There was no judgment against me in Mohi's case at that time. I filed on the 18th or 19th September, 1870. I did not file mv declarations of, insolvency to avoid an execution issued by Burt, but at the advice of J S. Macfarlane to save myself from Harris and MacCormick. »The declaration T aa filed through Mr Richmond. After I filed my schedule Burt issued a writ against

' (The witness here made some some state ments in an excited tone to the effect that the defendant had advised his wife to put him in a Lunatic Asylum in order that he might get hold of the property.) Examination continued : I intended to go with the men went they went down. At this time I had not begun drinking. I suppose it is a great crime for a man to be driven to despair. J. S. not Harris has nearly driven me to despair. I have never got justice, and don't expect it, especially from the Bank of New Zealand. I do not believe that my son persuaded me not to go because he was afraid of my excited state.

The feelings of the witness at this point overcame his control, and he burst out into i fearful torrent of invective against the defendant, whom he described as a wretch „o tisid stuck at nothing in his endeavours to rain him for ever. The witness was evidently l-bouring under intense mental eicitement, and his eyes were suffused with team as lie spoke. Z Mr Hesketh appealed to the Court if this could be allowed.

Mr Bees said, that the learned gentleman brought it upon himself by his method of cross-examination. He was imputing all sorts of accusations against the witness, and when he retorted he was surprised.

Mr, : Hesketh said he did not wish to be told how to conduct his case. He simply objected to such irrelevant outbursts as that of the witness; ''"

Examination continued : My son has since told me that Macfarlane asked him to shoot 3»mV I only heard of this a month ago ; liidnot tell J. S. that I would shoot Harris. lWdnot hate wanted any instigation ; 1 toH have done it quick if I had made up ■/and to. He did not tell me to go away ™themill because I was drunk and abused Ma and others there. J. S. used to send me letters ca_hg Lme a thief for stealing my own money when all the time John Mac adlM kept a lot of whores down there ranking the rum. The logs are the princi pal things the fight has beea about all along. »■ S, received all the money from the Government, which was paid to the mill, and allowed n_ nothing for four years to keep mywifeand family. J.S. said I should only be in Court for six weeks, and he kept me wn for four years. He always persistently (.posed my getting out, Mr Kissling took j»y case up, but when he saw the opposition M told me he mußt let the case drop I left we mill at the end of April, and my debt tten was £4,500. Defendant has been since working the mill for my interest, and makes to debt now about £11,000.

I Bhould be armed for self-defence. Mac farlane told me to make sure of shooting young Harris. In any case if my life was in danger I should use a firearm if it was in my possession. Macfarlane abked me to use the revolver, especially in securing the logs, with out regard as to whether my life was in danger or not. Mr Macfarlane said, as nearly gas I can state, "Go down to Whangapoa, and if they show any opposition, make sure of that wretch young Harris, and that would end the log disputes." I said I would go down with the men and take the logs by force, but I did not care about shooting Harris. Macfarlane replied, "You ought to shoot him." On the same day defendant repeated the words, but I left him with the conviction that I would not do any shooting. I never mentioned Macfarlane's proposition to my father for fear of exciting him to wrong. I gave no specific reason to my father for not wishing him to go to Whanga poa, beyond that he had better not get into any row with Harris. I never mentioned the matter to anyone until I was ques tioned upon the matter a fortnight ago by Mr. Rees, when I said that Macfar lane had desired me to shoot Harris. I met Mr Rees in Mr Dv Moulin s office. I had seen him several times since in my father's office, in Wjndham-street. Mr Rees asked if I could remember the particu lars of Macfarlane's proposition to me to shoot Harris. I said yes, and gave him the facts as stated to the Bench. Mr Rees re plied : you may be wanted as a witness in a prosecution against J. S. Macfarlane for in citing to murder. This I believe was on Thursday, the 30th April. The conversation then turned upon matters of account between my father and defendant. On Monday last my statement was put upon paper ; I signed it, and when Mr Harris, jun., came to town it was shewn to him. He wished to shew it to Harris in writing, because Harris and I were not on speaking terms. Mr Rees said that he would expose J. S. Macfarlane, and possibly have him convicted for inciting to murder. The business of the mill had been previously settled by arbitra tion. Mr Rees did not say that if Mr Mao farlane was convicted certain advantages would result to my father. I swear that Mr Rees never said that good would arise to my father out of this action. Mr Rees objected to this mode of examina tion. It was simply badgering a witness. Witness continued : Mr Rees did say that the case would make no difference to our case. He said this because I objected to give evidence, as it would look like persecu tion on our part. Mr Rees is my father's solicitor. I know nothing of my father's terms with Mr Rees in the matter of remu neration. Mr Rees : Mr Hesketh can have my books if he wishes to look into these matters. Mr Hesketh : I don't want your books. Examination continued : I told my father of Mr Macfarlane's proposition, but not till after Mr Rees had spoken to me about it. I told my father of the matter before I signed the statement in Mr Rees' office, and believe that the proposition was intended to be car ried out. I had not been in Auckland for three years, onlj for a week or so, so that I had not the opportunity of speakingto my father on the subject of shooting. I know nothing personally about my father's pre senting a pistol at the head of young Mr Harris.

To Mr Reea : I left Whangapoa because I could not get a living there, and it was unsafe to live there any longer. I was not asked by any other person than J. S. Mac farlane to shoot young Harris. Owing to the absence of Major Keddell the case was adjourned until Monday morning at half-past ten o'clock.
