His Honor con _Jtt& at length upon the charge agams William Odium of maliciously killing , hone at Tnnurti. The horse had apparently been ' hune with a ™Pc attached tc a tree The rope had subsequently been found,; and the question arose whethei the owner of the rope might not be the destroyer of the horse. Evidence would be given regarding the identity of the rope, the fact of the horse having been seen at thf accused's house, and of the accused having tc various persons made use of expressions oi hatred respecting the owner of the horse, Those were the offences attended with some thing like violence. The other charges were of the ordinary character. He was glad to saj there were no cases of burglary. There were two charges of forgery, but both ware alleged to have been committed by one person. They might therefore con gratulate themselves upon the calendai being comparatively clear of many offences which usually occupied a prominent place on it. Two cases from Tau*inga, ol obtaining goods under false pretences, re quired notice. One was a charge brought by the keeper of a well-known hostelry there against a man who had been boarded at his hotel upon representations made by him that he had considerable wealth, and was about to marry a daughter of Mr Simpkin, who was also possessed of means. The jury must satisfy themselves, in the first place, that the accused made certain pretences, knowing them to be false; secondly, that he used those pfc rsnees for the purpose of getting goods : and thirdly, that he got those goods. If the accused, by making an appearance of wealth, and by mere swagger deceived the hotel-keeper, 'and so obtained credit, that was not sufficient to establish a charge of false pretences. His Honor then allude;! briefly to the charge of fake pretences against -WiUiam Moffatt, the charge of forgery against Alexander Jfaemillan, and to the Corpmandel quicksilver robbery, aftei" which the Grand Jury retired to consider the cases brought before them. EMBEZZLEMENT. Henry Cnthbertson, aged IS, convicted at the last; Criminal sessions of the Court of em bezzling a pdst letter containing half-a sovereigu, the property of the Postniaster, was brought up to receive sentence. Hi 3 Honor remarked on the circumstances of the case, which are still fresh in the recollection of our readers, and said that the recommendation forwarded by Mr BrookfieM had been didy considered by the Court of Agpeal, who were anxioils to deal as leniently as possible with the prisoner. He had been clearly guilty of secreting the letter containing tb.p- covt, which was a very serious offence against the public. The recommendation and his previous character had been duly considered and the Court would deal as leniently with the case as it was possible consistent with its duty. The prisoner had been indicted under the 40th section of the Act with embezzlement. The Court, therefore, would pass upon him the lightest- possible punish nient it-was in its power to pass, namely, three year's imprisonment with hard labour. TKUE BILLS. The grand juiy found true bills against William Bridger, Wi^iam Wr.'gley Moffat (two bilta), Francis Walker, James Anderson, and Thomas Henry Barclay. LABCENY.

William Bridger was aiTaig^ecl on a chai'ge of stealing the sum of £12 from the ship BlancM; and, upon pleading guilty, was sentfeiiced to Bix months' imprisonment. /STEALING A HEIFER. Francis Walker was arraigned on a charge of stealing and killing a heifer, the property of Edward Jones, of Wairoa. Mr Brookfield appeared for the prosecution, nd Mr. Hcsketh for the defence. Edward Jones depo. Ed that ho was a farmer and seitler at Wairoa, and that he knew the prisoner, who lived a short distance from h;s own residence. On the Bth of December last lie missed his heifer, which he minutely described, and upon information received from Mr Masefield he, went to a certain spot as directed, and found the -inside or offal of the beast scattered about, also the rope fastened to a tree yith which the prisoner had hauled up the iieifer, Some of the pieces of the heifer were handed to the jury, which witness described as a most unusual way of cutting up cattle. Went to the prisoner's house, and found some of the meat in a tub, also the head of the heifer, which had been skinned.- The'teeth were left in the head, by which he knew that the animal was not two years old. On the occasion of mak ■ ing a further search he took Mr. Macgregor with him (that was on the following day), and found the skin of the head, the horns, twf atripa.of the skin of the back, and the skin c^the tail, and he had not the slightest hesitation in saying that these skins were the skins of his heifer. . JVMr. Hesketh : The prisoner has lived m tne neighbourhood some years, and S regarded as the terror of the neigh bourhood Efchas been in the habit of prow ling about thebush, putingonaferociouslook, a. nfl ««?y"»gia tomahawk. He is under stood to be a queer, eccentric character, and a wanderer of the wilds. When they went to search, prisoner waa not in his usual fero ciou-smood, but appeared agitated, and would not give any information. °He then locked km! Iv f 1? aml went t0 work on a piece of land which he owns. Upon questioning him he said hehad plenty of cattle like that, or L JS^,T c proml that the heifer belonged ~y&d|ii,rJoae3) he would pay for it. the jfflß'iiaa cattle of his own. m whSSfl 1 deranir ed m some things, aIWJHS had aQythiiig to sell he was J V cv% enough to get the best price.
