THIS DAY.

L±Jelore Thomas Beckham, Esq., E.MJ

The Alleged Green Harp Frauds.

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. Thomas Howe, EugeneO'lMclly, Thomas Sheehan, .Tamos Oummings, James Glee son, William Walsh (late shareholders in in the Green Harp Gold mining Company, Coromandel), James Ferguson, a share broker in this city, and Mark Sheehy, late mine manager to the Green Hai'p mine, appeared in answer to a summons issued at the instigation of Sergeant Pardy, charg ing them with having, in the months of May, June, and July, 1872, unlawfully and wickedly conspired, combined and confede rated, and agreed together to disseminate and circulate false reports of and concerning the Green Harp mine and the products thereof, with intent thereby to cause an increase and rise in the price of shares in the Green Hnrp Gold Mining Company (-Registered), with the intent to induce the subjects of the Queen to purchase or buy shares in the said company during the said times, and to cheat, defraud, and injure the subjects of the Queen who should purchase or buy the said shares. The first six defendants appeared in discharge of their recognizances to answer to a similiar charge as the above laid on the information of W. J. Hunt. Summonses have since the last remand been issued against the accused, and against Mark Sheehy, the late mine manager, who is also included in the charge. In this instance the information against the whole of the defendants is laid by police Sergeant Pardy; the previous proceedings being allowed to lapse. Mr Hesketh prosecuted.

Mr Hees and Mr Joy defended. Considerable objection was made by the counsel for the defendants to the proceedings. Mr Hesketh opened the case for the prosecution at great length in an able manner. He said that he should be able to prove a clear case of conspiracy against the defendant, while he would prove that the action of the defen dant, Ferguson, constituted one of the deepest and blackest pieces of villainy and fraud that has ever been brought before a court of justice. He also stated that he would shew that overtures had been made by some of the defendants towards a settlement. He also quoted the authority of the Vice-Chancellor of England on the the subject of " rigging the market" in support of his case. Mr Rees took a legal objection to the wording of the information contained in the summons.

Mr Hesketh replied

Mr Joy applied for a bill of particulars in reference to the charge of conspiracy, and quoted authority in support of his application. His Worship suggested that the case had better proceed. J. C. Davies, legal manager of the Green Harp Goldmining Company, deposed on oath as follows: —I was appointed manager, 26th April, 1872. The directors were : Thos. Howe, William Walsh, James Gleeson, and James Curnrnings. As far as my memory serves me Gleeson resigned on the day I was appointed. On referring to the minutes, he resigned on the 29th May. Mr Moran was appointed in his place. John Hull was also appointed. The next vacancy occurred on the 27th June. Mr Cazaly was then appointed in place of Walsh, resigned. Since then ■Howe and Cumings have been disqualified by ceasing to hold to the required number of shares, namely, 100. They became disqualified on the 3rd and <Uh July. The Gazette dated 18th August, now produced, contains the list of original shareholders. O'Rielly, Walsh, Cumtnings, Howe, Glee son, Sheehan, were all originally share holders, and all appeared to have had 613 shares each, and Gleeson, 642 shares. £2 per share was the nominal value, £1 15s paid up in alloted shares. Shortly after I was appointed manager I was requested by Walsh and O'jßeilly to make up the register. Obiection was taken to the evidence as the other defendants were not present. Arguments ensued. Examination con tinued : Moran also requested to make up the register to ascertain what shares had been sold by the original shareholders, and how many remained on hand; this was required so that they might divide equally among them the re mainder. This I did, and it remained in my office for them to see, and the defendants Walsh, O'Reilly, Howe, Sheehan, and Cummins, came and saw it. It was not taken away. The general meeting was held on the 27th June. At that meeting the chairman (Howe) stated that the quantity of amalgam on hand was 1,740 ounces, and not 435 ounces as reported in the Cross. Howe was dis qualified from being a director on the <lth July in consequence of a transfer coming in for registration of a supposed sale of 385 shares to Robert Cooley. Cummings was also disqualified same day, fa Jiji following transfer? being sent in for •"""Bjjisfcratioa:—loo shares to G. Bennett; 51 to J. P. Walker, and 50 to W. Branston. [Left sitting.]

MEETING OF KATEPAYERS

The annual meeting of ratepayers in this district was held this afternoon at the Shakespere hotel, Wyndham-street, Dr Campbell in the chair. Minutes were confirmed. Only sixteen ratepayers had paid their rates and were entitled to vote. _Mr Stewart, 0.E,, stated that applica tion had been mado to tho Superintendent

AUCKLAND WHALING COMPANY (LIMITED.)

The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the Auckland Whaling Company was held at at No. 32 Insurance Buildings at twelve o'clock. The room (not over large for so important a company, we confess) was comfortably filled by shareholders; and, as soon as the difficulty of getting n seat apiece was got over, business was commenced. Mr J. S. Macfarlane was voted to the chair. The minutea of the previous meeting were road and confirmed in the usual manner, after ■which the following statement of accounts for the year ending June 30, 1872, was presented to the meeting and unanimously adopted:— Receipts.—ln paid up capital, £3 per shard on 1,000 shares, £3,000 ; advanced by Bank of New Zealand, £1,174 lls 2d j total. £4.17-1. lls 2d.

WILLIAMS V. MESSENGER.

To tho Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —I believe tho newspaper repertcrs were nob in Court when the evidence of Mr. Richmond and myself was given in the case. If auch had been published it would have been unnecessary noticing the miserable attempt of W. J. Messenger to mislead the public and injure my business reputation. I shall only notice that portion of Messenger's fabrication referring to myself, and ropeafc that which I stated upon oath ; —that on the evening of the 4th September, 1871, W. J. Messenger instructed me to sell eight shares in the Thames Gold Mining Company. I executed the commission on the sth September, 1871 (my first sale that morning) ; reported the sale, and immediately W. J. Messenger catne to my offico for a cheque. I then told him Mr. Williams was the purchaser, I did not buy them myself, as he insinuates, and my books, which will prove this are, open to the inspection of any person desirous of ascertaining tho truth. The " Victim" is Mr. Williams, and not Messenger. The latter since the verdict, has drawn the dividends and disposed of tho shares then standing to his name on the Thames Company's books —and which according to his own showing belonged to me, and nob to Williams ; but, as the jury have found—was in fact Mr. Williams' share. I cannot under stand how a bankrupt with a conscience can afford to advertise his letter a3 he does. I think ib would be better if he spent the money which that advertisement costs in explaining his conduct in reference to the last transactions. —I am, &c, J. TONSON GrAEMCK.

THE EVENING STAE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24., 1872.

[ad vebtisem ent. ] WILLIAMS V. MESSENGER. To the Editor of the Evening Star. SIR, —This action has caused great comment in public circles, and nineteen out of every twenty persons tell me they cannot understand it, the newspaper reports being so mystified. I think, too, it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to understand it. It puzzles me no less to undersran i the cause of Williams taking the first foolish step (sueing me), when he well knew I never had any business transactions with him. For that reason, and no other, did I refuse to give him a deed as havhig sold him my property. I never did acknowledge Williams in the matter; I could not. But bail Garlick come forward like a man, and told me he had neglected putting his name on the Company's books for a few days, and that in the meantime some one else had taken the shares off, I could have seen at once how I ought to act, and would have set to work and assisted him to get his property. But a third party being forced upon me, and Garlick never so much a3 speaking one worsl to me on the matter, made it appear in my eyes very much like a trap, and particularly as both men were aharebrokers. I had no confidence in them, and preferred being drugged to Court to doing that which I thought wrong. I acted according to the dictates of my o»vn conscience ; for, how could I sell to oue roan in September and to another in Octobor the same property without knowing I was doing wrong ? And, oven had I given Williams a transfer, I cannot see how i long he could have been benefited, because a matter like this cannot be smothered in the dark—it must all be brought to the light; and if put on my oath by the company I should most assuredly swear I sold to Garlick. Then what right had Williams to sue mo ? It is very likely he bought these shares of Garlick, and they both, for the saving of lialf-asrown, noglected registering thorn ; and, finding them selves in a dilemma, thought to take a short cut at me, as Mr. Williams has frequently said ho knew he had taken wrong steps, but he did not like to go against a brother broker.—l am, &c., A Victim (W. J. Messenger).
