In reference to the apparent abandonment by the Government of the promised extension of the telegraph to- the Obinemuri district, Mr Mitchell said, the principal opponent, Tukukino had /.riven authority to the Runanga to dent with llio question, and hai deputed Mr MaclaJJand Ilata Paka to arrange terms. The Government had'called for tenders, but the proposed exten sion bad died a natural death.

Dr. Pollen said the matter was not in his department, and ho could not say what had been done. He knew Mr Whitaker always took great interest in the goldfields, and had tried hard to get the natives to allow the work to be carried out, but had not succeeded. He would communicate with his colleagues and see what could be done.

Mr Johnson said all opposition had been successfully overcome, and the natives had attempted to cut down the old line.

Tho next subject was, procuring an ADVANCE OF MONEY TO THAMES COUNTY COUNCIL

To enable them to carry on the necessarjr workh during the summer months. ]Jr. Pollen said the Council had power to taorrcw to the extent of four years' rates, and ho thought they ought to apply to one of the banks for a sufficient sum. He could not agree that the Government should advance, as all the rest of the counties would ask the same.

THB NATIVE HUMP US.

Mr Puekey attended the native meeting yes terday, but nothing definite was done. The natives would not allow any person to go this way to act as mediator, but are willing to dis cu.«s terms if the others will come here. Te Moanamxi and To llira have been appointed plenipotentiaries to act, if the others wish to make terms. The natives here consider that the other parties were aggressors, and they onjrht to pay the coats incurred in makingpre parations foi- war. JDr Pollen left last night by the Aroha.

A RAID ON DOGS.

WELLINGTON, this day.

No fewer than fifty persons were sum moned at the R.M. Court yesterday, for keeping unregistered dogs. Most of the oftenders have registered since summonses were taken out. The charges Avere dis missed. The police intend to prosecute everybody owning a dog and not registering it. Five "hundred and forty dogs have been registered already. About a hundred additional summonses have been taken out.

Three fishermen are reported to have been missing since Sunday night, mid two were supposed to have been drowned, but have turned up safely. It appears that during a squall on Monday they lost their sails, and being unable to row all the way bank, OAving to the heavy sea, were obliged to land near Pencarrow light-house. The weather having calmed somewhat, they lowed home yesterday. They appear none the worse of their outing. A Big Baakraptcy- At a meeting of creditors of an auctioneer named Hart to-day, it was shown that the liabilities were £13,000, and assets nil. The creditors are very wild, and one of them rushed ai Mr Hart, and a fight en- Suod. The other creditors intericrred, and then Hart ottered to fight them all, one after {mothers. The creditors cannot understand how Hart, having only been in business three months, can be so much in debt. A large bush fire has been raging round the City to-day-.

HOW TE PATUI WAS CAPTURED.

MR T. KIRK'S ACCOUNT,

Wfi havo already given a brief account of the arrest of To Patui by Messrs Kirk andNorKroye, near Harapipi. The capture was managed with a dogrce of skill that reflects groat credit on the two gentleman named, and we trust That the Government will substantially recognise the services they have rendered in preventing an escape which would have Jed to fresh com plications in our relations with the native race. Yesterday a representative of the Star waited on Mr Kirk, who is Clerk of the Court at Alexandra, and took down the following: state ment:—"At about a quarter to twelve o'clock ,on the nighr, of the murder, I-was standing on the Mangapiko bridge, when Constable McLcod told me there was a telegram from Ngaruawahia stating that Te Patui had murdered Morgan in the cell, in the gaol. I told him 1 would take the constable liviDg on the other side of the river, and go up the old back road to Harapipi, winch has not been used for a long time. 1 afterwords saw the Postmaster, and told him to toll Mo lor Mail* that I was going up JJa.sks ville's Creek, and the Postmaster informed me that Connell and Higginson were to go down the "Whata V.'hata road. THE WRONG MAN. It appeared to me that Te Patui would be more likely to ko iby Basskville's Creek Road, as it leads direct from Ngaruawahia, and where lie could easily change his horse. Norgrove and IJveached Basksville's Creek about midnight. When we got there, we distinguished a man on horseback on the other side ot the i'er.ce. We ran along and rushed at him. He proved to be the volunteer trumpeter at To Awatmxtu, sent by Major Mair to order us to go to Stoney Creek, at Mr Livngstono's farm, near Harapipi. Wo found the ford much swollen by the rain. Norgrove went tip and informed LivinKStnne of the murder. We then lay down iv the ti-trec. where we could watch the lord. AN ALARM. At about a quarter past three o'clock in the morning we heard, a dog bark a short distance away, and a minute afterwards a retriever dog that was lying down by my side gave a low growl. We both got into position. Just then WO heard the steps of a horse, evidently shod, coming towards the ford. When the horse reached the Creek we saw the shadow, but could not distinguish the rider. Instead of coning through the ford to where we were lying down, 1 lie horse turned up the Creek about ■A) yards, where there was a track leading round through furze in Mr Livingstone's paddock. When I. saw that, I whispered to Norgrove, ""We must, rim as hard as we can to that narrow place in the track, where there is a fence on belli eides near Livingstone's gate.' We did so, and planted ourselves on each side of the track. Norgrove got into the furze, and I crouched down in the ti-tree, about a yard in advance. We had been there a few seconds, when the dog growled again, and the horse came along at a hand gallop. Wo both leaped up together as the horse came between us. Norgrove seized the bridle, in one hand, and the revolver in the other. I seized the rider by the arm. He gave one tremendous yell of terror. He must have thought it was Taipo. I dragged him off; his gun fell out of his hand, and the horse broke away. Norgrove came and'Jgrabbed the Maori. There war, a short struggle : we rolled over and over, and as the Maori would not behave himself. we jjn.ve him a few vigorous kicks, and a punch or two, and that seemed to bring him to his senses. We then tied his hands behind him with a silk sash. He shammed a faint. I struck a match, put it under his nose, and he came round, I recognised him at once, as the man that had been sent to Ngaruawahia for housebrcaking. He never spoke a word. We kept him at Livingstone's house till day break I went to the scene <>f the scuffle and picked up the fowling-piece. The saddle on the horse was saturated with persperation. The bridle was a Maori rope. I knew the circingle to bo Detective Doolan's because it wasmarlced No. 33. In the morning we saw a party of horse men coming along, and lest they should be Maoris, we got into the house and had our revolvers ready. They were settlers. They asked if we had seen a Maori on horseback. I said "Yes, we've got him inside." They said "hurrah! bully for you!" They were Mr Edcer, butcher of Ngaruawahla, Mr Kay, shoomaker, and the Whata Whata constable, and they, as well as Council and Higginson, deserve great credit for the energy they shewed. I got hand cuffs from the constable, secured the prisoner, and we took him to Alexandria. THE MURDERER, CONFESSES. When charged before Mai or Mair he confessed that he had pakurncd the pakeha for calling him a pukukohua (pot belly). When I secured Te Patui, he had on a shawl, a pair of Morgan's boots and trousers, and an old shirt stained with blood. Te Patui stands about 6 ft. 7 in. He is swarthy, and his face is of the Tartar type, with a high narrow forehead, coining to a point at the top ; ho has a slight moustache ; ho is a strong built, broad-chested fellow; his age is about ID, Te Patui crossed over the punt at Whata AVhata and gave Morgan's velvet coat to the puntman in payment of the fare. In il miles from where he Was captured, he would have reached the King country. A mile further on he would have got oif his horse and tak*n to the bush. I think Major Mair deserves til the credit, because of the judgment lie shewed in ordering us to guard the right place."

THE CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH IN CHANCERY LANE.

THE INQUEST.

AN inquest was held this afternoon at the Auckland Hotel, before Dr. Philson Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Ann Poulgrain, Frederick Merrington, foreman. Catherine Clark deposed that she was the wife of James Clark, miner, of Sjdney, residing in Victoria Quadrant; knew the deceased, whoseJiusband is an hotel-keeper in Poverty Bay." Her age was 29, she had been ill for three weeks in witness's house. She called at her house on Thursday the 22nd inst. at six oclock in the morning, and said she was very ill. She opened the door and took her in ; she said she should die, her heart was broken. She objected to go to the Hospital as she should soon be all right. She allowed her to remain. She got worse, and witness assisted her upstairs. She laid her on the bod, when she appeared to be dying, and said " Good-bye Kitty, I'm going to heaven." She sprinkled her face with water, and rubbed her hands. She asked for assistance, and sent Mr Carroll \q the police station, and for the priest. She died before medical assistance arrive^. She asked for brandy, but she refused; in fact she had not any to give her, She offered her a cup of tea. She objected tw having a doctor as she said f^e shoujd get better ; she did abQuf, 4 o'clock in the after noon of that day. She did not complain that any one had illused her. She had not taken much food for several weeks. She had a sister in Parnell, but she refused to come and see her.

To Sergeant Clark : .Deceased said she had laid out in the o^m air all night. She looked" worn out. l)id not appear to have been drinking. She had a lit on th.c V,au, and she laid her on the flaoft fehe believed that ghe died in a fit. Slie was subject to fit* ■"■■ • j

l)i\ Hooper, of Hobson-street, deposed that lie was called on Thursday evening, to sco deceased, by Sergeant Clark, he wont immediately, and found her dead upon Iho JJoor, in the houoc of tlic 3a^t -witness. TUere was m,q smell of liquor, nor any marks

she died from apoplexy, in consequence of, excessive drinking and exposure. " There was no necessity for a post mortem examin ation. Andrew Clarke, Sergeant of the Auckland Constabulary, gave evidence. He saw the woman lying dead on the floor in the upper room of the house occupied by Mrs. Clark. He immediately went for Dr. Hooper. A woman, named Eliza Kelly, was present in the room. He had kuown deceased for six years ; she had frequently been convicted, and had spent a good deal of time in the stockade ; she was snbject to fits ;. she was much given to drink. ■ This being the evidence, the jury returned a verdict—" Death from apoplexy, brought on by intemperance."
