The Banking Committee.

Wellington, Ju'y >7 Prior to the meeting of the Barking Committee this morning the Sub-C«m mittee met to consider the evidence to be called Considerable dibcussion took place upon the motions of which Mr Guinness had given notice, relating to Walter Guthrle and Company and other Cornp' n es connected with that firui. Mr Montgomery moved that the Sub Commiuea could not, in the absence of proof of the connection of these motions, with the subjt co matter in the order of reference, re< oenmend that this evidence is i equiied at predent. Mr Seddon obj cted to this, contending that Mr Goiuutss should be given an opportunity of showing tha* tho evident asked fur in his motion was relevant The revelancy oould be found in the Insurance and Banking Record Mr Steward moved chat Mr Montgoro ery'a motion be not now pub, but this waß lost, and Mr Montgomery's motion was carried on the voices. Immediately on. the Bank Committee meeting, the room was cleared, and the Committee proceeded to deliberate, which they did for an hour and a half, when persons interested were re-admitted. At 12.50 the chairman told Mr Watson that the Committee would repeat the qatbtion which he had declined to answer yesterday, with regard to the writings-ofi, in connection with the Bank of New Zca land in 1888, thus giving him another opportunity of ai.Bwering it. The chair man then pub the question as follows : What are the names of persons and corporations in whose favour such writings-off took place ? Mr Watson replied : I regret that I have to repeat my former answer, namely, having regard to the terms of my appoint ment and the declaration of secrecy 1 must decline to give any information regarding any Individual accounts whatever, either past or present, and I am acting under the advice of the bank's counsel ; and further, I consider it is my duty to the bank and the colony to decline to give such Information. Mr Hutchison moved that the Com mittee proceed to deliberate. Mr Watson : When shall I be wanted again. The chairman : Not to day. Mr Seddon : Ih is very likely that when you are wanted again we shall bend for you. The Committee then gab with closed doors; bub their decision waa not made public. At 1.15 p.m. the Committee adjourned till 11 a. m. to-morrow. '

The Fomahaka Murder.

THE INQUEST AND VERDICT. DuNEDiN, Joly 15 The inquest touching the circumstances connected with the death of Mary Matson was commenced at Lawrence to-day. Mr S. Solomon is watching the case for Carl Mat son, and Mr Hanlon for Hannah Bertha Clark, who were present in oustody. John Bain, a rabbiter on Clydevale, who could remember days but not dates, in the course of his evidence said that he gave Matson some letters and read them 10 him. One was from Mrs Matson, who wrote that she was living at Clinton, and asked to be taken back as they were man and wife, and she did not wish any woman to come between them. Matson said in a desperate tone that she .was back, but would not be there long., Witness saw Matson driving Clark to Clinton, and two days later on saw him going to Clinton with a box which, he says, was Clark's. Witness went to Clinton that day and 6aw Matson and Clark there. The. latter was going away by the train. When witness got home Matson was sitting at his door. Matson said that his horse had knocked up, and that he was frightened to go home. Matson s place was six miles distant from witness' houee, the latter being ten mi 63 from Clinton, Matson remained all night. Witness and Hilton chaffed him about taking the young one away and getting the old one back. Matson said that he would not be humbugged with the old bitch much longer. Matson left for his home next morning. Witness found the body of Mrs Matson floating in a lago*a on July 4 and pulled it out. There was an ordinary sack over the head, tied with a piece of rope round the neck, and another sack had been prilled , 'over the legs. The bag was torn, leaving the feet partly expoßed. There were stockings on both feet f nd one elastic shoe on. P. Hilton, a'nother rabbiter, gave cor roborative evidence. Detective Herbert gave evidence that when prisoners were arrested Matson said •I am not guilty. I struck her with a whip but it was only the lash.' Clark Baid, 'They have often quarrelled, but I never knew him to strike her.' The inquest will not be finished to-night. The sacks and some of the clothing of tho unfortunate woman were produced, but the odour became unbearable and they had to be removed from the room. Dunbdin, July 16 At the inquest at Lawrence yesterday Detective Herbert said the tope tied round the Back in which the body was found corresponded with the rope attached to Matson's plough. The inquest touching the death of Mary Matson, whose body was found in a lagoon near the Pomahaka river on the 4th inst., was continued to-day. Sixteen witnesses were examined, including two doctors, and the taking of evidence was concluded at 5.30, when an adjournment was made till evening. Dr Niooll said that on the left side of the head he found an oval-shaped wound about an inch long and from half an inch to three quarters an an inch broad. The bone was exposed and (he edges of the wound were slightly ragged. There was also a star shaped wound over the right temple. In his opinion -the first wound was produced by a blunt instrument used with a large amount of violence, and was sufficient to cause death. The skall was slightly indented, not fractured. He was' unable to say whether drowning or suffocation was the cause of death. The condition of the heart made him think that the woman had died of a slow process, auoh as drowning, rather than a wound. He did not think that the ' woman was killed by an instrument and the body thrown into the water. '■''' Dr Sutherland i' who assisted at the post inorUtn, said that it was possible that the woman had died of her wounde, but it was improbable. W. M. Browri, a rope expert, gave evi dence that the ropes found tied around the body were similar in every respect to the ropes found on Matson*B plough. A witness named Duthie, a shepherd, stated in the course of his evidence, that when he urged Matson to put the girl Clark away when his wife was coming back as they would be fighting, Matson said that he would leave the gun loaded with the «irl, and she could use it if the old woman inter fered with her in his absence. He Baid that he would keep the girl in the hut with him, and he would keep th~> wife in a tent, a few yards away. Witness said "It won't do at all, Charlie ; put the girl away." " Well," he said, "if she kicks up a row, I will club her brains out," at the same time taking up a rabbit-grubber or small adze. Witness aaid "That will be murder, you know ; you will get hung for that." He exclaimed "No fear; I'll cub my throat." He said that his wife was the cause of putting him to a lot of trouble, The Coroner in addreßaing the jury pointed specially to Ihe statement made by Matson to Constable Broberg, in which he admitted having struok his wife as he was leaving for Clinton, and that when he looked back he Baw her lying there kicking on the ground. Tho Coroner said that it seemed to him that Matson must have stunned her. He also pointed out that there was a creek near Matson's house in which there were deep holes. That creek flowed into the Pomabaka. The jury after a two hours' absence re turned a verdict that they were unanimous that Mary Ma'son came to her death by murder, and two thirds of the jury found tb*b Carl Mataon was guilty of that murder.

BunBDIK, tiuly 1? At the Magistrate's K ourt, Lawrence, Carl Mafcon anH Hannah Bertha Clark were charged wnh the murder, on or about the 22nd Fetru'.ry luat, ut Pomahaka, of Mary Macaon. Mr U. tf. Hawkins, S.M., pre sided. The evidence so far is the same as that given at the inquest. Charles Johnson, a rabbiter at Clydevale, ' aaid that Mrs Matson was very bad tern- i pored and often used very bad language to Matson, She was a regular Tartar, and he used to pity Matson. He had seen the pair quarre', but had nev«r seen Matson ill-treat her. On one occasion when she aggravated him Matson kept silent for a long time, but at length approached her with his clenched fiV, wh9n witness said ' none of that.' There aie only three witnesaes to be examined to-morrow. DuNEDiy, July 18 The Magisterial enquiry resulted in the committal of Matson for trial, and the discharge of the girl Clark.

THE AUSTRALIANS AT HOME

AUSTRALIANS v. ALL ENGLAND. London, July 16 The weather and wicket remained perfect throughout the day, and there were 16,945 who paid for admission. Iredale and Giffen nlayed all the bowlers with freedom, except Grace, and the veteran frequently puzzled them. Giffen batted for ten minutes short of a couple of hours for his 80 runs, and never gave what could be called a chance. He hit J2 fours. Iredale and Giffen caused frequent changes in the bowliug, and Stoddarb was tried, but no separation was effected until the score stood at 232 when Iredale attempted to cut a straight ball from the Lancashire professional and retired The retiring batsman had been at the wicket for two hours and twenty minutes, and though he made a lew uppih hits they fell clear of any fieldsman. Jtie hit 12 fours, but the majority of runs were obtained by neatly placing the ball to square leg. 1 Trott and Gregory hit out merrily while associated, and knocked up their runs iu fifty-two and forty minutes respectively. Lilley, the wicket-keeper, was put on as a last resource, and Brown donned the gloves. This pair between them brought about the downfall of Trott. Hill and Donnan carried up the score to 314, when the latter was yorked by Richardson. Hill was out after another run was added, and Trumble subse quently played a fast one from Richardson on to his wicket. The following is the score for the whole innings : - Australians —First inniDga, Darling, c Lilley b Richardson ... 27 Iredale, b Briggs .. ... .. 108 Giffen, c and b Richardson. ... .. 80 Trott, oßrown.^b Lilley .-., .. ... 53 Gregory, c Stoddart b Briggs 25 Donnan. b Richardson ... 12 Hill, c Jackson b Richardson ... .. 9 Trumble, b Richardson 24 i Kelly, c Lilley b Richardson .. ... 27 McKibbin, not out .. 28 Jones, b Richardson ..... . . 4 Extras ... ... 4 Total .. .. 412 ' . London, July 17 On resuming to-day the weather was still fine, and the wicket again played oxcelently. The attendance was good. The Australian tail made a capital stand, and took the score to 412 before the last man was bowled. All England eleven were all disposed of for 231. Ata> Engl/Awd— First Innings.

Fourteen leading English cricketers were chosen from whom the final selection team was to be made, but Lohmann, Pougher, and Mold — three of the best bowlers — were rejected, as all were slightly lame as the result of their work in the county matches. The critics blame the Selection Ccmmittee for the paucity of the bowling element in the team. , Graham's exclusion from the colonial team was due to a Blight rheu matism, an ailment from which he suffered early in the tour. Jones, while trundling in the Leicestershire match, strained his side, and it was not until after much consideration that his in elusion was decided upon.
