and stoop (town and strike a match. He re- j moved his hat to. screen the flame from the j wind. Immediately afterwards I saw a I blaze. I asked him if he could describe the J appearance of the man. He said "It was dark and I could rot see his face ; but he had a hard felt hat on like his," pointing to a ' boy in the crowd. I asked why did you not run up and seize the man ? He replied, I could not. He ran away. I asked why did you not run after him, and call " fire, thief," or anything to attract the people. He said, I was so flurried that I did not known what to ; do, but I presently ran down and called out . fire. I then informed Sergeant Major Pardy j of what Brown had told me, and he called Brown, and Detective Jeffrey took him away with him. Joseph McMullen Dargaville onbeing sworn deposed : I am a merchant carrying on busi ness in Shortland-street under the style of Must and Co. I know the premises where the fire was on the 11th June. At that date Must and Company were the lessees and occupiers of the premises. To Mr Joy : I was the captain of the com pany of Volunteers of which prisoner was a member. There was no ill-feeling between us, and I also considered him a well-behaved lad.

James Butterworth, billiard-marker at the Q.C.E., deposed that he was in the billiard room on the night of the 11th June ; he heard the cry of fire and ran down stairs, when the fire-bell rang. He ran across to the store. There were about a dozen at the store, but none at the bottom of Shortland street. I knew the three young men who were in the billiard-room, they left about two minutes before me. I was the first inside the store, and put out the flame with my coat. There was a large blaze, but I could not tell what quantity of kerosene might have caused it. Doran was there, and also a policeman, but I could not say which.it was.

Walter R. Hunter was sworn and deposed: I am a music-master residing off Drake street. I know the accused. I remember the evening of the 11th June. The accused was not at my house on that night. I had been in his company that night in the Drill-shed. I left him between nine and half-past by the Masonic hotel. 'He plays the cornet as one of the Volunteers. He has taken lessons from me, but not on the night of the fire. mJaes Faulkner, messenger in the Bank of New Zealand, was then called, and stated : I met the young man Brown at the Post office on the 16th June, when he told me with reference to the fire that he saw the man run away from Must's store, but that in the excitement of the moment he did not know what to do. I asked him if he would recognise the man if brought face to face ? He appeared to hesitate at first, but subse quently said " No." I've got my reasons for that. Adding if that man was prosecuted and found guilty I should not be safe walk ing in the streets of Auckland. The case was then adjourned until to-mor row.

AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCE OB1 WALES THEATRE,

The Magnet Troupe of minstrels and star artists had an excellent reception last even ing at this theatre. There was a very good house, and the character representations of the Foley Family were satisfactorily per formed. The "boneless boy" again went through his wonderful contortions in a manner which amazed and gratified the audience. The entertainment, in its en tirety, was highly applauded, and another distribution of prizes took place.

TITIRANOI AMATEURS,

The Whau Public Hall was fully attended last night The picturesque delineations of Irish life as described in " Handy Andy" were given in a very creditable manner by the associated amateurs of the Whau and Anckland. The ballads and recitations, save in one or two instances, gave satisfaction. A nigger sketch, " Les Miserables," a kind of burlesque on Victor Hugo's work of that name, was fairly rendered, and the whole wound up with dancing, which closed at a reasonable hour.

CALIFORNIAN MINSTRELS.

This well-known company of vocalists and musicians announce their first concert this evening at the City Hall. The pro gramme promises a treat of no mean order. The first part will comprise an overture by the minstrels, a series of songs and ballads, comic and sentimental, to conclude with the " Bells." The second will embrace selections and a chorus, and the " Water-melon Man." Mr Eockefeller will also perform on the banjo, and Mr Sutton will appear in his favorite ong and dance, while Mr Herman will give a violin solo. The whole will conclude with the interesting dramatic piece, entitled " Kill Trovatore, or Scenes at the Gorge."
