The prisoner pleaded not guilty. George Lee deposed that he was the owner of the boots, and that he missed them from his room on the 21st instant. William Roth, of Market-square, general dealer, proved that he purchased the boots from the accused, for which he gave her two shillings and threepence. Detective Ternahan proved taking the pri soner into custody. She denied the charge. She had been charged several times with drunkenness.

Mrs Ryan, who had a settled love of f whiskey, and could not live without a 'drap," said that she sold the boots for a woman whom she did not know. His Worship commented upon the ill effects of drunkenness, which frequently led to thieving. She was clearly guilty of steal ing the boots, and must go to prison for 30 days.

Robert Alexander's dog.

This case, which had been remanded from day to day, was brought to a conclusion this morning. i

The reputed owner still persisted that he ■was not the owner of the dog, although his wife had affirmed by mistake that he was.

His Worship considered that no evidence had been adduced to show that the dog belonged •to other than the accused. The natural instinct and sagacity were -also against him. The dog" had recognised his home and his bed ; dogs were always faith ful. Still, although the Court could not exonerate him entirely, it would only fine him Is and costs. ASSAULT ■Tames Ingham, on remand, appeared in an swer to a charge of assaulting Ellen Brown, This case was partly heard on Tuesday, when Dr Baynton's evidence was taken as to the result of the attack. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the proscu tion, and Mr Cornford for the defence. Ellen Bassett, on being sworn, deposed that on Saturday evening last her little girl came running to her and told her that the prisoner was beating Mrs Brown. She immediately went, when the prisoner threatened to summon her. She was afraid of him. She saw him throw Mrs Brown down and kneel upon her. In answer to Mr Cornford he threatened her with a summons. He did not threaten to ill-treat her. She kept out of his way.

Margaret Clune deposed that she was a neighbour of the parties ; and on the day in question she heard a row, and upon looking out she saw the prisoner and Mrs Brown struggling at the door. He was holding her by the hair of her head, and she had hold of him by the shirt. He struck Mrs Brown on the breast, and when she fell he put his knee on her and struck her. Mr Cornford spoke in prisoners defence for the space of a half-an-hour, at the close of which the coiinter charge was brought for ward, and

Ellen Brown was charged with assaulting Ingham with a poker, and with tearing his shirt.

|£ James Ingham was .then examined, and, to the amusement of the Court, produced the tattered shirt, and deposed that Mrs Brown struck him on the arm and scratched his face. He did not knock her down, but laid her down gently. When she got up from the ground she ran about like a raging bull, while he went for a policeman. She bit his arm and snapped at his ear. In answer to Mr Russel: He did not get angry ; tie was a mild man. He declined to answer whether or not he had ever been in prison. He was always a quiet man; he was terribly attacked by the woman, who had got some mad Maori blood in her. The poker was a formidable one [produced], gf Katherine Ingham, the wife of J. Ingham, remembered Friday last, when there was a row between her husband and Mrs Brown. He went to see Mrs Brown about a complaint made respecting the children, when in great •wrath she rushed after her husband with the poker, and tore all the buttons off his shirt. He gave her a twist, and threw her down. She clutched her husband's shirt with a firm grasp, until a man named Kelly came up, when she relaxed her hold.

In answer to Mr Russell: She saw Mrs Brown biting her husband, but. indeed she ■was not jealous. She must own that her husband was a very passionate man. Peter Kelly deposed that he went horn c to dinner on the day in question; and on passing Mrs Brown's house he heard the row, which was about Ingham's children, and saw the woman beating the man with both hands. They were both very much excited. Mr Russell having addressed the Court, showing that Ingham was clearly the aggres sor. His | Worship said Ingham must pay a fine of 40s and costs and fined two securities in £20 each for-his good behavonr for three months, or go to prison for fourteen hays with hard labour.

Arrival of Piako Natives at Cambridge.

Horses at the Front

This clay, 10.20 a.m.

Major Clare and twenty-five Constabulary made their first advance this morning, leaving at eight o'clock, for P^otorangi, to construct a .redoubt, which, it is expected, will be completed in a week. The site- of the redoubt is generally known as the "Island in the Swamp," and is situated about six miles from Cambridge by road, at the junction of all the Maori tracks and roads. It commands a fine position. A message has been received by the Ngatiraukawa from Capt. Gilbert Mair, asking to be allowed to occupy Te Waotu with a native contingent of Arawas.

Twenty of the Constabulary here are to be mounted.

12.10 p.m. A party of natives from the Piako, headed by the Chief Tarapippi, has just arrived in order to meet Mr Mackay, who is expected hourly from Alexandra. Their mission has reference to the Piako and Matamata natives.

McDougall and two of the native contin gent have just arrived from Poverty Bay via Napier and Taupo, bringing 40 horses, which will probably be sold here to the Govern ment. They were much wanted. The party were ten days on the journey from Napier, in consequence of their not taking the main road.

1.20 p.m. Mr Mackay has left Alexandra and will reach here about three o'clock. The settlers here are much pleased with the articles in the Star and Herald.

Sullivan's Heart still Hanging on a Tree.

Capt. Leslie Gone to Fetch it.

ALEXANDRA,

This day,

Sophia's husband interviewed Mr Mackay yesterday, and said Sullivan's heart was still hanging on a tree, also his hat and vest. He wanted to know why Mr Mackay did not send for it.

Capt. Leslie volunteered to go for the heart this morning.

Yesterday, 9 p.m. Mr Mackay, with Rewi's messengers, has just arrived from Cambridge. Rewi pleads for extension of time. Mackay'a assailant is in custody at Kuiti. Purukutu is at Wharepapa, on his way to Kuiti.

We have received from Wellington the substance of Eewi's communication to Mr Mackay, referred to above. The telegram is as follows :—

Mack ay telegraphs to the Native Minister that the letter received from Rewi was in tended as the reply from the King, and did not represent Rewi's ideas.

At the recent meeting at Te Kuiti, Rewi urged the Waikatos to give up the murderers, and, on their refusing, he distinctly and pub licly stated that he would take no part in any fighting arising out of murder. If the Waikatos had said, " let us fight for the land," he would have fought, but now he would have nothing to do with it; that he would stand aside and plant wheat at Kopua, which is close upon the confiscated boun dary. Rewi has sent eighty people to Kopua, and was to follow in a day or two.

Rewi has written to the Native Minister disavowing complicity in the murder, and intimating his intention to remain quiet.'

Carried unanimously,

There were about eighty persons present. Loud calls were made for Mr Sheehan, who made a long and interesting speech. He said war was to be avoided if possible ; but if entered on it should be sharp and sudden. He believed the Government might take the murderers without hindrance if they tried. War, however, was better for the country than a protracted reign of terror in the Waikato settlements. He made a most damaging exposure of the Native Office. The delinquents were the Govern ment. By badly-done work in the Native Lands Office, the disturbance had been brought about; by giving Purukutu a taki for the course he had taken.
