THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

MS J- » SHEKA AT ST. JAMIiS'S HALL.

Last evening Mr J. M. Shera addressed another meeting of the electors of City West in St. James's Hall. There was a good attendance, Dr. Beale presiding in the absence of Mr G. Fraser, who sent an

apology. Mr Shera, on coming forward was re ceived with applause. He said that in entering into this contest ho had decided that under no circumstances would he make a personal attack upon anyone—no matter how great the provocation. He would continue in that spirit until the conclusion of the contest. He felt called upon to briefly refer to the grim and ghastly electioneering ioke which had recently been perpetrated. He did nob think either an English, Scotch or Irishman would have done it. Irishmen at times might have little respect for the living, bub he knew that they had too pro found a reverence for the dead to have taken part in such a joke. (Applause.) Mr Shera then went on _to review the leading principles of his platform, quoting from his first speech as reported in the Auckland Evening Stab. He referred to the compliment paid him by thololitical Financial Reform League in placing him first for Auckland West. He found, however, that all the names had since been endorsed by that intelligent society ._ .tie supposed that meant that they had round Mr David Goldie (one of the Vice-Presidents) guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, -and he would come up for judgment next Monday week at the ballot-box. Ihe go vernment now said that the people might have retrenchment if they wished, but he feared that a deathbed-like repentance had come too late. There was now a hope that Auckland was on the eve of a golden boom in the mining industry. Whether or no such was the case, he thought that immedi ate steps should be taken by the Go vernment to secure the land adjacent to the recent rind in the Waikato. Mr Shera then spoke in favour of local op tion with compensation. He reminded the audience that thei-e was the Nazarene as well as the Nazarite, and the followers of John the Baptist should not quarrel with those who chose to follow the Nazarene. While giving every honour to those who were banded together to reform the drunk ard, he must point out that the New Zealand Alliance wished to prohibit the liquor traffic without giving compensation. Mr Shera then alluded to the possibility of the liquor traffic, if stopped in its present form, being still continued in other manners. It would simply lessen the revenue, without stopping the drinking customs. Sly grog selling would pervade the whole community, while the boys from Killarney would find their way outhereand distil someof the Moun tain Dew. (Laughter.) Moral reformation was the only chance. It was no use trying to make men sober by Act of Parliament. Like Doctor Macgeo, he would sooner see " England free rather than sober and en slaved." He thought that the Government should promptly settle the land claims of the old soldiers. (Applause.) If returned, he would attend to that matter. It was rumoured that in the South Kaffirs were to be imported to shear the sheep. A £50 poll tax should be promptly put on. Mr Shera then proceeded to speak upon pro tection. He regretted that _he was forced to refer to an election note which appeared in last night's Star. He had no fault to find with the Staii, for it always gave fair play to candidates. The note he referred to was called " A Rumpus in the Industrial Association." He read the quotation, saying that he thought it smacked of the skull and cross bones. (Laughter.) The fact was that there existed in Auckland a Trades arid Labour Council as well as an Industrial Association. These two appointed an equal number of delegates to. select can didates. Last week these plenipotentiaries met without making a selection, although the note said that Mr Goldie had been chosen for Auckland West. The meeting was adjourned until Saturday, when the decision was in his own favour. Mr Shera then read a letter which appeared in last night's Star, which he said he believed was quite true, and fully explained the matter. He referred to the alteration of the candi dates selected as made at the meeting of the Industrial Association meeting on Wednes day night. He said that the Association had been deceived by a deliberately false statement,which was to the effect that three of his committee were amongst the delegates. Stranger still, that had not been denied. lie was sorry for the Industrial Association, for he thought the constitution was defective. They should not admit persons who were neither manufacturers nor artisans. As he was neither, he had not joined, and ha did not believe either Mr Bell or Mr Hodge were manufacturers or artisans, and they had appeared to upset the matter on Wednesday night. Well, he would have been glad of the support of the Industrial Association, but still he would rather have the sup port ot the Trades and Labour Coun cil and the workers of Auckland "West. Mr Shera next dealt with the matter of protection, quoting his remarks on a previous occasion as reported in the Star. He also referred to work done by himself in the past in the interests of pro tection, and quoted from the speech delivered by Mr Blair to the Christchurch Industrial Association. Mr Shera con cluded his interesting address by an eloquent peroration upon the dignity of knoiir.

Questions. la answer to questions Mr Shera said : fj He was aware that the Kaffirs were ritish subjects, but he was also aware of the necessity of protecting the New Zealand labourers. (2) He believed in a national system of education, and could not see how they could have at the same time a denomin ational system; still he would consider care fully any bill brought forward calculated to deal with the question of assisting Roman Catholic schools if up to the standard. (3) He could hardly say that he would favour deporting present and past Minis ters to New Guinea or any other warm place. In the ordinary course of events they might go there of themselves. (4) He would like to see Government House and grounds utilised some way or other. (5) When a member of the firm of Mc- Arthur, Shera and Co., he never gave in structions not to employ Roman Catholics. He never asked the religious views of any man he ever engaged. (Applause.) (6) He would support anEight Hours Bill. (7) He would not prohibit barmaids in hotels. He would not shut any door by means of which women might earn an honest livelihood. (3) He would not support the leas ing of the Roman Catholic Symonds gtreet Cemetery. (9) In answer to the question Avhether he would try to stop employers such as Mr Fraser from having 9 men and 40 boys, Mr Shera said that a proper protective policy would rectify that. (10) He did not see why Chairmen of Committees should receive £100 in addition to the honorarium. (11) He thought that the Speaker's salary and allowance must be reduced. (12) He would support sub stantial fines on houses of ill-fame, so as to have a deterrent effect. (13) He was" in favour of a recognition in the public schools of a religion of some kind, and would therefore advocate hanging a copy of the ten commandments in the school-room, also in the Board of Education rooms.

Mr W. Brabazon moved, and Mr J. O'Meagher seconded. "That this meeting ac cords a 5 vote of thanks to Mr Shera for his speech just delivered, and also expresses its confidence in him as their future repre sentative."

The motion was carried with loud ap plause, after which a vote of thanks to the chair concluded the proceedings.

R.M. COURT.

(Before H. G. Seth Smith, Esq., R.M.) Undefended Casks.—ln the following cases Judgment went by default for the plain tiffs :-A. H= Nathan v. A. Walker, £15 0s 6d and £2 7s 0d costs ; Ireland Bros. v. J. McFarland, £4 13a 7d and £1 2s 6d costs ; R. Rew v. Mrs LeslSe, £2 4s 6d and £1 7s 6d costs; H. M. Jaciksou /. C. Wallnutt, £3 3s Od and 11s eo^is ; E. Richards v. J. Ball, £10 and £1 17s Od costs; North New Zealand Co-operative Association v. G. Kay, £4 10s Od and £1 7s 6d costs ; same v. R. H. Barugh, £2 10s and 30s 6d costs ; W. Moir v. D. Grubb, £36 13s 9d and £4 18s costs; J. Lamb v. W. C. Ryland, £10 16s and £2 7s costs. DEFENDED CASES. Dr. H. Walker v. D. Lindsay.—Claim, 30s for medical attendance.— Mr E. W. Burton for the plaintiff, Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant. The claim was for three medical visits alleged to have been made more than 12 months ago. For the defence it was averred that Dr. Walker only paid one visit, and that he was paid for it at the time. After evidence had been given by plaintiff, and Miss JLindsay and Mrs Lindsay (both defendant's -witnesses having come up from the Thames, for the purpose), His Worship held that plaintiff had failed to satisfactorily establish, his case, and therefore nonsuited him with costs, £2 3s 6d.

MtJRKAY AND SPENOEB V. RITM.VEY.— Claim £3 2s 6d. Mr BrooMeld for plain tills, Mr S. Heskcth for defendant. Judg ment for plaintiffs for amoant claimed, the costs of taking evidence at New Plymouth to be allowed to plainbiffs. Mrs Delamarv. Mrs Symis.—Claim,£23 5s 2d, money lent.—Mr W. J. Napier for plaintiff; Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant. —Plaintiff (a Frenchwoman) had been in the service of defendant (otherwise known as Miss Williams) as cook, and while in that capacity had advanced money at various times for the pay ment of tradesmen's bills. Her wages were 30a a week. The defendant set up a contra account, alleging that plaintiff had been allowed £1 a week for groceries, etc., and that thiswas more than sufficient for the purpose. Defendant admitted some of the items claimed, and had, therefore, paid in £11 4s lOd. The balance of £12 0s 4cl was dis puted. After Mrs Delamar had given evi dence the defendant, Mrs Symes, was ex amined as to the accounts. From her evi dence it transpired that since the bill of particulars had been furnished she had bor rowed a further sum of £3 15s from Mrs Delamar. This loan was not, of course, set down in the bill. At this stage the plain tiff's counsel notified that he would not press the claim of £12 0s 4d, but would take judgement for £3 15s, the sum which de fendant admitted she had since borrrowed. His Worship therefore gave judgement for plaintiff for i' 3 15s.

R.M. COURT (ONEHUNGA.)

CIVIL CASES. (Before T. Jackson, Esq., R.M.) Sib W. Wasteneys, Baht., v. Dr. W. R. Ersox. —Mr Napier for the plaintiff, and Mr Brookfield for the defendant. In this case the plaintiff claims the sum of £27 9s 9d for professional services and furniture sold. Sir VV. Wasteneya, sworn, stated : I am a solicitor, practising in Auckland and One hunga. 1 rendered a bill of costs to Dr. Erson in July last, which was de manded by Mr O'Meagher. The bill of costs lias since been taxed by the Registrar ; certificate of taxation I now pro duce.. - (Mr Broolctield here objected to the certificate being put in as evidence, as there was no proof to show that the signature was that of the Registrar, Mr Brewer.— The document was accepted by the Bench subject to Mr Brook field's objection, that the Registrar must be present or his seal attached.) Witness continued : Dr. Erson is still in debted to me in the sum of £20 7s as the amount assessed by the Registrar for pro fessional services rendered ; also a sum of £7 2s 9d for furniture sold to him by me, making a total indebtedness of £27 9a 9d. I was Ticting under instructions from Dr. Erson for the work I did and the expenses incurred. This bill contains a correct state ment of this work. I purchased all the goods mentioned in particulars of Dr. Erson's account for furniture (with the ex ception of the boiler), amounting to £7 2s 9d, from Mrs Howard-, at the prices charged to Dr. Erson. Some time after my pur chase I had a conversation with the doctor about the -purchase. He said he would, like to buy two chairs then in. my possession. 1 said as I was giving up housekeeping he might have them at the price paid for them. He sent his servant for the choirs, and I de livered them to the man. His name was Mack. He subsequently mentioned his de sire to have some other articles, which are mentioned in the particulars. I agreed to let him have them at the prices I paid. Those articles were supplied to him. Some of them were then sent to his house from Mr Bright's. Subsequently Dr. Erson got the lot. Cross-examined by Mr Brook field : The first item I gave to Harry O'Neil to leave at the doctor's house. Ido not know if he left it ; this was when I was leaving Sclwyn House to go to Mr Bright's. To my personal knowledge the washstand was delivered to the doctor's servant. The ware was delivered to O'Neil; I don't know if it was a complete set. The jug was not missing. The ware was in the same condition when I sold it to Dr Erson as it was when I bought it.—Samuel Bright, commission agent, sworn, stated : Plaintiff was lodging in my house. When he came to me he brought some furniture with him. I saw Dr. Erson's man Mack remove some furniture, which I knew to be the plaintiffs, from my house There were some chairs, washstands and ware, and other things. He afterwards took away a boiler from the back part of the house. . I consider the boiler when I saw it to be worth from 20s to 25s.—Cross-examined by Mr Brookfield: I only saw those articles and the boiler delivered. — Henry O'Neil de posed : I was employed to remove some goods from his house about a year ago. The goods were household furniture. I moved some to Mr Bright's and some to Dr. Erson's. I delivered them at his house —cooking utensils and other articles. I cannot remember all. I remember the chamber ware and washstand. Cross ex amined by Mr Brookfield : The plaintiff paid me for carrying the furniture.—-At this stage the Court was adjourned for one month.

CORRESPONDENCE.

University College Building.

(To the Editor.) SIR,-Tho proposal to transfer Govern ment House to the University College seems to deserve th« attention of all who desire the permanent advancement_ot Auck land At present our Proiessors of Classics Mathematics dcliv er their lectures in a loom of the worst acou.^c properties, and so badly ventilated as to cause Sequent eood public lecture rooms as well as class rooms-, and would thus enooumge not only the expansion of University w.vk, but also the de-livery of free popular lectures on various subjects. Surely it is■••««£»* *h° interests of this city that a valuable public building should lie waste rather than be turned to such practical purposes^— 1 aaa, H. Macaulay Posnett, LL.D.

The Vicar of Morwenstowe.

(To the Editor.)

Sir —In the last issue of your widely cir- j culating paper, there appeared a gross libel on an absent man, the Vicar of Mo - wenstowo, and I feel sure that you will, with your wonted courtesy, permit me space for a brief reply before my lecture is de livered to-night at the Baptist Church, Ponsonby. I shall only say a few words, because anyone who chooses to pay sixpence can hear all about the remarkable Vicar to night. ... It is not true that tho Vicar was a Romanist at heart while officiating as a clergyman of the Church of England, lhe fact is, sir, the old gentleman said and did queer-tilings which placed him in a false position, and as he was suspected of being a Roman Catholic he delighted to humbug his chicken-hearted detractors. He was one of the last men to bid for popularity. Far from being scared by Mrs Grundy, he teased the life out of her. When loud mouthed zealots bellowed "no Popery, tho old vicar exhibited a little piece of isinglass and said ib was a bib of the Pope's "toe-nail, bitten off by a friend when bowing to kiss his foot, and carried off in his mouth. The very fact of his carrying such a " relic " in his waistcoat pocket was convincing proof to all the little peddlingtons of Morwenstowe that he had " gone over to Romanism." If your cor respondent will patronise me to-night, 1 will make him laugh himself into the con viction that tho eccentric old vicar was one of the most scholarly, upright, and devoted of English Churchmen.—F. G. Ewington.

Devonport Water Supply.

(To tho Editor.)

Sik,— In your last night's issue, Mr Milne takes it upon himself to lecture our Mayor for having convened a meeting of rate payers to discuss the question of a water supply for the Borough of Devonport. That this meeting was called in response to a .re quisition signed by a large number of rate payers, is apparently a fact beneath the notice of our local Solon. To a superior mind, like that of Mr John Milne, matters no doubt present themselves in a light in which ordinary people cannot see them, and thus it is that he sees something repre hensible in the Mayor of a Borough, who has been elected by [the ratepayers, acced ing to thoir request that lie should call a public meeting to discuss a question of vital local importance. The Council will doubtless accept with gratitude his advice (when it is asked for) that it should ignore the clearly-expressed wishes of the ratepayers with regard to_ ad vertising for competitive schemes,especially when the Councillors are ffllWell aiwaro that if they took the course so kindly laid down for them by Mr Milne, there would be as little chance of their getting the necessary authority to borrow the money for a water supply as there is that Sir Milne will ever realise that everything he utters is not considered ass the perfection of wis dom. He speaks of the resolution as being "ill-adjusted," whatever that may mean, because it was amended by the addition of the three words "from Lake Takapuna," He talks of my withdrawing the whole of the last half-of my resolution. 1 did nothing of the kind ; having moved two distinct resolutions, I withdrew the second, which merely suggested the method of remunerating the successful competitor, if any of the schemes sent in should be adopted. A& a matter of fact, the first resolution I proposed was carried by an overwhelming majority exactly as I drafted it, except for the addition of the three words above mentioned. What I and my fellow ratepayers were really anxious about was that the Council should have the advantage of the ideas of more than one man with regard to the best scheme for supplying Devonport with anjefficienfc water service. If any expense has already been incurred in the preparation of a scheme, it is certainly to be regretted ; but probably no one, except a person of Mr Milne's mental calibre, would con sider the saving of that expense of more im portance than the giving ourselves the op portunity of adopting a cheaper and better scheme, if one can be brought forward. Mr Milne's insinuations with regard to the resolution having been inspired are scarcely worth notice, but I will just add that, so far as I know, Mr Niccol was totally un aware that I intended to move the resolution that was carried on Monday last. No doubt the resolution was "ill-adjusted" to suit the purposes of certain individuals, as ap parently it was to suit the views of Mr John Milne ; but then it was never framed to meet either of those objects.—l am, etc., Gerald L. Pkacocke. Devonport,Septem ber 15th.
