the whare with lis head leaning against prisoner's breast. Mrs Smith was pre sent ; he saw her pass a needle to prisoner, apparently to sow up the wound. The only words witness spoke were, " I thought you had finished me." He had not either on that or on any day previous given prisoner any provocation whatever. After this, witness not liking his situation, and the presence of prisoner, fell from the bed and struggled to get outside. He then called to a mnn passing to come to his assistance. His cry was not answered. The whare was in a hollow. Nothing had passed between them previous to the blow, and before that time witness was a strong, healthy man, able to do a good clay's work. No marks of blood were on the spade before that occurrence. To the Prisoner : I was not sitting at tho loft side of the fireplace with my face looking outwards when you came to the door you never mentioned anything about your things to me, nor did I take up a gum-scraping knife. I did not swear by heaven I would drive it through you if you came in at the door. I never saw you at the door until I saw you inside after you struck me. The woman Smith did not bid me lay down the knife. I was going to my work —my hat was inside. I remember at the Ruakaka striking you when you were sitting in front of me. I did not run after you 150 yards through the ti-tree with a gum-scraping knife ; nor did I steal from your tent on that night a bag of clothes. In answer to his Honor prisoner said he did not remember the date referred to in the cross-exaniination, but it was about five months ago. Cross-examination continued : The men did not shake out a bag on the field. They did not order me off the field for that act. His Honor : What act ? Prisoner : Robbing me, your Honor. Continued.- I was not present when you asked the men to let me stay on the field. When you knew I was going you would not let me go. I never robbed you nor any other man of tent and blankets. I have not got now in possession a hat, a flannel, and a shirt of yours. I had a hat that you bought for me. I did not sell your fowls and pig during your absence at Hikurangi. I believe you took away all your things from Ruakaka, and what you did not take you broke. I assisted Mrs Smith in taking her things, but don't know what she had. Never in this world did a man say such words to me.! (This was in answer to a question if prisoner had not asked him to " come out without a knife and stand like a man.") Prisoner: After repeating some of the questions first put, said he had nothing more to ask, as he thought witness would only perjure himself. In reply to his Honor, Dr. Philson thought Delaney was able to remain in Court a while longer without being in commoded. Thomas Deacon, a licensed publican at Riverhead, was examined. He deposed to prisoner going to his house, and when there complaining that prosecutor and a woman had robbed him of £15 or £16 ; on a second occasion prisoner said he had re covered £15. In answer to prisoner witness said he did not remember his asking for a magis trate or anything of that kind. Margaret Johnson (wife of a store keeper carrying on business in the dis district of the occurrence) deposed to what she knew. She described prosecutor —Delaney—as an honest man, very quiet, and as one who always paid what he owed. William Henry Newenham (driver in Johnson's employ) and Arthur Deacon (son of Thomas Deacon) were sworn as to what they were cognisant of. Dr. Philson in his evidence described minutely the nature of the wounds and the condition af Delaney when—on the after noon of April sth—he \*,as received as a patient at the Provincial Hospital. He feared the prosecutor would never be a perfectly strong man again. William Kewley, gumdigger, said he has stayed with prisoner some ten days in the month of March. There had been some quarrel between prisoner and Delaney about a woman, causing the former to make a determination to maim Delaney in some way. He said he in tended to surprise him in so:-ne way, and cut him down without the slightest chance of escape, but not to murder him—to use prisoner's own words, to " give him six months in the hospital." Witness was cross-examined very narrowly by the prisoner. He denied having received anything for his evidence, or that he had any ill-feeling in the matter. In reply to his Honor witness said he treated the threat as b6ing in momentary anger, that would pass away quickly. Sergeant Walker deposed to receiving the spade. Detective Ternahan gave evidence of apprehending prisoner beyond the Wade on the fith April. 9.o'i tin ;. -for the Crown. !-.oher sal].:..'; •» witnesses — ...both biulknno, '77i.<", "'"^rien.
