BRICKWORKERS' CLAIMS , ♦ IBT TELEGRAPH — PRKSS ASSOCIATION.) CHRISTCHURCH/'Th^DaT"" The Canterbury Brick Pottery Workers' Union made a demand for an all-round increase in wages before the Conciliation Council to-day. The rates proposed are: — Moulders, 10s thousand square, day work; fancy off bearers, Is 4d per hour ; piece workers, Is thousand ; table boys, 8d thousand ; setters and drawers. Is 4d hour; clay fillers, Is 4£d hour ; • burners, 10s shift ; pottery workers, Is 3d hour. The employers declined the increases. After a fruitless discussion the case was ordered to go to the Arbitration Court. " Soon it will be quite useless coming to the Council at all," remarked a unionist. "No result is ever secured, every case going to the Court." Further particulars a?e to hand relative to a telegram ffom Gisborno in last nigirPs Post, staCmg that Harry Florey, an elderly man, had been 'found dead on the beach at Te Araroa, 110 miles north of Gisborne, and that the Coroner had or&iSed a full investigation to be made, as the constable at Te Araroa had reported that the man liad been put on a horse and sent out of the township in consequence of his having committed some offensive act. According to the report of the constable some sort of meeting was held in the township, and it was decided to hunt deceased therefrom, owing, it is alleged, to Ms unclean habits. In the afternoon nine or ten persons met, deceased's horse was brought, without a saddle, and he was laid nold of and lifted on to {he horse, which was then led towards 'the rivef in the direction of Port Awanui. After going about 200 yards deceased got ofi th» horse and endevoured to get away, but was again taken hold of by three of the men, who tried to put him on the horse. Deceased thereupon struck one man on the face, and cat the lip of another. One of the men struck him in return, which probably accounted for the black eye and a scratch on the forehead when the body was found. Florey was then led down to the river by two of the men, and on this occasion he appears to have wilHngly got on his horse and rode over the river alone, riding along the river-bed in the direction of Port Awanui. The crowd then returned to the township of Te Araroa. About 3 p.m. and at 5 p.m. deceased was seen by a Maori girl near Turangokoau pa, about two miles from Te Araroa. On the following morning the horse was found at the township with the bridle on, and it was thought that Florey had turned into one of the Maori pas, but nothing further was seen of him till his body was found two days afterwards on the beach at Te Araroa. Something rather unusual occurred during the hearing of a civil case by Dr. M 1 Arthur, S.M., to-day. Tho defendant in a debt case, who had shown the Bench that he was not in a position to pay, the Bench being clearly of tho same opinion, asked that an order should be made against him for payment of a small amount. With evident reluctance Dr. M'Arthur acceded to Jus request, and made an order for the payment of 10s a, month. The work of salvaging material from the Devon is now being carried on by Messrs. William C. Price and Co. without a hitch. Tho steamer brought up a load from the stranded vessel yesterday afternoon, included in the miscellaneous collection being the ship's piano, chandlery, chairs, and panelling from the saloon.
