(Cheers.) MR WAKEFIELD'S KEPLY. Mr Wakefielp s.vd that the previous •alter instead of throwing new light on Subject of the day, had raked up old gawd otherwise given a most improper to their debates at this early period of fciasion. He felt sure the speech had Btimpressed one single individual. It y been inspired, not from above but from yof, They had been told that such B saiwes would be passed, and such other Stops wonld be done. Snch language Hiinldhave come from one enjoying the IpißMence of the House and the country, Steasbe(Sir George Grey) stood amoigst gHfeatolitary and alone, after having beea graded from office, which he had abused. ffl|fi«llhe(Mr\Vakefield) questioned very BBiich it he enjoyed the confidence of a WmAt member, even of that select circle Hw'vhich he once reigned. They were /lajratalated in the Governor's speech upon 'ffliSitthey one and all knew were facts, not B|«g»tnlated upon something that might -■ '.usably occur. As a sample of Sir George Hinrtblnnders, the member for Grey and ■B(Colonel Trimble) had been stigmatised fH nring aided the New Plymouth harbour Bine for the purpose of benefitting his ffltinproperty, whereas the fact was that the ■utae had not a more bitter opponent in We home than the member in. question. KvoniglAit was quite necessary that the Spate of New Plymouth harbour should ■ttased, but not in the vindictive spirit Hinted by the previous speaker. He was Kin favour of approving of the measures Hfejjdiointhe Governor's speech, until he Hnlbem; at the same time he deprecated fjaWeaof condemning them until he saw Wiihey really contained. He was aston jjHiat the statement of the previous sHiter, that the Legislative Council had Bfkfilled by the friends of the present gtmocnt.

Sir HtorjeCtey had a singular idea of what llni truth, and that tact itself was a strik- Higatmple of the fact.

The present was a most llß'ltt'l^tMd1 for dealing with a ques i Hus kind, They were eDjoying a

I period of political tranquility. The Op ! position was most remarkably weak, and the majority on the side of the Government well assured. He hoped they would take advantage of this state of affairs, and Bet about honestly to grapple with this most important question. If the Government did not bring in a measure of the kind, he hoped some member would bring in such a measure; and if it was at all reasonable or statesmanlike in its proposals he would support it. He believed the measures could not be in safer hands than in those of the Government, if they would only apply themselves to it with the same careful con sideration they had displayed in connec tion with other branches ot the administra tion.

Dr. Wallis considered the speech dull, vague, and unsatisfactory. It neither guided, instructed, nor diverted. It dealt a fatal blow to party government, and that was what they had all along been aiming at. The framer3 of the speech appeared to

have been destitute of .political principles. They were neither Liberals nor Con servatives, but just a bit of each by turns, but neither long. The inconsistency was most apparent. The Hon. Mr Hall of the Upper House was a different person alto gether from the present Premier ; and the Colonial Secretary, a gentleman returned on the Bible-in-school's ticket, now ap peared before them as head of an educa tional system quite different in its aims and objects. He admitted that native affairs tended to peace, but contended that it was the Grey Government that laid the foundation of that satisfactory relationship, and the present Government were merely walking in the footsteps of their predeces sors. The Chinese Bill wa3 merely a fish ing for popularity, while the more important questions dealt with by the Australasian Conference were never once mentioned, The omission of all reference to local government was most marked. Colonel Trimble, in reference to the imputations made against him in connection with the New Plymouth harbour scheme, said that he had done his best to prevent that expenditure while it was possible to do so. He gave a long history of the scheme, and showed that the country settlers of Taranaki had been generally opposed to it. He entirely approved of the abolition of the provinces, and thought Sir George Grey showed himself a thorough Tory on this point. He considered it.would be danger ous to make the Legislative Council elec tive, as it would then be too powerful, Major Atkinson had not in any way exag gerated the gravity of the finaucial position when he took office.

Mr Bcjnny moved the adjournment of the debate.

In the Legislative Council this afternoon the Hos. Mk Chamberlain asked Mr Whitaker the following question of which he had given notice: "is it the intention oJ the Government to make any better pro vision than at present exists for the storage of gunpowder and dynamite, etc., in the neighbourhood of Auckland? Also,will they select a more suitable and safe powder ground in the Waitemata than the present one, at which vessels may anchor until they hare discharged such dangerous cargoes ?" Ma Chamberlain' saia that on January 26 a vessel with 25 tons of powder, and 75 tons of dynamite, anchored to discharge close to the North Shore, which is thickly populated. If an ex plosion had occurred, the result would have been disastrous to the city and suburbs. The magazine is in the luidst of a thick population and close to the gaol. If that ves sel had exploded, Auckland would have ceased to exist. All would have gone to glory or down below. The result would have been the same 113 if an eruption of Mount Eden had taken place. On the suggestion of Mr Whitaker Mr Chamberlin changed the question to a motion to move on an early day.

FRAUD ON THE N.Z.L. AND M.A. COMPANY.

A respectably-attired man, named Chas Edward, alias Lewis Levy, was charged at the City Court, Melbourne, on May 29 with obtaing £100 from the New Zealand Loan and Agency Company by means of false pretences. The prisoner on the 28th ult. called at the office of the company, and in. formed them that he had been com missioned by his employers, Messrs Hugh M'Carten and Co., millers, of Klielbourne, near Sandhurst, to request them to give him £100 for the pay ment of a bill due to a merchant in town by the firm. As the prisoner was known to tli.e New Zealand Loan and Agency Company as being in the employ of Hugh M'Carteu and Co., with whom they were in the habit of transacting business, the request was granted, and the fraud not discovered for some time afterwards. Detective Broom arrested the prisoner, who ia a well known criminal, having spent ten years in gaol. He was remanded for a week.

A SINGULAR ACTION.

A case possessing some most extraordi nary features, says the " Ballarat Star," was concluded yesterday at the Assize Court before his Honor Mr Justice Higin botham. The plaintiff, William Griffiths, sued Messrs Holmes and Salter, solicitors, of Ballarat, for the recovery of the sum of £20,(W0 for alleged careleseness and neglect on the part of defendants in conductiag a case in the Court of Assizes at Ballarat, at which plaintiff was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The offenco con sisted in the alleged malpractice of Grilli. ths in an accouchment, the result being that mother and child both died. The trial com menced on Thursday morning, and was ODly concluded last evening. During its course the plaintiff made some astounding assertions. He alleged that the majority of the witnesses for the prosecution had wil fully committed perjury, that the medical witnesses had maliciously given false evidence, and that his barrister and solicitors had conspired together to per vert the evidence in the case. A host of wit nesses were called, both on behalf of the plaintiff, and the defendants, and Griliiths himself, conducting his own case, occupied the witness-box for about five hours on the first day. He made the most strenuous exertions to prove his case, cross-examining the witnesses at great length. The counsel tor the defence characterised the action as a most shameful one. Eventually the jury re turned a verdict for the defendants, without retiring, and, in addition, that plaintiff bad not proved himself innocent of the charge of manslaughter, and had been legally convicted."

AN EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.

At the ltochester Police Court before Messrs Webster, P.M., and Stemberg and Smith, J P.'s, Hugh Lavery was charged with administering poison with intent to kill and murder one John James M'Coll, near Rochester, on the evening of the 7ih inst. We abridge from the " Bendigo Advertiser"' the following account of this extraordinary case :—

John James M'Coll stated that ho was a farmer residing at Kochester West, with his step-father, Hugh Lavery.' About nine o'clock on the night of Saturday, 7th May, his step-father came into the kitchen of the house with a flask of brandy in his hand. Lavery made the brandy into hot punch, and placed some before witness, who was so interested in the book he was reading that he did not take it at once. Lavery theu said, "You had better drink it up while it is hot." Witness took a mouthful of it, but it was so bitter that he could not take any more. He said to prisoner, "It has a bitter taste." The prisoner did not taste it, but smelt it, and said it was all right. He then began loading the gun. Witness, asked him where he was going. He said, ■' Down the paddock a bit," and went out. Witness thought he was going opossum-shooting, and presently he heard the dog barking near the house. He then began to feel stiff about the legs. He tried to walk, but could not do so without stag gering. He then began to think that be had been poisoned. He took a spoonful of grog and examined it. There appeared to be some white stuff mixed with it. Afccr a short time had elapsed prisoner came iv and eat down. Witness had his boots off at this time, and be put them on, intending to go to a neighbour's house. He went staggering out and stood leaning against a gatepost. He then re turned to the house, took off his boot?, and went to bed. While he was in bed he took v«ry bad ; the twitching of hi 3 muscles seemed to almost raise him out of the bed. He called the prisoner into the room and said, "I am done." Prisoner asked what was the matter. Witness re plied, " I am dying," and asked him to go for the doctor, or some of the neighbours. Prisoner said he would ro for the doctor. He kepi; walkiDg about the house, and witness again asked him to go for the doctor. He did not appear to be going, so witness got out of the bed after a hard struggle, and went into the kitchen. As soon as he got there bo fell stiff on to » box at the side of the wall. Witness managed to get ai far as the door, intending to go for a doctor, when the prisoner pulled him back and said, "JSfo, you won't go,' and locked both doors. Witness said, " For God's sake go, as I can't last much longer." Witness then1 accused him ot putting something iv his grog, and be replied that he never put any thing in it. He went to the vessel in which he had made witness's grog, took it to the fire and poured the a tuff out gradually. He said, " Look at that; it is quite clear." Witnessi went back to bed and called the prisoner in, and again asked him to go ior the doctor. He eu,id he would if witness signed itwo bills. Asked what they were for, and he said, " One is for Mr Buscombe and the other for myself," Witness said he would not do bo till he brought a doctor or someone else, and then he would sign anything for him. Prisoner said " Sign them first, and then I wiU bring the doctor." He went out to the kitchen and brought in the gnn. He said if witness did not sign them he would blow his head off. Witness then said he would sign them if he would promise not to touch him afterwards. Prisoner swore on a Koman Catholic prayerbook that he would not touch a hair of his head. Witness then signed the bill produced for Mr Buscombe. Did not notice the date on it. Prisoner said Mr Buscombe had sent it up three or four days before. Witness next signed .the bill produced, marked B. Prisoner at first wanted him to v sign this bill in blank. Witness told him to fUI it up for what he wanted. He said it was only for £9. He put in the nine in writing and figures, but nothing else. Wit : ness said it was not filled in properly, and finished it himself, putting in "pounds sterling, no shillings, and no pence.'' I Witness then signed it "John M'Coll." The previous bill he signed "John J. M'Coll." Witness sometimes used one form of signature and sometimes another. Prisoner, then said, " I want you to sign your name in three separate places on a blank sheet of paper." Witness said, "I will not;; you can shoot me before I will do it, ][ can see all you want is for me to sign everything over to you and take my life afterwards." He again swore on the prayerbook that he would not hurt a hair of witness's head. Witness said, "How can I believe you when you swore you would not touch me before f Prisoner said, " Sign it with out any more ceremony about it, or I will blow your brains out." Witness asked him what he wanted the signatures for. lie said to transfer the land back to him. Wit ness said he would write it out, and did so. Prisoner said it was no good, and he would write it out himself. He did so, and wit ness signed it, and then asked him to dis charge the gun, but he said he would not, ns it would make too much noise at that hour oi the morning. Witness said, '•Well, take her in pieces, give me one half, and you take the other." After a lot of per suasion he did so, and gave witness the stock, and kept the barrel. Witness then lay down on his bed. Prisoner walked about the room, and then went into the kitchen. He picked np a bar of iron, and came into the room again, and Baid he was going to take witness's life. Witness prayed him not to touch him. Prisoner said, " I see I have done wrong; I can't help myself now. I know the first thing you will do in the morning will be to go and give information to the police, and I must carry out my threat." Witness again prayed him not to touch him. Prisoner thought awhile, and walked back to the kitchen. He returned to the bedroom, and said, " Give me the stock of the gun, and I will put her together. I will go to bed, and you can go to sleep." He then took the stock, walked out into the kitchen, and commenced fitting the gun together. He was coming into the room, and whan he was at the door witness tried to get out the window. Prisoner caught hold him by the shirt collar, and threw him on to the bed, and put his hand on his throat. Witness made a spring and shook him off, and then canght hold of the gnn and

wrenched it out of Ids hand. Witness hit him about three blows on the head with the stock, and he fell on the floor. The gun was broken by the blows. Witness then jumped out of the window and came into .Rochester, about three miles distant, with only his shirt on. He went first to Mr Doherty's store and got a pair oli trousers and boots. He theu went to tlie police station and gave information, When the prisoner poured out the iiquid it toll on the bricks on the hearth. Constable Keefe afterwards took the bricks up, witness point ing them out to him. After other evidence, including ihat of the chemist from whom prisoner had purchased the strychnine, and of Mr W. Johnson, Go vernment analyst, who proved that there was strychnine at the bottom of the teacup and on the bricks where the brandy had been thrown, Mr Wrixon intimated that the prisoner would reserve his defence for the higher court. Lavery was then com mitted to take his trial at the Court of Assize to be held in Sandhurst on the 24th October.

This year their fees had undergone a very large diminu tion. Last year they amounted to £583, but this year they had only reached £415, thus shewing a net loss of £160.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT SCARE AGAIN.

[From " Money," April 6,1881.]

There is an offence known to the law, with which, during the wars of tho latter Georges, iudtres and jurors were made far more familiar than, are thoau o£ this generation, called com bining and conspiring unlawfully to debase or denreciato tho public securities, and in view of sundry practices that have for some years been in vogue amongst certain classes of unscrupu lous persons both outside and inside the legiti mate circle ot Stock Exchange operators, it Beems much to be regretted that some such pro cess should not now be available in the cases of those who, for the most mercenary and Improper ends, have lived for years with impunity by making the grossest misstatemonte about other dcoWsproperty: or, to use tho flippant term adapted from Throgmorton-streei. argot to describo what is, in reality, a most serious and nefarious offence, by " bearing;" that is to say. putting forth tho wildest and vilest reports about stocks shares, and other securities, and thereby causing nervous, timid, and unwary, or ill informed holders, to part with their property to tho Bears for very much less than its real value, tho latter realizing in a few days afterwards large sums of money thereby. Indeed, it is any thing but certain at this moment whether an intelligent young barrister, equally estranged from briefs and brokers, and longing for a good introduction to both, might not very profitably employ his Easter vacation in looking up the statutes and reported cases upon the law of conspiracy, us further extended and interpreted by the ''misrepresentation" clauses of tho Debtors' Act of 1869, which can be made to in clude almost everything that is not only not strictly true, but everything (by which money has been obtained) that a defendant cannot ■ prove to be true, after his own mouth has, been closed by a criminal prosecution. This is not always an easy task, as many entirely innocent as well as guilty persons have learnt to their with this subject it is to bo noticed that within tho last few weeks the gas stock Bears have once more trotted out their turnip-headed ghost to alarm feeble folk, and make them believe that the end of the gaa world had at length arrived. But it is not the old ghost this time on a prop no taller than a lamp-post. The now ghost is mounted on a pedestal half the height of tho Monument, and the turnip on top is illuminated by an cleotric apparatus, or ap parition, that seoms to look down with a glaring Blanco of scorn upon the pigmy maze of car boniferous glow-worms that dot tho gloom around its ankles in the strcots below. More over, it is not a single ghoßt on this occasion, but a wholo family of luminous Anaks that have been planted at various coigns of vantago in the big City to threaten annihilation to everything gaseous. Stocks and shares, mains and meters, retorta and receivers, lamp-posts and lamp lighters, chalrnion, directors, secretaries, clerks, all and several, are shortly to go the way of the thousand institutions and inventions once thought indispensable for all timo, but which, liko Jonah's gourd, scienco has destroyed with a breath. Vaivictist At least this is what the Bears say; and, let us ask, upon what authority ? Has tho slightest advance been made by the electricians towards clearing their path of the obstacles that, as we pointed out three years ago, are insuperable, in tho present slate of knowledge, to their dis placing gas and gas companies? Ha re they achieved the slightest appreciable economy or decrease in tho large comparative coat of pro duction t Have they found out tho unvarying and indeati'uctiblc medium for tho olectric cur rent J Can they tell us yet tho antidote for atmospheric disturbances whereby all London, if dependent upon them, might bo in total dark ness for hours J Is there the slightest symptom of their having invented any feasible mode of storing tho light in case of BUdden demand ? Is there less probability now than then that thousands of unskilled domestics would bo annually sacrificed in the manipulation of this highly Interesting but extremely dangerous inaojunery! To this day tho answer to all these questions is a negative. What has been done is no more, of course, than might have been expected from the energotic, intelligent, and progressive Bons of a wealthy nation, who havo never hesitated, either in a collective or individual capacity, to give every promising invention a fair and liberal trial. Certain firms, in whoso extensive establishments extra expense, that can be dis tributed over a largo area, and ultimately recouped in othor ways, ia of no consequence, havo adopted one or other of tho new lights, and after a timo we shall have practical reports upon the results as to their respective utility, effect upon the eyes of work pcoplo, steadiness, coat, continuity, colour, and other important particulars. Amongst other invited patrons of electric illu mination, tho Lord Mayor and Corporation of tho City of London have naturally not been omitted, and, either by accident or a keen sense of humour on the part of hia civic majesty, the date appointed for making experiments at great expense at various points of the City waß that which combines the height of ridicule with tho worst omens of superstition—viz., Friday, the Ist of April I Moreover, after alloiying all the dark winter months to pass by with only the much-abusod gas to cheer our lonely way, the trial is to bo made from this tjmc to Midsummer between sunset (ranging from 7 to 8.30 p.m.) and sunrise, when nearly all the millions of Lon doners aro at homo in the suburbs, and, as a Times correspondent pointed out on Saturday last, the only beings left to trivo judgment upon the electric experiments will bo the City ofrlce keepers and tho City cats. And now let us cxamino tho ways of the Bears. The jobbers on hearing of this arrangement pious and worthy men are they who operate in thia market-considerately put down '.he gas stocks in the official list, in anticipation of im mense blooks of stock coming into the market as soon as tho lighting experiments were com menced. But there were other wise men in Gotham besides these jobbers—men who thought about gas by day and mused upon it in the night, and who, having made up their minds that there was no danger of gaa companies' pro fits ever decreasing sixpence a."share, went their ways rojoicing, and bought every share they could whenever a " fall" was announced in the usual lugubrious style. But tho day of discom fiture camo fortliose pious-jobTXSrs. 'When the settlement arrived they Had not tho stock to deliver that they had so freely sold, and a sudden rise of llvo or six pounds brought to their serene minds tho unwilling conviction that though electricity may give light without heat, gas is something by which unreflect ing pcoplo may easily burn thoir fingers. It has been very amusing to watch the wily jobber cunningly endeavouring to per suado the broker that ho could only tako his client's stock for the account as a favour, and noxt dny exhibiting his poverty of stock by asking tho broker if ho would liko to deliver for cash, ihus showing that ho had other engagements he could not meet. Space will not permit of our giving all tho fluctuations of the kind wo havo referred to, but tho official list will confirm our observations. In conclusion, wo strongly urge gas stock holders not to bo scared into parting with their securities. Lighting London Bridge and some other public places with electricity will not affect them in any appreciable manner, while for every factory, theatre, &c, that may adopt It there will be 60 or 100 private houses built to supply customers for gas. Let us hopo, then, that this is tho last appearance of the Bears' ghost, and that it will now bo laid to rcat in its grave for long years to come, if not for ever,
