The Evening Star. TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1870.

In consequence of an interruption in the telegraph wires between Auckland and the Thames, we have not recoivpd our usual tele grams.

A correspondent writing from Tuuranga on the 18th instant, says : —Our parish priest, the Bey. Patrick O'Brien, died on Sunday night last. He was found dead in his bed on Monday morning, and an inquest was held the same day. The jury returned a verdict

the effect that deceased died from heart dsseae. His remains were interred on Tues day.

The Sawke's Bay Herald of the 16th says : —"The English telegrams, which we pub lished on Saturday as an extra, cost us for transmission the sum of £2 12s. 6d. This is but one of the numberless expenses which newspaper proprietors of this age of telegrams have to bear, if they would keep pace with the times."

By the s.s. Keera we have received Hawke's Bay papers to the 16th instant, but they con tain very little news of interest. The Gf-our lay Family were performing to good houses, and Professor Dorney, the Wizard of the West, was playing at the Odd Fellows' Hall.

We regret to learn that duriug the con tinuance of the fire in Queen-street this morn ing, Sergeant-Major Morrison, when upstairs exerting himself to arrest the fire, fell through the floor. Fortunately the room into which he fell contained a large quantity of paper, or more serious injury might have resulted.

At the fire which occurred in Queen-street thia morning, a large quantity of samples were burnt, the property of Messrs. Patersou, Eay, Palmer and Co., of Melbourne, which happened to be in a large room on the pre mises which caught fire. The above firm's commercial* traveller, Mr. Orton, was quickly on the spot, and used every endeavor to save the property, but without avail, although after some hard work and amidst a dense smoke ho managed to save his portfolio containing orders and "other valuable documents.

As will be seen in several other columns, mine host of the " Occidental" has got a con signment of "Monongahela Whiskey," "what ever on earth that is. We have no doubt the term will convey ideas of something very luscious to connoisseurs.

Diphtheria, caused by the cold and wet weather, has made its appearance at Christ church, and in a number of cases of children has terminated fatally.

A large nugget was brought into Milton on Saturday last. It is about the size and shape of a pullet's egg, is apparently one mass of solid gold, weighs eleven ounces, and is said to be worth about £41. John Smith, in whose possession our correspondent saw it, says lie found it on the 27th ult., beneath a large boulder in a gully near to Mr. Mill's farm, about four miles From Milton, on the Canada Eoad. He and his three mates have been working in the gully, for the last three months, but hitherto have only made >( tucker." Smith says the gold in the locality is coarse (and in corroboration produced a very good sample), but patchy, and only found in very small quantities.— Otago Daily Times.

A Wanganui paper of August has the fol lowing : —.Major Kemp was sued this morning for the price of a crinoline, but as be would not pay, and did not appear to defend the case, he probably thought the whole thing beneath his dignity and notice. Considering that he has just received a large sum of money from the Government, he ought undoubtedly to pay for his crinoline. A Major ought always to keep out of Court if he can, but if he cannot he should go in honorably for a bigger thing than such a non-essential to the pristine beauty of the Maori figure as a crinoline.

The transfer books of the Long Drive Gold Mining Company will be closed from noon to day until noon on E'riday next, when a divi dend of £1 per share will be payable.

Members of the committee of the Tauranga Belief Fund are requested to send in their lists "with amounts received to the treasurers by the Ist proximo, as all lists will be closed by that day.

FIRE IN QUEEN-STREET.

A fibe broke out on the premises of Messrs. Watson, Scanlan and Co., oil and color merchants, Lower Queen-street, this morning, causing serious destruction to property. At three o'clock the alarm was given by the various fire-bells in the city, and a large number of persons were soon on the spot to render what assistance was in their power. The alarm was first given by Constables Brennan and Nash, who did much towards preventing the spread of fire to the adjoining buildings. The Fire Brigade also rendered valuable aid, and with the assistance of a hose from the stores of Messrs. Thornton, and Firth, the fire was subdued. We regret to learn that Messrs. Watson, Scanlan and Co. will be heavy losers by this unfortunate affair, nearly the whole of their stock Laving been consumed. We understand that the insurance companies affected by this fire are the New Zea land to the amount of £800 and the Vic torian to £1400.

LATE ROBBERY AT THE THAMES.

AKREST OF SUPPOSED KOBBEKS, AND EECOVEBY OF WATCHES.

You had yesterday, by telegraph, this bare faced robbery. It appears that Blundell has a very extensive business in the repairing of jewellery, and on Saturday had no less than forty watches, the greater part of them having been sent to repair. About eight o'clock, he removed the watches, as was his custom, from the window and placed them in a small box, prior to the removal of them to his bedroom. Before going into his room, he had occasion to step across to Mr. Wayte's for a Weekly Hehaid, taking care to see that the shop-door was securely fastened. On his return, within ten minutes, the door was, to all appearance, as he had left it; but judge of his surprise when the box from off the counter was miss ing, with its valuable contents. Great sym pathy is felt for Mr. Blundell, who will be a very heavy loser by. the affair. Information was at once given to the police, who have most assiduously worked for a clue, but up to the last moment no arrests had been made.

While writing, I have just heard that three men hare been arrested up the Waiotahi Creek, and that nearly all the watches have been recovered. The names of the men are Nash, Johnson, and Deaf Dick.—Hebaxd's Correspondent.

Edward Shepherd was charged by Ellen Dowd with having, at the Star Hotel, on the 15th August, supplied her husband, Peter Dowd, with a pint of beer when he was in a state of intoxication.

Mr. "Wynn for prosecution ; Mr. Tyler for the defence, who admitted holding a license.

Ellen Dowd, deposed; I am the wife of Peter Dowd, and live in Newton, keeping cows. On the 15th August my husband was sent to hospital, having a certificate from Dr. Kennedy that he was laboring under the horrors of drink. The "Star" is a few minutes' walk from my house. Between 8 and 9at night my husband left my house, and I fol lowed him to Shepherd's house, to prevent his getting more drink, and having an order (o see him to the hospital. I found him in the " Star" in Shepherd's presence, drinking beer. Prisoner called me a b , and said I de served kicking. My husband was then quite drunk, and unable to take care of himself. I went home and found the constable, and I brought him and he took my husband in a cab. To Mr. Tyler : Dr. Kennedy had given the order on my representation. Three weeks before he had been in hospital for the horrors. He was about a day and a night each time.

To the Bench : During the past four months my husband has been constantly getting drunk at the " Star."

Constable Green deposed : I went to take Dowd to the Hospital. Fouud him in the Star. He was drunk. I am positive about that.

To Mr. Tyler: He left his money with Shepherd. life walked out himself, but he was positively drunk. For the defence, Peter Dowd deposed : On the 15th I went to Shepherd's and drank a glass of beer. I don't remember seeing my wife there. I can't swear whether or not I was under delirium tremens. I remember finding myself next morning in the Hospital. I remember going somewhere in a nice carriage. It was not the first beer I had had that day. Cannot tell whether I was drunk or sobsr when I got the beer. I know that I got a genteel ride. I was not altogether drunk. Walter McColl deposed : On the evening of the 15th I saw Dowd come into the Star, and bought a pint of beer. We were looking over a plan of allotments. I did not consider him drunk. He may have had some drink. Shepherd addressed Mrs. Dowd in mild terms. This was about seven in the evening.

John McWaters deposed : I am a carter. On this occasion could not believe that Dowd was drunk.

The Bench considered that the prosecutor was warranted in bringing forth the case, but that sufficient evidence had not been proved to warrant a conviction, and dismissed the case. HOTTSE-BEEAK.IN 0-. Robert Mayne was charged, by David Troan with stealing from his house, at Remuera, on the 17th August, 1870, one ten pound note, seventeen one pound notes, and two half sovereigns, from a box, the property of David

Troan.

Mr. Wrigley and Mr. Tyler appeared for prosecution, and Mr. Bennett for the de-

fence.

David Troan, sworn, deposed : I am a far mer, residing at Remueva. The prisoner was living with me up to last Wednesday. On that day, about twelve o'clock, the prisoner left my house to come to Auckland. I asked him to go to Carey, Grilles, and Hunter, and get a cheque. He did not return to the house that day. I went to town to look for him. On Thursday I locked the door of the house, put the key in my pocket. I left some money in a box in the house —one ten pound note, seventeen one pound notes, and two half-sove reigns. lam sure| the money was in the house

when I locked it up. The prisoner's clothes, blankets, and tools, were in the house also. I saw them before I left. On my arrival in town I found that the prisoner had got the cheque from Carey, Grilles and Hunter, and had had it cashed at the bank. I went back to Newmarket to look for him. I did not find him. I came again into town, and saw an express man who drove the prisoner into town. After the conversation with the express man I went back home, thinking to find the prisoner ;he was not there. It was evening when I got back. I got a candle from a neighbour. The door of the house was still locked, but the staple had been drawn. I opened the door and went in. I first missed the prisoner's black coat. He had a grey one on when he went away, I then missed the prisoner's blaukets. I noticed that the coat of mine had been tossed about; it was in the box when the money was in. The pocket-book in which the money was in was lying at the top of the box empty. No one else, that I am aware of, knew I had the money in the box. The prisoner knew that I usually kept money in the box. I discovered the loss on Thursday evening ; the prisoner left on the previous Wednesday. I have not received any account of the cheque from Carey, Grilles and Hunter received by the prisoner. I came into town and laid this information ; and, in company with a con stable, I went on to the wharf, and found the prisoner on board a Thames steamer. He had on the black coat I missed from my home. He also had the blankets. The prisoner lias been living with me for four months. By Mr. Bennett: I have known the de fendant for some time. He has lately returned from England. He did not join me on the farm at Remuera. I had cattle on the farm at the time. Ido not know how many. The prisoner was not a partner with me in the cattle. To the best of my belief I have not leased the farm to the prisoner. I put up a house on my farm. 'Ike prisoner paid the carpenter for building it. Tho prisoner, within the last four months, has purchased cattle for the farm. The prisoner has lent me money several times, and he kept an account of it. The last cattle were bought in the prisoner's name. I usually put the key of the house in the thatch. Mayne knew where I kept it. I took it into town on Wednesday, so that Mayne, wauling to go in, must have forced himself in. He lias often returned me money received from Carey, Gilles and Co. The defendant has interest at tho Thames. I knew before the last time he went down that he had received the sum of £30 from Carey, Grilles and. Co. I did not, to the best of my belief, receive more than 2s 6d from the de fendant. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Bennet said he would not go any further in the case. Mr. Wyrra said that, after what had taken place, he would not proceed any further in the case. The Bench quite concurred in Mr. Wynn's remarks, and dismissed the cas3. ABUSIVE LANGUAGE. Catherine Johnson was charged, on fie information of James Lindsay, with using abusive and insulting language towards him on the 22nd inst., tending to a breach of tho peace. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor said that the defendant had been in the habit of calling him a rogue, etc. The Bench dismissed the case. The Court then rose.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'JOHN PENN.'

LATEST FROM WANGANUI,

We make the following extracts from the Wanganui Chronicle of the 20th inst. Selling Powder to the Natives. — A man named James Southcombe was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of selling powder to the Maoris. He will be brought up before the R.M. to-day. A correspondent writes : — " Halcombe i 3 still editor of the Independent, pending the arrival of the new editor, who is a Mr. John Hay, one of the firm of Hay Brothers and Wright, who recently, as drapers, became insolvent in Dunedin.

The Hon. Mr. Vogel is going to stand for the town of Wanganui.

The Veteran Volunteers have petitioned the Housa for a grant of land in or about Waitotara, in Wellington province. The petition is signed by Lieutenant David Atkinson.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A WOMAN AT ONEHUNGA.

On the arrival of the s.s. Sformbird, yes terday morning, from the Manukau, we ascertained that a man named J. Morrissy, a discharged soldier of the 18th Royal Irish, who was a passenger by the steamer from Auckland, lay in a very precarious condition, and was indeed at the point of death. Scarcely had this news reached us, when we fur ther learned that the man had rapidly sank and died. •

On making enquiry on board, we ascer tained that the unfortunate Morrissy had come by his death in the following manner. It appears that the Stormbird brought down as passengers twelve discharged soldiers of the 18th Royal Irish, who had pur posed settling in Wanganui. When this vessel was about to leave Onehunga on Tues day, a large number of the friends of the sol diers had assembled on the wharf for the pur pose of seeing them off. It appears that there had been a good deal of drinking, and from some causo or another a quarrel broke out, and something like " a free fight" ensued upon the wharf. So far as wo can learn, the deceased Morrissy struck another man named Connor, whereupon the wife of the Litter rushed at him, and seized him by the throat. This action proved fatal to Morrisay, because, being near the edge of the wharf, he was pre cipitated into the water, and struck the steamer heavily in his fall. Morrissy was picked up, put on board the steamer, a>;d brought down to Wanganui. During the passage lie complained of suffering from severe internal pain, and on his arrival here was evi dently in a sinking condition. Before medical assistance could be obtained, the unfortunate man ceased to exist. He died yesterday morning shortly after 9 o'clock.

A post mortem examination was made by Pr. Earle, and an inquest was held before H. Perham, Esq., coroner, which resulted in a verdict of manslaughter against Catherine Connor. A warrant was issued for her ap prehension on the 20th inst.

TAURANGA RELIEF FUND.

A meeting of the Tauranga Relief Fund Committee was held yesterday evening at the Nor!hern Club. Mr. E. Isaacs in the chair. Mr. W. T. Snell acted as secretary. Present: Messrs. H. Isaacs, Way, Corlett, Morrison, Bucholz, Hurst, Shera, Hobbs, and Rowe. A long conversation took place as to the distri bution of the funds, in which Messrs. Hurst, Rowe, Corlett, and Shera took part, and it was formally resolved that the secretary should forthwith advertise that all subscription lists should be closed, and that the amounts col lected should be sent in by the Ist September.

It was also resolved that Messrs. Shera, Hobbs, and the chairman should form a sub committee to investigate the actual necessities of the various sufferers, and the extent of their families, with power to grant immediate temporary relief to those requiring it. Mr. Shera proposed, and Mr. Hurst seconded, " That Messrs. Corlett and Murray, be added to the committee."

The Committee agreed to re-assemble as soon after the Ist of September as possible, to determine upon the final distribution of the funds on hand. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

SERIOUS STABBING CASE.

A man naned John Driver was arrested at Onehunga on Saturday by Constable Negus, on the charge of stabbing a Maori woman at Mangere, named Maria. The accused, it is reported, was quarrelling with Maria's hus band, and on her making the attempt to separate them, the prisoner drew a knife and stabbed her in the upper part of the thigh. The prisoner was remanded by Capt. Symonds, Resident Magistrate, for a few days, he being obliged to proceed to the Thames to con duct an election as Returning Officer, and at present the number of Justices of the Peace in Onehunga is reduced to one. The charge very narrowly missed being the capital one of murder, as Mr. Purchas, the medical gentle man who was called in, reports that the slab was very close to the foemoral artery, in which event death would v ost probably have ensued before assistance could have been rendered. The wound, though deep and severe, is b -lieved not to be dangerous.

"BARBEROUS" USAGE. To the Editor of the Evening Stab,

g lßj —Would you kindly give me your ad vice on the following subject : —

I received a visit from that interesting city official, the Inspector of Nuisances, who pre sented me with a document as follows: —

" Take notice. —You arc requested, within 24 hours, to remove your sign poles from over the public footpath. —I am, sir, " Thomas Young-, " Inspector of Nuisances."

Now, sir, every one knows that in all Eng lish towns from time immemorial hair-dres sers have had the right to affix a pole as a sign of their calling to their premises, and why should Auckland authorities strive to make themselves odious by adding to their code such ridiculous rules. It will be remembered that the police made an onslaught upon the Auckland hair-dressers for shaving on Sun day, and got laughed at for their pains, and it seems that the city authorities are doing their best to obtain a share of public ridicule. I would ask through your columns whether there is any law compelling the removal of the obnoxious poles.—l am, &c 5

THE ROAD STEAMER.

Tiie Provincial Government have received advices from Messrs. Ridgway and Sons respecting the road steamer ordered some time ago, as stated in these columns. It appears that the description of engine ordered was a 10-horse power, at a cost of £750. Mr. Thomson, it appears, has given up manufac turing engines of this description, but the nearest approach to it is a 12-horse-power, at a cost of £800. This description of engine has therefore been ordered for the Provincial Government, but in consequence of pressure of work, it will bo three months before it can be completed. We shall look forward to the advent of this steamer as an epoch in the annals of the development of the internal re sources of this colony.
