His Worship : "I think, if possible, the cases should be gone into at once."

Sergeant-Major Pardy said he would rather the case be remanded until tomorrow for the sake of the prisoner.

His Worship, "Well, if it be for his benefit, let the case stand over until to morrow."

This was all the ordinary business.

The Constabulary Warned

Shots near Kihikihi

CAMBRIDGE.

This day. Tana te Waharoa and Hote (sons of 'William Thomson) have gone to inter view the King. They have undertaken to produce, an answer as to his inten tions in relation to Sullivan's mur derers within three days. The murderers have gone to Te Xuiti, carrying Sullivan's head upon ithe end of a pole.

The natives have warned the Con stabulary to cease work across the Moanatuatua swamps, and affairs are assuming rather a serious aspect. Colonel Lyon and Major Clare are here, and the Constabulary are coming up.

It is reported reliably that shots jhave been heard in the direction of Kihikihi.

News of the murder appears to have come on the King natives suddenly and unexpectedly, and has caused great excitement amongst them, but they appear at present undecided how to act.

THE LASH IN MOUNT EDEN UNKNOWN.

FLOGGING OF A PRISONER.

The first flogging of a prisoner under the Act lately passed, which renders the. per petrators of a certain class of offences liable to corporal punishment, took place this morning in the Stocl;ade at Mount' Eden. The name of the man who received this disgraceful and painful punishment is Robert Stinson, who about a fortnight since was found guilty at the Criminal Sessions of the Supieme Court of an attempted commission of a vile offence upon the person of an idiot girl aged 13 years, and was sentenced to im-

prisonment in gaol for eighteen months and to receive thirty strokes from the " cat o' nine tails." His Honof Jus tice Johnson, in sentencing the prisoner, remarked that he was sorry to say this class of offences were too common ; they brought discredit upon the community among whom they occurred, and it,was necessary that the perpetrators should be severely punished. The Legislature, he said, .had shown its sense of such conduct as the prisoner's by providing an exceptional punishment for such offences, and had given power to a judge to inflict personal chastisement; and, however adverse he might be to its infliction, he thought he should be trifling with the inten tion of the Legislature if he did not make an

example to deter such men as the prisoner from carrying out their infamous designs. He further said that there was a degradation connected with the subjection to corporal punishment which had induced the Legisla ture to re&erve that kind of chastisement specially for the offence of which the culprit Stinson had been convicted, and he hoped that the species of punishment and the dis grace of it would strike terror into the mind of the prisoner, and also others of his descrip-

tion, and prevent their indulgence in such lustful habits. There has been since the sentence some difficulty in finding a man capable of carrying out the punishment, but yesterday Capt. Eyre succeeded in engaging the services of a man in whose hands the " cat " was no novelty, and whom, from his former experience, should be able to inflict the torture with no half measures. It is sufficient here to state that the man is an old soldier. At a quarter - past six this morning a couple of warders proceeded to the culprit's cell, and, arousing him, told him to prepare for his punishment. Stinson made no resistance, but quietly donned his prison garb. He was then conducted to the "refractory yard," where were in at dance Captain Eyre, the governor of the gaol, the Provincial Surgeon, three or four of the prison warders, the representatives of the press and lastly the executioner. The prisoner on emerging in the cold grey morn ing air eyed the triangle, and an in voluntary shudder passed over his frame. The doctor having examined the culprit, at once certified that hewas in a fit state of health to undergo the punish ment ordered to be inflicted on him, namely, thirty lashes. Stinson was then ordered to divest himself of a portion of his clothing. His back being thus bared to the waist, he was secured to the triangle by his hands being strapped above his head and his legs lashed at the knees and at the ankles. His look on approaching the place of punishment was neither defiant nor indif ferent, but rather apprehensive, he having nerved himself to bear the stripes as well as possible, and had evidently made up his mind not to flinch. After the prisoner had been triced up for a minute the man who was tocarry out the sentence of the law having divested him self of superfluous clothing, and bared hia; arm, advanced lash in hand, and measuring; off his distance prepared to begin his work.; At the signal given, the "cat" was given a; sweep, the keen thongs whistling through the air, fell upon the culprit's defence-; less back with a sharp sound. The first stroke left a red-mark, and the prisoner's hand began to twitch nervously. After several blows had fallen on or about the same spot the skin, became much discolored, assuming a deep red almost purple hue. Not a sound escaped from his lips, and as stroke after stroke fell, until' the law was satisfied, there was no percept ible change in his demeanour, and although the! blood swelled within the skin almost to burst ing it, yet none esdaped. When the' '•' cat"; had done its work there was, on that* portion of his back where the lash; had fallen, a broad belt of discolored I flesh, which had very much the ap pearance of a raw beefsteak, a proof of the terrible suffering he must have endured. As ; the lashings were being, unloosed Stinson; spoke in terms of bitterness concerning the. woman who had "been the cause of his being; brought to justice. His coat was then , thrown over his shoulders, and hewas marched; to the infirmary of the prison to have his, back dressed by the surgeon. The cat with which the punishment was inflicted was a; formidable instrument of torture, having attached to a short handle the orthodox number of tails of heavy cord knotted in two or three places. The executioner can hardly be credited with having done his work thoroughly, or the prisoner , would have suffered more acutely. , ■ ...

The Colonial Government have applied to the Admiralty that instructions be given to Captain Norris, of H.M.S.

A RELIC OF THE SEA.

A life buoy was picked up by the Herald | schooner at the North Cape, on her passage to Auckland, bearing the name of Alsager, Liverpool. No notice was taken of the event, and the life-buoy was retained on board. By a curious coincidence the officers and crew of the Alsager are at present in Auckland, two of the latter number being in custody on a charge of scuttling the ship. The second mate happening this morning to go on board ! teh Herald recognised the buoy, and supplied the following particulars: — On the 24th June last the vessel, while in her voyage from London to Mel bourne, was in lat. 27 S., and long. 173.15 E., when a man fell overboard ; the life buoy Was thrown to him by the second mate, but without avail ; the man was lost, and the vessel proceeded on her voyage. Her sub sequent career has already been lately before the public ; but this buoy, after course of ten months, drifting 1300 miles, was picked up off the coast of New Zealand, brought into Auckland, where those who are enabled to identify it are also thrown here by chance.

We are glad to learn that the youth and vigour of the North Shore are about turning themselves to the study and practice of athletic sports. To-night, at half-past, seven, a meeting' is cdnvened to the Flagstaff Hotel, for the formation of a Football Club, and we understand that it is the intention of the promoters to challenge the athletes of Auckland, and all other places, to come over from time to time and try conclusions with muscles nurtured amid the bracing breezes of the North Shore. We are requested to correct an error which appeared in last night's issue, namely, that the members of the Auckland Cavalry troop did not make their appearance for their annual inspection. We have since learned they met in the domain, and were addressed both by Colonel Harington and Major Gor don, and were instructed by Sergt. Wain house. Mr .Larnach, formerly colonial manager of the Bank of Otago, and now Dunedin manager of the new National Bank, and agent for several large English and Australian capi talists, has made another large ' station purchase in Southland, having bought the Longridge station, belonging to Mr Peter McKellar,: and containing 8,000 acres freehold and 30,000 leasehold, fully stocked, for £34,000, the run being 55 miles from Invercargill, and only ten from the line of the Winton and Kingston rail way. Mr Larnach has also bought the Eyre' Creek run, about 70 miles from Invercargill, containing 5100 acres freehold, and 40,000 leasehold, for £25.000. This station has long been held by Messrs Dalgetty and Co. Webb lost £200,000 by the San Francisco mail service, so he says.
