NOTES AND COMMENTS.

His Excellency the Governor.in a speech nt Port Chalmers yesterday, explained tha position of tho recent defence works in relation to the general defence of the colony. Ho said that the defence of New Zealand waff a naval defence, and it would greatly depend on the lines of communication at sea. But in connection with that defence, ami supporting and forming a por tion lof it, was the protection of the ports -of Port Chalmers, Lyttelton. Wellington, and Auckland. If these were not protected, the rosuifc would be that-the Naval Squadron would have to'operate for their protection, instead of looking out for the enemy at sea on the lines of communica tion, where he should be met. The defence of tie sea ports was, therefore," part and parcel of tbo naval defence of. the colony, and | Volunteers at these ports h existed to protect them, as they were the nucleusl of the naval defence, and at the same time a great source of strength for the colony. .The* Government have not yet arrived at any arrangement with the Admiralty relative to the'permanent stationing of one or more warships upon the New Zealand coast, but it is evident .from His Excellency's re marks that whatever may be decided on hereafter regarding the apportionment'of' the Australian fleet, the defence works at tho leading ports.of the colony will be depended upon for the protection of tho.e places, leaving the men-o'-war free ■to cruise off the coast, This fact shows the importance of maintaining our port defences in a constant state of efficiency, as it is.beyond doubt.f.om information in the possession of the Imperial G.vernment,that in (he event of war with Russia a sudden' descent will be maCe upon these colonies.

Diversity of views on most important polij tical subjects hat been so frequently ex pressed by members of the present Minis try, and. shown by their divisions in the House, that "it has ceased to ex cite remark. Few persons will,' how ever, be btber tban' r-nrprised to read the following statement by . the', local Ministerial organ bb to the independence of action allowed to each individual member of the Cabinet by his colleagues : "Although now within a month of I the meeting of Parliament "(says the " PoBt") " very few of the measures to be introduced have been submitted even in skeleton form to the Cabinet, and there have been, very few full Cabinets to consider tfcem, even if they were ready—which they are not, in fact, with the exception of the Representa tion Bill and; possibly, one or two other measures—we fuily expect that each Minis ter will be left pretty, well to himself as to what bills he introduces next session and what their provisions are, and Ministers will hold themselves free to criticise, and, if they think proper, vote against their colleagues' proposals just as if they » ere not Government measuies at all. This, of course, is a very unsatisfactory and im proper state of affaire, but it is the natural result of Ministers only meeting together at rare andhuniedintervalsduring the recess.'. The writer proceeds to point out that this state of affairs accounts for the contradic tory statements made by different Ministers as to what is or is not intended us a Govern ment measure, and nlso for tho fact that a document appro v.' ij ono or two Ministers found its way into print and circulation without half the members of the Cabinet having seen or heard of.it. . ... :■ • _

There is very general »nd natural discon tent throughout the country over Hall's escape from the just penalty of his in famous crimes. It is felt that if the con vict had been a poor mau, without the funds to take advantage of the quirks and quibbles of the law, the verdict of the jury would have fcaled his fate. The " Ljttel ton Times" advocares: carrying the esse »' yet to the Privy Council It saye • ' "Should the admitted failure ,of -justice in the Hall cusc lead to an amendment of the New Zealand law ot evidence, a repeti tion of such unfortunate discharges will be - prevented ; but the cose itself will remain an example of law's ineffectiveness. There is one way to avoid this-an., bo far as wo knu*, only ,one .that-wny is for the Crown to appeal to the Privy Council. The Crown has been badly treated After working up a .most difficult and) important!' case with great care, and at very considerable cost to the country, it has been baffled by an over cautious Bench, whose view of the ease in relation to the law of evidence as now mado in • England is, iv our opinion, erroneous. The nicety ...ot the point and undoubted conflict/of pro.ious de cisions does not alter the J fact that Our Couit of Appeal baa weighed the matter wrongly in Me *■ bai__c.. l.t is one thing-to point oht The absurdity of blarriidg juoges indignantly for rakine a justifiable view of so flue a, point and quite another thing to new.' with thtm in the view they __._"' __.„ their view has' iled net merely1 to' widespread dissatisfaction .but to what ia unfortunately more important— a grave in justice—there is substantial reason for a.k. ing tj havo the matter remitted to the Supreme Tribunal of the Empire :* TFe-i ■Times" gots on = to. cite two New South i Wales cases in which-the-Appeal Court •|> decisions wer._p._t By __e^r% Conß.-'

rjIRY KIRKPATRIOK'S NEW SEASON'S JAM. SPECIAL NOTICE. Kjrkpatrick's New Season's Jam is made from Nelson-grown fruit, and ia boiled within a few hours after the fruit has been gathered. It thus retains most of the natural flavour of the fresh fruit. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the most delicious preserve in th« market. Do not be persuaded to buy cheap and inferior brands of jam, the remains of old stock which must be sold at any price, but ask for Kirkpatkiok'h New Season's Jam, and see that you get it. The best is always the Cheapest. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the best. CAUTION. None is genuine unless our name is itamped on each tin and has our registered ■rade mark, " Lord Nelson," on the label. 3. KIEKPATEICK & CO., Manufacturers, Nelsoh, N.Z.
