i-er-t a butcher's shop there. The other men live away in the country. She washed for Kin"* Remembered the evening of the "Oth ins& She called afc KiuS's hcmse ou her wav: to Mrs Wagstaff's stove to see how he las as he was suffering from a bad leg caused by the kick of a horse. She went • ito the' house : saw Duncan MacKenzie 'ittin" by the fire, and the other two prisoners standing up. She asked King W his leg was; he said "better thank you " He went out and got a bottle, Ld' poured out a glass of brandy, and IT«ive it to her. She drank it ; she knew it was brandy. After drinking the brandy, she stood talking to them, an d one of the men caught hold of her behind, and threw her on the sofa. She «]iouted, and said, " For God's mercy,what are you going to do tome." She shouted about three times, she was taken by the shoulders from behind. She was held down on the sofa. She shouted and King said "hush hush." He then accomplished his vile purpose. She could not recollect any thing afterwards, as she fell into a swoon. Some one beside must have been holding her down, but it was nearly dark, and she could not tell who it was. When she became conscious, she was lying on the sofa ; it was then quite dark. She slipt oft" the sofa. ; went to the fire side'and lay on the boards. ! She presently saw Duncan Mackenzie lying on the sofa' with his face to the wall with ' his clothes on. King was standing by, and said there was no lodgings there for women by I ii'i°ht. She went and sat on the step of the door andDavidKingcameand satbesideher. He asked her for the "2* 6d he gave her, and she replied that she had no money, turning out her pocket to satisfy him. She did not notice the other Mackenzie. Site could not "0 home in the dark, and waited on the step for the moon to rise. Her eyes were bad, and she could not find her way in the dark. When the moon got up she went home. She felt very ill, and laid on the bed in her clothes, as she was unable to un- ■

dress herself; her hand was much injured and swollen ; her shins were bruised also, and she was scratched in places. The doctor examined her. She told George Cooper, a neighbour, what had happened to her, and he advised her to go to the doctor, she was unable to go, and sent for Dr Fitzgerald, who came to see her 011 the Friday following. She was positive that all three of the men were present when she drank the brandy in King's house, and that no other person was there (plans of King's house and locality were put in.)

To Mr Hcsketh : She went to King's house between four and live in the evening. She had two nobblers at Sirs Lundon's in an earlier part of the day ; that was all she had ; she gave Mrs Lundou Gd in payment. She did not receive 2s Gd from King to pay the postage of some letters. She had often been to king's house, but he always be haved well to her ; his shop was situated on Howick green, in the best part of the town. .She believed he did a good business in the butchering line. Gharles P. Fitzgerald, a duly qualified medical practitioner residing in Howick, deposed that he was sent for on Friday, the Ist hist., to visit Mrs Garrett. Tie was not at home at the time, but in'the afternoon he went. He was struck byhor appearaucewhen he reached the house. Her hands and face were swollen. He thought she was suffering from heart disease. He examined her. but she was not suffering from that disease ; she said she had been badly used and rav ished by King and two others, one had a patch over his eye, and the other she did not know. He found marks of ill-treatment upon her, noted them at the time as follows: '•' Howick, June 1:1 have to certify that Mrs Garrett, of Howick, has applied to me for bruises and ill-usage, stated to have been received, and a rape having been committed upon her. I find her left hand and wrist greatly swollen ; her left hand consider ably so, and very painful ; two very severe abrasions on the left thigh, the skin on both places being torn off, and the loft foot completely swollen. I also find her in a weak and nervous state". On the following day he mpde a further examina tion, and found several scratchos on the lower limbs. He considered that she had been roughly handled, she could not have received her injuries from a fall; they were produced from compression by hands. Had known her far twenty years as a harmless, respectable woman. ivi Caoss-examiued by Mr Hesketh : He had known the prisoners from boyhood, and was always kindly treated by them. He was sorry ito appear against them. George C oper, labourer, of Howick, de posed that Mrs Garrett came to his house on the 31st May, and informed him of the circumstances of the present charge, accus ing the prisoners of having committed the crime. She said she was very ill, and he recommended her to see the doctor.

John Lovett, Labourer, deposed that lie kiew Mis Garrett, and bctwe.n six and seven o'clock on the evening in question lie saw King, who told him that t! c two Mackenzie's were inside ; they had been drinking all day; he also said that Mrs Garrett was inside v a'tiug for the moon. Cross-axamined by Mr Hesketh : He never saw Mrs Garrett drunk ; she would take a nobbier, but no more ; he had known her for twenty-live years.

WESLEYAN CHURCH. —NORTH SHORE.

A coxcert was given in the church adjoining the Devonport Hall, North Shore, last evening, being the first of a series to be given in aid of the fluid of the new organ-harmonium. The Rev. W. Kirk officiated as chairman, and intro duced the performers. The musical talent of the district was reinforced by the choir of Pitt street Wesleyan Church, the Orpheus Glee Club, and Professor Lambert, who opened the pro gramme with an organ recital. The Pitt-street choir rendered with excellent effect. " Erin, the Tear and the Smile," " Silent Night," "Mothers with the Angels there," and "Kyrie Eleison, Miss Smith and Miss Garty acquitting them selves with great credit in the solos. Master and the Misses Harbutt sang with great taste the quartette, " Sweet and Low," and the Misses Smith were equally successful in the duets, "Warbling Bird," and "Oh ye voice.? gone." The other items of the proarramme.were: Song, " The Death of Nelson," Mr Ryan ; song, "Fare well, Leonora," Miss Sharp; organ recital. Pro. Lambert; song, "Never Mind the Rest," Mr T. J. Harbutt; song, " Friend of the Bravo," Mr Ryan; songs, " Hearts and Homes," Miss Fannie Smith; song and chorus, " Genevieve," Mr James Spry and Glee Club; organ recital, Pro. Lambert. On the motion of the rev. chairnian a vote of thanks was passed to the Pitt-street choir, Orpheus Glee Club, and Professor Lambert. Mr J. Edson said the series of entertainments would be held every alternate Wednesday, in stead of Thursday, as originally advertised, in order to accomodate the rinkers, who had taken the Devonpo*t Hall for Thursday evening in each week, and it was necessary to prevent clashing. The proceedings closed with the sing ing of the National Anthem, and the benediction pronounced by the chairman. Considerable credit is due to Mr T. .T. Harbutt, the secretary, for the skill and energy with which the arrangements in connection with the concert were carried out.

A BREAK IN COUNTRY LIFE.

Ax entertainment was hf>ld on the evening of the 3rd June, in the new school-room, lately erected by the residents of Whatipu, Manukau Heads. The weather being all that could be desired, about 130 were present. The chair was occupied by Mr W. Rylance, who after a brief speech, announced that he had a long and well selected programme to go through. He called upon the Whatipu Glee Club to render the song. "Come, Birdie, Come;"song, " Soldier's Dream," Mr J. Allen ; "Hearts of Oak," Mr T. Spicket; recitation, Mr J. McMahon; duett, " Mother, Oh Sing me to Rest,' Misses Jessie Douglas and Isabella Foote, "What ars the Wild Waves Saying," Miss Jessie Douglass and Mr T. Spicket; Medley, Mr G.

Rylance ably dis charged the duties of M.C., and the music was furnished by' Miss Douglas, Mr Douglas, and Mr Ness.—[A Correspondent.]

THE KAIPARA RAILROAD.

Mr Barker, the manager at Helensville, con tinues to give the greatest satisfaction. Trains leave HelensviHo every morning at 7.30 o'clock.

bedded in th c earth than they were last year when I travelled this w ay. The result is that the train runs with greater smoothness, and less of the jolting which was at first experienced. There i«, however, much annoyance caused by reason o£ the floods of water, which, duringthe winter rush up to the embankments, and pull down many tons of earth, or else cause landslips on to portion of the line. This occasions a force of men being' kept constantly employed, and ready to issue at a moment's notice and clear the line or repack the sle perp. Abiut a fortnight a»-o' there was a great flood at the Waiaiauku S wantp '• the water rose three feet above the rails' the trains stopped running for two days the whole force of men were employed when the flood abated to repair the injury. The dirt had been washed from beneath the sleepers, which had to b j raised and repacked with soft tack again, as there is no scoria, ash here and kauri gum is too expensive. The cut tings are through a mass of pipeclay and marl, the same combination as is to be seen at Mr Strange's famous cutting to Conquest Place, The result of this compo=f tion in an embankment is that it will aflord per manent employment for many years to a number T-A9 nest navv'ies,|aud occasionally dam the line. At Riverhead Mr Naughton. the new manager, entered on his duties yesterday ; the former station-master, Mr Long, having resigned, in order to superintend a special department at the extensive timber station of J. M. Dargaville Xisq. Ihe Lilly running from Riverhead com pletes a first-class line of route from the Kaipara districts into Auckland. Captain Murray is an obliging officer, and gives great satisfaction.
