of a conviction. He had never given the matter a thought. He had shewn no more zeal in this than any other case. He knew Mr Montague. He did not tell him that he expected to get £300 out of this affair. He and Mr Montague had a conversation about the present case, and in a jocular manner Mr Montague said, "I suppose you will get £50 out of Brown's case" ; when I re plied, "Yes, perhaps more." He did not say £300, as he had the entire getting-up of the case.

His Honor hoped that counsel would keep as near as possible to the important points at issue, and not waste time in bringing in a lot of chit-chat as to what this or that per son said. Witness continued : He received instruc tions to arrest the prisoner after the issuing of the warrj^t. He gave the whole of the informatior 3. obtained to Mr Broham. He went tosf. v' - pkins, and he must have told Mr J?^>crrr'"&_ri3 result of his seeing him, but he couy^ot detail every word that he said to Mr i^\ am in the prosecution of the case. It was a. ._ prisoner was arrested that he saw Hopkins. He also went and saw a man named Killion, who told him that he saw a man run round Queen-street corner towards Fort-street just before the fire-bell rang. He told Mr Broham of these interviews. He had heard of another person sitting at Must's door on the night of the fire. His Honor said this was not evidence, only a rumour, and he could not take it down.

Witness met Mrs Gleeson] by Quick's stables after the bundle was found. They had a con vre satiou chiefly about Hawkins. She was anxious about a letter which she expected he had delivered to Hawkins. She wished him to go across to Albert-street as she was afraid she was being watched by some of the Brown family. She was disappointed when she found that the letter had not been de livered. She said she had told Mr Joy about searching the house. She said that Mr Joy said he had broken Mr Broham down, and he would break witness down as well in his evidence. He did not say he cannot unless you tell him all about it. He had a long chat with her, and she professed to dis close her conversation with Mr Joy about a kerosene tin, and that he would endeavour to obtain a reward of £50 for her in the specimen-stealing case. She also said that Brown's people had their eye upon her, and she had been watched about like a cat ever since it was known that she had been to the police station. She further said that she was not allowed to look at a news paper in the house, and all writing material had been put oHt of the way. A week pre viously she had called at the police station and given her the letter. (The letter was here produced by ..Jeffrey (unsealed), but not read in Court.) Sergt. O'Connor accompanied her to the station, and Mr Brown was on the other side of the street.

To Mr Brookfield : She was allowed to remain at the station until Mr Brown had gone away. There was no collusion between him and Catherine Gleeson, nor with any person in regard to this case ; nor did he know how the bundle got into the place where it was found. He had not received any information as to how the bundle got there from any other person, nor did he have any hand in making it up. Gleeson wished him not to tell Brown's people who she was, as she told them that she had come from the Southj she did not wish the story of her adventures to be made known to the family. He did not know that he would be entitled to any portion of the reward in the event of a conviction, nor could he receive any private rewards without consent of his superior officers. The bundle was heavier at first than now, probably because it had been kept in a dry room ; he did not make a minute search among the stones. The prisoner was suspected, which induced him to write to the woman Gleeson.

Thomas Dufaur, James Butterworth, George Daniels, George Frederick Longdale, F. E. Fitts, and R. A; Boyd also gave evi dence chiefly with reference to having met the prisoner just after the fire, and that they saw no one running away.

AMUSEMENTS.

CAIiE-ORNIA MINSTBEXS.

The keen appreciation of these interesting minstrels by the general public does not seem to diminish, but, on the other hand, seems to win daily favour. The hall was quite fall last night, a remarkable fact when there were so many other attractions being pre sented at the same hour. We need scarcely ■ay that the ballads, music, and comic repre sentation-were quite equal in merit to those of preceding nights. The entertainment altogether was eminently successful. the cißaus. . There was a,very fair attendance last sight to witness the medley scenes of the Circus. The various tricks so interesting to young persons,were repeated ; also, the tournament and the fine spectacular represen tation of Mazeppa, which will be presented again this evening by the Collier Dramatic Company. Our young friends will remember that to-morrow evening will be the last of this popular Circus.

This day. In the Warden's Court to-day judgment was to have been given, and an order made of the proportion of the City of London drainage contribution to the Pumping Asso ciation.

In consequence of the arrangement between the Bright Smile Company and the Association:: the, difficulty regarding |the proportion of drainage was obviated. The Whau has 701bs of good picked stuflf to-day. '"'-,'''• The Sons of Freedom crushed 34 tons for 26 ozs 10 dwts.|,'.' The Bright Smile return melted is 899 ozs sdwts.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon in the new offices of the Board in Graham's buildings, Fort-street. It was stated that a letter had been sent to Messrs. Clark and Roid, of Hobart Town, desiring them to forward to the Board information as to cost, etc ,_ of hydraulic lifti for cleaning and repairing vessels. A communication was read from the committee in relation to the pro posed telegraphic connection of Tiri tiri and Auckland. The report stated that the project would be too costly both in construction and maintenance for them to recommend its being carried out. The cost of the land line was estimated at £50 per mile, and the cable at £2000. Several other reports were presented and adopted. It was stated that the present offices had - been leased for seven years at a rental not to exceed £200 per annum. It was agreed to let to Mr Harker, for the purpose of establishing a kiln there, two of the allotments at Barnabas' Point. The par ticulars of receipts and-expenditure for the quarter ending June 30,1874, were laid upon the table. The receipts amount to £2,402, showing an increase over the quarter ending June, 1873, of £390, and £276 over March, 1874.

Mr Daldy moved for the appointment of a joint committee of the City Council and the Harbour Board to take measures with regard to drainage. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN. Mr Daldy then withdrew from the chair, upon which it was proposed by Mr Boylan and seconded by Mr Kissling, "That Mr Daldy be re-elected chairman of the Harbour Board." This was carried unanimously. Mr Daldy returned thanks. Mr Philips then tendered his resignation as a member of the Board, and received a vote of thanks for his past services. •. i The meeting then adjourned.

MR REES' CANDIDATURE.

(To the Editor of the Stab.) Sib,— -I count it proper and important that electors generally should give free expression in some shape and form to their opinions on current political topics and moves; and I reckon it injurious, the main cause of the much and often complained of apathy here that so very commonly when the people do take a prominent part in their own- politics they either get ridiculed or bullied. There is truly- another and very different cause for the manifested dislike by respectable people to ordinary politics, especially to electioneering, namely violence and tumultuous intolerance of difference in opinion. " Fair play is a jewel."- These general observations are designedly introduotory to a notice of Mr Rees' advertisement in the Stab. At the last superin tendental election I remember that I happened to differ from him on one particular point, which was only about the merits and demerits of the then candidates. Notwithstanding I am glad he has consented te oome forward as a candidate to represent in. the General Assembly of the colony of New Zealand the Auckland distriot of Wai temata. He would be an acquisition to our Auckland membership power in the House. He has undeniably three special invaluable qualifications for a member. He is, first,' thoroughly independent; second, he has the gift of utterance, is fluent of speech; and third, he is courageous, plucky, I hope therefore the people will at least give him a fair and candid hearing to-night. I may most likoly wish soon to say mora with reference especially to the three present candidates.—l am, etc., W. E. Sadlkb.

THE OLD WHAU COMPANY.

To the Editor of Evening Star. Sir,—-It is upwards of two years since a winding-up order was. obtained in the above company, and a liquidator was ap pointed, and yet no settlement has been urired at, although I understand on the sale of the mine there was more than sufficient money in hand to have cleared off its liabilities, quite independent of the call, payment of which in the majority of cases has been evaded in consequence of his neglect in not enforcing its recovery under the old Act. A» a ahareholder will yen permit me to ask the liquidator through yonr columns what has become of the moneys in hand for the past two years, and why he does not wind-up the cobapany and pay shareholdera the refund due to them. Ir it that nw businwi appointment* take ty W .. ,' - *■■•-.■■ --: ' •>: >. :j^ ..

muchg of his [time ? If so, why doeß he not transfer the - trust, so that a settlement may be arrived at. For my own part 1 await his reply prior to taking effectual steps to compel him to do so.— Yours, &c, A Shareholder.
