The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1871.

It was in the " good old times" that the debtor, with his wife and children, could be sold into slavery. In those happy days men could have the full gratification of the sweet passion of revenge, and with the debtor's wife as cook, his daughter as housemaid, and the debtor himself as " wood and water «Toey," could have the oppor tunity of exercising that authority which the same wise laws permitted to a master over his slaves. Human nature since then has put on a more respectable exterior, but it is a mistake to suppose that the spirit of has departed from earth, or that the pound of flesh would not often still be demanded, if the law allowed. We have been led into this train of thought by the following sentences in one of this morning's papers, which have reference to the proceedings at a meeting of creditors held yesterday:— " A motion was made by the Bank of New South Wales, which received no seconder, ' That they take from Mr. Smith all that the law allows.' A cre ditor present stated that this was the second time the bank had so acted." It is a melancholy thing that the law does not allow every thing that could, to be taken from a man unfortunate in business. If the clothing could be taken off his back, and he could be sent forth naked in this pitiless weather, or better still, if he could be flayed alive, and his skin made to bind bank pass-books, it would doubt less be balm to the soul of those who had helped him smilingly on the road to ruin, and then turn on him to wreak vengeance for their own mis calculations. The law does not " allow " this ; more's the pity ; and in deference to an absurd senti ment of mercy, provides that angry men, most angry because they have themselves to blame, are held back from wringing off the pound of flesh. The law of New Zealand does indeed treat poverty as a crime, and the man who has lost all in the race for com petence is imprisoned within stone walls," not for anything dishonest in his dealings, but because he does not obey an order of the Court which he cannot obey without stealing or robbing of the goods of others. But this which an enlightened " law allows," is sorry consolation for the glorious times when the debtor's body became the possession of his creditor. The people of America are even more ab surd in the sentiment of mercy; for, thinking that a family needa a home as well as raiment, and believing that the creditor and the debtor were mutually concerned in the profits and losses of the business, they provide that the roof-tree shall be intact, and that the debt, to the creation of which the creditor contributed by his actions as fully as the debtor, shall not deprive the wife and children of their home. Of course this shows the Americans to be • void of business ideas, and sagacity in the things of life; but as this is the general character of our Yankee cousins, we merely mention the cir cumstance as an illustration of the manner in which the human race is degenerating from the good old times. We are glad to see that the Bank of New South Wales has made a stand, and we are confident that this bold unfurling of the standard of pure justice in a weak-minded and degene rate age, will commend that institu tion to the kindly feelings of the business community, and the whole people.

maps of the Thames goldfield which her late husband had prepared, afc great trouble and expense. Photography has given the power of reproducing any such work, .but the man who would so prostitute his skill to rob a widow of her means of subsistence, should be pilloried before the eyes of the public. It should be known, however, that Mrs. Pul man's maps bears her husband's name, and are for sale at her place in Shortland-street, and the pirated maps have a black margin, obliterating the name. If the sale of the forgery continues we shall find out and pub lish the name of the man who has committed such a dastardly act, and of the store or shop that becomes accessory to the crime, in vend ing his works.

Really one looking at the streets, would not think that we had a bran new Municipal Council, still blushing with their maiden honors. It is said a " new broom sweeps clean," but it has not yet been applied to Queen-street. The pools of water and oceans of mud are things to be looked at, but not to ba admired, and we fear the mantle of the City Board has descended on their successors. It may be that the magnitude of their institution may have made the councillors oblivious to the smaller matters, but which, nevertheless, are those which most obtrude themselves on at tention. With the large staff of officials, pre sent or prospective, surely one might be de tailed off to sweep the streets, or, at least, the crossings.

SUPREME COURT.—CRIMINAL SESSION..

FRIDAY, JUNE 9th.

(Before His Honor Sir George Arney, Knight,

Chief Justice.) The following additional evidence in qhe case relating to the breach of the Arms Act was given after we went to press yesterday : — Beeacii ov Arms Act.—A native witness named Arewera was examined, and corrobo rated the testimony of he last witness. He de scribed the manner in which the ammunition " was fetched from a room behind," and was cross-examined at considerable length upon apparent discrepancies between his evi dence just given and that given by him before the magistrate at Tauranga. — Another native named Nikora gave similar evidence. — Richard Doolan, a constable connected with the Detective Department of the Constabulary, deposed to having received information that certain warlike stores htd been sold to the Hauhau natives ; that he was informed powder, shot, &c, had been sold by the prisoner. He searched prisoner's house on two occasions—the last time being the 13th of May. He found there 152 rounds of Government; cartridges, 12 packages of Government caps, each con taining 15 rounds of revolver ammunition ; 2 flasks nearly full of powder, 1 cannister of powder, 2 shot pouches, 1 small bag of slugs, 1 large match box containing Government re volver caps, 4 boxes nearly full of sporting caps, 1 small chamois bag nearly full of caps, 1 tin containing powder, seve ral small packages of powder, shot and pouch of caps, contealed in a cask of corn, 2 double-barrel fowling-pieces, 1 horse pistol, 1 revolver and fittings, with case complete, 1 gun-stock, a quantity of round bullets, 54 Government rifle bullets, and 48 rounds of Government ammunition. The last was depo sited between the rafters and the wall-plate and the roof. A great number of articles were found in a box in the priso ner's bed-room, under some clothing. The ammunition alleged by the natives to have been bought from the prisoner was similar to that produced. The prisoner was a member of the Militia, but in that capacity he would only be allowed sixty rounds of am munition. The 152 Government cartridges found included the 48 rounds concealed in the rafters. The witness also spoke to a gun (out of repair) which he found in the loft. He was cross-examined at considerable length as to the state of the house, which was described as " unfinished," several of the packages being found in the unfurnished part of the building. A plan of the premises was produced, upon which the witness was examined. He adhered to all the statements made in his examination in chief.

The Court rose at seven o'olock. The trial of Muirhead, for wilful murder, ia fixed for Monday morning, at ten o'olock, when jurymen should be punctual in attendance.

THIS DAT.

Beeaoh op Abms Act.— Charles Harley was brought up upon an indictment charging him with this offence. The case had been part heard yesterday, and the facts were published

in our yesterday'^ issue.—Constable Swarm, of Tauranga, this morning corroborated the evi dence given by Detective Doolan the previous day. — This conoluded the case for the prosecution. — Mr. MacCormick stated to the jury ' the case for ■ the defendant. He said he would be in a position to show that one of the witnesses • was a notorious Hauhau, who was going backwards1 and for wards to this district. He would show_ that the Queen's natives had no ammunition served out to them; that a reward had been offered. Judging from the quantity of am munition found, it was not so large, a quantity as a dealer iv such material would be likely to possess, and might be something larger than the regulations would allow him to possess,. and this circumstance would account forjits concealment. He would not detain the jury, but proceed to call the evidence which he thought would convince them that the charge was not proved against the prisoner. The first witness called waß a native named Wycliife. He said that Tupaea, the first native who gave evidence, was a Hauhau, a king's messenger who used to visit the district. The wit ness' gave a different date to the visit of Tupara from that of the witness for the prosecution. This witness was positive that it was "after Christmas" the "King's mes senger " "arrived at Katikati. In cross examination the witness said that Hori Tupeia was the chief of the Ngatirangi, who was intimate with the prisoner. He could not say who sent him to Auckland. Never bought of Harley anything but clothing. Was allowed eight shillings a day by Harley's wife. Was not to have more if Harley should be acquitted.—Christina Thompson, a native woman, at present residing at Ohinemuri, said she resided at Katikati be fore last Christmas. Left there on the 24th of December. Knew Harley. Knew Tv- Tuyara, the King's messenger. Did not know him to have been at Katikati in 'December. Would have heard it if he had been there. Akatatua Tupeia knew Tupara; Did not re member Tupaea coming to Tauranga. Tu para came with the Ngatirangi after Christmas Did not hear of his having been at Katikati' Heard of his being there some time in March. The native witness could speak very imper fectly as to date, but the general result of it was that if the King's messenger had been in the district at the time of the offence charged against the prisoner being committed, they would have heard of it. But the witness Wycliffe said that this would only be the case if Tupara came into his particular district. Mr. MacCormick addressed the jury, putting the case for the defence upon the improba bility that a settler in a disturbed unsettled dis trict would sell arms to King natives which arms mi^ht the same night be turned against himself and family, and the prisoner had a large family. Moreover, there were none of the ordinary motives in this case. It was necessary that the native testimony should be corroborated. There were three native witnesses who spoke to a variety of details, but so far from confirming each other, there were important discrepancies not only between their evidence in that Court, but also between their evidence taken upon that trial and their evidence before the Magistrate. It was said to be before Christmas. The King's messen ger said he came. to take the Ngatirangi to the conference at' Tokangamutu in Novem ber. Came back before Christmas. It was said by another that it was early in the year he came and went. One Maori- (Tupara), said the sale of the powder, &c, was in a room behind the bar. The same man said before the Magistrate that the articles were brought from a room " behind," or " behind the room." Tupara, the King's messenger, was spoken off by all the witnesses as an important man in the King's party. His presence in such a district must be known ft to nearly every native. But none of the witnesses appeared to have heard any thing about him. Then some said the powder was purchased before the Ngatirangi went to the conference, others when they came back. The witness Christina Thompson said the pow der could not have been sold before Christ mas, as she left on the 24th, and Tupara had not been to Katikati up to that date. Tupaea said it must have been some where about March. Thus, amidst a mass of details deposed to, there was not any corrobo ration. Ho ridiculed the idea of a dealer in arms concealing two or three small packets of gunpowder, two fowling-pieces (one of them useless) an old horse-pistol, these being found in one portion of the house, which was unfinished. It was known at the time that house was being built every man hud to be armed. The prosecutor said they thought of prosecuting him for the capital offence. The jury should recollect that the punishment for this offence was now fourteen years' penal servitude, and they should have scarcely less care how they gave a verdict that would expose a hitherto respectable man to such a terrible punishment.

DO GHOSTS WEAR BOOTS.

At the Glamorgan Astizes, at Swansea, before Mr. Justice Mellor, James Shea, 36, plumber, who conducted his case with considerable intelligence, was charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of "Richard Matthias, at Merthyr, on the 15th of February, and stealing therefrom two jackets and a rest, his property.

Mr. B. T. Williams appeared for the prosecution, the prisoner being unde fended.

Richard Matthias, the prosecutor, said he was a fishmonger, residing at Merthyr Tydvil; about 10 o'clock on the night of the 15.th of February he went to bed, accompanied by a. boy who is in his employ ; he fell asleep, and .was awoke by a hand or something being laid on his breast; he said, " What's that ?" A voice answered, " I have been sent on a mission to you ;" he asked the voice what that mission was, when the voice replied, " My mission is to tell you to be kind to the boy;" he assured the voice that he was kind to the boy, and informed it that when he had a bit of victuals the boy had a share of it, and if he hadn't it they both went without; the voice then said, "I am going now, but I shall come again ;" he asked the voice who he was, when the voice replied, " My name is unknown." His Lordship—" Did he say his name was unknown or the (Tnknown ? Witness : "He said his name was unknown, my lord."

i» His lordship (looking over the deposi tions) : " Was anything said about a vision P" Witness : " jNo, my lord, there was not; but when the party, whoever he was, walked away, he made a noise with his boots on the stairs; so I says to myself, says I, you may be a vision, or you may be unknown, but I never heard tell of a vision or an unknown wearing boots." His Lordship : " Oh, that's it. Well P" Witness: " Wei], my lord, I jumped out of my bed in my nightdress, and fol lowed the unknown ; didn't even stop to put on my boots; I followed him out into the street up to the bridge; it was a tallish man, and he had something under his arm; -I asked him what he had got under his arm, when he turned round and gave me a smack over my mouth and loosened two of my teeth; my mouth filled with blood; the vision then began to call out ' Police' as loud as he could, and ran away as fast as he coull; it was not far from the gas light, and I could distinguish the man's face very well; it was the prisoner; I then went back home ; when 1 first went to bed I locked the door; when I came down after the vision the door was {open; it must have been opened with a second key." Prisoner (in cross-examination): " What part of Merthyr do you live in P" Wit ness (deliberately): I live in a place called China, and I've lived there for thirty-five years.", -~;,■; , ,

Prisoner:" Are you known by any other name than Kichard Matthias?" Witness : " They call me what they please, and you may do the same." Prisoner: " Are you called by any other name than Eichard Matthias?" Witness (looking significantly at the prisoner): " Many men have more than one name, I can tell you." Prisoner: "Do they call you by any other name than Richard Matthias ?" Witness : " They may call me what they like.".

His Lordship: " They may call you what they like, but prisoner wants to. know whether, they call you by any other name." Witness: " Well, my lord, it's just in this way. I have a nickname, but my own. mother gave it to me." Prisoner: " Were you drunk whenyou went to bedP" Witness : "I was' never drunk in my life • I drank a glass of n\\ it is true, and that is all—me and liie boy." His Lordship : "Are you quite sure all this was not a dream-^-A fancy P" Wit ness : "Fancy, my lord ? no, not a bit of it."

Prisoner: " Didn't you consider it was a spirit r" Witness (contemptuously): " Cons:der it was a spirit ? Why, I didn't see you, man. How could I consider it a spirit when I never saw anything ?'' Prisoner: " Didn't you thiuk that you were conversing with a spirit P" Witness: " Well, \iyou are a spirit I was convers ing with one." Prisoner: " Didn't you think It was a ghost P" Witness : " Ididn'tknow whether it was a ghost or not, and didn't care."

Prisoner : " Weren't you frightened P" Witness: " Frightened'! I should think not."

Prisoner: " And you didn't think it was a ghost P" Witness : " How could I think it was a ghost, when I put my hand against you and felt you were flesh, and blood P Ghost, indeed I

Prisoner: " And you say you didn't think it was a spirit or a ghost, because you heard it walk down stairs P" Witness: "Of course—l never heard of either a spirit or a ghost that wore boots. Did you?" ■ ■ . . Prisoner: "Did you ever see a ghost barefooted?" Witness :."I never saw a ghost at all, but I don't think any of them wear boots." .

Prisoner then addressed the jury at con siderable length, a^id with much intelli gence, arguing that prosecutor must have had a dream and dreamt it all.

The jury acquitted the prisoner, aud lie was discharged from custody. The case created considerable amuse ment, the Court being at times convulsed with laughter, in which his lordship appeared irresistibly compelled to join.

Nathan's Warehouse, , Shortland-street, is gazetted aj no longer a bonded warehouse., and a brick building and cellar in High-street, 0» allotment 2;feection 4, is made a bonded warehouse, as ia Messrs. Arohard and Brown's new kerosene store.
