He was told that he was to be taken to see a lady, but he would not go. Mr Bennett commended complainant discretion as the result of a wise thought. Complainant knew what he was about ; he was not' the aggressor, nor did he dr.-w his knife until he was attacked and struck by one of the prisoners on the head. He had the bump still. He was not considered a coward, and was not afraid of the

prisoners. Mr William Norton deposed that he witnessed the encounter between the parties in Victoria-street. He heard the man with the "blue tie," merging prosecutor, say, you've got the wrong man, my boys, and he struggled to get away. He heard a blow struck by one of the prisoners, and saw Ash bury stagger. He went towards them, when they shouted " Police." Presecutor was then walking backwards, facing the prisoners with an open knife in his hand. When the constable came up Ashbury gave up the knife quietly. He d^d not thuik he intended to use it.

Mr Bennett addressed the Court in pri soner's defence.

His Worship said that unfortunately for the prisoner Harrington ho bore but a very indifferent character. He had been in prison before, and he thought there was more be neath the surface of the ca_e than had ap peared in evidence. It was a fortunate matter that Mr Norton came up at the very time or the case might have assumed a very different aspect. The conduct of the prose cutor in drawing a knife was strongly to be deprecated, a3 recent facts plainly proved. He could not help regard ;ng this as a most serious case and, looking at the circum-

stances, he considered he should be wanting in his duty if ho did not send the prisoner to gaol. The Court would therefore sen tence them both to be imprisoned for one calendar month, with hard labour, in the common gaol of Auckland.

This was all the business

• MURDER. Murder !—A most brutal and cold blooded murder was committed at the North Shore late on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning. A person walking along er.rly on Sunday morning saw the victim of this awful ciime hanging outside the house by its legs, and the head nearly severed from its body. On enquiry at the house it was found to be the act of The mistress of the house, whoLe husband, through the recom mendation of a friend, had nought one ; of H. H. Smith's portable oven 3, and his wife, in her great joy, had killed the best fowl she had in the yard to show her love to. her husband for the precious gift, hi the friend who persuaded her husband to buy it has had one in use over three years, and has found the great benefits derived from itsuSe, which, he asserts, are not to be found in any other oven. It is portable, cleanly, con venient, and economical, and although she has had it in use over three years it is nearly as good as new, and is likely to wear treble that time, and only costs £2 2s, and has repaid itself a dozen times over by the small amount of fuel it requires.—A:ovr.
