Hello again all. Thanks to a private message from Karen Hitchcock, I have googled for "James Dilworth" and for his "Dilworth Ulster Institute". This gave a lot of great informative hits. Here is a link to one of the best of them: it is to the preamble of an Act of the NZ Parliament enabling the implementation of Dilworth's Will; and includes the wording of the relevant part of his Will. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/local/1902/0014/latest/DLM28072.html This tells us that destitute boys from Ulster in Ireland were to be selected, and brought to NZ to attend the Dilworth School in Auckland. >From another article, however, it was learned that bringing those destitute boys from Ulster was initially attempted, but did not work out -- as their parents did not wish to part with their youngsters at such a tender age -- just over 4 years of age --- ; so the Trustees' work was limited to an expanded region around Auckland. Hoping that this might interest others. Thanks again Elaine for the initial posting.

A POPULAR WEDDING AT THE PORT. While Napier was en fete with the Brunner demonstration yesterday, in which the Port took a large interest, and secured the first and no second prizes, firstly with the good ship "Brunner Relief," sailing gaily along the Marine parade, many of the residents at the Port and district were assisting at a voyage of an entirely different character, viz, the embarkation of a young couple on the ocean of matrimony. If the good wishes of the large assemblage who were present in the Port Presbyterian Church to witness the marriage of Mr H. J. BALL and Miss L, H. DENHOLM go for aught a long and prosperous voyage is in store for the happy pair. The bride, who is the third daughter of Mr and Mrs W. DENHOLM, two of the oldest and most respected residents of the Port, was most popular, having been born and educated at that place, and latterly had filled the position of head-mistress in the school in which she was educated. Mr Ball, the bridegroom, comes from Auckland, but has been identified with the Port and district for some time, and is deservedly popular with a wide circle of friends. The ceremony took place at 11 o'clock, the church being beautifully decorated with flora offerings for the occasion by a number of friends. Long before the wedding party entered the church the building was packed. The bridegroom, accompanied by his brother, Mr E. J. BULL, as bestman, took up their position, shortly after which the bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, followed by Misses Lizzie and Daisy DENHOLM, who acted as bridesmaids. The bride wore cream silk and point lace with a wreath of orange blossom and white nuns veiling, carrying a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, orange blossoms, and bridal lily, interspersed with maidenhair fern. The bridesmaids were attired in primrose crepon with buttercup ribbons, and carrying bouquets of white chrysanthemums and maidenhair fern (the gift of Mr WILSON), and each wore handsome gold bracelets, the gift of the bridegroom. The Rev. Dr. SIDEY, D.I conducted the service, assisted by the Rev C CONNOR. At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr C P CLARKE played the " Wedding March" as the bridal party left the church amid a shower of rice and good wishes. An adjournment was then made to the residence of the bride's parents where the wedding breakfast was laid. Mr H J TRIMMER proposed the health to the "Bride and Bridegroom," Mr BULL responding. Mr W. ASHTON proposed "The bridesmaids", Mr E J BULL responding on behalf of the young ladies. The newly-married pair left by train this afternoon en route for Auckland where the honeymoon will be spent. THE PRESENTS The wedding presents were numerous (MAINLY LOCAL) REFER TO PAGE 3 THE FULL LIST OF PRESENTS AND WHO GAVE THEM ARE THERE INCLUDING a Miss BULL and Miss CRISP from Auckland

Indramayo, for Gisborne Westport. Tuesday. The barque Coromandel will be towed to Wellington to-morrow for repairs, with her cargo of coal aboard.

Telegraphic. Auckland, Tuesday. Mrs CROWE, a resident at Otahuhu, is in a critical condition through burns. Owing to nursing a sick child almost night and day she fainted last night and fell over a fire, capsizing the kettle on her full of boiling water. At a meeting of the Charitable Aid Board, the chairman, Mr John BOLLARD said 200 children in Auckland and suburbs were being brought no prostitutes and thieves. He urged that these children be taken from their parents by the State and put in a special home. The expenditure would be £3000 a year. Gisborne, Tuesday. Mr H. BILL, F.G.S, of Napier, has reported on the proposed water supply for Gisborne. He states that except within a limited area the prospects are not good for an artesian supply, He favors obtaining water from a creek about 10 miles from town where the facilities are good for building a large reservoir. The Government to-day purchased 400 acres of land at Ormond for close settlement from Mr A. B. NEWMAN, the price paid being £20 per acre. Wellington, Tuesday. It is probable that at the next meeting of the College Governors a preparatory school will be established at the southern end of the city in connection with the Girls' High School, as it is felt that at present the building is in an inconvenient part of the city for the great bulk of the people. Captain ROSE, local manager of the New Zealand Shipping Company, leaves for Home in a few days. It is understood that he has come into a considerable sum of money by the death of a brother. In the Supreme Court a case BAMFORD v. the Loan and Mercantile Company was argued. This was an appeal from a decision of Justice CONOLLY in respect to an order made by that Judge that the deed of the Maungatautari block, which, the Auckland District Land Registrar had refused to register, should be registered. The appeal was dismissed, with costs on the middle scale. The New Zealand rowing representatives left for Sydney by the Hauroto tonight, and were accorded a most enthusiastic send off. Immediately on his arrival M'CORMICK will place himself in the hands of a professional coach and trainer, and RICHARDSON also intends to engage a professional trainer for the crew. The members of the party are all well, and had splendid practice to-day. The New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association's representative team also left by the Hauroto to-night Christchurch, Tuesday. At the Police Court this morning James Alexander Robertson, who was arrested on a charge of incediarism in connection with the Windsor fire, was charged with having assaulted his wife and threatened to shoot her. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and ordered to find two sureties of £25 to keep the peace for six months. Accused was also charged that he did willfully set fire to buildings and committed for trial. The city valuer reported to the Council last night that the ratable value of city property for 1595 was £189,866. This was less by £3300 than the amount of the previous year. The Selwyn County Council has granted Nelson Bros, a slaughterhouse license for their proposed freezing works at Hornby, though the application was strongly opposed by a number of residents in the district. In the case DANIEL v. Union Steamship Company, claim for £200 damages for injuries sustained while working for the Railway Department at Lyttelton at discharging cargo from the Talune, Mr BEETHAM. S.M., this morning awarded plaintiff £150, with costs £26 12s.

COURT OF APPEAL. A case in re DILWORTH is being argued at the Court of Appeal to-day. James DILLWORTH, late of Auckland, deceased, by his will bequeathed considerable property to trustees for the maintenance and education of destitute orphans or children of persons in straitened circumstances in the provincial district of Auckland, and in the province of Ulster, Ireland. The children were by the will directed to be brought up in the tenets of the Church of England. The question involved is whether a bequest for this purpose if exempted, by the Charitable Gifts Duties Exemption Act, 1883, from payment of duty under the Deceased Persons' Estates Duties Act, 1881. Justice CONOLLY held there was no exemption on the ground that the bequest was not to the public but to a sect or class. The executors are now appealing from this decision. Sir Robert STOUT appears in support of the Appeal, and Messrs Theo. COOPER and GULLY for the respondent Commissioner of Stamps. The Court reserved judgment,

Wow! Elaine: this is a fascinating snippet. What a great little research project that would make, to follow up on it. It would be great to know the result of the appeal; and also the details -- for my Irish interests of which Irish institutions or individuals benefitted from it. How magnanimous of him!
