SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE FRENCH WOUNDED.

In another column will be seen a notice calling attention to subscriptions being taken in aid of the sufferers in France. If ever there was a cause that pleaded with the tenderest emotions of the human heart it is this. '1 he misery that has been caused by the present war, considering its short continuance, is unparalleled. The number of bread-winners that hare been laid low, the desolation that has marked the advance of the invading armies, and the utter prostration of allin dustry over and around the theatre of war have added the horrors of hunger to the bereavements of the families of those„who have been lighting for national independ ence. The German wounded and bereaved are well cared for; their trials^will be alleviated; and success and national glory will go far to soothe their suffer ings. But to any miad in which sympathy with broken-hearted, despairing suffering can find a place, it should require no pleading from us to urge the cause of the wounded, the bereaved, and the starving in unhappy France.

SUPREME COURT. Criminal Sittings.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8

[Before His Honor Sir George Arney, Knight, Chief Juatice.]

His Honor took his seat on the bench at 10 o'clock.

Henry Davis, John Kearns alias Darcy, and James Dunn svero brought up for judg ment. The two first-named prisoners had been found guilty of a robbery at the Whau, the last-named was found guilty of a robbery at Shortland, and pleaded guilty to five other indictments charging him with similar of fences ; he was also found guilty of an assault upon a warder of the gaol. Henry Devoy had been found guilty of cattle stealing and an assault upon a warder of the gaol; for the former he was sentenced when found guilty, and for the latter offence he wa3 sentenced to sis months' imprisonment in addition. Davis was now sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for eighteen calendar months. Hi 3 Honor said that Kearns' case indicated a disposition to live by plunder, and sentenced him to four years penal servitude. Out of a period of three years and ten months, the prisoner had spent three years' and six months in gaol for various thefts. Dunn said nobody but himself had any knowledge of his crime, and said he would do his utmost to lead to the recovery of other stolen property, with which he was not charged. He had never been before a Court but once previous, and he prayed the clemency and mercy of the Court. — His Honor said it was clear that the prisoner had been carrying on a trade of robbery. It was thereforo due to the public that his case should be severely visited. His trial illus trated the manner in which the produce of robberies were concealed from the vigilance of the police. There were now no less than seven convictions recorded against him. He had given such information as would lead to the recovery of probably £200, and that would be taken into consideration by tho Court. His Honor sentenced the prisoner to six years' penal servitude.

Burglary.— Thomas Curtis was avrainged upon an indictment charging him with having committed a burglary at the house of Frank Robinson, New North Road, and steuling therefrom a gold necklet value £1, and a gold ring value 15s. The prisoner, when called upon to plead to the indictment, appeared a singular picture of stolidity. He could not be induced to answer to his namo, or to the challenge. He pleaded guilty after some time, but only through a warder in atten dance. A previous conviction was charged against him, to which ho at onco pleaded guilty, dispelling any allusion that he might have been insane. He was, however, though a powerfully built young man, a pitiable object, notwithstanding his features were not with out some expression of general intelligence.— There was a second indictment against the prisoner, charging him with a burglary in the house of Alexander Macdonald, in tho same neighbourhood, and stealing a gold brooch and other articles. The prisoner pleaded guilty to this charge also.—His Honor said there was a manner about the prisoner which did not suggest the insanity of the prisoner, but rather of obtuseness.—Mr. Brookfield said this manner became apparent only within the last three weeks. The warder who had charge of him, and Dr. Philson, were in attendance, —Lucas Martin said there was apparent want of intelligence about him when sent to the gaol—" Not in the least." Latterly he had become " sulky and dogged," but he did not observe any weakness of intellect.— Thomas Moore Philaon, M.D., said he had visited the prisoner in gaol. Always observed that the prisoner was sullen and obstinate. He appeared to have ordinary intelligence until the last few weeks. He became at this period very violent, behaving in a very ridiculous way, emptying his vessel of food over his head. The impression left on my mind is that he has been "acting a part."— His Honor sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

Attempt to Commit Suicide.— John Coolc was arraigned upon an indictment charging him that he, on the 28th of January last, did unlawfully attempt, and endeavour feloniously, wilfully, and with malice aforethought, to kill and murder himself.—Mr. Brookfield said this was the first case of the kind that came before the Courts in the colony, certainly before that Court. The mode of committing the offence was by shooting from a revolver. Some neighbours heard the shot; ran into the garden, found the prisoner insensible, and a recently discharged revolver at his feet. The question for the jury would be, whether the prisoner was, or not, in a sound state of mind ; for there could bo no doubt the offence with which he stood charged was a misdemeanour in law. The defence would no doubt be that the prisoner had been drinking for several days, but the witnesses

would say that they thought him sober at the time. —Charles Atkinson Read, a constable iv the Armed Constabulary, stationed at Opotiki, went to take the prisoner upon suspicion of theft. He was then sober in his whare. His wife told him to get up and go over to the redoubt, as the constable was waiting for him. Prisoner came out with a pair of boots in his hand, and turned sharp round the corner of the house. Witness immediately heard the report of a revolver. Went after the pri soner and found him insensible with the pistol lying between his knees. His knees were doubled up. The pistol was held between Ills knees, the muzzle pointing towards his head. It is a five-chamber revolver. (Pro duced )

POLICE COURT.— Wednesday

[Before J. S. Maofarlane and H. Isaacs, Esq s., and Major Heaphy, Justices.] Drunkenness.—H. R- Mills and Mary Ann Kenny weae each fined 5s and costs. Assault. —S. Berryman and J. Penhale were charged with having assaulted Mary Nolan on March 7th, and same prisoners were charged with an assault on Joseph Stark. The cases having been proved, the defendants were sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. Wit- Desertion. —Jesse En.sor Cole was charged by E. Cole, his wife,, with having deserted her and his child since January. On the application of Mr. Wynn for Mr. Joy, the case was adjourned till next day, Assault.—Andew Macready was chai'ged by Alexander Lyons with having struck him on the head with a stick on February 23rd. There was a cross action, and both were ad journed till next day. Alleged Peejury.—The adjourned case in which H. L. Kennedy stood charged by W. M. Hay with perjury was resumed, ivfr. Wynn withdrew from the case, in order to be in a position to give evidence in the case if called on. Mr. Rees for the prosecution, Mr. MacCormick for the defence. -Thomas Ritchie, recalled, deposed : I was asked when the final settlement took place between myself and Mr. Kennedy, in the matter of the legacy. I stated that the settlement took place on the 9th June. That was the day on which the matter was completed. Cannot say on what date the purchase of the legacy took placa. The bulk of the money. £450, I sent to Mr. Hay on May 4. I believe it was paid on the 7th. On June 9th the bills were signed, and the £50 cheque was given. I am not aware whether Mr. Recs knew that the £450 had been paid before June 9th. —By Mr. Rees : It was on the 9th June that the message was sent by Mr. Kennedy to Mr. Hay to be present at the final settlement. Mr. Kennedy never settled with me until the 9th June. Up up to the time of the £450 being paid, I had not declared myself as the principal.—Mr. Hay re-called by Mr. Rees. There was never any settlement. To Mr. MeOormack, Mr. Kennedy wa3 to pay Smith's £203 out of the £750 when he received it from me. The £450 cheque paid to Kennedy was in part payment of the legacy. It might have been out of his sum of £450 that the £200 was to have been paid. I cannot remember if I prepared the deed of assignment Kennedy to Eitcbie.—Mr. Wynn deposed to having heard the examination in the Supreme Court in the insolvency case of Smith. Heard Kennedy's evidence regarding the payment of £180 to Smith. He was asked by myself whether at the time of the final settlement of the matter in Rees and Tyler's office he had any knowledge of any transactions between Hay and the Smiths, in relation to Hassell's legacy. He replied he had no knowledge of that or any other transaction between Hay and the Smiths. I repeated the question several times, and he stated most positively that he had not. He fixed the 9th of May as the date of the final settlement, in Rees and Tyler's office, and stated that had he known of such previous settlement at that time, he would have held the money and kept it for Hay.—John Smith, sworn, examined by Mr. Rees, deposed that he was recently a livery stable-keeper, and has just passed through the Bankruptcy Court. Know plaintiffs and defendant. Remember in April last having a conversation with Kennedy. Received two sums of money from Mr. Hay, and another in connection with Hassell's legacy. The sum I received was £180. Had seen the defendant the same day. Him and I only were present. I w>nt to Mr. Hay's office, who offered me £177 10s. for the £2DO Kennedy owed me. My object in going to Hay was the fact that Hay owed Kennedy £700 in connection with Hassell's legacy. I refused the £170 until I had seen Kennedy, who sent me to Hay's office to enquire if the £700 had beeu paid. On returning, I named the offer Hay had made. Kennedy then desired me to get a cheque for £180 if I could, which Hay paid me, and I cashed it at the Bank of New Zea land. Desired Kennedy to place with the £50 previously paid into the Bank on account of the legacy, which defendant did. Have seen Kennedy since these proceedings were commenced, and he had conversations with him on several occasions in referonce to the case.—Cross-examined : Kennedy offered me £100 if I would go into the Court, and so evade the payment of Air. Hay's claim; Rees and Tyler were my solicitors, and were also acting for Kennedy. The defendant introduced me to Rees and Co., who prepared the bill of Hassell's, which was afterwards sold to Hay, which formerly belonged to myself, Hosier, Muir, and Griffiths. I visited Mr. Kennedy on his return from the Fijis. I may have asked him (Kennedy) to attend the Bankruptcy Court and give evidence. De fendant told me he had given Rees and Tyler each a written statement of what his evidence would be. Previous to my bankruptcy, my brother and I kept an account in the name of Smith Brothers, at tho Union Bank. Loft Auckland for Sydney on tho 10th of May, when I took a draft for £150 (cheque pro duced), but can scarcely remember from the time that has elapsed tho firm whence the draft was obtained which I took to Sydney. My brother drew and signed all cheques. I never remember having done so.—Mr. Mac- Cormick here handed witness a cheque, which he admitted was drawn, and bore his own signature. Believe tho cheque now produced for £227, was paid for monies due to myself and brother on account of the legacy. Ken nedy did not owe me £200 when I went into the Bankruptcy Court. I bustled off to Syd ney with the £150. Was examined in the Bankruptcy Court. When Hay paid mo the £180 he desired menot to mention it to Ken nedy ; that- he (Hay) had done so don't remember swearing. I saw Hay on my return from Sydney, and saying that the £180 was paid to Kennedy.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN AS SOCIATION.

The annual meeting of members of the abovo Institution, was held at the Rooms, Wellesley street, on Monday evening last. Owing to the inclemency of the weather there was but a limited attendance. As part of the business consisted of the appointment of a new committee, and the election of officers, &c, it was deemed desirable that the meeting should be adjourned until Tuesday evening next, in order that the new executive might fairly represent the wishes and views of the general body of members. Some mis apprehension seems to exist out of doors as to the financial stability of the institution; it may be well, therefore, to state for public in formation, that at no period since the erection of the Rooms in Wellesley-street, has the institution been in a better position financially, than it is at present. This is not matter of opinion, but of fact. Since October, 1867, the debt has been reduced by £1,200; and the income of 1870, a year of great depression (and therefore may be safely taken as a minimum) not only balanced normal expendi ture, but enabled the committee to pay off outstanding liabilities to the amount of £69. During the current year it is confidently anticipated chat the income of the Society will be materially increased from various sources under its control. The Library Com mittee have recently purchased some forty vols.; standard works, whilo some fifty or sixty vols., ordered from England some months back, may be shortly expected to arrive, and for which funds are available from the late entertainments in the institu tion. Some twenty vols, have been preaented during the year to the library, and promises representing a similar number, are in process of fulfilment.

It will thus be seen that, assured of that public support to which the Society may fairly lay claim, its future prospects are of a satis factory character. The committee of the institution, during the past year, have sedulously attended to its interests, and con tributed not only their time, but their labour and means to further its success. We trust that at the meeting on Tuesday next, there will be a good attendance of members, when the annual report and accounts will be laid before them. The Young Men's Christian Association has done a good work during the past, and it needs but unity and cooperation among the various Protestant churches, in order to enable it to accomplish a much larger measure of usefulness in the future.

THE VOLUNTEER BALL,

To the Editor of the Etening Star

Sib, —Seeing in an issue of the Herald tho advertisemen with regard to the Volun teer Ball that the prices of admission were to be one guinea for gentlemen. I beg to give it as my opinion that this will render it too exclusive, and make it impossible for those to attend for whom the ball is reall intended, as many of tho Volunteers South and North have not enough guineas to to be able to spare it on that. I would suggest that the double ticket should .be fifteen shillings or £L Is v» hich would be quite sufficient to make it select. Apologising for intruding on your valuable space.—l am &c, A VOLTJNTKEB. [This is a matter of simple calculation.
