Our cable messages to-day report an appalling mining catastrophe in New South Wales, by which it is feared that sixty lives have been lost. The Irish Crimes Bill is meeting with great opposition in the House of Commons. The Government propose bringing down a new Land Bill for Ireland. Should their measures be defeated they will appeal to the country. The official inquiry into the Kapnnda disaster confirms the particulars already telegraphed. The Emperor's birthday celebrations in Germany passed off with great eclat. Sir George Grey arrived in town yesterday, and will remain here till next week, as he has to take t, prominent part in the ceremony of opening the Free Library next Saturday. Immediately on his arriv?l, Sir George visited the new buildingt Mr. Thomas Russell, who has left London on a. visit to New Zealand, will arrive here about 29 th April. £. cvgrthmhuk„&% Yesterday the French frigate Duqueane, carrying the flag of Bear-Admiral de Saint Hilaire, came into port,y>«nchoring off the Railway Wharf. The man-o'-war is one of the largest of the French navy that has vihited this port for some years past, and as soon as she dropped anchor she ran up the St. George's ensign, and saluted the port with 21 guns, the frigate's band playing "God Save the Queen," but to this salute none was answered from the shore, a fact that caused a great amount of conversation in town. The vessel has come into port in splendid order, and as nhe steamed up the harbour she presented a very pretty appearance. In our shipping columns will be found full particulars respecting the vessel. She is last from Tahiti, and occupied IS days on the passage. /':) A meeting was hold yesterday morning at R. Eagleton's, 220, Queen-street, to see Mr. Garnier'a method of electrical analysis of water. Among the gentlemen present were Messrs. hitcombej; O'Meagher, Superintendent Hughes, Pond,' Warnock, Holland, Dr. Tsnnent, Garrett, Swales, Mitchelson, and others. Tjjpi experiment, which consisted in decomposing the water \by an electric current, was started about 11 o'clock, and some of the samples Will be finished to-day. After the electricity has. passed through the water- for a certain time, a chemical is added, which ' precipitates all the organic matter. It is then collected, dried, and weighed. Mr. Pond exhibited some specimens of extracts from the city water supply, consisting mainly of algae, diatoms, and very active [ water fleas. Mr. Gamier will hare one of ; the samples of water completely tested to : day, and possibly two. When the whole of them are finished, he will publish his report, as also a proposed method of filtering the water at the reservoir, which, he thinks, will : be superior to any of those yet suggested. So far as his tests have gone, he considers that there is too much organic matter in the city water, and that it shonld be either filtered or boiled for domestic use. Owing to the great waste of water going on His Worship the Mayor has ordered the watering of the streets to be discontinued for the present. In one afternoon half a million gallons of water were drawn from the Ponsonby reservoir between two p.m. and six p.m. The turncock visited a nHmber of the streets in Ponsonby in order to ascertain whether there was any leakage, but discovered none. Owing to this abnormal waste of water, it was found impossible to fill up the reservoirs. It is hoped by stopping the watering of the streets to get theKybsr Pass and Ponsonby reservoirs re-charged, a step which is an absolute necessity in view of the frequenoy of fires. His Worship's action will be commended under the circumstances. The arrangements for the forthcoming Industrial Exhibition are going on satisfactorily, and the number of entries give promise of assured success. It will be held in the premises of Messrs. Bell Brothers, Wyndhamstreet, which have b?en placed at the disposal of the committee, and are well suited for the purpose. The total space available is 8000 feet, of which over one half can be used for exhibition purposes. It is proposed to open the Exhibition on the 7th May, and oontinue it for ten days. The entries will close on the 11th prox., and applications for space are being continually forwarded to the secretary, Mr. C. D. Whitcombe. . The city officials were busy yesterday transferring the archives from the old offices to the new buildings, and it is expected that the process will be completed to-day. By the original arrangement and allocation of the rooms at the Free Public Library, it was intended to have a lecture hall tor art students, with class-rooms adjacent, where students could come and paint from the pictures in the Art Gallery, as la the usage at home. The fact that the terms of Mr. Maokelvie'a will preclude the Maokelvie collection being permanently placed in the Art Gallery, has led the City Council to reconsider its decision as to the allocation of the rooms. The lecture hall has been taken as the City Council Chamber, and the classrooms have been appropriated as City Council offices. Some rooms on the Wellesley-street frontage have not yet been allocated, and these will, probably, be set apart for art purposes, as they have a good light. An inquest was held at the Hospital yesterday afternoon on the body of Thomas Usher, who was run. over by the train at Papakura on Taesday*-evening. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental deatjjf'and added that no blame attached to anyone." The evidence showed that deceased had left the train while in motion, a most dangerous praotioe, which is strictly prohibited by the railway by-laws. If people could have seen the ghastly manner in which the legs of the unfortunate deceased were crushed, it might serve as a warning to them against contravening the by-law. Mr. Theo. Cooper, who appeared on behalf of the Government, stated that more than a dozen prosecutions for this offence had been instituted this year, and that there were two pending now. A meeting of gentlemen interested in the formation of a yacht club at this port was held last evening at Mr. Levinsohn's rooms, Queen-street Wharf. There were about 20 persons present, and Mr. J. B. Graham occupied the chair. After considerable discussion it was resolved, " That considering that the working of the Auckland Yacht Club has been of a most unsatisfactory nature for some time past, it be resolved that a committee, consisting of Messrs. C. C. Dacre, Glbbs, C. B. Stone, Reynolds, and W. Jones, be appointed to place the club on a more satisfactory footing." Mr. C. C. Dacre was appointed secretary. Before the meeting closed the names of some 40 promised members were received. It was resolved that the club be opened by a procession on Saturday, 2nd April; Complaints are made of groups of hoodlums congregating of a night near the Ponsonby Club Hotel corner, and accosting and insulting' ladies who have occasion to pass along the thoroughfare after nightfall.

A charge of perjury, arising out of the last civil proceedings in the now famous Ohinemutn ejeotment squabble botween Mrs Robertson and the late Mr. Robert Graham' | came on before Mr. H. G. Seta Smith, fi M ' , at the Police Court yesterday, and occunied nearly the whole of the day. The prosecutor sets out that Mrs. Graham, in her evidence in the civil case in* the Supreme Court in May last, made a false statement as to 'tho whereabouts of Mr. Graham at the time of the ejeotment. of Mrs. Robertson from the Ohinemutu Hotel. The case had not con eluded when the Court rose, and the farther hearing was adjourned r till Saturday, a report of tbe proceeding.! will be found in . another column. ' The Thames Star of Tuesday has the fol. lowing:—" A few days ago Mr. a. Brodie" County Chairman, telegraphed to Sir Julia! Vogel pointing out that at the present time there are a large number of unemployed at the Thames, where the existing depression is being equally felt In common with other districts throughout the colony, and inquiring therefore, whether advances might not be made to the County Council on the loan of £12,000, which it was decided by a poll 0 f the ratepayers should be raised under the Government Loans to Local Bodies Act ISS6, and Local Bodies Loans Act, 1886. A reply has now been received by the Countv Chairman, to the effect that certain advances will be made on the loan in order to enable some of the works enumerated in the sobe. dule to be immediately proceeded with" which is tantamount to saying that the whole of the many intricate formalities in cormeo. tlon with the loan have been satisfactorily complied with. We understand it i 8 the intention of the Council to invite tenders in the course of a few days, for forming and metalling the Thames to Hikutaia road " The new Presbyterian Church at Walroa South is now finished, and the contractor, Mr. Connelly, of Auckland, has completed the work to the satisfaction of the committee New seats have been made by Mr. Coster" of Wairoa, who also drew the plan of the building. Tho opening soiree will be held on Friday first, the 25th instant, at halfpast six p.m., when addresses will be delivered by the Rev. C. Worbbys, from Auckland, and other ministers. Musical selections by the local choir will be interspersed Readings will also be given. The opening services will be conducted on Sunday next in the morning at eleven and in the evening at seven, by the Rev. D. J. Steele, M.A. of Otahuhu. An address to young people will be given at three p.m. Collections morning and evening for the building fund ; the after. noon for the Sabbath-school fund. The late Mr. Thos, A. Usher, who diel through - injuries received at Papakura on Tuesday last, was a zealous number of the Masonic body. He was one of the first members of " Lodge Star in the Far South," held at Papaknra, and, up to the time of his death, held office in the Lodge. He was also a member of Lodge St. Andrew. As will be seen by advertisement in another column the members of the craft are invited to attend the funeral of their late Brother Usher, which leaves the District Hospital for the Symonds-street Presbyterian Cemetery at 3.30 p.m. this afternoon. Yesterday, at the Free Library, a number of cases of new books, which had just arrived by the Doric, were opened. There are about £500 in the consignment, and they consist of valuable modern works ia almost all departments of literature. They are all handsomely and strongly bound. These books will not be placed on the shelves in the meantime, but will be laid out on the tables, where they may be inspected on Saturday after the opening. The library room is nearly finished, and it looks very handsome. The famous comedy, "The Magistrate," was again very excellently performed, last night at Abbott's Opera House to a good audience, whose heatty applause and laughter throughout the piece showed that the ability of the performers, which was moat satisfactorily shewn in every part, was thoroughly appreciated. The company is one of far more than ordinary ability, and should during its season in Auckland meet with warm support from all lovers of good acting and wholesome comedy. Referring to the case of Richardson v, Letham, in which the owners of the Berengaria were sued for the loss of a valuable cargo in the English Channel in 1884, through oareless navigation of the vessel, whilst on a voyage from Melbourne to Sunderland, it will be remembered that the oase was won by Messrs.' Richardson (in reality the South British Insurance Company), and that Messrs. Letham and others gave notice of appeal. The South British has just received a cable from Melbourne advising that the appeal has been dismissed. The amount involved is £10,188 53 7d. A report of the case appeared in our issue of the 24th ult. At the Onehunga Police Court yesterday, before Dr. Scott, Thomas Thompson, alias "Buffalo Tom," was charged with riotous behaviour at the Terminus Hotel on Monday night. R. Ternahan, proprietor of the hotel, gave evidence that the accused had assaulted his daughter in the yard by striking her ; also striking the servant girl (Cummings), and when he remonstrated with him, accused used threatening language. Four other witnesses corroborated this evidence. Sergeant Greene deposed that he, in company with Constable Haslctt, arrested the accused and lodged him in the lock up. The Court senteuced him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour, without the option of a fine. To-day the election of a licensing com. mittee for the Onehunga district will take place, there being ten candidates, five of which represent the blue ribbon ticket, while the second five are on the moderate ticket, and have occupied the position foi the past two years. A great deal of interest is likely to be centred in this election, a* the Good Templars have worked moat energetically during the past few weeks, with a hope of recovering the victory lost at the past two elections. The polling hours are from nine a.m. to six p.m., and it is anticipated that fully four-fifths of the voters will be brought to record either for or against the moderate party. It is stated that the gang of " speelers,'' which have lately arrived, are putting spurious half-sovereigns in circulation. To-night" will be held in the Beresfordstreet Congregational Church a recognition service to welcome the new pastor, the Rev. James Chew. Tea will be provided at half* past six in the schoolroom. The after meeting will be held in the church, when addresses will be given, and choice musioal selections by the choir. The proceedings promise to be more than ordinarily interesting. The Edendalo Manufacturing Company, which has been carried on under the pro« prietorship of Mr. A. K. Murray, has lately been taken over by Messrs. Norrie and Kemplay, who have made arrangements for the further development of an industry which so far has proved a great benefit to the district in which it is placed. Messrs. Norrie and Kemplay are now making arrangements for a further supply of machinery, by which they will be enabled to produce every description of plain and fancy woollen hosiery, while at present they havo on hand, and are busy making, large quantities of men's hosiery. This local industry the manufacture of hose—is steadily in creasing in Auckland. Steps are being taken by the City Kngineei to have the Cemetery Bridge strengthened by windstays and extra wires under the floor of the bridge. This will allay the uneasiness which has lately prevailed as to the stability of the bridge, especially on holiday* when large crowds pass over it. There is likely to be competition as to the privilege of first lighting up Auokland with the electric light.. A member of the firm of Messrs. Price and Co. has telegraphed to the City Council in reference to the matter, ana is expected here on Monday next in order to go into the practical details. The address to business men yesterday was held by the Hon. G. Waldegrave in the hall of the New Zealand Insurance Buildings. Mr. Brakonrig led the singing, and Mr. George White engaged in devotional M 9r ' cises. Mr. Waldegrave took as the basis of his address the;passage in the 32nd chapter of Deuteronomy, "He found him in 8 desert land, and in the waste, howling wilderness." The previous evening he addressed about 100 young women in the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms, the subject of his disoourse being tho visit oi Solomon to the Queen of Sheba. Some time ago the Women's Christian Temperance U,nlon offered sundry prizes tor competitive essays from the pupils in * public schools on "Alcohol," Dr. B.icb&roson's Text Book to be the work of reference to be used. The period for receiving «JJ essays hap now been extended to fine <»*« inat.

At the date of our latest advices a large und important deputation, representing th« sugar industries in England and her posses lions, was about to be organised in London tt wait on Lord Salisbury, with a view if poB Bible to seoure the abolition of the bountiei given by foreign Governments on the export of sugar from the Continent of Europe. Ai a meeting held on 10th February, resolutions condemnatory of these bounties were passed. The Imperial Institute, writes a London correspondent, does not make much headway, though donations of £500 and downwards from lords-lieutenant of counties, high sheriffs, and people of that class continue to be announced. The Government contribution from Canada will be £20.000, that from the joint Australian Governments £35,000, and it is hoped that the colonics altogether, from private and Government sources, will contribute upwards of £100,000, leaving £400,000 to be raised by India and the United Kingdom. For the seoond time in the history of our ■team service, remarks the Sydney Herald, the mails from England have reached us in thirty-three days. Once before, in the year ISSS, this feat was accomplished in exactly the same time by the steamer Austral. Ten or fifteen years ago this would have seemed a prodigious thing, but now it is taken as a matter of course. The large ships have completely revolutionised both our mail service and our trade. They hsve made a passage to the old laud a mere holiday trip, when before It was a matter of serious consideration. In some respects we are not so dependent an a swift mail service, as we have the cable to convey to us all important matters of interest ; but the large fast ships are a great advantage to the trade, carrying us as they do immense cargoes to the London markets within the sales season. It matters much also to the average passenger whether it takes fifty days or thirty days to make the journey, there being a difference of over a month in the round trip ; and the passenger traffic thus necessarily increases from year to year very greatly: The time is now practically reduced to a month, and the mail service has reached that point whore there is little more to be desired; A correspondent, "Hermes," writing on Mr. Firth's last paper says :—" With reference to what Mr. Firth says abont 'Money, Weights, aud Measures,' the principle is acknowledged, in the money table, already, by the issue of the florin ;"and sale by the cental, or quintal, or 1001 bs, was legalised by the British Parliament many years ago.

What we want 19 a silver J coin on vvnat we want is a silver coin on hundredth part of one pound sterling—c: It, say, a cent. There would then be cents = 1 florin, and 10 florins = £1. S Julius Vogel could easily arrange for th with the British mint, and the various ban] would put them in circulation. Our fartbii would be one-tsnth of the cent, but as tin ire not yet in circulation they would not 1 needed ; two farthings would- be called half-psnny, four a penny, and so on ; for would be impossible to get rid of the Englii names. In the United States the quarter i a Mexican dollar is called a shilling." Referring to the danger to children attem ing school when proper precautions are n< taken to prevent injuries being sustained b a fall at the gymnasium, a correspondei writes in a Christchurch contemporary :- "About a fortnight ago a father returuin from his work one evening, discovered h bod, a little fellow of eight years, seated 0 the edge of the footpath, and unable t proceed any further, the cause bein a fall from a gymnasium, or bar, a school. A few days after this the poc little fellow was dead. Mr. Beetham, in hi remarks at the inquest, said he though the School Boards should take steps t have a good thick coating of tan spread 0 She ground, so that if there was a fall (whic there frequently is) it might be less sever* Now, sir, only last week 1 saw a little girl c seven leave her home for the Upper Heatfc cote School. At that time she was th picture of health, as was the case with th little boy. She returned home limping, th cause being a slight fall from a swing at th said school; but instead of falling on tan, 0 something soft, she came to mother eart plentifully covered with shingle. Sir, su too, after an agonising week, was quietl; laid in her last resting place at the Heath :ote cemetery yesterday." Interesting experiments are being made ii Ounedin with a somewhat remarkable appa ratcis of local production for lighting am extinguishing street lamps. The corpora tion are making a test with a view to tin Adoption of the system should the present experiments be found thoroughly satisfactory. The Invention Is by Mr. M'Auliffe, ol the Caversham gasworks, who has protected himself by obtaining letters patent. The apparatus consists of a brass cylinder, which contains a regulator or governor. This (9 acted upon by the pressure in the mains, which again is regulated by the governors at the gasworks to suit the difference in the supply required for night and day lighting. The apparatus only requires to be affixed to the jet of the lamp, no inter communication other than the changes of pressure being necessary to work it,it can be Used with any nnmber of lamps. The indention consists of a "pilot" burner on the Davy lamp principle, which is placed alongside the main burner in the street lamp, this pilot burner is always alight, there being a sufficient pressure at all times in the tiaina to keep it burning. As soon, however, as the pressure at the gasworks is in creased for night consumption the gas ascends to the brass cylinder and lifts np the plug which seals the main burner. The gas then escapes from the main burner ar.r. is immediately ignited by the pilot light. It continues burning until the pressure is reduced at the gasworks, when the main burner is abut off and the pilot light remains burning. It is claimed that considerable saving would be effected by the application of this system. The pilot burner is estimated to consume one-eighth of a foot of gas per hour, bo that the cost of consumption of gas for this purpose would only amount to about 10s per day for the whole 518 lamps which illuminate the city. It is pointed out that there would also bo a great saving in the wages of lamplighters and the consumption of gas. Mr. Harrow, of Bacna Vista, the Lake, writes :—" Sir, —As I rind several persons have represented me as a man who only talks and never acts, I shall be glad if you will publish the following. At the last annual meeting at the Lake Church, I attended and offered £50 to clear the Church from debt. This was taken no notice of. Yesterday, I fettled with Mr. Davies, and told him I would guarantee the amount required to enable us to receive our letters daily instead of three times a week, as before. Also, I purchased the most complete outfit for cider making to be had in New Zealand, for use at the Lake, nearly all our apples and pears being useless for any other purpose, and the only market at present being Parnell. The outfit has only just arrived from Germany, and although too late for general use now, will be of great advantage to all applegrowers around here next season." The Fifeshire Advertiser of a late date refers to the appearance under engagement of Mr, Walter Bentley, the actor, in Kirkcaldy. Mr. Bentley ia the son of the lata Rev. Dr. Begg, an eminent Edinburgh divine. His first professional appearance was made in the Prince of Wales Theatre, Auckland. In 1874 he went to London, and in October of that year commenced what proved to be a highly successful engagement with Mr. Charles Wyudham, at the Court Theatre. There his abilities attracted the notice of Henry Irving, and he commenced an engagement which lasted three seasons at the Lyceum. Selecting the offer of Mr. A. D. McNiel, of the Princes' Theatre, Edinburgh, Mr. Bentley com menced, in 1879, a tour under his auspices at his theatre as Alfred Evelyn, in "Money," and subsequently appeared as Claude Melnotte, John Miidmay, and Hamlet, and as the tour turned out a great success, he added to his repertoire Macbeth, Othello, lago, Shylock, Mathias, and Borneo. He was specially engaged to appear with Riatori on her first English-speaking tour, being starred underneath that great artists ; and went to America in 1883 to play " The Silver King." His tour in the States was an unqualified Buccess. " Novus Homo " writes on the subject of the Onehunga licensing election, in answer to some letters that have appeared in our columns. He says that it must be evident that in proportion to the population and wealth of the place, the number of licensed houses ia excessive. The publicans are, therefore, driven to do an illegitimate trade, by "doctoring" their liquor or in other ways. He urges the electors to vote for Trollope, fiTapp,, Fleming, Dunwoodie, and Hills. There were in tho look-up last evening, three persons on charges of drunkenness, and Ben Bennett, James Pnllock, and Hugh Carr, for larceny of shirts from Mr. fowler, Victoria street.

Yesterday afternoon Detective Walker brought a young girl before Mr. Seth Smith, K.M., named Carrie Best, whom he had arrested for larceny of a locket and chain, the property of Mrs. Poison, Archhill. The girl had been washing at the house, and appropriated the trinkets, which she pawned with a pawnbroker, and released a pair of boots which she had there. On being brought before the magistrate, she pleaded guilty, char d hef firßt offeuce ' she was dis " Mr. -S. X** 1 , 0 forwards a reply to " Avondale, in which he say! that in the extracts given by him from Mr. Waring letter there is every nord he wrote, "either with regard to his system or mine." Mr. Vaile concludes:-» As the department clings to Mr rnce- Williams' last expressed opiuion with the tenacity of a death grip, it may be as well if I state all that occurrnd between that gentleman and myself. I first met him on the ord of February, having called on him in the usual way, and should have taken my leave in the usual time had he not requested me to stay. The second interview took place at his request on the following day, and he left Auckland on the 6th. These are the only occasions on which I had the pleasure of meeting him. As I have before said, very little time was devoted to discussing my own proposal, an.! most certainly I did not attempt to describe my system to him." Result of election for Wade Licensing Committoc, March 21at, ISS7 : — William Ellas, IS ; Thomas Lees. 47 ; John Moffat, 47 ; Timothy Foley, 45; John McKeoun, 43; George Arkle, 41; Andrew Jack, 41; James Lord, jun.. 40; Enoch Bond, 39; J °c n Wesley Griffin, 35. The Returning Officer, Mr. Seaman, declared the first five gentlemen duly elected, and appointed the first met ting of the committee, for the election of a chairman, to bo held at the storo of Mr. Lees, on the same evening at eight o'clock ; at which meeting Mr. Elias was elected chairman. The lire elected were avowedly "moderate" men, and the remainder of blue ribbon principle?.

Messrs. Ehrenfried Brothers offer a reward of £250 for information that will lead to the conviction of the person or persous who set fire to their store in Lower Quoen street. Our Rahotu Correspondent writes: — On the Sth a very serious acoident occurred in one of the gravel pits. I have been informed the cause was owing to tho stripping being not left clear, but rather undermined. A slip took place, burying the man Renton completely op, but the other men soon had 1 him out. He says he could feel them digging I for him, but could not speak, and was afraid they would be driving a pick into him. Fortunately nothing of the sort occurred. Dr. Watts was at the hotel, and examined him. An arm and leg were fractured, be- j ddes other injuries. The injured man was conveyed by the contractor for whom he was working to New Plymouth, in Mr. •fames Morgan's buggy, who kindly placed it at the poor sufferers service, as is his way at all times. It seems a pleasure to Mr. James Morgan to assist any one in need, die poor sufferer was thirty miles from the hospital at New Plymouth, and it was very kind of Mr. Morgan, indeed. Mr. Renton is a married man. Ho made a trip to the Fumberiey goldfields, and returned with less money than he started with, but he has property in this district, and when he came up hands were scarce, so ho went on wages to help with metilling the road. The doctor hopes for a speedy recovery at the hospital.

"T.A." writes on the problem of "keeping the money in the country," but we have not at present room for his "letter. He concludes thus :—" If we as a community can foster local industries, and thus redace the amount of 6ur imports, it is probable that in she course of time our exports of wool,

wheat, mutton, gold, gum." etc., will not only pay the cost of our reduced imports, but also the interest on our loaua ; then our finances would be on a far sounder basis,

and the future outlook would be more promising."

"We call attention to the sale to be held by Messrs. E. Tonks and Co. at their stores tomorrow, of buggies, dogcarts, and waggonette, huilt by the well-known makers, W. and E. Basten. The sale tikes place on account of the dissolution of partnership of the firm, and is rendered necessary to close accounts prior to the new firm taking over the business. A full description of the vehicles, which are now on view at the auction mart, is given in the auction ad» vertisement. The waggonette took first prizs at our annual show, and all the bugjies and ' dogcarts are well and faithfully constructed.and finished in the style which has made the names of the builders so well and favourably known. We remind intending purchasers and the trade that the large sale of salvage stock of oilmen's stores, teas, tobaccos, &c, from the late !ire at the bonded store of Mr. A. Heather takes place at Firth's bonded stores, by Messrs. B. Tonks and Co., auctioneers, at eleven o'clock to-day. _ Mr. Charles Collier announces in our advertisement columns that he has commenced business as a "collier"and firewood dealer, in his yard in Hobson-street, opposite Manro and Milligan's drapery warehouse. The annual meeting of the Auckland Regatta Club will be held on Monday next. The municipal offices have been removed to the new Free Library buildings, Wellesleystreet. Messrs. J. and J. Buchanan, monumental masons, Wellesley-street. announce that they are selling every description of tombstones, etc., on the deferred payment system.
