The Evening Star. MONDAY, JULY 4, 1870.

The mission of the New Zealand Com missioners will nob have been fruitless It is true it has failed in the main or ostensible purposes for which it was created. The British regiment if nor mythical at first, has some time "ince faded from view, and the highly or ganised forces under whose protection New Zealand was to repose in .peace, have been'disbauded : and their great efforts over, Messrs. Ferherston and Bell have been enjoying the otium cum diginilale in the " Charing- Cross Hotel." But as we have said the mis-don has not been in vain, and the million loan guaranteed by the British Government, gives ground for as much if not more gratification than the suc cessful conipletioti of the main purposes of the Commissioners. Had the regiment been obtained, it would no doubt have been the means of circulating a good deal of money, aud would have given no inconsiderable impulse to depressed trade; and had the highly organised *orce~ been em bodied, they would have given competence and comfort to the swarm of captains and colonels in esse or in posse, with which this unhappy coun try is afflicted. But what would either or both of these results have been as compare! with the vista opened up in the million loan, rither of the for mer in i4.lt only hay* benefitted special classes, but who can say who may not have a share in the pickings from the expenditure of a million sterling. To the members of the legislature it ii? a

real godsend. The legitimate revenues of the country are strained to the

utmost and there is a danger of pub-

lie feeling awaking, and, as in others of

the colonies, demanding with indignation

that not only should no fresh appoint

tneu.be'mad- to the civil service, butthat

even of those who have been in the

enjoyment of the gifts of a beneficent

country, we should keep "no more

eats than catch mice." We say there is a danger ol* this; circumstances point to it, and in at least two of the neighbouring colonies the public voice lias demanded and effected the most sweeping reductions. Now any one that wishes well to the success of " government by party " must see that such a result would be disastrous in the extreme ; and tha* should a com mission be appointed in answer to the popular demand, consisting of me^h'jit and business men, to ipjfjjj ]_"t IE S realms of res* cjALE :— . - in ' w,,at rr FARMS ' ■-,u' lil«an,!) fjßl " r° - j pert_x_a^_ with fewer offices aim offi cials, a whole army of the most respectable people in the colony would be thrown on their own rescources. And not only so, but for many years to come, no prospect could be held out to the "waiters on Providence" of snug sinecures mid comfortable provi sion from the funds of a long suffering people. To '.nil the people into peace, and to postpone such a sad denouement inter years of quiet expenditure and enjoyment, the million loan will come to us most opportunely. By legislatois in an especial manner is the million loan to be hailed with joy. It, is true that a goodly proportion of them have been comfortably provided for, and according Io the wise provision of our constitution, while still in the discus sion of great political questions ami impartial legislation,enjoy at the hands of ministers of the Crown comfortable situations iv the Civil Service. Still there are some who have been left out in the cold, and the expenditure of a million "easy come easy go" will suffice to set all matters to right. A large portion of the amount will necessarily be expended in opening up roads through the dis turbed districts; and in such circum stances the ordinary system of open contract would never do. In fact, it might at any timj embroil our rela tions with the natives, and the man or the journal who would demand that J hi. expenditure should be directed otherwise than that which is the es tablished and proper system in dealing with native tribes is a traitor to the country ! Native

questions are not understood by the general public, and only by the ini tiated.

But it is in view of an approaching general election, the subject becomes invested with fullest interest. What issues will be dependent on the result of the votes ? To have a voice in making ducks and drakes with a mil lion . sterling! The billets, the con tracts, the commissions ! for self and friends. What a mysterious interest will hover over our first ballot-box.

Nothing more has been heard of the missing y,icht Africa.

VAGRANCY. The same prisoner, for being an idle and disorderly person, was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months with hurd labour. IAiiCKNT. David Thompson was charged by Albert Doruwell with having, in the beginning of __SiD_ stolen one butcher's block from ~~~" ttnd-street, his property, of the value of ■iP - - - * acre Waited. f°r fche defence. TBURBAiVpecter Hroham stated that *W.__ -vV tn»--oi had inform d l"v»-'_h *• ... , <tid. ]»•• ployed counsel lor the p;. r-; all neces- '-''c last, minute had come to linn unci i_Keil him to prosecute. He there!' re had not had time to get up tha case, but if Mr. Doruwell still wished hint to go on with the case he would. Albert Dornw 11, deposed : I am a butcher, residing in Queen slreet. I know the prisoner. Ido not know his occupation. I have had a butcher's block, which 1 accu.-ehim of taking. I first missed it a wet kag ■. 1 had left it on a, vacant, al otment in Shortland-street. There wis no one in charge, and nothing else there belonged to me. 1 have had the block for three or four years. I Iwve since seen it in a butcher's shop in West Q ci n-stivet. The name over the shop is Nelson and Co. I saw a person, I think Mr. N. lson. 1 was not then qiite posi.ive that, trie l>io<-k was mine; it had been altered. Prisoner told tne he had brought ir. from Onehucg.-t, from Mr. Gibb's yard. Nelson sail he hail bought it from Mr. Thompson ;he aid not say when. I had gone from town in th- heg'iiningt f June, and came bad. at the end. The block may have been missing before I left town. I »u_ quite sure now the block I stw in Nelson's is mine. I brought some men and examined it by lifting it up and down-it w s mine. The men pre-ent were James and Tom Lot-kit. To Mr. Joy : I swear the value of the block ,is £5. I believe I paid that for it four or five years a^o. It has h-en lying on the Viicint allotment for seven mom lis. 1 have I not the block in Court; I did not subpoena the partie- to produce it; I did not, tell the police to bring it; it was not lying on my > property ; it was not protected by fence or wall ; it was left expesed on the lot ; there are lots of other old tilings lying there. I was iioiiig up .-hortland-street and I missed the block ; I made enquiry of Mr. Langfford and Dyer. I suspected thai Somebody opening a . new shop would have it. It is not an op position shop; it may fed a pound or so of beef, but does me no harm. Several parties wanted to buy it. I went to Nelson and (Jo. because I would most likely find it there. Hie reason I laid this information is because is j was my duty a-> a citizen. It was the very afternoon 1 missed it that I laid the informa tion. 1 mean a near to the time as I possibly could. I v.as advised to set 1c it. 'J here were tw > or thr ? interviews with Thompson before I laid the informal on. I said to j Thomp-on if he would give me £5 all would Ibe right; if he would not, he must bear the con-equences. I was offered £2 for the block by Thompson. I refused it, and said " Well thei you must suffer the consequences." All this passed before I laid the information, vlr. Wilson said he had bought the block from Thompson and paid 10s for it. This was in Queen-street. I remember in the presence of two persons Wdson saying that if I could swear to the block I mig'.it take it away. It was aft-r this conversation and their refusing to pay me £5 that I laid the in formation. It was several days after that I had a conversation with Detective Ternahan. I asked Mr. Wynn's a j vice on this matter. He does not a pear foe mo here to day. To the Bench : I identify thu block by cross-cut jigged marks on the bottom. I be lieve they do not dispute the property of the block. James Nelson deposed : I am a butcher in West Qaeen-.-treet.. Defendant was engaged on commission by me. D ,riiwell was in my shop on Friday week and several times ..e ---sides. lie asked me where I got the block. I said from Thompson. I ha 1 received it from Thompson in first week of June. I paid the piisoner nothing for it. He had male enquiries and could find no owner for it. Told Doruwell and his men to examine ihe block iv any way the liked. I did not tel Dornwell that I gave lUs to Thompson tor it. Nothing ot tho sort. To Mr. Joy: The sta fement made by. Doruwell that I paid ten shillings to Thomp-on fjr it is quite falso I am iv opposition to Doruwell, und d ,ing a lair business. I would not have taken the block only we could find no owner for it. It was lying as rubbish. I would rot pay more than 15s or a pound for it. I went up to Dornwell's shop and said if h* could identify the block I would give it up. I offered £2 for it, sooner than have any tr üble with him ; lie replied he would not take £4 19s llfd for it Tho iias Baird was present when I made the offer. Thomas Lockwood deposed : I am in Dorn weh's employment. I remember going to Wilson's shop with Doruwell. Saw the block in question there; it had been Dornwell's. I had seen it in an open space in Shortland street. It is a round block, about four feet high and five feet across. To Mr. Joy : I am still in Dornwell's em ploy. Would not give £5 for it; its value I think is £5 ;itis as good as new. I would ray the » mie price for it as if new. 1 would pay £. for it, if, I couLd not get it for less. This was the case for the prosecution. i . Mr. Joy asked for the case to be, dismissed. ■ It was at ase of most gross nmlicious persecu tion, with the intention of extorting an exorbitant price for the block. Tne prosecutor had taken the criminal law-into his own hands ; and he asked whether lie had any case lo meet before he proceeded to call witnesses. . Tho Bench at once dismissed the case.

LAKCEISY. James Hall was charged with stealing v bell, value liis, the property o; Edward Long. E. Long, depo.ed : I know the prisoner;, I saw him on Saturday. He went into the room

ASSAULT. James Green was charged by Michael Skerry of assault ing him on the 28th June, by striking him with a riding whip. Mr. ifennett for plaintiff; Mr. Joy for the dofi-nce.

Michael Skerry deposed : I am a boarding house keeper. Saw the defendant on Thurs day ni^ht, in Queen-street, near Wakefieid street, about 11 o'clock. He was standing with a mob, and i t-aid, " Good-night, Mr. Green." lie said, "I don't look blue, do I?" He then followed and struck tne on the head with a whip-handle He said, " That's the b— that pounded my goat." I replied that he should be at home with his wife and family, lie then followed and struck me on tne side of the head. My head bled, and was painful. A doctor attended me for that blow.

To Mr. Joy : I am an Irishman. Have engaged a doctor. I always pay the doctor. 1 am all right in the head now, but am still suffering headache. Was in the Wheat sheaf with some friends ibout half-pa^t eleven to look fa- a man. I had nothing to drink there. The bar door was then shut. Do not remember the landlady laying her hand on my shou der and telling me to go out. Was the first to say good night. Did not say " Bight, left, right, left.' liave heard that Green is a wachuian in Queen-street. I did not say "You arc- an old crawl er," or a .' b old thief," or an " old rogue," or any provoking language. I was passing by him when I said " Go home to your wife.''

Dr. J-to kwell, deposed : Was called in to see Skerry about half-past twelve at night; he was suffering from a slight contusion on left side of his head, which was bleeding a little ;it was not itself dangerous; its after results might be ; never saw anything serious result from such a wound.

To Mr. Joy: Would not say that Skerry was in danger of erysipe'as. Charles Powell, deposed : I am a steward on board a ship, now residing at Mr ."•kerry's. Knew defendant; saw him on Thursday night, about eleven. This witness corroborated generally previous evidence, but stated that in the Wheatsheaf f-kerrj aud he had beer. Skerry had said to Green, " __ou ought to be horn-- with your wife." Green replied that he should not syeak about his wife, and ran after him and struck him.

To Mr. Joy: I swear positively that we had been together in the Wheatsheaf. In addressing Green, Sfeiry did not speak in a fiiendly manner. Do not think he siiid in a friendly way, "Go home to your wife." I must admit it was in a taunting, insulting way. Green then said ho had no busino.-s io speak about his wife, and it was then he _truck him.

Sergeant-Major Morrison deposed to having seen the wound and sent for the doctor.

Constable Halloran deposed, after the pas sage of words about " gre-m" and " blue," Skerry said, "If not, you're an od crawler." Urecn leplied, "I never crawled fro.n you." The other replied, '■ Yes, you paid the fees for the goat." " I did not," said the defendant. " You're a liar," said the complainant. " Don't call me a liar,'' said the defendant. I then Separate! them, and told them to go home, and was going away, when I heard complain ant, 30 or 40 feet up Wakefield-strett, call out, " If you go home to your wife, you'll fi,id some one with her." Defendant called out, " What's that you nay ?" and ran towards him. 1 ran also, but he wa3 in advance of me. 1 found them struggling for the whip produced, and with difficulty succeeded in taking it. I did not see a blow struck, but complainant told me he was struck. I saw the wound, and went for the doe tor. .

Cuse dismissed with full costs. A counter charge of insulting language w as withdrawn.

Eliza Beal deposed : I am the wife of Geoige Beal, resitting in Duke-street. I live mar defendant. On the 26th instant, at two o'clock in the afternoon, I went into my own yard, which adjoins that of defendant. She came off her own premises, and said to me, " You d—ohlb—, I'll give it to you," and attoi her worse expression. She constantly abuses me, and 1 cannot live in peace. Mho defendant made a long. statement., tending to throw the blame of the quarrel on complainant. Ordered to find two sureties in £10 each to keep the peace for three months Court adjourned for half an-hour. The Court resumed ai 2.15, and the business was proceeded with.

LATEST THAMES NEWS.

[FHOM OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The news I have to forward you is encourage ing, several of the principal mines having 6truck very rich gold. , he Eureka on Saturday took out some splendid specimens, and a number of Eurekas have been bought. The Cure, Waitemata, and Alburnia have also stone to grass. The Inverness is showing up well, and another dividend may be looked for shortly. The Una have obtained 175 ozs retorted from their late crushing.

MR. S. HAGUE SMITH.

On Friday, in a small paragraph, we staled thatone of our principal merchants in Queen-street had suspended payments ; and it is with much gratification that we have learned that, at a meeting of creditors this morning, the gentleman referred to (Mr. S. Hague Smith) made certain proposals, which have been ac cepted almost unanimously, and that matters have been satisfactorily arranged. From the statement of accounts sub mitted, it appears that in January, 1867. Mr. Smith had a balance in his favor of £22,838, and that, his loses wince have amounted to £33,106, his loses since i hri-tmas alone having amounted to £11 244. It appears that the total amount of liabilities is £29,000, and .that- after paying off mortgages the assets are valued at £21,000. There was a very full atten dance of creditors, and warm sympathy was generally expressed Tor Mr. smith. .
