Mr. Commissioner Kemp.

SIS RETIREMENT AETfcR FoUTY

YEARS' SERVICE.

"We have mwch pleasure in noticing ike (farewell addresses presented by the settlers at Mahurangi, the Wade.lmd Hfelensvillc -to Mr Kemp on his last sitting as Resident Magistrate. He is, we believe, one of the •oldest officers in the ttolony, and Auckland may fairly claim him as one of her own offspring, since his connection with the Go vernment was coeval with the signing of ■the well-known Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, and although employed in other parts of the ■colony, his position as Civil Commissioner cmd Resident Magistrate in Auckland has maxXe his name familiar with us for the last ten years. Tbe assumption by the Crown of the government of these islands opened the way to public employment.and Mr Kemp, wiiJtt some others, entered the list on the staff of Captain Hobson—the first Governor •of the colony. Since then he has, with but (little interruption, been actively employed 5n different Department, but chiefly sn acquiring by purchase suitable blocks of land.lonjwhichlthejsettlers, as they arrived, might make comfortable homes for them selves and families. With the foundation ot this Colony Mr Kemp has, therefore, been more or less identified, and on looking tiack to what was once a wilderness and waste, it would almost seem to be but the (memory of a dream—so rapidly has the change for the better been accomplished. Over many thousands of acres the nativp title has, throuch his hands, been ex*J in^ guished—the Canterbury plains, Y no " wn as Kemp's D«ed,have been sold ___ an up3e t; i price of £2 per acre, yielding ' iargc r eWl J ues to tbat province ; the R^nuera block, one! of the most picture^ Auckland's suburbs formerly reserved by the Wcive owners for their own use, whs, after much trouble and n<v ßot j at i oll] pur(^ ase( i by him in 1850, on. behalf of the Government, for £5,000, ->.-_id on being cut up and sold, realise;,* the sum of £30,000-a welcome svldidon to a wsVl-nigh exhausted Treasury. -A:s a Maori linguist, there are few perhaps ■who can ■excel him, but he ha 3as a public •oll'icor, 'consistently withstood the teinpta ttio-Rs and inducements offered by private ifitends to acquire lands •in the Native market. On political movements he has been a silent, but keen obserWr; in agri cultural pursuits he has taken a warm interest, and as a "Pet Scheme" has en deavoured to enlist the sympathies and support of some influential parties, towards the establishment of a School of Agriculture, ou the model of the oue now so usefully in operation in the Province of Canterbury, believing that it will tend Very much to save from disappointment and ruin, many new hinds, who eager in their desire to; reclaim the waste land of the Province, are "ttithoutthat'knowledge of the soils which1 a dhernioal analysis alone can supply. lsor the last ten or tWelvefyears, in Auck-1 3and, he has, as Civil Commissioner, ,ful-' (filled tbe combined duties of Resident M-agestitate and Manager of the Govern ment Native Schools, not only with credit to himself, but we believe to the entire satisfaction of ail those who have had the i pleasure of making his acquaintance. | The following are the addresses ■:—

this day.

Three gum-diggers went to bathe in the river yesterday. None cf them could swim. One of them (Thomas Singleton) got out of his depth, and his two mates sprang in to his i ssistance.

After a desperate struggle, inj which • all three were nearly drowned, the two got out, but Singleton was drowned.

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Before R. a'BaratOw, £"sq.,'R.M.) 'DRUNKENNESS.

Three women and five men Were punished for this offence. One of the mill, Joseph B'obinson, was sentenced.to seven days im prisonment, as the offence was the third within a space of three months. j INDECENT EXPOSURE. John Turner, one of the persons charged with drunkenness,. was also convicted of the offence of indecently exposing his person near the Thames Hotel on Saturday evening. For this he was mulcted in a penalty of 40_ and costs,with the alternative 'Of 14 days imprisonment. A RECALCITRANT SEAMAN. John McColl was charged with a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act by disobey ing lawful commands on board the ship Ben Nevis, of which vessel he is third mate. The prisoner denied the charge. Captain Mackay said that after break fast this morning the accused came and demanded his discharge without alleging any reason for the unexpected application. Witness refused to accede to the request and ordered him to fettfrn to work, which he declined t<? xIQ, Hence the prosecu tion.

The JprJsoner maintained that no orders were given him this morning, and that con sequently he could have disobeyed none.

Constable Sampson having proved tbe disobedience, tbe accused was sentenced to four weeks' imprisonment, besides being saddled with the oosts of the case.

STEALING PiGACftES. Joseph FlAherty $n& Michael Flynn, youths of ahdut 18 or 19 years, were charged with th'fe 'theft of a shillinc's worth of Reaches, the property of James McNair, of Ponsonby. Mr Tyler appeared for Flaherty, and pleaded guilty on his behalf. Flynn also acknowledged his guilt. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the prosecutor was the owner of an orchard at Ponsonby, which was situated some distance from his place of residence. Missing a con siderable quantity Of the fruit he paitl an unexpected Visit to the place, and found the prisoners there. They had a bag and kit with them and they had just commenced to pluck the fruit, so that fortunately for them the .value of the rob bery was but trilling. McNair caught hold of one of the lads hut was unable to hold him. They gave fictitious names, but they were followed by the prosecutor and their abode ascertained.

Mr Tyler, in extenuation of the lads' conduct*"referred to theft previous respecta bility of character, and pointed to the loose ideas which prevailed among boyS with re gard to the pilfering of fruit. The prosecu". tor's orchard was enclosed with a dilapi dated fence, and the boys on passing the place i_ind footing this fact, with the absence of any house, at once concluded that the place was deserted. They went, therefore, over to the peach tree, and were taking some of the fruit when the prosecutor interrupted them. He trusted that his Worship would not send the lada to gaol, where they would be associated with hardened criminals.

His Worship in reply said it was a mis take to suppose that any boys who were committed to gaol were obliged to herd with adult criminals. They were kept strictly apai't.and had no opportunity of associating with the other convicts. With regard to the present, he might say that there was stealing, and stealing by which he meant that while some boys stole fruit in order to satisfy an immediate craving, others did it more extensively and stole iv order to carry away. This was the case with prisoners. Their intention wa« disclosed by the presence of a bag and kit, and their age certainly was such as to take from them, the excuse that they were ignorant of the nature of their action. As this, however, was a fiist offence he would be inclined to deal with it some what leniently. He would, therefore, order each of the prisoners to pay ss. towards the prosecutor by way of compensation as well as a hue of 10s., in default seven days' iirpriaonment. MAINTENANCE. James Whorskey was called upon to show reason why he should not contribute to the support of one of his »on?, who was an in mate of the Industrial School.

The defendant said that he had a large family, the support of which absorbed all his means. His Worship ordered him to pay a contri bution of 2i per week. ALLEGED UNPEOVOKED ASSAULT. David Hargreaves, captain of the steamer Coromandel, was charged with wantonly assaulting Henry Leon, ou the 4th instant, by striking him over the right eye with his clenched list. >

Mr Tyler appeared for the defendant and pleaded not guilty forhim. Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the prosecution. rdr Tyler said a cross action had been laid for Wednesday and if the present case were adjourned till that day the same evidence would suffice for both.

Mr Hesketh said that although he was desirous of simplifying the proceedings he could not consent to an adjournment, as all his witnesses were in attendance. The gentleman then went on to state the case and in doing so he characterised the assault complained of by Ms client, as one of a most aggravated and cowardly char acter. Captains were, of course, little kings on hoard their vessels, but he hoped that the Court would teach them, through this case, that there was a limit to their authority. The evidence was then proceeded with. . Henry Leon, who appeared with a shade over his left eye, deposed that he resided at Coromandol. On Friday last he left Auck land by the steamer Coromandel as a steerage passenger. When the bell rang for dinner he went into the cabin with some of the other steerage passengers, and sat down. The captain passed in some time afterwards, and assumed his seat at the head of the table. Seeing witness, however, he came over to him, and said that no man crossed the cabin door without paying an additional half-a-crown, Witness at once produced such a coin and placed it on the table, but the captain went back to his seat without taking it, and witness there fore put it back into his pocket. After finishing his dinner witness went on deck and sat down holding his cheek in his hand to moderate the pain of the toothache from which he was suffering excruciating pain. While he was sitting there the captain came along, and witness,addressing him, remarked that it was too bad that he should speak to him in such a way before all the passengers especially as there were other people from the steerage present as well as himself. The captain raised his fist, and saying "you're a b liar," struck him severely over the right eye. Blood at once spurted out from the wound and witness called for water. The captain pushed him rudely aside, saying that '' the b wants to get tbe steward as a witness." One of the cabin passengers subsequently washed the wound tor him.

Donald McArthur,engineerof the steamer; Wm. Bristow, providore; and Jas. Harris, a steerage passenger, gave corroborative evidence. In opening the case for the defence Mr Tyler asserted tbat the complainant had comported himself in a most offensive manner, and had made use of language to which no man of any spirit could tamely submit.

Capt. Hargreaves, having been sworii, deposed that on Wednesday last the plaintiff was a passenger by his steamer to Coromandel. He had known him for some time, and had been much annoyed by the insulting bearing which he always main tained. He never paid as other passengers, but threw the amount of his fare from him, while witness had flto stoop and pick it up, pocketing the affront with it. Witness had never solicited his influence to secure the appointment of Captain of the steamer. On Wednesday the plaintiff paid his fare in the usual insulting manner, and shortly afterwards entered the cabin for dinner. Witness reminded him that he was due an additional half-a-crown for this, and he re plied "all right." As soon as witness had taken his seat, however,plaintiff shouted out with an offensive air, "Send in your bills." Witness replied that it was not usual to do so, and that the money would have to be paid before the plaintiff left the vessel. After dinner, the plaintiff accosted bitn, and saying, " ifou b son of a dog ; I'll fix you for insulting me at the table." Shook his fist. Witness gave him a back handed slap, and the plaintiff at one re peated his abusive language. Witness called the steward's attention to the fact, but he paid no heed. Bis Worship found the defendant guilty of the offence, and, after commenting upon the serious character of the offence, espe cially when committed by the captain of a vessel upon one of his passengers, in flicted a fine of £5 and costs, £4 17s, the alternative being three months imprison ment. The fine was paid. WIFE DESERTION. Edward Bitchman, was charged on remand with deserting his wife and child at Waimate, Canterbury. Sub-inspeclor said he had received a telegram from the police authorities in Christchurch, and he would in accordance with its instructions apply for the remand of the prisoner to Waimate. Application granted.

The Murder and Suicide In Dunedin.

[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

DUtfiMN* Saturday night. Tltfc follOVfihg additional particulars of tbt_ tragedy ltt KiHg-street are published in to-night's " Star": —Mr Emanuel Twetwick clerk at Gregg and Co.'s office, who boarded in the house, says the inmates retired to rest at their usual hour. Mr and Mrs Hayes appeared then to be on the best of terms. Indeed, during his residence with them he observed nothing to lead him to doubt that the Hayes were, as the neigh bours and friends of the fahiily agree itt declaring, a very happy and united family. It was close on 6 o'clock this morning when the lodger, Twetwick, was awoke by hear ing screams proceeding from Mrs Hayes's bedroom. He hastily donned , part of his clothing, and went IB tiie bedroom. On entering tiie door he found Mrs Hayes Seated on the bed, with her throa^ tern^y cut, and the blood pouring down her night dress. She -,vas breathing but very hard. was "seated on a chair in front ot a looking-glass, and in the act of drawing across his throat a razor he held in his hand. Twetwick, who saw there was a light cut on Hayo's throat, from which the blood was beginning to flow, closed with him, and called on Miss Haye3 and yOUng Hayes to come up and assist him in preventing fcheiS. father from doing further mischief to himself. Twetwiek, after a hard struggle, during which he got one of his hands slightly cut, managed, with the assistance of the boy (who has a nasty cut on one hand), to throw Hayes on to the floor, and took the razor from him. Thinking tbat Mr Hayes would not renew his attempt, and that his wife's condition was such as to require immediate attention, he ran into the street (half-dressed and bleedihg), .and raised the alarm by crying " Mllrder I" at the top of his Voice. Amongst the first to hear him was Mr Gilkes, a dairyman, who lives in the first house to the north of Hayes. Gilkes left off milking his cows, and, on learning from Twetwick now matters stood inside the house, he entered, and found Mr Hayes standing in the passage with only his shirt and trousers on. He Doticed that Hayes had a cut in the throat) from which blood was flowing, but it did not appear to be serious. Gilkes had armed himself with a, stick, and was about to Use it, when Mr Hayes exclaimed "You may put the stick down," and added "I did that, pointing to his windpipe. The re appearance of Twetwick appeared to affect Mr Hayes very mhch, as he immediately became very violent^ so much so ; indeed, that it taxed the strength of Gilkes and a hospital warden to prevent his seizing Twetwick, at whom he levelled such re marks as " That is the vagabond who has caused the whole thing ;" " the vagabond, I took him a* a boarder, and he has done it all." Seeing how much his presence dis. ttirbed Mr Hakes, Twetwick went back to his own room, changed his clothes, and started off to call in medical aid, and to give information at the Police Station. Gilkes then looked in the bedroom, and thinking Mrs Hayes required female attendance, he ran into his own house tor his wife, and took further assistance, as Hayes wanted all the watching they could obtain. He was not gone more than two minutes, but on his return he found Mr Hayes had in the meantime left the passage, gone into the kitchen at the end of the passage, aud there seized a carving-knife, with which he had inflicted such a frightful wound in his throat that it caused his death five minutes afterwards. Twetwick, after calling at the Police station, went to the residences of Dn. Niven, Blair, and Maunsell. Hayes was dead before they reached the bouse. Mrs Hayes must have expired before Gilkes appeared, on the scene. Thetwick informed the police that he and Mr Hayes hud always been on friendly terms, a statement tbat is corroborated by the surviving mem bers of the family, and that he is utterly at a loss to account for the sudden outburst of rage ou Hayes's part. James M. Fountain, a warder at the Hospital, states that he was proceediug from his duty at about six this morning, and when near Mr Hayes' house he saw standing at the gate a man who was covered with blood and calling out " Murder." They went into the house together, and his companion (Twetwick) went into the bed room, and pushed Mr Hayes out of it. After taking the razor from him, Twetwick left the house in search of a doctor, and Gilkes also went away. Hayes immediately went into the kitchen and took up a small knife, which Fountain succeeded in taking , away from him after a slight struggle. Hayes, however, continued to struggle, aud eventually tore himself from Fountain. To pass round tbe table and to catch up a carving knife that lay on the dresser was the work of a moment. With this kniie he fairly stuck his throat, inflicting a terrible and gaping wound, and in a couple of minutes he lay on the floor a corpse. Fountain adds that when he first saw him he was trying to work his fingers into a small wound in his throat in order to extend it, saying, " I did this." Dr. Blair states that he was called shortly after 6 o'clock. The woman was lying in bed with her throat cut on the left side, and a pool of blood about her. The man was lying in the kitchen on his side, with his throat cut right across. There was blood on the mirror in the bedroom, but strange to say, there was little or none in the pas sage. This Dr. Blair accounts for by bis only having slightly wounded himself in the bed room.

It appears that Mrs Hayes had been twice married. By her first husband, she had three daughters, all of whom are married, two residing on the West Coast, the third in Dunedin. By Hayes she had a large family in addition to those mentioned aboved. Ba_.il, the eldest, carries on business as a stationer at Oarnaru; the next two sons have un fortunately given indications of the here ditary mental aberration from which, we fear, there is but little reason to doubt the tragedy of to-day results. The younger of them for a short time was an inmate of a lunatic asylum, having been released there from about six weeks ago. He is now, we believe, at Westport. The second son Atti well, has been an inmate of the lunatic asylum since the middle ot December. Hayes has for years been engaged on small works in Dunedin, but latterly has under taken a few contracts himself. He, like a cood many others, has very recently felt the hardness of the times, and the want of employment and the illnesses which have overtaken his sons have without doubt preyed on his mind, and its balance has been destroyed.

Operations on the Waimate Plains.

(From Our Special Correspondent),

HAWERA, this day. TIIOKEWARU THRESHING GRASS. Titokowaku is not jgone to Parihaka, but only to Omeheranga, to thresh grass for his friend Rangiawhiahia, whose sons are all in prison. He has taken all his im mediate followers with him. It was generally reported that he had gone to Parihaka, and the troops were more on the alert and wary in consequence.

PRESENTS OF FOOD—A REMINIS

CENCE OF GEN. CAMERON,

One of the chiefs of the Plains called at the camp at Kaipipi on Friday, and intimated his intention of making a present of food when the Constabulary reached his settle ment at Otakeho. Years ago, when Gen. Cameron was camped at Rangitoto Re doubt, on the Wangongoio river, and the natives of the plains occupied their pah at at the Kanae, a present of food was sent by the natives to General Cameron, and the like thing was done to Colonel Roberts the other day. It is a mistake to think that the present is any guarantee of goodwill or bears promise of submission—in fact, it is in itself an assertion of the ownership of the land.

THE CHANCES OF A DISTURBANCE.

As a matter of fact, the natives have such perfect faith in Te Whiti's power, that there is little fear of any organised opposition as things stand at present, but the natives do not hold them selves responsible for events. They are unable to control the sudden action of a tutua such as a Hiroke, who may at any time commit a murder when inspired with sorrow and pouri for what he considered as wroncs. Taking this view the authorities are very careful neither to allow any straggling parties of Coustabulary, nor to scatter the working party.' Again, Te White may at any time have a revelation commanding him to oppose the invaders. The surest guarantee for peace aro the prisoners we hold, aud it is undoubtedly wise to keep them. Mr Cbeal is permanently attached _to the camp and is engaged in laying off the road in Sections as the Constabulary proceed with their work. In the present aspect of affairs it was thought advisable neither to separate a small body of Consta bulary as a covering party, nor does the Government see their way, to sanction an unprotected survey party, working out of range of the rifles of the A.C. force, conse quently Mr Cheal can only proceed with his work a few chains ahead of the covering ' party attached to the working constabulary.

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.

HAWERA, February 9. 1 took a ride over to the camp yesterday The Armed Constabulary have got about a mile md a.half Of the road from, the cftmp into Very g'bod ordefj ..and it bnl_ wahts metalling now} fot •fVhibli, teilders ll^ve been called. Anyone who had not Visited thi spot for some time would hardly believe sfl much could have been accomplished in so. short a time by the force as has been done. The officers and men are all agreeable, and although strangers visiting the camp mußt put them to a great deal of trouble; yet they were most obliging to tasj and very hospit ably inclined. The detachment are tt tidy, clean, and smart set of young menasitwaspos* sible to collept together. From some joking remarks I had with some of them, I fancy they woiild . far prefer ?v, "brush 3 with tiie natives, to makm? _ roads. At the camp the opinion is that Tito Kowara is with £c WljUi at rari» imija, Dut. from another source I learr) he is still'at a, native; settlement of his far back in tbe busb. It.is sttidj that Major Brown is in communication with hirfl, but the chief is holding out on his sullen maimer to screw as much land out of the Govern ment as he possibly can. He is not likely to fight, for he had enough of it during 1868, and liesides it would prevent his getting grog, which during the last six years he bad shown a great liking for. I hear that we may expect the Native Minister back here again to-day, if so his stay at New Ply mouth will have been a short one. He is flying about the country in all directions, visiting various out posts. The special to the "Three special papers in New Zealand" as he pleases to designate him self has been catching " hot potatoes ' from the people here, so he prefers stopping at Normanby, A letter in Patea " Mail" has pitched pretty hard into this little pompuous velvet-cbated gentleman, , It is said Te Whiti has had several pafieb-l visitors lately, but their names I can't ascer tain. They" are renegades, however, and the natives say they sympathised with Te \ Whiti, and urged him to get natives to put the Constabulary off the Plains. Te Whiti shakes his headj and says he need not exert himself as the pnkebas will be moved off by their God, ttnd tbe natives that are im« prisoned will be one dajr fottitd on the Plains. Ml' Cheal, the surveyor (Who is well-known in Auckland) is with the work ing patty on the Plain?. It is not fconsidered safe to go in detached parties, and the sur veyors when iit w'drk are always within rauge of a covering party. Tenders are E.bout to be called for continuing the metal ing of the road a mile and a half further toi Wards Oeo, which when completed will ho threo miles Ot good metal road from Wain gongord River. I forgot to rhention tli&t the camp is situated on the banks of thb Kapuni, a stream about folir miles from Waiilgongoro River, and about twenty miles touth of Upunake. It was an old native pah called Kaipipi, and is protected from assault on two Bidea by precipitous banks rising from a stream which flows below them. A narrow hed of shingle shaded in parts by a fringe of roromiko aud shrubs, but in other places is unrelieved by anythiug more graceful than the ever-present fern, whose growth speaks well for the fertility of the soil. The Kapuni River is said by the natives to be the only river watering tho Plums from any great altitude ou this side from Mount Egtuont. The natives on the Plains are very frequent, and with exception of a few who have retired to the bu*h to sulk over the affair, I should say they all are pleased at the steps the Government have taken. Of coune the Government has not had time yet to do anything which will realljr ;test the ques tions at issue. It is when the Armed Con stabulary commence to make the road be tween Munuroa and Parihaka—a road every Government has been afraid to com mence to make, that we shall see how the , natives are affected. The road work they are nt now is nothing and they will not test the ill-feeling of the natives till Parihaka is invaded by [the modern civilised road party. HAWERA, thisjday. VISITORS. The Rev. Father Grogan visited the camp yesterday morning, and held divine service. He took his text from the epistle of the day, acd preached on "charity." He exhorted the men to practice the habit of obedicuco to their superiors, and gave a short but suitable address, which was attentively listened to, in the afternoon. The camp was visited by many of the in habitants of Hawcra, who find the camp a convenient distance from the township for an afternoon's ride or drive, THE COMET. The natives are puzzling their brains to discover the portent of the comet, which is nightly seen in a south westerly direction. Tbey say a comet appeared when the Waikato chief Potatau was made king, but that it stood differently to this one. They think this one foreshadows the coming man spoken of by Te Whiti, who is to appear shortly, and the stone which the builders rejected shall become the head stove of the corner. They are also anxious to discover something typical on the fact that the sun this morning rose blood red, niauy degrees above the horizon before they say its beams showed upon them. BURNING OFF. Tbo horizon is at present enveloped in dense masses of smoko arising from large and successful burnings of fallen hush in the Oakaramea country, which hides tho am: for some hours in the morning. Some cases of fever are reported amodg the.natives of the Plains. A COOL REQUEST. " Lay down your rifles" is the advice of the natives to the constabulary. You will not ho fought against. Wont you bo ashamed of yourself when you reach Piri haka fully armed, and find all the inhabi tants pursuing peaceably their usual avoca tions." Te Whiti said that no importance need be attached to the fact of tbe Consta bulary crossing the Waingongoro, but when he was told that a present of food had been made he said tbat was a good work indeed, the natives of the Plains intend taking a quantity of dried shark to Parihaka for the February meeting. It is noticed that many of the natives are fair believers in Te Whiti, and are not cutting their grass seed this year. A change of camp will be necessary in about a week's timo. Instructions reached the telegraphist here on Saturday tbat the office was to be opened for the general public. Hitherto Public Service telegrams only hare been received. The late fine weather, together with the disturbance of the surface necessary in form ing the road have made them very dusty and clouds of dust herald the approach of every horse and vehicle. The paymaster is here, and paraded the men to receive their month's pay at 8 o'clock this morn ing. _____________

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. THE BIG PUMP.

The Big Pump resumed work this morn ing, but will stop again in a day or two. the object being to reduce the water in the shaft so tbat the columns and lifts may be removed, which means the dismantling of the pump. Before pumping was stopped, last time the lifts almost down to the bot tom were disconnected, so that very little trouble will be experienced in bringing them to the surface.

The new owner, Mr Coiner, is dissatisfied that his purchase was not taken over by the Associated Companies, and intends to sell it for old iron.
