His face was auite black. Saw the constable bump her husband's head on the ground while he knelt upon his chest. She begged of the constable to liberate her husband, but the constable pushed her down and injured her 1 Amelia Dell, a little girl, deposed to seeing the struggle, in which the constable handled Jones very roughly. When Mrs Jones went to her husband's assistance, the constable threw her on the ground. Mrs Jones wrung her hands and exclaimed " you will murder my husband." 'This witness was'cross-examined at some length on the particulars of her evidence. Henry Dell, a little boy, brother of the preceding, gave corroborative testimony. Mary Ann Usher deposed to seeing the constable strike Jones, while Jones held the constable by tho throat. Mr G. L. Tenuant, carpenter, saw the constables tunic torn, also mud on his trousers, but ■was not a witness to the struggle. Henry Charles Wine, duly qualified medi cal practitioner, of Auckland, deposcd ; that plaintiff called upon him in February last, about the 21st, and said that he had been assaulted by a constable. He appeared to be suffering" from a pain in the chost, and bruises about the face. The bruises were not severe. His left; eye was swollen, lie examined Mr Jones, but found no broken bones. The pressure on the right side of his chest caused great para. Mrs Jones was also suffering from a pam m tho chest. He gave Mr Jones the proper treatment, and recommended rest. He prescribes for him for several weeks. _ To Mr Hesketh: His bruises were such as a person would get in a struggle or fight. To tha Jury : Mrs Jones' evidence did not relate to the eye being black, but the face, when under the constable. His Honor read Mrs Jones' evidence. Mrs Mercy Coyle, wife of Arthur Coyle, residing near Mr Jones, was standmgon her landing and saw Constable Abrams and Mi- Taylor on the road looking at a lot ot geese. Taylor presently went up to Jones' house, while Abrams leaned against toe fence. Saw Mr Jones with a box in his hand near the stable door, when Abrams gave Jones a slight push. They were all standing near the stable door iv the back yard, and then they went to the goose-house. When she. looked again, she saw the constable with Mr Jones on the ground. Mrs Jones was there. She Avent up stairs at the request of her husband. She next saw them struggling, Jonos and Abrams, from tho upstairs window; the policeman was holding Jones by the collar, and calling to Sandall to come and assist him, but Sandall refused, saying he would not go on another man's property. She was not on friendly terms with Mrs Jones ; she volunteerd her evidence as she was told by Mrs Usher that Jones had not a witness in his favour. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh : I did not say to Easton, nor to any other man, that Abrams was a villain, and that I would swear black was white and white was black, to get the coat of his bad?. I did say that the constable deserved to loose his coat for the wa,y he had treated the man. Thi3 was the plaintiffs case. Jonas Abrams, of the Armed Constabu lary, deposed to being accosted by Mr 'J ay lor', who said that he had missed one or two of his feese, which he believed were among those of defendant. He pointed out the geese, and they were driven towards Mr Jones' allotment. Mr Jones came out, and he was very angry on being spoken to about the geese. He persuaded Mr Jones to be calm, as he was not going to accuse him ot stealing the geese. Jones ground his teeth and jostled against, Inn!, he still persuaded him to be quiet, and not push him again, or he should be compelled to take him into custody. Taylor stood up and told Jones not to strike the constable. This was close beside the goose-house. lie stepped,back and held his open hand up to Jones, and said to him, " Don't you strike. He immediately drew back, and sfcrhek him under the left jaw. He, Abrams, had the goose in his left hand. Mr Jones : Now be careful ; you are on your oath. Mr Hesketh : What was the result of the blow? T Defendant: The blow drew blood ; jone? immediately sprang forward like a tiger, and grasped him round the waist. He dropped the goose, and in the struggle, they both fell heavily. Witness rolled down the slope. He had not time to recover from the blow and offer resistance.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN PITT STREET.

A SERIOUS accident occurred on Saturday evening in Pitt-street opposite the entrance to Beresford-street, to Mr and Mrs Edgar. They were returning from the dye works about six o'clock in a light dog cart, and while driving along at a gentle trot, the horse stumbled in a hole at the part of the road indicated. When the animal feU both occupants, who had been sitting in front, were precipitated upon the hard metal road and for a moment lay completely stunned. Several by-fttanders rushed for ward and held the horse, which commenced to kick; but for this intervention, Mrs Ed^ar. who was lying on the road near the animal's hoofs, might have been fatally injured. As it was, her wrists were sprained by the fall. Mr Edgar also suffered severely. He was thrown upon his side, across one of the shafts, and his watch, being driven inwards, inflicted a painful wound on his ribs. His head also struck the ground. The cart shafts >yere broken and the front board damaged, lne horse is skinned about the knees and side. We understand that the horse was not given, to stumbling. It is, however, for tunate that Mr and Mrs Edgar escaped with so little damage considering the dangerous way in which they were thrown. > We are glad to learn that, although painful the injuries were not such as to prevent cnern from following their ordinary avocations.

Mr Jack is a performer 01 high merit,, wno seems to feel all that he says and does, and to Farmer Allan is a capital type of a ctosof Engliah farmers, which aro now becoming scarce. The ideas of the poet are arranged with admirable skill, and the scenes of the rustic cottage revived very pleasant memories of the oTd land The scene among the sheaves in the S u n f £ golden English autumn, where Dora (Mist fil appeara with the child of William, and sings Tennyson's ••Bnok. was full of tenderness and natural beauty., me favotiFite with the Auckland people ami her portrait of Mary, the devoted wife, shewed that a few years of absence had not dimmed the fire of other years. The'play was a great success and the players at the close of the several acts, appeared before the curtain in response to the calls of the audience. The interlude which

I followed, "In and out of Place," was full of fun, and brought the amusement to a close. "FANCHON. THE CRICKET," TO-NIGHT. The performance of this evening will be the adaptation of Madarno Dudevant's story of "Fanchon, the Cricket."

The settlers in the Waikato are jubilant over the prospect of a near and satisfactory termination to differences between both races, which have so long retarded the pro gress of the Waikato country, one of tho finest portions of New Zealand.

HAMILTON, this day,

INTERVIEW WITH REWI. I have interviewed Rewi. He leaves for Mokau to-day if the rivers are fordable. He says the reason he did not attend the Hikurangi meeting was that he did not desire to complicate matters. Ho pretered to leave Tawhiao to conduct the negotia tions unfeltered. He will endeavour to obtain the consent of all the Ngatnnama potos to Sir George Grey's programme. He says he will dig a hole and bury all the rubbish accumulated in the past.

The balance sheet for fhe half year ending March 31st, was laid on the table, together with Auditors report on the same, which was read by the Town Clerk. Councillor Goldie asked whether the accounts gwere prepared in the manner ordered by the General Government. ■The Mayor said he thought it was so. Councillor Goldie thought that they were rather misleading, and would not be under stood by the general public. Some discussion followed, and then the Mayor said he pould not understand Councillor Goldie taking exception to the accounts, and moved the adoption of the re port in order that the matter might be discussed. , . Councillor Goldie seconded it, and pointed out several matters in the accounts that* he could not understand, which were, however, explained by the Town Cleik and the Treasurer. Councillor Morton said he thought tne form of account was-a very good one. Mr Goldie's suggestions were no uoubt very de sirable, but he clearly wanted a form of ac count'which would be comprehensible to the public instead of the present one. ihat was impossible. The account must neces sarily be split up in the present form, but it was his opinion that a balance-sheet of accounts, comprehensible to the pubhcmight also be made up from the other published in the newspaper. The journals would then be able to siive an honest criticism or the accounts, lie thought it was quite right the accounts should be discussed. He felt sure there must be many items in the bal ance-sheet which were a puzzle to rate payers. , . , The Mayor moved, and it was resolved that the accounts be passed. DARBY-STREET. Letter from Henry Keane, asking the Council to lay some metal in Darby-street, which is in a very bad state.

Mr Dornwell and others had been .obliged to keep up the road them selves. » , ~, „, Councillor Waddell proposed, and it was resolved that the request be granted, anc that steps be taken to purchase th< street.

MR VESEY STEWART'S LETTER.

"Never call a man a fool," says tho "New York Trues," in an article on; " Calling Men Fools," " if you care to pass in his mind ever after for anything else yourself. Your accusation against him will become his conviction concerning you. He will say, 'you' may think me a fool, but I know you to be one.' You will gain his perpetual ill-will, aud with no sort of in demnification. If you could prove the truth of your statement befoie tho whole world, if you could offer the best evidence, the most irrefragable arguments, you would not influence him one whit. The first aud last vanity to which we cling is, that whatever our fellows may be, we have something more than our share of wisdom."
