Bffecoe, and a candle lighted for the purpose of seeing who the man was that was injured. Bingiori examined the deceased, and then went for a constable. After he h d gone for a constable, the two prisoners f a,, deceased on a form. I told them to get Borne water to wash his face. Pascoe went to the well and got some water, and Dobbins held the candle while Pascoe washed tie face of deceased. Deceased partly fell from the form, but never spoke from the moment he was struck by Pascoe. The prisoners then left the house and went to the Queen's Head Hotel, but Mr Adams' would not serve them. I fol lowed them to the hotel; they then went to the Army and Navy Hotel, where they had some more drink. I still followed them. They had a shilling's worth of beer. They returned to the house of Katherine and went in. Constable Maroney was in the house and nr^_^lcb^Rhe constable asked the Pri/!jgird7 Bif \hej had done it, but they dbnfed it. I told the constable that prisoners had done it in their presence. There was an old Maori man in the house drunk at the time on abed. Katheripe was also drunk in another bedroom. I believe the prisoners, though not sober, knew per fectly well what they were about. Deceased was also under the influence of liquor, [Left sitting.]

AMUSEMENTS.

EOYAL ENGLISH OPEBA,

On Monday evening next the English Opera Company, recently from other shores, will commence a series of performances with Wallace's highly popular and universally admired opera of " Maritana," at the Prince of Wales Theatre, the representative character being Miss Alice May, who has achieved a splendid success in other lands. We notice that for this great occasion that the theatre has been entirely renovated, and a pay-office for dress circle erected up stairs, with cloak-room and other conveniences. The scenery in harmony with the opera has been painted by Mr Willis and his assistants. Ushers will be in attendance. Mr M. L Raphael, the general agent, has been most energetic in the inter ests of the Opera Company since he has been here, and has hit upon a capital idea in the production of an Entree Act, which will be issued nightly, and contain the programme of the opera. To relieve the tedium of in tervals between the acts readings of a light nature will be introduced into the publication.

CALIFORNIA MIKSTRELS. There was a large attendance at the City Hall last evening to witness the wonderful performances of the California Minstrels, who are certainly the most talented among the several companies which has ever ap peared in Sew Zealand. The programme was similar to that of the previous evening, and executed with life and spirit. The songs of Messrs Amery, Rockefeller, and Kelly elicited great applause, as did also " Essie dear," a sweetly pathetic song by Mr Mayor, and " When the band begins to play" by Mr Sutton ; Mr Rockfellow was very sweet in in " Sweet Home "on the banjo. This is indeed a magnificent feat, which requires tho nicest senses of both touch and hearing to draw forth such wondrous melodies as this skilled minstrel elicited from the banjo. The " Watermelon Man," not a highly classical performance, but still very taking, was performed with the usual hilarious re sults; also "First round for John." Mr Hermann was very graceful on the violin, and the whole finished with the lively bur lesque of " Kill Trovatore " PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE. Mr Foley's very agreeable Magnet Troupe of singers and dancers repeated their pro gramme last evening with success. The "Happy Pair," a lively little comedietta, was repeated and pleasantly received by a select audience. Miss and Master Foley were as interesting as ever in their character songs. The entertainment this evening will be given for the benefit of Mr Foley, when " Sam Slick, the Yankee Pedlar,' 1 from Judge Halliburton's work, will be presented. As this is the last night of this excellent troupe we ttust they wUI meet with a fair measure of success. TONIC SOL-EA SOIREE. The social soiree in connection with the Tonic Sol-fa system of singing for young persons, in which Messrs French and Bloom field have laboured long and successfully, was held last evening in the school-room next to Mr Comfort's. About two hundred persons fiat down to a good tea. Ml* F. G. Ewington was subsequently Called to the dhair, and introduced the amusements of fine evening in a neat and carefully worded speech. The choir was led by Mr French, and sang " Let the hills resound," and other sacred and secular pieces, in a very creditable manner, tteadings Were sueceusfully given by Messrs Bloomfield, Graham, Wells, afld Dottll, and a most agreeable entertainment closed With the " National Anthem." POUSONBY HALL, „ The geand secular concert announced by the flou-fishing rMisical Society of Ponsonby was given last evening to a Wow'd£d audience. The concert opened with a beautiful chSrtiii from " Massaniello," which was rendered in a most effective manner. Several ladies were highly successful with their ballads, which were given in finished style. " Love's Re quest" and " Silver Chimes" were well ren dered arid lotidly applauded. . The melodies upon the violiri were exquisite and highly complimentary t© the abilities of the Violinist. The chorus from "Ernani" was given with great credit. The second part of the concert ooncluded with a duet of a pleasing character from "Oberon," a'gtee ("The Captive Greek Girl"), "The Exile," "Sweet and Low," and "Why do I watch the lone, lone deep?" We iflay Bay that the doneert was, in every respect, highly creditable to the Ponsonby musical society, and shewed what may be done by constant attention under a skilful conductor such as Mr Mitchell unquestion ably is.

I SIAMESE CIRCUS. This novel entertainment was very well patronised last night, the large tent being nearly full of spectators. The amusement I provided has certainly the merit of being varied. It consist of horsemanship and tumbling, in addition to Siamese juggling and wire walking. The performances are also varied in quality. Some are very good, espe cially the tricks of the Asiatics ; others are | very indifferent, notably the horsemanship I and tumbling. In regard to the last-named feats one of our contemporaries made a very i unjust reflection on Mr Smith's Com bination Troupe when it remarked that ; the tumbling of the youngsters at the \ market^?" ~'i was better than that lately 1 seen at^f We must say that the \ preference in our opinion is the other way. H The bamboo balancing, ball and flying stick | tricks were the features of the evening, and I caused great astonishment. We are uucertain | whether the wire-walker is a lady or gentle- I man ; there is a pleasing ambiguity about \ the Japanese costume which renders the dis- I tinction rather difficult. However, he or she I has mastered the art of maintaining his or her jf equilibrium under difficulties in an extra | ordinary way. The programme is unduly I long. During some of the more lengthy I performances a. tendency to yawn was 1 noticeable in the audience. Mr South I last night took the hitherto vacant role $j °l down, and when we consider that the I jlno Uj 68t%1y n«w to this gentleman he

must be congratulated oi his success. We understand that negotiations are on foot for the engagement of Mr Foley in this capacity. This gentleman is well known for his talents in the funny line, and we shall be glad to hear of his donning the red and white. The proprietors of the circus would find it to their own interest to provide doorkeepers who know how to behave themselves. The individual who had charge of the stall en trance, last night does not come under this category. VlylAN COMIQUE COMPANY. The Vivian Comique Company will give a final performance at Onehunga on Tuesday next. Since the last entertainment the company has been much strengthened by the addition of Mr Harry Shapter.and others.

DUNEDIN.

This day.

A fire occurred last night at the premises of Mr A. __._. Hay, draper, Princes-street, near the Octagon. The building is of brick, and the fire bri gades and others who assisted were thus able to confine the fire to the place where it originated. The whole of Mr Hay's stock was however destroyed, and some goods removed from the adjoining premises occupied by Hogg and Huttou were damaged. These are covered by an insurance policy of £1,000 in the Nor wich Union Office.

Hay's stock, which is a total loss, was in sured in the Victoria for £1000, and in the Alliance for £1000.

The buildings, which are partially destroyed, were insured in the South British for £1000, Liverpool and London £1000, and Lancashire £500.

The cause of the fire is unknown. Sup posed to have been a defective stove. No one was on the premises. The building was gutted. Hogg and Hutton's goods were chiefly damaged by water. A writ was served to-day on the directors of the Otago Daily Times at the suit of Judge Ward for £2,000 damages for publishing tele grams which plaintiff alleges are forgeries. The case need not have come into Court if the directors had apologised and assisted Judge Ward in the detection of the forgery.
