James Shan was then called, and deposed that he was a miner, and living at the time of the fire with the prosecutor, and working on the night shift. On the evening of the fire he left the whare safe ; lie had used neither light nor fire that night in the whare. Witness, Shingleton and prisoner, had settled up matters in connection with a joint contract on that afternoon, and they had some disagreement upon that occasion ; when Shingleton said tliey wanted to swindle him out of his rightful portion of the profit of the contract. This took place in Fernandez's shop, in Kapanga/when-prisoner said '' they would all go to h—l together ; and if he got the billet of stoker he'd know who to fire up" ; but witness took no notice of the expression at the time, but after the fire he thought it had a significant meaning to the prisoner. He could not positively swear that it was the prisoner or Dawe— another miner who was also dissatisfied— who made use of the words.

Mary Quiii was called, and stated that on the 10th October she was residing in a whare next to that of the prisoner. Previous to that time she was taking care of the prisoner's child, and one belonging to Harry Maun. She took charge of the prisoner's child in the day time only. She put Maun's child to bed, and went home with the prisoner's child, but could not get in as the whare was locked. She then took it back to her own whare and put it to bed. She then took a walk down the street—this was a little after seven—and took the track leading to Jones' paddock. She passed Shingleton's whare. She was going to get some money of the prisoner for the support of the child. It was moonlight. As she passed Shingleton's whare she saw a white board (produced) lying along the path to the whare door, and a man by the door muttering to himself. There was no light in the prosecutor's whare. The man had light trousers on. She could not see his head, as he was partly inside. Shortly after the fire broke out; she was then on her way to Kapanga, and had met the parties described by a previous witness ; she imme diately turned back and saw the prisoner coming up towards her whare from Shingle ton's' which was burning. She spoke to the prisoner. He said "Don't be alarmed the fire won't reach your whare nor mine. About seven minutes elapsed between the time of seeing the man at the whare and meeting the prisoner. His Honor thought (taking the distance into consideration that witness must be in error). About half-an-hour after she saw the white board standing against the pri soner's whare.

Sergeant Egan proved to_ taking the prisoner into custody, and cautioned him, but lie said nothing ; he seemed to be under the influence of drink. Upon being asked he said he understood his position very well. To the prisoner : When he came up to his whare the door was closed and the board lying across; the distance between Mary Quin's and the church he believed to be 160 yards. His Honor asked Shan if on the night in question he had been smoking, as diggers are in the habit of doing ? The witness could not remember ; sometimes he smoked ; tlie whare, he believed, was built in May last, and the floor was of earth; the slightest spark would have caused the whare to ignite. The prisoner in his defence pointed out several discrepancies in the statement of Mary Quin, and urged that he could have no object in setting fire to the whare, as he and Shingleton were on friendly terms ; and whatever might be their judgment his con science was not his accuser, and he only asked the jury calmly to weigh the evidence and consider the discrepancies therein, and give an honest verdict. Anne Sheelian, on being examined, cor roborated generally the statement of Mary Quin.

His Honor then went carefully over the evidence of the several witnesses, when the jury retired to consider their verdict.

HUMANITY.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir,—l do not know what remedy can be applied to this wrong that needs resistance, but I have been a pained eye and ear-witness to the cruel process of the training of little boys now going on during the day in tlie Circus. Tlie cries of a poor little fellow, whose back was being forcibly bent, were piteous to listen to ; while the most fearful oaths that ever defiled man's mouth proceeded from the trainer. Is there any remedy? Can the police prevent positive cruelty '! At least I have done my duty in mentioning the matter in your paper, which never refuses help in the cause of mercy.—lam, &c, Humanity.

The matter was referred to the Home Mission Committee. Mr Brown, who had formerly resigned his position at Onehunga, in consequence of ill health, was again recognised as the minister of that parish, having resumed the pasto rate of that district. Mr James McKee, a student of the Thames, was examined on the subjects prescribed by the Presbytery, which concluded the business.
