SUPREME COURT.

|PKU PRBSB ASSOCIATION.]

Auckland, Nove»fcs*3o The chemist, W. Powell, who was charged with using instruments for an unlawful purpose was found guilty and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. Wellington, December 1. » In the murder trial, Lynch was ex amined this morning but nothing new was elicited. Peterson and Stohr both said Finlay was on the ground when he fired first, in this respect contradicting Campbell, who said he was not knocked down. Lynch did not know whether Finlay was knocked down or not The Chief Justice'ssummingup finished at 8.30 p.m., when the jury retired. His Honour submitted the following issues to the jury:—(1) Was the discharge of the pistol accidental or intentional ? (2) If intentional, was it done by prisoner in self-defence, and to protect himself from death or serious bodily injury intended towards him by deceased, or, though such was not intended by deceased, was it done in self-defence ? (3) from the reasonable apprehension of death or serious bodily injury induced by the words and conduct of deceased and those acting in concert with him, although deceased may net in fact have intended death or serious in jury 1 (4; If not in self-defence was it done after an assault made by deceased on prisoner, though short of an assault calcu lated to kill or cause serious bodily in jury ? (5) Was the effect of the conduct of deceased such as to provoke the angry passions of prisoner, or to cause such alarm as to deprive prisoner for the time of his reason and power of self-control ? This is the first time in the colony in which distinct issues have been placed before a jury in a murder trial. The jury returned at 10.30 p.m. They found Finlay " Not Guilty " of murder, but on issues Numbers 4 and 5, found him "Guilty " of manslaughter, and added a rider recommending His Honour to inflict the severest punishment allowed for man slaughter.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment exert a rapidly favorable effect in all those diseases which are induced by exposure to damp or by great changes in temperature. They will therefore be tound eminently serviceable to those who work in iron foundries, oopper mines, and collieries. These well-known remedies present manifest advantages in respect of use and effectiveness, are entirely compounded of vegetable drugs selected with the greatest care and regardless of pi ice. When used in accordance with the ample printed directions which accompany them, they act surely but mildly, and do not aterfere with the daily work. There 'are but few diseases which are not capable of cure—or, at all events, of great relief—i Hol[owa>'s remedies are perseveringly used.f
