The Evening Star. FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1871.

The daily records cf the police, and the calendars of the Supreme Court, show the folly of the present treatment of gaol-birds. Mercy to a first offence is becoming and wise, considering the weakness^ of human nature. But when we see criminals brutalised and shame less, who practically laugh at the restraints of society, society should haveno compunctions of conscience in putting its hand on them, and giving them such a squeeze as will make their nerves twinge. The Colony of Victoria, as the recognised scene for experimental legislation with advanced ideas, appears to have taken up this phase of the great criminal question ; and having fixed the point as to the necessity for making criminals pay for their own support, propoaes now to deal with the worst classes of them in a manner likely to penetrate to their sen sibilities. As we observe by the latest Australian intelligence, the Govern ment of that colony, taking a stride in advance in the endeavour to deter from crime, has submitted to the Parliament at present sitting an amendment of the criminal law, with the object of in troducing the lash more generally into prison discipline. When we consider the proved inefficiency of the present system of penalty, that it aims only at the mental feelings, where in many cases sensibilities are wholly dead, and when we see the actual visible effects of prison discipline, not in de terring, but even encouraging the repetition of crime, making gaols to be, as they have been described on high authority, "schools of crimi nal ty," we canuot help feeling that something more effective in the way of correction must be devised. There is a strong repugnance in the mind to the use of the lash, but in this psycho logical peculiarity we fail to see any argument against the use of the lash on hardened criminals. The abuse of anything is no argument against its use, and if the practice (■.'•: nnginthe army and navy has producedu /avulsion of feeling against the cat-o'-ni s-tails, that is no reason why this iusi; iment might not be made to do good * .vice in our gaols. The tyranny which too much characterised the relations of officers anu men in the service of t!ie country in former j rears found only ;; too ready instrument of expression iv the use of the lash, but we have no grounds for supposing thai: such ex cesses and arbitrary conduc: could have place in our prisons, which are so subject to the scrutiny of the public and of the Press. As a deterrant from crime, the lash has few equals, and its application to garotting and arson has been found to produce most beneficial results. Anyone conversant with the criminal classes knows that after a certain stage in crime, a return to gaol is invested in the eye of the criminal with no ter rors ; but, on the contrary, is often hailed as a pleasant provision when occupation in his peculiar calling fails him. Our present prison discipline is a proved and utter failure ; and the experiment which is now about to be made in the prison discipline of Vic toria, in applying the lash to the back to eradicate criminal tendencies from the mindj is deserving of the careful observation of all who feel an interest in questions relating to the criminal classes of our population.

The p.s. Royal Alfred leaves for the Thames at 6 o'clock this evening. The great attraction at the Holborn Ampi theatre is Miss Lulu, who takes a sudden jump upwards of 25ft. apparently without the slightest effort, alighting on a very narrow bit of plank, as though she could not help herself. Then she turns a triple somersault, and alto gether is exceedingly like a human bird. We understand that the amount handed over to Mr. Walker, of the gymnasium, by the management of the Prince of Wales Theatre, as the share of the proceeds to be given to the funds of the Orphan Home, was £15 16s. 6d. J. Cosgrave and Co. are now holding a large drapery and clothing sale, and have opened the newest and mo3t extensive and by far the largest stock ever exhibited in Auckland. They also beg to inform the people of the pro vince they are not retiring from the drapery trade, and regret exceedingly that respectable houses have to resort to such subterfuges in order to sell their goods. J. Cosgrave and Co. would wish some person to inform them where are all the retiring drapers to go ? The recont astronomical observations have Bot discovered any new heavenly bodies in which those gentle men could reside -without having any op ponents to contend against. By the arrival of the City of Melbourne wo have received no intelligence of any new land being discovered, no more people to be clothed, no Elysium where those modern Jobs could spend the remainder of their days in peace, and, alas! where are they to go p—" the shy, the dull, and tho gay." It is a pity we havo no gifted bard among us to compose some plaintive poem upon the departure of those modern Pilgrim Fathers.— [Ajdtt.]

PRINCE OF WALES TFTEATHE. This theatre was last night f.gain crowded in every part, to witness the delightful impersonations of Mr. Hoskins and Miss Colville, who were admirably supported by the company. The performances con sisted of the beautiful play of " Love's Sacrifice," in which Mr. Hoskins sus tained the character of Matthew Elmore, and Miss Colville that of Margaret. The plot of the piece is well known to all play goers, and need not therefore be de scribed, sufficient to say that the princi pal performers would bear favorable com parison with any cast that we have seen. Miss Colville is a charming actress, and one that is sure to win upon the public the more she is seen, whilst the recog nised talent of Mr. Hoskins hfs been the subject of critical eulogy for over a quarter of a century. Mr. Eyan in the character of Paul Lafont elicited enthusiastic expressions of ad miration from the "pittites," and if we may be allowed a somewhat myster rious paragraphical expression, " ex celled himself" in the pourtrayal of that designing but ultimately baffled villain. J. P. Hydes was, as usual, genially funny, and displayed powers of suction almost comparable to the famous elephant of " G-alatean" reminiscence. Mr. Clinton's Friar was rather shaky, betraying either evidences of superficial study of the words, or nervousness at the magnitude of the part. He generally impresses us as a painstaking, intelligent member of the profession ; consequently, we were somewhat disappointed at his performance last evening. St. Lo, by Mr. B. N. Jones, was played in his customary conscientious and care ful style, and Eugene de Lorme, by Mr. Booth, was a tolerably successful effort to sustain a part rather beyond his present ability. Miss Flora Anstead, Mrs. Eyan and Miss .Raymond sus tained the subordinate female characters, and the play as a whole was a satis factory and successful production. The farce "My Turn Next" concluded the performances, which were a great success. To night, "The Heir-at-Law" is to be pro duced, and as this is one of Mr. Hoskins' best impersonations, and one contributing greatly to his established popularity, we have no doubt the Prince of Wales will to-night show a brilliant success. We cannot do better than give the following extract from the Otago Daily Times, de scriptive of Mr. Hoskins' appearance in this play at Dunediu :— " Mr. Hoskins is certainly one of the best comedians who have visited this colony, and his engage ment has already caused a marked im provement in the attendance at the theatre. Last night }>o appeared in the character of Doctor Pangloss in Column's comedy of • The Heir-at-Law.' The piece, it will be remembered, contains little in the shape of plot, its merit con sisting in clearly-drawn characters and brilliant dialogue. The author's principal aim is to satirize certain socitl manners of the period at which he lived, and those minners having now become obsolete, the pia ' cannot be fully appreciated now-a ---day.-;; but its genuine wit will keep it in public favour. Mr. Hoskins' imperso natioa of Doctor Pangloss could only have been the fruit of long study, ft very word, look, and gesture was appropriate; and the whole character was invested with an individuality which proclaims the real artist. It was, in all respects, a fiuighed and talented performance, such as play goers in New Zealand seldom have the chance of witnessing."

ARTILLERY PIiIZE FIIIING. The Government prizes for skill in gun nery practice were this morning competed for at Port Britoraarfc. There was a mus ter of the Navals to the number of forty - Lieutenant LeKoy and Paymaster Hamp ton *being present. The company was divided into three detachments, and the firing commenced at eight o'clock. There was a buoy moored out in the bay at the distance of 1,600 yards — the target being six feet by six. The shell practice was not so good, owing to the badness of the fuses. The first, of £3 10s., fell to Gun Detachment No. 3 ; the second prize, of £3, was allotted to Detachment No. 2 ; and the third prize of £2 10s. was given to Detachment No. 1.

THE EXTRAORDINARY SCANDAL CASE IN IRELAND.

The action brought bj Mr. Leonard Bell Poyuter, late captain of the 16fch Eegiment of Infantry, for recovery of £10,000 damages, for an assault and battery committed on him by Mr. John Yessey Porter, of Belleisle, County Fermanagh, haa recently been before Chief Jus tice Monaghan, in Dublin, but the jury, having been unable to agree on a verdict, were dis charged. The following is an outline of the evidence taken in the course of the trial:—The plaintiff's case was opened by the Solicitor- General, after which the plaintiff was examined at great length. Having stated that he had been induced to proceed to Eellyhevlin by a pretended message from Mrs. Porter, who was made to state that she was waiting for him there, Mr. Poynter went on to say that he was seized by five men, gagged, and had his wrists and arms tied together, and was thrown into a boat and rowed down to Belleisle Defendant was one of the men, and during the journey on the river he repeatedly struck plaintiff on the face with his fists. On the arrival of the party at their destination the gag was removed, and " I asked him," con tinued Captain Poynter, " why he was treating me so, as I had never done him any harm ? He said, 'You blackguard, you know well what it is for ; the unfortunate woman has confessed.' He then told one of the men to bring a pair of scissors, and when he got these he said, ' Now I am going to put the Belleisle mark upon you.' He got my head between his knees, and cut off the hair from the top of my head, and also one side of my mustache. Then addressing the men, he remarked, ' This is the best day's work you have done for a long time. I will give each of you £5; and you, Old Craft, will get £10.' I was afterwards taken up to the terrace in frontof the house, where two large treat 138 were erected, with a transverse bar upon them. I was taken by the men, a rope was passed under my arms, and I wa3 tied up to the erection. At the direction of Mr. Porter the large bell of the house was rung, and two whips were brought to him. He said to ouo of the men, 'Is this the evening for my band to play ?' On being answered in the negative, he desired the bugler or sergeant to be sent for. When he arrived he was ordered to sound the ' assem bly,' which he did. A considerable number of people arrived, to whom Mr. Porter said, ' Sec, boys, how I will settle a blackguard English officer.' Hg then beat me for nearly ten minutes, breaking the first whip against one of the trestles, I think. I was then sent away, and proceeded in a post-ear to Ennis killen." In reply to Mr. Butt. Q.C., Cjptain Poyjter said :—" I was twice nlone with Mrs. Porter. She never said to me that she would be happier married to me than to her hus band. I had been alone with her for hours— for two hours—in the drawing-room, dining room, and in her boudoir. I determined to avoid her invitations. I objected to her re ferring to family matters, and told her dis tinctly she muet not speak to me on such subjects, and she promised she would not; and, us 1 have sworn in my affidavit, I took as much care as possible to act coldly towards her, and disabuse tier of the idea that I re garded her in any other light, than an acquaintance. With this view I made my visits to Belleisle fewer, with the intention of breaking the acquaintance altogether. During my intercourse with her I never suspected her of being attached to me." The following letters from Mrs. Porter to Captain Poyuter were also read in the course of the trial : — "October 15.—Dear Captain Poynter,—lf there was the least chance of our meeting without my suggesting a way I certainly should not be the first to write, but you know very well there is noue; so I wrote to you on Tuesday and Friday, and asked you to come on either of those days, but, alas ! you neither wrote not came. Ah ! dear love, have you so ooon forgotten the last afternoon you spent here, and last Sunday ? How you faithfully promised you would see me again! I cannot believe you can be so cruel as not to keep your promise, but this suspense is fearful. You told me you pitied me. You would pity we more if you knew how unhappy I felt when Tuesday and Friday passed and you never came. If it is on J.s account you will not come, I now let you know that he is going from home to-morrow, and will not bo back till Thursday. You may think me very wicked; but what can I do? as, if I don't let you know, how can you tell what to do P Ah, dear love, do write to me to-night (in the en velope enclosed), and lot me know to-morrow morning ; either Bay you don't want to see me any more, or else say you will come Monday or Tuesday, between three and four, and put mo out of this misery. If you come I will not repeat what I said on Sunday, nor ever ask to see you again. Ah ! darling, don't be angry with your poor little —Eliie." " Dear Captain Poynter,—Perhaps people might make romarks if we both appeared at Innismore, and mother and sister are so strict; so I think you had better come here at three o'clock instead, and wo can have as pleasant a walk as our last. John went to Dublin this morning, and does not return until Saturday; so, of course, I am rather lonely, and hope you will come and give me an account of the ball, &c. If you get this document to-night you may write mo a line by return of post, so that I may know that it is ail right; but if I don't hear to-morrow I shall still expect you.—E.P." The Court heard evidence on behalf of the defendant, who was himself examined, and whose statement was a repetition of the charges against the C.aptaiu and his wife. The witness was much afi'ected onca or twice during the examination, and entirely carried witli him the sympathies of the audience. Other witnesses stated that on more than one occasion undue intimacies were observed between Captain Poynter and Mrs. Porter. One man said that ho snw the Captain roll Mrs. Porter on the sofa. Another said that on another occasion they sat in the dark together all the evening. The Captain had for himself a whole decanter of port wine, and was carried away. A third witness, in cross-examination, admitted that Mr. Porter broke two whips on the Captain's body. The defendant's counsel, at the closo of the ad dress, was loudly cheered. Mr. Serjeant Armstrong, in speaking for the plaintiff said that it wua creditable to the ladies of Ireland that so few of them had attended to hear the case. If, he said, it had been tried in another country, not very far away, the Court would have beon well filled with females.— European Mail.
