Cbiminai. Sittings.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond,) The following is a summary of the pro ceedings which took place after we went to ptess yesterday afternoon : — FALSE PBETENSES.

James Mortimer Napper was brought nn on a charge of obtaining a sum of £2 Is from Mr H. Cooke, of the firm of T. - aud jf. Cooke, upholsterers, by means of a valueless cheque. ' ;' ' The prison.r pleaded not guilty. The evidence which was given shewed that the prisoner had made an ineffectual effort to get an account opened at the National, Bank besides making a futile endeavour to secure a loan, and that during this time he gave Mr Cobke the cheque in question in payment of a debt. The -han"o which he received on it amounted to £<*> liT He tried to delay the presentation of" the cheque, but eventually it was pre sented and-dishonoured. ~..,, The prisoner in his defence said tbat ho had been canvassing the town with much success for advertisements for a Oommer rial Gazette" which he had intended to _tiblish a'«l that he had desired Mr Cooke not to present the cheque until the paper , came out, when: there would have been funds to meet it. He felt confident that he could have made £400 or £500 a-year out of the " Gazotte." The jury found the pnsoner guilty, but recommeuded him to the mercy of the The prisoner theu pleaded guilty to a second indictment, charging hiir> wiili ob taining from H.

His Honor sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour for each offence, the sentences to run concur rently. ~ TT -.-.. .. , Henry Duval, alia?

In this case His Honor sent for the jury when the Court was about to adjourn, and asked the foreman Avhether they were likely to come to an agreement.—The Foreman . replied that there was no likelihood of a speedy agreement.—His Honor: I regret that I cannot give you any further assist ance. Tho Sheriff will do the bos* lie can to accommodate you for the night, j If 1 thought you were likely to- como to an agreement in any reasonable time, I should wait for your verdict.—Tho Foremnh : I do not think it at all probable that the jury will agree very soon. Aftor a shott confer ence between"His Honor and the Crown Prosecutor, the jury wero locked up for the night.

THIS DAY.

WANOARBI SHOOTINO CASH.

The jury, after being locked up all night, came into Court and said they were still

unable to agree. :***_■ , The prisoner said ho desired to be honour ably acquitted, or, if found guilty, punished. He demanded a new trial, aud didn't want so much " hoomboog." SEHTBNCHS. The following persons were brought up and sentenced: - Henry Jelliugs, for forging and uttferiug, three years. • . , Joseph Worms, three cases of forgery, three years for each offence, the sentences to run concurrently. Wm. O'Conncll, for forgery, two years. G-O. Hart, a hoy, four. charges of utter iug valueless cheques, two years ', each offence (sentences to run concurrently.) Fred Urren, forgery, three years. Richatd Putman, forgery of an order, two years. „~- viqw Edward 1 Welch, ro.gcry of deed, two years. '',-"" . ■. BIGAMY.- Edward Lawlor, alias Lawrence, having pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy, was brought up for sentence. Mr Tyler, in mitigation of sentence, l urged that this offence was rather of a private nature than one against the public. Again, although hoth women wertj un doubtedly much injured, the critro 'jvould have been greater if either or both had been left destitute, which was not the case. • The Eiisorier did not behave altogether j with eartlessues3 and cruelty, but supported both of the women who were dependent upon him. * The prisoner left his first wife with her consent, having previously -made over a home and considerable property to her, and leaving Melbourne by mutual con sent with scarcely a single shilling in^his pocket. Without wishing to say anything cruel to the first wife, the prisoner, to use his own words, lived with her " the me of a dog." - ' His Honor disagreed with Mr Tyler. The offence. was _v very grave . offence against the public and against his wife and unfortunate children. Ho must treat tbe case as one of bigamy, though without any special aggravation perhaps." His first wife would havo a remedy if she wished to loosen the tie through the Divorce Court. There would appear to be some arrangement, for prisoner wa» allowing her £2 per week. Mr Tyler: Yes, Your Honor, this arrange ment was carried on for some time, but on the arrival of the first wife in Auckland she demanded a large sum, which the prisoner was unable to give. I would further urge that the prisoner, who has always borne the reputation of being a respectable man, is now utterly ruined. His Honor: There is no doubt ho has been severely punished already, and I do not thiuk it a case that demands heavy punishment. Have you anything to say Lawlor ?

Lawlor : " No, Your Honor." . Sentence : One years' imprisonment, LARCENY.

Philip Alcock, a sickly little fellow, who has pleaded guilty to this charge, was brought np for sentence. | His Honor, having been assured by the mother of the lad that she would look more; sharply after him for the future, dealt out a nominal sentence of three days' imprison ment, and as the sentence dates from the commencement of the sessions he was at once discharged, ALLEGED RAPE. William Holmau Curtis was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with having, on the Bth of Junelast, committed a rape upon Margaret Hannah Elizabeth Fergusson; a child under the age of ten years. The prisoner, pleaded not guilty. The Crown Prosecutor, in opening the case, said that it unfortunately happened that very few sessions of the Circuit Court were unassociated with some against females, hut hap pily the Court very, very seldom jhad before it a case so bad as the present one, viz., a rape upon a little girl nine jyears of age. Re might tell the jury at tho outset that any consent on the part of the child could not be accepted as an excuse for. the offence. *Ihe learned gentleman then went on to narrate the leading points of the evidence which he waa prepared to adduc., The following witnes.es were then called. Samuel Fergusson deposed- that he was a gum-digger and boatman residing at Awitu, a settlement on the Manukau. His wife was a Maori woman. He had a daughter called Margaret Elizabeth Hannah Fergus son. She would be ten years of age this month. He had known the prisoner for about six months prior to June last. The prisoner was also engaged in digging gum, and lived at witness's house. They came up to Auckland together about tho begin ning of June, accompanied by the little girl; who purposed to go with the prisoner to the Thames, iv order to be sent to school there. Witness left his daughter with the prisoner, aud returned to Awitu. He next saw his daughter at the Thames, whither be went in consequence of a message from the police. i Margaret Hannah Elizabeth Fergusson. daughter of the last witness, deposed that the prisoner came to her father's house at Awitu just a [ ter Christmas. He used to teach me sometimes to read and write; In the beginning of June she came up to Auck land with her father and the prisoner, iv order that'the latter might take her to a school at the Thames. When they arrived at Auckland they found that the steamer had not arrived, and her father therefore re turned to Awitu, leaving her in charge of the prisoner. They then went to an hotel, where ihe prisoner asked for a room con taining two beds, saying as he did so that she was afraid to sleep by herself. That wa. not true. She had been accustomed to sleep by herself. A room contain in.; two beds was obtained. [I he wttuess theu detailed the circum stances of the alleged rape ] In the after noon of the' following day they proceeded to the Thames together. They weHt to Mr Pierces hotel, where a room with two-beds iv it waa procured, and where the offence was repeated both on that and following

nights. On the next day. the prisoner was drinking, but witness was not with him all tho time. Several days afterwards they went to another hotel, where witness was put to bed with the servant girl. About the middle of the night the prisoner had her woke up, when he told her to get up, dress herself, and go away with him. The pri soner said that he was going to take her to a cutter, hut they went to Mrs Richards' house. Mrs Richards said that she could accommodate witness, but hot the prisoner. She was taken to the house of Mrs Kichards' sister and the prisoner went somewhero else.'

To the foreman of the jury: I told Mrs Richards of tho prisouer's conduct, but no one else.

To the prisoner: I did a=k you to take mo with you to the Thames, and you said that if I stopped swearing and telling lies you would send for me. One day I was sleeping on your bed when you came" home, but I was sick then. I never lived with any Maories except my uncle, my aunt and some half-castes. I never said that I wanted to sleep in the same room with you at the Blue Post. On the second day at the Thames you said that Jyou would send me home again, and I replied that I would be very glad if you would. Dr. Payne, ot tho Thames, gave evidence as to a medical examination which he had made of tho last witness. The result was such as to leave not the slightest doubt on his mind that a criminal oit'.nco had been commitlcd upon the child. Mr Wiiyland, registrar of births, mar riages, and death*), produced the ceit'h'cate of the child's birth. The date of the? birth was July 31st, 1870.

Dorothea Schultz, landlady of the; Blue Post Dining Rooms, deposed to letting a room containing two beds to the prisoner and the littlegirl Fergusi-on. John Pierce, landlord of the Wharf Hotel, Graham-town, Edward John Angrove, landlord of the Bay View Hotel, Granams town, Constable John Haslett, Emily Kichards, wife of the licensee of the Gra hamstown Hotel, and Detective Farrell, also gave evidence.

Constable Haslctt stated that one night at the 'I hames he was accosted by tlie pri soner, and at his request directed him to an hotel. The prisouer was acccompauied by the little girl Fergusson, whom he termed his daughtor. The little girl, hovyever, said, "You are not my fathel-, William," besides flaying that tho man had been abus ing her.

Tho prisoner's statement in defence was very short. The effect of it was that the girl was corrupt before he met with her, that he took her from a wretched state of lite in order to put her to school, aud that he .had endeavoured to the best of his ability to do so.

Hisi Honor then summed up, pointing-out as he did so that even if it were shown that the child was corrupt before tho prisoner met her, tlie fact could not be ad vanced as an extenuating circumstance by the prisoner. The child's extreme youth debarred him from such an excuse.

When His Honor had finished the jury retired to confer, and aftor the lapse of a few minutes they returned witn a verdict of guilty. LARCENY. Arthur Vincent, alias Wellesley, was charged *with tho larceny of brandy (in bulk), and some overcoats, tho property of Ricketts and Galloway, storekeepers, of Taupo, for whom ho was working as a carter at the time.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty. (Left sittting.)

Winks and, Macffarlane v. 0. W. S. PURDIE.— Claim, £4 10s.—In, this case the plaintiffs, as lessees of the Rowling Green property, sued for amount of rent and re covery of possession of cottage occupied by defendant, who'had acted as gardener under plaintiffs, but who refused to leave the place.—Mr Tyler appeared for plaintiffs', and Mr Kectley for defendant.—Counsel argued the matter at considerable length, and Mr Tyler shewed by quotations from exactly similar cases that defendant's hold ing possession was clearly untenable, and could not be supported in law.—His Wor ship agreed in the view taken by plaintiffs counsel, and gave judgment for plaintiff allowing defendant a fortnight to get out. De Thierry v.Hohaia Tu.—Claim, £6 4s.—ln this case Mr Alexander appeared for plaintiff and Mr S. Hesketh for defen dant, the claim being for commission on the sale of a quantity of maize.—Richard Dc Thierry gave evidence to the effect that he negotiated the sale of maize to Mr Sibbiu, on behalf of the native on tho 18th May last. The claim was for commission and wages,—James Peachey, mariner, deposed that he was standing at the corner of Vulcan Lane on the day in question, when the native pulled out a sample of maize, and said he had 150 sacks of a like character. He wished plaintiff to sell it. Went to Mr Steadraau, but did not close with him. Met Mr Sibbin in Queen-street, who said he was a buyer of maize, and made an offer, which was accepted. Mr.Sibbin considered he was dealmg with witness, until he told him he had disposed of it for Mr De Thierry.—To His Worship : Heard Mr De Thierry tell the^native that his.commission was 5 per cent. He replied, "all right."— George Sibbin, auctioneer, affirmed that he purchased 142 sacks of maize on the 18th May. He was informed by Mr Home that he had a quantity of maize on board the Glenelg at the wharf. Went to see it. Subsequently Mr Home spoke to the natives about|the maize. He met Mr Peachey,who showed him a sample of maize, which he said was for sale. He had been offeied 3s 9d. Had been looking for the natives. Peachey expressed some displeasure at Home's interference. Spoke to the natives who wero standiug a little distance off. They said they would sell the maize them selves. He finally bought of the natives at cash teims. The maize was weighed and delivered at his store for cash. Mr DeThierry came up with Mr Peachey, and said that he was commissioned to sell the maize, aud had received an offer from Mr Steadman. He purchased of the natives. Gave Mr DeThierry the account of the sale. If the native gave the sample to Mr DeThiery to sell, his opinion was that he was entitled to 2_ per cent com mission. He suggested to the native that lie should give something, and offered £1 towards it, but the native said they had received no work, and repu diated giving the sample to Peachey, saying he must have got it out of a bag without his, the native's, knowledge. The evidence of defendant, taken at another Court, was put in repudiating the evidence of De Thierry and Peachey, and avowing that there was no engagament respecting selling the maize between him and De Thierry.—His Worship having considered the case, thought plaintiff was entitled to seme percentage, and gave judgment for £3 2-*., costs, £1 13s. 6d. Tho Court then adjourned.

Fire at Hamilton.

MESSKS SWANN AND COCHRANE'S PREMISES BURNT DOWN.

IBy Telegbapil]

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

HAMILTON, this day. A obstructive fire occurred at East Hamilton last night. The alarm sounded about 11 o'clock, when it was ascertained that the premises occupied by Messrs Swarm and Cochrane (wheelwrights) and Mr Lane (blacksmith) were enveloped in flames.. These premises were erected on the _site of the former buildings, burnt down in January last, and connected with a large wheelwright and coach fac tory, together with a smithy and carpenters' departments. No appliances being at hand it_ was found useless to try and save any buildings, but the bellows and a few tools, a wagonette and some other things were saved. The exertions of the crowd were directed lo the prevention of the spread of the lite to the adjoining piemises, owned by Mr White, and un insured. They were several time 3on lire, but owing to, the exc-rtion-tjot Constable MurraY, who pluckily sat on the roof and effectively applied water from buckets handed up by a chain of men from the

well, their efforts proved completely succ 'sful. Messrs Swarm and Cochrane had insured their buildings in the South British for £200 ; the stock and tools were unin sured. Great sympathy is felt for them in their extreme misfortune, within seven months, of a loss reckoned at £200 over the insurance.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROTORUA.

TEE KELLY GANG.

FURTHER PARTICULARS,

Excitement on the Funeral.

By the arrival of the Rotorua this afternoon we have fuller details of the proceedings connected with the capture of the notorious Kelly Gang :—

The account furnished by the reporters of tho Melbourne Daily Telegraph" contains the following information : — luspector Sadler.- Now, Ned, I know you can influence those foolish fellows if you like to do so; come, give them some signal, and put an end to this. Ned Kelly : Oh no ; they will not give up. They all have armour on, and you can't take them.

Inspector Sadlier: Ido uot speak for otu selvcs, but for the lives of iimocent men and womeu who have been taken to the house.

Ned Kelly : I cannot help k that. The boys wou't give up. Reporter: How come you out of the house, Ned ? '

Ned Kelley : I have not been in the house since the special train came. I heard you coming, aud went down to meet you. I could have shot you, but didn't. When I saw the engine stop down iv ijhe cutting, I went up close to yon, and hod a look, but you put the lights out, and as you moved slowly ou, I came ahead.

When Kelly lay on the floor in the rail way van Inspector Sadlier appealed to him to send some signal to his comrades and spare further bloodshed, but he replied, " 1 cannot. They will never give up, and you cannot take them aiivc."

Reporter: But you rau away after the first volloy.

Ned Kelly : I didn't run away. I was shot in the foot in the first volley, and in tlio arm, and I wanted the boys to go with me. I thought they would follow, and got on my mare and rode quietly up along the fence over the hill; aud as they did not come, I turned back

Reporter: Your revolvinc-rifle was found stuck in the earth on the side of the hill.

Wed Kelly : Yes; I could have got away if I wanted ; but I wouldn't leave the boys. : Aro they iv the house now. Ned Kelly : I think so. Byrne is hurt, but they cannot hurt the others—they have armour.

Reporter :It did you little good. Come, Ned, why don't you comply with Mr Sad ler's request, and send the boys a signal to give up ?

Ned Kelly : Don't ask me. They will never give up. The duty of searching the outlaw was entrusted to scnior-coustable Kelly, who only found a threepenny piece, a silver watch, and a few chains on him. On asking the outlaw what ho did with Ken nedy's watch, he said that he wouldn't tell.

The armour which the outlaw wore weighed 1 cwt exactly, and consisted of six plates of _-inch steel, manufactured from ploughshares stolen from the farmers around Grete. On the armour thoro were eight perceptablo bullet marks on tho breastplate, live on tho hclhlct, three on the shoulder.-*, and nihe on the backplatc. These were mostly all deep dents in the steel plates. It should be mentioned that, previous to the building being fired, repeated overtures were made to Inspector Sadlier by the meu under his command to storm the building ; but.unwilliug to run the chance of the lost of life, Mr Sadlier refused, trustinp to cap ture the outlaws by some less risky method.

INTERVIEW BETWEEN KELLY AND HIS

SISTERS,

After the house had been burned, Ned Kelly's thtce sisters aud Tom Wright were allowed an interview with him. Tom Wright, as well as the sisters, kissed the wounded man, and a brief conversation en sued, Ned Kelly having, to a certain extent, recovered from the exhaustion consequent on his wounds. At times his eyes were quite bright, and although he was of course excessively weak, his remarkably powerful physique enabled him to talk rather freely. During the interview he stated: " I was at last surrounded by the police, and only had a revolver with which I tired four shots ; but it was no good. I had half a mind to shoot myself. I loaded my rifle, but could not hold it after I was wounded. I had plenty of ammunition, but it was no good to me. I got shot in the arm, and told Byrne and Dan so. I could have got off, but when I saw them all pounding away I told Dan I would gee it over and wait until morning."

" What on earth induced you to go to the hotel f inquired a spectator. ". We could not do it anywhere else," re plied Kelly, eyeing the spectators who were strangers to him suspiciously. " 1 would," ho continued, " have fought them in the train, or else npset it, if 1 had the chance. I did not care a who was in it, but 1 knew on Sunday morning there would be no usual passengers. I first tackled the line and ceuld not pull it up, and then came to Glenrowan station." .

" Since the Jerilderie affair," remarked a spectator, "'we thought you"had gone to Queensland."

" It would not do fpr every one to think the same way," was Kelly's reply. "If I wpre once right again," he continued, " I would go to the barracks and shoot every one of the traps, and not give one a chance."

Mrs Skillian to her brother : " It's a wpnder you did not keep behind a tree." Ned Kelly : I had a chance at several policemen during the night, but declined to lire ; my arm was broken the first fire ; I got away into the bush and found my mare, and could have rushed away to beggary, hut wanted to.sec the thing out, and Jre mained in the bush."

A sad scene ensued when Wild Wrigh * led Mrs_ Skillian to the horrible objecr which was all that remained of her brothee Dan. She boot over it/raised a dirge-lik*-* cry, and wcept bitterly. Dick Hartapplietl for the body of his brother, but was told he could not have it until after the posf mortem examination.

Tuesday Evening,

THE SCENE AT GRETA

when the charred remains of Hart and Dan Kelly were carried iv by their friends was perfectly indescriable. The people seemed to flock from the gum trees. There were some of the worst looking people there I ever saw in my life. The two bodies were carried into Mrs Skillian's amidst the wailings and groaning of over two hundred people. They were laid down on the table side by side, a dreadful sight. Their friends rushed the hut to catch a glimp3c of them, but Mrs Skillian took down a gun and threatened to blow out the brains of the first person that entered her house without her permission. She then allowed only three at a time to enter, aud after they had remained only a sufficient time to walk round the table and look at the bodie_, they were turned out again. The first who went in were two girls and an old man, a relative of Hart.

HE CRIED LIKE A CHILD. Then Tom Lloyd and Quinn went in. They looked at the bodies for a moment, and then Tom Lloyd took hold of Kate Kelly's hand, aud lifting his right arm to heaven swore a most dreadful oath that he would

NEVER LEAVE THEIR DEATHS UNAVENGED,

Alldayiong scenes like these continued- Drink was brought over from Mrs O'Brien's hotel, and they were all, more or less, in •a state of intoxication, and dangerously inclined. Lloyed seemed to be the most sober of tho lot, though he was drun J* enough. He went out into the clearing at the back of the hut with Mrs Skillian, and the two kept in conversation a long time. A number of papers wero pasted between them both. Then Lloyed got on his horse and rode oft to Benalla. Re came to beg

THE BODY OF BYRNE. Of course this was denied him until after the magisterial inquiry had been held, ana ho hung about the police statiou attempting to enter into conversation with every con stable he could. He kept appealing to their goodnature, and asking them not to be too hard. He was in a state of the greatest anxiety to know what the. police would do next, and seemed to be afraid that he and some others would be arrested as sympathisers. " What are you going to do with us, Mr Kelly r he asked of the con stable there. " I don't know, Tom. You had better keep out of the way and behave yourself " " Oh, f»r God's sake, don t in terfere with us. We have done you no barm. Be satisfied with the work you have already done, and leave us and the poor girls in peace." OUR LOAD IS HARD TO BEAR.

Tears actually started out of his eyes when he (spoke, He looked at the man then, ana

to see him at Mrs Skillian's hut when he swore to be averaged, an ordinary observer would be puzzled to judge his character. To a close observer, however, it is apparent that he is a mere boaster, NED KELL-'S CONVERSATION. Banal'A, Thursday, Some hours before Ned Kelly was taken to Melbourne, he conversed very|freely with Constable Kelly. He owned to shooting Fitz patrick in the wrist,andsaid he was sorry the bullet did not g& into his head. He also said hecame to G.lenrowan to wreck the traio. He said, I expected the special train to come up en Monday morning or Sunday night. He pulled up the rails in a place where the train would go over into a culvert. He then became obstinate and refused to con tinue, but from some other remarks that fell from his lips, and from circumstances that subsequently transpired, there is;no doubt that the gang intended to nut . on their armour, walk deliberately up to the train when it fell off the line, and every living soul that escaped from the ruins they would have shot like dogs, and left not one alive. By this means they could have got rid of the body of police from Benalla, and they would go to that place and stick up one of the banks there, as, cased in their bullet-p-oof armour, they could walk into a bank and take what they wanted. Theycould have gone to the --police station and taken possession of it; then, with tho railway lines torn up and tho telegraph wire cut, they could have held the towu for a week. It was trlways Ned Kelly's ambition to stick up Benalla. When spoken to on the sub- ject, he scowled fiercely. " Yes, "ho said, " and if you had not sent up that pilot ciif-ine, and that schoolmaster had not given the train warning: of danger, you would have been up a tree." BYRNE'S SPECIALITY. Byrne had a number of nicknainr:«i He was the idol of the girls of tho district, who said he was such a handsome aud such a' mild young gentlemen that no one would believe him to be capable of interfering with, anybody. One anecdote will suffice to show how mild ho was. Some time ago, before he took to bushrangiiiQ-, he was running somo horses to the stockyard at the wool shed. The yard was old, and the fence was broken. lie got his sister to help him,.and to staud in one of the gaps iv tho fence. This is a time-honoured custom with the people of the district, who will go into a stockyard and chaso the horses round themselves, but they use the women to fill up the gaps in the fence. Ono of the horses was a very wild one, aud this one Byrne wanted to catch. It rushed straight at his sister and kuocked her aside, and escaped from the-yard. Byrne was foaming with rage. He rushed at his sister, seized her by the hair of the head with one hand, and struck her over the face with the heavy bridle he carried. He cut her face terribly, and knocked her eye out. So much for the ladies' man ! BEGGING BYRNE'S BODY. After the magisterial inquiry had been held on Byrne's body yesterday the friends of the deceased wero extremely anxious to get possession of it They came to tho sta tion and court-house and begged hard to be allowed to bury it at Greta Tliey were put oil from time to time. byrneVfuneral. After dark the body was sneaked out by the back way of the police camp, aud with ouly an undertakers man, and a well armed constable, was taken to the Benalla Cemetery and privately buried iv a snug corner. Then tho constable and the uiidct takcr marched buck again, saluted each other, and went home. It was a great dis appointment to the friends. They appeared to be in doubt as to whether they would be allowed to keep the other bodies or not. There are a number of them here making anxious inquiries. A number of mi«cella ueous articles, belouging to the outlaws, were brought into Benalla hut uight, amongst which were a keg of powder aud some fuse. ARMED TROOPERS. A large body of armed troopeis has been despatched to Mrs Skilliar's, but, as it is reported that there arc at least 50 sym pathisers there all armed and determined to resist the holding of the inquiry. Dick Hart is very couspicuous by his con duct, and swears that he will head another and stronger band than that of Ned Kellyaud take to the bush. An inquest on Shcrritt is being held at Bocchworth. Evidence dis closes cowardice on the part of the* four troopers who were in Sherritt's houge. At a magisterial inquiry on the hoy Jones, and platelayer Cherry, verdicts were returned exonerating the police from all blame. THE FUNERAL OF DAN KE-.LY. Melboobne, July 2. Ned Kelly hus been brought to the Mel bourne Gaol, apparently recovering from the numerous lle-h wounds. His mother, who is confined, was allowed to iutcrview hint. He still maintains that he was driven to the outrage by police persecution. Mr Curnow, schoolmaster, was the man who -topped the special train, giviug warning that the rails had been pulled up. The scene when the bodies of Hart and Dan Kelly were brought to Gretaby their rela tives was ouc of extreme excitement. The procession was met by a great crowd of *ympathiscrs, many of whom were armed. Dick Hart dared the police to iuterfere at the funeral, and said if they wanted the bodies hack they would havo to light for them. They were placed in Mrs Skillian's huts. Many sympathisers were inflamed with drink, and p.ofcssed to be anxious for a brush with the police. It is stated that when standing by the corpses in the presence of Kale Kelly, Dick Hart raised his right haud, and" swore to avenge the death. Threats were made to roast the Gleurowan constables as the outlaws were roasted. It is doubtful yet whether amputation will be necessary to Superintendent Hare's arm. The Government has not decided when and how Ned Kelly will bo tried, whether at Melbourne or Beechworth. Wild rumours are still cropping up. . Wild Wrigbt aud Dick Hart threaten to take to tho bush with a stronger band than the Kellys, and wreak their vengeance. It was reported, but since contradicted, that Kate Kelly had shot Sergeant Steele, who shot Ned. The Press of Sydney and Brisbane generally condemn the conduct of the Victorian police as pusil lanimous and . reckless regarding the lives of thirty prisoners shut up with the outlaws in the building while volleys were fired and, careful of their own, never ventured to risk them till the place was in flames and the outlaws had been dead some time. A PRIEST INTERVIEWS NED KELLY. M. Gibney said : I am a Catholic priest of Perth, Western Australia, and was tra velling. I went into the room where Ned Kelly was lying at the station j I dou't think he is dying; he is penitent and shows a very good disposi tion; when I asked him to say, "Lord Jesus, have mercy on mo." he said it, |and added, "It is' not to-day I began to say that;" I heard his confession, which I shall not be expected to repeat; as I at first thought lie was dying, I anointed him; Kelly freely confessed his intention of wrecking trains, &c. There can be no doubt that Kelly, now that his companions in arms have been annihilated, that ho has been removed from exciting surroundings, and has had time for reflection as well as being subjected to religious iulluenccs to which he is not wholly unsusceptible. FEELS DEEPLY HIS POSITION,. and, mayhap, regrets tho past. Ho still ex presses regret that he did not fall with his companions and share their graves. Kelly was visited yesterday by the Rev. P. J. Aylward, of St. Patrick's Cathedral, whose visit and ministrations he is understood to have received well- Subsequently, Father Aylward had an INTERVIEAV WITH MRS KELLY, Ned's mother, who is also a prisoner in the same gaol with her son. It may bo here explained that Ellen Kelly, on the 9th October, 1878, was sen fenced at the] Bechworth Circuit Court, by Mr Justice Barry, to 3yrs. hard labour for having wounded .constable Fttzpartick at Greta, while he was arresting her son, Dan, on a charge of horse-stealing. The occurrence was the commencement of all the Kelley troubles which have since stained crimmiual anuelsof the colony and brought death' misery, and sorrow into a number of families. Mrs Kelly has now been an inmate of the female division of Melbourno Gaol for nearly two years. She is a well conducted woman in the establishment, and will probably have nine months re mitted from her sentence. She would therefore be discharged in January next, little more than six months hence.

STATEMENT BY THE POLICE I SERGEANT,

Sergeant Arthur Loftus Maude Staele, of Wahgaratta, states: I .arrived at Glen rowan with five men about 5 a.m. The others came down by train. I was chal lenged in the vicinity of the hotel by the police, and informed them who we were. 1 scattered men round the house. Went up to the nearest tree behiud the back door, and heard no firing up to that time. A woman and child came to the back door screaming. I told her to run quick aud she would not be molested. A man then came to the back dcor, and I called upon him to throw up his hands or 1 would fire on him.. I was only about 20 yards from the house. Tho man did not hold up his hands, but stooped aud ran

towards the stable. I fired at him, and; he turned and ran back into the house. I am certain that the man must have been injured, as he screamed and fell towards tho door. I waa firing with slugs. There was then some hot firing, and bnllets were whistling all round. From the ring of the slugs I at once recog nized that the mau wore mail. I then heard some men roaring out. - It was just breaking day, and when I looked round| I saw Ned Kelly stalking round behind me in the bush. He was marching do#n on the house quite deliberately, and from his rig out I supposed him at first to be a black fellow, until I saw him present a revolver, and fire at the police. I could see the bullets flying about his head and chest, and concluded he had armour on. I then made a run for him, and got within 10 or 15 yards of him. when he turned round and aimed at me with a revolver. I im mediately shot at his legs, and he staggered. He still aimed at me, so I gave him the second barrel also in the legs, about the knees. I was at this time in the open. He fell on my second charge, and said, "I'm done, I'm done." I ran up to him then. Just as I got up he tried to get the revolver pointed on me again, but I ran be hind, and he could not twist round fast enough. I got up to iim and seized hold of the revolver, aud turned it off from me, and he fired it off in my hand ; senior constable Kelly cams up at this juncture and caught hold .of him, and in a few seconds there was quite a group of people around us. We disarmed and secured him. We found only one revolver on him. Hiv ing divested him of his armour, we carried bim to the railway station. Just after J had seized him the rush of tne other people knocked me and Kelly and mo over, and I received a rather awkward twist, and hia armour injured my side. THE BURNED BODIES. ' Father Gibbey, who, [at much personal risk from tlie flames, entered the hotel and rescued the wounded platelayer, Cherry, saw two bodies lying side by side ,on their backs. He touched them, and found life was extinct iv each. These were the bodies of Dan Kelly and Hart; and the reverend gentleman expressed the opinion based on their position, that they must have killed one another. Whether they killed one another, or whether both or oue committed suicide, or whether both, being mortally wounded by the besiegers, deter mined to die side by side, will never be known. The priest had barely time to feel their bodies before the lire forced him to made a speedy exit from the room, and the ilatres had then made such rapid progress on the western side of the house that the few people who followed close on the rev. gentleman's heels dared not attempt to rescue the two bodies. It may be stated that after the house had been burned down these two bodies were removed from the embers. They | presented a horrible spectacle, nothing but the truuk and skull being left, and these almost burnt to a cinder. Their armour was found near them. As to Byrne's body, it was found in the entrance to the bar-room, which was on the east side of the house, and there was time to. rcmovo it from the building, but not before the ii_'lit side was slightly scorched. This body likewise pre sented a dreadful appearance. It looked as if it had been ill noutished. The thin face was black with smoke, and the arms were set at right angles with the elbows tho stiffeucd joints below the elbows stand ing erect. .
