and inflict such a wound upon the arm of 1 deceased that the blood spouted out -with such force that it could be plainly heard splashing on the wharf. Although the de ceased received medical aid almost immedi ately, there was a difficulty in getting at the artery to tie it, and attempts to atop the hemorrhage proved ineffectual. If the evidence showed that death was caused , by th« wound which Eppwright inflicted, he saw no reason for reducing the charge from that of murder, although something might be elicited in cross-examination to modify the penalty. He wished the Grand Jury to distinguish clearly between the charges laid against Eppwright and Fisher, the latter of whom was accused of aiding and abetting the murder charged against Epp wright;. In order to substantiate that charge it was not merely necessary to show that Fisher was present when the deed was committed as others were, but that he was also taking part and aiding Eppwright in committing the offence. The only other case be would remark upon was the charge of ■ wilful murder against Daniel Burke, and the case certainly seemed to be surrounded with mystery. , Burke was charged with the murder of a man named Marks at Mercury Bay. (His Honor.her* went at length into the evidence in the case, which we have already, published.) That the accused and deceased were together was prored also that the prisoner knew Marks was going to Fergusson's hotel. But why Marks had not reached the hotel was not clear, nor was there proof that Burke had followed h'm. The theory of the prosecu tion he presumed was that after Marks parted with Burns he was overtaken or met by' Burke ; that they then proceeded towards Fergiusen's hotel, when Burke killed Marks ; that he then went to the hotel, and afterwards returned to the place of the murder, and disposed of the body, returning again to the hotel with his clothes dripping wet. To dispose of the body was no easy matter, as it would be necessary to drag it over a long beach. It was alleged that Marks was sober, and it did not seem at all likely that he had walked into the water; or had laid down on the beach, and been covered by the returning tide. In seeking a motive it might be supposed that Burke, being drunk and quarrelsome, was provoked to commit the deed by some small quarrel. Another motive was suggested by the circumstances that when deceased's body ■was found his pocket was turned inside out, and a pound which he had obtained from Fer gusson th"t day was missing. But it must be remembered that the body was found on the beach by natives, and it was not unlikely that the person who discovered it might have felt in the pockets to ascertain the contents. It was a case which the Grand Jury must carefully consider whether there was suffi cient proof to justify the committal of the prisoner for further trial by that Court. His Honor then dismissed the Grand Jury to their duties. " , f TRUE BILLS. The Grand Jury found true bills against John Craike and John Thomas Binney (lar ceny), Frederick George Janes (embezzle ment), George Edwards (forging and uttering), and John Sh«a (attempt to commit suicide). TH3 QUICKSILVEB CASE. Henry Thomas Barclay, aged 26, late battery manager at Coromandel, was brought up to receive judgment, he being convicted on the 15th January of the present year of receiving a quantity of quicksilver, knowing it to have been stolen. The particulars of this case have been fully fpiiblished, but judgment had been reserved pending the decision of the Court of Appeal as to the admissibility of ; the evidence of the principal witness. . ' ■ His^ Honor said the evidence of that gentleman had been admitted by the Court of Appeal, , and the sentence of the Court would be eighteen calendar months' imprison ment with hard labour/ PETTY LARCENY, . ] . John Craike, sailor, aged 16, and John Thomaa Binney, aged 17, also a sa^or, were arraigned upon an , indictment charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the premises of the Immigration Barracks on their arrival'by the Wb'bdlark., , ~ The boys pleaded guilty, and were each sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. \tasi v EMBEZZLEMENT. Frederick George Janes, age 49 years, described as an1 accountant, pleaded guilty to charges of embezzlement and larceny, with having appropriated certain, moneys belong ing to his employers Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane to his own use. Prisoner, who had nothing^to say why the judgment at the Court should not be passed Sjon him, wished to call upon Mr Yon der eyde to speak a word in his favor. I Mr Yon der Heyde said that prisoner had been two years in the service of the firm. He had also known him for tw6 years pre viously, but regretted to inform the Court that he could not speak favourably of the prisoner's character. His Honor said it was exceedingly painful to see a man of prisoner's years, experience, and ability, placed in such a position. He had sadly abused the trust reposed in him. The sentence of the Court npon him would be three years' penal servitude. ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE. John Shea, carpenter, aged 29, waa arraigned on an indictment charging him with attempting to commit suicide in May last, near Otaliulm. The prisoner, in a loud voice, pleaded not guilty. As several witnesses who had been sub pcenaed to attend were not in attendance, the trial was postponed. . , ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE, j , !J to James Carr, aged 32, a baker, was arrainged upon an indictment oharging him'with steals ing on the 6th June, from the person of John Chute, a purse containing £8. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brookfield appeared on behalf of the prosecution.

Prisoner was undefended. (Left sitting,)

FIRE AT REMUERA.

The fire bells rang out at a quarter to five this morning, giving an alarm of a fire that had broken out seme distance from town. The fire occurred in Mr D. Graham's ntables, situated about 100 yards from that gentle man's residence at Remuera. The stable was entirely destroyed, also a pony which was tied up Jin one of the stalls, while a calf, which was also in the stable, was enabled to effect its escape. The cause of the fire is unknown at present. Miss Amy Graham states that she was aroused at about 4.30 this morning by hearing a loud crackling noise, and discovered at once that the adjacent stable was on fire. She immediately called Thomas Brown, the servant, who states that on. turning out he found the fire had gained too strong a hold to attempt to enter the stables. He therefore turned his attention to saving a stack of hay in close oximity to the stable, and in which he was Jiusistedby Mr W. Jackson, who' observing the flames from his residence about half-a : mile distant, had come to render assistance. The building destoyed is valued at £200j'and was uninsured. The man servant alleges that he is not a smoker, and had no occasion to light 9, match, in the stable during yesterday.
