COST OF THE NATIVE DEPARTMENT.

The Government Reply to

..barges

We are indebted to the Hon, J. A. Tole, Minister of Justice, for copies of tho follow ing telegrams addressed to him by the Hon. J. Ballance, Minister of Nativo Affairs :—

"Vukers's letter a tissue of misrepre sentation. The McLean period, wibli which comparison made shows suppression of num ber of salaries and excludes enormous sub departments (.cattered over North Island, doing work now centred in Wellington. SincepresenbMinistiyinofficeL2,ooomedical assistance aud charitable aid formerly on annual appropriations now charged to civil list. Four clerk interpreters in head office being trained and about to be attached to Commissioners under vote taken for Native Land Administration Act, leaving office with less assistance than for long time, though at present a rush of Nabive Land Court business. The total expenditure civil list and appropriations combined much less than in previous years. Financial statement showed, without taking into account Fox's vote, appropriation of L3OOO less than previous year. Shall send you later the quarter's expenditure, showing we have kept well within bhe vote. In fact, have ascertained that tho expenditure, Civil, District, Native, and Land Court appmtions will be actually 1.0000 less than expenditure last year on samo purposes, through bhe changes made in getting rid of useless and highly paid officers, and re ducing travelling expenses, etc. I have always compared favourably native expend iture, including oivil list, with that of pre decessors. All this is capable of verifica tion, and you can make fullest use.—J. Bal__vxce."

"The following returns have been fur nished showing appropriation for the fol lowing periods of Civil list for natives, Native Department, Native Land Court:— 1883-4, L 30.118; 1886-7 (exclusive of Fox vote of L 2.000), L 27.830 ; 1887-8, L 24.828. The Treasury return of last quarter's ex penditure is L 5,312, or at rate of L 21,248 per annum. With changes now going on by way of reduction the total for year will nob exceed £20,000. The bulk of the expenditure is for Land Court work which is revenue-producing and cannot be materially reduced below pre sent amount about L 1,200. Tho expendi ture on Land Courb last year was nearly L 20.000. Reburn furnished of European officers in Native Department. Ist. July 1869, shows 34, costing L 8972. Present number of officers corresponding, 15, costing L3llO. Annual return expenditure 1569-70, Native Deparbmenb gives total L 33,299, and of this amounb only L6IBB was for Native Land Court. The Courb in two-years ending March last put bhrough 3£ million acres. Hansard vol. 55, page 460, gives Mr Bryce asking. '' Mr Bryce pointed oub bhab lasb year L 2,000 had been bransferred from Civil lisb bo bhis class, bub bins year bhere was no provision made for bhab on bhe esbimates Had the item gone back to the Civil list ? Mr Ballanbe replied that in consequence of savings which had been made in the Civil list, last year was now made to bear the sum of L 2,000 for medical officers, &c." This shows how savings on the Civil list have been used by transfer from appropriations. As a fact the savings ,in native department this year will be equal to £8,000 on last year ab leasb. The exbra clerks engaged by bhe day for exbra sessional work and usual arrears in consequence of session have almosb finished.—J. Balance.

SUPREME COURT. This Day.

Civil Sessions.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Ward, and a special jury of 12.) Claim ot £1,000 Damages Against City Council.

Daniel Arkell v. Mayor and Corporation of Auckland.—Claim, LI,OOO damages for injury to his properby in Gladstone street, by reason of earth and stones slipping, consequent upon bhe alleged negligence in tilling in of bhe gully. - Mr W. J. Napier (instructed by Messrs Hughes and George) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Thos. Cdtter (City Solicitor) for the de fendants.—Mr ,J. Aitken Connell was called as a juror, but failed to appear.— Mr Napier then opened the ease to tho jury, after which evidence was adduced. Mr Napier then read bhe correspondence which had passed between the claimant and defendants commencing May, .1886.— Daniel Arkell deposed that he was a beer bottler, carrying on business in Gladstone street, where he owned Lot 16. In May, 1886, he determined to erect a building thereon, and with a view to that end he first of all got Mr Baber to survey the ground. He then instructed Mr Keals to draw up the plans for a three-story 'building (plans pro duced). Gladstone-street was nob formed ab bhab time. It was a gully in front of his properby, and sloped upwards ab both sides. In bhe event of the levels being altered, he asked Mr Keals to pro vide for a retaining wall, and he wrote to the City Council offering to pay half the cost of erecting ib. After his application was sent in he met Crs. Garratt and Stevenson and Mr Anderson (City Engineer) on his property, and explained to them Avhat kind of a building he was going to put up and the proposed position for bhe wall. He subseqnenbly re ceived a lebter from the Council de clining to accede to his request. The conbracb for bhe building was leb on tho 10th June, 1886, to Mr Jullian, who began operations within three days, afterwards. The excavation for the foundation was com menced firsb of all. Witness lived on the property and saw the works progress from day to day. He saw that tho foundation was blue-stone, upou which concrete was laid down. The street re-j mained in its normal state until the un employed _were started to work upon it. They began to bring clay from one end of the street, and shoot it into the gully. About 20 men were employed doing this No drains were made, nor were any walls erected. The resulb of the operations of bhe unemployed was that a lob of the dirt camd against hi. building to a depbh of several

feet bfeiore the unemployed knocked off. After this the Council let the work of filling in to Attwood and Berry (contractors) and the same result continued. They made no provision for drainage and protecting his building against the pressure of the earth. He never saw the City Engineer present during the progress of the works. On Saturday, the 13th Ootober, the olay on the southern corner of the building had ripen to a height of between 15 and 17 feet, scoria having been placed between the clay and the building. Ho inspected the building and found it perfectly secure. There had been very heavy rains a few days before. On that Saturday fcllSy made earth of the filling sunk about four feet, and on the Sunday morning witness iound a large crack upon the upper floor of the building and on the wall facing St.- Benedict's Church. On the Monday morn ing ho made a fnrther evamination when he found that the brick partition wall at the back had also crack<__l. ' Up till that time he had never requested the Council to fill in olose to his building nor consented to their doing so. The contractor and architect made a more thorough examina tion by digging down to the foundations, which they found to be quite dry. In conse quence of the injury it had sustained it was not so safe a building as it would otherwise be. Cross-examined by Mr Cotter :—Beforje the building was commenced, the architect applied to the City Council for the street levels, but was unable to obtain them. He made no. provision for entrance to the old level of the street. The retaininc* wall was designed to receive the earth of the new level. He was quite sure that he was never asked to give his consent to the filling.—At this stage the Court ad journed till 2.10 p.m., when the judge and jurors set off for Gladstone-street to view the property.

DISTRICT COURT—THIS DAY.

(Beforo District Judge Seth Smith.)

The Epiphany Church Dispute. T. Holder v, the Rev. Dr. O'Callagiian AND __tE T_*.t_9__*E- OF THE EPIPHANY CHURCH.—CIaim, ±62 15s, for sen-ices ren dered as architect.—Mr Mahony appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Gover for the de fendants.—The evidence for the plaintiff., as continued. The first witness called was R. Vincent Ellis, architect and building sur veyor, who deposed that he examined thecon orete of the foundations and found it setting nicely. He was satisfied with the manner in which the buildinghadbeen put up. The witness here examined samples of concrete produced in Court, and said that the pro portions appeared all right, although it had not set. It might set in time, as there was a good proportion of lime in it.— By Mr Cover: The concrete produced would harden if placed in <_Snt_ct with damp. He Would hot like a wall of con crete unless it could get damped a little to cause it to set. He would not consider it very bad concrete. There was something wrong with the lime in the sample of con crete produced.—His Honor here examined the sample, and it broke to pieces between his fingers, although a year old. — It all depended upon the position of the building as to the time -which concrete took to set. The concrete produced might set in time. Tho bulk of the concrete was hardening: from thfe exterior inwards.—Ed mund Bell, architect, practising in Auck land, deposed that, in company with Messrs Ussher, Holder, Hobson and Fowler he examined the Epiphany Church last Satur day. Speaking generally, the concrete walls were substantial, although a hole had been knocked into one of them. Mr Ussher removed some of the earth around the concrete walls, and witness was enabled to examine the concrete. Mr Ussher used the pick on the wall, but made very little impression. Mr Ussher was a powerful man and struck the wall pretty hard. He also tried the internal walls with the pick. The internal walls had not set so hard as the external ones, still they looked all right. The external walls were harder than the interior ones simply because they had received more moisture. There were no signs of cracks visible in tho foundations. The concrete produced appeared quite rich enough. Concrete continued hardening for many years.—By Mr Gover :He should say that the sample of concrete produced was an average one. The average concrete, if dried too quickly, would be like the sample produced. Still, he should say it was not the best concrete. It appeared, if anything, to have too much lime in it. In valuing concrete, they must always con sider the position in which the concrete was placed. When Mr Ussher struck with the pickixe, he should have considered the average wall.—Draper Fowler, architect, deposed to having also examined the walls of the Church. He found the outer wall very solid and strong. He considered the concrete to be of very good quality, and it would, no doubt, increase in strength. He thonght that the walls would carry 10 times the weight ab present imposed upon them. Did not think a pick was a fail* test to such a wall. If anything, there was an excess of lime in the samples produced in court. The proportions appeared to be about 5 to 1.- Thomas Helson also gave evidence for the plaintiff He considered the founda tions quite strong enough for the build ing. He would nob he afraid to im pose a'much heavier weight upon such foundations. Ib was not bad concrete.

(Lefb Sitting.)

Reg. v. Aicken.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As you are doubbless, aware the accused was before bhe Courb on Friday on a charge of uttering a fortred cheque, and afber evidence was taken was discharged. I appeared for bhe defence,* and Mr Brook field, who.., prosecuted for the Bank -of New Zealand, declared his intention to have prisoner rearrested. He was accord ingly arrested this morning, and brought before the Court at ten oxlock (half-an hour before the usual time of sitting), and before he could communicate with me. The case was opened at length by Mr Brook field, and the evidence of one witness taken. The prisoner was then, in consequence of my absence, remanded for a week. I did not reach my office until 10.20thismorning, andl then for the first time learnt that the arrest had been made, and that the case was pro ceeding ; and it was so far closed before I reached the Court. I consider, sir, that an imputation of negligence would attach to me were I to allow the matter to pass un challenged. I cannot see any sufficient reason for the indecent haste indulged in by the prosecution, and will reserve further comment for the proper time and place; —I am, etc., J. O'Meagher. Monday, July 18th, 1886.
