Sentence: Impri- Foumout for three calendar months, and two Hoggings of 12 lashes each, during his term of punishment. ALLEGED CATTLE STEALING.

George Eyro, farmer, surrendered his bail, and appeared in answer to a charac of stealing an ox on the 19th August, 1579, the property of Joseph Buchunan. The nrisouer pleaded not guilty. Mr Hesketh appeared for the defendant. Mr Brookiickl, Crown Prosecutor, opened the case.

Joseph Lennox Buchanan, settler nt Tuuhou, ten miles from Port Albert, de posed, in May last he owned several head of cattle on the run ; also a red and white steer branded with an £. He last saw the bjast towards the cud of May; it was a fciine beast, His little girls used to ride it and guide it with flax reius. Prom infor mation received on ISth August he wcut to Walsford, situated on the main road between Port Albert and Mahurangi. Called at Dibble's on the 21st August. Saw Dibble and Eyre. Told them they were the men lie wanted to sen. He understood that Dibble could tell him all about his steer, if it were true that he had driven it from Mr paddock. Re said there was no beast answering his (prosecutor's) descrip tion. About ?ix weeks after, Mr Wyalt gave him further information, in conse quence of which he spoke to the constable of the district. Oil the 9th Nov., Mr Eyre came to witness's house. He said lie had seen a neighbour of the name of Pajne, and Payne had given him s-oiiio information. There had been some misunderstanding between them. Witness ioplicd "There'is no misunderstanding about the lons of the beast " lie said he had fieen such an animal, branded very indistinctly. He told him he had given the matter into the hand 3 of the constable, lie called again the next day, aud thought pos-ibly the beast was witness's, and if so, Sio was willing to pay for the steer, and a'l contingent expenses. He replied he could not come to auy terms as the police had it In hand. Ue next taw the steer iv Janu ary, at Mr Maclean's farm the other side of Cambridge. He was accompanied by Detec tive L'oolan. The brand was quite distinct, "Was certain the beast was his. He laid the information in Auckland, but soruc evidence was taken at Poit Albert, and the case dismissed.

To Mr Ilesketh : He brought all the evidence he could get before Mr White horn, the Kesident Magistrate. _ Subse quently the case was taken up again. He Lelieved that justice had failed iv the first instance. Cume to Auckland for advice, and iucuircd some expense. To His Houor : It was an open run. His Honor : You mean a common, I sup pope. Witness : Do not know what a common is. His Honor : You have not been a farmer in England, I presume. We will say it's a inn. To Mr Ilesketh : Did not charge ,Fred Dibble and Mr F.yre with stealing the steer on the IStli August. Merely told them \i hat he had heard, namely, that they had driven his steer away with other cattle from Fletcher's paddock. He had not apologised to Mr Dibble. He wrote a letter to Mr Dibble, sen, Mr Hesketh said he held the letter in his hand. His Honor said the letter was irrelevant, but Mr flesketh might read it. Cases were unnecessarily lengthened by introducing matters which did not affect cases. The material points were all that the jury had to To Mr Hesketh : lie wrote that letter exonerating Mr Dibble, junr., as he thought !ie had been inisiufonneit. lie now believed the information correct. Most of tbe settlers had cattle on the run. Told prisoner that he had taken two of his cattle away. Found oce afterwards at Mr MiUmgham's. Had but oue steer of that age and brand. The -way to Auckland passed through the Charleston run. Was first told by Wyatt that the steer had been sold in Auckland. He made the statement voluntarily. He hnd put it into Mr Buckland's hands for sale. He said Eyre gave him the steer for Ei'Je. To Mr Brookfield : Wyatt came to him and asked him if he had lost a steer. He s»id yes. He then described the beast. AVjatt said he had sold such a beast, exactly corresponding, at Mr Buckland's for £5*23 Gd, and had handed the money to Mr Eyre. His Honor suggested that such evidence had better coruu direct from Wyatt him self.

John Burdett, settler, deposed to know ing Mr Fletcher's homestead. On the IStli August he went there for some cattle, in company with F. Dibble and his son. The cattle were mustered on the run, 10 in number, and driven iuto the paddock, Had heard that Mr Buchanan had lust two head of cattle. One of the number wax a red slid white Bteer, branded with the letter S. Mr Eyre was not there. He said t.) Dibble he believed th.it was Buchanan's stem, but Dibble »aid "O, uo; it belongs o Green."

Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh : Ho linked again, and felt certain that tho steer was Mr Buchanan's property. The brand was not quite distinct. It had been rouphed. Heard before that Mr Buchanan had lost a steer.

Francis John Burdett corroborated the (statement of his father.

To Mr Ilesketh : Eyre had nothing to do with the cattle on that occasion. There was a controversy about the brand. Dibble c( nlended that it t*as aG. He thought it was B. The brand was not clear. Dibble rent Fletcher for Green for his opinion. '1 homas Fletcher settler, remembered the en trie being driven iuto his stock-yard liy the Burdclts, heard, that Buchanan had Itst a steer, Green had a similar beast, vent on a message to Green from Dibble, was paid for it, had three beasts of his own,

To Mr lleskoth: Gave evidence before Mr Whit-chora, took the oath, his evidence was taken down, supposed it was valueless, diil not say he knew nothing about the case. Heard fhs talk about the ownership of Hie steer, the brand was not legible, the the talk occupied half an hour, it was a custom with settlers to drive any body's r.i'.t'o oil" the run and select their ov.'u tfiom the mob.

'I o Mr Broolcfield. The witnesses told -whit they knew to the Magistrate, and he ,p::t down what he pleased (a laugh.) Samuel Wyatt, settler, deposedjto driving a number of cattle from the paddock to Auckland the 4th of October. There were 21 altogether, 14 belonging to himself, -1 to Hi re, 3to Green and others. George Eyre ■was with him. On going through the lave fao found that he had 23. He told Fyre, who said, " Yes, they we mine. I have six." A man named istevonton helped to chive them to Auck

land for sale. Mr Eyre's six were put in a pen by themselves. Four were branded E, and two 8. He wss present 'when the beasts were sold. The six blasts brought i about £31, for which lie received a cheque ■ and paid over to Mr Eyre. Mr Arthur Eyre (I has a farm, but it is held on 'ease by ji Thomas Fletcher. Heard that Buchanan I had lost a steer. Told him that he had | driven a similar steer to Mr Buckland's yards. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh : He was told by three or four persons that ha had driven Buchanan's beast to Auck land. Mr jangove, of Mahurangi, was one. Did not Gay anything about the brand; was not asked. Did not say thit the steer was sold alone for £5 2s Cd, Did not say anything to Eyre about the brand. Believed the steer was sold alone, because it was lame. Had lived in the district 9 years. Knew nearly all the settlers, but could not say that lie knew all the cattle. (Lift Sitting.)

MADAME URSO, THE CELEBRATED VIOLINIST.

AMONG the r-iwengcrs by tiic Rotorua, which arrived at llus.»ell to-day v»as Madame Urao, the celebiated violinist, who has bad a most successful season iv Aiutrti liii. Referring to this famous artiste's open ing perfornionca iv Sydney, the "Sydney Morning Herald" say* : — An event which Las recently occupied n proroiucnt pl&ce in Lho minds of musicians has begun to be fulfilled. Camilla Urao hai arrived, ami already we have had ouo sixth of the expected feast, for one concert is over. The laces of the large audience assembled in the School of Arts before the advertised hour of commencing, were uniform in the expression of eager anticipation which, when the great artiste appeared, changed to one of breathless attention during the playing; and with the last note the universal admiration and delight broke through nil restraint, and manifested itself in iucesscnt applause, brav.-w, and evrry sign by which tlie iutensest gratification

could be shown. Hdtnc Urso's first solo was the famous variations in the " Witches' Diiuce," by PtganinL a composition which created an immense impression at the time of its production, and to which all violinists of the first rank devote th?m«elve3 with zeal befitting a most advanced study. The fame of the author necessarily invests any vrork of his with unusual iuterest, but the title and distinctive character of this com position have ever surrounded it with excep tional attractions, and its performance ha 3 always been notable in musical matters. To describe Mdme Urso's faultless interpre tation is simply impossible, we can only faintly indicate our impression with the hope of recalling a pleasure to those who were present, and of inciting those who were absent to be so no more. Nothing is more alluringly enchanting than the perfect repose of manner, the rigid fixedness of the body, the apparently entirely abuegation of self" which bo absolutely possesses the artiste, when' engaged with her art—from the moment the violin is iv her hands shs is uo longer Camilla Urso, but an exponent of every composer whoso work she inter prets ; and in rendering Pnganini's thoughts the hearer was insensibly led to the conclu sion that the great artist himself could have wished no better medium for giving his in spirations to tbe world than Jtlio grandly calm woniarj, whose motionless exterior ao passionately and earnestly breathed out his inspirations. The encore was unrcstruin able; and at once Mdme Urao ac cepted it, giving in respoase a valae by Taborowski, the famous liussian. Iv the second part the rolo proper was that most excellent fantasia on Russian airs by Wieniawski. the friend and almost school fellow in mu»ic of th« artist. Answering the storm of applause which greeted this performance, Madame Urso played " The last rose of summer," which exceeded in. our idea any performance, voual or instru mental, which this simply beautiful melody has ever called forth ; it was like the breathings of some angelic being, utterly beyond the ken of mortals, and instead of satisfying roused the enthusiasm stiJl more. Again the artiste appeared; and this time a- mazurka of Wieniawski fell upon our ears with the graceful swing ing motion of the dance, most faithfully pourtrayed in the magic-like manipulation which is so easily produced by the ringers of this matchless executant; mechanical difficulties seem unknown, and yet to those who have only passed the threshold of musical knowledge, it is fully evident that difficulties great and many are there, but ms the water iv its ceaseless flow rubs of!' all angles from the Hints in its course, leaving them polished and smooth and bright, so by dilligent ceaseless work the interpreter ha 3 triumphed over all hard ships, and her musical course is clear and unruffled A3 the purest crystal. Last night Madams Urso's triumph was moat pro nounced, and her capable company ac quitted themselves to tbe delight of their hearers. In our next notice we shall be able to speak in detail of the several per formers, at present we content ourselves with remarks on the general effect on our supreme pleasure in the wondrous exhibi tion o£ Madame Urso, and of our groat grati fication at the accomplished singing and charming voice of Miss Jennie Sergent, whose opening solo, "Lo, hear the gentle lark," was a liner specimen of highly trained vocalisation than it has been our good fortune to hear for many a day. Her success wa3 complele; she was twice encored. Signor Paladini is an old friend, and was welcomed as such. Messrs Saurot and Scherefc did infinitely ijocd service. The latter as accompanist is pcifect. Madame Urso will give her first concert in A uckland on Friday in the Choral Hall, and a plan of the hall is now cpen at the Auckland Music Warehouse, where seats can be reserved. Tickets for the second .seats may also be had at the same place.

A church in Baltimore has as its motto upon the outer wall, "'To tho poor tho gospel is preached/ One morning these words were written under it, "Not here. though," There are four things that look very awkward in a woman. To see her under take to whistle, to throw a stone at a hog, to smoke a cigar, and to climb over a gar dun fence.

A newspaper tells us of n certain gentle man who came to town without a shirt to liis back, and lias managed to accumulate two millions and a half. It's our opinion that he will never live to wear them all out.
