that there was only one habitual criminal included in the list; several, however of the persona charged, he regretted to see, were newly arrived in the colony, but it was reassuring to observe that they were not of the introduced immigrant class,but mostly sailors and persona of that description. Wine of the cases were ordinary thefts ; two were charges of embezzlement, one waa a charge of robbing with violence, and one of stabbing. There was only one charge of forging and uttering, which was a subject of congratu lation, as that class of offence had lately been very common. In regard to these it would be unnecessary to address them particularly. The evidence was for the moat part clear and straightforward, and would require no com ment. In one case of lai'ceny the prisoner urged in defence that he found the purse- Now if he <tid,ar>d had no means of knowing who was the owner, it would not be larceny; but!if, on the other hand, he had the oppor tunity of restoring the purse,and he refrained from doing so with the intention of devoting the property to his own use, then it would be larceny : it was the animus which con stituted the offence, and it was for them to say whether there was an animus or not. There was one case of setting fire to ati-tree shed where a quantity of gum Was stored. They would have to determine •whether the act of setting fire was a malicious act or not. Another case was a charge of selling a gun to a native. The defence was that the gun was only lent to shoot pigeons, and that the money was taken as a security for the return of the gun. The evidence appeared to favour this view of the transaction ; it would be for them to find whether the loan was a lonafide one, or whether the excuse was set up to cover an illegal sale. Last sessions they would recollect there was a charge of bribery arising from the East Coast election; there was another charge on the present calendar arising from the same election. On the former occasion it was an agent of the successful candidate who was charged : this time it wp.s one of the unsuccessful candi dates. Ihe charge rested on the testimony of only one witness, a fact which should make them exceedingly chary of returning a true bill against tha accused. The witness too gave very unsatisfactory evidence. He swore that Captain Morris had said to him, *' I'm open," or " on," "to give £1 for your vote, and any other votes.." There was no proof whatever that any money had passed. Under these circumstances he thought they would not be far wrong if they returned "no true bill." He confessed he was somewhat surprised to find a Magistrate committing a man for trial on such evidence.

Another charge was against a woman named Burdan, at the Thames, for oausing a •wrong entry to be made by the Registrar regarding the birth of her child. It seemed that the woman had given her name as Wilson, which was that of the father of the child. It was true that, she also told the "Registrar that she was married to "Wilson ; but as that, officer had no right to ask such a question, she could not be iudicted for that. (His Honor here quoted the clause of the Act, und*,r which the charge was laid.) Thej -would observe that, with the exceptioi alluded to, the woman's statements were a! correct, and he thought |it questionabb whether her one inaccuracy amounted to a breach of the statute, and if it did, it seemed to him to be of so trivial a nature that it was a pity that the county should be put to the expense of the trill, more especially as if she had omitted to register the child altogether she would Iwe escaped the criminal charge, and would oily have rendered herself liable to a fine ef £D. These were all the cases which His Howr said it would be necessary for him to enlage upon, and, after a further allusion to the tro cases in which the depositions had not cote to hand, to try which he should ask them ;o return on Wednesday, the Grand Jury wee requested to retire to their room aud conaidr the bills that would be laid before them. TRUE BILLS. Within half an hour several " True Billi" were returned and the prisoners were brou».t forward as under. "FORGERY AND UTTERING.

The prisoners severally pleaded noljuuty. ; The details of this case as set fith by ■ the Crown Prosecutor, will be] frestn the I recollection of our readers. The prisoners were seaman, and tbprose cutor, who was an old man, was ssmaker on board the Merwanjee Framjee, antoglish. ship. On the day in queston the pnecutor had received his discharge money, md in company with the prisoners visitedaeveral places in the city, and towards eveng were drinking at the Park Hotel. At tsk the prisoners persuaded the prosecior to go with them towarna the omain, and when they had arrived at a little gully, one of them threw hil down, ■ and the other rifled his pockets. Tsy then j left him in a state of semi-unconscioines3. Joseph Wentworth, the prosecor, was j very deaf, and had to stand clo to Mr: Brookfield instead of in the box. Hdeposed to the above facts. Mary Hanrihan, a lodging-houkeeper, gave evidence of the three having jited her house in company on the day of throbbery. Mary Harrison, barmaid at ie Park Hotel, gave evidence as to the priners and the prosecutor calling at the hotel id having sundry glasses of liquor, which thold man paid for. He said he would notake any more drink himself, but they miffc call for what they liked and he would pa] Joseph Hodgson, a resident of ,irnell, re membered meeting the prosecut on the 18th April; it was about half-p? seven in the evening. He met him at tl bottom of Constitution Hill. Prosecutor lowed him his neck and cheek, which we bleeding. He assisted him into town, wtie ne gave information to the police. William Jones, shopman to MrTilliamaon, tobacconist, deposed that the t) prisoners came into his employer's shop j the corner of Vulcan Lane, and laid oulss 6d in tobaccos and pipes, paid for ih a pound note. t!

WELLINGTON.

(From it Own Correspondent.) This day

Oppsition Caucus- There is uipohticai news to-day except that an Oppition caucus called by Sir George Grej meets this morning. The precise busiriß for discussion is not known. Probably noing more than to take pre liminary ste: for action when the finance and Local Gernment proposals are^brought down. /'

Mr ReaderTood's speech of Thursday has misled the Gernment and their newspapers. It is supposj that Mr Wood has become leader of thepposition and Sir George Grey retired froirthat position. Nothing is farther fromie fact. The Opposition mem bers entirely isown Mr Wood's speech as the expositioof party view*. Certainly it was not ma in concert with the party, whoso tnemls are as much surprised as anyone. Gti was done, howevea, by the suggestion <a scheme with which many could concurith modifications. Incos Duty on Sugar- Sir Jnliusbgel's beet root sugar scheme is the subjt of much altercation. The proposal ledp to by the paper is that a duty of an era penny on the pound duty be put on sur to protect and encourage thj industry. proposes that a duty of an extra pennye put on for seven years; then decreased tthree farthings for four years ; then to a Ifpenny for four more. The paper consars that an industry worth £300,000 wld thus be secured to the colony, anohatthe extr cost of sugar may readily be fcne in view of-the great opening for labour a encouragement to settlement. On the wh(, tie paper, which is long and elaborate, if ell got up and ingenious. Core Taxation. So far I p'thear any opinions favourabli to the schej of extra protection duty. Thi feeling is it extra duty would be acer tainty bute production of th 9 home-mad article douful Some are disposed to thin: it an ingiop.3 scheme to increase tb taxes unc j cover of encouraging > new induy, It seems very douh ful even bd the evidence in the papr whether tbdony, owing to its narrowhes, is suitablor the growth to perfection •if sugar beetjhough probably some districs might projsj. The amount of duty in sugar last a? in the colony, at one peniy, w»b £115,4. Sir Julius Vogel's proposils represent )e:tra taxation of exactly simiar amount fot least one year before any hone sugar cot ;be produced. Probably tlis forms one saent in the financial proposals, as the paj^as circulated amongst membirs early, anqpcial attention called to it >j the Preniist week. Some membera an disposed 1 jupport a bonus to encoura^ productio This would hardly meet Si Julius Vci views, I fancy, as it wouli not tend tyiae the wind. The question i its variouiipects is much discussed in th lobbies, athe general feeling is decided! unfavouri to the proposed Bcheme. Expectin is on tiptoe as to the iinanci proposaWSir Julius Vogel having alreac admitted! answer to Mr Wood, the no fulfilment expectations of revenue, a the Lordjing understood to be opposed' borrowitt an income tax. | IjPress Telegram Agency.] This das f& Opposition Caucus.
