classes. Your Com mittee having considered the complaint o Mr J Gibb and the explanation furnished by the master (Mr H. Phillips) are ot opinion that there is no necessity for any further action in the matter. With a view of dividing the work of the Thames Train - ins Classes your Committee recommend that M - R. B. Heriot should be appointed to tak'j an eqiml share with Mr H. Phillips in the instruction of the assistants and pupil teachers, and that the remuneration at the rate of £100 a year for this work should be equally divided between the two teachers. —The report was adopted. Experimental Science.—lhe Rev. \\. jtaabeiajterrote, stating that the new re flations—r the examination of teachers in experimental science had not been issued as soon as he had hoped, and the notice of the experimental science examination for class I) was therefore shorter than was at flrsfc intended. ' In these circumstance--, if the Board could make arrangements for as many candidates as possible to attend a class for instruction in tho course contained m the syllabus, to be conducted if possible by Professor Brown, who had shown great interest in helping the teachers to become acquainted with the subject, the Minister Of Education would, for the "January exami nation, accept such a' teacher's certificate pf satisfactory attendance as a substitute for examination in the subject. The letter was referred to the Principal of the Train ing College. The Use of School-rooms as Polling Booths.—Mr R. S. Mair, Returning Officer at Whangarei,' requested information as to whether a school committee had power to levy a charge for the use of a school-room for the purposes of a polling booth. It was resolved, " That the matter is one en tirely for the committee to decide. " Tenders.—The tender of Mr A. Robb (£45), for the erection of the EastTamaUi School, was accepted. The engineer's esti mate was £80. The tenders for supplies were opened, and it was resolved that they be scheduled, and brought up for considera tion at the next''meeting of the Board. Some of the tenders were informal, the cheques which accompanied them not being marked.

TRADES AND LABOUR COUNCIL.

Was usual meeting of the above body was

held last evening. There was a good at ite4—? nee ' r ■*■' Tnclehope presiding. -'flffiDiCAL Reform League. —The Secretary read a letter received from the Auckland Radical Reform League stating that after due consideration the League had decided not to Select any particular candidates for support at the approaching elections. After nftMftT^L m'"hl" discussion the following resolu !ft!—!Sbusly carried: — " That the Trades and Labour Council, regrets. thafei the Radical Reform League had noWihe courage to express an opinion .in regard to tho selection of candidates for Parliament, inasmuch as from the resolution* passed* b# them and now for warded' to the CoHpcil, ib is evident the j|l.eague has no confidence in many of the Hpjandidates now before tho constituencies ; P^ considering also thai the League was the first to move in theTnatter by making Over tures to the Council to adopt a common { political platform on which the joint bodies " should support candidates, the Trades and Labour Council considers that the League has broken faith with.the Council." IiAI-tVAY EMPLOYEES'-BpiKD OK AW-KAL> —Tile nomination of Mr J. P. King by the railway employees on Tuesday hut. as a member of the Board was next considered. It was pointed oub that the railway em ployee* were noting altogether under a misapprehension, as the nomination of the member had to be made by the Council, and the Council could only accept any nomina tion from the railway employees by way of a suggestion. A sub - committee of the Council was then appointed to meet the railway servants and explain matters, and after the conference fro submit the name of the Council's nominee to the Minister of 'Justice.' Ifc was the general opinion of the Council that it' would bo a great blunder to select anyone wjio was not distinctly identi fied with the interests of labour. _ Election Committee's Report.—The committee appointed to meet the committee of the IndostrialAssociation brought up their report, from which ifc appeared that a joint meeting of delegates from the two bodies Md been held, and a common under standing had been arrived at as re gards .the support to be given to certain canditUtes. With regard to those seats omSl^ ,ft was some difference of opinion, .Kf ? Rations were made by the < Sn^rll fetE&over at the joint -"^V*. jiace- to-day, so that I

the names of the candidates to be sup ported by the joint bodies could be pub lished on Monday morning. It was de cided to hold a special meeting on Friday evening next. This concluded the business.

DAMAGES FOR ASSAULT.

(EY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Chui3tciiup.ch, Friday. Ix the Supreme Court to-day, the action Hewitt v. Cameron for £500 damages for injuries caused by the defendant, who is a farmer at Methvin, assaulting plaintiff, who is a son of Admiral Sir Wm. Hewitt, was heard. A quarrel arose from a dispute as to the payment of money due to the plaintiff for harvesting, and though the plaintiff struck the first blow, the defen dant was proved to have kicked him wbeq lie was down. Damages, £50, were awarded by a special jury of four.

CORRESPONDENCE.

" Veritas" and the Volunteers

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l am much afraid your correspondent "Veritas" has not a just appreciation of the meaning of-the word under which he en deavoufs to hide his identity. He, in effect, charges.your Onehunga contributor with mendacity, whereas, in truth, it is "Veritas," strange paradox, who permits his pen to trace' a statement the character of which may be tersely described by the employ ment 'of a monosyllable of three letters. "Veritas "states that the parade state of the Waifcemata and Onehunga Naval Com panies at Onehunga on Sunday last was 15 and 52 respectively, and not as stated by your own correspondent—viz., 30 aud G3. The matter is scarcely worth writing about, but in justice to your " own" allow me to say that his figures are quite correct, and those of " Veritas " quite wrong. The only error your " own " made was in describing tbo parade as a joint one. It was nob such ; but had it been, then of course Captain Hulse, as senior officer, would have com manded tho " whole force." By the way, I observe that "Veritas" wisely refrains from mentioning the number of Tailles on parade.—l am, eta, W. Finlay Wilson. Onehunga, Sept. Bth, 1887.

A Shipwright's Grievance.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Will you kindly publish the follow ing, " for the wrong that needs resistance." Would it be believed, sir, that in this coun try could be found anyone calling himself master, or employer of labour, who would boycott a few shipwrights who went to work on a vessel for 10s per day ? During tho past 18 months very many of the ship wrights have not averaged more than two days' work per week, and it seems hard that when there is a chance to earn 10s they must refuse or be boycotted. One of these men I t know, who was of the number, for the last tyro years ha 3 not done six weeks' ship wrighting, and is to bo hunted for not re fusing to work for 10s per day. Creat Scott, what are we to do ? Fancy this so called employer going his rounds, and try ing to get others to do the same ; but I am glad to stiy that he could nofc find any one to agree with him. And what rate of wages does he pay? At the pre sent time, because men are very hard up, ho is generous enough to pay Bs, and he would boycott men for getting 10s. No doubt it would suit hinrto pay 8s and charge 12s. I suppose that is a thing he has never done—never paid a man 7s 6d, and charged 12stor it.A He will say that is no business of mine. Neither is^ ib his if these men can get work at 10s. These men did the work to the satisfaction of their employers quite as well without his aid as with it.—Yout'S,&c.,O.MKLa Vixcit Labor.

The Marriage Case.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Will you please allow me, through the medium of the Evenino Star, to ex plain to the public what really took place in the office of the Registrar of Marriages on the 14th May Last, re the marriage of Quinn and Julia Sanford ? When I arrived I was informed that I had to solemnise a marriage at 10 o'clock, and that the bridegroom had previously called to get information and supply all the particulars necessary for filling up the official documents. He was told that as the bride, Julia Sanford, was under 21 years of age, the written consent of lier father, witnessed either by a clergyman, Jus tice of the Peace, or tho Registrar of Mar riages himself, must be obtained. About, the' timo appointed the bridal party. arrived, including the man Mannix, who represented himself to be Albert Sanford, the father. .;, . J. In filling in the particulars, in the Marriage -fotice Book I inquired how San ford was to be spelled, i.e., was it Sanford or Sandford, and when I was toll San ford, I inquired if they (Julia Sanford and the man representing himself to be the father) were related to Sanford of Rakino Island smoked fish celebrity. I was informed that they were not, and that they lived at .Waikawau, or some such name, Coromandel. When Mannix was forging the name of Albert Sanford I noticed he put a "d" after the "n," and/I. immedi ately called attention to it, saying "How is this ? you-have just told me that it is not spelled with a ' d,' and yet you write the 'd' ?;' They, then all replied that it was a mistake, that it should be Sanford,* and Mannix obliterated the " d." I did not for a moment suspect- that he was committing an audacious forgery/ for the whole party had a respectable appear ance, and Quinn, the bridegroom, rendered himself liable to crack stones in the stockade for two years if he brought the wrong person, as he had to make this declaration : " I also solemnly declare that tho consent of the father, Albert Sanford, has given to the marriage " With-regard to His Honor's wonder that the fact of a man not knowing how to spell his own name did nofc excite tbe Registrar's suspicion, I have to reply that during my nearly 30 years' service I have witnessed the signatures of many thousands, and known illiterate people spell their names incorrectly and educated men differ as to tho manner.

Myownnai_e,forinstanee,is spelled by the landed head of the family Weyland ; by myself and some of my near relatives Way land, as in Lower's Patrohymica Biifc annica. My wife's father spelled} his name De Witt; one of his son.-, not ambitious of Dutch extraction, omits the De. A gentleman of the name McKenzie was asked a short time ago if he spelled his name, Mac, or Me. He said Mac.,and writes immediately after Me. So also with the name Clark. Some say Clark without the "c," and write Clarke. The Register books of births, deaths and marriages furnish numerous examples, and most old settlci-3 remember that the late Curator of Intestate Estates spelled his name originally Macfarlane, and subse quently Maoffariahe. ... By inserting these remarks I shall feel obliged, for althongh a Beotian and Crasso 'in acre mltis, I am particularly sensitive that I should not be considered the in cautious officer the report in last night's Star appears to make me.—l am, su-, your most obedient servant, John M. Way, land. _. Septwi^w. 9, 1887. ~
