camp-kitchen, at Kihikihi, and the disagree ment spoken of by the witnesses, and even by the prisoner, as described by them, for he " said there was variance between them." Al though, outwardly, the marks of this dis agreement was slight, there were many circum stances to show that the impression upon the mind of Muirhead was very considerable. The jury would say whether the conduct of the prisoner was not consistent, all through, with a state of feeling which would gradually develop, until it would manifest itself in a sudden outburst of fury, and result in a catastrophe such as formed the subject of the present inquiry. It was his duty, on the part of the. prosecution, to* tell the jury that if a man excited his brain by drink, and if in that state he breoded over his enmity, and availed himself of the first opportunity to dtsstroy the object of his dislike, that was undoubtedly a murder, although the man's brain might have been inflamed with drink. But the defence was, that a disease had been contracted, which prevented the prisoner knowing what was right and wrong. The facts proved were in consistent with such a theory. The witnesses all throughout stated that the prisoner was calm, spoke rationally, and went about his business in the usual way. He had suffered from some delusions on the Sunday, bat these had disappeared on the Monday morning, for Sergeant Skene examined him with a special view to test their presence, so as to continue the watch over Muirhead, if necessary. Ho could not discover anything of the kind, and Muirhead himself said he was getting all right again. But even suppose there had been a relapse, let the jury look at the exclamations made by the prisoner after he committed the crime. One jwould expect to find some connexion-between the delusions which had exhibited themselves be fore firing the shot. He thought he had been pursued iby " devils." It was not to escape from "devils" that he shoe the unfortunate GKlfillan. Two accounts were given ef what he said. The words were, according to one witness, " a traitor can't live," and according to another, " the coward can't live." There was an absolute departure from the delusions which were relied upon as the symptoms of diseased mind. The ex clamation, " Don't you see the Maoris down thwe f" rather indicated that he was sensible efitrUgh to know that some explanation was required; and this expression furnished an explanation, and something like an excuse at the time. He would, however, with .his learned friend, ask the jury to consider the evidence calmly and dispassionately. No doubt ( the result of their deliberations were of immense importance to the prisoner. He had no desire otherwise than that they should come to a just and righteous verdict, and therefore he left the question, with confidence, in their hands.

At half-past one o'clock the Court adjourned for half an hour.

MADAME MOLLER'S CONCERT.

TO-JNTG-HT,

It is some time now since the people of Auckland have had a musical treat such as that which is to-night to be given at the City Hall. Madame Moller deserves well of the citizens, for she is ever ready to lend her professional talents in aid of every charitable and benevolent purpose. The concert to-night is intended as a com plimentary benefit by her musical friends and admirers, and will be assisted by, the best amateur talent in the city. Madame Moller is herself also to take an impor tant part in the programme, and we ob serve that for the'first time before a pub lic audience, "Polly Plum" is to step aside from the paths of literature, and favor the public with an idea of her musi cal ability. Taken altogether, ttte con cert is likely to be one of the most suc cessful held in Auckland, and considering how deserving Madame Moller is of pub lic favor, we hope that the entertainment will pass off with the utmost eclat.

John JJethebridge Dalhayhad, accountant in the Bank of New South Wales, deposed: The prisoner came to my residence on the 6th June. I saw that he was in reduced circumstances, from his conduct. He appeared to be an honest man, and a sincere Christian. I supplied ' him with board and lodging for a fortnight, when he told me that he had a situation offered if he coald obtain suitable clothes. I gave him an order on Mr. Rattray for clothing to the amount of £'/, and £1 in cash. I did not see him afterwards, but from information received I gave notice of his conduct to the police.—The Bench said that this case did not come within the limits of the Act, and dismissed it. This was all the business before the Court.
