SUPREME COURT.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS,

Before his Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Kt., Chief Justice.

Charge of Incendiarism.

THE SUMMING UP.

His Honor proceeded to sum up the evi dence adduced in the protracted trial of Alexander Brown with his wonted ability, and commenced by saying that the young man at the bar stood charged with wilfully and feloniously attempting to set fire to certain premises in Shortland-street on the night of the 11th of June, with intent to injure Messrs. Must and Company, and Messrs. MoArthur, Shera and Company. It was proved beyond doubt that some person did set fire to those premises on that particular night, but whether or not the prisoner committed' that ev il act was for them (the jury)|to decide. Every one who has heard the. evidence must naturally feel much sympathy no t only with the prisoner, but with the lady, his mother, who gave evident before them yesterday, and also with the family who belong to a people once denominated the chosen race ; bnt in dealing -with a matter of this serious nature, gent'iemen must not allow their sym pathies to interfere with or subvert the ends ef justice.. His Honor then proceeded to notice th-^ conduct of the detectives in rela tion to the searching of Mr Brown's house, aQd Considered that no unnecessary action na(Z been exercised in that search, no locks been broken, and however unpleasant 'such a proceeding may be to the inmates, under certain circumstances it was unavoid able. As to the imputation on the police respecting the making up of the mysterious bundle, in connection with the woman Gleeson, there was no reason to suppose that the detectives had any hand in making it up ; and the jury might dismiss the bundle as of small importance. He next referred to the immediate subject of the charge, the lighting of the fire, and dwelt minutely upon the statements of the several witnessess who were in the . locality almost at the moment of the breaking out of -the fire. With respect to' the evidence of Alice Murphy, of Hobson-street, his Honor considered her evidence comparatively value less, as she could, not speak definitely as to ' the exact time when prisoner visited her, or when he left her house. His Honor then noticed the particular habits of the young man. Brown, who it was reason able to assume had been properly trained, and it would be for the jury to con sider whether or not it was likely that a young man with the thought of music in his mind, and in consideration of his other proclivities, could entertain the dark plot of burning down those valuable premises. - Itf'waa for them to judge of these matters by the evidence adduced. As to the bottles of which so much had been said, two bottles had been, found some time after the event which had held kerosene, and other similar bottles had been found in the pre mises of the prisoner's father.: He did not attach very great importance to this part of the inquiry in relation to the charge: It was not uncommon for persons to cast empty bottles into such.enclosures as that where these bottles were found as in England, where persons are in the habit of going round with a barrow or a donkey and cart to collect them. He next proceeded to speak of the mysterious bundle and to describe its fragments one by one as they were handed for examination to .the gentle men of the July. "(This process occupied a considerable portion of time.) .r His Honor then went oyer the whole of the evidence with the utmost care, with ac companying csmmentsrori the mOre important point?, and concluded a few minutes after three o'clock.

The jury then retired to consider their verdict.

Verdict Not Guilty.

The jury, at a quarter past four o'clock, after an hour's retirement, returned with a ve-diet of " Not guilty." The prisoner was therefore discharged. This concluded the criminal calendar, and His Honor thanked the Sjury for their ser vices, and released them Sfrom future atten dance.

WELLINGTON.

This day.

The duty on spirits, as proposed by Mr Macandrew, is calculated to reach eight shil lings per gallon in 1880, and then to remain stationary. v .'• The business of the House is proceeding quietly, and there is ; a dearth of news. The Government were strongly opposed on Mr Vogel's motion yesterday to increase Sir William Martin's pension by £166 13s 4d, making it £500 per annum. Mr Vogel said he would witndraw the motion rather than let it go to division. The further considera tion of the subject was postponed. In reply to Mr Sheehan Mr Vogel stated that a Native Lands Act Amendment Bill, framed on the reports of the judges of the Native lanteGomtf, would be introduced. In replOo Mr O'Neill Mr Vogel stated that t> were still opposed to tU Z . ?&i of the Thames Valley Bail »»>Z '--i QV . . Z . Mr Wood presented a petition-from Mr _. A. Harris about timber floatage. PAYMENTS TO CIVIL SERVAN TS. Mr Swanson asked the Premier J whether he has any objection to lay upon the table of the House the opinion of the Attorney- General as to the right- of civil "servants to pensions which was submitted to the select committee appointed last session to report upon the Civil Service BOM He quoted from the " Times "at length. The opinion of the Attorney - General last . year was given, but it was not considered desirable to publish it. 'Mr Swaiwon should h*vo n 1

perusal of it, and then if he thought fit it should be laid on the table.

Mr Swanson objected to the onus being laid on him.

"r MrVogel said he would accept the respon sibility to lay the opinion on the table for the satisfaction of the civil servants and pub lic generally.

The Ngatiwahakawe had a great meeting yesterday relative to paying Mr Turner's claim for surveying. The natives offer their Maketu lands to the Government to liquidate the debt, so that proceedings pending in the Supreme Court may be stayed. The natives expressed great dissatisfaction with the action of the Government at Wellington re native lands, particularly at the delay in getting replies to applications for durchase or lease of their lands." Large blocks are now under offer, but the Government are causing delays and difficulties where there is no cause.

THE PURE " CROSS."

(To the Editor of the Evening; Star.)

Sib, —In reading the leading article in to day's " Cross " I find the following passage : —I' To have printed Mr JRees' speech as it wis delivered would have been to run the risk of many well-founded actions for libel." Query: Does the "Cross" run any risk by reprinting the "Slanderer?" Referring to >■ the " Slanderer," edited by John 8. Macfarlane and. Co., the "Cross" says: — " Squibs are a recognised part of popular elec tions." Squibs, indeed. Squibs 1 The man that calls that a. squib may be fit to write leaders for the poor " Cross," and also for the Luna-; tics Asylum. Mr Macfarlane'a attack upon Mr JRees was unprovoked. His language was fit only for the pot-house, and the miser able spectacle that he looked cannot, be des cribed. The sting in all that Mr. JRees said, as was generally remarked after the meeting, lay in its truth, wrapped up as it was in caustio language, but cer tainly within1 the bounds of the' lati tude allowed at the hustings. Mr Macfar lane'a language however consisted in one or two words often used by poor uncared for boys in the streets. One says " Billy, you have stolen my top." Johnny replies "You're a liar." Fancy Mr Macfarlane in the House of Representatives, umbrella in hand, denounc ing some member who ia differing from him in such language. Sir, one thing I want to know. Macfarlane aald yesterday he only wrote part of the "Slanderer," and then handed it over to abler hands to finish. He would not say who, but referred the meeting to Mr AtJkin, the printer, for information. It is to be hoped that the name of every contributor to that vile pro duction may be known. The name of the head of a certain legal firm has been men tioned as one contributor. Possibly the "Cross" editor's room could furnish another. Whoever they are let the poor, pure, mild, order-loving managing director of the "Cross," after publishing a copy of the "Slanderer" to-day, publish to-morrow the names of its authors. Now I have one word to say to Mr Yon der Heyde :. You are a director of the " Cross." You will fail in your duty if you do not insist upon the names being pub lilhed to-morrow.—l am, Ac, Citizen.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL,

The repeat of this opera last evening failed to attract the large attendance its popularity generally ensures and its intrinsic merit as a composition deserves. The audience, how ever, though not large, was appreciative, and did full justice to the several beauties of the opera as presented. Having given a some what lengthy criticism on its first production, it is only necessary to remark that Miss Alice' May again enthralled her 'listeners with the expressive manner in which she gave the song of " I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," while her personation of the gipsy heroine' was natural and piquant It fs no flattery to Mr Bainford to say that his r6le of Count Arnheim is to our mind his most successful conception, and _that his rendering of "The heart bowed down is one of bis best vocal efforts. A trombone So lo, by Mr Stoneham, —of- the song calls for special notice. It was. executed with the best of tM*«'U^ d-^7 forth deserved, aprlause. • The> fompb ment of an encore* was given Mr Hallam for Ss exquisite rendering of "When the fair land of Poland." He was Twee,, and did special justice fr^J^T*^ " When other lips and other hearts. ~ Ihe /subordinate oharaotert were •tfeU.austtmea,
