PARLIAMENTARY.

THE FIRST NIGHT'S SITTING

(BY TELEGRAPH—PARLIAMENTARY. REPORTER.)

Wellington", this day. The House met at 7.30 lasfcnichb, and there were nearly 90 members present. Sir M. O'Rorko presided.

Tno New Members.

The following members took the oath and their seats: MessrsCadman, Duncan, Fish, Graham, Sir J. Hall, Hodgkinson, Jackson, Kelly, Levestam, MoKenzie (Waihemo), O'Connor, Ormond, Pyke, Seddon and Tanner.

Speech from the Throne,

A message was received from His Ex cellency tho Governor, announcing his inability to attend till 2 o'clock the following day for the purpose of declaring in person his reasons for calling Parliament together.

Ministerial Statement.

The Premier (Major Atkinson) said : By permission of the House, I should say a few words. When the House last met 1 had the honour to inform it that His Excellency had been pleased to send for me to ask me to construct a Government. I was not in a position, as I informed the House to take any steps till I consulted the gentlemen who had been returned pledged to retrenchment and against the policy of the late Government. After con sultation with that party, and that at its request, I undertook the formation of the Government. I succeeded in forming a Cabinet, the members of which are as fol lows : I am Premier and Colonial Treasurer, Mr Mitchelson is Minister for Public Works and is Native Minister : Mr Hislop is Colonial Secretary; Mr Fergus is Minis ter of Justice and Minister for De fence ; Mr Fisher is Minister for Educa tion ; Mi- 0. F. Richardson is Minis ter for Lands, Immigration and Mines. Sir F. Whitaker is in the Upper House as Attorney-General, and the Hon. Mr Stevens has taken a seat in the Legislative Council without portfolio. Sir, I propose to-morrow, after His Excellency lias an nounced his reasons for calling Parliament together, to state the course of business which the Government will ask the House to consider. I would now move that the House do now adjourn till two o'clock to morrow.

Sir Julius Vogel: I did not catch who was the Postmaster-General. The Premier : lam Postmaster-General. (Laughter.)

Order of Business.

Mr Seddon said he would like to ask the Premier whether it was his intention on the following day to move that the House do adjourn for a fortnight, as Southern steamers left early to-morrow. Ho might as well say they should all know, as they were all Government supporters nt present, ■what the intentions of the Government were.

Major Atkinson said that if it were for the convenience of the House he should be happy to make a statement, especially as he had such a large number of supporters. The course which the Government proposed to ask the House to follow was this: Next day they would meet for the purpose of hearing His Excellency's reasons for summoning- Parliament, and then the Go vernment would give notice of the Address in-Reply foi the following day, and for the necessary sessional committees. The com mittees would be appointed on Thursday, and the Address-in-lleply be discussed. As soon as it was debated, he would move the adjournment of the House till Friday fort night (the 28th inst.), in order to give him time to prepare the Financial Statement. Hβ undertook to submit a Statement to the House on that date, or at the latest he could not bind himself on so important a subject to a day—on the following Tuesday. He thought the House would agree with him that in view of the large changes that the country was de manding, a fortnight was only a very moderate time to perform such a task as that. ("Hear, hear.") It was tho course he should ask the House to follow on the next day.- Sir Julius Vogel said he had every desire to afford the new Government all the privi leges they had a right to ask, and not to embarrass them in any way, bub he should like to point out to the Premier that an adjournment till Friday fortnight really meant till the following Tuesday, or virtually three weeks. He hoped the hon. member would consider by to-morrow whether an adjournment till Tuesday week (25th inst.) would not suffice. If the Go vernment were not prepared to bring down the Financial Statement on that day, other business could bo gone on with. It must be a short session, as Christmas was draw ing near, and the arrangement he suggested would enable private members to get on with their bills.

"Sly Ormond said ho was only going to point out that the course proposed by tho Premier would best save- time, for if the Statement were in the hands of members on the Friday night they would be pre pared to debate it on the Tuesday following. Mr Seddon said that the last speaker had not caught what fell from the Premier, who had nob pledged himself te bring down the Statement en the Friday. He reminded the House of what had been done by the Stout- Vegel Ministry in 1884, and said neb enly had Major Atkinson had feur months to prepare his policy of retrenchment, but had the benefit of the report by tho Royal Commission on which to frame it. Unless the House got a pledge that the Statement would be down by Friday fortnight, Ministers could keep them dilly dallying, and Christmas would be here without anything being done. Mr Samuel had melancholy recollections of what occurred in 1884, when the House adjourned from day to day. He urged that Ministers should have ample time to formulate their policy, as it would be cer tain to be freely criticised. Mr Pyke urged that if the Statement were not brought down till the Tuesday a whole week would be lost. Ministers should be tied to bringing it down on the Friday so that the House on Tuesday would be prepared to consider it on its merits. Major Atkinson,' in reply, cdiild only say say that nobody could be more anxious than he to have the Financial Statement brought down and the session ended (laughter), but all members who knew any thing about the task he had been asked to perform would know that a fortnight was a very moderate demand, and that if he had asked for three weeks or a month, the House would not, in justice, have refused it. The parallel between now and 1884 would nob hold good, for then the Government accepted all his figures, while now ho had got to alter them for the last thirty years. He repeated that the time being now asked was most reasonable, and he was very much surprised at his moderation. If he suc ceeded in getting the Financial Statement down on Friday fortnight he would have ac complished a task which had never yet been accomplished in that House. He did not pledge himself to that day, but would do his utmost to get it down, and failing -that he pledged himself to the Tuesday follow ing. Sir Julius Vogel objected to the state ment going forth unchallenged that this Goveramonb came into ofßco with less dif ficulties than the late Ministry.

The motion for adjournment was then put and carried, and the House roee ati 8 p.m.

THE PAPAKURA EVICTION.

EVIDENCE BY THE CHILDREN AND

ADJACENT SETTLERS

THE GERMANS COMMITTED

FOR TRIAL,

THE CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST

MR WHITE WITHDRAWN

The following evidence was taken in this case at the Papakura R.M. Court yesterday, subsequent to our going to press : —

Evidence of Walter Alfred White con tinued : His knife and keys he had nob yet recovered. Witness saw his children running from the house. His tobacco and matches were found on the ground. While strapped witness was seen by Mr Allen, Thomas McLennan, and Whitechurches (2). While detained witness suffered much from the cold. About 2 o'clock next morning wit ness found that his wrist had been sprained, pains in the head as if from a blow, and soreness under the jaw. The arms showed a blood mark where the strap had been. His hands were also swollen. When his daughter brought the tea she covered him with bags to keep him warm. When re leased, it was some time before he could stand properly. Hench was the only one of the prisoners whom witness knew prior to the assault. Subsequently witness was rescued. He then got his horse, and rode after his children. At that time the Germans were all in his house, and the goods all scattered about, outside. Wit ness, in company with others, next visited the farm on the 30th of September. The house was locked up, the back doors barri caded, and the windows fastened down. His goods were still scattered about ouc side. Witness was still out of possession of the farm.

Mr Cooper cross-examined this witness ab great length. He stated that he agreed to board Mr Halliwell in lieu of a portion of the rent of the farm of 200 acres. Ho did recoivc a letter from Mr Halliwoll telling him nob to coino from Hunua. That was after the farm had been agreed about. Witness did not opon the letter for about three weeks after receiving it. By Mr Napier: Ho took proceedings against the prisoners before Mr Halliwell took proceedings against himself for threatening him with au nxo. By the Bench : He had not yet paid over any'rent to Mr Hnlliwell. He had not time to use the axe before the Germans seized him. Mr Hench wanted to buy the farm over witness's head. He considered that he was still entitled to possession of the farm. Frederick Mochine, a German aged 75 years, deposed that he resided near Mr Halliwell's farm. He had the use of 10 acres of Mr Halliwell's farm for five yoara for no rent on condition that he fencod and cultivated the same. On the Sunday before the occurrence Mr Halliwell said that ho would taico out the windows and doors of the house in order to get the Whites out of if. On the following Tuesday Mr Halliwell asked witness to meet him with some men at 3 o'clock the next day to help to get the goods out of the house. He said that he could not agree with White any longer. Witness believed it was on account of the row about the girl. Mr Halliwell said White would not give him anything to eai and pitchod his bed outsido. Witness did not assist, at the ejectment. Aboufe four o'clock on the afternoon of the 21sb inst., ho saw White's children running towards his bouse. They shouted out, " Oh, they are killing father." Witness then went down to White's house. He saw White lying in the front of the cowshed. His arms were strapped. The four prisoners were near him. Ho saw William Bartholdy take some keys out of Mr White's pocket and give them to Mr Halliwell. Two of them, William and Carl Bartholdy, dragged Mr White under the shed. Wit new then went home for his tea. Upon returning between seven and eight o'clock, he found Mr White still bound.

Agnes White, daughter of the complain ant, deposed that she was 15 years of ago. On the 21st September witness was at homo. Between three and four o'clock eho saw a German coming towards the house with Mr Halliwell. It was William Bartholdy. He entered the dairy. Witness's father then went out to him. She saw three other Germans run round the corner. Hench was the last. Witness ran away and " screeched " out. She saw them seize her father and take a stick out of his hands. They took him up and carried him towards the cowshed. Witness ran away then with her brothers and eisters. Shortly after wards witness went back. She found her lather in tho stockyard in one of the bails. Some of the Germans were with him. Sho saw William Bartholdy with a horn in his hands. When she came back her father's goods were placed outside the house. She was frightened, as she thought they were going to kill her father. Mr Cooper also cross-examined this wit ness. Sho knew that Carl Bartholdy went for Constable McKnighfc. Jane White, aged 11, gave corroborative evidence. She heard one of the Germans blow a horn, and then the other Germans came round the corner and took the stick from her father. Witness ran up the pad dock, and she saw all the Germans set oh to her father. They had him down. She heard her father sing out " Murder !" One of the Germans also had a hammer. Wit ness and the other children then walked on to Hunua, and got there about 8 o'clock at night. By Mr Cooper : She heard her father call out, " Roy ! Roy ! the axe." The Germane took the axe from him. Her father told them before he went out of the sitting room that if the Germans touched him ho would touch them.

By the Bench : She was afraid the Ger mans would tie her down.

Walter White, son of the prosecutor, de posed that he resided on a farm at Hunua owned by hfs father. On the morning of the 22nd of September his brothers and sisters came to his place. In consequence of what they told him he oame into Papa kura ,to see his father. When he gob there he saw a lot of things lying out in the cow shed. Witness saw Carl Bartholdy milking the cowe.

John Laing, farmer at Papakura, deposed to seeing Mr White's children on his verandah on the afternoon of the 21st of September. They told him that someone was killing their father. An hour after wards witness went down to White's farm. He found White tied up in a cowbail. Hench, Carl Bartholdy, and Wallech were there, apparently on guard,, Witness saw household goods scattered about outside. Witness told Carl that he had made a mis take in acting in such a manner. He pleaded ignorance, and said that Mr Halli well had employed him as a day labourer. He saw Hench come out of tho house and ask Agnes White to come in and have some tea, but her father would not permit her. About 8.30 O'clock White was untied. Hβ had abrasions on both arms.

By Mr Cooper: Senob said tlmt they had eenfc for tho police, as HftlUweU'e U/e had been threatened by White, He gave fchafc as tho reason White wae tied up, Hβ did nofc hear Heneh offer White a oup of teo>

By fchd Beuoh j Carl said he ww hired by HftHlweU to pufc White oyfe of Hn? hourie, The and &d* mifefced fchftb they were pneaged by Mr HalH. well, Ofliyen§ of th§ pree pmidi'tn was ppsyjdejd, wifeh J»afc§ and when they parrje to wifcnees'e hease. They were etyiog lOddly,

Thomas McLennan, farm labourer in the employ of the last witness, deposed to ac comparing Mr Laing to Whites houße on the night in question. Hi* evidence vu merely corroborative of that already given. Roderick Bvemner, farmer, P «P» k .™*' testified to seeing Mr White after 8 o clock on the night of the 21sfc S fP^ ber j r(O^ l * evidence also corroborated that already

William Jones, farmer, Hunua, deposed to seeing White's children at Htmua.about 8.50 o'clock on the night of fche Zlat of September. Witness, in company witfc George White and a young mftu named Uill,"started for Papakura They culled for Constable McKnight, and told him what had happened, bub the constable did not come with them. About 1.30 or 2 ejjj the 22nd they arrived afc Mr Whitea farm. Did not ccc Mr WJute. He saw the goods scattered outside. IJiey stayed in the cow-shed until dayligbfc, about 6 o'clock, when fchey starfcedfor home. He then saw William and Carl Barthoidy and Mr Halliwell come out ot the house. George Hill gave corroborative evidence. Constable Andrew McKntght deposed to arresting the four accused on the 29fcli p of September. They were charged with assault and forcible entry on Alfred White's premises. He found after wards that a note had been left at his house from Mr Halliweil, asking him to come up and arrest White. Both HalkwoU and White wanted him to arrest each other. Witness told them to lay an information in the ordinary way. This concluded the case for the prosecu tion, j Some of the evidence was then redd over to the witnesses for the after which the Court adjourned at 5.30 o clock for an hour, when most of those present ad journed to the Papakura Hotel, where an excellent tea was provided. When the Court resumed (by candle light) tho remainder of the evidence was read over. The Bench then duly cautioned the prisoners. Mr Cooper said that ho understood that tho Bench were prepared to commit the prisoners. Captain Jackson ; Yes, that is so. Mr Cooper said that under tho circum stances the prisoners would reserve their defence.

The Bench then committed the prisoners to take their trial at the next Criminal Sittings of tho Supremo Court holden in Auckland. Bail was allowed the prisoners each in £70 and two sureties of £30 each. The prisoner Wallech was allowed 43 hours' liberty on bis own re cognisance for the purpose of oecuring bail for the two Bartholdys. The prisoner Hench had bailsmen forthcoming. Mr Napier said that the charge of violent assault would not bo proceeded with in that Court, as tho evidence was the name. The indictment would simply bo presented to the Grand Jury. Mr Cooper said that tho charge of assault preferred by Mr Halliwell against Mr Walter Alfred White would be withdrawn. Mr Napier applied for costs in that case. Mr Cooper objected. The Bench ruled that ns Mr Halliwell appeared to have been the raain cause of the trouble, they would allow £1 Iβ costs to Mr Napier.

The Court then adjourned

HELPING HAND MISSION FREEMAN'S BAY.

The second annivorsary of thin now populai M ission was celebrated last evening with a monster ten, and afterwards a public meet ing. Tho gathering was all that the moat sanguine of the Mission-workers could have anticipated. Friends of the various churches came from fai and near to chow their warm sympathy in this excellent enter prise. The minister? who favoured themeet ing with their presence and took posibionson the platform were the Revs. H. Bull, W. Gittos and A. J. Smith. The whole pro ceedings were of a lively character. As was expected, the workers had no cut and dry report* to present, which is usual at most anniversaries, but trusted bo the testimonies of the men and women who have been Raved during the year saved from drunkenness, and from sin in its worst forms, and were there changed and in their right mind, and being converted, showed pictures of lives pure and good, elevated by coming into contact with the Gospel. Addresses of a stirring nature were given by ministers and laymen, and all were calculated to mouse the careless and strengthen those already entered on the new way. The testimony given at the close of tho meeting by those who had received good in the Mission wfis tho happiest feature of the whole proceedings. There was excellent order, and the singing was enchanting.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Tramway.

(Tβ the Editor.)

Sir, —I see by your paper that the directers of the Tramway Company are talking about buying more land and extending the lines. Now, sir, I think that instead w£ doing so it would bo the right thing to give tho poor, long-suffering shareholders a aiv.£ dend. It would do the Company good &s well as the shareholders. The public would see that there is money in it and eagerly buy up any unsold shares, instead of ftneir saying "ft is a duffer."—l am, yours, etc-. Shareholder.

The Beresford-st. Anniversary.

(To the Editor.)

Sxk,—ln last night's? issue, in the report of the Beresford-street Congregational Sun day-school anniversary, it is euggeeted to repeat one of the services. Personally I see no reason for so doing. Report states, in spite of the aspect of the weather, each service was well-attended, and thin is borno out by the practical manner in which the friends of our Sunday-schools contributed to the Collection. £30 is an item to be grateful for in this time of depression. A potent reason for not repeating the service is the following : — Alexandra-street, a sister school in the Auckland Sunday school Union, hold their anniversary next Sunday, and this was given out at Beresford-street. The pastor and many friends were present last Sunday at the services, showing their sympathy witli co-workers. Now, Sir, in return will it be fair play to divide the audiences, and per haps create division of feeling, instead of cementing together the common interests of our noble work ? What is tho name "Union" worth unless the meaning is fully practised ? I feel certain thab tho es teemed pastor and energetic superintendent of Beresford-street have only to think wisely, with their staff of teachers, to arrive at the right deoieion.— Yours, &c., "TSxhV Eaok Otheb."
