THE YACHT WINONA SPOKEN,

[Per Anglo-Australian Telegraph Company.]

NAPIER.

Monday. A meeting was held by the Infantry re presentatives at the camp on the 26th March, Mr Hamlin in the chair. Resolutions were passed that running, rapidity, and skirmish ing matches be struck out of the programme of future meetings, because of the liability and opportunity they afford competitors to fire on wrong targets, occasioning prizes to fall to men who firing equally would not have won. Also'that the firing damages rifles and endangers the lives of competitors. In place of the above three range matches they suggest four, five, and six hundred yards, ten shots at each, be included in the championship matches, the following disc to be substituted —bu.l's-eye, wh-'te; centre, red; outer, black. Large bores not to be brought into competition with small bores. A special match to be provided if the Government think it advisable to encourage small bores.

THE SIREN'S SONG—A FANCY.

The weary sails a moment slept, The oars were still awhile, As past Hesperian shores we swept Still memoried as a smile. Seen after lapse of weary years, Where life's dim shadow's meet; Dim through the mists of many tears We heard those voices sweet. Beside a silver-sanded bay We saw the sirens fair, .. L ; m™> Wery Ml whereon they lay With flowers amid their hair, iheir old sweet song stole down the wind, . J-heir music sweet and strong;" ; At \_noio no need of cords to bind, No need of Orphic song. It once had seemed a lightsome thing' •n. * m dowa afc their feet > J-navdymg, we might hear them sing, see their faces sweet. ■DUt now we gazed, and, passing by, ,- ,Qared not.to tarry long. - -me sweet, sad strains of memory Were more than siren's song."

On the 21st of March she appeared poorly,and could not do her work ; her husband had expressed an opinion upon the matter. The. remainder of Mrs. Whee ler s evidence was corroborative of that of her husband.:

Jessie Bell, general servant, widow, de posed that she was called in to nurse Min nie Garliok on Monday last. She did not consider her to be in a weakly state. She was feverish, and confessed that she had had a baby on Saturday; an d when witness in quired where it was she told her where she had deposited its body. She also said that it cried once after it was born. She said she was confined at six o'clock on the Saturday morning She told Detective Ternahan of the particulars. She said she did all the work scrubbing, &c., on the Saturday ; and intended to have walked out on Sunday, but was alraid she should be taken ill. She said the lather of her child was a sailor who came out by the Woocllark, but he was away trom the colony William Stone Pardy, Sergeaht-Major of S 6 ;£ lck. land Police Porce, deposed that on the 2ord inst., in consequence of information which he received from Mr Wheeler, he went, as directed, to the premises in Coburg street, and got into the well, about four feet deep, and found the body of a new-born in fant folded in matting, and partially covered with ashes. He took it into Mr Wheeler's house, and sent for a medical man, and Dr .Nicholson soon arrived. There were some kind of blue marks in the throat of the in fant, as though made by the pressure of fingers and a few very slight abrasions on the chest. The body was then removed to the police station, and subjected to a post-mortem examination. He then saw the prisoner, who was in bed ; she was in a very excited state. He told her, as as soon as she became calm, that a child had been found in the well under her window, which was supposed to be hers. She acknowledged that it was so, but that she was very frigh tened and did not know what to do with the body. She had not used any violence to wards the child, and that the father was a sailor, Charles Lethie, now gone on a voyage to Napier. The birth, she said, was prema ture, and she was anxious to conceal her misfortune from Mrs Wheeler. She further stated that after being delivered she wrapped the child in a blanket and went down stairs to do her work, and upon re turning to the child found that it was cold and dead. She was horrified, and then buried it in the manner described, but con tinually protested that she used no violence towards it. The marks on the neck might have been caused by a thumb and finger, or from the pressure of anything tied round the neck.

$? Robert Ternahan, detective officer, then gave evidence :He was present at the well on the day of the finding of the body, and re moved it to the police station. Me searched prisoner's room and found the things pro duced, (chiefly bedding) containing marks of discolourings. He should consider that the marks on each side of the windpipe were caused by thumb and finger. Dr. John R. Nicholson, medical practi tioner of Auckland, was next examined, and remembered being called to Mr Wheeler's house on the morning of the 21st inst. to see the female now present. In consequence of what he had been told he made examina tion, and found all the symptoms of a recent confinement. Prisoner at once confessed that she had had a baby on the previous Saturday. She stated that she had no assist ance ; that she did not previousy know she was pregnant, nor had she any suspicion. She had not ceased to be as women ought to be in the ordinary course of life. She also stated that the child was born at half-past five, and that she buried it at six o'clock. She asked if she should be sent to prison. Wit ness .said "why do you ask? Was the child alive then?" She"said it cried once or twice. He examined the child, it was full grown and perfect in all its parts ; it was a tong-bodied child. He made a post mortem examination of the body on the Monday following the birth, and here described very minutely the con dition of the inner - parts. The child was born alive and had breathed, and the heart and lungs were healthy. [Left Sitting.]
