befo re last Christmas. I remained in the house with Farrow until next morning. Ex amined by the Bench : 1 had slept with Faro ;11 previously to that date. During the five "months I stopped at the hotel, I often coha bit^ with Farrell, on the understanding he t fxu -CO majry me. /Ie never refused to man jy me, but t<M-me he would marry me befp re Christmas. ...He left Ngaruawahia, and 1 have not seen him since. Mi -s Lizzie Wilkinson deposed that she now resid ed in Auckland, but at the latter end of last year she lived at Ngaruawahia. She kne^ 7 the plaintiff and defendant; one was wait' sr, and the other housemaid at the Delta Hofi -. They came to my house one n igh fc in November. The plaintiff said she would not go back to the hote 1, and he was to go away directly. Win sn I woke in the morning, the plaintiff was there, but the defendant had gone. There were two rooms in my house. After letting thei n in on the night in question, I turned into ■ bed ; they sat on the edge of my bed all nigl it. J &.v Russell addressed the Court, giving his opi: aion as to corroborative testimony in cases of this kind.

. 'he Bench then retired for upwards of hal f-an-hour, and, on resuming their seats, ad, journed their decision until 10 a.m. to morrow. A VICIOUS DOG. '. Mrs Owen, of Wakefield-street, was called to answer to a summons for being the owner of a certain dog which rushed at one Ida Bi irslem, whereby her limbs were endangered, on. the Ist instant.

Mr Fry stated that the dog was his, and not Mrs Owen's. The dog was a quiet one ge aierally. The jacket which the girl wore when at tacked waß produced, and bore evidence of hiving been torn. Mr Fry desired to know whether it was with the claws or teeth of the dofe the damage was done. The dog was only frisky.

Mr Broham : I have heard several com plaints against this dog, and think it ought to be shot.

The Bench fined the owner of the dog 10s, and costs.

THE NEW MAIL SERVICE.

Messrs. Owen and Graham are to inaugu rate the agency of the new mail service. At present the agency only extends to the first steamer, the Mikado, which, according to the new arrangement, will leave Dunedin for San Francisco on the 17th of November, and Auckland on the 22nd of November. The A..S.N. Company are at present advertising t?he Mikado to leave for San Francisco on the 29th of October as the last boat of the in terim contract, but it.is nearly certain that some other boat, probably the Cyphrenes, will take her place. The Mikado belongs to Mr. McGregor, who is one of the sureties of the Pacific Mail Company in their contract, anxl it it therefore only natural that the new contractors should work to inaugurate the service with one of their own boats.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

GISBORNE.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Saturday, Destructive Storm.

On Saturday last the fiercest storm within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants passed over Gisborne. Buildings were un roofed, and in some oases blown to the ground. Scarcely a soul ventured out in the Btreets during the day. A cutter which was moored to a high tree on the river bank, tore it up by the roots. Other casualties are reported. Fences are lying flat on the ground in all directions, and a number of drowned cattle, sheep, and pigs were floating down the river. Paora Pukerakuka, a native, in trying to rescue his horse during a heavy fresh, was nearly drowned. Biting a Constable. A man who was recently imprisoned for biting two fingers off the hand of the arrest ing constable, and swallowing the same, has escaped from the lock-up across the river. The police are trying to hunt him down. A prize pugilistic fight, in European style, came off between Doole Prou and L. Hia, a notorious Chinaman lately imported, near Mungatu, for £25 a-side. The Chinaman was-conquered, and has since left the dis- Jbict.

Bad Weather.

The : Ladybird has arrived, and reports very bad weather all round, and having had a southerly gale from Lyttelton. She was 28 hours from thence.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Saturday. The Serious Charge of Perjury. The criminal sittings of the Supreme Court terminated last night at 11 o'clock when Eliza Smith was acquitted of perjury after three days' trial, during which the most barefaced perjury was committed. Mr Buckley defended thegir], and said the case was practically another trial of Cameron for rape, as the prosecution attempted to prove that the offence had never been com mitted. A man called Jeffs, a seedsman, was the principal prosecutor. Mr Buckley said Jeffs and Mrs Cameron, wife of the convict, had for weeks concocted this case ; that Jeff's evidence was contradicted on every point, and was so utterly contemptible that it could not be credited. The Chief Justice after the jury had given a verdict of "not guilty," directed certain of the wit nesses for the prosecution to be brought before him, and told them that he had the power to commit them all for trial for per jury, but would leave it to the House to decide what steps should be taken with regard to them. The sentence passed on Cameron for rape, instead of being too heavy, was far too light.

DEATH AT THE ASYLUM.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Whau Lunatic Asylum, before Dr. Goldsbro' and a jury, on the body of an inmate who died yesterday morning named Cahill. The unfortunate man was a native of Colligan, and had been in the colony for a number of years, working mostly in the bush. Some six months ago he was admitted an inmate of the Asylum ; suffering from a disease of the brain. Irom the period of his admission he gradually sank, and yesterday he died. The evidence of the attendants and that of Dr. Aicken shewed that the man had every attention and necessaries as his case seemed to require. The jury having briefly con sidered the evidence, returned a verdict, " That deceased died from natural causes."

Message from the Sea.

When the brigantine Byn o left for the Islands on Thursday last, we dispatched on board one of our carrier pigeons. As the bird was away three days we were beginning to be ap prehensive that the thick weather had pre vented him finding his way home, but the faithful little messenger turned up safe and sound yesterday afternoon with his billet of news, having travelled about 80 miles. The message contains the diary of the Byno's movements during the last three days, which we give, as it may be interesting for our readers to know, what kind of weather has been experienced outside during the time.

AMUSEMENTS.

MUSICAL AND SYLLABIC FJNTfIRTAINMENT. The musical competition and spelling bee enter tainment will be held this eve ling in the large room of the Young Men's Christian £ ssociation, when three prize sewing machines, from Mr Dennes's newly imported stock, -will be given to the best singers, and one to the best speller. Among the young ladies who have entered their names are some really excellent vocalists-such as Miss Vaughan and Miss Beale, of the St. Paul's choir ; also, Mrs Powley, Miss Kate Howard, and Miss Edger, all good singers; so that the meeting, apart from other considerations, will be extremely interesting. THE CIRCUS. This taking and very agreeable entertainment will be repeated this tveuing with additional attractions, including the beautiful ponies and sensible horses.edu cated dogs and monfeeys and witty clowns Th« weather on Saturday was too rainy and boisterous for the repre sentations of the wonderful feats ot tils animals. Mr Barlow, therefore, will endeavour to make up for the disappointment to-night, and has dete;mined further, in consideration of the juvenile portion of the com munity who were disappointed on Saturday after noon, to give his promised mid-day performance on Wednesday next. PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE. The smart little comedy of " Woodcock's Little Game" constituted the first portion of tho theatre performance on Saturday night. The sparkling pro duction went capitally, the "Mrs Larkins' of Cany George, and the " Woodcock" of Mr Lawrence tho roughly embcdyisg the popular ideals of those parts. Mrs Seaile as <_'arv«-r was most amusing. The bur lesque of the " ISymph of the Lurleyburg" followed, at-d again elicited loud applause. The operatic music: was effectively performed, and the cast through out exhibited * perfectness in all the details which was most gratifying. Miss t.lara Stephenson acquitted herself admirably in the part of the reckless Sir Rupert, and Miss Morgan got on swimmingly in the rOle of the river nymph, Lurlin-". The audience was numerous, and went home in a thoroughly contented frame of mind, which is saying a good deal for such a wretched night. To night the sensational drama of "The Willow Pond" is to be produced with special accessories. iERIAL AIREC. At the Paraell Hall ihis evening, the wonderful Airec will rise above the heads of the people, and occupy for a time the regions of air, and perform wonders beyond ani thing hitherto attempted on thi* side the earth. A talented troupe of artists will lend their active aid in making this entertainment success ful, and sing Irish song 3 from the repositories of MnoreandLover ; ventiloquism,, music and acrobatism will give variety and life to the affair, nnd to crown the whole a grand ball will set the audience dancing through the night. THE GRAND ASSAULT AT ARM". This entertainment, got up lor the benefit of a retired teacher in adverse circumstances, was not well attended. Ihe weather was unfavourable, however, which always has a deadening influence ; ana it may be, that the sport, being rather ancient, has lest its charruH with the majority. Tlie gentlemen who stepped foith, however, were not to be daunted by the weather, but set-to in a maimer which would not have .dh credited the fistic and punch-heart-men, and nose pounders of the days of Cribb and Spring The introductory scene was between Mr. Davis of Parnell, and an amateur, which wts an effective display of physical science in that line Th- next scene was a boxing competition for a modal, in which six competi tors entered, and after several splendid feats of strength, Mr. Browa ot Parnell was unanimously declared to be the victor. The finishing touch was between Mr. Davis and the it. struct or of the lo^al gymnasium, in which a gicat deal of art was displayed to the immense interest of the spectators. At the close, Mr. Davis stated that he would shcrtly give lessons in the muscular art of boxing and wrestling, an announcement that was received wiih applause.
