The scope of the 01 that by compelling machine owners Srtain things the Legislature would * Sato pi* down the system of • n stealing that had been carried !peTthe Thames. The Act was specially f Sid agaiDst persons crushing quartz X Vrf keening a register of it to show f° e the o?e came from. It was to be Itted that the regulations had not been lin evidence to the jury. If the party ty ore to machine-owners refused to > information he was liable to be fined : $ 'theore impounded. If Cass had acted the plaintiifs claimed it would have ! Jnced the whole object the police had in ! ■I to a farce and an absurdity. Manning j raid not have put his head into the noose ! !j(w had told him where he got I L specimens. If Manning -was induced j to crush the stone at the earnest j Ilicitation of Cass he would have made | L most of the point, and his solicitor, Mr | MacPonald, would have put it strongly to i fte Bench in his favour. The statements ! •boat this affair were irreconcilable. Cass' \ statement regarding it was easily explained f the fact that it would not be safe for him Js»y that he had laid a trap for Manning, or Lt he had been induced by the police to Isy the trap. After the evidence had beeu closed, anQ< solicitor's address, who jaid he looked upon the case as hopeless, the magistrate made the remarks reported in the Thames morning paper. (Reads the jlatement.) How could the police get up the case otherwise than through their own went getting the ore crushed by Manning. Cass did not go there to commit an offence ; lie merely went to see whether Manning would crush the stone without asking any thing about it. The magistrate's explanation fas given of that statement. Any person leading his remarks at the Thames in the place where the Act of the Legislature T as intended to have its application. wold wonder that he had made a direct charge against the police — that they had committed an offence themselves, — ie would be warranted in saying that the magistrate did show a sympathy with crime. {Counsel read the first article published in the Stab newspaper). The magistrate's com ments had an effect on the writer of the letter published in that article—that the police were to blame in the matter, and that Manning was entitled to sympathy. That itas the effect on the mind of the writer of the letter; that was the origin of the libel ; {hat was the style of the letter on fflich the first article commented. The language of the article was strong, but not sufficient for the jury to say that the defendants had been guilty of a groBS and slanderous libel. The whole of it rapointed to what took place ; it imputed nothing more than mere maudlin sympathy on the part of the Magistrate with Manning. If the Magistrate, acting under the influence (j!feeling and indiscretion, made a statement tithat sort, was it not justifiable to say that b was sympathising with the offender, specially when he called forth " the jfandits of the roughs in Court." That us only an expression of the writer's opinion on the Magistrate's conduct on that occasion. The first article was taught out by the writer of a letter lrhich was commented on in it. The whole of the magistrate's comments were directed ipiiut the police. They did not refer to the taßeor the necessity for the provisions of the Act to be carried out. He did not know ■ whether Captain Fraser had any quarrel with the police. The magistrate on the previous toy asserted that he believed the notes of tie case were in the possession of the defend ing and that the police and the clerk had «ly access to the notes. He allowed him riftobe swayed by his feelings. He showed Bnenndne feeling against the defendants in iking that statement, and did cast isieimputations upon the police. (Coun d then read the information cgainst Wendants). He maintained that if the real wject in making those remarks from the «Mo was to show a sympathy with crime « should be deprived of his position as ?*gistrate. That wa3 the opinion expressed ttthe article published by the defendants. uelangaage used in the articles was strong, wt they must be considered as a whole. Maongh there is high-flown language in the Wiclea a person was not to be convicted- on They did not seem to have *» deliberately written; much of the rP'age used was nothing but metaphor. % seemed to have been dashed off at the foment. There was no personal malice •town in the articles. A subsequent article j™ not say that Captain Fraser even should ™ Pushed, but that he should be removed "omthe district where he seemed to be Witting popularity. One of the articles was »ther taken up by an article in the James "Star." The imputation that Mr **«had written the article in the Thames . v«r was not libellous. The language J™ which the Evkning Star's articles jawed was used to give a point to the «»o the writer. There was no intention jl|!j bbsh malicious libel against Mr Frsser. jj^M had been their object they would *» S ttß^* anotner occasion and another (A He was justified in asking the jury to Wer what the articles commented upon ; Jcted maonstrates, in their opinion, ltd S9 as to sympathise with specimen (T«W| some of whom were no doubt in hJa he time, the guilt of the accused J7 "ot be established.

They could not have made any answer to the rule unless they pleaded guilty, but they put themselves on the country to say whether they had been guilty of libel or not in pub lishing tWe articles. The jury would hardly say that Mr Eraser was injured by those articles being published. The defendants did no* b.e»eve that they had been guilty of publishing a defamatory and malicious libel against Mr Fraser, and he hoped the jury would give them credit for that belief on their part. There was was not evidence to shew that the defendants had committed a criminal offence by publishing ait-cles strongly discussing Mr Frasei's conduct. In Ireland there "had been more actions for libel against public persons than in England or anywhere. Councel quoted the language of Justice Fitzgerald in favour of tbe freedom of the Press to discuss the characters of public men and consider the proceedings of Courts of Justice. His Lordship said on that occasion—"Before going into detail I would remind you that the defendant is prosecuted as the proprietor of a publio journal. There is in this country perfect freedom of the Pi ess, and to many of the passages in these publications about the down-trodden condition of the country the present answer is that here exists a free Press, and where that exists liberty must co exist with it. "When you come to consider what a jonrnalist may do, I bave to point out that a journalist may (and indeed it is his duty) canva?s and censure the acts of the Government of the State. Hr is free to discuss their acts and their public policy, and he may canvass, and, if he thinks proper, censures the acts of Government and Ministers, and above all he is invited to consider what is of the greatest importance—the administration of the law ; for it has been well said by Mr Burke and a great American writer that after all what are all our institutions for, what do we go to war for, for what do we make peace, what is the final object and end ? It is that the administration of justice shall be pure and uncorrupted ; it is that we may have an institution such as I see before me, a jury of the country, to decide upon the civil rights and responsibilities of the people. It is with that view that the public Press is invited to consider the proceedings of courts of justice, for, like every other human tribunal, courts of justice are fallible and liable to err." If the evidence in this case satisfied the jury that the true object of the defendants in publishing those articles was to defame the magistrate they would find them " guilty ;" if, on the other hand, they were satisfied that their sole object was to com ment upon the conduct of the magistrate in making the observations he did from the Bench as a matter of interest to tbe com munity at large, they would acquit the defendants, otherwise they would be restrict ing the rights and privileges of the Press in fairly commenting upon the public conduct of public men.

The Court then adjourned for three quarters of an hour. Mr Eees delivered a very able address for the defence occupying three hours, and which we are compelled to hold over until to-mor row. His Honor then summed up, concluding shortly after four o'clock. The jury then retired and had not return ed when we went to press.

THE KOHIMARAMA MURDER.

Pinka s evidence continued:—We did not see Newton after leaving the house, neither I nor tho woman. She went to house and I returned to my house, vye agreed to meet a^ain that evening, and she was to warn me of her coming by singing a song She sang according to promise. I neard Newton call out—"Eti Eti i" She said " "What," and I heard no more. I saw her no more alive.

William Astle, a settler at Kohimarama, knew deceased and the prisoner. On the loth instant she came to my fhouse at nine o dock. She was then in good health and spirits. She left my house singing a Maori song, and went towards her home, when I heard Newton cry out " Eti, Eti." At ten o'clock that night I heard cries that Henrietta was dead. I suspected that Newton had murdered her ; my reason for suspecting him was this : I heard him say that if she went astray with any other man he would put her out of the way. He had frequently made the same threat, and Henrietta was afraid of him.

Heni te Wiuka, a Maori girl thirteen years of age, was called next, as she was an important witness. In consequence of her being very ignorant of the nature of an oath the Coroner adjourned the examination r>f this witness until to-morrow, in order that she might be instructed as to the solemn nature of an oath.

Wbatati was next examined, and deposed : I heard Newton call out "Henrietta Tepuni is dead I went to the spot, and saw Newton carrying her body in his arms. Her feet were dragging along the ground. I asked him why he was carrying her in that way. He then put her clothes down, and I assisted to carry the body to her mother's house. We laid her on the bed. Newton made no explanation as to the cause of death.

Mareana, the mother of deceased, said : My daughter, who lived with me, is about twenty. After breakfast on Tuesday she left my house. She did not return, and at six in the evening I asked Newton to look for her. He said she had gone to Pirik.i. I said "Bring her back gently; don't injure her." J beard him cry out " Henrietta is dead." I heard Newton threaten to kill her if she did wrong, but do not know that he wished to marry her. IJima, a native, also gave evidence of a similar character.

The Court then adjourned until to-morrow, when the enquiry wiJl be resumed.

THIS DAY,

Heni Te Euru Kakarewa, a girl of 13, who had been examined as to the nature of an oath by Dr. Maunsell, and understood the obligation, was then sworn and deposed : — I knew the deceased Henrietta and Newton, now present. I went to look for Henrietta on the evening of the 13th ; it was dark. T went to Mary Ann's house, the mother of the deceased, but did not see Henrietta. I then went up the hill towards Pirika's house, and saw them both on the road, not far from our house at the Point. They were sitting down together. Newton was in a kneeling position. Henrietta was lying across bia lpgs, with her head betwepn his knees. I did not fmeak to them, but sat down by the side of Newton, a few paces off. Newton saw me, and said— What are you doing here ; get up and go away ? She was meaning and groaning: she did not speak. I went away. 1 could not see uhethrr she was writhing as it was very dark. Newton said—Go ami get Grace and Krheri, the father of the deceased, and make haste.

Haukore, a native, was next called Left Sitting.
