and passion. God knows I never meant to! commit murder. I knew witnesses came ao-ainst me. I will say nothing about them. Tlie things said about me were not true. The cook said he heard me say if I had aa many dollars as times I had been in gaol I i should be a rich man. I never said so, but i I forgive him. I put it to those who are j standing here, would not a man have to be ; a many times in gaol to be fich that way ? ' I take God to witness I was never before a magistrate before. I have, got a deal more to "say, but I have told these gentlemen. There were fifteen altogether came ashore that night, and we got drunk. I never denied the deed, nor ran , away. I^jepented of it, and . never denied it. "But how as it is, the man died, and 1 die here, trusting in God to forgive my sins. May God bless these gentlemen here for the kindness they have shown me. I forgive Mr Donovan. He treated me very •cruelly. For nineteen days I was shut up in a, cell, and treated like a dog. He would not allow me any sunshine, and I was compelled to feel to eat my food. I was chained in handcuffs . [JV r Cornford here interrupted the wretched man, advising him to forgive all the injuries he had received.] After a pause the culprit continued : Well, I forgive him and may God bless him. God bless us all. Good-bye Mr Cornford. Don't forget to -write to my friend 3. May God have mercy upon me, Jesus have mercy upon me." The unhappy man during his address preserved in a most remarkable asanner his self-pos session, and uttered the words with great deliberation and distinctness —his emotion be.ing only shewn by the pauses he made at intervals, and a few deep-drawn breaths or easps as if his throat were parched. The two clergymen then retired, and the execu tioner advanced, and placing the criminal binder the beam adjusted the rope, and pulled a white cap over the face. The prisoner during this time continued ejaculating '' Lord have mercy upon me." When all was com plete the hangman retired to the back of the scaffold, and after what appeared a rather long pause, drew the bolt. The drop, how ever, did not fall, part of tho rope which was tied round the upright post in the centre catching the beam and preventing it tilting. The executioners endeavored to free the beam without success. Colonel Balneavis then advanced, md gave orders that the drop should be re-adjusted. This was done, the culDrit being removed from under the beam during &fe operatiwi. The secon d attempt" was successful. With a sharp aounatfie flaps of the drop gave way, and the body of the unfortunate man plunged sheer down full seven feet. Death was probably instanta neous, as a'fow muscular workings of theback •were the only movements observed after the fall. The bodjr, after hanging the usual time, an hour, was examined by Dr. Philson, and life pronormesd to be oxtinefc. The execu tioner, who had retired, hero returned and cut down the body, which was placed in a shell brought in for the purpose. During the time the body was suspended no one was allowed to leave the precincts of the prison. At 12 noon an inquest was held in the gaol before Dr. Goldsbro', coroner, and a jury on the body of deceased. After the tendering of the usual formal evidence a verdict was returned that the deceased, Joseph Eppright, died at the hands of justice. The body has aince been buried. With regard to ! the previous life and history' of Eppnght very lew facts have been gleaned. On the subject of his personal history he at first refused to afford any information whatever, but since his interviews with the two rev. gentlemen who have been most with him, he Ms somewhat relaxed his reserve and we have been able to collect the following incidents in his career. He was born at Philadelphia. He never knew who was his father, and his mother died when he was very young. There were seven of them altogether—five boys and two girls. His brothers and sisters he believed to be still in Philadelphia. When quite a young man he enlisted in a n-egiment of the Federalists, and went through tfche American war. Four years he continued a soldier, after which he took to the sea. At this time he made California his home, and sailed from San Francisco on several voyages, which were spread over a period of two years and a-half. On one of these voyages he was wrecked in the Arctic Ocean. He was in the Kainbow, as he stated on the scaffold, between five and six months.

[advertisement.] (To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) , Sir —I was not at the Orange demonstra- ' tion given at the Choral Hall dome time ago, ! but I read a report of the meeting in tho paper the following morning, and I have not discovered up to this time what good results are likely to follow from such a meeting. 1 have been told its object was to keep the Papists in check. But to me this is a puzzle. Why do we want to check Catholics ? Has it been discovered that they are plotting against their Protestant brethren of this \ country, or are they the only sinners in this country, and ought consequently to be stoned to death, or for what reason are we to band together to check or suppress Catholics ? It seemed to me that those rev. gentlemen who addressed the meeting were incensed against Catholics for believing in purgatory. They may go further and fare worse, and for their using the confessional. I hope they admit we are living in a free country, not an Orange country. But it seems to me those gentlemen who live by the Gospel did not j preach the language of|the Gospel on that night. I do not think, charitable men will think the better of them for their expressions on that occasion. I have in my possession a book which is published in England. It c the rules, office, and devotion of one of this Catholic Society's formed in that country. There are 328 pages in the book, and in the whole book (for I have read it through) I do not find one un charitable word towards .Protestantism or Orangeismj on the contrary, ,J& find such charitable prayers as the following among its contents :—" 0 Lord, God Almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible, Sovereign disposer of all events, look clown from Thy throne above upon us poor mortals, who on this day asssemble in holy association of prayer, to invoke Thee, for this our blessed country. Be pleased, 0 God, to accept all the masses, communions, prayers, and good works which are offered to Thee in divers places for this great and exalted object: re move from the people of this once sainted land all blindness and hardness of heart, all obstinacy, pride, presumption, and prejudice ; or whatever-else may tend to darken their understandings, or keep them from the light of true faith. Thou knoweet, 0 God, they have long walked in darkness ; like sheep without a shepherd, they have strayed from schism—a prey to false toachors ; arid by* following their own deluded imaginations, they have wandered far from Thee, tho 'only true God, and Jesus Christ, Thy Divine son. We, Thy servant, by Thy graoe preserved from tho general defection, acknowledge the justness of tho scourge that has so long been held over them; and we humbly implore Thy mercy for these our friends and fellow crea tures, thatfjThy wrath may be turned away, and they may be brought back, guided by a pillar of .light, to the one fold—the Holy Catholic Church : And we beg our blessed Virgiu Mother, and all tho Saints, to inter cede for them, through the adorable merits of our dear Redeemer, Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Father, and the Holy Ghost, ba all honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen." Now, sir, it seems to me there is more charity on the Catholic side than on that of Mr Corn ford. And now for one word of advice to those gentlemen who played such an uncharitable part at the^Choral Hall. Do not set brother against brother, nor friend against friend, for I have no hesitation in saying, if it were not for such leaders and disturbers, all difference between Orangeism and Catholicity would have been loug since forgotten. One cir cumstance which I remark in tho Gospel is, that no one, of all who present themselves to Jesus Christ, is rejected—all are relieved. This w*as that holy love, charity. Not only ought charity to be mild, afl'able, and com passionate, but likewise universal. —Yours, An Englishman.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomaa Beckham Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

Mary Carmichael, a dirty-looking woman with a black cyo, was charged with being drunk, and fined ton shillings. George Rol ton stated that he had not been drunk for ten months. He had five little children to support. . He came up from the Thames yes terday, took a few glasses which took effect upon him. He would never do so any more. He was dismissed. William Collins said he got tipsy yesterday, but it was owing to the wet weather. He went into a public house for shelter and had thirtoen glasses of brandy which knocked him over. Fined ss. and costs. LIZZIE KELSON. This fashionably-dressed lady was brought up again, charged with stealing crinolines, gloves, velvet, and a variety of other things, the property of Elizabeth Ificholson. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. RMr Broham conducted the prosecution, and Mr Joy appeared for the prisoner. Elizabeth Nicholson stated that she was a storekeeper in High-street, and that she took prisoner in for a few days, at the urgent request of a man who was a witness at tho Supreme Court. Witness lent most of the things to prisoner, but she did not bring them back. In answer to Mr Joy : She bought the cotton velvet at a sale in Queen-street, about a month ago. She did not wish prisoner to do wrong. There was a man in the house, certainly, and he is there still. She could swear that prisoner did not possess a velvet jacket She believed prisoner was a milliner and dress-maker, but she was not aware she had a large wardrobe. (The pieces of velvet were closely inspected by Mr Broham and Mr Joy, when Mr Broham felt positive that the pieces matched: Mr Joy was of an opposite opinidn, aa the shades were very different. These gentlemen, however, acknowledged candidly to the Court that they had not been in the drapery trade.) Martha Lindsay deposed that she saw Mrs Nicholson buy some velvet at the mart of Messrs Morton and Grant; and she was of opinion that the piece produced was a part of the same, but was not certain. Detective Ternahan stated that he arrested the prisoner on the 23rd inst., in Hobson street. She denied the charge, stating that she brought the jacket from Nelson; after wards she said she brought it from the Thames. ~

Mr Joy contended that there waa no case; the goods had not been really identified. The female jacket was the only matter of dispute. He would call a respectable per fumer to show that prisoner possessed the velvet jacket previous to lodging with the prosecutrix. ! " Patrick Andrew Jones, hair-cutter, deposed that he wa3 formerly in business in Coroman del, and now in this city, and knew the prisoner a dress-maker at Coromandel. He had inspected the velvet jacket, said to be stolen, and he believed it was the same jacket that prisoner had worn at the enter tainment for the benefit of the funds of the local hospital. She was an actress and took the part of "Portio" on the sbage. He had not always been a barber. He was formerly a clothier in Boston, United States, and new something of velvet. Saw prisoner before going to Coromandel, and she had no bundle with her. . > Cross-examined by Mr Broham : He knew the prisoner who had made a velvot jacket up six months ago. He belieYftd the ono pro duQ«4 to be the Bamo.

His Worship said there were certain dis crepancies ill the evidence which was not sufficient to convict the accused. But had she spoken tho truth about the matter she might not have been in Court to-day. He hoped the exposure would be a warning to her. She w?A then discharged. This was all the business.

City Council Election.

Tb.j?- city to-day has been in the heat of a contested election for the return of one duly qualified to serve the citizens at the Munici pal Board. The event has not caused any special flutter in the business parts of the town : trade.ha 3 proceeded undisturbed, and but for an occasional placarded cab ilytng through the streets, and a little knot of poli ticians in the vicinity of the polling-place, at the Mechanics' Institute, one would scarcely be aware that the serene and peace ful atmosphere of the city was being dis turbed by a politic?! battle of even the mildest character. The vacancy which gave rise to the necessity for an election was caused by the resignation of Mr J. Cosgrave, and the candidates who came for- ■ ward were only two in number, but a host in themselves, being no less distinguished burgesses than his Worship the Mayor and ex-Councillor Macready. The candidates were not profuse in mottoes, each ■pinning his faith and resting his chance of election upon one suntiinent. The Mayor, in his placards, besoeched the ratepayers to "Vote for P. A. Philips, who looks after city in terests." The banners of the opposition candidate bore the magic device, " Reduced Taxation." Some sympathy was expressed in favour of Mr Macready over his oppo nent on the ground that ho at pro sent is out in the cold, while the Mayor is enjoying the sweets of office, but as the tenure of mayoralty is of short duration and insecure, thoso who have appreciated Mr Philips's zeal and exertions in the interest of the city were anxious to secure for him a position of usefulness not subject to ths whim or caprice of councillors. Each can didate had his party active and compact, aud each had an opponent worthy of his metal. In the matter of cabs Mr Macready waß far. the moat conspieionjg, his colours; flj ing from many a two-horse conveyance. Tho other candidate's friends, however, were escorted to tho polling booth.' It, ii impossible even to hazard a conjecture regarding' the number of votes recorded for the respective candidates, as the election is taken by ballot, and the result will not be known until about an hour after the close of tho poll. Mr P. L. Prime officiated 88 Returning Officer. [\Vo will give the result of the poll in a second edition.]

(To the Editor of the Evening Stah

Sir, —By inserting in your issue this even ing the following extract from tho Thames Advertiser.* report of Mr Dargavillc's address to the electors at Grahamstow a, together with the correspondence between Mr Darga viJle and myself in connection therewith, you wiJl greatly" oblige,—Yours respectfully^ It. B. Lu.sk.

In his (Mr Williamson's) visits through tho country ho met a family struggling for existence in <lillioulty and obscurity. He saw in them qualities which ho thought, if developed, would be valuable, so ho took the family by tho hand. . To tho father he,gave a Huntion in his own oflice. TSy his influence with, the Genoral Government ho obtained an appointment for the eldest son By his inlluenco with the mercantile community ho obtained a footing for tho secondßon. The third, being of an acute turn of mind, entered the legal ■ profession., "While- John Williamson re mained in power and prosperity this family hung on his skirts, and basked in his favou j, but when ho ; was beaten, and lost his position as Superintendent, they wero tho first to turn round and unite with his slan derers. Gentlemen, tho name of that family is Link. —ll'rom Mr Dargaville'ii speech at Grahamstown, as reported in tho Thames Advertiser of July 21.] i

Parnell, 21th July, 1873. Sir,—l have read in the Thames Adccrtiacr of [21st instant a very full report of a speech addressed by you' on the 10th to a meeting of the electors at Grahams town, in which, in addition to atticisms on tho othor candidates for tho Supcrintendency, you have (to the great surprise of myself and numerous friends) made statements respecting me and two of my sons, al though none of. us are before tho public in connection with the contest in which you axe engaged, or in *any Way open to be referred to on such an occasion, ejven were the statemesls yon made correct. _. The state ments, howovcr, you have made respecting me and my family are so entirely, contrary, to facts, andjitn puto to us conduct so base, that my duty to myself and famMy renders it impossible to allow the matter to pass unnoticed. I have therefore to request that you wi'l, without delay, inform me on what authority you made the statements in, question. I am,j of course, aware that your residence in this province is of too recent a date to admit of your having any personal knowledge of the time in which some of the circum stances which you state might be supposed to' Wive occurred, and therefore I presume you have been mis led by some evil-disposed and untruthful person, who you might suppose to bo cognizant of the truth of the statement he made, and thereforo I have felt it ojily right, before doing anything else in the matter, to apply to you. As you cannot fail to see that it is a serious matter to have mado statements calculated to blacken tho character of three of your fellow citizens, who have not even given you the excuso of having taken part against you in the political contest' in. which you are engaged, or in any way sought ito injure you, I trust you will at once favour me with the name or names Of the persons on whose authority you made tho statement refei/ed to, and publicly apologiso for having allowed yourself to be tho medinm of bringing their false statements before the public.—l remain, sir, yours respectfully, (Signed) E. B. Lusk. J. M. Dargaville, Esq., Auckland.

Auckland. 26th July, 1873. K. B. Lusk, Esq.—Dear Sir,— When addressing tho electors of the Xhame3 recently; I gave expression;to ' certain • rumours with reference to the Lusk family which, have had currency with the public for some time past, and whichhad not therefore been challenged. I refer to the statements that many and great favours had been conferred upon yourself and your sons by Mr John Williamson, and that his kindness had been requited by ingratitude,. &c. Upon mal-ng m«re particular enquiry into the matter, however, I find that these statements are in all the mo3t material points v.lthout foundation in/act, and I now therefore unhesitatingly withdraw them, regretting that in re pelling the personal attacks made upon me by your son, Mr H. H. Lusk. and- in the heat and torrentjof my discourse, I should have aided in giving further currency to unfounded rumours painful to the feelings of yourself and two of yoiir sons who, I understand, sire taking no part against me in the present election. You are, of course, at liberty to make what use you think tit of this letter,—l myself shall scud a copy lof it to the Thames-papers.- I amc^yonrs. sincerely, s ~ J. M. DARGAVttLK.J t
