Frederick Burton deposed that in Juno last, he was sent for some tea, remembered seeing Mortimer Fairs, but could not re member distinctly the words, but Morti mer told him that one half-chest had gone up, and he Raid he must have another. Charles Burton, baker and confectioner, deposed that he sent for the tea by his sod, but he did not receive two half-chests on two consecutive days.

TAIJKANGA E.M. COUET,

Monday, MAP.en 20.

(Before Ma jo* Roberts, KM.) RKOINA V. PITT.

The information in this case was as fol lows :—"That John Harris McCaw hath jutst cause to Euspect, and doth suspect, that Cholwell Dean Pitt, of Poverty Bay, in the Province of Auckland, gentlemen, at Tau ranga, in the Province of Auckland, New Zealand, did on or aboixb tho sth day of January, 1876, make s, gift of money to one Fairfax Johnson, of Wairoa, near Tauranga, in the Colony of New Zealand, in order to induce the said Fairfax Johnson to procure the votes of certain electors in favor of George Edward Read at an election of a person to serve in the House of Representa tives of New Zealand for the Districb of the Eas.t Coast in New Zealand, held at Tauranga, in New Zealand, aroons? other places on the 6th day of January, 1576."

The following the principal evidence reported in the Bag of Plenty Times :—

Fairfax Johnson deposed : I am a settler residing at the Wairoa, Tauranga. I re member the defendant C. Dean Pitt; I remember seeing Major Pitt about the 4th of January, on the Strand, Tauranga. I had some conversation with Major Pitt, and after (salutation, he asked me if I had promised my vote to anyone. I said no, but that I was on Captain Morris's committee; he said, why not vote for the old man, meaning Captain Eead. I asked him what was his figure. He asked me what I would take. I told him if he would place £20 in my hands I would pro cure him all the votes I could. He said, I will give it to you. I saw him again on the day of the polling, the 6th, about half-psst 10 in the morning. I met him on the Strand, and asked him where he was going. He replied, lam looking for you. We wen to gether to Mr Head's committee room at the old Victoria Hotel opposite this Court-house, I then made a list of the natives who had promised me they would, vote for Mr Heed ; certain papers were made out for the voters; Immediately afterwards Major Pitt and 1 went into the back room, and he handed me 20 one pound notes. It was an understood thing that the money was paid for my vote and influence. In the first instance Major Pitt told me that, if I would give my vote and use my influence, he would give me £20; my influence was to be used with the natives to cause them to vote for Captain Reed. Im mediately after I received the money, I took it to the natives and half-caetes behiud the redoubt, and gave 19 of them £1 each : those natives were on the roll. I saw some of them go into the polling-booth. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh : To the best of my knowledge and belief my first interview with Major Pitt was towards even- Ing on the 4th of January, on tbe Strand; we did not go into any house that I can remem ber ; it was close to the Tauranga Hotel; no one else was present; it was daylight; we were by ourselves ; I have no doubt of it; we did not go into any house during the conver sation ; I think the day of the week was Tuesday; what I have stated in my examina tion-in-chief is to the best of my knowledge all that took place at that time ; I met Major Pitt again on the 6th, near the same place on the Strand; we did not go into any build ing before we went into the committee rooms; ■we were by ourselves on that occasion; there was a Mr Hallowes, who was acting as sec retary to Major Pitt, in the front room ; we had no conversation in the first room we entered about the giving of money or procu ring of votes. * There was no one present in the back room when I retired there with Major Pitt; when I went into the com mittee I made out a list of the natives who had promised to vote in the interval between the 4th and 6th ; I saw those persons in consequence of the first interview I had with Major Pitt; they live about four miles away from Tauranga and about 200 yards from my own house ; the election had begun when I had the second interview ; I had not then voted, nor had the natives; it was understood that I should vote and use my influence for Captain Read ; it was so agreed, and I accepted the £20 on that arrangement and for . that purpose ; I will refer you to the ballot-box to discover whether I voted for Captain Read or not; I decline to state who I voted for, but previous to my fivoting I agreed to vote for Captain' Read ; I had informed other persons since the 6th of January what took place between myself and Major Pitt; in so doing I have always told them the same as I have now stated ; I have never said since the 6th that I gave ten natives £2 each ; I have not since the Gfch said to any one that I did not agree with the defendant to vote myself, or any thing to that effect; in giving my te&timony I merely do so to see justice done; I am giving this evidence because I believe it will affect Captain Read's seat, and because I desire to affect it as it was obtained through bribery. Cross-examination continued : No one, was ever present when I had conversation with Major Pitt about his giving money for my procuring votes. Hr Hesketh addressed the Court for the defence, but declined to adduce rebutting evidence.

The accused was formally committed for trial, bail betng allowed. The second charge which was for a similar affair in connection with a Maori named Hori Ngatai was supporthd by native evidence, and resulted in a similar way to the foregoing.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

THK THEATBE. The popular burlesque of "II Trovatore ' was again presented at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Miss Lyaia flowarde as Maurlco. Mile Navaro as Leonora, and the other ladles and gentlemen as heretofore. The burlesque, with Its pleasant music, songs, and asso ciations, was well received, and elicited well-earned applause. The little comedy of "Camberwell," but which has nothing beyond the name in common with that out-of-London locality, -where John Euskin moralises and Browning sings, was also performed. The comedetta however is lively and very entertain ing. We learn that Miss Jennie Nye, the favorite actress, will prolong her stay in this city, as she has entered into another engagement with the lessee, and will ro-appoar with Mr Lawrence in a series of dramas for a season. To-night will be presented Craven's oomie drama, entitled "Milky White," with Miss Nye as the beautiful heroine, with the sweet song of "Early Love.'' Mr Lawrence will represent Daniel. The capital farce of " His Last Legs " will conclude the evening's entertainment—Mr Collier as the veri table O'Oallaghan. THE RHINE. j The beautiful panoram* of the great German river, With its castles, vine valleys, and poetic features, was shewn last evening in the Baptist school-room, Wel lesley-street, to an appreciative assemblage of persons of various ages Mr Matthews occupied the po itioti' of lecturer, and descanted on the passing scenes with much ability. i THE DUTCH REVOLT AGAINST SPAIN. . Mr P. G. Ewingtca delivered his third and last lecture la3t evening, at the Wellesley-street Young Men's rooms, in connection with Spanish history. The room was wall filled with an attentive audience. Mr Win Eastwo'od, of Onehunga, occupied the chair. We noticed aruong the audience a number of ministers, and leading citizens. The chairman opened the pro , Codings with a few timely remarks, and called upon 'the lecturer to deliver his lecture,,. Mr Ewington j-ooßilßeiifcßdby giving btlei extracts from Gladstone/, X

Manning, and other authors of both sides, to shew that the views about to be counciatpd were not singu lar, bus engaging the thoughts of the foremost men of the a?e. Ho believed that although the Pope had lout his temporal poWrr, he was equally beloved by his children as >n tarlier time* when his pnyrer was almost ab olute. He (the lecture!) was not dip £ed to set o;a:i3 against class, Lut simply desirous of reviewing historical facts in a calm unbiassed mood. After noting the roUeioTm literfttuie of the present and the immense spread of Catholicism in different lands, the prominent question for consideration was. if tho spirit of Eome be tl.e s;iiuc now as in days pone by, will nhe entente liev doctrines, had she the power, as she rtid iii other rentwi.-s? Ho thought rot. "^ben he iifcKf-rvfd how fr different mMy Cathol.'cs v. em to religion, an Protctanlß are, and of the icter niftrriapes of Roman Caihcn'cs wt'h Protestants, and ulovc all the spread of education, lo con (■idorcd there was no catisn to fear a revival of the ~<ist. Tho lecturer Him procetded tn the imme diate subject of iho evening, the levolt of tho >7 ether lands avainst tho t.nam.y of > pain, uivi brought forth the facts of that tretnonrioxis struggle for freedom, in a logical and lucid manner. We have not space to f_l)ow the lecturer through this ;ect!on of hum»n Justo'T. or would fladly'hftve &on>, but those who hnd the pleasure of listening lor the first time to this exciting history, experienced an historical treat rf no corr.nion oider. The lectnrer.next described the sufferings and dtath of the Makt of Antwerp, tht) lint vi'itim of religious intolerance in the Net he r lands, and concluded with a pistureervue sketch of tic battle of M'uprrt under Mivuiico of Nassau, the heroic son of the Prince of Orange. The lecturer retire!: amid lmid api'laise. The choir Rccompariiec! i>y Mr Lambert on the harm j) him. sang the "Forao of i ibtrty." and concluded with the National ' ntliuin. The chaitmau, Mr Eastwood, announced :li \t nn Thursday next, he would deliver a lecture on " Qaoen Elizabeth/ the last of the Tudor line. .

Arrival of the Brodick Castle.

Tb.e Ship Sparkenlioe Aban-

doned.

Thk magnificient ir< n clipper ship Brodick Castle, belonging to the Castle line of Messrs Skinner and Go. (the owners of the Edinburgh Castle), and chartered by Shaw, Savill, and Co., arrived in hnrbouifthis morning after a passage of 00 days from Plymouth She brings about 300 Govern ment immigrants whose names appear below, and a large central cargo. She comes consigned to Messrs CruioUshank and Co. The vessel was signalled yesterday afternoon, and arrived off the Heads aft an early hour Ibis morning, raid was anchored to await the inspection of tho Health Officer. .It will be rf collected by our readeis that the Brodick Cast! o It ft London a new ship on the 7vh October last-., and encountered a terrific storm in the Bay of Biscay, where she was dismasted and narrowly escaped total wreck. She had to put back to Fal mouth on the 20th Ottober. From thence she went to Plymouth to be repaired, and s;tiled from there on the 14th December, having been delayed beyond the time required for the repairs by a difficulty in the settlement of tho salvage claims of the steamer which towe.l her into Falmouth.

At ten o'clock to-day the Immigration Commissioners consisting of Dr. Philson, Mr H. Ellis, and Captain Burgess visited the ship, and, cfter a thorough inspection, gave her a clean bill of health. The immigrants, who are n, remarkably clean and' useful look ing sot of people, expressed themselves well satisfied with their treatment on tbe voyage, and not a single complaint was lodged At about half-past eleven, Captain James, who was pilot in charge.'got her under weigh and commenced to beat up on the young flood. An accident occurred half-an-honr later, by which the ship was momentarily placed in imminent peril, S-he was put about while on the starboard tack about live hun dred yards from the Beau Bock lighthouse, and while in stays she was suddenly taken aback and carried stern on Pgainst the rocks in the vicinity of the Light-house. She lay for fully twenty minutes without shifting her position, when a shift of wind into the S, W., and the rise of the tide carried hot free. Capfc. Burgess was below in the cibin performing his duties as Immigration Com missioner at the tiruethe vessel touched,and it is needles to say he was on deck in a moment. When the ship came eff she resumed her journey and has just reached the wharf anchorage as we go to press. The Captain reports that the voyage has been a most uneventful cne since leaving England the second time. Very light winds have been experienced, and it ia to this cause the length of Ihe voyage may, bo described. Three deaths occurred on the voyage.

We have received the following report of the passage :—After leaving Plymouth, had fine weather across the Bay of Biscay, and as far as Madeira. Sighted the Inland on Christmas Day. On the dny before passed a large wooden ship in ballast lying on her beam ends and aband onned. All her boats were gone. Passed close under her stern, and made out her name as the Sparkenboe, of Dublin, All her sails mere hanging in ribbons, as if they had been blown out of the ropes, The jN.E. trades were very light. The eqnator was passed when 2l days cut. The S. E. trades like tbe N. E. proved very light. During their continuance, the ship Patriarch bound from Melbourne to London was spoken, all well. Tbe fine weather ex ended right from the Cape of Good Hope, off which the ship was becalmed. Shortly after passing the Cape a large four masted steamer going east passed the ship. Her name could not be made oub. The easting was run on the parallels of 50 to 52 and strong squally weather was experienced in the Southern ocean. Nothing of impor tance occurred till the North Cape was made on Tuesday last. .Down the coast lipht variable winds have been encountered. Deaths.—The following deaths occurred duiiog tho voyage:—Dee. 30, 1875, John McGrath, aged 5 months, consumption. Feb. 22,1876, Ellen McGrath, aged 7 months, consumption ; Jan. 12, Hannah Wilson, 33 years single, rheumatic fever. There were no births.

THE SCHOOL INSPECTOR.

A STRANGE and adventurous life i 3 that of an Australian inspector of schools. I don't mean to typify the luxurious railway-travell ing inspector, who has only to take his ticket for the. place he wishes to visit, fctep into a comfoitablo lirst-class camaue, and bowl away rapidly towards his destination. My inspector is a being cast in a different mould. He must be pos^e^cd of qualities quite apart from those requisite for the exercise of his profession in the school-room. These qualities are somewhat akin to those of a sportsman. He must bo a good lider, a good walker, a fair shot, expert at the rod and line. He must be capable of enduring huager, thirst, bioiling .sun, ;.n<i pietcing cold. Be must be more regardless of rain and swollen river.? than even a mailman. He must be a good swimmer, and nervous ness may not enter into hia composition. As hi? avocation compels him to travel long dis tances alone, he must lie perfectly content to spend long days and weary nights in solitude. To all these attributes be must add some knowledge of the healing art. Sickness and broken bones arc very likely to be his lot at some period of his joureyings, and should these mishaps overtake him at a time when he is scores of miks distant ftom any human hflp, it becomes of vital importance that the school inspector should be able to be his own doctor and surgeon. The veterinary art can not be neglected by him. So much of his comfort and safety depends \ipon the horaes he uses, that it is imperative on him to know how to treat the injuries and diseases of these partners of his peregrinations. I think that an inspector should undergo a searching examination prior to hia appoint ment, with such questions as :

1- Can you ride a buck-jumper? 2 Can you swim a Hooded river, either on horsbeack or alone ? ■

?>. In the event of your being caught in a flood on extensive Hat country, what would you do ? 4, Can you exist on cat-fish for any lengthened period ? 5. Can you drink liquid mud? G. Can you carry your own saddle for fifty miles.

7. Are you afraid of wild blacks ? 8. Have you any objection to fever and ague ? 9. Do you smoke? If not have you any objection to learn ? 10. Can you set a broken bone, cure the strangles, and track a horse over rocks ? I think the question as to smoking a most important one, for the following reasons : —A smoking man is always a philosophic man. He has a well-balanced mind. Does he come to any sudden grief, he never bits clown and whines. No ; he takes out his pipe, tills it, and smokes himself into a calm and medita tive mond. The very action of cutting up his tobacco is a contemplative, soothing notion, immensely conducive to a contempla tive, philosophic state of mind. In thus desirable mood, superinduced by the action of the1 delicate fumes of the narcotic weed, he is equal to any emergency. His serene mind grasps the difficulties of his position, and enables him to extricate himself from positions which would drive a non-smoker to distractien.— Old Cfoim in the Queev.s lander.

SPORTING- NOTES.

The Dunedin Cup, the result of which was given in our yesterday's issue, has been won by Mr Delamain's 3 year old mare Punga werewere, who, as far as can be ascertained from the reports sent up by the Press Agency, started at about Bto 5. This filly was tried with Templeton very highly in the Spring, and was heavily backed to win the great events at Chrißtchurch and Wellington meetings. Her performances, however, did not come up to her reputation, and she was set down by the majority of persons as a "/duffer." But mares are proverbially fickle the early part of the year, and the apparent inconsistency of Pungawerewere running badly in November, and coming out a " clinker" in March, is not at all a solitary example. Mr Delamain is a thorough sports man, and has been unfortunate up .to the present time this season. This will give him a good lift, for as he had scratched Temple ton, he is bound to have won something handsome in bets in addition to the stakes, which are themselves little short of £800. What Mr Redwood's policy was in making Amohia (the summer favorite, and the animal backed right and left by the public on the strength of the reports circulated from the stable) carry 121bs. over-weight it is difficult to say. He can scarcely say that it was impossible to get a boy to ride the weight. At any rate she has been a splendid horse for the bookmakers, who have " milked" her to the extent of thousands. Two suppositions occur in explanation of the singular conduct of the great Nelson stud owner. Either he stood to win on Guy Fawkes, or else the public had rushed Amohia to such a short price that it suited him better to lose with her than to win. We may form a more decided opinion when fuller intelligence reaches us. The Auck land colt Ariel ran well in the Publican's Plate, but over tbis distance— one mile and a-half, Guy Fawkes is probably the best horse in New Zealand, and it wss no dis grace to be beaten by him. Mjr Buckland's colb will yet make a grand horse, and next year he will make some of the best "travel" to beat him.

§pA womaD, who had been lecturing her husband for coming home intoxicated, became incensed at his indifference and exclaimed : ' O that I could wring tears of anguish from your eyes !' To which the hardened wretch hiccoughed : ' 'Tain-'tainfc no use, old woman o bo-bors for hero.'
