jealousy or other strong passions than to \ "o and set fire to a house with the possibility \ of killing the inmates. In the case of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm, his Honor said that what the ]ury had chieliy to consider was whether the pistol was loaded in such a way as, used as it was used, it could have either killed or done grievous bodily harm. , The iury then retired to consider the cases. ' " TRUE BILLS. The Grand .Jury found true bills against John Williams for stealing, Francis Falcon and John Johnson for forcible entry. Also, against James Wilson for larceny. ILLEGALLY PAWNING. Mary Anne Bird, aged 47, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a coat, the property of Walter Pell, of Shortland. The prisoner said that she did the prose cutor's washing, but as he did not pay her. and she was in distressed circumstances, she pawned the coat. She had been in prison thiee months. ,-,■.•. j Capt. Eyre said the prisoner had behaved herself with propriety since her incarceration. His Honor said that he should treat this as a first offence, and inflict but a light punish ment which he hoped would have a salutary effect upon the prisoner's future conduct. The sentence would be a fortnight s im prisonment with hard labour. STEALING FROM THE PERSON. John Williams, a seaman, aged fifty-three, was arraigned on a charge of stealing the sum of £23 from the person of William Powell, on the evening of the 29th January last. Mr Broolcfiald. on the part of the procecu tion, stated the nature of the case, and called upon the prosecutor, William Powell, of Raglan, who stated that on the 29th January he went on a plea sure excursion by the Golden Crown, steamer, and had in his possession £48 in gold and notes. One was a marked £5 note ; he changed a one-pound note on board. The prisoner was on board the steamer, and in troduced himself, and commenced a conver sation. On landing the prisoner took prosecutor's arm, and invited him to tea at Cromwell's, in Queen-street, where he fell asleep, and was left there in that condition by the prisoner. He missed his money the next morning. Mary Cromwell, wife of John Cromwell, confectioner, deposed that she remembered the prosecutor and prisoner coming to her house together. They were there about half-an-hour. When the prisoner left with the prosecutor (whom she afterwards found dosing) she believed the parties were partly intoxicated.

Detective Ternahan was examined, and stated that upon receiving information of the robbery l\e went to the house in Grey street of the prisoner Williams, and charged him with stealing £13 from the person of a man named Powell. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. He searched the prisoner, and found some silver upon him, which he said was the remainder of his week's wages. He took him into custody when he said, "If you will not lock me up I will give you a cheque for the money." He searched his place, and in the roof of the house he found an old stocking containing a match-box, in which he found several notes, among which was the marked five-pound note. The prisoner made a rambling statement to the jury ; and urged his previous good character upon their consideration. The jury, after a3 hort consultation, found the prisoner guilty. The Court sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment with hard labour for twelve calendar months. BURGLARY. Francis Falcon, sculptor, aged 49, and John Johnson, labourer, were arraigned on an indictment charged with forcibly enter in * the premises of Archibald Clark and Sons, of°Shoit]and-street, Auckland, on the night of the IStii of January, and stealing there from sundry blankets, towels, wearing apparel, brooches, and £2 4t in money. Mr Brookfield, on ttie part of the prosecu tion, stated the case. The prisoners pleaded not guilty, and were undefended. John Parker, packman at Messrs Clark and Sons, stated that on the 19th January upon leaving the premises he closed them safely. . , Robert Mason, assistant m the warehouse of Messrs Clark, on being sworn, depesed that on the day after the robbery had been committed he observed certain parcels dis arranged on the side nearest Messrs Winks and Hall; and on removing the parcels he saw some pieces of scantling against the wall., witbVimlet marks'in them corresponding with similar marks in the skirting work. George Henry Powley, assistant to Messrs Clark's^establishment, examined the goods which had been stolen, and deposed that the marks and brands on the goods were those of the firm, and some of them were made by himself. It was not the custom of the farm to remove such marks or brands from goods when sold so that they might come into the possession of any purchaser. [Left sitting.]
