I don't recollect reading i ' "n! "articles in the newspapers about the [ i*ll*" eS er e were articles in the "Herald" "*!?' »Daily Southern Cross " all bearing B°nn this matter. "E" jj r Gillies: There was considerable fLnent when the papers containing the T«d libels came to the Thames. Those H-lcles caused considerable excitement, The Court adjourned for half-an-hour. The Court resumed at half-past 1 o'clock. William Fraser, cross-examined by Mr Hes v th- I reside at Tararu, the Thames. lam {Bent Magistrate for the District of ffooraki. This is my appointment. I have fl been acting in that capacity for five ears I was in A Pnl last Presi<iing in Srt when a charge was brought against banning under the Quartz Crushing Begula tion Act. On the occasion Manning was re presented by counsel. I adjudicated upon L charge in my capacity as Resident Magistrate for the district of Hauraki. I band the defendant guilty, and inflicted npon him the full penalty the law allows. To doing so I made some remarks on the retting up of the case against the accused. |he remarks that I thought the police had exceeded their duty as police in inducing a man to commit one crime so that they should gncceed in trapping another man in committ jp. a crime of the same description. All the police connected with the getting up of the *jge were present at the time. I saw the issues of the Evening- Star containing the libellous articles I complain of. (Newspapers produced.) These are the articles I complain of, The last article refers to an article written in the Thames Star on the subject. It says I was the writer of it. I never wrote or inspired it, and had nothing to do with the writing of it. I did not know who was the writer of it until the gentleman who is here ais a witness told me he had written it, I have never written or authorised any person to write to the Press directly or in directly from the beginning to the end. The article complained of charges me with sympathising with the offence. My motive in Baking the remarks was that I considered it was wrong for the police to get another person to commit a crime of the same descrip tion as the man was charged with committ ing—that it was not right, either in law or jnßtice. Those were the motives. The Court was crowded as it is always when there is a case connected with mining interests. I had no such object as to win applause. My object was to point out that I thought the police had exceeded their duty. On that occasion my sympathies were not against law and order. I have always as. listed the police. On one occasion my feelings in that direction led me to give a man twelve months' imprisonment, whereas Judge John ston told me he should only get six months. I considered the conduct of the police wrong, but it was no excuse for the conduct of the prisoner, and that it had no influence on my decision. I have no private feelings sgainst the defendants. I looked upon one of the defendants as a personal friend. The other is the Provincial Treasurer, and pays me my salary. All my sympathies wonld be the other way. I don't think it would be prudent " to kill the goose with the golden egg." Unless I had taken some steps to shew that these articles were not true, I would not consider myself fit to occupy the position I do. Cross-examined by MacCormick: It is made a crime by the Quartz Regulation Act to re fuse to give up the name when he was bring ing specimens to be crushed. I have the regulations before me when giving judgment. Ihe machine owner was in the dock on a (large of neglecting to enter the buying of the quartz. He was about to undergo a penalty. The machine owner was Manning then in the dock about to undergo a penalty of £200, or be imprisoned three months. Mr MacCormick : The Act required the machine-owner to impound the quartz on the person refusing to give his name. Witness : I had the Act before me ; it provided for bringing regulations into force. •The evidence of Cass was that Manning had asked him for his name and all informa toinreqnirep by the 4ct. He refused, and aftersome conversation these objections were got over, and tne giving of the name was to be dispensed. Manning crushed tho quartz. He was charged with not filling up the register. He was not brought up for refusing te givee evidence of Cass's refusal to give his name to him as the machine-owner when he brought the quartz. Mr MacCormick : Was the machine-owner not liable to a penalty of £50 for not giving uuormation to the poiice and impounding the "re, according to the regulations of the Act. Witness: Manning was then in the dock to answer a charge against him. They con doned the charge against Cass. Cass was the Witness to convict Manning. They could tot have convicted Manning without Cass. | Mr McCormick : Do you consider yourself justified in pronouncing your judgment, to 086 the language reported, a direct attack ttpon the police ? Witness: Yes j that was my opinion of % duty. I have not yet altered that opinion. There were a good many people in we Court. There might have been specimen »«alers among the audience ; they might be »we or anywhere. There were several cases previousto this brought against machine own £■• The Act came into force in July, 1873. J-heßank of New Zealand had been convic •Mof the offence of delaying to make the ™try, and mulcted in a penalty. They were S^to4 of an offence under the Act, under *Mch I could impose a penalty of £5, which penalty I did impose. I believe there was Sow 0886 against the WiUoughby Keduc n w °rks which broke down. I never saw thJw° mments on tlie case until a£ter l saw we evening Star. I did not see articles in ww or Zerald before the publication of the 2 i? the AQckland Star. I would not 2 ""cles in the Cross, Herald, or Thames Adverser plainly censuring me. Bn^T • J onor wished to know the object of Bnch evidence.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Freeman's Bay hotel before Dr. Philson and a jury on the body of Henrietta, a yonng Maori woman who was supposed to have been murdered on the 13th inst.

Mr W.

The jury having viewed the body of de ceased —Pirikr, a native, was called, and hav ing been sworn deposed : I am a native man without regular occupation, residing at Orakei. I knew deceased, and on Tuesday last I was in town. On the previous day I had a conversation with deceased, and on the Tuesday evening I returned to Orakei at dusk, and went to my house, and pulled off my coat, and went according to promise to meet Henrietta Pukema. I found her at the cooking - house, with two native and a half-caste. I shewed them my likeness Henrietta went out and I followed. We went to the back of the kitchen. She caught me by the back and said, "Let us go to Chapman's house." We went there and went to sleep on a bed. Newton, the accused, now in custody, came into the house. That is the man (pointing to accused). We were both awake at the time. Newton felt about and caught hold of my hip. There was no light in the house. He said, " Who is this ?" when deceased pinched me that I should not say who was with him. Newton called out three times, but I did not answer. He then said, " Who is with you 1" when I replied, " Only my old woman," meaning his own wife. The enquiry was proceeding as our reporter left, and will probablyjbe finished to-morrow
