There was quite a crowd of people down on tlio wharf ready to board the little steamer which was to take us off to the Victoria, one of the fine coasters of the Huddart-Parker Company, of nearly dCOO tons register, and quite palatiully fitted. To give an idea of how the colonial passenger is catorcd for, not only are you invited to enjoy a eliota liazri, or little breakfast of porridge, tea or coffee, and biscuits in your bunk before rising, that is between six and seven a.m., and the usual six meals a day of tlie ocean steamers besides, bill the company provide rugs and steamer chairs for the comfort of passengers on deck. Also the liquid refreshments dispensed from the bar are, despite the tariff, on a much more in o'lest scale of prices than is the case in tlio deep sea ships, sixpence being the .standard price for practically all drinks that the ordinary man calls for. There was also everything that the most fastidious passenger could look for on hoard ship in the way of ladies’ rooms, reading and smoking rooms,. etc., and altogether I doubt very much if any vessels in tlio world can offer more comforts to travellers than do these splendid coasting steamers of Australasia.

We got aiviiy at nine o’clock, and proceeded at fourteen knots down the coast to Napier, which was reached at daylight, tlio navigation being of the simplest character along this steop-to_ coast'. It struck me, though, that the service was an exceedingly arduous one for the officers, who, except at certain stated ports, .do not got much rest; while the men, who undoubtedly work hard, have the intense satisfaction of knowing that their earnings are correspondingly good, since the eight hours’ day holds good for sea workers as well as land workers when the vessel is in port, and overtime is paid at one shilling per hour.

In -iving sentence in the Parnell robbery case Mr Justiee Denuiston stated that the circumstances of the robbery were very bad. Holland nearly throttled the woman, and carried off her property. In addition to that, ho had, in his defence, invented a story involving a most scandalous attack upon the character of a woman against whom not a tithe of suggestion of impropriety had been made. The jury must have held that view to justify their verdict, and that to support the story at least two witnesses —the • others might have been mistaken—had been suborned to commit perjury. A more scandalous and disgraceful defence it was impossibio to imagine. Of course, lie was not referring to the prisoner’s counsel, who was bound to act upon his instructions. Unfortunately, it was not an uncommon thing when a ■ man committed an outrage on a woman that the first thing lie did was to invent and elaborate a story involving scandalous allegations in regard to the person injured, thus adding insult to grievous injury. Holland’s character had boon spoken of as good, and it might nominally be, but robbery accompanied by violence must be regarded as a sign of criminal mind, and sentence of twelve months’ imprisonment would be imposed.
