Mr Heskcth urged tho increased bunion thereby remaining upon the shareholders who were content to remain within jurisdiction.

Mr Sees pointed out tho almost insurmountable difficulties of the position owing to the difference between the colonies and the mother country as regards proceedings for recovery of such debts, which, he was afraid, would prove too great to got over easily.

The Court's decision was held over until the next sitting underthe Act, the throe remaining eases to stand or fall by the result of the one just considered.

POLICE COURT.

10-oAoyc"'Thomas Bcckham, Esq., E.MJ DRUNKENNESS. Two drunkards were fined 10s each and costs, and another 20s and coats, for repeated offences of drunkenness.

THE CEARGES AGAINST THE CAPTAIN OF THE NEBRASKA.

A case was called on against Captain Isaac Harding, of the Nebraska, for a breach, of quarantine regulations by giving false or evasive answers to certain questions put to him relative to the health of the said ship by the harbour-master and pilot of the X^ort. A further summons (also issued against the same defendant, for not causing the Health Officer's flag, No 8 of Marryatt's code, to be hoisted at the mast-head of the steamship Nebraska, and not keeping the same flying, as required by the 115 th clause of the Quarantine Regulations, in the month of May.

The defendant did not appear, and Mr James Russell applied on behalf of the Captain to have the case adjourned until the 7th August.

Mr Brookfield consented to this ar rangement, aud the cases were adjourned accordingly till Wednesday, the 7th August. THE ALLEGED SPECIMEN STEAL ING AT THE Git KEN HARP Mark Sheehy, late mine manager of the Green Harp mine, again surrendered in discharge of his recognisances, charged with stealing specimens from the said mine at Coroinandel during the months of April, May, Juno and July, with intent to defraud.

Mr Brookfield and Mr Hesketh prose cuted ; Mr Joy and Mr W. L- liees defended the accused.

All witnesses were ordered out of Court.

Charles Wallace Hall was called as the first witness, but did not answer.

Thomas Cosgrave was next called. He deposed : I am a draper at Coroinan del. I was there about a fortnight ago with Mr Murphy. He arrived by the stoamerabout four o'clock on the afternoon of Friday. I had a conversation with him, after which mo saw the prisoner. Murphy said he had an order from a shareholder to inspect the mine. Sheehy replied that he would be in a position to' show the mine next morning. Wo made an appointment accordingly, and went next morning at tea o'clock to the claim. Sheehy was not there- I went to look for him, and found him writ ing aletter at the Exile Hotel I told him that we came according to appointment to visit the mine. He said, " Have you not always found me civil and obliging on your visits to the mine ? " I replied, " Yes, I hare." We then said he would be over in about t^n minutes if he thought proper. He/did not come as promised, but v.cnj? towards Kapanga township. We followed him, and Murphy said " Sheehy, you've not kept up to your engagement," or something to that eileet. Sheeny said he had his instructions from the directors fo% people to visit the mine, and that day Avas Thursday. Murphy spoke very impertinently, and the prisoner said he would see the directors and ask if he was to be insulted in this manner. Murphy threatened him, and said, "Mark my words, you will .be out of the mine before many days are over your head.'J Murphy asked either that day or the day before to see the specimens. The prisoner refused to shew them without instructions from the directors. This I knew tobe a fact previous to this almost every visitor could see the specimens. The follow ing morning Mr Bennett took possession of' the mine. I have been to the mine on several occasious, and saw specimens at the prisoner's house. They were of a brown and blue and white colour, showing streaky gold. He did not state that they came from the mine. On all occasions that I visited the mine I asked to see the specimens, and prisoner took me to the hut and showed them to me. To the Court :At this moment Ido not know whether I have any interest in the mine or not. (Laughter.) Examination continued : I cannot form any idea of the quality of the stone or its weight. On one occasion they were con tained in two iron dishes smaller than ordinary washing basins. Charles Wallace Hall sworn, : I am correspondent of the New Zealand Herald. I know the Green Harp claim. Prisoner was mine manager. As Herald corespondent I have frequently visited the mine. I did so in May and June and commencement of July. I saw speci mens of gold-bearing p quartz on several occasions in the prisoner's hut. He told me they came from the Green Harp shaft. The last time I saw speci mens was three weeks before Mr Bennett took possession, and before the crushing took place. There was a tin dishful of loose dirt containing a large quantity of Io o£l<* -.-old. Six weeks before that $i -■■■ J .^aid it contained from eight to ten lbs. of gold. He also showed me another dishful of gold-bearing quartz, about sixty to eighty lbs. in weight. The prisoner said it would gofrom one to two ounces to the pound, and some more. There was a lot of stone in the room besides, but I did not examine it. It was in a tub; he said this was equally rich with the other. I estimated that the total yield would be from five to six; hundred ounces of gold from the specimens I saw. George Black, mining engineer, Coro mandel, deposed: I received some amal gam from Mr Christie, of the Bank of New Zealand, on the 9th July, to retort The quantity was 576 ounces of hard squeezed amalgam. It yielded 200 ounces of—of—of —what came out of the retort, I don't know what it was, The first retort of 157 ounces of amalgam yielded 74 ounces, Tliia was taken to

Auckland by the legal manager. The rest was smelted at Coroinandal next day, and yielded 180 ounces, this was brought to Auckland by an employee of the bank. 1 know the mine, and remember the battery starting upon the stuff. Next day (the 21st June) I went to prisoner's house,.and ?een some specimens; should estimate them at about four cwt.

Henry Louis Picket deposed :I am on the staff of the melting department of the Bank of New Zealand^ at Auckland. I was at Coromandel on the 9th July ; I received some deposit from Mr Christie, which I melted. I don't know the exact weight. One bar of 180 ounces, the result of the melting, I brought up to Auckland and gave to the assayer at the bank. Samuel S. Rapson, assayer to the Bank of New Zealand. Auckland, deposed : I received an ingot of metal weighing about 74 ounces, the produce of the Green Harp. The bar brought to Auckland by Mr Picket was added to the ingot, I made an assa3 r, and reported the result to Mr Davies. It turned out principally copper. The report produced is mine, (Report read.) It stated that it was composed of base metal 01*9; silver, 94; gold, i 28"7, The base metals are copper with a little trace of iron and a little lead. I am in a position to state that the base metals were not native alloy with the gold and the silver, I decomposed some of the metal previous to melting. Had it been native, from the proportion of the baser of the metal 1 ishould have got fine gold ; the result was I got gold in the ordinary character, quite characteristic of Coromandel gold. Had the copper been naturally a produce of the ore the silver would have been decomposed as well as the base metal, leaving only the gold. I found the silver and gold native. I tested a solution of the base metals ; there was no silver present. The conclusion, as an assiiyer, I draw from that I decline to answer publicly as it would not be politic, I will tell his Worship privately, if neces sary. (Laughter.)

The Court thought that hardly neces sary, and recommended Mr Hesketh to put the question in anotherwwa r. Examination continued : If the base metal had been native I ought to have found silver. The copper must have been added during the process of amalgama tion. (The I"witness then explained at length the process-) Had the copper been added to the quartz and passed through the battery it would have floated away on account of the specific gravity of copper and quick silver, and Would not have alloyed with the mercury, but would have floated just the same as wood would upon the water.

This was the case for the prosecution, and the Court adjourned until half-past one. On the Court resuming, Mr Jlees asked the Court if it considered there was sufficient evidence before it, to put the accused tipon his answer. The Court replied that it considered it was a case that should go to a jury.

Mr liees then said that after consulting with Mr Joy they had decided to reserve the defence-

The depositions were then read over, and the prisoner fully committed to take his trial at tho ne::fc criminal sessions of the Supremo Court—bail being accepted, the prisoner's own bond in £400 and two sureties of £200 each. The same persons who had before become sureties for the prisoner having justified to thisextontjtheir sureties were accepted.

This concluded tho business

STAR OFFICE.

4.15 p.m. The Caledonian are taken out splendid specimens. Shares have advanced to £37.

The Auckland Gas Company held their annual meeting (his afternoon at the offices in the Insurance buildings. Mr Frederick Whitaker occupied the position of chair man, and the gentlemen present numbered nearly a dozen. " The accounts which have been presented to the shareholders for the year ending 30th June, 1872, leave a credit to profit and loss of £1,73-1 0s 2d. Out of this sum the directors propose to pay, on the 25th instant, a dividend of five per cent.; paid on account of dividends in Januai'y last, ten per cent, per annum. The balance of £300 0s 2d will be carried to the credit of profit and loss account for the next year. The company's affairs' are in a °ound and satisfactory state, and the directors hope to be able to pay an increased dividend for the current year." So it appeared from the report read, and which was adopted on the motion of Mr W. C. Wilson, seconded by Mr P. Dignan. Tho past directors (Messrs P. Whitaker and Thomas Macfarlane) were re-elected. Messrs Doardman and Pierce were ap pointed auditors, A vote of thanks to the directors for their previous services con cluded the business. '

THE SHARE MARKET.

Ttie share market is in a very unsettled state. There has been a good deal of business done on the Exchange to-day. Caledonians and Moanataivi are the only 9fcock in demand. Sales—Caledonian, £28, £29, £30, £31, £32 10s, £32, £33 ; Moanatairi, £G 5s ; Thames, £G 4s and £6 ss. .

Tub llawk.—The hawk iz a, karniverous fowl, and chickinivorous one, too, every good chance he kan git. I hay seen them shut up their wings and drop down out ov tho sky, like a destroying angel, and pick up a young goslin and sore aloft agin quick. I hay fired a double-barrelled gun into them, loaded with fine shot, and it had the same exilarating offekt oj them that 4 quarts ov oat 3 would hay on an old hoss. I don't surpose that even hen hawks are made in vain, but I have wandered if just onuff ov them to prmerve an O3sortment wouldn't answer.
