At the annual meeting of 1 the Reform Association last night, notice of motion was given re the desirability of a conference of delegates at Wellington to establish a lteform Association on a common platform. An official enquiry into the accident of tbe steamer Tui on Sunday week, was held to-day. The court found that the vessel grounded through the want of proper Judgment, having been exercised by the master, particularly on his having left his post on the bridge at the time when he could not see the light, and had nothing whatever to guide him, merely to set the foresail which was of no earthly use under the circumstances. After observing that the vessel must have gone five or six points out of her course, the court ordered, the captain's certificate to be suspended for three months, and adjudged him to to pay costs. The Government will introduce a clause into the property Assessment Bill, to prevent the capital of investment companies being taxed twice, which as the Otugo Times pointed out would be the effect if the bill passes as it stands.
