He did not spend any of that money at Fer gusson's. He left that hotel about two o'clock, and witness did not see him alive after. John Bunyan Fergusson, proprietor of the Mercury Bay Hotel, deposed that the deceased stayed at his hotel. He gave him a pound on the 24th out of £6 given him by deceased for safe custody. Pie saw Burke come into the hotel about eight o'clock bartly under the influence of drink. He vent out shortly after saying he was I gointj to see the cook, Charles Pearce. Burke ' returned in about twenty-five minutes, when witness noticed his clothing was very wet, so wet in fact that the water was dropping off his clothes on to the floor, dripping off him wherever he went, and making tracks on the floor. There was no rain at that time sufficient to wet him as describe. Thed night was misty, but not heavy rain. The water was dripping out of accused boots, and off his trousers. He sat down at the table

where I was sitting, and left a pool of water where he sat. The remainder of witness's evidence relative to Ackran and Burkes quarrelsomeness corroborated pre vious witness's.

Arthur Steel Ford, engineer, deposed that he slept at tbe Whitiangi Hotel on the 24th. He went to bed very early. Burke came to him about 8 o'clock, when he was in bed, and borrowed a lantern. He returned the lamp next morning, but the bottom was out of it. He had heard accused declare his innocence since arrest. Burke told him that when drunk he would do anything, and men were nothing to him.

Thomas Carini gave evidence relative to the road between his hotel and Fergusson's. There were three ditches crossed by the footpath, besides the blind creek, which is dry between the two hotels. There was only an inch or two of water in the ditches. There was a cart road along the beach about five feet below the footpath. Witness walked along this road during the afternoon, and did not get his feet wet. The tide would be about fifty yards out at eight o'clock. At high water there would be a few inches of water on the cart track, but not enough to wash away a body lying there. Marks spent 2s Gd at his hotel that day. He did not hear Burke quarrel with any one, except a few words he had with witness. John Henry McLennan, labourer, deposed to having found the body of deceased on the beach, about six miles from the hotel, towards the sea. He searched the body, and only found a clay pipe on it. The right hand trouser-pocket was turned inside out. The body did not have the appearance of having been recently disturbed when witness found it. The head of the body was almost severed from the trunk when found.

Alexander McLeod, barman at the Whiti anga, re-called, deposed that acoused did not change a pound note there. He spent about eight or nine shillings there. Alfred Agassiz, medical practitioner and J.P., deposed that on the 12th May he went to the spot where deceased was lying on the beach. The hands were outstretched and the body in a fearfully putrid state. It was beyond identification, but wit ness indentified the clothing as that of James Marks. One of the pockets was turned inside out. Witness saw the body searched, and a pipe found on it He held an inquest on the body. He ex amined it as carefully as he could in the state it was. The skull was perfect, and no bones were broken. The internal organs were one mass of putrefaction. At the inquest a verdict of "Found Drowned" was returned, the jury expressing a hope that the matter would be further inquired into by the police. Martin Grace, constable of the A.C, Grahamstown, deposed to having arrested prisoner. He cautioned him that any state ment he might make would be used against him, when Burke said, "I have only to what I said before that I saw James Marks aboutthree months ago, on board the steamer going to Auckland. I did not see him on the night of April 24th, nor was I in his company either in the bar or the kitchen of Carini's hotel. I never had any angry words with him. I never challenged him outside to settle a quarrel. I did not see him outside with Burns. I did not see him on the beach that night. I have a good recollection. If I was lying drunk and you to wake me and ask gme for a pipe or shilling, although I never saw you before, I would remember it, and ask you for it next day. He said he was not drunk when he went from Carini's to Fergusson's hotel on the 24th. He said he left Carini's in consequence of a quarrel he had with Harry Carini during the day and went and stopped at Fergusson s. Hei further said, "Its a hard thing to accuse me of, as the man was drowned. Witness recollected staying with accused, and his mate Ackran in a hut at Gumtown on the road to Grahamstown. During the night he heard some con versation between prisoner and his mate He heard prisoner say, "If the bl—y woman keep her tongue quiet, it will be all right yet." Witness believed prisoner thought he was asleep at this time. He pretended to be asleep. Witness had paced the distance between Carini's and Fergusson's hotels ; .it was 260 yards. The distance from the boat shed to Fergusson's was 150. This was all the evidence, and prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court on the charge of wilful murder.

MASSACRE OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir,—For the benefit of Mr Brabazon and "IA Catholic," in your issue of Saturday, who appear to be extremely anxious to have the historical details of that infamous tragedy, I beg to forward the following extract from " Bonnechose's History of France," an authority which will not be questioned by either of these gentlemen, in which it will be seen that to the guilt of mur der was added the further enormity of bad faith and treachery.—Yours, &c, M. " Every means was employed to draw the greatest possible number of Protestants to Paris. Charles, with this view, inspired them purposely with some inquietude, and cave them to understand that it was neces sary for them to be in force in order to be secure from surprise or danger. They came to Paris in crowds, and the necessary pre parations for the work of blood were im mediately set about. The parts were distributed, and it was decided that the execution should commence with the dawn of the next day, which was the feast of St. Bartholomew. In order to prevent confusion the murderers were to wear a scarf on the left arm, and a white cross on their hats At daybreak the impatient Medici ordered the signal to be given by clock of St. Germain l'Auxerrois. At the sound of the dismal bell the city was filled with assas sins, and almost the first step was to sur round the house of Admiral Coligny, who was assassinated. The Huguenots, terrified at the noise of the tocsin, issued half naked from their dwellings, and perished by thou sands. The massacre lasted three days in Paris, where 5,000 lost their lives. Royal orders were despatched through the pro vinces to command similar massacres. Meaux, Angers, Bourges, Orleans, Lyons, Toulouse, and Rouen became theatres of horrible scenes; several governors, however, refused to obey. The Viscount d'Orthez, command -
