The Evening Star. SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1871.

Henry Lamb Kenned _, the Phillis tines be upon thee! Heaven help the man that falls into the hands of the lawyers. Mr. Kennedy is in such a Q^e*^f*^S?^df%^Sjyjgsil;ate to say tliatTrj^^^:-;'tt*iJ?_^_^athy. It was generai^i^ijrf^^tood among the pub lic that the charge of perjury against him was a trumped-up one, but, per haps, no notice would have been taken of it had the case been allowed to rest in the grave where the magistrates' had laid it. In the recent trial—as was well said by the learned counsel for the defence —every possible lati tude was afforded to the prosecution. But really this is persecution, and deserves the reprobation of all good men. We are quite aware that it is regarded as dangerous to interfere with lawyers, that they are a pecus irritabile, and have "special facilities for resenting criticism. But we caro not. This persistent dragging of a case into the Police Court after it has been once decided may be quite in accordance with" legal forms, but it is calculated to pro duce a feeling of inscurity among citizens. * Messrs. O'Neill, Ritchie, and Taylor may be induced to do what Messrs. Macfarlane, Heaphv, and Isaacs refused to do ; and if they will not, another and another and another batch of magistrates may be tried; and we do not doubt that there are on the commission those whose minds are so weak and bi;ain so muddy that they will yield eventually to the power of legal bounce. But, in the name of public safety, we protest

against such nt fempts, nud especially wJicn accompanied by such base in sinuations ;is were to-day openly made regarding Iho purity of the Bench. One of the most respected of our magistrates—a man of sterling integ rity —was openly charged with parti ality on the Bench ; and the insinuation was doubtless meant to influence the minds of Messrs. O'Neill, Eitchie, and Taylor, and to show them the rod that was raised over their heads. IvXcssrs. Eees and Tyler know their own busi ness best, and doubtless have seen it to be to their advantage to carry out Mr. Hay's behests. But deservedly respected and esteemed as. they are in the city as sound law yers, and good men, they would do better if they let Mr. Hay do his busi ness himself*. "We presume it is simply esprit de corps that has induced the general interest which is said to be entertained among the legal brother hood iv the progress of the case; but we do not doubt that if any thing like undue interest is felt in this matter by the bar, the feeling of the laity will combine. And although lawyers ru^y be all-powerful in legal lore, and court usages, magistrates and jurors are of the peo ple. ~We have too much respect for the bench to suppose that any news paper criticism would influence them any more than the dishonorable insin uations in open court respecting one of the magistrates engaged on the for mer trial of the case. Mr. Taylor is understood to be a personal,*friend of the prosecutor, and we might basely insinuate that ho took his ;seat on the bench to-day to influence* the-; decision, and produce a conviction. But'ihis is not the character of Mr. Taylor. As for Messrs. O'Neill and Eitchie, we believe they arc generally regarded as the ablest magistrates on our local bench, and either one of them will at a glance have seen through the nature and objects of the case.. It is to be regretted that this prosecution has been -so persisted in. AYe have had too many instance-"- of private per sons endeavouring to prostitute the judgmentr'scat »to _ari*y out vindictive purposes. The bar should set a good example!**

Ho thought that three members of the committee a! the Alliance should be detailed to canvass each ward in the interest of teetotalism. The financial condition of the Association was sa tisfactory, being out of debt, with the excep tion of seven shillings and sixpence for ■ hand bills, calling the pretent meeting. Mr. Lamb, of Riverhead, followed, and maide a celling speech. A number of speakers followed, after which several members were added to the committee, which now includes the following names: E.

DUDLEY V. OALDER. To the Editor of tho Evening Stab

Sir, —In your report of the above caso in yesterday's issue, the impression would be conveyed to tho public that it was a personal accouut incurred for my own hotel expenses that I was sued for. Such is not tho case. The cntiro debt was incurred by Mr. John Anderson, of tho Wniwera, and. the judgment against me has been given on account of my having introduced him to the house. No por tion whatever of this debt of £18 lfis, w;is contracted by me cither for drink or other wise.

THE COLONIAL PRIZE-FIRING.

We regret that through disapointment in the transmission of our second message from the Butts, we were in yesterday's issue unable to givo the score of the fifth set, but which we now append. In the afternoon more persons arrived on the ground arffl made the scene a more animated one, and especially during the firing by the cadets great interest was maui festcd. Wo" append hereto the score of the fifth set, as also that of the cadots. One very narrow escape from accident at the Butts was the only thrilling event of the day, Lieutenant Burns having had a most remarkable escape owing to some 'error in (lie transmission of orders, a ride ball having passed through the paper in his hand, in which he was noting the score. The following was the scoring yesterday : —

Municipal Police Act. —Emily Foreman was charged with allowing a goat to stray. — Mr. Joy for the defence.—On? the evidence of Luc-y Foremen, a child of eleven years, show ing that the.animal had escaped by breaking its rope, the case was dismissed.

THE MAIL.

A TIMELY PARDON

A correspondent with the French Army of the West relates an incident winch is cor tainly not without a parallel in military hiatoi-y-*^-"'llie ordomiancc who escoi'ted. trne was a highly-interesting fellow. He,told me he regretted sincerely having to leave his village -home, hut he could not stay thero whilst the invader stood upon the soil of France. He also told me that a man in the same* company as himself had, guilder the 'influence of drink, used mutinous and threat ening expressions towards his superior, and had T)een condemned to be shot. All 'had been done to save hia life. The paymaster, supported by a deputation of non-commis sioned ollicers and comrades of the con demned man, had in vain attempted to obtain a mitigation of the sentence —the general was determined to "enforce discipline. I am bound to say that I could not sleep for thinking of that wretched man ; and when I sallied out at early dawn to see the poor follow sent to tyis last account, it was cer tainly not out of morbid curiosity. I entered into the camp as the grey dawn was breaking, and went direct to head-quarters. Some of the officers were conversing when the drums beat la generate, and I mechanically fol lowed them to a field just outside the camp. The men were drawn up, forming three sides of a square, and standing behind them I could see where the earth had been disturbed by the making of a newly-dug grave. The drums again rolled, and I saw the prisoner approach, escorted by his own comrades. He saluted the officers when he passed them, and seemed calm, and undaunted at his approaching end An oppressive silence reigned whilst with measured steps the condemned man marched to what in a few moments would form his last resting place. The firing party stepped to the front, the victim divested himself of his coat and vest, his eyes were bandaged, the aiiinonier left his side, and just when .we expected to see the poor fellow ushered into eternity, an offi cerapproached and announced thatthegoneral had graciously condecended to pardon the coiidomned man, in the hope that the.narrow escape he had had, would prove a .warning to himself and to his* brethren in arms. A loud cheer was raised for the general, and the reprieved man sank fainting to the ground. All his calmness and fortitude forsook him, and for some time he lay un conscious upon the brink of his freshly-dug grave."

The PohticAL Peisoneks.—Tho Wexford Town Council have anticipated the action of tho Dublin Corporation by passing a resolu tion to petition the Queen and Government for the liberation of the political prisoners, who, thoy say, havo been sufficiently punished, "for their thoughtless t and reprehensible folly ;" and thoy obsorve that "the present moment is an auspicious one in consequence of an approaching happy circumstanco in'the domestic circle of our good and gracious Sove reign." If other municipalities adopt this Joyal and judicious tqse, tho prisoners will probably have no reason'to regret their inter ference.

The legal manager of the- Tokatea Gold Mining Company, Cororaandel, on Saturday icyeuing lodged 400 ozs. 4 dwts. in the Bank. o*f New Zealand as the result of tho crushing to that date. There is-still a large quantity of stone to be put through the machine* Notice is given that the annual Licensing mooting of the Justices for Onehuuga will take place ou the 18th April, '<■
