Insurance Rates.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —Eow very little changed is human nature now from what it was long centuries ago, when the rich man thanked God he ■was not as other men are. Your correspon dent " Insurer " (? Insured) writes in much the same strain, when he says the honest man has to pay for the dishonest one ; and then goes on to say the honest ones should band themselves together, etc., etc. How rich ! What a glorious band it would be to be sure. There is, however, onlyonedifficulty in the way of the consummation of this grand sublime idea, and that is who is to ]udge in this world betwesn the honest and dis honest ; and who is to go surety that the honest man shall remain honest. I as sume " Insureo" would not brand as dishonest any of his brethren until, or unless, they had been proved to bo such, morally or legally. All is not gold that glitters. The so-called respectable, and so far as the public knows, honest man, may be only such just so long as ifc suits his convenience, and no longer. There are many such in Auckland, perhaps not more than in other towns, still they do exist in ouv midst, as witness the cases that so frequently crop up in the Supreme Court, Police Court, and Bankruptcy Court. There on trial you see men whom once you knew, or thought you. knew, as honest citizens—a term and nothing more—for do nofc the revelations in those same courts open wide to the public gaze the shallow ness of much of our so-called honesty. In surance companies would undoubtedly pre fer to deal with only men who are honest in very truth. But to selectsuch, audsuch only, would be a task at; once as invidious and impossible of realisation as for "Insurer" to band and keep together all those who are considered by competent authority to be honest, with the understanding that they should remain honest, . Insurance com panies then, so far as honesty is concerned, have only one course open to them, and that is to treat every, man as honestly dis posed until or unless they have reanon to be iievethecontrary and very often, through no want of vigilance on their part. Tho dis covery that a. client is acting wrongly by them, comes rafchei' late in the day, and when perchance it hi difficult to sheet the charge home to him ; for there is no crime more difficult to prove than a:-son. Let " Insurer interview the several occupants of at»y block of wooden buildings, and I vetjtims to say one snd all of tbem would say they would nob insure ab all — only fes their n&igbboura—yet not quo of them, by th& world, may bg considered io&s lio«esfc ih&n yonv eon'espoijdenfc — f( In, seres.',? c? fkm Yonvs, etc, " Yebitab,"

MR TOLE'S DEFEAT.

He is Offered a Scat Mit

declines

Vkry general regret is expressed all over tho colony at the defeat of Mr Tole. An influential member of the Upper House telegraphed to Mr Tolo to day : "Everyone hero regrets your defeat, Wellington would have re turned you." This morning Mr Tole was waited on by a newly-elected member of one of the Auckland country seats, and the gentle men offered to retire in his favour. The ex-minister though fully appreciating the noble self abnegation shown, declined the offer. Mr Tole proceeds to Wellington to-morrow to meet his former colleagues.

SUPREME COURT.

Criminal Sessions.

(Before Mr Justice Ward.)

The Maori Perjury Cask.—The jury yes" terday afternoon found a verdict of guilty against Hariata Marakai, who was charged with having committed perjury in connec tion with the alleged rape case at Paeroa on the 30th of April last.—His Honor discharged the prisoner without sen tence, with the direction that she was to come up for sentence when called upon, but told her that as long as she behaved well she would not be called.— Te Mariata, another female, who was charged with a similar oifence, pleaded guilty, and was dealt with in an equally lenient manner.—Hone Koronohu was next placed in the dock. He pleaded not guilty to a similar charge.—After the jury had listened to the evidence adduced by the Crown, they returned a verdict of guilty. —As there was another charge preferred against this prisoner of unlawfully wound ing Charles Wight, sentence was deferred, and the Court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.

This Day.

Unlawfully Wounding. — Afc the Supreme Court this morning Hone Koro nohu was charged with having unlawfully wounded one Charles Heriry Wight at Paeroa on the 30th of April last. Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and a jury were era pannelled.—Air Cotter conducted the prose cution on behalf of the Crown. In opening the case he briefly referred to the evidence which would be adduced. — Charles Henry Wight was first called. Ho de posed to the circumstances tinder which he had been assaulted.—Charles Maun sell and other witnesses were pro duced to give corroborative evidence.— The prisoner said he could call Hariata and Maratai as witnesses. He then proceeded to address the jury. He totally denied any connection with the assault. Ho affirmed that the witnesses for the Crown had told great falsehoods, bvt if Charles Wight wanted his arm cutoff he might have it, and he would keep the remainder of his body for himself.-—The jury then retired, and after a few minutes returned a verdict of guilty. —His Honor asked Mr Brown if he had understood the prisoner to mean that he wished to call the witnesses mentioned.—Mr Brown replied that he had not said so, but proceeded to deliver his address to the jury. His Honor sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour for having 6om mitted perjury, and six months' hard labour for unlawfully wounding, the sentences to run consecutively.—Mr Cotter then intimated that acting upon the suggestion of His Honor, and in the face of the statement of Mr Du faur, lie had decided to enter a nolle pro-sequi in the cases of Hariata and Martai, charged with unlawfully wound ing, and Tita, charged with perjury.—His Honor then discharged the jury, and the Court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow, when the Civil Sitting will commence.

ITALY AND THE VATICAN.

The Pope's Jubilee.

In Diplomatic circles in Europe it is generally believed that some arrangement will be concluded between the Holy See and the Italian Government before the final arrangements are made to celebrate the Papal Jubilee. This arrangement may only assume a somewhat temporary and restricted character, but it will certainly lead to negotiations, with mutual conces sions, which will be- far preferable to the present total deadlock. It is known that the Pope now never leaves the Vatican, but it 18 proposed that on the occasion of his jubilee Leo XIII shall celebrate high mass at the tomb of the Apostles. A strong party of tho Cardinals favour this step, which they nay will add splendour to the festival and cannot compromise tho Papacy. Roman Catholic pilgrims from all parts would certainly look forward with pleasure <]o tho magnificent ritual of a Papal mass, and it Mould probably be for theso that the Pope might consent to go back, for once ab least, to the old stato of tilings. In any case, it in believed thab a npociul dispensation will bo given to one of the Cardinals to celobrato ab the papal altar with all tho honours reserved to tho sovereign pontiff. It ia stated at Kome that on the name occasion King Humbert will offer congratulations to Leo XUI,, and will pay the spiritual homage of a Catholiu King to the Sovereign Pontiff, Tho Arch •bishops of Milan and Naples wiU ba askcel to convoy to the Pope the. King's wteh to lire ft tialuto and otherwise honour the jubilee fetes, The hope, of Qounae, exists that by this filial wot the holy father may be induced to husfceu cHploraatig aetlen and bring down the territorial claims of the Papacy to tlieil' smallest ex= preesjofl, Exeepfe funongsb the Ql4-fasl)= jonetl reactionary Cardinals it is believed thftfc the actual possession qf Home may be yielded in return toy ft territorial prmeu pality with f» nominal seaboard guaranteed joy Italy and Ppuntergigneci by the, other PWar§ in tha interests; of their Cathojio fellow-subjects, To any such arrange ment the French Government j s likely to offep tt)§ mosfe gipenuQus objections, as in giyjng her signature to, sue!) a document, wpuld. virtually deprive ]\ey of hep lay primacy in Christendom, and wpuld make Italy fhe chief Catholic power' and the central point of l iern Oatnoloism.

Business Notices. A DVIC E T~O LADIES. The Ladies of Auckland are now casting about for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. . Tho two considerations that weigh of most importance may be said to be—Pick and Price. A word of timely advice, therefore, may not bo out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozenß of Ladies select at first sigbt only to disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of rlars since, " Did you | sec that charming and magnificent lot of prints i at Abbott's in Newton ? I feel quite vexed that I have bought." These were the actual words uttered, and we fear will be the sentiments of not afew, as they review tho stock now showing at the above-nanied's establishment. In refer ence to which R. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they have searched the markets in every direction to enable them to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying variety of Prints. Hats, Bonnets, and Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as it is possible for them to bo got for money. We havo now over 1,000 designs in jicw Prints, and our Stock will be replenished by Novelties by each steamer. We further beg to inform our well-wishers that, notwithstanding the un denied badness of the times, our trade shows an increase of from 50 to 70 per cent, month by month upon last year's trade. This is a great proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before the public an EXCELLENT VARIETY OF GOODS at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, and encourages us to still further efforts on behalf of our patrons. It has never been a part of our policy to deceive the piiblic in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reducdons, etc. If we announce a Cheap Line, our customers can bear us out that it has never been over-described. We hope this season to open out from time to time Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announce ment will be given. Besides offering Good Value and a Splendid Assortment of Beiges, Prints; Millinery, and Season Goods in general, wo have Just Opened a Job Lino of Boys', Youths', and small Men's Flax Shirts of Good Quality, at Is. each. The regular value of these is fully from Is. 9d. to 2s. 6d., at R. H. ABBOTT & CO., Karangahape Road, and Upper Symonds-street riHAS. ~YJ^T ILLIAMSO N, HOUSE, LAND & COMMISSION AGENT, 83, QUEEN-STREET. Bankers: NATIONAL BANK OF NEW ZEALAND. TELEPHONE NUMBER-181.
