CRIMINAL SESSIONS

(Before Hi 3 Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice,) The October Criminal Sessions were begun this morning it the Supreme Court before his Honor Sir George A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice. ' The following members of the Grand Jury, after answering to their names, were duly sworn and took their places :—John Gordon, S. Kempthorne, H. Ellis, Gustav Yon der Hyde, C, Hunter Mclntosh, W. Crush Daldy, J. AVallace, C. Eoscport J Howard, E. M. D. Wynyard, J. P. de Moulin, W. J. Taylor, J. T. Boylan, J L Campbell, A. Martin, A. Wallace, J. H. E. Harrison, G. Crummer, G. M. Mitford, J. Baber, F. F. St George, A. Board man, J. B. Owen, T. H. Ivey. Mr Albyn Martin was chosen foreman. CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY. Silence being proclaimed the Chief Justice addressed the Grand Jury nearly as follows : Gsntlemen of the Grand Jury, I have to congratulate* you on the fact that there ii a considerable diminution in the number of prisoners to be charged, comparing this with other sessions. I do not say the calendar is light as regards the weight of crime, for there is an unusual number of charges of murder and manslaughter. These are for the most part lamentable ex amples of the effect upon some people of too much money and too little work. Having both time and money to waste these people use both to their ruin by drink. One case of this nature is the moat remarkable I have ever known brought into a court of justice. The subject generally haa received the atten tion of the Legislature and the Press, and has been freely discussed by all intelligent people. I will not detain you with general remarks, but will confine myself to a faw remarks on the more prominent cases which will be brought before you. They involve nearly all of them more questions of faat, and are such as you yourselves will be quite capable of entertaining. There is only one case in which I think it will be necessary for the Grand Jury to seek the direction of the Court, and in that I shall be happy to give all the assistance in my power. The first case which I will notice i 3 the charge of larceny as a bailee against a man named Beaton. The prisoner was in command of a vessel, and received goods for conveyance to a certain destination. Instead of taking them there he takes them, I think, to the Fijis where he dis poses of them. Some questions of law may pos sibly arise, but the case turns mainly upon the ordinary question whether the prisoner did not receive the goods as a carrier and apply them to his own uses. There are two cases of manslaughter and one of murder. One of these is a singular instance ot that too much money and too little work, which I have spoken of. Two women are charged with having caused the death of an infant by causing it to be overlaid. Of course we know it is the duty of a mother to take proper care of her chil dren, and in cases where death is the result of palpable and gross neglect the application of the law is very simple. Such acts as leaving a child exposed in the cold, or refus ing to give it suck, are instances of direct and criminal neglect. But this case is altogether different. [His Honor here detailed the hideous circumstances connected with the case, with which our readers are already familiar.] The death of the child is ascribed to one of two causes. Either it was smothered by the boy's arm being thrown over its mouth, or else it was overlaid by the mother while asleep. Such an unconscious act on the part of the mother could not be considered criminal, and so with the boy. The question will be do the attendant cir cumstances shew culpable neglect, such as may, be deemed conducive to the child's death. The mother was drunk at the time, but that is in itself no evidence of guilt. Thei-e may be some difficulty in connecting the circumstances in such a manner as to warrant the Grand Jury in returning a true bill in this case. It is, as I have said, a lamentable instance of too much money and too little work. Whether or no the neglect was criminal, the child is dead, and drink has a prominent share in the sad story. Another manslaughter case is that of a husband causing the death of his wife by violence, producing a miscarriage, and so death. Here again we must enquire if death is to be attributed to the acts of the husband, or to natural causes, anxiety on the part of the mother, and heedlfessness of proper pre cautions in her state. This is again a mere question of fact. I would say that it ap pears too clearly that her husband's drunken ness caused the woman to lead a life of great distress, and acts of gross violence will be adduced which were committed by the hus band shortly before the miscarriage which preceded death. It will be also shown that there was some carelessness on the part of the woman in attending to directions she received from the doctor. The knot here will be whether death is to be ascribed to the woman's own carelessness or to her husband's violence. Another case in which the verdict of the coroner's jury was manslaughter, but which now appears as a charge of murder, had for its scene the banks of the Waikato river. It appears that the man who is accused of the crime fol lowed deceased and provoked a fight, in the course of which the prisoner inflicted a severe stab upon him which caused death. There is some difference in the words said to have been used by accused as to his seeking the conflict for the purpose of giving the wound. All violence causing death is murder until circumstances reduce it to manslaughter. It will be for you to judge by the evidence which, if either, this is. A fifth case is one of t gross violence committed in the very horrors of drink, and the scene it unfolds reveals a manner of life which is usually only attributed to the natives of this colony. His Honor after reverting to the case of the man Heaton and wife, who were committed only on Friday last for the assault at Kaihu Creek, continued: There is one case in which 1 will lay down a few points of law. This is the case of a member of the medical profession for administering certain drugs to a girl for the purpose of procuring abortion. The charge will, I presume, be laid under the 55th sec tion of Offences against the Persons Act, 1857, which makes it felony for any one to administer any noxious thing with the intent to procure abortion, i believe it will be shown, but the point is immaterial, that the girl was with child. The question to be considered is— did the doctor administer such noxious thing ? It is not necessary that he should administer it with the hand. It is sufficient if he gave it any way, or supplied it for the | purpose of hor taking it. The next question j is, was the thing administered a "noxious -1 thing ?" If it so strong as to cause a mis- * carriage, it must be noxious. You will see i the girl and her mother, and you : will hear from them the evidence as ' ■ (Jo whether the drug was administered ; \ iy the prisoner. It is not absolutely neces- s ..'■Utry for it to be poison that was adminis tered. In that case the charge would be of • Administering with intent to murder. If any medicine is strong enough to break down those strong barriers provided by nature in the female organisation for the pro t fiction of the infant during gestation it will ,

| be seen that the shock it inflict 3in the j system must be very great. The ques tion is did the prisoner administer the i drug, and was it with the intention to procure a miscarriage. These are all the j points upon which it will be necessary for 1 me to speak. You will now please to retire i 'to your room and give your attention to the cases submitted to you. At 11.35 the Grand Jury retired to their room, and at ten minutes to twelve returned into Court with a true bill against James Miller for larceny. Five minutes afterwards they again returned with true bills against the same prisoner for stealing from cutters in the harbour. BREAKING AND ENTEKING. Jamea Miller, aged 34, described as a labourer, a native of Victoria, was charged with breaking, entering, and stealing from the cutter Diamond certain articles of food ; also, with committing a similar offence on board the cutter Watchman; also, with breaking and entering the shop of Rhodes and Co., Durham-street, Auckland, and stealing therefrom a hammer and several pairs of boots and shoes. The prisoner pleaded guilty to these charges. " A list of numerous convictions was also read over to the prisoner, to which he assented. His Honor commented upon the various offences against the prisoner. He had on a previous occasion been sentenced to four years' penal servitude It was to be lamented that the colony should be put to the expense of supporting a man who evidently preferred a dishonourable life to a life of honest labour. The sentence of the Court upon him would be that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of three years. TIIUE BILLS. The Grand Jury found true bills against William Patten, forgery and uttering; and William Summens and Thomas William Barry, stealing from a dwelling ; and John Parsons, surgeon, of the Bay of Islands ; Charles Phillips, forgery ; Wm. Kinnison, Manslaughter; Win. and Catherine Heaton, manslaughter. xo bill, No true bill being found against Ellen Scudder and Elizabeth Kelly on a charge of manslaughter the prisoners were brought up and discharged. FORGING- AND UTTERING. Wm. Patten was arraigned upon an indict ment charging him with forging and uttering certain orders, with intent to defraud Geo. Cruickshank and John Snodgrass, the par ticulars of which appeared in our issue of Saturday last. Mr Brookfield prosecuted. Prisoner pleaded guilty to the charges, and upon being asked why the judgment of the Court should not be passed upon him, said that the offences were committed while under the influence of drink. He hoped the Court would deal leniently with him. His Honor, in remarking upon the nature of the crimes, said that he believed from evidence that prisoner knew perfectly well what he was about at the time of committing the forgaries, and even if he had been under the influence drink drunkenness could not be accepted as an excuse for such offences. The sentence upon him would be three years' penal servitude. STEALING FROM A DWELLING. William Summers, a young man of re spectable appearance, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with stealing a gun, the property of Mr McGregor Hay, of Hamilton. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Constable McGovern spoke in favour of prisoner's character. He had known him as a hard-working honest man for three years past. His only failing, it appeared, was a love of drink. The Court sentenced the prisoner to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. LARCENY BY BATLEB. Jacob Eckborn, a native of St. Petersburg, aged 3S, described as a steward, late of the Rainbow, whaler, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with appropriating to his own use on the sth day July last, a watch And chain, the property of Isabella Donald; of Russell, Bay of Islands. Prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Mr Brookfield, on tha part of the Crown, stated the ca3e, and shewed that prisoner, who was a witness in the Bay of Islands murder, was entrusted by Miss Donald with a watch and chain to get repaired for her in Auckland, instead of which he pledged the articles for £2, and made use of the money. Isabella Donald deposed that she was a single woman residing at Russell, and that she handed a watch, chain, and brooch to prisoner, who promised to pet them repaired during his absence on Epwright's trial, also that he would bring the articles back with him on his return. He had never done so. She never authorised him to pawn the things. Benjamin Levy, pawnbroker's assistant, on being sworn, deposed that prisoner pledged the watch at the shop of his em ployers in Auckland at the time stated for £2. Prisoner stated that he bought the watch in America. The watch produced was' that watch.

Mark Simpson, tailor, of Wyndham-street, deposed that prisoner came to him on the 14th July, and asked for a loan of money, when he informed prisoner that he had no money to lend. Prisoner replied that he was hard up, and had been obliged to pawn his watch, for which he* had given £13. He offered witness the ticket^ He gave 5s for it, and redeemed the watch. Robert Ternahan, detective officer, de posed that he arrested the prisoner on the charge. Prisoner said that he had no witnesses to call on his behalf, nor had he any address to make to the jury. His Honor referred to the character of the crime, and said the business which had brought him to Auckland should rather have caused serious thought than led him to the commission of a dishonest action.

The Court would sentence him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.
