Jiead them. He saw no blows struck, neither on the cows or on the lad. His Worship stated there were several in accuracies in the boy's evidence as to the blow. He believed the boy was struck with the whip very lightly. Case dismissed, each party to pay its own costs. In . " NOT FOR JOSEPH." / Joseph Kenealy was charged with receiv 'iDg-«ertain cattle, on the 10th inst, the pro perty of David Kenealy, from the ranges of Eemuera Bighway District, the cattle having been seized on their way to the Newmarket Public Pound. This was a case arising from the previous pne of assault. A mistake having been made in the sum mons, the name being John Joseph Kenealy instead of Joseph, the defendant did not appear. A long discussion ensued between counsel on the point as to whether the information could be amended, and as to the mode of service of summons. His Worship ruled that the summons had not been properly worded, owing to the error in name. Mr. Hesketh m r,de an application for costs in both cases. » His Worship thought that the parents were honest in the belief that the lad had been assaulter/, and would therefore also dismiss this c,ase each party paying their own costs. The Cou.rt then adjourned.

THE VAGARIES OF COWS.

A SOENE IN THE HARBOUR TO-DAY,

TlflE cow is not usually an amphibious animal, and when it takes to the water like a duck fthe specimen is worth preserving. A party rt)f cows which came up from Mercury Islands yesterday in the Rowena for Mr Fitzgerald ;at the North Shore, evinced this morning a decided tendency in this direction. Ifc was :intended to convey the cows to the other ,side in the Takapuna, and for that purpose the Ferry steamer was brought alongside the Rowena shortly before noon. One of the cows was slung on board, and prepara tions were being made for slinging JN'o. 2, when No. 1 took it into his head to make a clean jump overboard. The stream was jjj/raing up, and the animal floated through tthe wharf and up the harbour, plying his legs like an accomplished Newfoundland dog. He was chased by the Rowena's boat and his course turned for the reclaimed land west of the wharf, where he landed, his actions after getting on terra firma being plainly indicative of disgust at his swimming propensities being interfered with. While the boat was away chasing the runaway, another cow jumped overboard in exactly the same manner ; but this time the animal was captured before he could strike out, and was hoisted on board. Mr Fitzgerald had better keep a sharp look out over these COWS.

CYRUS HALEY!

Particulars of His Escape.

Inquest on the Body.

An inquest on the body of Cyrus Haley, who was shot dead while attempting to escape from gaol, was held at the Dunedin Gaol, when the following evidence was

given : —

Dr. Hocton, the Coroner, said from the evidence thafc would be brought before the jury, they would learn that he was a man that for a long time led a very criminal and vicious life, and therefore he (the Coroner) presumed that Haley's violent death was in some unison with the character of his life. At the same time it behoved the jury care fully to enquire whether the warder, who certainly was empowered to shoot a prisoner attempting to escape—had or had not acted wantonly—whether or not it was wantonly done, because the law did not suppose that a prisoner should be shot needlessly or with any wantonness.

James Caldwell, governor of Her Majesty's Gaol, Dunedin, gave evidence regarding Haley's reception into Dunedin Gaol, and the sentences which he was doing. Witness produced the weapon which Haley took with him when he bolted in ] 873. It was a heavy iron rule, 2ft. long, with a sharp edge, and which could be wielded like a sword He had not the opportunity of using it on Warder Hagen. as Mr Orbell on that occasion came to the officer's assistance, and Haley was secured. He made application to Mr Strode that as his wife and family were about to arrive from home he did not wish them to see him manacled like a felon, and the irons were then taken off in consequence of his good conduct. Witness always considered Haley dangerous, and thej^warders had had Special instructions to look after him. On the very morning that Haley was shot he, in giving the sergeant instructions, made special mention of Haley. Witness had no suspicion that he contemplated escape ; it was only on Sunday that he (witntss) cau tioned deceased about his conduct. He seemed annoyed about his three children being in the Reformatory. Sergt. Outram deposed to the alarm feeing raised, and the steps taken. Warder NichoN son shouted, "Haley's off!" Haley had been working under witness's charge for 18 months or nearly two yeaas. He conducted himself well as a working prisoner, was polite and obedient. Witness notwithstanding con sidered he was one of the most dangerous prisoners. He would not trust him to go on the top of the hill unless there was a warder with him.

John Caruthers Nicholson, warder: At about a quarter or twenty minutes past seven on Monday mornine, I saw Haley spring from behind a large stone. He ran up the slope of the hill. I observed when he was half-way up that he had no trousers on only his drawers. I instantly called cut that Haley was runaing away. Sergeant Outram called to Segeant N'Namara to follow instantly. By this time Haley had juet cleared the top. In about a quarter of a minute after Haley cleared the top, I heard the first shot fired. Six or seven seconds afterwards, I heard another shot fired. Then there was a long pause I should say half a minute or a minute—and I heard the third shot fired. Ha'ey conducted him self pretty well so far as I know,, but he was of rather a restless disposition. I considered him very dangerous, being a man that if he made his mind up to do a thing, would carry it out. He had a very determined manner. Warder Miller vsas called. The Coroner : I don't know whether you would rather not give evidence. I need not say there is no charge against you. Still, I do not know what may proceed from the enquiry, and if you like you need not give evidence.

Warder Miller : I wish to give evidence. James Miller : lam a warder in the gaol at Dunedin. I was on duty at Bell Hill on Monday morning. I was stationed about tnid-way between the First Church and Dr Hocken's house on the top of the hill. About 20 minutes past 7 o'clock I saw the prisoner Haley coming up the face of the works to the top of the bank, about 50 yaids east of where I was stationed. I ob served it was Haley ; and, as he had no business there, I at once challenged him, and called on him to stop. I said " Stop." He continued to run on towards the church. He could hear me shout " Stop." I called very loud, and called several times. I gave the signal '' something wrong " to the other warder on the top—the woj king warder. I then ran to the west end of the church, with a view to intercepting him coming round. When I went to the front corner of the church I saw Haley coming about 40 yards from me, between the Manse fence and the church. I then put my riflle on the cock and brought it to the present. I again ordered him to stand. He, continned to run towards me till he was about thirty yards from me. Then he jumped over the fence of the Manse ground. I then fired low with a view of bringing him to a stand, or to wound him about the feet. He did not stop, but ran on, and inclined a little towards the right, making towards an entry at the back of Claremont House. I then fired a second time. I was then close to th.c fence. I could not get over the fence. The second time I fired at about the centre of his body, as I fully expected he would get away. The shot missed. He then, inclined to the left and got over the Manse fence into Moray Place. I went through the church fence. I got jammed, hurt my foot a little, and was a little time getting out. When I got out he was in Moray Place, about 60 yards from me. He continued to run down Moray Place, along the footpath. I followed him. I found myself lame and not able to run. I saw he was gaining on me. Aa he was cross ing Stuart street 1 stood and fired again. He staggered a few paces forward andjtell beside the lamppost on the footpath. I iffijja walked down to where he was lying, aria saw the blood flowing from his mouth and nose. He moved his left arm a little ; that was all the sign of life I saw in him. Whilst I was fol lowing him I was all the time calling on him to stop, but he did not stop, nor did not look back. I had no suspicion of his attempted escape beyond the special warning every day to take care of Haley and some other long sentenced men. By the Foreman : If a prisoner won t stand we must fire. The regulations provide that we must keep, the prisoners 30 yards from us ; on ns account to let them come nearer. Had he attempted to rush me I shovld have fired at him at 30 or at the very least, at 25

yards. John. Davis, (Inspector of Corporation Water Works: Prisoner w?s not running very fast; he was running a little faster than the warder. The warder called, on him to stop. I saw the warder present his piece at the prisoner and fire the scot that took effect. I heard the wardor call "stop " twice, and he called it again before he fired. The pris oner must have heard him. I was at a much greater distance srom the warder that the prisoner and -heard it. - Alfred Chethain Strode, a visiting justice of the Gaol in Dunedin : I have known the prisoner ever siace he came from Auckland. I considered he was a moat dangerous man— a moot dangerous and determined mail. He

was of very fexcitable ten;psrament; hennas shown that on several occasions before me

The Coroner : Has he been guilty of £ any actual outbreak to your knowledge ? Witness : On the occasion of throwing pepper in the warder's eyes—that was the only actual outbreak. But his conduct in the office, when brought to me, showed me that he was an excitable man, and his whole demeanour showed ms very plainly that he would do mischief whenever he had the op portunity. Some time ago, he was brought before me for putting his fist in Mr. Torrance's face in the passage. From what he said on that occasion, and the way in which he con ducted himself in the offices, I considered it necessary, after he had left the room to warn Mr. Torrance not to go into his cell alone with the door shut, as 1 was convinced, from what he said, and his whole manner, that he intended to kill him.

Mr. TorraDce said that Haley's wife was not behaving well, and he frequently, at Haley's request, endeavoured to turn her off from her intemperate habits. He endea voured to get the children into the Benevo lent Institution, and finding he could not succeed, he got them into the Industrial School, to which Haley objected, as it was associated with criminality. & aley conceived a most bitter hatred against him for that, and for no othfr reason that be knew of. In endeavouring to pacify Haley, the latter said to witness—"l know that much has been done, and done with the best intention, but not -wisely dove ?" Haley mentioned certain information 'about Ins wife, and wanted to know how it was that prisoners knew of it whea he did nor-, bul; he (witness) had not told them. He clenched his fist, and looked like a wild beast ready to spring. He would have struck witness had he (wit ness) not kept his eye on him as he retired* He was a very dangerous man—a vindictive man. Witness judged if he were offended he would brood over it and thirst for revenge, and stick at nothing to accomplish his pur pose. He might say that previous to this matter they were very good friends, and in conjunction with Mr k Strode and Mr. Cald weli, he did touch to help him.in his recrea tions, his learning ot phonography, and other studies.

1 be Coroner said that "whiie it might seem a good deal of evidence had been uncesaarily taken, it was hardy so, seeipg that many persons seem to thf.-ilc that the prisoner had been wantonly killed. Therefore he thought it advisable to take all the evidence. The question now for the Jury to decide was, whether the deceased was killed by Warder Miller in a justifiable manner, or whether the Warder killed him wantonly or unneces sarily ; in which latter case, of course, a ver dict of manslaughter rnighb be returned against him. But he (the Coroner) thought from the evidence produced, the -Jury would say, not only was he justified by the regu lations in oboofcin" the deceased, but it would have been dangerous for him not to have done otherwise, that is to say, not to have shot him, but to hsxe continued the pursuit; becausp, with so revengeful a man it was not impossible that, had he eseapsd, he wonld have inflicted serious injury on some person or revenged himself on some of his fancied enemies bete, before ho could have been cap tured. If they thought the warder wan justified, the virdict would be, justifiable homicide, in which the law considered that any person killing another was not only not deserving of condemnation, but worthy of commendation.

The Jury after a minute's deliberation, re turned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide, with the rider: " The Juvy are further of opinion that Warder James Miller is deserving of commendation for having faithfully dis charged his duty on the morning of the 4th of October."

AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCE OF WaLES THKATItE.

The performance of " Love's Sacrifice " at the theatre last uight was ft g»e t tretit to the lovers of legitimate comedy. The cast wa« in every way an excellent; one, and displayed the individual tiients of the members of the Company to great advantage. Miss Carry George, as Margaret Klrnoro, threw into the role a degree of soul that fairly captivated hpr audience, and b-ougbt her down thuiuers of applause, fler nicely shaded points of character were sketch-d in the manner of a true artiste, and we were fairly struck Ibyi er discrimination and taste. Mr Lawrence as Matthew Klmoro maintained his reputation as a masterly performer on the stcgo. He, too. received ample recognition from toe audinnce Mr Collier pleased ub much in his celineation.of Eugene de Lorme j but his mannerism will crop out, and occa sionally from this cause he fails to do himself justice ham Por la as Jean lluse, and Mr C. tiearle as Paul Lafont, acted with thdr accustomed energy, while the remainder of the company were in excellent fettle. The audience were pleased with the actirjg, scenery, and music, and departed happy for to-nignt and to-morrcw two grand Sbakesperian programmes h*ve been arranged. " Othello '' is fixed tor to-night, | »nd "1 he Merchant of Venire" for to-morrow. Mr i Lawrence appears ss lago, Mr Collier as the Bfnor, ! Miss Carry George as Emillia, and Miss Lizzie Morgan as Desdemona. AIREC AT PARNELL. This celebrated performer, in cornection with his noted English and Continental Troupe, had a third successlul evening at Parnell Hall. A considerable number of persons were prtsent, and the various perf >rmances, aerial, aeronautic, ventriloquistio vocal atid musical, were thoroughly appreciittd Airec and his troupe will repeat tlieir lively entertainment to night for (he benefit of'he inhabitants of tne North Shore, in Devonport Hall EXCELSIORIC GATHERING. A genial and satisfactory social gathering in con nection with Good Templary was held last evening in the Sheridan-street Primitive Methodist Chapel in aid of the new church funds, Mr Smith occupied the chair. The evening being fine, a large number of friends assembled to witness the proceedings, which were of a most agreeable character. Miss Hoyes presided at the harmonium, and accompanied the vocalists. The Sheridan choir gave at intervals— "Loved at Home," "The Armour Bearer," and several Templar odes, in a spirited and harmonious manner, and which were evidently enjoyed by.the audience. The following ballads were sung, viz. : " Rocked in the Cradle of the peep," by Mr Cornish; " Jessie's Dieam," by Miss Mary McMillan, which was sung with excellent time, and good compass of voice by that lady, and shewM that she was an adept in the art of singingl. She was rightly cheered by the listeners, but the length of the programme would not permit of an encore. Mr Booth gave " .night o'er Wrong," chorus by the choir, in his beststyte. Among the re .dings were a■' London Idyl," by JWr Blackmail ; a poem, descriptive 'of Lancashire life, from the pen of Edwin Waugh, of Manchester, by Mr Tattersal; and '■ Putting on the Brake," by Mr Cornish. Messrs Traytß and Tremain gave a cornet duet very correctly. Speeches were delivered by the chairman, Revs rt. Eager and W. linsley and Mr. Hemus, sen. Mr. Edirer's speech was thorough and characteristic, in which he g*ve a vignette view of a drunkard's home, and the miseries consequent to the wife and family, and for the good of the community at large he recommended all to join the ranks of templary, and by so doing and acting peaceful and in love, to give a death-blow to the drinking ustges of society. Rev. W. Tinsley spoke for ten minutes on the good work of lemp.ary, which he designated a bloodlebs war tn fay ur of the freedom of humanity; he said, "one of tlii great wants of the age was correct opinions on hoci'bl and political matters ; public sentiment needed to be educated in right principles. Mr. Hemus, sea., was the next speaker, and his subject was the ' Senses" and how they are d- c ived, arid in evidence of the truth of this Mr. ilemus gave several telling anec dotes. .Not the least interesting was trat of the Hibernian woman, who wished all intoxicating d inks at Dli-gley Couch, which, she affirmed, was s mewhera in the North of Ireland where nobody lived;. he had ordero 1 King Alcohol out of hia house thirty years ago, and had never admitted him since neither as a stranger nor a (.uest; for ''Wine is a Mocker " and Alcohol an imposter The meeting, ono of the most successful of the Sheridan-s reet gather ings, closed with a temperance ode by the choir and audience. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. A large gathering of the parishioners and children of St. Paul's took place last evening in the schoolroom under the presidency of Rev. G. M N elson, minister j of the Church. The proceedings commenced with Mr Dennes' limelight views of a tour through the United States, and comic sketches, accompanied by a descrip tive lecture. Miss Beal performed with her accustomed ability at the pianoforte, and played several selections of music in a pleasing manner. Mr Dennes' gratuitous efforts to gratify the audience met wivh the usual signs ■ of approbation Three spelling ueess followed in suc cession, Rev. Mr > elson acting in each case as pro nouncer, and Mr Hammond, the praiseworthy super intendent of ist Paul's unday-sc!"jol, occupied the position of referee. Tfe successful competitor for girls under 11 was Miss Alice Mat swell, and.received a book; for girls and boys between 11 and 14, Jamas Nicol won a book. For the third bee, for boys and girls over 14, a pink-spotted muslin dress was offered by a lady for the successful girl, and a set of gold shirt studs by a gentleman lor the luckiest boy. Miss iiliza Holder won the cress, and Master Penaaligen took the studs. A severe contest lollowed between. Master lisdall and Miss JKevell; but, as they were considared equal in spelling, each received a handsome volume. The entertainment wits of a lively character, and was conducted by Bey. Mr Nelson moat satisfac torily. : THE FOPULAJt OIROUS. 1 The hovsl and nightly performances of Mr Barlow*'

dumb but spirited 'companions, dopjs, Jmonkeys. and horses, were equally clever last evening, and the canvas temple Wns largely attended. The pretty pony Butterfly and his young master, attracted close atten tion while going through their various feats of leaping and dancing Ihe clown was full of fun and as merry as a bird recently Hedged, and taking his first flight into a world of melody Tho band added to the merriment, with Donnell at its head, and the steeplechase presented umliminished attractions Mr Barlow will give at other afternoon performance, the iast ou Saturday next, which is a g od idea, as the men ami women of tue future, in consequence of its being a half-holiday, will have a favourable opportu nity of tbfcn seeing the marvels of Barlow's Circus.

Novel Scandal.

(To the Editor of thfi Stab.)

Sin, —Allow me to correct your explanation in last night's Star. The label of Messrs Dubouche, Biequit, & Co's brandy represents (underneath the three lillies of France) Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours and a soldier, and the Patron Saint of drinkers. The latter dignity was bestowed upon him. by the French people in connection with the story of the Emperor Maximinus, at a banquet, having ordered the first goblet to be handed to the Bishop. Hence the saying :'• Mai de St. Martin," ill from over-feasting. (See Eeal-Encyclofircdia, Leipsic, ISGG.)—Yours, &c, (I.W.— [As we stated, our explanation was merely drawn from the appearance of the representation, which was clearly never intended for the Saviour. - Ed. E.S ]

To the Editor : Sir,—l was much amused at the very ingenious explanation given in your issue of yesterday with respect to the bianrly label. Few. I imagine, will accept it; for it is altogether too far-fetched and improbable. !Nor need we be terrified with Rev. J. Williams that the letters S.M. are meant to signify Snlvator JVlundi. That rev. gentleman will doubtless admit that S.M. may a3 well represent the Latin Sanctua Martinus, or Saint Martin, as ■veil as anything else. The soldier-saint would naturally wear a coat of mail, and everyone is aware that St. Martin is one of the popular saints in France, whence this brandy is supposed to come. St. Martin is the patron saint of the city of Tours, Mi hich is an important place, and not 100 miles from the quarters of Messrs Bisqujt Dou boucho and Co.—Yours, &c, Cleric as.
