china box ; ho then took out the small box and plocieg it on {he top of the big box he ■wrenched off the lock, and took out a portion of the money ; he gave him a handful of the pold ; it was done on the Sunday morning. He was about -writing the particulars of Ulock's confession when Mr Graham came 'XV up, and infoimation was given to 'the police. ■ / Collins vben arrested was half drunk, and N* T.pfeFsen to having robbed him, but said Why did you put me in gaol." & ess-examined by Mr Alexander : He had employed Collies at Honolulu, but only temporarily. He wrote to Mr Fernandez for his o!<i servant, and Collies was sent up by mistake. Eis Worship asked what that had to do vrifh the case. Mr Alexander said that there was a con tract between _ the parties, and the doctor should have paid Collin's passage money, and the defence was that Collins was entitled to a portion of the contents of the box. He should like to ask the doctor how he got the money which was in the box. The Doctor Teplied that it was the balance of the profit of twenty-five years' labour in various parts of the world. John Hart, chief waiter in the Auckland Hotel, deposed that he was at the Occidental Hotel on the afternoon of Sunday, July 9, where he saw the prisoner Ulock, who came in while be was there. He pulled a cumber of sovereigns out of his pocket, and offered to " shout ;" he pretended he did not know how much a sovereign was worth. He was slightly under the influence of liquor at the time. Joseph Challender, a clerk, residing in Hobson-street, knew the prisoners by sight, having eeen them at the hotel. On Sunday, the flth July, Collins wished witness to ac company him to Onehunga and he would defray the expenses, which amounted to half a-sovereign ; he did accompany him ; prisoner had a number of sovereigns and American coins in his possession. He afterwards ac companied . Collins to Neumagen's, where he changed a 20-dollar piece. Julia Wilson, a young female half-caste, residing in Vincent-street, depoßed that on Sunday, the 9th July, Collins came into her house ; he spent £3 while with witness and a friend in the house ; he gave her a 20-dollar gold piece the next morning. Mary Ann Yeoman, a married woman, remembered Sunday, the 9th of thin month, when the prisoner Ulcock and a woman came to her house. He gave her some money. He stopped all night at her house. He was not verg sober. Professor George Evans, hairdresser, carrying on business in Vulcan Lane, deposed that the prisoner Collins came to his shop on Saturday, July 8. to get his hair cut. He had no money, and asked witness to lend him sb, which, however, he did not do. On the day following, (Sunday), Dr Mohaber and the two prisoners came to his shop, when the Doctor left the key of his office. He hung it up in the shop, but afterwards missed it and could not find it. He met Ulock the next morning, and asked him if he had taken the key. He said, " Yes, it's all right ; I've given it to the doctor." Detective George Jeffrey deposed that on Tuesday, July 11, Dr Mohaber and prisoners came to the Police Station ; Ulock acted as interpreter, and explained to him that the doctor had been robbed of about £630, and that the doctor suspected Collins of having stolen it. He asked Ulock if he knew any thing about it, snd he said he was in the room with Collins on Sunday, writing, and hf>ard Collins at the Doctor's box. He asked him what he was doing, when he said, "My key fits this box " He told him to leave it alone. Soon afterwards heard a jingle of money, but did not know whether Collins had taken the money. He subse quently stated that he believed Collins had taken it, as he had been drinking ever since. They then went in search of Collins. He assisted the witness to search Collins bed at the Governor Browne Hotel, and suggested that they should look in a corner of the room for the money ; he found a sovereign (produced) under Collins bed ; they left the hotel at six o'clock, and returned at eight, when Collins was in. He charged Collins with the commission of the offence, which he denied. He, in company with Detective Grace, took prisoners to Neumagen's pawn shop. He eubsepuently searched Ulock at the Police station, and asked him if he had been spending any money ; he said no, he only had a few shillings, the remains of a round fthe Doctor gave him on Saturday: He then asked him to account for the ten or twelve pounds he had been showing at the Occidental Hotel on Snnday : he replied that it was £10 Collins gave him on Sunday. He (witness) asked him why he did not Bay so before, when he said he had told the dootor all about it and he bad promispd to forgive him. Collins gave him the^ £10 in Vulcan-lane, but he did not see him take it. On the following morning he asked Collins, in the presence of Ulock if he had given the latter £10 ; he turned round and aid "No ; I never gave you £10." Ulock eplied, "Weli, its all the same. We took t." Collins paid " Ah, but don't say I gave t to you." Ulock then said to Collins, " The doctor had the good cheek to say we stole £600 ; 1' don't believe he ever had it." Collins said " I only had £19. To Mr Alexander: He bad told the prisoners the charge before this time, but they had not been cautioned. This was the case for the prosecution, and Mr Alexander thought it was useless for him to say anything. The depositions were then read over to the prisoners, and they were fully committeed to take their trial at the next Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court. This was all the business.

Mr Owen Humphreys foreman. The jury having viewed the body of de ceased, the following evidence was taken. Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted the en-

quiry. Arthur Dews, constable, deposed that he was 011 duty in Queen-street yesterday morn ing at half-past two o'clock ; on passing the Greyhound Hotel he heard a noise proceed ing from one of the upstairs windows ; he looked up, and saw a man falling from the northernmost window of the dining-room ; he fell on the flags.

While he was stooping over him he heard the window that he fell from shut down. It closed with a sharp slam, but he could not say whether it was closed by anyone inside. The window was open when the man fell out. He distinctly saw it. Deceased uttered no cry. The sound that firsb attracted hie attention was like that of the window being raised. When the man fell he heard another window being carefully lifted. He looked up and saw a woman with head out of the next window from where deceased fell. He shouted to her and asked if she knew how the man fell. She made no answer, but slammed down the window. Ho be lieved it was the barmaid, as the next room was occupied by her. two barmaids occupy the room named Eliza beth Burns and Mary Ann Burke, bnt he could not say which of them or whether either of them Bhut the window. He next whistled for assistance, and Constables O'Reilly and Gordon came. He went for Dr. Dawson, who was not in, he then * procured the assistance ef Dr. Hooper. In the mean time the deceased had been removed into the commercial room of the hotel where Dr. Hooper saw the body at Mr Corcoran's re quest, he went for Dr Stockwell, who arrived in twenty minutes he should think the height from which he fell was 17 feet.

Charles O'Reilly, another constable, de posed that while on duty in Queen-street at $ past 2 a.m. he heard a heavy fall on the flags and immediately after, he heard the whistle of the last witness ; he ran to the spot and saw deceased lying on the pavement in front of the Greyhound, and Constable Dews standing over him ; he at once despatched the constable for a medical man, and then aroused the inmates ; the night porter came out with a candle, and went back and called Mr Corcoran who came out, and the deceased in an unconscious state was carried into the commercial room, John Barry, a bushman, deposed that he was lodging at the hptel. He knew deceased, and on Thursday eight he saw him at the hotel ; he was in his company, and occupied the same bedroom on the ground floor. He retired with deceased about two o'clock on the morning of the 19fch. He went to bed ; deceased took off his boots, but instead of lying down, he went out of the room in his trousers and shirt; he made no remarks as to where he was going, but told witness to go to sleep ;he did so. In about a quarter of an hout the cook came into his room to struck a match and said : " Tom has fallen out of the window ;" he immediately got up, and saw deceased as described. They had but a few drinks on the previous night. Sam Antonio, a man of color, deposed that he was cook at the Greyhound, and knew deceased, who occupied the next bedroom to him. He went to bed on Wednesday night at ten o'clock, his usual hour; heard deceased come to his room in the night, with a cigar in his mouth, as he passed through that to get to his own. He told him to go to his own room, and not be waking him. He heard him take off his boots and pass out as he thought to go to the closet. He did not return, &nd in about ten minutes he heard some one knocking at the street door. The night porter, Denis, ran to see who was knocking, and shortly came back and told Mr Corcoran that poor Tom was dead.

CITY WEST NOMINATION.

The nomination for City West takes place to morrow at noon at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms. AH the candidates, Messrs Tonks, Farnall, and Rochefort, declare their determination togo to thepoll.

The Chairman asked if any member had any motion to bring forward. Mr Cosgrave asked Captain Daldy if he would not give them the benefit of his ideas on the enquiry.

CUTE LONDON GAMIN.

The other day (says a London letter) a rustic indlvl dual came to London by train to wituoss tho reception of the Hrlnco of Wales. A man who hed come in tho samo third-class carriage with him admonished this rustic, when they were parting just outside the Lon don station, that he should be vtiry careful of his money, as many thieves would be in tho crowd. "Oh," said the rustic, "nobody'll get my money ; 1 have only one pound, and I mean to keep that in my mouth." This remark was overheard by ono of our fiinall but clever street boys, who watched bis oppor tunity, and when tho honest conntryman had got a few hundred yards on hi» way, suddenly Rcattored a few pennies on tho grouud before him, and began to pick them up again, crying to the rustic as he did so: "You gimm« that sovrin I" Tho rustic looked be wilderfd. "You ginimo that sovrin," shoutel the small foy. *' I seen yon pick it Up acd put it in your mouth." A crowd began to collect, and ashed the boy what was tho matter. ' Why,''cried the littlo rogue, " I was agoin 'long with one sun sixpence in my hand, carryin' it to mother, 'n somebody run agiu me an' knocked it ail on the ground, 'n this man ho took up the sovrin' an11 aeon 'im put it in 'is mouth." The astounded ruktic attempted to explain, but his voice was thick : something plainly was in his mouth, and an honest BritWh public forced him to disgorge. The poor rustic was glad to get off without his pound and with whole bones ; the boy went off with the gold in his pocket; and the honest British public dis tributed itself, each member tbereof satisfied thai; a scoundrel bad been defeated in his attempt to rob a small boy engaged in filially supporting his aged B other.
