He saw him on the SSgofoe 12th of March at half-past six outside his hut ; he had been drinking heavily for two or three days at Southgate's,; and'he believed he was suffering from deli rium tretnens. He heard him making a ■dreadful howling, and then saw him running about with a good deal of blood on his shirt. \He said he had seen strange .visions of beau tiful females dancing about in the bushes, and he appealed in a very wild state. He subsequently saw him return to his own hut After-he had got in he said there had been twelve murders committed there; he was about fifteen yards off, and heard him distinctly. He said that he had stabbed himself through Mrs Mill, and he would die for her. He too* the knive away from him, •when he exclaimed that had the knive heen sharper he would have done it clean. £c then ran to the well about fifty yards from his hut. It contained eight feet of water. He ran after him, and just as he lifted the lid, he, witness, caught prisoner by the arm and pulled him back. He then assisted in taking him to Mahurangi, as he was not, apparently, capable of taking care of himself; This being all the evidence, The prisoner addressed the jury and said that he had been drinking previously and was not conscious of his actions at the time j his case should have been settled at the Police Court and never should have been brought to the Supreme Court. He had no thing more to say. . ..... . . ; His Honor then reviewed the \evidence at length, and the jury retired at three o'clock, and at ten minutes past three returned with the-verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. The Court therefore ordered that the prisoner be kept in custody to awaib her Majesty's pleasure. :

Henry Arthur Collins, who deposed-I am the son of Samuel Yeoman Collins, Sheriff's Officer, residing in Hepburn-street I am at present at school, at the Grammar School, and am fifteen years old. On Easter Mon ??/„• the ' Gth tost., I, in company with William Gome, aged 13, Edward Clements Collins (my brother) ~ aged 12, and Joseph John Garty (the deceased)—aged 14 left home at half-past six in the morning, taking with us two Government carbines, one them in charge of myself and the other in charge of Wm. Gome, with the intention of having a day s shooting at the Titirangi ranges. We arrived there about noon, and stopped by the side of a stream for lunch. Soon after Joseph Garty and myself went on a little distance to shoot anything we could see. We only took" one carbine. We entered the bush, intending to shoot anthing that came in range. We had two or three shots. I fired first at a bird. I then handed the carbine to deceased to load for himself. The carbine was loaded with ball when I fired. The cartridge was^ similar to those used at the rifle range. Deceased loaded with small shot and fired at a fan-tail. We then returned back to. where we had at first stopped, and found our companions there. They went out then with the other rifle, using the same ammunition, that is ball cart ridge. We heard one shot fired, and not hearing another shot for a long time deceased and myself following them, and found my brother cutting supple jacks while Wm. Gorrie was standing by. We all then re turned to where we had first left, and going back we proposed to fire at some trees. I cannot say who first proposed it. [Left sitting.]

They have arrived at Sydney, but how they contrived to escape and all other particulars :at present remains a mystery. They are re served and give no information for fear of implicated their friends who aided the escape. Ko doubt the whole affair was well planned. On British soil they are safe as political re fugees.

The elections, first batch of 24 members resulted in a -majority against the Govern ment, on the Constitutional Qustion. Four new members were returned, and four others who were previously in the House. The other members were re-elected.

Judge Williams has sent in his resignation, and claims a pension of £1500 a year, being half-salary.
