out where to have got them crushed if I had made inquiries. No one saw me return 'them. No one knew anything of the affair but Milner. Yes, I did speak to the engi neer at Tookey's about them. I was uneasy in my mind. My conscience . accused me of stealing the specimens. I could not rest, and I saict so. I lent Milner two pounds to go to Auckland rather than have the specimens crushed. The notes had nothing to do with the specimens ; they were not designed to stopMilner'smonfch. [Mr Hesketh here called witness' attention to a statement which he made before the magistrate at Grahamstown contradictory of his present evidence, when prisoner said he had been drinking hard at the time, and scarcely knew what he had said bofore the magistrate.] Witness continued: I did not finish my statement before the Magistrate, and did not give full information about the £2. I believe he did not say " sling me two notes and I'll say no more about it." When we say "cousin Jack's" we mean Cornish miners. I knew Mr Richards before I worked at the mine, I also knew Mr Dewar, and told Milner so. The evening before we took the specimens I and Milner went to a dance. We got drunk that night, and were on the spree next day, when we stole the speci mens ; and on again the next night at the Rising Sun. Henry Glover deposed that he was work ing in the mine with the last witness and the prisoner at the time of the taking of the speci mens. At that time prisoner was engaged break ing specimens from the roof and letting them drop into a sack. When the suggestion was made about " Cousin Jacks," I said, honesty is the best policy. I then went away. I met the parties afterwards at the^Rising Sun. I was sober. Milner said to me, '' Harry how about the specimens ?" I- said, I knew no thing of any specimens. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Hesketh then addressed the jury for the defence.

His Honor then went carefully over the evidence, and the jury after considering the case returned a verdict of not guilty.

His Honor said, gentlemen, that is a safe verdict.

The prisoner was then discharged [Left sitting.]

SHOTOVER No. 1 GOLD MINING COMPANY.

The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this Company was held this afternoon at the large room, Insurance buildings,—Mr John Leek in the chair. There was no directors' report j but the balance-sheet for the half-year ending 30th June, 1873, was read as follows :— BALANCE-SHEET. Dr.— £ s. Od. To capital account—224oo shares, at £9 16s ... ... 219,520 0 0 To capital account— calls paid to date 3,157 19 0 £222,677 19 0 Cr. : By mine property, estimated on formation of Company .. 215,445 14 0 By machinery and buildingd .. 4,074 6 0 By cash in Union Bank of Australia 168 14 11 By cash in hand .. ... 283 By profit and loss account ... 2,986 15 10 £222,677 19 0 Promt and Loss Account.

At the request of the Chairman, Mr T. L. White, the secretary, explained to the meet ing the operations of the Company since the last general meeting. The endeavour of the directors to sell the battery belong ing to the Company had proved futile, only one tender having been sent in offering to purchase the battery for £400. Other offers for the winding engine alone had been made, ranging from £50 to £95, but the directors had not felt warranted in ac cepting any of these offers without an expres sion of opinion from the shareholders. After some dicussion it was agreed to empower the directors to offer the plant fqr sale by public auction, leaving the question of reserve in their hands; and in the event of there being no reasonable offer obtained then they be empowered to take down the plant with the view of working the ground on which it now stands.

The retiring directors were re-elected, and Mr J. Tonson Garlick re-appointed auditor. A vote of thanks to the Chairman ter minated the proceedings.

Soldikrs at a JjWreck. —The barque Batavia, 319 tons registrar, of and from Ham burgh, bound for Buenos Ayres, with a general cargo, William Steen, captain and owner, went on shore off Dyrnchurch between twelve and one o'clock on the morning of the 30th March. The steam-tugs Vivid and Palmerston, of Dover, were sent to get her off, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Mr Forster, Lloyd's agent at Dover, was early on the spot. He engaged a number of work men belonging to the neighbourhood, and obtained from Shorncliffe the assistance of thirty soldiers and two sergeants of the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Regiment. Under the command of Lieutenant Bethell, they set to work to secure the vessel's moorings, and the cargo was discharged and placed under tar paulins. In a day or two Mr Forster expects to obtain the services of more troops from Shorneliffe to dig a canal from the stern of the vessel, when it is expected the spring tides will float her. Barges have been telegraphed for from London to transmit the cargo to the Dock, where the ship wi'l be sent for repairs. But little damage is done to the vessel beyond the loss of her false keel and the tearing of a few sheets of copper.
