His Honor said money could not be looked upon as personal luggage. An argument between his Honor and the learned counsel took place on this point, —"hich was cut short by his Honor saying : / lam perfectly clear that no consideration / _id by the plaintiff for his passage would | id consideration for the carriage of the

x —„ muuey. _s_r Russell said he hoped to alter his Honor's view on this matter. There was no positive contract for the plaintiff's passage : yet it would not be contended that nothing ought to bo paid. In the same wav, though no positive contract was made for the'cft.riago of tho money, there was nothing to prevent the captain claiming tho usual per His Honor said ho would take a note of Mr Russell's objection to his ruling on this point. Evidence continued: There was a specified charge he thought, about 1 or 1. por cent. One captain generally obliged another captain with out charge. The captain suggested that the money should bo taken to the Mission House for safety, and at that time he said he was going to take his money, but he did not do so, because the missionary was away, Ptovenson said a* the missionary was away, the money would be safer aboard. The money was in Stevenson's custody all the time. He Baid it wm locked up with his, and would be all right. Ho went ashore, and did not return until tho next day, but nothing was said about tho msuey, He again went on shore, and left, the captain and crew on board. As far as ho knew, the money was aboarfd. The next day. Captain Stevenson camo to him and said his cash box was missing. and he had better go on board and see about it. He said his was not missing, as he had taken it ashoro on the previous night. He thought that avus very strange, he might have taken his nionoy ashore as well. He said ho did not think of it. The captain said he was positive his cash box was there, as he moved it from the top of his H* wont onboard, and said, ".This is a curious _tat« of aifair.." He .aid he believed the cabin was locked on tho previous night, but he could not speak positively on' that point. He exam- Inod the locks, but they did not appear to have beon tampered with, but a part of tho natch had been left open that night. They called all hands, and asked them about tho missing money, but no one knew anything about it. The captain took proceedings against the steward for stealing tho money, but Avas unsuccessful, he also em ployed divers without success. He had spoken to Mr Wm. Niccol about the money, who said that he had told Messrs Owen and Graham that ho would pay half rather than there should be a row about it. In the captain's cabin he found some watches hanging about, and a cigar box with money in it. The man told Mr Niccol that he had taken charge of tho cabin during witness's absence. To Mr Hesketh: Before Captain Stevenson left Vavau for Samoa he bought a cash-box ; when ho went aboard from Vavau it was night, Mann Avas in the dining-saloon'; did not put the cash-box down nor say what it contained, nor offer him money for carrying it. The captain said, on dropping anchor, it would bo as well to take the money ashore. Ho replied " all right." He again spoke about the money, when the cap tain said the Rev. Mr Watkins was away, and had tho key of the safe. He believed that Mr Lawrence, Mr Goldenbcrg, and the French priest were present at the time. The captain did not ask him when in the cabin what, he was doing with his box, as he always took his to the mission; he did not remember saying that his box would be safe In the cabin ; the captain was in the habit of sleeping at the mission house ; he did not return that night because he had an invi tation on shore. He went on board on Thursday and dined on board ; tke captain was there, and he left him there : the chief mate was sick, and the second mate in charge. The captain said he believed the steward had taken the money, but he gave no opinion as to how the cupboard door had been broken open. The captain's cabin was much larger that any ordinary cabin. Ho said ho could not swear that he locked the cupboard, but he put the keys in his pocket. The hatch opened into the captain's cabin. It was left parfv open, sufficient to admit a person easily. He said he hoped the. money was insured, lie asked Mr Lawrence about the box, but never said he would hold Capt Stevenson responsible for the money ; he had often carried money from the islands, but never made a charge. He Avas on board when they were diving.

MDDLE. ATLANTIC CONCERT.

Tnis talontod lady, who has earned the appel lation of the American songstress, will Rive a ■varied entertainment th'B evening in tho L.me Btroet Hall, to consist of dos'-riptive readings, pianoforte solos, and choice ballads. This lady's performances hare been spoken*f by the Aus tralian and Southern press in the most agreeable maunner. Her entertainments are of a first class character, composed of the best things to be found in music and literature. Considering that, the entire concert, singing, reading, and in strumental music is by one unassisted arldste.and that artiste a lady, presents an example of perse verance which deserves a word of encourage ment. But beyond this fact, if the press speaks truly, Mdlle. Atlantis concerts are worthy of the patronage of citizens and persons of literary and musical tastes.

The Moanatairi.

The market has been quiet alb day. The price seems to have settled down to about £9, and Avill probably remain at that until something definite is ascertained of the nature of the reef b.low the 80ft. level. The folloAAdng is the mine manager's ( weekly repor .' I have the honor to report as under : —80ft. level. S.E. cross-cut, No. 9 reef. The drive east is hoav extended 20ft from the shot of gold, and the first 10ft driven BhoAved good colours ; to-day a clay slide has been intersected, crossing the reef at right angles,- but I do not think this avill "heaA-e" the reef more than a-few feet, and I look for improvement on the east side of this, the reef being iioav 3ft thick in the face. The drive west from cross cut is ex tended 37ft, and the reef is sft thick. The slide previously spoken of has been cut into, . but it will take a day or two to get through it. The reef Avill be "heaved "to south 15 to 20ft, aud Avheu picked up again on the west side of slide, I took foV encouraging prospects. The stuff from this level and . from the drive east is iioav mixed in one battery, and is yielding half ounce per ton. In last week's report I mentioned the good show of gold going up iv back of stope upon the run of gold. This, hoAvever, only lasted up for a lew shots, when soft ground vyas met ! Avith, completely dislocating the gold, in fact, not leaAdug a colour in the roof, and the reef is also changed in character. The stope west, for a distance of 15 feet, shoAvs good strong copper nuindic, &c, and occasionally a feAV pounds oi . picked stone are broken. So long as the reef carries these minerals there is every •'" probability of again picking up the run ot gold. The stuff from these stopes for 50 feet long is averaging 5 ozs per ton, and the general average from No 9 throughout, is . about 2 ozs to the ton. On Monday next (to-day) I shall start sinking a Avinze 15 feet, east from the cross-cut, or 25 feet v>'cst from the clay band. The situation of this winze will not interrupt any of the truck roads, and Avill pick up the shot of gold as it dips Avest, should it continue Avith the same strike and dip. I have suspended driving east on Wal lace's, having intersected main slide. A .__ little gold has been got from these stopes n^and from the cross-leader, otherwise there •'is no change. $>L N.W. cross-cut junction of Nos. 1 and 3 reefs.

E. S. Richards,

INFLUENCE OF FLOGGING ON RE FACTORY PRISONERS.

The " Daily News," referring to a recent confer ence on prison discipline, says:—"ln a conversa tion on flogging, Dr Mouatt told a. story of his experience in Indian prisons. In one gaol there were a hundred military prisoners, men who had resisted all means of discipline in the army as soon as flogging was abolished. They took pos-e.sion of tho prison as it wore by force, and being strong men, tho Governor said it was im possible for him and his small staff to manage them unless their physical natures w.re appealed to. So Dr Mouatt went down, paraded thorn, and read out their character rolls. The iirst was Timothy McCarthy, described as, " without ex ception, tho greatest blackguard in the British armr." Dr Mouatt read the description, and asked if it was correct. "It's my portrait," ho reoliod, "but, not painted by myself." "You cannot deny that you arc a great blackguard- If you resist, the authorities in the prison, there is only ono argument, and that I muat apply to your back." " Have you the power?" he askod. "Why do you doubt it?" replied Dr Mouatt. "Because, in the articles of Avar, flogging is abolished, and I am a soldier," said the prisoner. "No, you are no longer under military rule." The law was then read to him, and five minutes Avere given him for reflection. At tho end of the time the fellow wont up, saluted, and said, " Sir. I give in." The threat, of flogging had been enough. Major Fulford, who had had to deal for thrce-and-twenty years with prisoners from the Staffordshire iron mines, said that such men could not bo managed without corporal punish ment, though he resorted to it as rarely as pos sible, and had it administered in presence of all the prisoners, and its reason explainod. Some years ago he had a young man in prison for two yoars for robbing a fellow workman, and nearly killing him with a pickaxe. One morning the man seemed perfectly mad; broke everything in his cell, tore up his clothes, and threatened to kill the first man who entered. Major Fulford went to the man, toid him he would be flogged, and ordered him to pick up the things he had scat tered about. He refused, and nothing would move him. He was quietly told that ho would have nothing to eat or drink till he obeyed, and was then locked up, with an injunction from the Major "Send for me if you want anything.' At the end of _S hours he sent, for Major Ful ford, and said, "I'm that clemmed, 1 can't, stand it." "Pick up the things,' was tho reply, and .ho fellow obeyed at once. The flogging was inflicted, and tho convict remained two years in the prison, without having another bad mark against him. Four or five years after his release, Major Fulford met him, working as a navvy in another part of the country; and he at once offered his hand to shake hands. "Then you don't owe me any grudge for that flogging; asked the. Mai or. "Not I," said the navvy, I wns tt a d fool." Mr Frederick Hill, now Secretary to the Post-office, who avus formerly an inspector of prisons, said that on going to Elgin many years ago. he was told by the keeper of a prison, that a powerful man had burr.'aaccl himself in his cell. The keeper', notion was to. send for a number of men and force it; but Mr Hill advised thai he should brt.left without food till he himself asked the warder to enter. It is needless to say, that no long time elapsed before the man was glad lo take down his barricades, and ask the warder to go in.

THE MERCER COATS.

An'kw phase of tiie goal nuisance has developed at Mener, to the great aunoyav.c iil '<•■' >': Mr Fallon.the contractor for the onward section of the iine. -A few yards beyond Mercer Station a tunnel has been cut through the point of land, leaving an almost perpendicular face of about 100 feet high, the top bein. left about t--n feet wide sufficient for people to walk upon with comfort. This work was no sooner completed than it was selected as a public rendezvous for all the billy goats in the neighbourhood, Avhich have since assembled wi'h their families, find on its sun-crowned top and slippery aides, do daily warfare" on behalf of their righis and privileges. Ho far, so good, but the consequence of the .illy goats' performance ia.strange to say. that they are gradually and surely briugmg tho whole hill down. Tons of earth have been loosened and dribbled, by the patting of the little hoot's, on to the rails—and this has to be removed by truck loads. On Friday, at each end of the tunnel, the water course had dammed up by the heap of dirt already down, and many of the sleepers wore covered with water. The goats were chasing each other up tho almost perpendicular sides of the cutting, and a perfect shower of earth rained down on the line We are informed that the width of the top of the catting has been reduced several feet by tho goats treading along the edge. There are said to be sixteen animals engaged in the destruction of this portion of tho line. ihe contractor having fairly warned the owners ot the damage, has arranged for some artillery to be forwarded, and is going to open fire upon the enemy this week. Owners of these interest in-' animals had better take a lesson of Robinson Crusoe, and in view of impending danger to their docks, drive them inland to a place of safoty

NATIVE TANGI. The chief Tawhia, Margaret (the kings sister), and the large body of natives, who, as we stated last week, came from beyon-i the con fiscated lino to visit the tribe located above Mercer, and to hold a tangi over the death of the chief lately deceased, have ended their business and ceremonies. The taiiffi \yas an _S<d importance More than 6,000 o*te were caught, the lagest of which weighed IOII.s. Ihe WaTkato natives are now at Hauraki, near the Miranda, at which place is a tribe to many members of whom the visitors are nearly related. Another tangi will come off, and the visitors will reiurn home this week. Un Thursday, a quantity of dried shark was sent ud to Mercer, andasit has previously been ex perienced, sharks flosh packed against horse feed imparts unto the latter a smell Avhich is repulsive lo horses, avlio appear to have refined olfactory organs, though they may be less tough in the gizzard than the Maori shark eaters.
