SUPREME COURT.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

Yesterday,— Cvntinved. (Before His Honor Kir (I. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.) SENTENCE n.N DH I'AUSONH. The jury retired to consider their verdict at five o'clock, and in tea minutes returned, ■when his Honor said that he had omitted to state to them the fact that the prisoner's name was not on the medical list of the col ony, which should be considered previously to coming to a decision in reference to the prisoner's guilt or innocence. The jury then retired for luilf-au-hour, and rufcmuud with a vevdict of Guilty. The prisoner on being asked why the sen tence of the Court should not be paused upon him replied, in ;t feeble voice scarcely aiulible, that, he hoped the Court would take into consideration the time he had already been in prison, and that he had a wife and young family "His Honor said: "Prisoner, the Court can take but little cognizance of the time you have been in prison in comparison with the serious crime of which you have : been convicted. Yours isnot like the case of a reckless young man getting a girl, per haps of light character, pregnant, and who seeks to get out of his difficulty by unlaw ful means; but the case of a medical man upon whoaa skill and treatment the lives of ao many of Her Majesty's subjects depend, and who avails himself of the confidence reposed in him by parents, and by insidious means effects the ruin of a child, and who by administering noxious medicines runs the fearful risk of. taking her life. I will, how ever, pass the lightest sentence of the law upon you, which is that you be kept in penal servitude for the term of four years.

The Court then adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock

TRUE BILLS

The Grand Jury found true bills in each case against Neil Beaton on the several charges of larceny by baillee.

The foreman asked the Court in the name of the jury if a member of the Grand Jury could take the liberty of reporting private proceedings in a public newspaper, as one jurymen had done in the. Daily Southern Cross newspaper, and especially as that re port was a misrepresentation of facts and grossly false. His Honor replied that the jury was bound to secrecy, and such a report was highly im proper and unwise, and could not be per mitted.

THE KAIIIU ASSAULT OAST

James Heaton and Catherine Heaton, his wife, were arraigned upon indictments charg ing them with violently assaulting James Watson at Kaihu Creek, on the Gth day of September of the present year. Prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. Mr Brookrield opened thecaae, and minutely described the particulars of the assault.

Prisoners were undefended. The first witness was the prosecutor, James "Watson, whose head was bandaged, and who was accommodated with a chair. He deposed tliat he was a gardener by calling, that the prisoners kept a store near Kaihu creek, and that he lived in a whare close by, near to a whare occupied by a witness named Eraser. There were no other whares near. He went about ten o'clock to Fraser's shanty. He had a bottle of brandy, which was opened by a man named Honry. They had drinks all round. Though somewhat jfche worse he 3kne\v perfectly well what he was about—he "was in possession of his senses. Mrs Heaton then came in and asked him about some money, £'i, to which he replied that he knew nothing about the money. Fraser, who had got drunk, then laid down and went to sleep. He then went to Heaton's, and had not been there many minutes when he was struck a terrible blow by some one behind him, which laid him insensible. When lie came round sufficiently he asked who had done it, when the female prisoner told him that Fraser had done it. He replied that he did not believe it; lYaser was too drunk for that. Cross-examined by the male prisoner : He "was sitting down when he received a. blow. Eraser's whare was on the right. Fraser was not in prisoner's tent; he slept ill a bed that night. He was persuaded to go home, and take no more drink. He had taken several nobblers of brandy-and-water on the morning of the (Ith. He had not been drunk daily at the stores for four weeks previously. He had not told Fraser that he did not wish the case to be proceeded with. He had always been on friendly terms with prisoners. Mrs Heaton attended to him after he was wounded to the utmost of her power. On the Friday previously he and Frazer brought up six bottles of rum, and they all drank to excess. He did not remember say ing that Frazer had robbed Airs Heaton of her money.

Thomas M. Philaon, medical doctor, re siding in Auckland, gave evidence as to the reception of - Watson in the Provincial Hospital on i the 10th September, and de scribed the wounds on the head, which appeared to have been done by a hatchet or some such tool. He did not think that Watson . was permanently injured. He might do very well if he would in future re frain from drink ;if not he might be affected in consequence in times of indulgence. John Fraser, gum-digger, of Ivaihu Creek, was next examined, and deposed that whilst lying drunk in his whure, he was struck by Mr Hcaton ; a man named Blackie was there at the time. She struck him with a toma hawk. He got up and caught her by the arm, whilst a young man named Pashley, also present in the whare, took the tomahawk from her hand. He then went to Heaton's whare, and asked why his wife had assaulted him, when Ileaton replied that he had sent her for that purpose ; and that Scotty (mean ing Watson) would be served inthe same way. He learnt subsequently that Watson had been assaulted, and when he saw the blood stained clothes hanging outside the whare, he asked what*it meant, she told him that Scotty had been^ seriously injured on the previous day. Mrs Heaton afterwards accused him of attacking Watson, with whom he was on intimate terms. Cross-examined by Heaton—he believed in a God, and in the Bible. To Mrs HeatoD—He could not remember distinctly about her coming to his tent. He •was not unconscious. He knew'nothing about Scotty's shirts. Ho found a clean shirt on himself over a dirty one on the Sunday morning, but he could not tell who put it on him. He was too drunk to know whether he had a shirt on or not. He was told that Mis Heaton had put it on. John William Henry, firewood contractor, objected to be sworn unless extra expenses were guaranteed to him. His Honor informed him tliat unless he had conscientious religious objections he must ," c sworn. He was then duly sworn, and deposed that on the G!h of September he observed Watson in a boat on the creek. He went to the creek, and got into the boat with Watson. Mrs Heaton then came out in a half-naked etato and very wet, and said that her husband had attempted to drown her, Beaton was then in luV tout, timnex

was there, but very drunk. Mrs Heaton asked Watson for £3, when Watson said lie had no sovereigns of hers, wheu Mrs Heaton swore lustily, and said '; Only wait till I get my chemise otf and I'll knock it out of you." She had been drinking, but was not drunk.

Cross-examined by the male prisoner : He remembered the two magistrates going to hia whare. Pie knew that Watson had been drinking heavily for some time before the alleged assault.

To Mrs Heaton : He did say that she was foolish to lend Scottj' money or anyone else to waste in drink.

Alfred Coldrey, wood-cutter, stated that on the morning of the 4th instant, Heaton called upon him for a drink of water, saying that he had had no sleep during the night, that he had been meditating upon taking the lives of two Scotchman, Watson and Eraser, but did not give any reasons ; he had heard him say on a previous day that he had been robbed of some money. George de Blagrove corroborated the evil dence of the last witness, and added that he heard the male prisoner say he would have the life of Walker, and then that of his wife. To the male prisoner : He did not remem ber his wife saying after assaulting Praser that he had robbed her of three sovereigns. They had all been drinking freely, and in consequence and to avoid the" row he absented himself for several days from the camp. It was not entirely on account of drinking to excess. * William Arthur M.irriner, storekeeper, of Waihu creek, recollected the male prisoner being at his store on the 4th September, when he had a glass of brandy and got into a very excited state, saying his wife was the mother of twelve children, and he did not value his life; that he would take the life of Watson, and then die contentedly himself. Witness then euquired of a car penter who the prisoner was—he was a stranger to him] then—-when; prisoner re turned crying aloud and exclaiming, "I'll have his life ; I will.'' Witness asked pri soner what was the matter, when he replied that Scotty had taken some bottles of rum to his shanty, and taken away his wife. He had hoped that he had reformed her, but '' now she is ruined again. I'll have her life." Witness persuaded him to calm himself, and things would be right. He then desired witness to let his two men take him up the creek in a boat in search of his wife.

John Scott Betsie, a duly qualified medi cal practitioner, residing in the district, attended the wounded man on the evening of the assault. He confirmed the opinions of Dr. Philson as to the wounds and the probable cause of them.

This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner commenced his address to the jury at forty minutes past two.

[Left sitting.]

POLICE COURT.—This Day

(Before Thomas Eeckham, Esq., E.M.) ElizaHartandJ. Herbert[were fined lOsand costs, or twenty-hours hours imprisonment for this offence. VAGRANCY. Jane Goldsmith was charged with being drunk and using obscene language in the public street; also with being a rogue and a vagabond, and having been convicted of drunkenness three times within twelve months. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and received for the different offences fines of 20s and 405., and sentences of imprisonment of two weeks and six months. A poor old man named Domine Perrers, who appeared in a destitute condition, was brought up before his Worship charged with being without lawful means of existence. He was. remanded for the purpose of an attempt being made to procure him admission into the Old Man's Home. During the morning the order arrived, and the charge was with drawn. EDUCATION TAX. A number of summonses for nonpayment of this rate were called on. Most of them were adjourned till 30th October. The rest were either settled out of Court or with drawn. THE WAY TO BREED DISEASE. —A NUISANCE. Christopher Greenway appeared to answer a summons issued at the instance of the City Corporation, acting as the local Board of Health, charging him with allowing a privy on his premises in Wakelield street to over flow and cause a nuisance. Mr J. E. Russell appeared to prosecute. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr Russell detailed the circumstances of the case, which he described as one of an aggravated character. He then called Mr Goldie, who deposed that a notice was left at the office of the local board alleging the existence of a nuisance on Mr Greenway's property in Wakefield-street. He went to the premises and found a closet there overflowing, and very offensive. He gave Mr Greenway notice to remove the nuisance, but three days afterwards it was still there. The present proceedings were then instituted. Mr Greenway cross-examined the witness with a view to shewing that Mr Goldie did not interfere with other people. His Worship stopped Mr G reenway, with the reminder that if Mr Goldie allowed every other man in the city to maintain a nuisance it was no excuse for him doing so. If Mr Goldie did not do his duty that was another matter.

Mrs Wood, a tenant of Mr Greenway's, was ne>:t called, and spoke to the offensive condition of the closets. She was afraid of her children's health suffering. It was enough to breed a fever. When the rain came the water flooded the privies, and made them intolerable. Mr Alfred Ashton was called, and deposed to receiving the rants of the premises for Mr Greenway. This was the case. His Worship said it was perfectly plain that the state of defendant's premises in curred the provisions of the Act, and it was perfectly clear that the nuisance did exist on the day in question. Common humanity and decency, apart from considerations of law, ought to have constrained Mr Greenway to have removed the nuisance. The counsel for the prosecution in the case had omitted a point in his indictment. Under the Act it was plain that an infor mation must be laid for a penalty to be infiicted. This was simply a complaint. Mr J. B. Russell asked for a postpone ment of the decision of the Court on the point, in order to afford him an opportunity of showing that the indictment was properly laid. His Worship consented to this, and post poned the decision for a week, defendant in the meanwhile to pay all costs, amounting to £4 10s.

INQUEST.—This Day.

An inquest was held to-day at the Railway Terminus, before Dr Philson and a jury, on the body of Peter Barrett. Joseph Tapper, a carpenter, employed by the Harbour Board, deposed to finding body of deceased in the water, close to North Shore Ferry T, on the Sth inst. Sergeant Baker deposed to being called by the last: witness, and taking tho body up to the dead-house. Since deceased was missed l»e had been dragged for on separate occasions.

THE EVENING STAB, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9 1878



William Comes, the providore of the p.s. Larly Bowen, deposed to seeing deceased going ashore on the evening of the Ist. Hi was a very stormy night. Deceased called to witness to lend hinia handkerchief to wrap something up in. He never saw him alive afterwards. He heard no splash. The Lady Bowen was lying outside the Enterprise, and there was about 6ft. between the two boats. A plank was across the interval, without side rails.

N.B.—Umbrellas Re-covered. WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PENNAL has much pleasure in in troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported: PRINCESS OF WALES. This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any 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 guided by one hand, while the other is omployed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as eflicient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEBN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its applicntioiLto plain sewing of every kind it exactly resembies the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. 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. It le mis where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. It ia important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion. » itarNoto the address:--MISS PEKTNAL, Diess, i Mantle-maker, and Machinist, WISW ENW fiOVBE WAKUFIEtD STBEET.
