LONDON, August 27.

SIR ARTHUR GORDON. THE opiuions of the press on tho appoint ment of your new Governor are almost uniformly favourable with the single ex ception of tho " European Mail." The writer in our useful, but slightly dry con temporary, lays no claim to sentimental sympathies with interesting nborigencs, but expends it all on tho joy tha white settler* in Fiji will feel on beiug well-rid of Sir Arthur. The "Spectator" says: " We believe both appoiutmeuta to be good the hitter (Sir Arthur Gordon's) an admi rable one. If indeed, Sir Arthur Gordon had been sent sti night to the Capo, we should have felt even more confidence that the various diiiicult native questions there would ha ably treated. His administra tion of tho Fiji Islands has boon a singular success, and nothing ciin show what that success has baen more remarkably than the translations he has sent us back of the ualivo debates in tho Fiji Council or Parli ament; which, though without legislative power, brings before the Governor the giiov anr.es of the natives, and represents to him native opinion in a very graphic and useful form. The time has been wheu Sir Arthur Gordon might have been of great use in New Zealand, but just now Maori questiouß run casi'3', while we should have thought his iullucnce nt the Capo would have ba<n of the lirst moment." Sir Arthur Gordon is undoubtedly a man with n decided and well defined character. Conscientious, upright, and withal prompt and decisive in action, so that whether you agree with him or not you will at least know with whom you have to deal. He will have ample scope tor his superfluous energies in the ex ercise of hrs duties a* Hiyh Commissioner of the Western Pacific From Fiji to New Zealand is a decided step in advance, as the latter is looked upon ai tho best of the Colonial Governorship*, to siy nothing of the increase of salary.

SIU HERCULES IJOBINSON.

Some writers had spoken of Sir Henry .Hiilwer for tho Cape, but no one at all well informed thought it a prubable appointment, whereas the announcement that Sir Hercules Robinson would uudortako this moat dilli cult position gnvo universal satufnctlon. That Conservative orgau, the "Morning Post," is quoted by its equally Conservative contemporary, the " St. Jaiuea' Gazette,'' to the effect "that as Sir Iloicules Robinson has been such an ardent advocate of federa tion in the Australasian colonies ho would probably continue to enlarge upon its ad vantages. "Ho is not likely to be 1e33 in favour of establishing a South African Dominion than he has been of forming an Australian Uniou, for, however desirable might be the latter, there is a far greater urgency for the other. When circumstances justify the South Afiicun Federation Question being brought forward, no one could bo holding the ollicc of Governor of the Cape Colony who would be better qualified to exercise such influence on the subject as might be desired by the Impeiia! Government."

The Hokitika Tragedy.

[PER UNITED PJIKSS ASSOCIATION.)

HOKITIKA, Tuesday. List evening David Hutcheaon was com mitted for tho murder of his wife Margaret and his infant son Patrick. The principal witness, prisoner's mate Kearson, deposed : 1 returned homo about half-past 11 on the night of the 20th September. When I' came within thirty yards from my own place I heaid a woman shriek, and a kind of choking sound followed. I listened, and heard some noise from Hutcheson's place. I walked towards my own place. When I got theie I heard a noisj ngain as if there wa3 sciarnbl.ug on the boards. I went inside and lit the caudle. Soou after that I heard a noise as it furniture was being shifted. I heard Mrs Hutchison say, "Davy! Davy I what are you going t) do':" I heard again some noise aa of a scullle, aud then there was quietness, The scuillc continued a minute or so. I then saw a light in Hutcheson's house. I went to my back window facing the back, and thought I heard a noise as of thuds again. The noise ceiaed quickly, and I wont to bed. I thought the prisoner was beating his wife. I lived near the Hutche sons three or four months. I heard dis- Sutcs and quarrels between prisoner and eceascd. 1 was aroused next morning be tween 2 and 3 o'clock, by Mary and Johnny Hutclieson. They sang out that their house was ou lire, and mother and the baby were inside. The door was open, and tho kitchen was in ilaines. I saw prisoner and' the children. The latter were standing some distance away, while the prisoner was moving back some things from the lire. Prisoner was crying. There seemed to be a sheet of fire from the upper part of the kitchen door to the tiro place. Tho space between the door aud the stretcher was not on hre ou the flooring, which was burning everywhere else. I then went round the house again, aud found that tho {lames had not then reached the bedroom. Jiy this time three or four minutes must have elapsed, I then asked the prisoner if he had seen his wile. He told ma that he Bbook her by the leg, but the heat was too strong. He remarked that he might have saved the baby but for Mary singing out that Maggie was iuside. I saw he had saved some blankets, and I asked him bow he got them out, as I, knew they had been in the kitchen. Prisoner had on his hat, shut, trousers, vest, and boot* when I saw Mm. In the morning about 7 o'clock the remains of the baby were found lying alongside the stretcher. The remains were much charred. There was a heap of charred bones found near tho middle of the room. Subsequently I with Mrs Maher went to have a look through the debris of the lire. Wo found some bones close to the fireplace in a dilFerent direction to where the prisoner had said the cradla had been lyio"-. These where^ he said, the remains of the infant. I knew prisoner and his wife had.a row a shori time ago. She appeared to be lame after the row. She snowed me a swollen finger. She abo had a cut on her head. Jive or six months ago she came to the claim once or twice where we were working, and has used quarrelsome language towards him. After all was burned the prisoner and I tat down on a log. He staid, " Well, lam on the broad of my back again." I replied that the hre would not much matter if his wife and child had been saved. He said, "Things can't be ffluch worse than they I were."

A dozen other wHuckscm were examined, the evidence being purely circumstantial. It was feworu that prisoner had^saved several articles f ioui the room in which his wife and child were consumed.

The prisoner olfered no defence, but by the direction of his solicitor (Mr I'm kiss) said, " I am innocentof the charge."

Melanesian Mission.

PROGRESS OF THE MISSION IN

SOLOMON ISLANDS,

Thk following interesting items have been received by a gentleman iv Auckland : — Bishop Selwyn writes on August 20th that he had made a successful visit to Santa Cruz, being well received, and that ho was able to leave the Rev. M. AYadrokal and his wife there, aud see them comfortably settled before he left. It is 'to be hoped that this will at last lead to this island of sad memories being permanently won over by the persistent aud courageous efforts of the Bishop. Elsewhere everything had gone on smoothly. Mr Penny writes from the Soloman Islands on July 3rd—The Southern Cross left him at Ysabel, whence ! he trusted to getting taken back with his boat to Florida, but that though several | called, they were not going his way. "My j friend, Captain Fergusaon, did not turn up j for some reason or other (Mr Penny little dreamed of the actual reason), or he would have taken me nnd my boat to Boli. Seeing I was in a dilliculty, we determined to go to Gaeta iv the boat—Micro were two objections —my having to give up my boat to the Ysabel oarty to return iv, aud the risk of trusting inexperienced boatmen to make • so long a voyage in a boat, as from Boli to I Isabel. Wo had a crow of six good oars, so that we could take turn and turn about. Fortnno favoured us, and it was calm on the night we were ready to start. After a hearty supper nt 11 p in., we .got off at 1 a. m. It was a splendid night with a moon within li day or two of full. We had 20 miles to go to windward to reach Buona Vista, and a strong current against uh. Wo dUI not reach our lirat land till 10.30 a.m., and only stayed to bathe and breakfast, and then on to ono of tho islets olf Bucna Vista. Hero wo anchored tho boat and slept till tea timo. We got off agaiu at sunset, and rowed to Olevuga, 12 miles, whore we rested aud had supper. Wo arrived here just as the totul eclipso of the moon (June 2-2-23) was beginning, which I was able to predict. At 1 a.m. we started aguiu, but could not co far, we wcro then voiy tired, and nt 4 a.m. worn glnd to anchor tho boat and sleep till sunrise. After breakfast wo startod to do the last part of our voyage, which was dillieult. The trade wind had now sprung up fresh and freshening, but by rowing and beating we got to Gaota (destination) nt sunset, 41 hours from starting, having rested 10 hours, and gone G3 miles to windward. We received a hearty welcome, aud stayed here six days, then went on to Boli, and the day after our arrival there, I started the Vsabel party on their return. I had made up my mind to go with them bad tha weather been at all dirty, rather than run any risk, but fortune again favoured us, and a most porfect day enabled me to wish them Goodspecd without anxiety. Tho day following was another lovely day, a light trade wind, and no sea to speak of, which sot my mind at rest about their reaching Ysabel all right."

SUPREME COURT-CIVIL SITTINGS. YESTERDAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) McLkod v. Hay.—Claim, £300, damages for trespass and asßanlt. There was also a special claim of £50 for trespass of cattle.— Mr Tyler for tho plaintiff, and Mr E. Hesketh for defendant.

The following evidence was taken after we went to press : —

Dr. Lee gave evidence as to the state iv which the plaintiil' was when he consulted him at tho early part of the present year. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr Hoskcth then addressed the jury for the defence, after which ho called the de-

Clmrlc3 Hay deposed that ho was a miner in tho employ of the Manganese Co. at Waiheko. He had been resident on the island for the last six years. When he entered the Company's service he was told by the manager tliat he could live in a dwel ling house near the landing place, which was about half-an-acre in area. There was a shed near the house, and it was used for the storage of manganese. He had also i seen settlers place their stores there. Iv October 1575, he was working for the plaintiff, and the house was then where it is now. Witness at that time wanted a house built nearer bis place of work, nud plaiutilf suggested that lie should shift the dwelling house referred to, as it was as muc!i|uis as anyone else's, seeiug that it was upon Government land. He (witness) de clined to move it. Last year, while witness was working for the Manganso Co., the manager gave him and the other man orders to clear away any obstructions which might bo thrown iii the road to the beach. Towards the end of January, 1880, the plaintiff pro ceeded to fence the road. Twice a post-hole which he dug was filled up, and then the plaintiil' sat down in it. He was asked to get out of the way in order to let a bullock wagon pass, but he refused ; he was, there fore, lifted out. Ho returned to the hole and was again lifted out. No violence was ottered him. The only part which witness took in the matter, was to lift plaintiffs witness's aukles out of the hole, and then to till it up. There was no ill feeling between him and the plaintiff. Isaac Merrick deposed that lie had lived ou Waihckc for thirty years. Ho sold the land in question to the plaintiff. The place indicated on the plan had been used as a road for more than twenty-seven years. Witness never prevented anyone from using it, and he gave it to the public. It was surveyed by a Government surveyor (Mr H. N. Warner), and witness threw iv an aneular piece of landing place, which was to be used as a depot for goods landed. The Court adjourned at 4.45. THIS DAY. The case was resumed this morning, the evidence of Issac Merrick being continued. In examination by Mr Tyler he said that that part of tho property containing the dwelling honse and shed he formally dedi -1 cated as a public landing place long before he sold to the plaintiff. It was a triangular piece of land. [A plan havinu been pro duced the witness indicated the limitß of the reserve.] A lease of the land to Mr Fronde and the deed of conveyance to the plaintiff on its sale subsequently were then produced and tho witness asked to explain why they made no mention of any reserva tion for public purposes. His reply was that no explanatiou was required, inasmuch as McLeod (the plaintiff) knew as much as he did about the reserve.

Joseph Hodgson deposed that he was a settler of 32 years' standing upon Waiheke. During all that time he had known of a road through Castle's land to " the landing place." Until lately he had never heard of any interruption to the public use ot this landing place, and for many years he had used it regularly himself. That was when his boats were engaged in carrying firewood to Auckland. The depth of water there wasscven or eight feet. On being asked if he thought it possible for Mr McLeod to lose 40 head of cattle pn the island within twelve months, tho witness leplied that ho never knew that McLeod possessed such a number of cattle. He had heard of no reward being offered by McLeod for lost cattle, and neither'had the plaintiff told him that he had even missed any auimals. William Hodgson, son of last witness, and John Trace, gave similar evidence. Mr Denham, Government Surveyor, deposed that about 1868 he went down to Waiheke to determine v line of road for the benefit of the settlers. That was the general charactor of the instructions which he received. He surveyed the road and put in pegs at the various angles, carrying the work on till he reached the boundary of the creek. He saw Mr Merrick on the ground, and that gentleman seemed quite satisfied with the surveying operations, The land ing place which he reserved was only a small plot of ground—not more than an acre in extent. Mr Hesketh remarked that the original place was destroyed in the Post-office fire This being the [conclusion of the defen? dant's case, The plaintiff (Robert McLeod) was called for the purpose of contradicting some of the the statements made by several of tho wit nesses for the defence.

Horatio Nelson Warner, surveyor, also gave evidence. (Left Sitting).

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

This afternoon a serionsaccidenthappened to a boy at the Auckland Timber Company's Mill. He was working at a planing machine when the board got out of place and struck him violently in the stomach. In falling back the lad received futther injury in the back. He was taken to tho hospital in an unconscious state.
