WILLIAMS' HISTORY.

HIS MARRIAGE WITH MURDEREDWOMAN.

WILLIAMS GETS ENGAGED TOANOTHER WOMAN.

[fee press association.lLondon,March 11.

— Ithas beenascer-tainedthat Williams, who is incustody inAustralia on tho charge of murdering hiswife at Windsor,Victoria,arrivedat Ram-hill,avillage inLancashire,inJuly last.Hepretended that he wanted torent a housein thetownshipfor his sister, who, however,was never soon. Williams, who appearedto httve no occupation, declared himnelfanInspectorof the Army Stores, andBaidhis father wasa Colonel in the Army,andwas killed in theCrimean war. He alsogaveout that anuncle of his was a manof very considerablemeans,but this musthavo beena myth, as he has neverbeenseen.

On September 14 last Williams wasmarried to Emily Lydia Mather,tho ceremony taking placeduringhis stayinRamhill. The villagersaro saidtohavebeengreatly impressedwith bin:,butsomeof themhadtheir doubts about tho man,becauso it was known that prior to hismarriage to Miss Mather, ho was visitedby a wpman who was reputed to bo hislawful wife.

After tho wedding, Williamsentertainedthe villagers at abanquet in honorof thoevent, but none of his friends weropresent at the festivities, a fact winchcaused somo comment.

Misa Mather's fatherkeeps a small BhopinRambill, and is highly respected byallclasses of the community,

Tho family wereunawareof tho terriblefate which had befallen Emily until oneofthe agents of the Australian and NewZealandCabioService calledon them withreference to thesubj-ct. On hearing thoawfulnewsthe mother faintoi.It was ascertained from members of

tho family that Williams left England incompany with his wife {nee Miss Mather),onpretence thatho hadbeen commissionedtotake charge ofthearmystorcsatBombay.Mrs Mather stated that she had receivedaffectionate letters from both tbo parties,and showassurprised whenshe found thattheir destination was Melbourne., and notBombay.

Mrs Williams' last letter bore theColombo postmark, while the husband'slast communication, which was datedMelbourne,December 20th, informed thefamily that he au.i his wife had spent ahappy Xmas. lie also remarked that" Emily was tho happiest voman he hadever seen, and ehe did enjoy herselfthoroughly/ He announced that ho hadbeen appointed manager of a large teabusinessin Hong Kong,and that he andhis wifeworo tosail for theirnew homoonJanuary 4. Nothing ia known regardingWilliams' antecedents.

Sydney-, March 13.—

Will'ams becameengaged to a Bathurst lady, who was enroteto Perth tomarry him when ho wasarrested. She handed over to the Mclboil"no police a quantity of jewellerywhich Wiiliams had givei her,and thishas been identified as belonging to theraurderol woman.

Sydney, March 14.—

Williams was aresident inSydney in1882, and served asentence fcr larceny there. Ito wassubsebuently arrested for fraudulentlarceny andabsconded fromhis bail. Hethenhad a wifeand family whose presentwhereabouts are unknown.

A number ofotharsmalldebtcases wereadjudicatoJ,andtheCourt rose,

Tho R.M. mado a strongprotest on thewant of adequate convenience for thoCourt,especially on thedisadvantage to thoadministration of justice caused by theabsence of matting to deaden the noiseof people's feet. The obvious answerto those strictures is that the TownBoardgives theJusticeDepartmenta verygoodsix shillings' worthas it is, and thatfor such a sum thoprovisionof matting isoutof thequestion. When Mr Barloymanwas in Wellington lately ho interviewedtheJustice Department on tho matter ofa Courthouse, but was told it would notpay to build one. Apart from tho ques-tion as to whether tho administrationofthelawshould boregarded as acommercialspeculation, the Department is bound tomakesuch arrangements as willenable theproceedingsof itsCourts to bo conductedwithefficiency and decorum. It is admit-tedly difficult tosecure either at Stratford.

In a recent copy of tho Neio ZealandGazette we noticed several pages filledwith tho names of those who hadpassedtheir examination or otherwise qualifiedthemselves to teach according to theformulalaiddown by those who controlour system of education. What hours,nay,days, of torture must th- se who havtto pass through the ordeal undergo inmaking themselves proficient to answerquestions put intelligently by moansof the piinted examination papers,but, when those po-pers aro not writtenintelligently, what must be the stateofthe brainsof thoseunfortunate martyrs toour educationsystem ? Yearafter year wehave noticed that a largo number ofteachers whogoup for examination onlyobtain a partialpass, and,on enquiry, wefind that those who fail usuallyget

"plucked■' in their examination on"School Management." After somedim*culty we procured one of these papers,tho style and composition of whichmuch surprised us. llio author misapplieswords and writesungrammatically;whilsthis involved sentences must havebeen most perplexing to the teachersunder examination. For instance he usesthe word"Draw

"over and over again."Draw up a time-table for a country

school,&c." "Drawupnotesof anobjectlesson on 'an applo,'" and co onThen again, in Section 4 of this papertheroare twoquestions which arevague inthe extreme, and over them wo expectmolt of the teachers were "floored."Tho examinerasks:"There aropeculiari-ties in theEnglish language which makespelling a rather severe task to a child.Name the difficulties, and state how youwould attempt to overcome them?

"Whatdifficulties does the examinerreferto? Ilercis another extraordinary ques-tion: "Name the advantages and disad-vantages of transcription and dictationrespectively. How would you guardagainst these defects ?" If there aro ad-vantages, wo scarcely comprehend howateacher ia to guard against

"these defects

"The wholeof thequestions printed on thopaper we havo been quoting from are

''written in most "slovenly" English.Many of themare so confusing that it isdifficult tounderstand the writer's mean-ing; and we are thereforenot surprised atmany of tho unfortunato teachers being" plucked."Whh.st glancing down tho questions onthoExamination paper wo refer *babove,a thought struck us that tho MinisterofEducation might render a service to thocauseof educationifhe testedthequalificalionsof alltho examiners in the colony,lie might proctiro, unknown to tho In-spectors of the various districts, copiesoftheir examination papers: also copies oftho paporssupplied to tho school teachers.Being thus proparod,ho sho Id thensum-mon the wholo of tho Inspectors to Wel-lington for consultation, and having thorntheie, they should have tho papors putIboforo them, with a request toanswer thequestions. Thus tho Auckland Inspectorwould find tho Otago questionsbeforehim,and the NelsonInspectorthose prepared inWellington, as well as the wholeof thepapers set for theschool toacherd. As fortho Inspector-General, he should be lockedupin a roomwith no chanco of getting abook to refor to, and be made to answerall the papers placed befoiehim. Such aprocedure wouldcausegreatconsternationamongst" tho heads," and it' they weronottaken suddenlyill,andattempted toanswertboquestions,the answers— if printedas aParliamentarypapsr

—would, wefeelsure,

be most amusing reading; and ia someinstances we fancy tho orthography woulJnot bo according to "Walker'1 or anyother authority. Tho great difficulty incarryingout such a "qualification test"as wo havo suggested would bo inkeeping tho matter a sccrot. Tho In-spectors would, wo fear, got intimationof what waa going on, and como downwith answers to the questions of their ownpapors in their pocket, tiowovor, wocon-siderit is tho July of Llio Minister ofEducation to hav«j nomo of these ox-amination papers tout to him; andand should insist on tho practice ofsotting"catoh" questioos" toconfuse thochildren and tcachors being discon-tinued. It is desirablo that only fairquestions written inintelligent English,shouldbe placed boforo tho teachers whogoup for their examination. Wo hopethoMinister of Education will look intothomiiltor, and that in futurea littlemorecare will be takoa in preparing examina-tionptipeis.

A few weeksago, says theStar, ayounggentleman from Wellington paidhis firstvisit to Auckland, and on his return inwriting to a friend in Auckland, thankinghim for the electro homoeopathicmedicine,he says:

"Icannot help thinking whenIlookroundaboutWellington, whatamiser-able appearance it has compared withAuckland. It lacks tho beautifulscenerytbat is to bo seen all around Auckland,while sufh places as Mr Courtney's atPonsonby, or Mr Watson'sat the NorthHead, could not behad in Wellington forlove or money."

Tho followingparagraphrelating to theChief Commissionerof Victorianrailways,who,it is reported, has been unfortunatein Melbourne speculations, is from theAge of Februbry 10 :— Mr Speight'sabsence from the colony at the presenttime is being commented- upon, and arumour was current yesterday to the effectthat ho had arrived in Brisbane i>nd leftthere again on a trip north, whero hointended tostayamonth. This statement,however, has been received with in-credulity. Tho lawas laid down in theRailwayCommissioners Act is thatif anyCommissioner is absent for more than 14days withoutleave he forfeitshis position,and Mr Spoight has not, as far as hiscolleagues aro aware, even applied forleave. Ho wasabsentfrom duty duringtho wholeof last week,and his colleaguesstate that they do not know his wjiere-abouts,but tliey regarditas very unlikelythatho will stay away longer than theregualtion time. As » matterof fact heia expected to arrivo in Melbourne onFriday morning by tho Arawata,or byany steamer that may reach port onSaturday. Ho has not, however, com-municatedwith them, so that his move-ments are"a mystery,

The subject allotted to Rev.Mr Fairclough isButler's "Analogy."

Mr Tregear, of theNow Zealand L hourBureau, emphatically declares that noloafer has over come to the bureau."What is a loafer?" ho asks. "The trueloafer is the man who loiters about thewharves to got work for an hour or sothat ho may spend the money in beer,whileho has a wifeat homo whosupportshim by waehino-. Do you think such aman as that wouldtake a railway pnss togo to' a place whero ho will bo up* to hisknees inmini and where he will have tolivo in hardship? No; decidedly not.Such menas he prefer to stay in town.They donot come tous."

A charming youngman foundhis waytoDunedinaweek back (writes thecorres-pondent of the Cromwell Argus), and anho was verypresentable,of easy manners,a good conversationalist,and not at all abad musician,he pickedup hosts of friends.

!No oneknow w/iorohe camefrom orwhereho waH goingto,butasho could judiciouslyhint without the semblance of making aboast,or putting it forwardostentatiously jtbat ho was in ."sassiety" ia London, howas taken up by "sassioty" in Dunodin.He found his way into good houses,danced with and made lovo to allthe pretty girls, and when possibleborrowed a few shillings from their;brothers. lie wasproposed at club?, andhaving some knowledge of literature,waslwarmly welcomedby thoShakespeareClub. Unfortunately for thoyouth,ho hadnot suflbientready cash tosustain his rofaHufltciontlylong toget a goodstart,and hemalo his w.ay to Ashburton, hoping thereto raise tho wind. A few days later his"saasioty" friends learned that HerbertCecilSt.John, alias Charles Lyndon, aliasHerbert Cyril Maklin Judd was arrestedandsentenced to six months for stealingthe contents of missionboxes at a church,and taking other trifles.

Under thename of Hauphtonhorented a large furnishod house for throemontliH, offering to pay a month's rent inadvance, but the landlord declined theoffer. Haughton then gavo a liberalorderto a storekeeper for household goods,includiug wines and spiiits of tho bestbrands. After making enquiries us tocharacter, ho engaged a servant, statingthat tho one serving in the family wouldnot leave Melbourne. For convenienceUaughton opened an account in a localbank, paying in his own cheque on aMelbourne bank for £150.

DUE TO A LOTTERY ROW.THE GAME OF PAK-AH-PU.

We hear everyday that the poor Chinamenare harmless, says the Sydney Star.So they aro whennot aroused, but thattheyaroatrociousanjlmurderous cowardsis evidentfrom the mannerin which theyhave behaved, not only in their owncountry, but inmany cities outside theirown empire. InSan Francisco some fouror five years back, though they at timeswereresponsiblefor somo cruel murders,they woreon the whole lookod upon asexceedingly harmless. A dispute, how-evor, arose between two factions in thocity, andtho commencementof hostilitiesina mildmanner was almost passed un-noticed, A few f*ayß subsequentlyit be-came painfully visible that serious troublewasin store, and what had boon lookedupon asa eiinploChineso row culminatedone day in24 uf their number being shotdead in the street, and a numbor of othersbeing seriously woutnded. Action wasthen taken, andpeace wasrestored.

We do not wish to poso as alarmists,but from the attitude which tho twofactionsin this city have assumed it israoro thenprobable that yesterday's fray,which wan fully described in tho Staryesterday, was a mild opening of thowar.

The cause of Iho trouble wbichhas putaffairsin thopositionin which they nowstandis this: Gwoon Sing and his re-tainers, it is alleged, ran a pak-ahpulottery inLower Georgostreet. Ah Chowa genius of his raco, and a memberof theGoulburn, Campbell and Woxford-streetspush,not long ainco marked throb tickotsin thoono bank with eight marks eachand consequently was entitled to draw£230. 'lhe parting with such a largesum interfered with Gwoon Sing'sdigestion,but Ah Chow was determinednot to bo done out of his pr'ze, andthreatened to rnako things warm forGwoon. Tho George a'rect patriarchs, itis alleged, then sat insolemnconclave, anda vile conspiracy,it was asserted in theevidence, was concocted reflecting in aterriblemannor on Ah Chow'smorality.

Thoplot was not long in being carriedinto effect. On Ah Chew's noxt appear-ancedown Lowor George-street the wilyGwoon is reported to have tak n himquietly into v room and hinted to himthatif he didnot shut up about tho moneybusiness and part up £20, ho would havehimarrested ona charge of having committedan indecentassaulton his (Gwoon's)daughter. Ah Chew was indignant, andimmediately hied to the council meetingin Goulburn-streer, and tie wiao headshaving consulted, war was declared,and thepolico informedof GwoonSing'sthreat and attempted extortion. The re-sultof the caso and the fight betweenthetwo parties werepublishedyesterday. Bya wise precaution, when the rioters werearrested,tho Chinese were given tounder-stand that they would not be brought be-fore the Bench until this morning,and asthey »yore dealt withyesterday afternoonthechanceof another collisionomong thefollowers of thepartios was averted

A trip through the Chinese quarters inLowerGeorge stieet and the Haymarketyesterday afternoon and last niglit dis-closed the fact that there is a subduedexcitement throughout theentire Celestialpopulation,and that thetroubleis far frombeing settle^' Yestorday's fight was acunningly-laid-ontaffair, and thestrategyof theChinese wasay wily as it wasclever.Quiet during thebearingofthecase,itonlyremained for thesignaltobe given for thepre-arranged battle to commence. Thepartieshadeach other marked, and whenhostilities had commenced two vegetableraon who had been quietly squatting infrontof the woolstorestrottedtfeeirbasketsinto the crowd, and from these wereex-tractediron bars and bluemetal inwhole-sale quantities. When the heathen sawtheircountrymen being lumbered, andhadbadenough for one day, arank of about25 cabs was brought into requisition,andwith as many as six or seven in onecabthe horses were whipped up, and thering-leaders in the riotgotclearaway.It is currently reported, and on good

authority,that thelifeof a young Chinesestudent is in jeopardy forhaving usedhisbest endeavours to diminish the curse ofgambling amongst his countrymen. H-;gaveevidence at the Chinese GamblingCommission,andbe also joined the Anti-ChineseGamblingLeague,and for this heisdislikedbyhis countryman to such anextent thata prico has been put on hishead. He wasopenly threatened inCourtyesteiday,and is afraid thatthe threat willbe carriedintoeffect.

Lecture osn TeaTO THE

STUDENTS OF TtlE LONDON HOSPITAL.(Extractfrom tdbPallMallBudget.)"Tea tobe usoful, shouldbe first of all blackGhina Tea. The Indian

Tea which is being onltivatod has become so powerfulinits effects upontho nervoussystem that a cup of it takenearly in themorninsr, asmanypeopledo,so disorderstho nrrvous system, that those who take itactuallyget intoa stateof tea intoxication,and itproducesa form of nerve dis-turbance which is mostpainful to witness."

Although we are the largest dealers inIndian and CeylonTeas in tho Colonies, WEHAVE ALWAYS STRONGLY ADVISED the public to DRINK our BLENDEDTEAS inpreference to Indian or Ceylon alone. We maintain they are too siokly for90 PER CENT,of the tea drinking public;and inEngland, wheresuch largequantitiesaro shipped,over 80 PER CENT, areused for BLENDING withCHINA TEAS,whiohare undoubtedly as PURE as Indian and Ceylon, and FAR MORE REFRESHINGwhenproperlyB^ESDED. Many INEXPERIENCED firms push Indian and Ceylonon tho public because it is beyond them to proluca a regular, true blend, and theprofit is Inrarer, for choap common Indians giveout a Ptrong ooarseliquor, WITHOUTANYQUALIIV, and make people,FOR A TIME, fancy thoy arogetting a bargain,tillthey find out, to their cost, thaiSIR A. CLARK is right. TheLEADINGMEDI-CAL men in ENGLAND are CONDEMNING the use of Indian and Ceylon TEA.ALONE, and the above extract from Sir A. Clark'dLecture MUST CONVINCE ALL'that a taste for Indians,whioh has toba ACQUIRED BY FORCE AT FIRST, is aSERIOUS and dangerons thing.

We arepublishing the above extract for the benefitof thoße that havonot soenit,and to support what we havo always maintained. This is against our owninterests,for the profit on threeTeas is equal,if not inoro, thnn thaton otherkinds.
