VOLUNTEER TROUBLES.

The Devonport Navals Fight Their Battles O'er Again.

•A VERY ROWDY MEETING,

Tue adjoHrr»sd meeting of tho Devonport •Navalil*oid in theDietrict Hall laato\'cning, ireaulttpd in one of tho most uneoemly dl&plays witnessed thero far many a day, notwithetanding that the general tono of North Shoro meetings is rather " breozy." This groat elocutionary storm did not take anyone by surprise, bo causo the premonitory Eigns had been very threatening. The Navals mustered vory strongly, there being present:—Cap tain Fenton, Lieutenants Dacre and Duder, and about SO men. The presa was also woll represented, much to tho delight of tha majority, while ono or two objectiona wero made, and our representative waa strongly qirged to " stick inside," no matter whether "requested to leave or not. In tho <jventof being turned out, tho reporters wo-o •quietly furnished with a vory minute plan •of all tbe cracks and keyholes, back doors •and windows, and the probability of the ■newspapers being " euchred" appeared vory meogro. All this, of couree, w;ia bo reco tho actual business of tho evening com "inoncod. About eight o'clock tho Company formed in lino, anil tlion wont through tho usual diill, and a Utile i.itor Colonel Lyon, Captain Commandant l_.eKuy, and Captain Uerrard (holdiug mi honoinry position in t-ho D.N.A.) ap(ioiireil upon tho aceno. f.B&RGIi OF JNSU.BORDS.NATIOW. - Proceedings llion becnuio moro intorest 'iug, na thot'olonol was ox pec led to givo hia ruling un a charge of insubordination mado •3|-;aiu_ Secretary Opinley by Captain Ronton. Tho roportors had their nuto-books •out in i» twinkling, but aftor a hurried con sultation amongst tho c Ulcere, the scribes voce.poiitoly informed by Cop tain Gerrard c.but "tho mooting was a,privato one and no visitors woro allowed." To savo tho threatened storm, the rcportora bowed their •acknowledgments and lyfl. A few seconds Cater thoy wero invited insido again, but on this occasion Captain LoKoy came to 'ho chargo, and tho scribes again " obeyed ordero."

Colonel Lyon then ivJdressed tbo Co_ potty at length. Ho said that whilst Cap tiain Fenton had been on leave of absence, •'and tbo Company was in charge ol Lieut. •Daore. Secretary iSpinley had inserted avt advertisement in the newspapora •jailing a mealing of tho Company fp?_ ore tho date fixed lor the mooting Captain Fenton resumed com mand, and requested Secretary Spinlev to withdraw the advertisement. Tbe Secre tary was under tho impression that Lieu tenant Dacro waa etil! in command, and declined to accedo to tbe Captain's request. Captain Fontou thereupon charged tlio Secretary with ioaubordination. Colonol Lyon Baid ho regretted that so much had been make out of a small matter, and ha considered it a pity that Cap tain Fenton had not allowed the affair tv drop. Ho was eorry to see that Silo Company bad held a somewhat riieordeily mooting, and allowed reports re flecting upon themselves to appear in iho daily papors. Sailors, as a rule, wero ro yarded as a jolly Pet of follows, and be hoped the members would smooth mattors over now, and go about their work without any grumbling. Colonel Lyon concluded . *iis remarks by expressing a hope that the rmeiness to bo diacu-sjd at tho adjourned ; annual mooting to be held alter driil would be proceeded with in an orderly manner. Captain Fenton agreed to tho suggestions made by the Colonel, and the insubordina tion business waa thua disposed of. THE FINANCIAL ROW. Once again tho reporters wore invited to appear, and the> were accommodated at a table near tho platform. Captain Fenton, who occupied the chair, stated that in accordance with the expreeeed desire of tho men, j ho had asked for accounts as to am- ] munition used, but they had not been | sent in, and the meeting was just left where j it waa at the previous adjournment. With j reference to the receipt for . 'J6 paid to | Petty Officer Fenton on ac:ount of tho Company's uniforms, he understood that it had been «iven to Secretary Spiuley twice | over. j Secretary Spinley denied that this was the case, I Lioutenanfc Dacro proposed that tbo I balance-sheet be read. . I Ono of the Company here ro;o and wished to know who was in tho chair. Ho proposed that Lioutenant Dacre take the chair. i Captain Garrard : This is outrageous and j unmilitary, and I protoat against Captain ' Fenton leaving tho chair, (Uproar). I Captain Fonton : You need not disturb yoursolvei, mon. By virtue of my office I , hold tho chair, and 1 tell you I moan to hold it. (Hear, hoar, and dissent). \ & member here tpiostiontd Captain ; Garrard's right to intenore, and the latter j laid that as an honorary member it was bis j place to assist the commanding ofiicor and 800 that thiugß were carried out properly. (Question.) Secretary Spinley urged that Captain Gerrnrd was expected to assist tho com pandor of the battalion, and not tbe Com pany. (Hear, heur.) Captain Fenton : 1 order both of you to desist. The motion for reading the balance-sheet was carried, and the items, of which wo previously gave a summary, wore read.

THE AMMUNITION ACCOUNT. Secretary Spinley referred to an itoin of £20 4s fid claimed on ammunition account. Captain Gorrard : How do you arrive at your figures V Secretary Spinley explained that Captain Gerrard aod Petty Officer A. E. Fenton had charge of the ammunition for three years. He went into figures at some length to show how the item ol £20 4s 6d was mado up. Captain Gerrard : Well, I think on tho faco of it, our Secretary is a good one, but, so holp me bob. ho is a disgrace— (uproar)—for hois molting tbe?o statements without haviug fncts beforo him. Have wo Hied one-third of tho matches we did two years ago V I consider you assume a posi tion you havo oo grounds to take what ever. Some argument with reference to am munition figures then enßued between tbe Secretary and Captain Gerrard, the latter urging that the ammunition had boen die posed of with due care. Captain Gerrard: This is ono of the gieatost pieces of rot, and Jia simply got up because I am on the aide of Captain Fenton, and it is got up by a " thing "—(pointing Bcornfully at the Secietary)— not by a man, j (Groat uproar, aod cries of Order.) ! Secretary Spinley : I think it quite right that the Company should know what be- , come 3of its ammunition. (Hear, hear). j

Captain Gerrard : Lot of rot I Lieutenant Dacre : I think the officers in charge of the ammunition should have sup plied accounts, and not ha'e put the Secre tary to any trouble in the matter. In answer to a question Captain Fenton said that Captain Gerrard had been asked to send in a return, but had not done co. He now promised to send it in next day, and thought that matter could be disposed

of. . , . Lioutonant Dacre haviug again spoken of , his own futile efforts to get things set straight, Captain Gerrard denounced the matter as a big talk over a very paltry affair, and, having roundly abused Lieut, j Dacre and threatened to wring the Secre tary's neck, he walked out of the hall amidst j hooting and general uproar. Lieutenant Dacre : Well, I'm sorry it has come to this. I move that the balance sheet be considered. Secretary Spinley at thia stage placed before the mooting vouchers for ammuni tion disposed of during the last six months, since he had taken over charge of that de partment, i DISPENSING WITH THE BAND. Petty Officer Greenwood wished to know if there was any agreement between the Company and the band, and was informed that a verbal agreement ex isted, by which the band got £25 a year. A lengAy discussion took place, and the services rendered by the Band being considered unsatisfactory and costly, a resolution waa adopted dispeosmg with their services on the expiry of the year. THE AUDITORS' REPORT. Seaman McSweoney submitted a motion for the production of the ammunition ac counts on Monday next, but tbe motion was allowed to drop on Captain lenton pro mising to see the matter fairly dealt with. On the motion of Lieut Dacie.the auditors account was read. Tha report was signed by Potty-officers North and Black, and stated that they had examined the books and payments, but could not see their way clear to pass them, as they had no vouchers for certain items For instance, there was the sum of £9o 10s 3d returned aa having been pad t> A. F. Fenton, and there was no mn.tio.i of what tins ac count was for. [Captain Fenton : That waa for the uniforms you are now wealing. men.] The ball account showed a loss of £9 12a 9d, and they failed to see how such a deficiency was possible. Then there

j bookß were in Sirst-claea order, and reflsctei I credit ol", tho Secretary, j Secretary Spinley stated that bo had j mado repeated application to A. E. Fenton lor his accounts, and last tini3 was told to do something very unpleasant. (Laughter). Captain Fenton : Arid you dilln't like the luxury. (Laughter). Captain Fenton here submitted a etatemtht of uccounts comp led by himself, in order, as ho said, to show that he had not made anything out of the Company, On the contrary, bo assured the mon that he had lost considerably, A VERY SELECT BALL. Information waa asked re tho " ball " ro ferred to in tho auditors' account, and tho Secretary stated that the invoices furnished by the Committee were so muddled up that ho cjuld neither mako head nor tail of them. Ho found that tho exponsea had been £11 11a 10d. Thero waa 123 Hi taken at the door, and £2 15a received for tickets. A voice : And who was at tho ball ? The Secretary : Only tho Committee, I think. (Laughter.) A voice : And yet they had £3 worth of beor and 15 dozen .rated waters. How much ia that amongst ten or a do?on ? '(Laughter.) A inembor of tho Cora.oittßQ eilid that nono of tho odicora catno to tho ball oxcopt Lieut. Dacro, and tho Committee had a quiet ! little party, I Liouteuant Dacro movod and Potty Olliccr tiieouwood aocomled, " That tho ball report Ijo referredbaektothoCommittee."

THE ARREST OF THE REASON BY RIFLE OFFICERS DECLARED IL LEGAL.

The argUa eyo of a diomber of tho legal profe.s:ion lias discerned that " a battalion ahull consist of not lesa than six companies, or moro than ton," and as Litiitonant Colonel MihOTi'a command haa never em braced moro than live, viz , the New ton, Veteran, Ponsonby, CotlcgO and Gordon, it is contended that it novor constituted a battalion. Ergo, thero cun bo nb battalion commander, and the arrests mado on Wednesday iaet arc, therefore, a mere farce. Wo understand, bowevor, thai. Captain McDonald dooa not intend to lot. tho matter roet here, but in tends, if ho finds legal ground for action, to proceed for illegal arrost

TELEGRAMS.

The Wreck of the LylteUou. Wellington, tbis day.—The defenr.o in tho Lyttelton case bej^an this morning, counsel claiming a non suit on a number of grounds, principally that it was not proved that tbo Company Waa incorporated, that no notice of action hod beon given by the plaintiff, that tho Board were not liable, and that no actual negligence bad been proved. The jury \Vere dismissed till Mon day, while these points aro being argued. Hybrid Oysters Again. In the R M. Court the point was raised j that some Auckland oysters eeizbd by the j police wero not rock oyslora because thoy ! i;rew on kelp. Tho witnesses for the pro tjtecution Raul thoy wore rock oysters pluckod in tho close soaaoi and put into mud. Tho 1 cose was adjournod to get tho evidence of Dr. Hector aa an expert whether thoy wero really rock oysters. DuNhDiN, this day. Cilbort and Sullivnn'3 " lolantho, or The Peer and tho Peri," was performed by Williamson, Garner, and Muagrove'a Opera Company last night. It delighted ovory body. Elaa May, Alice Burnett, and Howard Vernon were loudly applauded. Tho scenery was marvellous.
