AUCKLAND.
This day. The Industrial Home Enquiry.
Ihe Master and Matron Zncom-
potent. The Bey. J. Habeas report on the Auckland Industrial Home has been presented. He finds that the legitimate authority' of the Ladies Committee has been usurped by the Master and Matron, that the children were illclad, and that the supervision of the Committee in this respect was defective. With regard to the charges against the morality of the Master, he says no man ia absolutely secure against such charges, but a master should be one against whom no impurity could be alleged. He considers the master wanting in decision and training, and the domestic duties are insufficiently discharged, showing a great deal of slovenliness and untidiness. The Matron is incompetent, and the moral influences of the Home are not of a high order. He was unable to obtain information respecting the diet. Itch and ringworms were in some of the heads of the children, and vermin was prevalent. He consider! the master incompetent, and concludes by stating that a gentleman privately offered five hundred acres of land for a home, within a few miles of Auckland, and within a short distance of the railway.
