The Evening Star. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1870.

At a meeting of the Caledonian Company, to-day, the Directors were empowered to make arrangements for the amalgamation of the Young American and to issue 28u additional £12 shares.

It is really intolerable that, the public should be put to such inconvenience as is now felt, in the Police Court, owing to the neglect of Ma eistrates To-day again everything was at a standstill, owing to the non-appearance of the Justices whose names appeared on the Rota. Messrs. L. D. Nathan and If. Morrow. The absence of Mr. Nathan is sufficiently explained hy the fact that to-day is a sacred day in his religious belief, being the commencement of the Hebrew year. Hut really Mr. Morrow i taking too much on himself in trifling wilh the Courl". His total absence from the hall* of jus'i'-e perhaps n ight not injuriously affect the public interest, but being expe"ted to-daj, and no substitute suppl ed, this gentleman hits had it in his power to commit a great annoy ance After a long delay, on the sensible suggestion of a learned counsel, the police were despatched to '" collar the first person met and nsk him i' he was a magistrate." Even tually Mr. Ritchie, whose time has b.-en so frequently given to supply the wunt created by others' indolence, app wed, nn I in a few minutes completed the business of the Court.

A sermon on the subject of War was delivered by the Rev S. Edger to a large and attentive congregation ah llie Music Hal! Symnnds i-ireet, last evening. The rev. gentleman tool for his text the eighth verse of the ti'ii'iy third ehnpter of Ezeliel, and dwelt at lengih and with great ability on four argument generally accepted as ju-tifying war—that i is ii necessary evil ; that it tends to cherish pertain virliiPS; that ir. creates Boeial inter course to the advantage of the world ; and that moral laws must be maintained hy phv sictl force. The preacher handled each of the above su'je ts minutely, evidently showing that he had thought and read de-ply on the question ntissue. He concluded that war was not. only justifiable but hateful and sinfiil in th' ,!it of God, and that if the Cburch whi i v-ivjented public opinion would do ils pr.ii. ii i!i iiouucing it, there would be no inert. bloods- c.! and no more war. At the conclu sion of ihe ?• rvice, Mr. Edger announced that a meeting of the congregation for social inter course would tike place on Thursday evening, the 6th pros, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of hymn books, now on their way from England. Tickets to be obtained from any of the Committee.

The s.s. Go-Ahead will leave for Wangarei and Mangapai at 7 o'clock this evening.

It will interest many of our readers to ob serve that by the Duytpring the Rev. J. Cosh, of the New Hebrides mission, has arrived in Auckland. Thi- g< ntleinan had been appointed to supply the pliice ol the R«v. Mr. Bruee, during his absence in Scotland, and will, we understand, succeed the Rev. Mr. Suter, com mencing to officiate on Sunday week. Mr. Cosh is accompanied by his wife, who is in delicate health, and by their two children.

Apparently a fit claimant for the care of Hie institution recently inaugurated sit Fort Britotnarb appeared in the Police Court to day A poor little fellow, bively ten years old, appeared to answer the charge of stealing a watch. Pale, and thin, and \vurn-lookin_', his little wasted features told of hard experiences in the world, and appealed ctrongly to the hand of sympathy and protection. The child was remanded to the Thames.

There "was a good house and a favourable reception awarded to " Romeo and Juliet," as presented at the Prince of Wales o;i Saturday night. To-night " Hamlet," with Miss Evans in the principal character, will be veproduced.

At the Theatre Royal on Saturday night there was not a very large attendance to witness the acrobatic Rnd gymnastic feats of Herr Efforte and company, owing, we hare no doubt, to want of publicity. The entertain ment, which is really good, will be continued to-night.

The intelligence which we published on Saturday, under the head of " Attempted In cendiarism," has been called in question as> to its accuracy, by our contemporary the He rald. We huve made inquiry, and found that our statements are altogether correct, and fur ther, that an attempt is being marie to hush the matter up. The explanation that the com bustibles were placed and lighted in the middle of the footpath bears its refutation in its face, and the so-culled unexplained " lark" is of such a character as to demand, in the interests and for the credit of the cominuniiy, a stringent investigation. The substunce ignited was pinced close against the wall, from which it was kicked out into the street by Mr. Feltus, who, when the constable and bystanders were afraid to approach it, taking it to be some kind of infernal machine, boldly sprang on it and stamped it out. Our contemporary has received his information from the police, but

the police have been misinformed, with the inte tion of stifling enquiry. We have had our information fiMtn first sources, and aa such, we give it to the public.

The Auckland Ethiopian Troupe gave a very successful entertainment, at the Devon port Hall, on Saturday night, and were hos pitably entertained by mine host of the Masonic. The Enterprise, kindly lent by Messrs. Holmes Bros., conveyed the "darkies" back to Auckland in safety. One only mishap occurring in a refre-hing, though involuntary, dip in the waters of the Waitemata experi enced by one of the company when comi- g on board at the North Shore.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN GEORGE COOKE.

We regret to learn that by the arrival of the Cleopatra, from Fiji, yesterday, intelligence has come of the sudden death of Captain George Cooke, of the schooner Sea Breeze. It appears that he was taken ill on one day, and died the day following, the cause of death being an apoplectic fit. Mr. Cooke was born at the Bay of Islands, and has left a wife and large family in Auckland to mourn their be reavement. The sorrowful news was con veyed to them this morning, and broken to them in the gentlest manner by one of the pns?ena;ers, having bpen kindly kept out of the morning papers for that purpose. Mr. Cooke was sensible to the end, and was able to give directions to the chief officer for bringing his vessel on to Aucklind. There is a general regret, and much sympathy with Mrs. Cooke, -who is only recovering from a severe illness.

SUPREME COURT.—Civil Sittings.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.

[Before His Honor Sir George Arney, Knfc., Chief Justice, and a Common Jury.] Hrs Hokob took his seat on the Bench at 10 o'clock. FRAZEB AND TIN>*E V. GItEENWAY. —ITBEL. This was an action of damages for def irna tion of character. The plaintiffs are well known iron founders and engineers, of Me chanics' Bay ; and the defendant is also very well known in commercial and business circles. Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Weston appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. MaeCorimck appeared for the defendant.

.Mr. Weston opened the pleadings. The <le."la ation set out the folio«ing a legations : —That on or about the B<h of July the de fendant .'aid, alludin2 to the plaintiffs and Ddiiiting to their place of business, " They are s;one; they have discharged their men, rela Live* and a!l; they have closed their pates u t I'alf-past. 12 o'clo'k." The is-ues submitted o I lie jury were three, viz., whether the de ferdant u>ed the words imputed to him each issue separately following the language de posed to. There was also a general .ssue, viz , What damages have the plaintiffs sus tiinei, &l\ ?

Mr. Whitaker opened the c:)«e to the jury

The following evidence was adduced : — G-eorge BYiiser, examined by Mr. v\ es'on, leposed that he is a mei.bi-r of the firm o' -riiser and Tinne, Engineer^, Mechanics' Bay. The business is an extensive one, about in"; hundred hands b-ing employed. Ther. are twenty seven apprentices. Tlie firm does i lai'ste bu?i ess with the Australian co'onie?, Maigl'ind, and S.-otlanrl. The wages paid ivrrage a'lout. £200 weekly. Mr Weston was about to a*k what he un • lerstwod by the words '' they are gone."

Mr. MacCorinick objected, on the ground that putting the question would substitute t c witness for the jury. The jury were the judge? ijf what the language m>-ant.

Cro^s examinxl by Mr. MucOormiek : Wr do not mean to say that we pty £200 a week uuw. We did about three month* a_'o. I cannot say whether we are not in n worse position now than on the Bth of July. It i* difficult to say what the effect of a bad report, may be. I am not aware thai the firm is worse off now than on the Bth of July. An agent of ours may have naked to borrow money from Mr. Green way. We never did. I had no cm versa ion with the defendant upon the subject of this action. I did not ask him for any explana tion. I went to Mr. Whitaker.

Samuel Cochranc examined by Mr. Whit aker : I am an auctioneer residing in Auck land. I know all the parties to this action. The plaintiffs nre engineers and ironfounders. I remember seeing the defendant on the Bth July. I met him in Lower Queen-street, op posite Hague .Smith's store. Mr. John Goodall whs with me. Mr. Greenway was alone. Greenway was smiling. Seeing that, I asked him what was wrong. (Laughter.) He said " My Lord is gone," at the same time point ing hia finger over the hill. I asked him, " Who is it—Smith ?" Greenway said, "No ; my Lord over the hill." I again asked him who ho meant. He sail, " Falser and Tinne; they close to-day at, 12 o'clock'. The men have been discharged, relatives and nil." 1 a-ked ii' it. wore possible—meaning that I regretted such inilu>frioiis men should be s'j unfurl unnte. I added thut it wus all the better for his engineers (MasefieldV) Green way replied, "It is all right. I have «ot the money, they (meaning Frazer and Tinne), have none." I understood, by the lan guage of defendant, that .b razor and Tinne were unable !"O moot their engagements, and. hud beeom ■ bankrupt.

Cross-examined by Mr. MacCormick : I liave never heard until now that Frazer and Tinne discharged any men. It was not that one of Mr. Frazer and Tinne's men was dis charged. There was no mistaking the lan guage was to the effect that the plaintiffs had failed.

Mr. MacCormick: Did he point over the hill with his umbrella ?

Witness : I think it was a cigar he had in his hand, or between his fingers. (A laugh.) I taid I was very sorry.

Mr. MacCormick : And I suppose yoti pro> ceeded to spread the news as quickly as pos sible?

Witness : Indeed I did not. I told Mr. Thomas Kussell and Mr. J. S. Macfarlane of it the same evening. They also were very sorry to hear of it. Mr. MacCormick : Did you not know that there were several rumours about several people at thut time, and was this not one of them ? Did you not know that this was one, mifl thiit it was quite harmless ?

Witness : Harmless in a " Pickwickian" sense. There could be no mistaking Mr. Grreenwaj's neaning. I understood him to say the plaintiffs ha I become bankrupt, that they had closed their gales, discharged their men, and they could not meet their engage ments;

John Goodall deposed to the same facts and conversation. He corroboiated the evidence of J Mr. Coohrane in every particular. James S-tewarfc, a publican residing in Princes-street, said the defendant was in the habit of calling at his house. About the time set out in the declaration, Mr. Greenway called at his house, and said he had heard " they were gone down in the Bay." Witness thought it might have been the brewery, and asked liim whether it was so. Defendant said, " No ; it was the foundry." Andrew Kirkwood, a" labouring man, said he met the defendants at Tom Johnson's (the Windsor Castle), at Parnell. Defendant sail tl.at Fraser and Tinne had " made a smash." I understood that the firm had failed. There was not much conversation after that.

This was the plaintiffs' case. Mr. MacCormick said the defendant's case was simply that he repealed what he had heard as common report. Christopher Greeuway, examined by Mr. MacCormick, said : I am not the owner of either of the foundries. I do not remember any particular conversation with Mr. Coch rane about the plaintiffs. We have spoken of the general business of the times. I have heard Mr. Cochrnne speak about Fraser and Tinne. Ido not recollect speaking about them. I never gave him to understand that Fraser and i inne had become bankrupt, except I mi^ht have mentioned a rnmour or generally street talk. The talk at that time originated with the difficulties occasioned by the Thames, and how bad he times weve. I had no con versation with Kirkwood referring to Fr&ier and Xinne. I may have said to Mr. Stewart " that one of Fraser and Tinne's men told me that several men had been discharged." The plaintiffs have never made any demand on me for an explanation. Nobody did so on their behalf. After I was served with the notice of this action I called on an 1 saw Mr. Fraser. I gave him an explanation, telling him that the rumour originated with one of his own men. Cross-examined by Mr. Whitaker : I may or may not hnve had conversation on the subject with Mr. Cochrane. I never men tioned the names of Erase.- and Tinne. I may iiave said "They're gone." I never mentioned the name : T swear I never mentiontd the names of Fraser and Tinn ■•. I never spoke of the " foundry down in Mechanic's Bay." I never referred to the foundry at all. I mean to swear the evidence of Cochrane aud Goodall is not true. Mr. Samuel Co< hraue is not a very particular man. I did not use the words imputed to me, nor anything like them, nor anything bearing the same import or meaning. I never alluded to the plaintiffs in any way.

Re-examined : I meant to refer to a man ii'iined Wiiii-h as rry authority in anything I may have ?aid to the witness Kirkwood.

The counsel for either sMe having addressed the jury, hi* Honor summed up. The jury retired to consider their verdict. The jury returned into Court, after half an hour's deliberation, with a verdict for the plaintiff on all the issues - damages, £50. His lonor certified for a special jury. i his concluded the civil business of the Circuit Court.

His Honor will sit in Chambers, in bnnro, >n Wednesday, aud in bankruptcy on Xhurs ■ lav.

The Court rose at half-past nne o'cloc'.:

CORRESPONDENCE.

We are not responsible for our Correspondents' opinions.

To the Editor of tho Evening Star.

Sik, —I d.) not want to review the decision of the Ui-nch on Saturday last, in the case of liegina v. Giilliths and Kills; but in the in terests of the public, 1 ask that you will allow ii.o io draw attention to a few points. In the decision of Court, I find reported in the Herald the following, i'rjin the magistrate presiding :—" It is eh-ar the defendant was aware of the character of the parly with whom he was connected, which'bus left his conduct open to suspicion." Will the police take any notice of this remark from the Bench? Were the defendants aware that Harris uas an ab scouder? Did they know that he had em bezzled money from Victoria? Was money received from him, knowing how he had obtained it, even though it had been honor ably won in the noble game of billiards ? Could Mr. Holmes, and waterman Strong, and some others give a little more information on the subject if properly pressed ? J^Or even supposing that they were wholly ignorant of the circumstances of the embezzlenic-iit, and of the "character of the person with whom they were connected," to whom does the money belong that was won in billiards from the embezzler, and. admitted to have been received by " the partners ?" Toll amis? or " the partners " ? or the Bulla Shire Council ? These are questions that are frequently put in the city since Saturday evening, they should, bo noted by the police, and they are deserving of ventilation by the Press, without fear or favor. Ido not pretend to question the justice of the decision of the magistrates on the matter brought before them, but on the subjects above stated, the public desires a little more

INQUEST ON EUGENE CASSETT.

[Abridged from the Advertise?- and Mail.'] Thk jury empannelled to hear the evidence at the inquest upon the remains of Eugene Cas sett, assembled at the Saracen's Hotel at two o'clock yesterday. Dr. Fox made a post mor tem examination of the body. The jury re turned the following verdict : — " That de ceased committed suicide while labouring ur.der depression of mind, consequent upon mercantile losses."

MEETING OF JURORS.

On Saturday morning a meeting of the jury was held respecting the verdict. Mr. .Perston, who was in the chair, said th^ reason why the jury had been convened was that last night several gentlemen of the jury called upon him stuting that the Coroner con sidered that the verdict they had returned amounted to felo de se, and gave his order to bury the deceased at night, according to the former barbarous law which still existed in England, and which was supposed to extend to New Zealand. He had gone with them to the Coroner, and represented the matter to him, and he consented to extend his warrant for burial of the deceased to forty-eight hours instead of twenty four. He thought if the jury would make a representation that they intended the verdict to show that they be lieved that deceased's mind was in such a state that he was not responsible for his action, the Coron r would alter the order for burial he had given, allowing deceased to be buried in the daytime in the usual way.— Mr. Tyler, solicitor, appeared, and on behalf of Mr. Harrison contradicted the statements made respecting Mr. Harrison and the other creditors at the meeting. First of all, there was no one hard upon him, and Mr. Harrison w s not wor3t of all. He might state that Mr. Vance, who was the chairman of the meeting, was present, and Mr. Harrison was also present. The creditors were not hard upon Mr. Cassett, because no conclusion was arrived at. The plain fact was this, that Mr. Cassett came up with a statement of his affairs, prepared by himself, in his own hand writing. Thab statement showed on its face a deliciency of about £1400. The consequeuce of that was, that the creditors sisked him to explain the statement. He couid not do so. He did not observe that such a deficiency was apparent till it was pointed out io him. He could not explain the deficiency. The creditors asked him to return to the Thames, ascertain how the matters stood, and come back to Auckland on the following Wednes day, and if that had been done, there was no doubt they would have accepted the assignment of the estate, which Mr. Cassett seemed to wish.'; Mr. Harrison scarcely said a single word to him. (Mr. Tyler pro ceeded to make further statements in vindica tion of Mr. Harrison.) —Ultimately two mem bers of the jury waited upon Dr. Kilgour, and stated on their return that he would not re open the inquest till he received word from the Attorney-General at Wellington. He would, however, make an order for the burial of deceased in the usual way, if the jury wished ir.. The jury then consulted privately, and agreed to the following resolution, to be for warded to the Coroner : — " We, the under signed, being the jury who sat in inquest on the body of Eugene Cassett, deceased, hereby inform the Coroner that the verdict returned by us yesterday is not intended to convey the imputation of "felo de se."— signed by all the jurors.—shortlund, September 24,1870.
