CARGO BROACHING ON BOARD THE THURLAND CASTLE.

CLEVEKy CAPTURE BY THE / CAPTAIN.

On" >r_ J 12th December, while the ship -was just entering the S.E. trades, a most scrioffe case of cargo broaching was detected, and the offenders captured flagrante delicto. ToAVards evening on that day the captain gave the order lo hand on the Aveather fore brace a.s the breeze AA'as freshening. On the Avatch turning out two of them, by name Michael Harding and' Henry Stokes, wore missing. These men had been taken on board at Gravescnd to complete ihe crow, and did not bear a. very good character, and as they were not to be found in the forecastle the captain suspeclcd something was -.wrong, and ordered one of the boys to go beloAV and see if there avcic any signs of them in the bold. The boy on descending through the fore hatch found Stokes' hat lying on the cargo, and he immediately came up and re ported, the circumstance to the captain. Orders were given to close down the fore hatch, and a guard was placed over it,

with instructions to come and inform the captain directly he heard any are kiiockin'*, In a short time two or three gentle rapsV\vere heard, and the watchman fulfilled his orders. The captain then called ]iis officers together and went forward to the hatch, which they surrendered quietly. Just then another and rather impatient knock is heard. At a signal from the captain the hatch is carefully lifted up, and there below appear the two missing men with tAvo bottles of grog in each hand, and two naked lights and 5 more bottles of grog at their feet. tine of the men, no doubt taking it for granted that it was one of their pals had opened the hatch, immediately passed up - bottles of the grog and bad actually placed it in the second mate's hand before lie discovered his mistake. The shock caused him to drop one of the bottles in his other hand which smashed on the cargo. The tAVO men were arrested and put in irons, where they have remained during the rest of the voyage. When asked if they 'had anything to say they admitted they were doing wrong, but said they bad got at the spirits'because the Captain had stopped tnc passengers giving them grog. The crew came aft a day or two after and asked Captain Anderson to release the men as they could not work the ship with out them. The Captain refused, and told them that he would rather turn to and help work the ship himself with bis officers. Sergeant Martin of the Water Police, went oil' fi! ihe ship this morning and took charge of fhc prisioncrs, who will appear at, ihe Police Court to-morrow. It should be mentioned us illustrating the danger to the ship attending these depredations that all the hay and straw stoAved for the deer on board wore in the hold where the men were dis covered, and—worse far—the gunpowder which the vessel is discharging to-day was stored within two yards of the cases of biandy which were broached. THE FALLOW DEER ON BOAUD. ; A few days ago avc alluded to a con signment of .fallow deer which were being shipped to this colony in the Thurland Castle. We arc happy to state that 28 out of 32 placed on board have arrived in safety. The captain informs us that the whole flock avcic taken ill when the ship Avas a fortnight out Three died, and it then occurred to him to give them SAveet spirits of nitre. This completely cured I hem. Tho. other one of the 4 missing jumped overboard in dock before the ship started.

A young Maori from Poverty Bay arrived in Napier on Monday afternoon, of the name of Wi Porou, having been suffering from a severe eye disease for some years, that has rendered him totally blind. He came here for advice, thinking to obtain admission to the hospital. Air Woodbine Johnson, of Poverty Bay, guaranteed payment of all expenses that might be incurred by the native Avhile in hospital. Dr Spencer examined the eyes of the patient and expressed his opinion that if lie could be attended at the hospital, recovery of Ids' eyesight might be secured. Applica tion was made at the proper quarter for the Maori's admission to the hospital, but re fused on the ground that Wi Porou came from beyond the district. Commenting on this, the '-Telegraph" says :—" Things have come to a pretty pass when the measuring tape has to be used to discover whether a sightless man can be admitted into a charitable institution which, this moment, is going round with the hat amongst the Maori pahs for subscriptions. How much Avill the natives give to the European hospital when they learn the case of Wi Porou ?

For the late Sir D. McLean's seat the nom ination takes place to-day. It is expected to be lively. Mr Sheehan is expected to lie proposed. The hustings arc in front of the Supreme Court facing the bay, and if the surf be on, those not having strong lungs Avill not be heard.

WELLINGTON, this day. CRICKET AND RACING MATTERS. Bad fortune follows the Wellington sports until this evening. The cricket match is a complete fiasco. Noav the races are postponed, and dissatisfaction with the Jockey Club prevails, though the weather appears to justify their action. There was a £500 SAveep last night at the Empire Hotel. It Avas muddled by there being three tickets more than requisite ; the number being found in the box, including tiie ticket I'oAbhicess Mary. It was agreed to have it draAvn again to-night, though some holders have sold their tickets. The entries for the Wellington Derby of the next lavo years close on the 12th. The cricketers are expected to leave on Friday for Lyttelton. They conclude the game to-day. Attempts are being made to have a foot-race between Selby and a local ped, but the weather is against it.

Ist. Convenience for the conveyance ,of cattle to be slaughtered, and the conveyance of the carcasses to the market for consumers, cither by.-road or rail. 2nd. It is a good position for ventilation and drainage, being on an eleva tion, and there, is, a good fall from this into a deep gully leading: to the sea, for drainage. 3rd, A plentiful supply of water maS' b". obtained from Ihe.

THE WELLINGTON CRICKET MATCH.—Third Day.

WELLINGTON, last night, Thk match was resumed at half-past two, Aveather still rainy and ground bad. The Eleven resumed their innings with Selby, the "not-out" of yesterday, and Gharl wood, who were not long in putting on runs. Cross and Partington were the bowlers. Selby was caught of! the latter when he had made 20. Chnrlivood had Ullyeit as a partner next, and hits out of the hounds for 4 uoav became com moner than blackberries. J. J. Salmon look the ball from Harrington, but without success. I'llveft was at length bowled by Cross for lo well hit oft. Charl wood still kept pegging aAvay, and with Greenwood made it lively for the fielders. 100 uoav appeared on the board. Sixteen more avcic put in, and then Kayc bowled Greenwood for '.). Emmett bad a, very short life, as Cross treated him to a beauty after he had made one run, and bis sticks were capsized. Ariuitage, who followed, played very steadily, but Charhvood was well set, and knocked Ihe howling about to a great tune. Anniiagc only made 3 singles, Avium he avun caught by Mason at short leg.

He bit one of Cross' to leg, and AA'as Avell caught by Mason after playing a magnificent innings of sb", in which lie gave a rare exhibition of defence and bitting powers. Hill came next and made sonic good hits, lie was very nearly run out through a misunderstanding, but was saved through the fielder bungling the ball.

SCIENTIFIC HANGING.

THE popular interest which has been excited by the infliction of a well-deserved death penalty on the murderer Wainwright will — says the " Medical Press " —cause the pro fession to read with increased attention and interest the contribution to the discussion of the scientific points in such a proceeding from the pen of Professor Haughton, of the University of Dublin. The learned pro- ' fessor Jus been moved to devote his atten tion to the subject, from a feeling that humanity required that he should not hesitate to do all in his po\ver to alleviate suffering in cases of legally inflicted death. He gives in his paper good reason for his feeling in the matter Avhen h? quotes the statement of Mr Gibson, the surgeon of NeAA'gate, that in Calcraft's time he has fre quently seen the victim struggle for more than 20 minutes before becoming inanimate. Professor Haughton comes to the folloAving linn deductions from his facts :—l. That the old system of taking the convict's life by suffocation is inhumanly painful, un necessarily prolonged, and revolting to the spectators Avhose duty it is to be present. 2. That the object of and effective execu tion by suspension should be the immediate rupture of the spinal column by the fall. 3. That the use of a " long drop "is not only much preferable from a humanitarian point of view, but is the only method by which the desired object can be effectively attained. 4, That the short fall and the position of the knot employed for so many years by Caleraft arc barbarisms which should cease to be permitted. 5. That the fracture of the spinal column can best be instantaneously effected by placing the knot under the chin, and allowing a fall of at least ten feet, 2 That in carrying out of a capital sentence care should be exercised in the selection of the rope. In the execution of Henry Wainwright it would seem from the published accounts that these principles were adopted by Marwood, the executioner, and with perfect success, and that the instantaneous rupture of the spine resulted f-nm placing the knot under the culprit's chiu-u position which was unintentional in Montgomery's case, but was purposely adopted' & WftfftWtfg[UVS|
