Mr Tyler asked witness if he knew a young man named Netties. Witness objected to Netilc^ and was not disposed to answer. The Bench was of opinion that it was necessary to introduce nettles, as their n; - tiire was to sting sometimes.^ Witness paid he did not wish to say any thing about nettles. Mr Tyler : I daresay not, did you not try to force your daught- into a marriage with Nettles? Witness : I did not ; I don t want to lose my daughter. The Bench thought it was undesirable to rake up extraneous matter, which might not be of service in the c:v.--q. Mr Tyler said he would not press the subject'of nettles further, the name of nettles had evidently nettled Mr tlullions Martha Mullions, a tall young lady of prepossessing appearance, deposed that she •*as the daughter of the last witness, and had known O'Conneli for three year-;. She left her home with him in August last, about seven o'clock in the evening. Her friends were not aware of her departure. Sub-inspector Pardy : What did you leave for.

Here the young lady held down her head, and Mr Tyler answered, " To get married to be sure." Witness continued : She met him ne;;r her homo. He asked her if she would go with him to Auckland, and she consented ; she said, "yes." She accompanied him to be married. 'ho could not recollect the date, lie ;-.i. .»sed her v^ry much to go. (Here the de c- '.aufc hung down his head, a^d covcrc • h:- face with his hands.) She did not a ;"ie license, but "Jiu told her ho had got if, :md the lmp;.-y result wonM be."' .She was Id last June. Mr Tyler said it was not in her power to state her a;.;-. She could not remember tee day she was born. Sub-Inspector Pardy said Mr Tyler was very facetious this morning. Miss Mullions further dopo*u;l that she did not hear any reference made to her age. Her health was drubk ; could not say that Yelverton propose;; it. Cross-examined by Mr Tylor : Slie left Hamilton with defendant by hor ow;i consent. She took that step because her father had broken off the engagement between her and Yelverton. She wished to marry the defenebmt. Mr Tylor : And do you v.'ish to marry him now. Witness: i: Yes," with a sirile, great laughter in court, but which was epeedily stopped. Mr Tyler: Did your father not press you to marry Mr Nettles V Witness was silent. Mr JJeetham : Let us have no more of " Netties." Let v.s draw the line outside the nettles. Mr Tyler : Very well, sir ; wewiil touch nettles no more. Witness : She told defendant to say that she was twenty-one. Mr Beetham hoped Mr Tyler would only put questions which were revelonfc, as this was an affair of the heart. She did not say her ago was 21. She was rather excited at the time. A lady might sympathise with her in such a .situation. She did not tell defendant that she was 21. (Here the witness became much affected, and gave .-, louder look at O'Conneli who still hung down his head She knew that sho could not get married under 21 without her father's consent. She was told this in prisoner's presence in Auck land. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Tyler addressed the Bench, and said that the false declaration had undoubtedly been made, that was an established fact ; but there was no evidence to show that the false declaration knowingly and wilfully made. .The depositions were then read over, and the prisoner committed for trial at the next sessions of the Supreme Court. Mr Tyler asked that prisoner might be admitted to bail which was granted, him self in £25, and one surety in the same amount.

THE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER

Alfred Colwell was brought into Court en the charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Fanny Moore, on the 9th instant.

On tiie application of Sub-luspcctor Pardy, the prisoner was remanded for eight days, in order tofanswer the charge with Pote, who, it is expected, will be in custody by that time.

RE BARNETT AND LEVY.

EXAMINATION OF THE DEBTORS : Ix the Supreme Court yesterday, Messrs Uar : nett and Levy, arranj?in« del:tors, and Mr Oeorare Lawi'ord. manager of the Bank or" Australasia. appeared before His Honor. Mr Jiwtice tallies, : in accordance with an order of Court, requiring them to attend, and submit them to examination. in reference to the extent of the estate which : had been handed over to the trustees, for the benefit, of the creditors. The reasons given by ATr Hesket.h for applying for the examination were, that Mr Lawford, at the beginning of the year, had been told by the debtors that their estate was worth several thsuaands more than had come into thefrossCKSion'of the trustees: and it was alao stated that Mr Barnett, one oi' the debtors, had been security to the National bank of New Z^altum for a large of amount of accomodation to Lewis .Bros. Mr Tyler appeared for the debtors. Mr Lawtord was first examined, and shewed a statement of assets and liabilities which the debtors had rendered to him on or about the 18th January. It showed a balance of £U.<>oo to ihc i?oo;.l, oh the strength of which witness allowed the firm to overdraw to a Jarge extent. Mr Tyler cross-examined the witness, who continued — He received security from tjio debtors in March. lie was not positive that the overdraft was increased between the receipt of the statement and tho security bein^c i.riven. The statement hud liGthini.? r-.> no with his pressing for security. T.;ie 15ank was a creditor to the uxtent of .-81,200. The value of the secur ities was from 55.009 to £6,000. Benjamin. Tonka deposed as to what took pla.ee hi the meeting of creditors. Nearly all The assets in the Ktnternent had been realised, but the proceeds did not come up to the anticipated amount. Out of an estimated realisation of £5,000 the trustees had collected £3.o'J!>. exclusive oi bills. la cross-examination the witness said the estate would not re.,iiso 5s in the noun L or. unsecured debts. Mr liurneU, on being sworn, deposed that statement Riven to ".Mr Lawfovd was made out at bis dictation, lie explained the diS'irejsnitcy in the ar.ibvmto of the expenditure on tiie theatre by saj'itiß thai the firm did not like io toll Mr Lawford that Kttch a lar^e sum was bfijnj? expended on the theatre, and so pnton i lie difference tosoods instead of property. In this respect the stu.tti mant was aoi correor. Certain liabilities in connection with the theatre were omitted, un intentionally. The excess misht bo -3HKK) or £5000. Part, of the building had to be carried out on accommodation paper, which was nearly all taken up. The only reason for making the amount spent on the theatre less than it really was because i'.lr Lawi'ord would have boon dis satisftpd hod the actual amount been stated. Hi-- Honor hero said he supposed they were afraid the Bank would put the screw on. Witness continued: Omissions to the extent oi: nearly £2,000 had been made to con ceal the real state of thin^n from his partner. At iirst lie thought the cost of the theatre would be £7,000 at the outside. The sec.-'ivi statement shewed an increase of liability to the extent of £4,000, and a deficiency of stock to the extent of £7,000. That was owhis' to the building. Ho had not given the books contain ing the theatre accounts to the trustees ; he had no objection to handingthern over. The theatre ocpendituro was differently set down as £7,5(X) and 512.509. The first was the notual worth of the baildin;^, die second was an estimate of the cost. Mr Bernhard Levy deposed to writing out. the statement of The firm's position vriven to Mr Lawford. Was aware of the inaccuracies in reference to the cost of the theatre- Did not know the statement was otherwise, inaccurate. Did not at the time know anything about the aecomodation. By Mr Tyler: He left almost every tiling to his partner, Morris Ilyains deposed that he knew nothing about the lirst .statement, and was not aware of the guarantee given to the National Bank. This concluded the examination. Mr Hcaketh said the trustees would consider the effect of the evidence upon the administra tion of the estate. Mr Tyler applied for the debtors' expenses out oi the estate, but His Honor refused the appli cation, stating that arranging debtors were bound by law to come uo for examination when called upon, and they could only reasonably claim expenses when actually out of pocket by travelling, or losing employment.

STAR OF FREEDOM LODGE.

The Star of Freedom Lodgo of Free Templars held their anniversary soiree last evening, in tho Cook-street Hall. Tea was amply Provided by tao ladies, who did their utmost to "provide all things decently, and in order." The ladies were — Mesdames Cox, Powley, Neddrie, Donald, Pritchard, Liv.htfoot, McGurney. Smith, and blisses Donald (2), Danks, and Neddrie. T\lr Ueoi-ge Warburton occupied the cimir, and made an excellent speech on the importance of a sober and. consistent life. He then reviewed at some length his own career, and. gave a series of interesting remin iscences, and hoped by God's help to continue iv the ranks of Free Templary so long as ho lived. In regard to the Star of ifreedom they had m<-t W-ith. success, although not of such a rapid character as some of them anticipated. They had reclaimed many, but out of every U:n nine returned to their old ha!»2ts. The temptation to drink was too strong. Their lupe was chiefly centred in the young, and by enrolling the little one under the brighter banner oi temperance he trusted tho fill lire generation would be wiser, more sober, and better than that which was passing away. Having made some remarks on the Local Option Bill, and tho views of Dr. Walli3 on the subject, he concluded with an earnest appeal to all present in favor of tho cause which be had at heart. We must cnndidly say that the speech of Mr Warburton on the temperance* question was one of the best and most temperate of temperance speeches that we have heard on any similar occasion, Mr James Cox, the secretary, read tho lirancial statement. Mr Cox said :—" After the excellent remarks of our chairman in rela tion to the advantages conferred by our order .of Free Templary on its members, any attempt on my part to make a speech would ill become me. My simple duty as Past Secretary of the Star of Freedom Lodge is to deal briefly with riuaneia facts touching our position and prospects, rather than with figures of .speech. I may state, there fore, to this meeting that during the two years of oar existence as a community, we have initi ated :»2 members, 'I'M the first year, and 115 dur ing tho present year, A few have been lost to us through violation of the pledge, and others by removal from our midst. The income from all sources was £37 10s 7d; and the expenditure, £S5 7s s.'.rt, leaving an apparently small balance of £2 3s "lid in hand : still out of this they had re mitted to Grand Lodge, £7 18s, and paid over £33 for a new pianoforte (cheers.) Kef. li. J. Westbrooke made an excellent speech on economy among the working classes, and oflc^-od Kood advice, based upon the principles of me order. A lady gave a pianoforte solo, and songs were given by Messrs Sceats. O'Hara, and Mar son m excellent style, several ladies also ren dered vocal assistance. Miss McEvoy Bangt.be "Dear little Shamrock" very correctly, Mra Smith sang Kiina Cook's beautiful soag, ' Alany happy returns of the day," which was well received ; and Air .Tamieson gave a recitation, the - Loss of tho Schiller," which was rendered with much elocutionary ability; he whole concluding with the National Anthem. I he dancing then commenced, and was kept up untu nutnight.

CHINESE ATROCITIES.

MASSACRE OF A VILLAGE

A Shanghai correspondent, writing to the " San Francisco Chronicle," gives the fol lowing information regarding life In China :—

In the district of Tien Men it has bean customary to tie-a winall cash t>s local currency, the Chinoss cash varying in size from tl at of an old-fashioned copper ci-iii to those now used. A. large *hop in one of the villages took small cash in payment of cloth, but demanded the large cash for salt and other article?. One day a purchaser objected to pay the larger coins in satisfaction of purchases, contending that small cash was local currency and that the shop had no right to make an excep tion to the general rule. The wordy war waxed -warm, and at last the shopmau dragged off the purchaser to a petty official who was his personal friend, -wbo decided at once in his favor and ordered the defen dant to pay large cash, which lie did, and then went to his neighbors to complain how they were wronged by the official and the shop. The excitement rose to A BEOULAR RIOT, during which the offending establishment whs Wrecked, and on the arrival of the Chief Magistrate he was mobbed, the people requiring him to promise there should be but one kind of currency in future. On pretence of .coin* to his ofrlce to issne the prochvmatiou, he escaped to tfae provincial capital, and represented the vil lage in a state of revolt. On this the Governor-General ordered a high mili tary officer to take an escort, »nd go and investigate the matter. The presumed in surgents, hearing of the approach of troops, hung a banner far up the road by -which they would come, on which wad inscribed : '•Though urged thereto by the oilicials, still we vrill not reTolt." The soldierskept on, and arrived at the viilage by dark to lind it occupied by women arid children only, all the men having run ay/ay. Then began a scene of pillage and horror impos sible to detail. Little children wore torn from their mothers' arms to he outraged, j the women .suffering like and worse indig nities, with the exception of one hundred ami twenty who committed suicide to avoid the disgrace. They took away every article of any value, having eten dug up the floor to Keek treasure. And now, peace and good order restored, anil the majesty of. Jaw asserted, they marched back again. Many of the literati propose memorialising the throne, and we must now wait patiently to see what action the Central Government will take in the matter ; but little lit to be expected of a nation who, in the name of the law, and under thr nign-manual of the Empress Dowager, inflict tortures, the. in ventors of vgihich must have gone to the confines of the nethermost hell for a model. Scarce a day pafcses that has not it.; record of COLD-BLOODED ATROCITY. Perpetrated in the name of justice, which turns tlae brain sick and causes the blood to boil with indignation when it is remembered this people are deemed civil ized and treated to diplomatic courtesy ,_ in stead of being regarded as a diseased limb of the great'world's tree; which, for the good of the whole, should receive vigorous S-eatment, and that failing, be severed fiom the body politic. To illustrate more fully what I mean 1 propose to copy the abstract of a decree of the throne, published in the Pekin "Gazette," the Government or gan, under date of April 26th, as it gives a very good idea not only of theiv juatice, but their law : " The Acting-Governor of Shantung reported the trial and execution of Chen Szje. a native of the Fang-Yih Dis trict, for the crime of parricide. From the evidence adduced at the trial, which has been pending for some time, it appears that on the 6th of April, 1876, the culprit, who up to that time had lived with his father on a footing of proper filial obedience had Hold a pear tree for 3000 cash, and having this amount of ready money, was dortired by his father to pay on his account the Bum of 500 cash, which the elder man owed, at the village baker's. Choß Szje proposed to wait a while longer, npon which his father abused him as a disobe dient son, eeired a chopper and mailed at him with it, threatening to kill him. Chen Hzje defended himself aw bestho could, but his father continued to grapple with him until, at length, having possessed himself of the weapon, Chen Szje dealt a Wow at his father unthinkingly, which lai4 him prostrate and insensible, with an incised wound on the forehead. In great terror at the consequence of his act, Chen .Saje gave an alarm, {declaring that his father had been wounded by robbers Rnd some of his neighbours and relatives hurried with lie tipae to m;ike inquiries. It so happened that Chen Szje was alone in the house at the time, as his wife wan on a visit to her mother, and he was ablu to conceal the real state of the c»«e. After lingering in a state of uiiconiiciousncDH for three days, his father died, »nd he proceeded of his own motion to have the uemains interred, employing a couple of mendicants, whwe names are unknown, to convey the cofiin to a grave fog on his own land. TWO MONTHS LATER, Two of his uncles, brothers of tho dee«««ed, returned from a journey, and they then questioned Chen Szie with regard to the alleged murder of his father by robbers, and to his having failed to make report to the authorities and solicit an inquest. Thrown into confusion by this interroga tion he was unable to conceal the truth any longer, and having confessed the act he had committed he was denounced to the District Magistrate and committed to custody. A question arose Krfd was re ferred to the higher authorities regarding the necessity for an inquest on the remtrins, but as it was considered that decomposition must have set in, and as the relatives who had came to the rescue deposed to the nature of the wound and the treat ment they had , resorted to in plas tering it with flour, while the other relatives of the deoeased begged that the remains of their kinsman wfio had met so sad a fate might aot be further dis turbed, the late Governor, Ting Pac-ekeng, sanctioned the conclusion of the trial with out an inquest. The prisoner, having con fessed his crime, was accordingly sentenced under the statute relating to parricide to sutler death by ling clio (slicing), and as the scene of the crime, although within the dis tance of ZW li, referred to ia the statute is at the same time separated from the pro vincial capital by the Yellow river, the law permits, under these circumstances, that execution take pla«c at the provincial capital itself. The sentence has accordingly been carried into otftect, and the head of the parricide has been for warded to the scene of his drime, to serve as a warning:." Could anything be more un just or terrible then the fate of thfs man, who, because he defended himself from the blind furry of another, albeit his own father, and is carrying out his natural in stinct of self-preservation, unwittingly, and unwillingly deprived his father of life, was made to suffer an extremity of agony no pea of mine could depict, even if I cared to, further than to stsjfce ling clie means slicing the living, quivering flesh by inches from the bones, care being taken to wound no vital part until the very last, >^o the victim may drain is cup of anguish tr> the dregs ? The same paper has an abstract of ANOTHER DECREE Sentancing a poor wretch to a like fate for murdering his aunt and a cousin in revenge for harsh language, and if we take the lists of punishments for like offences approved by the throne, we are astonished to see how frequently death by torture is the fate erf those who injure their relatives.

PEABODY IN THE LION-TAMING BUSINESS.

It : ~ not ;;-c'"ir;rl'" known that the late millionaire. Mi* V body, made the 1.-vi.- oi hi colossal i'ortnii" ■■ ;i lion tinner. TJf'iip" of:-.i\ ::L-::re r.ml di ■•«-.:in.2r mind, aai3 al-V. of a frugal disposition, lie rosolpeU on in

| suring liis life out of the proceeds of his [ earnings, lie received a largo salary for j his dangerous employment, and had no diiliculty in paying the necessary prcmhinl. His uiagniiiccnt muscular development and splendid pliysiquo easily passed the dis cerning eyes of the examining physicians, and he was recommended as a first-class risk. In this way he effected three policies of .^IO,OOO each, and it was a comfort to him every lime lie entered the den to know that if the lions ate him up, his aged mother need not take in •washing. One day, however, there wa.s a grand procession, of which Mr Peabody was the central ligure in a den of soven performing lions. Tho crowd was a yer t v{ large one, and the jlions^verc very irritable. Among the spectators were throe uisur;;;::-" ;; *riiT f-;. n' (>h <~i whom turned pale as they beheld in the lion tamer the young man they Jtcid so recently insured. Horri fied at the thought of the probable and pro spective loss to their companies, three ex cited secretaries were that .evening at the show. On their knee.- they implored Mr Peabody to return the polices, and accept double his premium, but the embryo mil lionaire was inexorable, and told them frankly, that though he expected to be eaten up in a few weeks, and that his life was not worth a lucifer match, it would be hi.s pride to perish in the execution of his. duty, and with the assurance that his mother need never pawn her man gle. The rest of the story is short. Mr Peabody finally compromised with the companies, and .surrendered the policies for $15,000 coin. He retired from the show business, bought a corner grocery, and flourished, as ;ill the world knows.
