SUDDEN DEATH.

Mrs O'Snllivan, wife of a warder at the Lunatic Asylum, died suddenly at her resi dence, Newmarket, yesterday afternoon. Though she had been ailing for some time those who came in contract with her hacl-no reason to apprehend a speedy termination of her life.* Yesterday afternoon she ex claimed " I am dying " and expired in a few minutes. In her hand was found a bottle containing some powder, but there was nothing on the bottle to indicate what the drug was. Dr. McKellar was summoned but when he arrived the woman was dead. An inquest is proceeding this afternoon.

HARBOUR LEASES.

W& Claim for Relief, 'mm

The following letter was read at the Har bour Board this afternoon :—

"Gentlemen, — We, the undersigned tenants of your property in Customs-street, respectfully beg to lay our case before you. On the 31st January, ISB2, we leased from the Board our respective allotments at the then ruling market rates, agreeing to your stipulations, terms and clauses, which we were made aware of by the auctioneer selling. We also accepted the cove nant ■ for an increase by 50 per cent, of the rent after twenty-one years. For nearly 5 years we have paid to you our respective rents, and we are well aware that if one or more of us had adversities, i.e., succumbed—his or their leases would, as in the case of several City Corporations, have to be cancelled by you, but as there was not a case amongst us, and none of us hav ing yet been obliged to relinquish his lease to you, you have been vary fortunate in deed. We do not come before you as peti tioners for reasons known only and felt by us, but even you must admit that in arranging for an increased rental after 21 years, a steady growth in value was con templated by yourselves, but instead of property increasing in value it has de creased considerably, so that it would be folly for any of us at the present rental to build on our leaseholds even without the stipulated rise of rents in the future. The times and circumstances in New Zealand generally, but in Auckland particu larly, have so changed that land considered five years ago cheap or reason able in price turns out to be excessive and quite unmarketable, so that most of us having property, viz., land and houses in different parts of Auckland, have been obliged to reduce the rents 40 to 50 per cent. We could have argued with our tenants the agreement is binding, but we feel that the pleadings of our tenants were only too well borne out, and we wanted to keep proved tenants. Nothing was left for us but to make such allowance as would put our tenants in position to pay renbs in conformity with the times. Now, had we insisted upon events as per agree ment, we might have succeeded in ruining a number of our fellows, and even after their exhaustion and depression we would not have been able to get from new tenants more than was pro posed by those we should have ruined. Our case in connection with you stands even worse, for you will sco that, through our inability to utilise your land, five years of our lease have already expired, and when you consider at the end of the term of 45 years wo cannot expect one penny of com pensation for any building erected on the land, it would simply mean ruin to us unless you can give us alleviation by making the terms easier by lowering the present rent and by detecting the clauses, increasing it after the period of 21 years, and also compensat ing us for substantial buildings, we might require to erect upon the land. In asking you to consider and to act upon this our request we are only asking for that practical concession which every landlord has had to grant to his tenants to meetthe bad times and to battle against such change as it requires from a prosperous to a ruinous period. It should entitle us to expect that you, as a body with responsibilities to the public and to the Harbour Board, creditors to which we are not blind, will act as fairly as you would were you private individuals—for we urge, those facts which must have been ex perienced by each of you gentlemen, and we think there can be no satisfaction to any of you as individual members, nor to the Board as a whole, by keeping us to terms which will surely ruin us and involve serious disaster, but which ever way it turns out to be, will still not enable you to maintain the terms of tho existing agreement. (Signed) Hermam Brown, chairman of the former deputations.

Mr Philips intimated that in the event of costs or damages being awarded against the Auck land Corporation, they would look to the Borough of Newton to refund the amount. To this Mr Currie had replied, denying all liability on the part of Newton Borough Council, and asking to be furnished with information as to the Act of Parliament and clause thereof under which the Auckland Corporation considered them to bo re sponsible for the state of Richmond Road. The Council approved of this action. Nioiitsoil Contract.—Mr Henry Gash, the contractor for tho removal of nightsoil within the borough, wrote complaining that Messrs M. Casey and Stookley were collect ing nightsoil in the districts included in the contract.

ONEHUNGA BOROUGH COUN CIL.

The fortnighrly meeting of the above Council was held in the Council Chambers yesterday evening. Present: Councillors Hill, Roe, Sheldsick, Jackson, Tapp, Keehan, Hill, Wilson, and Goldsbury. In the absence of tho Mayor Councillor Wilson was voted to the chair. The Finance and general purposes Committee's report was read and agreed to by the Council as follows:—That Mrs Coxon's application to slaughter small cattle on her premises in Queen-street be refused. Correspondence. — A letter was read from Mr A Hutchinson and another from Mr J. Jones, complaining of the bad state of the footpaths in Katherine, Arthur, and Church streets.—Referred to Streets Com mittee to deal with as they might think fit. From K. P. Hollis, applying for renewal of slaughter-house license recently occupied by Mr Buckland— granted. From Property Tax Commissioner, Wellington' informing the Council that a cheque to the amount of L2s' had been placed in tho bank to the Council's credit, from Brookfield and Son, solicitors, -re • Bright's lease. —That as no lease had been signed Bright should receive notice to quit. From I. Coombe, Resident Engineer, notifying a desh*e to extend their siding at Mount Smart gravel-pit. Accounts. — The usual accounts were submitted and payment authorised. Water works : Councillor Jackson objected to the clause in the advertisement, re water works loan, referring to the interest and sinking fund being a first charge on the general rate, as it was misleading. The burgesses never haying sanctioned it. Consequently tenderers would be placed in a false posi tion, and that a number of the councellors were aware of this at the time. Stand ing orders were now suspended to discuss the matter. The Chairman stated, that from good legal authority, he had ascer tained that the first poll taken was de cidedly abandoned when the two-subsequent polls for special rate were not carried. Consequently there was no provision made to secure tenderers a return of their money, Councillor Shaldrich then why did this Council ever calle for a contract. The chair man then moved, that the best legal opinion in Auckland be taken on the matter before the Council became any further involved.— Cr. Jackson would not second this having already got the legal opinion of the Mayor, rather let us wait till we are refused as by asking legal opinion .shows doubt amongst ourselves. Crs. Keehan and Rowe (simultaneously), "We are in great doubt," Cr. Tapp. If our doings in this matter have been illegal, who will have to pay for it? The Chairman's motion was then put, and lost on division. Mangere Bridge.—Councillor Jackson moved that the Mangaro Road Board be informed, that as the action of tho Pub lic Works Department with reference to the future maintenance of the Mangare Bridge is not supported by law, that this Council will resist any demand for con-, tribution that may be made upon it to the very utmost, seconded by Councillor Keehan and carried •unanimously; - '•' *'' ■

Auckland, June 14,1557. John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal, rbelievc you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended. Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal sooii caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to got away, and at onse took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plainod of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a dilricult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. '■V ' ~~~^ Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou'd be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy nim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for him, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER, Orphan Home, Parneli, May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meal, having used it for some time. The children all like the Patent Porridge Meal better than' anything they have had before. We thank you for supplying a long-felt want-a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all the most valuable properties o£ the wheat.—l am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) E. NEARY, Matron.
