Murder Near Cambridge

Particulars of the Occurrence.

Inquest on the Body.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CAMBRIDGE,

This day.

Great excitement was caused in the township yesterday by the arrival of a man named Jones, who reported that a man named Sullivan had been mur dered on Walker and Douglas's swamp, near the Mangapiko river, about seven miles from Cambridge. Major Clare and a number of settlers at once went out to ascertain whether the report was con ect. They were con ducted to the-spot where the occurrence was said to have taken place, and there found Sullivan's body with the head eufc off and the heart torn out.

I learn from one of the men who was with Sullivan at the time of the murder that the deceased,, with two other men, was walking up Walker and Douglas's swamp, just beyond the confiscated boundary, when they saw a party of Maoris numbering four' or six, with guns, coming towards them.

The Europeans turned back and ran some distance in the opposite direction to the one they were taking when they saw the Maoris ahead. The Maoris followed them; and after pro ceeding some distance Sullivan said. "I cannot keep up this pace." He stopped, and turned his face towards the Maoris, as if to ascertain whether their intentions were really hostile. His comrades hurried on, but had not proceeded far when they heard the report of a gun. They turned round and saw that Sullivan had fallen to the ground. They did not wait to see more, but made off as fast as possible and reported the matter at Cambridge. Upon examining poor Sullivan's body it was found that the bullet had entered at the shoulder-blade from behind; and it was supposed that the unfortunate man, upon seeing that the Maoris really intended mischief, turned turned round again to run, when he was struck down with a bullet.

None of the murderers were visible when Major Clare's party arrived at the scene, but the men who were with Sullivan state that Poutururu (Bill), was of the party, but they did not know any of the other natives.

About a mile from the scene of Sullivan's murder, Mr Parker and and another man were fired upon. ■ j

There is great excitement in Cam bridge, and it ia hoped that prompt steps will be taken to punish the murderers.

This afternoon, 3.45,

An inquest is now being held on the body of Sullivan. I will send fuller particulars presently.

Mr Donald Keid's Address to his

Constituents.

DUNEDIN.

This day. Mr Donald Eeid addressed his con stituents on Wednesday night at Taieri. .Referring to the formation of the new Government by Mr Stafford he said that had Mr Stafford bid for certain Maori votes as others had done he might have retained office. The Government of which Mr Beid was a member considered it wise and more

prudent to push on the railways already commenced than enter on too many lines at once. The present Govern ment was proceeding in violation of: an understanding, on the faith of which the loans were obtained that the money borrowed would be expended in repro ductive works, and the interest plaid out of the revenue instead of the capital. He hoped the day was not far distant when there would be a party in power with higher aims than the construction of railways, in some instances to secure votes. A vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Reid was carried unanimously. ;

ORDINATION AT ST PAUL'S.

This morning the Bishop of Auckland ad mitted Paipena Paerata to the office of a deacon in the Church of England. The Bishop entered the church at eleven a.m. accompanied by the following clergy, viz. Archdeacon Maunsell, Rev J. Kinder, A. G. Pnrchas, 0. M. Nelson, and W. Turipoha. The service was commenced by singing a Maori hymn, after which tho Archdeacon delivei'ed a short but impressixe sermon from 2 Tim. ii. verse, the former part in English the latter in Maori. Another hymn was then sung, and the service of ordination was proceeded with, the candi date being presented by Archdeacon Maun sell to the Bishop. The Litany was then said in Maori by Rev. A. G. Purchas, and the Communion Service commenced in English by Rev. C. M. Nelson. During the course of this latter service the candidate was ordained by the laying-on of hands. The Epistle was read in Maori by Rev. W. Turipona, and the Gospel by the Trewly ordained deacon, Rev. Rupena Paerata. At the administration of the Holy Com munion the Bishop was assisted by Arch deacon Maunsell, Rev. J. Kinder, and Rev. C. M. Nelson. The offertory, amounting to £1 11 s 2d, was in aid of the Waimata Native Minister's Endowment Fund. The musical arrangements were under the care, of Mr R. C. Muinwaring, organist of St. Mary's. The attendance at the Church was not numerous, a circumstance due in a great measure no doubt to the very unsettled state of the weather,

THE NEW MARKET.—A DREAM.

The moon was full and shining on my head As I lay dreaming in my narrow bed That I was turning from our leading street Towards the Market, furnished and complete. / I stepped within to take a brief reund view, ~\ \ When many things my rapt attention drew; "* I And soon-1 found myself amid the throng j That trod my toes and urged my steps along. ' ' ; As up and down the avenues I paced, j The stalls were dressed in order and with taste ; While slowly moved amid that verdant aceie Inspector Greenwood in a garb of green, And in the centre stood, his easy chair • Beside the sculptured statue of the Mayor. And there were stalls for caul-"flowers,.greens, Potatoes, pumpkins, celeiy, and brans, Forbab:es' caps, and combs, and boots and shoes, And autumn fruitage w'th its mellow hues, And bright geraniums set in golden'moss, j And, bottled neatly, fine Tomato s.iuce, And penny skins of blacking, blinds of wire,. And Wi'liams1 k*ndlers for the kitchen fire, With all the products of the passing hour, ■ ■ j Cakes, biscuits, lollies, toffee, bags of flour i With herbs of all sorts, native ferns and flowers, And well-nired ginghams to protect from showers; ; And stalls for pamphlets, French and English books,! And pins and needles, lines and fishing-hooks; And grocers' wares, and fine unequalled teas ; And fowls and butter, bacon, eggs, and cheese ; ■ And seats for ladies who may feel fatigue, | With " bones to pick," provided by the League. And a Good Templar touting in the shade, With spruce and ginger beer and lemonade ; , And walking-sticks and slippers, boots, and shoes, And drums and nddles, children to amuse. And by the door, in warrior-like repose, A draper stood in Scottish "kilt and hose; And by a cornfield, 'neath a hawthorn bough, A peasant rested on a modern plough. . . I asked myself, "What can these pictures mean? Why are they here ? what from them can we glean? But while I mused, and looked from face to face, On hundreds walking in the Market-place, A white potato bounced upon my head, Which made me start and tumble out of bed.

fp H X". ,N, X S WILLIAM BACON, in returning his sincere thanks to the two-thirds of his Fellow-Citizens (City East) and Personal Friends for their kindness in signing his Memorial and Application for a License-Renewal to his House in Chancery-street, bega to assure them that although their kind efforts were rendered un-. available by reason of the determined opposition of one man who has been at great pains to stigmatize the whole of the neighbourhood in which they reside as the most debased in the city, W.B. none the less cordially thanks them. "Without doubt the Licensing Act of Auckland is the greatest disgrace to our Statute Book which it has ever contained. It. encroaches on the rights of property by giving an irresponsible nobody the power of determining the value of licensed property year by year at his caprice, as well as whether a portion of the community shall have the accommoda tion they require or not according to his idea. The application to the Bench is a solemn farce when the Bench cannot grant a license in face of the report of the Inspector, who in such caie might complain that his report was treated as a nullity. With > respect to Mr, Broham's opinion of the neighbor hood of Chanceiy street, g'veri so freely, the in habitants have as great a right to canvass Mr Broham and his antecedents; and perhaps they and a majority of their fe'low citizens be"ides deny the fitness of Mr 8., from his antecedents, to wei~h the' moral character of the public by his own standard, a proceeding which, had he his due, would subject him to a smart action, or two for libel. If Mr Broham were appointed dispenser of licenses the public would stare ; but, under cover of the applications to the Bench, the despotic power vested in him by the Provincial law-wr"ghts is attempted to be concealed.
