HOKSE STEALING

William Collier was arraigned on an in dictment charging him with stealing a horse at Tanranga at the end of December last, the said horse being the property of Mr Henry Robert Shaw. The pi-isoner, who was defended by Mr MacCormick, pleaded " Not guilty." The prosecutor, on being sworn, deposed to having missed the horse on the day *'>^ v?! o'',f)ne^ "1 the indictment, and did not "nveM»HivN? a"l mvfcil May last, when it was in t> vloV^oOion of the police. f-KUij. ®>v 'lituil Salt deposed to having shoed the * pony about the 13th December last. It was in his possession only three hours. He had not seen the pony near his place since then. Witness had never seen the pony sold. The pony was not branded to his knowledge. A Maori witness was then sworn, and his evidence given through an interpreter. This witness was a ferryman, between Taumnga and Matipiki. In December last the prisoner came to witness, on his road from Matapiki to Tauranga, about seven o'clock in the evening, and asked to be taken across the river. Prisoner had a horse with him, the colour of which was described by witness as " not very white and not very brown." It was on the second day of the races (Dec. 2) that witness had crossed prisoner and the horse. Witness had seen the horse in ques tion since in the possession of the police, and recognised, it as the one in prisoner's {x>ssession when he crossed him in his ferry - joat on the 2nd December. Witness did not know where the prisoner had got the horse. Here King, another Maori, deposed to having been examined in this case before the magistrate at Tauranga, and had seen the horse in question at that time. Previous to this he had seen the horse in prisoner's possession, but could not give the date. The pony was not branded when I first saw it, but about three "months after I assisted prisoner to brand it. [Here witness described the kind of brand by making a peculiar curve in his fingers, something resembling the Q in the dumb alphabet.] Sergt. Naden was next placed in the box, and deposed to having received information respecting Mr Robertshaw's cream-coloured pony. He had heard it was at a place called Te Teko, about fifty-five miles from Tauranga. Witness met the prisoner, and asked him if he had been in possession of a

certain cream-coloured pony, with black legs. Prisoner said he had ; he had bought it" at Tauranga, and had paid £2 15s. for it. It was tied tip at Salt's blacksmith's shop at the time he purchased it. Prisoner said he did not know who he had purchased it from, or whether it was from a black or white man ; if he had received a receipt for it he might have burned it ; it was less than 12 months since he purchased the pony. Witness then arrested prisoner upon sus picion of having stolen the horse.

James KcMillan, a constable in the Armed Constabulary, gave similar evidence to the last witness.

Mr MacCormick addressed the jury, on behalf of the prisoner, at considerable length.

His Honor then summed up, after which the jury retired.

[Left sitting.]

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY

[Before P. A. Phillips, Esq. R.M.] DRUNKENNESS.

Two men were fined five shillings each for being drunk and incapable ; and two for being drunk and disorderly were fined 20s each and costs. DESERTION. William Osborne, the man-o'-war's-man, was again brought up charged with desertion. Sergeant Pardy stated that he had received a telegram from Capt Chapman, of H.M.S. Dido, stating that a man-of-war would shortly be in Auckland. The prisoner said he had been promised Lis discharge to-day. It was very hard to be kept in gaol so long. At this rate he might be detained twelve months. His Worship said he would remand him for one more week, and unless the Naval au thorities were prepared to receive him by then he would be discharged. WANDERING CATTLE. John Russell was fined ten shillings for permitting his cows to wander. George Hart was fined a similar amount for leaving his horse and cart.

This concluded the business

-^ttogors, the poet, related the following ajtory—' My old friend Maltby, the brother of the bishop, was a very absent-minded man, One day at Paris, in the Lourve, -we were looking at the pictures, when a lady entered and spoke to me and kept me some minutes in conversation. On rejoining Maltby, I said: 'That was Mr?. . We had not met for so long she had almost forgotten me, and asked n»e if my name wa« Rogers.' Maltby. still looking at the pictures, said, And was it?' A man painting the cornice of a house, fell from the ladder, and it was supposed that be •was badly hurt. Immediately after the fall a young man run to tne shop to inform the painter of the misfortune that had over taken his workmen. The master listened to the thrilling description of the fall, and, with the ruling passion , still strong in him, asked an jiojiely, *JDid he spill his paint?'

THE DYING STREET ARAB.

I knows what you mean ; I'm a dyin'— Well, I ninfc no worse nor the rest; 'Taint them as dodß nolhin' but prayiu', I reckons, as is the best.

I aint had no father nor mother A-tel!in' me wrong from the right ; The streets aint the place—is it, parson ?— For sayin' your prayers of a night ! I never knowed who was viy father, And mother she died long ago ; The folks here they brought menpsomehows It aint much the've teached me, I know.

Yet I thinks they'll be sorry and miss me, When took right away from this here, For sometimes I patches them slyly A-wipin' away of a tear.

And they says as they hopes I'll get better I can't be no worse when I'm dead ; I aint had so jolly a time on't — A-dyin' b3' inches for bread.

I've stood in them streets precious often, When the -wet's been a-pourin' down, And I aint hud so much as a mouthful, Nor never so much as a brown.

I've looked in them shops with the winders Chockefull of what's tidy to eat, And I've heerd gents a-larfin' and ialkin', While l dropslike a dorg at their feet.

But its Itind on yon, sir, to pit by me ; I aint now afeerd o' your face ; And I hopes, if it's true us you tells me, We'll meet in that tother place.

I hope 9ns you'll come when it's over, And talk to them here in the court ; They'mind what, you say, you're a parson; There won't be no larkin' nor sport.

You'll tell them as how I died happy, And hopin' to see them again ; That I'm pone to th»t land where the weary Is fived of his trouble and pain.

Now open that book as you give me — I feels iis it never fells lies— And read them words—you know, guvnor— As is good for the chap when he dies. There, givemeyouv hand,,sir and thanlc'ee Tor the good as you've done a poor lad ; Who knows, had they teached me some better, Imight'nt have grown up so bad ?

Matuias Baeb.

There is a man in Derby, Pcnsylvania, who purchased a bulldog, whom he pro posed to turn loose in his t-tore at night in order to scare away the burglars. The first evening after he had obtained posses sion of the animal he locked it in the store, and went away a happy man. The next morning early he went round to the store and unlocked the door. The dog was vigilant—the man was suprised to perceive how very exceedingly vigilant that dog was—for no sooner was the door opened than the dog seized its owner by the leg suddenly, and seemed to be animated with an earnest and vigorous resolution not to let go until it had removed at least one good mouthful. And the man pushed the dog back and shut the door on its ribs until the animal relaxed its jaws ; and then the man kicked the dog into the store and shut the door as if he were in a hurry to do something. Thea he suspended buisness for a week, and sppnt the vacation firm g at that dog through the windows, and down the chimney, and up through the cellar ceiling, with a shot-gun, trying to exter minate him. And that mercantile establis ment did not open for trade until the man had paid twice the first cost of the dog to the dog's former owner to come and take it home; and then when he got in he found that during the bombardment holes had. been shot througli mackerel barrels and molasses cans and coaloil kegs so that there was misery and ruin every where. Dogs have no more charms for this man ; and if you allude in his presence to the noble work that is being done by the Woman's Branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, that merchant is always observed to rise up and swear.

An Irishman had been sick along time, and while in tins stnte would occasionally cease breathing, and life be apparently extinct for some time, when he would again come to. On one of these occasions, when awakened from his sleep, Patrick nskel : 'An how'U we know Jemmy, when you're dend ? You're after walking up irery time ' 'Bring me a glass o' grog, and say to me, 'Hcre.s till vees, Jimmy ! an' if I don't raise up and drink, thin bury mo'

A correspondent of the Lyttelton Times gives the following romantic description of an Australian township : —At Gume ticha, a pretty little township amongst the hills,we sawgorse hedgesand English oaks, English pheasants, and rabbits and haw thorn fences covered with berries, and then mile after mile of getting up hills, and getting down hills, a country tumbled into all sorts of queer shapes, with little valleys green and warm, and grass-covered downs with stunted timber, and great warts of rock studded here and there; now little patches of cultivation, and a cluster of houses about a roadside inn, and then mile after mile of wire fences, and boundless stretches of noble sheep country with a shepherd's hut in the distance ; parrots of all hues and sizes flying scream ing across our way, and solemn-looking magpies seated on the fence, or whistling merrily from a neighbouring tree.
