SUPREME COURT.—Criminal Sittings.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. rßpfore Hia llonov Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, t- Be Chief Justice.] His Eonob took Lia seat cm the Bench at 10 °'B°belch 03? the Amis Acv.-Charles BarUy, »ttler and hotol-keepcr at Kalikati; James thOruih, settler, .Alexandra ; James Burrell, i.horer at Shortland, convicted at the last criminal sittings <>f Circuit of this offence, " erß brought ifp for judgment.-lhe 5 gistrav read tbfe certificate of his Honor the Chief Juf# e' t0 tbe effecl\ tha! the appeals in these cases had been heard before the Court1 of Appeal, sitting at Wel lineton and tho conviction in each case con tinued.'—His Honor, in passing sentence, said he had tlloUgllt of tho cnse of . eacl) prisoner with a view to distinguish the differ onco in the degree of crimim.lty attaching to tbem respectively. The sentence could not be less than three years' penal servitude. The Court -would appear to be passing a very E erere sentence, but the offence was one against the statute, and the Court mußt guide its own discretion by the expressed intentions of the Legislature. The Legislature of the colony had found it necessary, looking to the satety of the community, to pass a highly penal statute to deal with such offences as those of which the prisoners have been found guilty. The cuse of Charles Harley was by far he worst; that of Burrell was aggravated by the fact that he availed himself of the families afforded by his residence in a somewhat scattered district and community to carry on this trade. McGrath bad been well spoken of as a settler, and he was engaged m peaceful avocations, cultivating his own land, lhe Court would have to inflict a different amount of punishment in each case.—His Honor then sentenced Harley to five years penal servitude, Burrell to four years penal servitude, and MoGrath to three years penal servitude. The prisoners were then removed Harley loudly protesting his innocftnee. Forging Teansfer of Shabes. — George David Smalle convicted yesterday of two charges of forgery and forged uttering, was arraigned upon a third indictment chargiug him with forging the name of Mr. Thomas Baton, of Epsom, to a transfer of four .Alburnia shares. The facts of the case wero stated by the Crown prosecutor as fol lows : A gentleman named Westmoreland went to the prisoner, and asked whether the pri soner could procure for him some shares in the Alburnia Company. The prisoner said Mr. Paton, of Epsom, has some Alburnius, and they went together to his house to pur chase some. But Mr. Paton would not sell his shares at the price offered. They wem to another person, and bought three shares at £15 each. The person referred to, however, wanted several more shares, and the prisoner represented that he had considerable personal influence with Mr. Paton, and ho would get him to sell. Some time afterwards the pri soner presented him what purported to be a transfer of six shax-es in the Alburnia "Com pany, signed "Thomas Paton," and wit nessed by Mr. J. C. Firth, (Thornton Firth, Smith and Co.) It was relied upon that tho signature was a forgery, of which a proof was tho fact that Mr. Paton was the owner of only five shares.—William Garland identified tho " blank transfer" form, and was cross-examined at great length to show that such a document could not transfer pro perty of any kind, and no value being traus ferred no fraud was committed or intended.— Joseph Westmoreland, a commission agent, detailed in evidence the facts stated by the prosecution, and aaid he had received from the prifpner, on account of the loss occasioned by the transaction, a sum of £15.

Tbansper or Siiabes.—Pbesentment.— The Grand Jury threw out the bill against QuinliYen, charged with " forcible" entry, and found true bills in all the other cases.— Mr. BrooUfield, the Crown Prosecutor, applied for special juries to try the cases ot Leonard, for arson, and Frredamn, charged with per jury.—The Grand Jury then made the follow ing presentment : —" The Grand Jury deaire to present to your Honor that the loose man ner in T»hiuh dealing in shares is conducted, offers great temptation to dishonest trans actions ; and further, that the unguarde.! manner in which attesting witnesses attach their signatures, without having seen the principal affix his signature to a transfer, calls for some legislative provision in refer ence thereto."—Hi» Honor said the same thought had struck him when reading the depositions. He would forward the present ment to his Excellency the Governor, -who would, no doubt, lay it before the Govern ment.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT HOWICK.

A man Darned William Janaieson was, yeß terday, brought in from Howick and lodger at tile Auckland lock-up, on a charge of having attempted to commit suicide by cut ting his throat. So far as we have been abh to learn, the circumstances connected with the at tempted suicide are as follows:—Jamieson is a married man, with a large family, and has been for some time past residing with them at the Thames. It would seem that lie was formerly connected with some claim at Tapu Creek, in which he sunk a good deal of money. This preyed upon his mind, and be lias lately been very despondent. A few lays ago he left his family at the Thames ia'vine° business to transact at Howick While at this place he put up at CrewV .iotel. Yesterday morning, on young Mr Orew going up to call him he found bin lying on the bed bleeding profusely from the -ide of the neck, and a knife with which tin leed had been committed lying at the bedside Vlr. Crew at once ran for medical assistance md Dr. Fitzgerald was soon in attendance On making au examination he found that th< wound wns near to the jugular vein, but that it was not sufficiently severe to cause death. Fie at oiiL'e sewed it up, and later in tho daj the unfortunate man was brought to Auck land as mentioned above. He seemed to by perfectly calm and collected when brought to .own, and gave no reason for the committal >f the rash act. It is said that Jamieson had previously attempted self-destruction.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

To the Editor of the Evening- Stab.

Sir, —In last evening's issue of your papvr I note a paragraph, quoting as follows : — " The Government system is decidedly the most satisfactory in every way of all the systems presented in tho colony." To this I take exception, and would be glad to learn in what respect. Had it appeared in an ad vertisement I would not have noticed it other wise than by treating it as a puff. However, when you make an assertion that I know to be contrary to fact, I may be permitted to state that there are other institutions estab lished here, amongst which the Norwich Union, to wit, offering equal advantages, if not greater. —I am, &c, G-EO.

The Auctioneers would also draw attention to the fact, that when ths j JBeach Road to Varnell is completed, these allotments i will front the main line oJ traffic to the country dis tricts. The main station for the contemplated Waikato Railway will also be in close proximity, and must considerably enhance the value of land in this neighbourhood, and the length of term for which the Leases arc offered, will justify the Lessees in erecting | substantial buildings with the certainity of realising j substantial returns I WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.
