THE CHEMIST'S SHOP CAPTURED BY THE DOCTOR.

IN Hamilton it is a toss-up as to which of two questions is absorbing most attention in the colony ; the " Lost Tribes," or " Dr. Beale and Mr Hammond's shop dispute." Dr. B. considers the chemist shop question rises over the Anglo-Israelite with majestic pre-eminence. A month or &o ago was published particulars of the fracas between these two Hamilton professional gentlemen, shewing that a personal contest took place in the' shop, resulting in the doctor being given in charge for assault. The case was adjudicated upon by the following bench of justices: Mr Vialou (Mayor), Captain McPherson, and Mr Seddon. The charge of assault was declared to be proved, without calling evidence for the defence, but the case being of so trifling a character was dismissed. For some weeks ensuing, nothing exciting occurred in connection with the shop dis pute. The stock of chemistry was removed to Mr Hammond's Cambridge premises, and it was not until a recent Friday morn ing that the doctor and chemist again, figuratively speaking, crossed swords. Having removed the stocks, Mr Hammond . let the premises to Mr M —, who was under engagement as accountant to Mr Kennedy Hill. The doctor interfered with such letting of the shop. The chemist ■certainly held the keys of the building, but tne former opposed the letting movement. The other Thursday news was conveyed to the chemist that A MIDNIGHT ATTACK was to be made by the doctor, who intended to seize and possess himself of the premises, and leave a force of men in charge. The warlike chemist proceeded at once to form a volunteer corps, aud on Thursday night took np his position in the old shop, hoisted his flag, aud having placed his force in position, waited in breath less suspense the approach of the doctor. The physician, however, was comfortably asleep in his bed, and no sounds were Jieard other than the conatable's measured tread or the noise made by some late traveller, rousing Host Gwynne from his slumbers. The martial ardour of the volunteers had cooled down ; the first streaks of daylight illuminated each chagrined countenance; and the brave but sleepy army marched off in single fife and went to bed. About this time, and before the sun had fairly risen in the eastern sky, the tall form of the doctor was to be seen gliding down the track from Hamilton East,towards the punt, in com pany with a powerful-looking man, who, having fought on the battle-field against the foes of Her Majesty the Queen, was a valu able retainer to assist in the CAPTURE OF A CHEMIST'S SHOP. We pass over the mode of such capture ; it is sufficient to say that about the time. the retreating army had turned in, the attacking party had stormed the citadel, had done all the required bombarding, sapping, &a., and when at 8 o'clock a.m. the chemist looked from his window across at the shop, he was dumb-founded to see the triumphant doctor and his lieutenant in possession, and one of Mr Yiulou's men proceeding with a new lock and key under his arm to replace the former lock (of which the chemist held the key.) The chemist made a charge at the shop, but he was too late, and he could not enter in. Shattered ■ glass Jay upon the floor and through the broken panel of the door, the doctor gazed like a conqueror upon the defeated chemist. The two looked each other in the face. Each could say with Dryden the poet — " I feel my hair grow stiff, My eye-balls glare." There was a pau«e, a solemn pause ! one of those pauses which, following a clap of thunder, precedes the flashing lightning ; but the doctor did not eliminate thunder nor the chemist lightning. The only weapon used was the English vocabulary, and each armed to the teeth with such, flung in each other's face somewhat un professional phrases, but neither so far forgot himself as to call the other a gentleman ! while the stalwart retainer, the hero of many, battles, folded his brawny arms, and smiled grimly at the wordy war. The sequel is soon told : An information was laid by the chemist against the doctor, and the case is to be heard as soon as a bench of can be gathered together to hear the same ; but so far, the Justices are like those invited to the marriage feast, " They cannot come." The affair is said to be so complicated that a Philadelphian lawyer is to be imported by the next 'Frisco boat.

MECHANICS INSTITUTE.

(To the EditbY.) Sm,— Referring to the application made by the Committee of the Auckland Mechanics Institute for some endowment sites to the Waste Lands Board, and the reply thereto made by one member that it ought to be self-supporting, and that it was so in early days, I think if these remarks apply to this Institute, they apply with greater force to the New Zealand Institute, which was fortunate in obtaining a really valuable site and borrowing powers, not granted. to other kindred institutions, and now endow ment sites, and that to benefit, it may justly be said, the more wealthy classes. If the Mechanics Institute could be called self-supporting in early days, it was due to the fact of its being the only Society of the sort in the city. It has now to contend with the New Zealand Institute, .which has taken away all, or nearly all, of its old and wealthy supporters, and with sectarian insti tutes, which, as a matter of course, command the support and sympathy of their particular friends, and yet are compelled to be constantly appealing to the public for assistance. Now the Mechanics' Institute, with all its pecuniary difficulties, bad site, old bxiilding, and want of means to increase its usefulness, has managed to struggle on in a manner, and its indebtedness is small. It has still a large number of sub scribers, principally among the artisan class, and therefore deserves encouragement and assistance until such time as a few .public spirited men wiU step forward anddo a citozens duty by helping to give the town what it ought to have possesecis long since-a Free Public library.—Yours, Identity.

I Another Man's WiFE.—Thomas Smith, alias Massey, was charged with the larceny of certain property, valued at £10, the property of Thomas Chapman. Prisoner pleaded not guilty.— : : horn as Chapman deposed: lam a married man, living at Onehunga. I have been living there ' with my wife over three years. 1 know the prisoner, who resided at Onehunga during that ' time. He had been in the habit for the last two years of frequenting my house. He knew Ellen Chapman to be my wife. In August last an arrangement wa* come to between my wife and myself, at her suggestion, that she should go to service, and that I should take a long voyage in the situation of cook or steward on some vessel, in order to pay her passage home to England. Some time later, she told me that she had gat .a situation in Hobson-street, Auckland. She said she would take the things which were necessary to her new home, and I gave her permission to do so. The remainder of the property was to be left in the house. She left on the 20th August, as I thought, to go to her situation. I was then going on a trip in the p.s. Hauraki, trading between Auckland and Waitara. I left home to go on board at 10.45 o'clock that morning, and returned in the evening about a quarter to seven. I found my wife gone, and my house nearly empty. The articles missing were a feather bed. valued at £4 10s ; two sheets, 12s; one chest, 12s; one work box, ss; one watch, £2 ss; two pillows, 10a ; two blankets, 10s; one opera glass, 255; and sundries, valued altogather at about £12. Last Tuesday evening I met my wife accidentally at the corner o£ Grey-street. She did not say that she intended to leave. Auckland. I alterwards heard that she was proceeding to Kngland in the barQue Schie hallion. I pioceeded on board, and discovered the priaoner and my wife there. They were sitting do"wn together. I was present when the detective searched the double berth occupied by the prisoner. It was a berth for a married couple (laughter). The property now before the Court was discovered there. Prisoner and my wife were in the berth together taking tea when I went on board. The chest produced wa3 locked, and he had the key on the rirjg -with h's other keys. I had seen the- prisoner on several occasions during tbe time which elapsed after my wife, left home, and before I found them on the Schiehallion. I accused him of going away with my wife some time ago.—Mr Pardy: How long ago?—Priaoner: Last. Wednesday week 'laughter.)— Witness: About three weeks ago. Prisoner said "I hope you p:ace more confidence in me than to think I would do such a thing. — Mr Pardy; Then he denied it ?—Prisoner: 1 did not deny it (laughter.)-Witness: I gave the prisoner no permission to take my property away.—Fannie O'Neill, wife of Henry ONeill, carrier, residing at Onehunga, knew both Mr Chapman and his wife. On Wednesday last Mrs Chapman asked her to take her things to where she was going to service. She took her cart to the house, »nd saw Mrs Chapman inside with the prisomr. They brought out the thing* and put them into the cart, bhe conveyed the things to the last house in Hob'on-street. A lady named Mrs Miller admitted Mrs Chapman.— i Mr3 Jessie Miller deposed that Mrs Chapman came to the hou?e, as a lodger, on the 20th nit.1, and stayed until Wednesday last. She gave the name of Mrs Chapman. The priaoner came to her house for the firat time last Thurs day, and enquired for Mrs Chapman- Witness told, him she had gone.—Uriah Gully Hurrell. clerk to Messrs Cruickahank & Co.. agents or the barque Schiehallion, deposed that he issued the ticket (produced) on the 6th August, but could not remember to whom it waa issued.— Detective George Jeffrey deposed to proceeding on board the barque Schiehallion on Thursday last, in search of the prisoner. The barque was lying offthe North Head, waiting for a favour able wind to sail for London. He found the pri soner and Mrs Chapman together in tbe cabin. He read the warrant to prisoner, and founa the articles enumerated therein in the box under the bunk. The key was in prisoner's possession, with his other keys. Ho charged the pri soner with stealing Mr Chapman s property. He said he knew they belonged to Mr ChapmaD, but he thought he had given them to his wife. The prisoner and Chapman a wtie. ewere then going under the name oEMc and Mrs Smith. He said he had taken their passage to England. Mr3 Chapman handed prisoner £1, saying, " you may want that ashore." She came to the station the next; day for the key of the cabin, and asked him for the pound, saying Bhe wanted it. He^gave them to her and she left, and he supposed she bad returned to the ship.— To prisoner: You had the key of Mrs Chap man's box. You handed it to me.—This was the1 case for the prosecution.—The depositions were read over to the prisoner, who said he was in no way connected with the stealing of the things, Mr3 Chapman was alone responsible. Shefirought them from Onehunga at her own risk to Mrs Miller's, and from thence she shifted them to the barque, and wished them to be put into his cabin, t-he locked them up in the box. He wa9 not aware that the things were Chap man's. He took the cabin for himself and Mrs Chapman, as he had promised to see her. safe to England unless the ship went down.—l he prisoner was fully committed for trial at the next criminal sittings of the' Supreme Court.

Maori Murder at Waimate.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(From our own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day,

Tfie Native Minister received a telegram on Saturday afternoon from Mr Tregea, surveyor, of Waimate Plains, apprising him that John McLean, cook in the employ of Mr Fraser, Mr. Tregea's partner, employed in the survey of Moumohaki Block, had been found dead. A second telegram from Captain Wray gave particulars of the in quest on the body, at -which a verdict of wilful murder against some person un known was returned. Suspicion pointed to a native named'Hiroki, who is said to have fled from the district. Honi Pihama and Katene, Major Brown's coadjutors in the survey, went by steamer from Wellington to the scene of the murder. All the tele graph offices on the West Coast were kept open, and telegrams despatched to native chiefs. Kewi has been communicated "with,, and several principal chiefs of Waikato. All the principal chiefs, to whom the land on which the murder was committed belonged, were in Wellington, in reference to the survey of reserves set apart for them on the block, and were much horrified at the murder. I'hey expressed fear, 4es.t it should affect their reserves. They met at theTe Aro Pa, held a meeting, and drew up a le'-ter to Mr Sheehan as follows :— "Te Aro. Wellington,, September 22j 1878.—This is a notification by us, the Ngaruru tribe, who are at present in Wellington, about the news which we have heard, that a European has been killed at Momdhaka, Waitotara. We are very dark about this evil news. We want to know why this murder has been committed by that man, who, so far astheNgaruruwere concerned, is a madman. The murderer belonged to Waikato. Mr Sheehan, had we been at Waitotara, we would, have caught that man; but we, the chiefs, who have the management, of affairs, are here in Wellington. We shall send telegrams to the Maori people, requesting them to apprehend that murderer. Mr Sheehan, send our word to. the Press, so that the Europeans may see that the Ngaruru are very dark about this news of a murder having been committed.-(Signed) Rerer auge, Te Waero, Mahutonga, Uru te Angina, Te Kahu, Tautahi, Retu, Henare, andPumipi. From theNgaruru tribe who are in Wellington, i" '*'«-'- '■' - , ' Active steps have been taken to apprehend the murderer, and a reward is offered for his apprehension. A body of police has been despatched in pursuit. The crime m no w«y affects the peace of the country. Telegrams from natives in the district are most pacific and loyal. ■' . ■ . : • A telegram from Mr Wray states that Hiroki is supposed to have fled in the direction of Taupo. \'.:'[. e ' T , The surveyors thought the death ot John McLean was the result of falling on a stake in the river, while drawing water in the river, but on post mortem examination, the bullet was extracted. ,- Some three weeks previous, a slight quarrel occurred between the Europeans and natives respecting dogs and pigs. The Europeans charged Hiroki with stealing. Evidence at the inquest showed that Hiroki had threatened to kill McLean, and some stated that Hiroki had told them he had «bne to the surveyor's camp and had a quarrel with the cook, who fired at him, and he (Hiroki) then shot the cook dead.

(FitoM Peess. Agency).

The Government have received a number of telegrams relative to the murder in Moma kaki block. From these it appears that sus picion points to a native named mrohi, at Pahipu, Waitotara, and who is saidtoliaye fled in the direction of Taupo or Waikato. All the* information received, points to the murder being purely a Pliv5 te w o^ ff fnn number bt native chiefs now in Wellington very much shocked at the occurrence, and have sent telegrams to their people to apprehend r the murderer, v Most active measures have been also-taken by the Government for -the apprehension of the Sever.

With reference to the death of the old pensioner named Peter Haley, in Onehunga, " One who knows" writes stating that credit was given to the wrong person in our para graph of Saturday. Our correspondent sa y S : _« if anyone should be praised for looking after the old'man it should be Mr Ternahan, of the Hibernian Hotel, who supplied him with food, clothes^ and other necessaries which he required." Another resident in Onehunga states that although Sergeant Green came to Auckland promptly, had a grave dug, and took every step necessary to have the body buried on Saturday, it was allowed to remain on the floor of the shed where found, in rags and dirt, all Sunday, through some difficulty raised by the Relieving Officer relative to having a coffin made in Onehunga. He^ says the carcase of a dog could not have been more neglected. gi Gas is superior to every other material as __ light-giving agent, not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed.
