The first indi cation he had of it was seeing bloody clothes hanging out. He asked Mrs Heaton what was the matter, and she said Scotty had got hurt the day before. Asked her bow it was, and she replied shedid not know. Sometime during the day the prisoners came into his hut and conversed about the affair, when ho heard Mrs Heaton say, "It's no use saying any more about it, yon know very well you did it." Before this, witness said "If Watson has been so much hurt it's sure to be found out sooner or later." He was on intimate terms with Watson. He was coming that day to. live with him.

By the prisoner : A week previous to thfi Watson went up the creek--further on—fcr the purpose of living near prisoner's wife, so that she might cook for him. On Thursday, tho 4th September, he re collected askingprisoner's wife tor a sovereign. She refused at first, but afterwards lent it to him. With that Watson and himself went to the Kaihu store, and came back that evening with six bottles of grog. When Mrs Heaton gave him the sovereign he only saw that one, and no more. He did not see Watson give a watch to Mrs Heaton. Did not hear prisoner say that he (witness) had assaulted his wife when drunk and robbed her of three sovereigns.

Some other questions were asked by the prisoner of the witness, but they only bore a very slight relation to the assault. Jno. Wmf Henry was the next witness called. He was a firewood contractor, and remembered seeing Watson on the Gth September in a boat, going up the creek. He got into the boat and went with him and they both landed at the store. They had both been drinkinc* but were not drunk. Heaton's wife came out to meet the. She had only her chemise and drawers on. The drawers were wet. She asked witness to take her husband into custody for attempting to drown her by pushing her into the creek. Heaton was then sitting in his tent. He asked for some brandy, and Wat son gave him some. Watson then came out of thejtent, and so did Fraiser. The latter was very drunk. They went into Frazer's tent. Mrs Heaton then came out and asked Watson for three sovereigns he owed her. Scotty said he had no three sovereigns, and she use very bad language to him, and threatened to " knock it out of him." They were all drunk.

By the prisoner : Watson was in the' boat when he first saw him. There were only four of them at the whare.

Alfred Coldrey, a woodcutter, George de Blagrove, firewood contractor, and William A. Marriner, storekeeper, all deposed to hearing the male prisoner throaten to take Watson's life.

Detective Jeffrey gave formal evidence of the prisoner's arrest.

This competed the case, and the evidence having been read over James and Catherine Heaton were fully committed to take their trial at the coming Criminal Sessions.

(FEOM OITR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON

This day., I have obtained further particulars of tho Ngakawau scandal. The principal alterations made by Mr Beetham are the following : —ln the evidence as given to the House he stated : "The Albion Company have already spent £10,000 on that river in clearing it, and on pontoons and other necelsary apparatus." This he elided, and inserted the following : " The proprietors who are now represented by the Albion Company have spent £IGOO, and the expenditure is still being con tinued."

in another place the statement, "have already spent £10,000," is again elided. The other alterations refer to the depth of the river, other companies using the river, &c. On cross-examination Mr Beetham ad mitted that no other companies existed, arid that nothing whatever had been spent by the Albion Company" on the river at the date of giving evidence. This was confirmed by a telegram from the Mayor of Westport. The occurrence has caused profound sens ation in the House. The evidence will all be printed. THE EDUCATION BILL DISCHARGED. In the House, last evening, after repeated messages to and fro, and various free (con ferences,, on the Education Bill, the House disagreed with the amendment of the Council, which removed tho clause providing higßcla.s schools. Oh the motion of Mr Vogel the Education Bill was discharged. - ',■•'-' HONOP-ARIUM TO MEMBERS. ' A lengthened discussion occurred on the honorarium, in which more earnestness was shown than, on the Provincial Loan Bills. The Speaker complained that he had been sold by the members, who had got advances * and then went off home. He submitted his pitiful case to .-the House, »whp bade him make the absentees stump up. The Speaker hoped the discussion would not be reported in Hansard. Several members expressed a similar hope. Mr Stafford indignantly protested. He asked what was the use of Mansard if the House could suppress debates. They should say nothing of which they were ashamed. The House adjourned at half-past five till half-past, eleven to-day. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. '' In the Council nothing of importance was done save the messages to and fro respecting the Education Bill. The Council adjourned till to-day for pro rogation at noon. THE PROROGATION,. Parliament was prorogued to-day at twelve o'clock. The weather for once was beautiful. A guard of honor was furnished to his Excel lency by the volunteer artillery, and the veteran corps, who paraded in' front of the Parliamentary buildings. The galleries were crowded in every part,, thej Wellington beauty predominating over the chivalry. On the members of the. Lower House being summoned into the presence of his Excellency, Sir James delivered the following speech :— Honourable Legislative Councillors and Members of the House ov BePRESEN TA'J.'I YES, — In releasing you from further attendance I have to thank you for the manner in which you have devoted yourselves to the discharge of your onerous duties. Although of short duration the labours of the session have been more than usually important. I trust that the Act you have passed autho rising arrangements to be made for a tele graph cable will lead to the establishment of communication between New Zealand and the rest of the world. Although during the first few years the undertaking may in volve some loss, the advantages which will accrue to thp colony from telegraphic com munication wity oilier countries will justify

a pecuniary sacrifice. The provision which you have made for the purchase at the cost of the colony of a landed estate for the provinces of the North Island evincesSyoiir desire to preserve the Unity of the colony, and is a step which, while it will place the North Island in a position to contribute more largely to the revenue, is calculated to advance New Zealand to the first rank lof British colonies. The Native Lands Act meets a great want. It will enable the na : tives, at a less cost thru hitherto, to have I their lands surveyed, and their1 rights more clearly and equitably defined and recorded. jßy the Life Aashrance Act you will afford j protection to those who fcr the "purpose of providing for their fam'lies have recourse to Assurance associations. Such security can only be of a partial nature, but. it -will .be gratifying to you that you have done all you can to give to .Assurance associations the opportunity of placing themselves in a position to command pub'e confidence. The Act by which you will, have constituted Westland a province will place that part of the colony in the condition which it was intended by the Constitution Act all parts should occupy, -"id it will be satisfactory to the people of Westland to be no longer excluded from the ordinary form of Government.

Gentlemen oe Tint House of Represent TATIVKS, — I gratefully acknowledge the disposition which you have shown to make efficient provision for meeting the various charges of the public service. Consideringtheimportaiice of maintaining a large and constant supply of immigrants, I thank you for the liberal pro vision you have made for the purpose, in cluding as it does not only a vote of money but also an Act under which immigrants who are approved of by the Agent-General, and who pay their own passages, will be assured of obtaining free grants of land conditional only upon occupation and cultivation.

HoNol:A_!l___ LEt.ISLATIVE Co UN CI ..LOUS anu Members of tiik House op Representatives,—,.„

I am glad that the mission of Mr Russell to England-has secured to.this colon y, in co operation with Now {South Wales, the re establishment of the mail packet service via California. '.

I regret that the measure to place upon a more satisfactory footing the laws relating to the Civil Service, and the measure to regulate for the future the mode of proceeding with the .necessary Public Works in the various provinces, have not become law. I anticipate favourable results to the com merce and manufactures of the country from the amended Tariff Act, which will for the future more fairly regulate tho incidence of the Customs duties. The further provision you have made for cairying out the public works of the colony, the authority you have given to extend the various portions of railway hitherto autho rised into trunk lines throughout the two islands, evidence your determination to give effect to tho public works policy. The cheap railways which are being con structed through each island will powerfully stimulate the settlement of the country, it gives mo pleasure to observe the continued prosperity of the colony, and I express the hope that under the blessing of divine provi dence your labours will greatly aid the social and material advancement of New Zealand.

ZEALANDIANIA. (To the Editor of the Eveniko Star.) Sir, —It it commonly understood that our New Zealand Parliamentary session ceases to-day. I rather reckon its marvellous anfractuosify laughable — almost. " Thoy say" that "our province," nay, our Superin tendent, will lie here again to-morrow. Query.—Will he now confront as candidate the popular Dargavi'le, with his recent singular, separate, decisive, public votes of confidence ?—I am, &c, W.E.S.

WELLINGTON DIOCESAN SYNOD.

A MAORI BANQUET.

(From Our Special Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON.

This day. The Diocesan Synod, which has boon hold ing its session several days, closed yesterday. A great Maori banquet was given last night at Donucker'a Hotel, by Mr Kenata, of Napier, to all the Maori chiefs now in the city. About*4o natives, principally chiefs, were present. . , ■ Mr Sheehan was in the chair, the vice chairs being occupied by Messrs Karaitiana and Henate Matua.

The only Europeans present were Messrs Sheehan, Bunny, Inglis, Kelly, M.G.A-; and Messrs Lundon, Willson, and G. M. Reed. ......

Apologies were read from Messrs Stafford, Fitzherbert, and others.

The banquet was very sumptuous, and the speeches of the chiefs, exceedingly denuncia tory of the native legislation of the session. . Unquestionably great dissatisfaction has been caused by Mr McLean's latest develop ment of Maori policy. The speeches were interspersed with Maori chants of a melancholy cast.

The festivities were kept up till a late hour.

Shuttleworth, claim £1 19s, balance of account for re moving coals ; Thomas McMaster v. Henry J. Ellis, claim £3 10s lid, goods; Peter Clark v. Patrick A. Jones, claim £7 3s Bd, with interest.

ADJOURNED CASES.

S. Morgan v. G. Bright, claim £13 4a., rent; W. C. Wilson v. B. C. Beale, claim £3 35., subscription j A. Dora well v, E, D,

Lawrence, claim £2 lis., goods; Morton Jones v. Valentine Blagrove, claim £17 19s. 2d, goods.

J.VMKS PAICE V THOMAS "LUFTON

Mr Joy forplainiiff; Mr Laishley for de fendant.

In this case the claim was for the sum of £3 3s.

Defendant claimed a set off.

James Paice stated that he was plaintiff in this case, and. that defendant was indebted to him for two loads of wheaten straw, which were sold to him in June, 1872. He also had a quantity of meadow hay, which plaintiff weighed out to defendant's wagon, for Mr Paice's address, as they said they wanted some money of him. He had been chirged with assaulting plaintiff. Mr Laishley objected, as the assault had nothing to do with the present case.

Mr •! oy said it was of great importance, or this case would not have been in Court to day.

To Mr Laishley : He could not swear that the straw went to defendant's premises, but he thought there could be doubt about it, as defendant told witness he was well satisfied with it, and would like some more of the same sort: ■ .

To his Worship : He could not say posi tively whether it was defendant's wagon that took the straw. His memory was bad. Charles Paice, son of the preceding witness, stated that he remembered the circumstance well, and that he himself delivered one load at the defendant's stable, and MrLupton ac knowledged to him that he had received both load. Thos. Lupton deposed that he received 4J| cwt. of straw from Clips. Paice, which was all tint he received, lie denied having had the straw which was supposed to constitute the present claim. The straw that he ack nowledged receiving was in 1871. He was never asked by Bell Brothers where he bought that splendid straw. They enquired Witness proceeded to say that three weeks ago plaintiff gave him a bill in Freeman's Bay, when he denied being indebted.

John Lupton w;>s examined and remem bered indistinctly about some hay and straw, but could'--not say in what year it was brought to his."brother's stables.

Mr Laishley then went over the evidence, and contended that i. was very uncertain as to whether there was any straw sold to <;e- ---feudant in 187—, and the case must there fore fall through. Two loads had been de livered, but it was not the straw sued for.

Mr Joy addressed the (Joint for plaintiff.

His Worship considered that the evidence of plaintiff's son and that of defendant him self showed clearly that hay and straw had been had, although perhaps a mistake as to the year had been made.

Judgment for plaintiff

ALFRED MO.S.S V JAS MCKENZIE

Claim £20. Mr MeKechnie for pjuintiff, and Mr Wes tou for defendant.

The plaintiff in this case claimed for wages from defendant, who was faster "of" the schooner Herald, over and beyond bis usual salary, .for the performance of extra duties from Lyttelton to Auckland. He was articled as tiist mate at £7 a month, but had taken entire command.

Mr. Weston, on the part of defendant, denied the claim.

His Worship suggested that plaintiff and defendant should make mutual concessions and arrange the matter.

Settled out of Court. This was all the business

WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PENNAL has much pleasure in in troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful I i Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported : I 1 princess of wales. ' ! This admirable Machine is the moat perfect Lock- | ' Stitch Midline yet invented. It is so simple that the j most inexperienced can operate it without any i previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is | practically unlimited : anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of needle or , cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily j guided by one hand, while the other is employed in I ' turning it. When lixed on a stand it can be operated I by hand or foot at pleasure, and it ia then as etticient as .the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds I of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGL iND'S QUEEN. I This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and I more varied in its application than any other Sewing ! machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pi .in sewing of every kind it exactly resembles the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to oveiseaining. This is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the overseaming or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and will be found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. IJ _6mis;where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to-.every existing Machine. It Is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with'the most perfect .simplicity of construe- I tion. , j it^Note the addiess :-MTSS PENNAL, Dress I Mantle-maker, and Machinist, Wbst Hsu Houue Wakkftixd street.
