in European style. His evidence simply corroborated that of tho preceding witness. In cross-examination he said, "Of conrsn when moneys given it's not simply handed over and nothing said." The £9 was re -turned as, the proportionate allowance for JO persons 4who did nob vote. £4 out of thia £() was to be handed back. Distinctly saw the £4 given back on that same occasion. In re-examination, wibness said that Major Pitt did give a reason for requesting him and preceding witness not to vote. Ifc was, lest people should see they were paid with monejr j for votin,?. .

This closed the case for the prosecution, Mr Rees observed to the Court, that as the steamer returned to Tauranea this afternoon, and there ~ere no more witnesses to be examined, perhaps those in -attendance might be paid and allowed to depart. His Honor could no'c consent to this.

Mr Bees their recapitulated the evidence for the prosecution pointing out those sections of the evidence vjiiich seemed clearly to prove that the money had been handed over to all intents and purposes, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of bribing electors. (Jn either case it w0.3 a breach of the law, and if any actions of the kind were tolerated, a poor candidate would stand no chance whatever against one who could scatter his money broadcast. Great constitutional principles were■ involved the dictum that any undup Interference with(the voting of electors sho'^n be held as a misdemeanour. He thougJ- f *.},„ jury must see clearly, thafs in the nT cspnl; case the misdemeanour had been awid^ly proved. " " After the customary mid-d' rfy , /rtceag ™ ftu h f T S rl^ SPS G 3t S^at lengthen behalf of lus client. Ho yzed th ° c clif . ferent counts of the inr^^ whlch he thought were at variar with o^e anoth Whli°A I i -v '^ ™s framed, nobody could be held R? ,l» f? of a reisdemeanour for th y e simpleact at gr m {m thfl HQ f defraying exp- dMeS) which {t Beem^ was the casr jJn the pregent insfcance The learned ge _ flt ] email pointed out that there had been no S p ec i a i bargain in respect to votiing for ar particular party. The money had "een . simply handed over for the purpose of P aT/ing necessary expenses in bringing voters *' j the poll. He urged that the money could not have been given for corrupt practices, bat only to cover necessary expenses, and there wa3 nothing to show that anything else iad been intended. The learned gentleman •then went on to dissect the evidence f.>r tbe prosecution, which he said simply rested on the statements of two natives, who after all, ■were somewhat at variance with one another. There was nothing to shew that money had \jeen paidto anyone to vote for and particular party. The £25 had been merely paid for the expenses of an spent to enable him to canvas the district. Mr He9keth proceeded to point out the discrepancies in the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution. (These discrepancies may be seen on reference to our candensed report as appears above.) He thought there was a positive case which a charge of perjury might be sustained in regard to one or more of the witnesses. The learned gentleman wound up an eloquent ad dress by recapitulating the evidence avid urging that nothing in it for tbe prosecution tended to show the slightest intention on the p.irt of accused to pay any money away fora corrupt or unlawful purpose. The money had been simply paid for those expenses necessarily contingent on every election, and could not have been so payed for any unlawful pnrpoan. His Honor then proceeded to sum up. He appeared to be most decidedly of opinion that money given in any way in respect of an election was a contravention of the law ; and he distinctly laid down tbe rule that a candidate could not pay his agent to exercise his personal influence among electors without contravening the law of bribery. If the agent were paid, his principal was clearly open to a charg^ of bribery. Anything given to induce a voter to give his vote would subject the giver to the penalties under the law provided in cases of bribery. He thought that if Ngatai could be believed the indict ment could be sustained.

The jury then retired to consider their verdict.

At 4.15 the jury returned with a verdict of guilty. A second charge of a similar nature was then preferred, to which defendant pleaded not guilty. JThis was withdrawn being a merely formal matter. His Honordelivered sentence. He thought that the crime of which defendant had been found guilty was a serious one, and not so venial as many people were in the habit of thinking. As t'rrs was the first case he would mer ly pass such sentence as would suffice to deter others. The accusod must pay a fine of £50 or bo imprisonment till payment of the samr. • This concluded the Criminal business.

AUCKLAND, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

SIR,— Your remarks of last evening are ines timable ; they are the feelings of the people expressed. The suggestion of " Vox Populi" is the correct, thing. The position taken up by Sir George Grey is most honorable, and must be supported by the intelligent masses. I write this to prove that the intelligent classes entirely coincide in the action taken by the Superintendent for the wel fare of our province, and honor and admire him for it. Now, sir, I am not writing this for myself, but moving amongst the classes above ref erecd - to, I am merely giving expression to their minds, and desire yon to give it publicity. We are of opinion that Sir Julius Vogel is one of the most fortunate statesmen that ever held power in New Zealand, in having such an honorable, upright man to deal with as Sir George Grey. If it had been almost any other man, Sir Julius would have felt his povrer—not in correspondence—but more effectually. Publio feeling at present can be likened to bowstring tentioned, and Sir George Grey is holding back the arrow, and only for him the arrow would speed on its way. Can his op ponents—and our opponents—not see the forbearing, merciful, and law-abiding princi ples of the man ? We can see it, and to prove our sincerity in the matter, should he ever require assistance in upholding the law and constitution which our gracious Queen has given ns, we are prepared to bring two hun dred trained men into the field,, whose epistles would not require a telegraph to answer. The population of Auckland is greater than Tasmania, and they have a Government of their own. What can hinder ns from obtaining the same if we wish It 1 Our liabilities would be very small in proportion to the population. I am quite certain that if ever a nation wa3 ruled by a despotio Government, it is. New Zealand. Talk about Russia, Turkey, and other Gov ernments, they are nothing compared with New Zealand during the past five years. We used to pity the people of those countries, and yet we have had none for ourselves. However, the time has arrived for us to act, and we mean to do it. There fore, let Sir George Grey go on as he has been doing, and let the Evening Star continue its good work, for you can depend upon the intelligent masses standing by you in the hour of need. Auckland must make a sacrifice at present that good may come after. I would not value that as good as one straw if I obtained it without a sacra- Soe or a struggle. 1 was the first who had to make a sacrafice through the aotirn of the Superintendent six months ago, in fact I surrendered my own and my children's bread, and to shew my sincerity I am pre pared to go od in the same course as I have done, so that justice may at last be done this community. We don't want our Super intendent to pc> hat in hand begging money for the provi^ cfrom any adventurer who i&ay happen awSJie in power for the time wing. I musff apologise for the length of tnls.-i am, &c.

[From a Correspondent.]

At si meeting of tho District Board held this clay, an important discussion took place, relative to the Road Board Grant from the Government, which every year is becoming less and less, that shortly it will be a. diffi culty to get trustees to give their time for the little funds at their disposal. First of all the General Government in their wisdom stop the ratepayers from rating themselves beyond a certain amount, that amount in most country districts hardly now worth collecting. Then formerly the grants were given on the gross amount collected. Now in some districts voluntary contributions are something considerable, these now aro de ducted. But now comes the height of their wisdom ; they don't contribute on the arrears, and this brings me to the main point. The year is drawing to a close ; all rates not paid by the 30th of June will be arrears in the year following and no aid from the Govern ment on thpse then. So the Karioi Board, who, like other Boards are not too pressing on the ratepayers, to avoid the nonpayment by Government on all rates alike, passed the following resolution, viz : That all ratepay ers failing to pay their rates by the first proximo, legal steps will be taken for payment of the same, and a copy oi the above reso lutian to bo forwarded to each delinquent.

WAIAPU, EAST CAPE.

(From a Correspondent.)

The Native Land's Court will be held at Waiomatatini, in this district, on the 10th. of April, and will last for three or four weeks. We expect, a3 there is a great deal of laud to go through the court this time, business will not go on so smoothly as we all should wish it, as the district is not in a quirt state at present, owing to some of the natives here 4aking possession of some cattle belonging to one of our settlers. He had already paid them rent for eight cattle to run on their land, and for a short time they were content; afterwards they wanted more, and he (the settler) would not pay them, so the natives drove his cattle on to fenced land of their own, and sold them by auction among them selves. They appeared shortly after before the R.M. and five native assessors to answer the charge. The natives would not keep order, and the Maoris that sold the cattle gave three cheers and all walked out of Court in defiance of the R.M. and native assessors, so the owner of the cattle started to Gisborne a distance of 70 or 80 miles to get summonses for 13 natives, which were all served on them, but they say the agress ors will not appear to answer the charge. We expect that if the law is forced there will be bloodshed. Law has never been enforced here, as the R.M. has had no assistance from the Government in the way of Police duty. Certainly there has been one Sergeant and twelve men of the Armed Constabulary stationed at the Awanui, but instead of sending more, the Government have been taking them away, and now there has only been for some time about three or four all told of the A C. here, instead of about 40 or 50, which the district really wants. The. day that the Court was held here about the cattle, there waß no policeman in Court, and so

the R.M, and assessors had to do policeman' duty. While things are going on as the; are no wonder the district gats into such i state.
