The Execution of Scott and Regan.

The condemned criminals Scott and Rogan Were 'executed, in Darlinghurst gaol, at t) o'clock on Tuesday morning, tfarffcary SWh. Those persons who were $re.i_nt numbered 30 or 40. For the last two or three days Scott had been very irritable, but on Tuesday he became more 'calm on under standing that only a few persons would be admitted to witness the execution. Until a Sate hour on Monday night he was occupied in writing a long statement with reference to the Egerton Bank robbery, a| subject that f«r some days past had affected feim very "much. He desired to say something <m the scaffold, but he was strongly advised "by the Rev, Charles H. Rich, Church of England chaplain to the gaol, who attended him throughout the time he was lying under the sentence of death, to say nothing, and late on Monday night he consented not to apeak when brought out for execution. But up to the last moment he Was irrit able, and when he came upon the plat form and saw the 30 or 4*o visitors and others present he sard to the chaplain, " What does this mean 1 What do these people mean? I mYist speak." But on the ■chaplain assuring him there was nobody .present but Magistrates and officials, he did not insist upon saying anything. Rogan ■was stolid and indifferent. When the two men were on the scaffold, and the white _.;\f. had been drawn over their faces, they shook hands. Then the bolt was drawn. Scott died instantly*. Rogan struggled con vulsively for a lew minutes, but the gaol doctor -considered Rogan was insensible (from the time he tell. The Rev. Canon Rich was assisted in his attentions to Scott •by the Rev. Mr Macready, Presbyterian SHtnister, Avho had known Scott wheii a boy in the North of Ireland, and had known his family. Rogan was attended by the Rev. Father Ryan, Roman Catholic chaplain to the gwol. It may be mentioned, now that the execution is over, that when Regan's mother and sister had their first interview with them in the gaol he behaved in a most brutal nranner towards them*, Using fright fc'.i language. Scott, We are informed, •denied to the last that he shot constable EJowen, and declared that he knew nothing concerning the death of Mr F. M. Bates, ■the actoi-, who, it will be remembered, was believed to have beeu murdered by beiag thrown down a steep bank on the Flemington Road, near Melbourne, and whose death some persons have thought Scott had something to do with. '_ he photograph of Rogan was sent from Sydney to the police authorities in Mel bourne, and a report received in return stated that the photograph had been recog nised as that of a prisoner who had served two sentences in Victoria. There is no doubt from the information in the hands of the Government, that two of the younger members of the Wantabadgery gang of bushrangers—Wrcneckie and Williams— ran away from the rest of the gang as soon as they learned the real intentions of Scott, and while the gang were in tho neighbour hood of Mansfield, Victoria, and on their way to New South Wales border, but they were brought back and forced to remain, WrenecMe being thrashed by Scott. Bennett joined the gang only the day before Wantabadgery was stuck-up. Nesbitt, Scott, and Rogau were together in Mel bourne, and doubtless planned their sub sequent career there. Rogan appears to have been known by several names, for he is mentioned in the Victorian police reports as Rogan, alias Charles Brown, ■alias Thomas Brown, alias Baker. Scott ate plentifully and slept well, even up to Monday night, the greater part if not the whole of which he spent in writing. It was a farewell letter to his parents in New Zealand, and Tuesday was his father's birthday. Besides poetry and prose unlimited, Scott is said to have written a full and, as he has affirmed, truthful autobiography, giving the chief incidents of his career from his boy hood, and has dedicated the narrative to the respectable woman who had so mysteri ously, yet withal devotedly, loved him. This woman left|her home, relatives, and Srieads ia Victoria, and since her arrival in Sydney has been working might and main, night and day in behalf of Scott and Rogan. Scott communicated with most of his friends and relations while in his condemned cell, and on Monday requested the person re ferred to to procure him a number of bibles, prayer, hymn, and other books. These were furnished, aud he inscribed and ad dressed ouc to each of his relatives and priucipal acquaintances in different parts of Australia, to whom they have bean for warded. His physical condition improved while he was condemned, and that hdggard appearance which he presented at the close of the trial was completely removed. He would chat incessantly with those who visited him, and often paced his narrow.cell in the merriest of humours, while he spoke of his approaching death with astounding complacency. There were time 3 when he would fly, without apparent cause, into violeut rage, particularly at one time upon the receipt of what is said to have been an anonymous letter, in which lie was described as a coward who had attempted to place the blame of the bush r'angiug exploit on the shoulders of his con federates. Scott's irons were knocked off by the prison blacksmith. These irons weigh 61b, and Scott remarked, as the rivets were cut through, "Well, that's a relief." Rogan looked very miserable when the irons were knocked off. He said nothing, but bent his head on his breast. The distance between the condemned cell and the gallows is scarcely 20 paces. When the two doomed men entered the corridor of death, a change came over them. Rogan forgot the cowardice with which he has been charged, and submitted to the pinioning by the hangman with a ghastly joke. Scott, who looked wretched and haggard, evidently from the want of the previous night's Bleep, was nervous and fidgety. Scott's knowledge of Scripture history was exceedingly good. He often spoke of bis iutimacy with Bishop Selwyn and the martyred Bishop Patterson, with whom he was well acquainted ; and a few moments before he died he produced a fine photo graph of Bishop Patterson, which he presented in turn to Canon Rich as a memento. He (Scottl placed his initials upon the back of the photograph, with the date. The written confession of Scott was handed to Rev. Canon Rich on Tuesday. During the past few days a painful event occurred, which greatly disturbed Scott. Scott's confession, now in the hands of Canon Rich, will require grave considera tion before being made public. In involves the character of some persons, and makes out a chain of conspiracy, the truth or false hood of which will soon be proved. Messrs Spain, Sly, and Salway will conduct the preliminary investigation, but the Colonial Secretary will be entrusted with the MSS left with Mr Bich, and will, in all proba bility, forward the statement to the Inspec tor-General of Police. It was announced that Mrs Amess was going to claim the body of Scott, and have him buried at Gundagai, and that Mrs Rogan would defray the expenses of her son's funeral. Mrs Rogan and her daughter, who is a barmaid in Victoria, however, left no provision for the burial, and the work was done by the Government. Mrs Amess provided a superior coffin for Scott to the ordinary ones provided by the gaol. Two gaol warders accompanied the hearse, which proceeded via Bourke and Devonshire streets to the station, from whence the bodies were taken to the part of Necropolis set apart for the burial of murderers who have suffered the extreme penalty of the law. Scott's father was a magistrate of County Down, in Ireland, and owned lands and houses in that county. He is B.A. of Trinity College, Dublin. Much has been said about "the mysterious lady." We are requested by Canon Rich to say that Mrs Amess, who was engaged to Scott, is a clever, well-informed, and highly-respect able lady. She resides in Victoria, and has a son nine years of age. She is a teacher by profession, and has excellent references from some of the most influential families in Melbourne. Mr ii' Gill took a cast of the heads of Rogan and Scott. Mr M'Gill who had taken casts of the most notorious criminals heretofore known, says that Scott's is far the worst. Thirty years phrenological experi ence convinces Mr M'Gill in this opinion. He says Scott's head was so formed that it was morally impossible tor him to tell the truth or to be honest; that he was void of all moral courage, very secretive, and would keep up to the last anything he once said ; that he could not stand contradiction with calmness, and that he had such a love of life and its pleasures that he would not care how he gained his ends. It is such a head, says Mr M'Gill, that it would be a constant source of annoyance and trouble to those about him, and, in fact, it would cost £1,000 a year to keep him in gaol. Bogan's head shows great animal propensities, great cruelty, and dishonesty; in fact, in almost every particular, one of the lowest stamps of men Mr M'Gill ever handled. The only redeeming feature about Scott's head was slight benevolence. During the debate on the Wantababgery bushrangers in the Legislative Assembly, Mr Cameron said that he had been informed by Mr Williams, the foreman of the jury who tried the bushrangers, that the woman who had been interesting herself on behalf of Scott had called on Mrs Stroh, tho wife of the juryman alleged to be insane, and offered her a sum of money to swear that her husband was not in his right mind.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before J. E. Macdonald )§__., R.M.) bRUSICENNESS. Mary Cftrmichael, Richard Sullivan, and Thofnas Jackson were fined 5s and coats for this offence, with the usual alternative of imprisonment; Mary Hughes, William Inkster, and William Moore were mulcted in the increased penalty of 10s and cost- ; in default 48 hours' imprisonment. John O'Shea, a recent arrival from the Waikato. was convicted and discharged,, and Michael McEllway was remanded for eight days, as he was found to be suffering from an attack , of deliri'u'hi tremens. VAGRANCY. D. M. Ambrose pleaded guilty to a breach of the Vagrant Act by having no visible lawful means of support. Pub-Inspector Pardy said that the man arrived by the Hero in December last, and since then he had been lounging alout town, Sleeping in outhouses, etc. The prisoner said that he had been robbed of his money in a hotel about a month ago, and he had sustained life since that time by the fruit which he picked from trees assisted by a few charitable crusts of bread. A fortnight's imprisonment was awarded. Wm. James Jervis, a young man, was charged with a breach of the Vagrant Act by being found by night without lawful excuse on the premises of Samuel Honston, on the 31st January. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mrs Elizabeth Houston said that she knew the prisoner,who had been lodging in her house. Her husband had recently de parted tor Sydney, and the lodger also went away in order to dig for gum. On Satur day night the prisoner came back. She told him to go to his brother's house as she did not want him any longer. He Would not do so, and on being again refused ad mission he broke in the door. Constable Abrams having also given evi dence, it was found that the Act hardly applied to the case, and the accused was therefore discharged with a caution. LARCENY. Jeremiah Sullivan was charged with the theft of a number of small articles, worth in all £2 os, the property of Andrew Burns. Mr Tyler appeared for the prisoner and pleaded guilty on his behalf. In doing so he made a statement in extenuation of the offence. The prisoner, he said, had been for some 30 years in Auckland, and up to the present time had borne an unimpeach able character. Beyond being once charged with drunkenness, he had never done any thing that might retlect upon himself, and he certainly had never before been sus pected of crime, still less accused of it. He had been in the service of one employer for 18 years, and still was in his service. He was respectably connected, and had ever been known as an honest, well-intentioned man. It appeared, unfortunately for him, that of late he had been accustomed to drink and on Wednesday night he was in toxicated at the Occidental Hotel. While there he got into a dis turbauce and afterwards he retired to, and slept ia a room where the things he was charged with stealing were kept. On leav ing he took them with him to his sister's house, and on recovering his sobriety he was so ashamed of himself that he failed to return them. The articles however were not concealed and ou Saturday he was ar rested. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the stolen arti cles were taken from the carpet bag of a lodger at the hotel. He had known the prisoner for a very long time and he was quite surprised that such a charge should be laid against him. He felt sure that had the man been sober he would not have com mitted the offence. The prison sr was then charged with steal ing a coat belonging to Maurice O'Sullivan, and worth 255. Mr Tyler pleaded guilty for his client. Sub-luspector Pardy said that although there were two offences they were both committed at the same time, and under the same set of circumstances. In order to consider how he should deal with the cases, His Worship adjourned them till to-morrow morning, the prisoner being admitted to bail in his own recog nisance for £50. John Reid, an elderly man, was charged with the theft of a pair of boots worth lis 6d, the property oi tienry Jacobs. The accused pleaded guilty to the charge. bub-Inspector Pardy remarked that Reid was desirous of going to gaol, and to the amusement of the Court, the man smilingly nodded assent. He was sentenced to a month's imprison ment. UNLAWFULLY WOUNDING. Thos. McCarthy was charged with stab bing with intent to kill a young man named William Cane, at Mercury Bay. On the application of Sub-Inspector Pardy the case was adjourned till to-morrow. THE LICENSING ACT. Mary Haines, the interesting young tobacconist of Queen-street, was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act by selling alcoholic liquor to one Henry Reiley, without being possessed of a license so to do. Mr Tyler appeared for the defendant, and on her behalf denied the charge. Sub-Inspector Pardy in stating the case said that the defendant was a tobacconist and kept a shop in Queen-street. Some ladies had been stopping with her, and gentlemen friends were inthe habit of calling upon them to indulge in pleasant conversa tion. Amongst these privileged persons was a youne man named Beilly. Shortly after his visit the ladies fell out, and the result was that one of them interviewed the police, and complained that Miss Haines had sold liquor to him. His Worship inquired if the Sub-Inspector meant to say that the tobacconist's shop was a mask for something else. Sub-Inspector Pardy : I did uot say so. His Worship : I thought you wished to draw that inference. Ellen Norman, a resident at the Ellerslie Hotel, was the first witness called. She deposed that on the 19th ult. she was stopping with Miss Haines and Mrs Smith. On that day a young man named Henry Beilly caUed, and after he had been there for some time he asked for a bottle of beer. With Miss Haines' approval she took a bottle of ale from under the counter, for which, and some cigarettes, Reilly paid with a pound note. She did not see the change. It was a custom with Miss Haines to buy a dozen or two dozen bottles of ale at a time, and they were generally kept behind the counter. She was employed by Miss Haines as servant and left her service in consequence of some words which she had with her. Mrs Smith left at the same time, and for a similar reason. Henry Reiley deposed to being in the house on the day in question, and called for a bottle of ale and some cigarettes. He had long been acquainted with Miss Haines. She was a very old friend. He paid for the cigarettes, Is 6d, and not for the ale. Cross-examined by Mr Tyler : He asked Miss Haines herself for the cigarettes. To His Worship : He laid down a note in payment, and received 18s 6d in change. Mr Tyler contended that the caee must fail. Mr Reiley purchased the cigarettes as the girls "wanted a smoke," but the ale was given by Miss Haines., who shouted for her old friend, Reiley. Miss Haines would like to give evidence. His Worship thought it was unnecessary. The evidence already showed that the money paid was the amount of the cigar ettes and not the amount for the ale, which was 2s; he could not therefore in the face of such evidence find a conviction. Defendant was discharged. This was all the ordinary bnsiness.

Correspondence.

THE DEPUTATION TO MR HURST.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Your comments on the action of the above deputation has caused a good deal of surprise to various members thereof, and they certainly have some reason for com plaint. I think there can be no doubt that you, are linder sonic misappreliensiori, and that instead of charging us with over zeal your leader might just as readily have been turned in the opposite direction. If the re quisition can be called a " wordy " docu ment, Mr Hurst at any rate was prepared with a far more extensive document of the same description, intended as an answer to a request which he was not supposed to have yet seen, although he had no doubt been apprised of its contents. But as to over zeal you certainly err, the feeling amongst the deputation being that Mr Hurst should have every fair chance to put his case before his constituents. Pardon me for going back over the ground a little. One of the members for City West having turned to the right about in his politics, and hundreds of people having been given ;the opportunity for saying "Did'nt|l tell you he would sell you." The constituency instead of waiting for three or perhaps live years before taking action, proved themselves zealous enough in the liberal cause, to telegraph at once to Mr [Hurst and received for reply, "Sus pend judgment, I will explain when I ar rive." We have no reason for doubting that many have complied with Ml: Hurst's request, whilst others having read the daily reports of all parliamentary proceedings in the papers, have bebn able to arrive more readily to a conclusion on the silbj ect. Mr R. Wood's speech was published by you in full and I think it contained the utmost that could be said, under the circumstances, in explanation of his action. He had evi dently not lost his notes. Mr Hurst has been back some time; Di. Wallis has addressed the electors; Mr Swanson has spoken to his constituents after a fashion, [ through the press, at the banquet given the other day. Yet Mr Hurst, that most polite gentleman, is found treating his best friends most unfairly, leaving them with theirjudgment suspended, and keeping them in that uncomfortable position, till at last, Mr Editor, enough zeal is got together to put into form a most courteous requisi tion signed by 300 electors, and simply asking Mr Hurst to come forward, and square this matter off. Now begins a game of fence between about 20 of the 300 electors armed with a requisition, and Mr Hurst (certainly a master of the art) on the other side, ready with what we may call a wordy document in reply. The written reply was simply Mr Hurst's first offence, a surprise. It is easy to find fault. The deputation preferred that Mr Hurst should address his constituents, and I certainly expected to see the reply in the STAR of the same evening, as Mr Hurst seemed quite anxious to get it published, and I have not found it in your contempor ary this morning, but I do find the case put a little more reasonably. Whilst finding fault in the deputation for not hearing Mr Hurst's document, it says plainly that the whole matter could have been settled by that gentleman at once csmplyng with the request of a large number of electors, and thus proving that the trouble arose through Mr Hurst's objection to do so. I therefore, contend that we were somewhat deficient in zeal, that we did not take exception to the contents of a paper we had not heard, and that if you will fairly read the requisition, yoa will find it headed in a most inoffensive manner, and I repeat that the deputation appeared to have but one feeling, and that was, that Mr Hurst should have every fair chance for placing his case before his constituents.—Your*, &c, W.F.

AMATEUR NIGGER MINSTRELS.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —As one of the audience in St. James' Hall last Tuesday night, permit me to thoroughly endorse your report of the per formance and to express my hearty approval of your able reply to " Amateur's " remarks, and the well-merited rebuke administered to that individual. It is about time that these amateur frauds, and especially those of the " nigger " species, were criticised in the manner they really deserve. The charity of newspaper reports has hitherto covered a multitude of sins against good music and common sense, that ought to bo exposed in all their ugliuess and absurdity. I would be tho last person to decry the efforts of any one in a good cause (and the removal of adebtfromanecclesiastical build ing may possibly be a good cause) were I fully satisfied of this being the chief motive. But the fact is that these amateurs seize every oppoitunity of disporting themselves before the public, and because they osten sibly appear on behalf of a good cause, im pudently demand crowded audiences, enthusiastic applause, and the unqualified praise of the .Press. Your re port of last Tuesday's concert erred, if it erred at all on the side of mercy. Of the nine darkies who saug aud performed that night, six ought to keep peifectly dark for the future, aud abandon burnt coik and vocalisation for ever. Of the remaining three, the most promising vocalist is the young man who sang "The Vacant Chair." With care and cultivation he will develope a very good barytone voice. The sougs, &c., by the ladies deserved the applause which greeted them, and merited your favourable notice. I rejoice to see that four of the amateur niggers have solemnly resolved never to appear before tho public again. This is serious, and will doubtless cause considerable commotion iv the public mind, but I sincerely trust that they will remain in their dignified retirement, and that at least two more -will shortly be added to their number. Like Abou Ben Adhem, " may their tribe Increase." In conclusion, sir, allow me to say as a parting observa tion, that the male performers last Tuesday night may be first-class Sunday-school teachers, but they are uncommonly poor "niggers."—Yours, See., Tambo. To the Editor : Sir, —Re your remarks in Saturday evening's issue, with reference to the concert; in St. James' Hall on the 27th inst., will you kindly permit me to venture a word or two in favour of the severely criticised performers. In the first place I beg to state, that as one of the audience, I was highly satisfied with the performance, which certainly was to my mind, fully worth the amount charged at the doors, which fees you would infer were excessive. In the second place, I feel it my duty as an independent person and a constant reader of your paper, to state that the above concert was quite up to, and 1 might safely say, above the average of such amateur per formances in Auckland. The proprietors of some, of which I could mention who boast considerable experience iv such matters, but whose success was not so apparent, nor were the performers so severely criticised as on this occasion. Moreover, I have a distinct recollection of more than one amateur concert in this city where the performers individually and collectively, were not nearly so well versed in their parts as those of St. James' Hall ; but notwithstanding this, they were brought before the public through your paper as almost the pink of perfection, whereas, if they had been allowed to take part in the entertainment which forms tho subject of this epistle, the said entertainment would have been in considerably more jeopardy than without them. In the third place, although in your reply to " Amatuer's" letter you bring forward your reporter "as a thoroughly competent musical critic; yet I suppose he is not infallible. In fact the present instances exposes his liability to error in a palpable manner. For instance he makes such erratic statements with regard t- the sing ing of two of the performers in particular, viz., Messrs [Parish and Spry. In conclu sion I might say that even it this entertain ment was not up to the standard of ama teur concerts usually attended by this most able reporter and musical critic, he might have been more lenient on account of the object for which the concert was got up ; feeling assured that the performers would do their best, particularly those who volun teered their (by no means indifferent) talent to improve the (.entertainment. —Yours &c, Tom Hirst.

LOWER SYMONDS STREET.

Sir, —I believe that some year or so since the City Council decided to kerb and channel lower Symonds-street, and as no action appears to have been taken beyond voting the necessary expenditure, I venture to call the attention of the Corporation to the disgraceful state of that part of the city. At the present time, from Wellesley-ptreet West to the Alten Road, the road and foot path are overgrown with rank grass and weeds, especially on the eastern side, but during the wet weather it is impossible for the residents to pass from the roadway to the footpath, as about twelve feet on each side of the road is a perfect sea of mud. I'he western side of the city having had a lion's share of the rates expended on it for some time past, I think the eastern portion should now claim the attention of the authorities. In my own case, I cannot get a vehicle near the footpath in front of my house after a few hours' rain, and the kennel is like a quagmire covered with some inches of water. During the approaching winter 1 trust we shall have access to our houses without having a chance of getting «' bogged" in the attempt.—l am, &c., Adrikl. Lower Symonds-street, January 20,1880.

REPORT OF T)R, F. MOSLER, PROFHSSOR, AT THK UNIVKRSIIY OF GREfPoWALD. Epitome of an article of the " Berliner kil nischen Wochenschrift" No. 2J, 1879, a medical periodical, published at Berlin, with references to inhalations of the Extract Eucalypti c Folio (Sander and Sons' Extract KucalyDtus) in cases of diptheria, by Dr. F. Moaler, professor at the University ot Greifawald, Germany, viz., *' Having experienced tho advantages derived from inhalations of trie H^tract Eucalypti » Folii in cases of echinoe'occen of the lungs with bronchial affections. I made no my mind to try the same remedy in casei of Diphtheria. Dr. Salenz, a pupil of mine, has since, in hi»disserta tlon, ropoited the particulars of the cases treated, and I may be allowed briefly to refer to one of tho oases enumerated therein. Ida X., of Pa«ewalk, twenty years of age, hadl on the I9th February, 1879. a lit of chilling fever with violent pains in her throat. She called upon a medical practitioner, who. recognizing: at once the case to be one of diphthcritis, made her enter my klinik. where J had to separaiO her from the other patients. The patient, wel. developed for her af_e. was complaining of pains in her throa', which grow worse when she en deavoured to swallow, speak, or move the neck. The submaxillar and submental glands were much swollen, and the fever was of a remitting flature. Th_ condition of the patient wason the 22ud of February: Warmth=3o.*l C, pulse=96, respiration-20. Prescription: Extract euc. c, folus'to be inhaled for twenty minntcs every hour. The following day the patient threw out small particles of exliudat. The local appear ances iv tho pharynx grew worse, ana tbo exsudats were more extended over the mucoua membrane. That incivaso of symptoms caused me to augment the doae to one tea spoonful of extract euc. used for inhala tion i also tho inhalations were sontinned during the night. On the 27th patient got better and the fever bad subsided. On examining the-. pharynx it was easily to be noticed that the pro cess oc diphtheritia gave way, and on the lltn of March the patient was restored to health and discharged. The report in question says tbalf the Eucalypti Extract in all eases of diphtheritica _roved successful; it also sets forth cases of laryngitis and b_oncbit:e, chronici, pneumonia, crouposa dexta, ac te pharyngitis, combined with laryngitis, treated succsESfally with tho Eucalypti ttxtract. (Those diseases constitute nearly all the aflec t'.ons ot the throat and respiratory orgass, mostly caused by noglected colds) . The above reported cure ot diphtheria, a di sease which is always attended by fever, proves tile, efficacy of our Extract Eucalyptus in all cases of fever, and as It at the same time disin fects all wound', and checks inflammation, it will be a positive cure of nearly all diseases, chiefly, Fevers, Rheumatism, Colds, Wounds of all kinds, Sprains, Bruises, Etc.
