SUPREME COURT.-This Day.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) Thk quarterly sittings of the Circuit Court •were opened this morning, His Honor taking his seat upon the Bench at 11 o'clock. THE GRAND JURY. The following gentlemen were sworn in as the Grand Jury :— Alexander Bell, Arthur Bull, Edward John Cox, Thomas Edward Durance, Albert Eaton, Philip Campbell, Hill ' Glover, John Gordon, Philip Herapath, George Holdship, Francis Jagger, George Howard Layers, Thomas Miller, William Bartleet Lang bridge, Lawrence David Nathan, Francis Phillipps, Charles Ring, Thomas Short, John Soppet, William James Taylor, and Hartley Webster. Mr L. D. Nathan was chosen foreman.

THE JUDGE'S CHARGE,

His Honor delivered the following charge : Mr Foreman, and gentlemen of the Grand Jury—The cases which will be brought before you on this occasion are of about the average number that are set down for trial at the quarterly Circuit sittings of this Court. There are 18 prisoners charged with 20 offences, with whom you will have to deal. Fonr of these are natives. There are six casea of offences against the person, nine of offences against property, and three mixed cases, namely of libel and perjury. Nona of these offences are of a very aggravated character. Still there are several of them which are of a rather grave nature. Some, on the other hand,are of a_ very trivial kind, such as I think the committing Magistrates might very well hare dealt with themselves instead of putting the country to tbe expense of sending them up for trial at this Court. Amongst the offences against persons the most serious cases are two of rape committed upon youngchildren,namely upon girls of il and 13 yeara of age. Into the filthy details of these cases It is unnecessary that I should enter; bat let me remind you of the nature of the crime which is charged. Rape consists in having carnal knowledge of a woman against her eminent, that being the essence of the charge—against her consent. In the case of a woman over 12 years of age where consent is given no crime is committed. And as in one of these cases, to which I have referred, the prosecutrix is over 12 years of age, you will have to be satisfied that she was not a consenting party, which may be gathered from the surrounding circum stances—whether she called for help at the time, or whether she complained imme diately after. In this case you will have to consider whether the absence of com plaint at the time and for some months afterward was due to ignorance on the part of the prosecutrix or whether it did not. imply consent. In the case of girls under twelve years there can be no consent by law. The mere fact of having had con nection with a female under that age con stitutes thecrime whether consent was gained or not. You will be satisfied of the crime whether or not consent is shown, There is one very serious case which you have to consider, namely, a case of assault with in tent to rob, the facts being apparently that a person designing to rob a branch bank at Tauranga does not commit a burglary, but knocks at the door and then rushes in, throws pepper in the manager's face and as saults him. That this was an endeavour to rot I think the evidence will show very clearly, If you are satisfied that the person who is charged with it committed the assault, then you are fairly entitled to draw the inference that he committed it with the intent to perpetrate a robbery, which, how ever, was frustrated by information pre viously given to the person who was as saulted. There are three cases of wound ing, which will be charged against persons as having been done with various intents, and the facts of thesq cases are very plain. In one of them the wounding is alleged to have beeu committed by a native in the course of a loud quarrel, in another by a sailor upon a Dersoa who had given evidence against him in an inferior Court and in the third case by a man animated by some wild notions of love. If you are satisfied with the fact, you only have to enquire if the intent be satisfac torily proved to your mind. If more than one charge is made against any prisoner, you may, if you choose, ignore one ot the counts and find on the others or find upon them generally leaving the question of counts to bs dealt with by the petty jury. Amongst the offences against property there Is comprised one case of nor je stealing, one case of cattle stealing, three cases of fexoulung nnd -'- catering and- ICITO OV stealing from the till. Some ot these are of the petty character of which' I.have spoken,—the amounts stolen being only a few shillings—and therefore of a kind which could well have been dealt with by the Magistrate before whom thoy were brought. In the other cases the facts semn simple enough. Ido not think that there is anything in them upon which you require to be directed. All of you are aware of. what constitutes the offence of stealing, and it matters not, if the larceny •be shown, whether there was a felonious intent in taking the property—you are justified in finding a true bill. There is one peculiar case on tbe list—one of attempting to injure property. • I do not . know how the indictment will be put to you. The case, however, is that of a man who, having had a family quarrel, or something of the sort, takes a charge of dynamite and explodes it outsie'e of the house. Now it will be for you to determine whether there was an intent to injure the property by exploding the. charge, or Whether the man was merely attempting to frighten or alarm those with whom he had quarrelled. If there was any intent to in-.; jure, then the. mere committing ot a rash and extravagant design constitutes the crime.'' If there was not, ~ and it was merely, a wild act which caused tbe injury then; excuse may be offered for it.: I» this case, i however, it does' not appear that any actual .injury: occurred, and unless you. will find .from the. evidence .that the,re . was .;an;/in tention to' injure the (property, i yovi could uot find a true bilL If the act, was done merely', to frighten people and no. injury being: done, ;i you are .justified in finding a true bill.',. iThere. will also; be 'a cake. I which '!may give you, ..• cdn^. siidurahle difficulty—a case of. arson, a crime exceedingly.; hard ■to . prove. Unless you are perfectly satisfied; that the evidence does not implicate the accused, then your duty will be—if you see some reasonable presumption upon the evidence I that,the men committed the crime—to find I a true bill. If there is no evidence upon which the prisoners should be on trial, you will not find a trne bill; bnt if you find that there ia justification for letting the matter go before, the petty jury, Who are better able to 'try .the facts, then do bo. There is one charge of the serious crime of perjury which consists in giving false evidence in a judicial matter. This persen is charged with having given evidence that he did not beat, inn certain way, a, child woqm he was charged before a magistrate with beating, and upon that evidence the case was dismissed. There is now the evidence of three children that he was guilty of the offence. If you are' satisfied with the evidence given ,by these children you will find a true bill, and if you. consider that they are not to be be lieved you will not find a true bill. How ever, nerjury is a difficult . matter to. prove," and if the surroundings, therefore, are , such,.'as to lead, you to believe that the person charged is guilty, then it will be your duty to send the case to the petty jury, who are in a position to investigate it more narrowly. I was exceedingly sorry to observe from the Satur day evening paper that a letter had been inserted in regard to this cage, purporting to be. a comment upon the children who have given evidence, ' and the person accuse! Now, it must be evident to everyone that the insertion of such a letter iv a paper upon the ere ot the trial of the person accused must necessarily, tend to in fluence the course of public justlce, v and: as such is a serious offence aqd one which 1 should feel bound to fake,,notiqe of, .1 should feel bound to bring the; "parties thus inserting such matter tending to influence ihi' coarse of justice before the Court, were. I not satisfied from the. general cordnct of the press in this place that the letter referred to was more pro bably inserted through' accident er oversight than from any intention to influence justice. But I must warn, these parties who are in charge of the "press tljat they are not in any way to influence or allow others—for I airs sure they would not do jt themselves-to influence the course of public justice. It is a serious crime, and if I thought it was done wilfully, I would take steps to have t\e responsible persons brought before this Court, iam satisfiedj gentleman, that if ■ any of you have seen that letter you will not be influenced by anything there said. There are two cases which will come before you that may almost be called a private prosecution—a prosecution for libel. •Now, gentleman, the crime of libel U such that when a libel has been published against a person he has two courses open to him—either to bring a civil action or to bring an indictment against the person on the ground that tte libel is made <'ab indictable offence, in

that it tends to create a breach of the peace. A libel consists in any writing or publication that tends to bring a person into ridicule. It ia thus defined by a very able writer :—" A libel is the publica tion ot defamatory matter. Defamatory matter is matter which directly, or by insinuation, or irony, tends to expose any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule." That is the definition. Now, the publica tion of such a libel is an indictable offence, but it is to some extent modified by other circumstances viz., that where the alleged libel :us statements are true, are proved to be true, and are published for the public benefit, then they do not constitute an indictable offence.- Neither are they libellous—if they are fair comments upon the public acts of a public man, that is, if they are fair and legi timate comments—whether true or not doe 3 not matter if they are be. lieved by the writer. In the first of these cases that I have referred to, the newspaper in which the libel is alleged to have been published contains severe criti cism, which you may think, if untrue, would be malicious—would be calculated to bring the prosecutor into "hatred, con tempt, and ridicule"; but you must cansider whether the publisher of this libel has gone beyond a fair comment upon the public acts of a public man. If you are of opinion that he does not, then you will find your bill, but if it exceeds due bounds, then it is for you to say whether the statements made amount to "defamatory matter.'1 You and you alone are the judges of what is libellous matter. I can but give you the general statement of law as to in what it consists. The second of the cases is somewhat different because in it you will probably find that there in an insinuation of crimi nal offences against, the prosecutor, la that case, unless the publisher of such a libel were prepared to justify it by shewing that it was true, and by shewing that publication was necessary for the public benefit, then you are clearly bound to find a true bill. That cannot in any case come within '• comments of the public acts of public men." Public acts are fair- subjects for comment by the press but the prcs3 has no right to impute crimes or enter into the private character, and life of a man, as if they were part of his public conduct. These are all the general remarks which 1 have to make to' you. |No doubt you have observe;! jicntlemen that the surroundings of the Court have bean somewhat altered since you were last assembled here. The late Kegistrar has been appointed Crown Prosecutor, and we have now an officer in the former position of long experience, and I have no doubt that you will find that the duties you will have to petform will be facilitated by these officers. The Grand Jury then withdrew.

TRUE BILLS. I The Grand Jury found true bills against Edward Foster, stealing from a dwelling, and John Mulhern, s.tealing from a dwell ing ; Ngawaka, horse-stealing; Thomas Sims, assault with intent to murder; and John D'ickson Wickham, for a case of libel. Hi 3 (Honor remarked that as the Crown Prosecutor had but recently been ap pointed, he had not had sufficient time to prepare all the bills. It was agreed that the grand jury Would consider the remain log bills on Wednesday afternoon.

LARCENY.

. Francis Hallert Sheppard, 18, described as a warehouseman, was charged upon several indictments with larcenies of watches and monies on the 12th,of February of the present year at the Auckland Baths". The particulars of these charges will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The prisoner was a member of the Auckland Rowing Club, and during the absence of his companions he took the opportunity of stealing their watches, etc., from their cloth ing. Prisoner pleaded guilty to the five charges. Mr Tyler addressed the Court in mitiga tion of the offence on the grounds that the prisoner . was a very : young man, recently from England, and that the offences were committed at the same time, and in the same frame of mind. He was also suffering from incipient consumption, and was not likely to recover. His Honor asked if Mr Tyler had a medical certificate in proof of prisoner's state of. health, and, as such was not in Mr Tyler's possession, he reserved sentence for the production ot the same. His Honor slid he bad considered the appeal of counsel on prisoner's behalf, but while taking the state of his health into consideration could not shorten the punish ment on that account—that matter rested with the Executive Government. He was sorry to see..aj!puna-man... like prison**, i«. "such a degraded position, and hoped his punishment would be beneficial on his future life.

Sentence: Twelve months' imprisonment. Mr Williamson, Crown Prosecntor, said he had been requested to ask the Court if an order could be made that the money, about £2, found upon the prisoner, could be restored to the pawnbroker, as prisoner stated that )he had received it on the goods he pledged.. ' .His Honor said he could not make such ■anorder.

STEALING FROM A DWBLUNO.

Edward Foster pleaded guilty to stealing cheques and money from a dwelling-house on the 21st June, amounting to £149, the property of Thomas l'avies.' I The prisoner expressed: his regret, and said he was unfortunately drunk at the time or he should not have committed the robbery. The money had been restored to the owner.

His Honor said prisoner had been con victed on his own confession of a very serious offence, and he heped the light sentence he was about to pass upon him would act as a warning in the future.

Sentenced to 18 calendar months with hard labour.

i ;, BUBAKINO AND ENTBRING. • John Mulhern, alias Berjamin Lymer, aged 14, was arraigned upon three indict ments . charging hlrn with breaking and .-the ; dwelling-house' of • George 'Small,'af Port' Albert, on the;6th' February;' and 17th and 24th /April, and' stealing 'snridry ariicles.and'food therefrbm.

'Mr Williamson,. Crown Prosecutor, opened the case for the prosecution, and stated that' at the commencement iof. the month of March, the prosecutor missed his horse from his pacdock, and some time after discoveredher in the possession of David Johns, in brie of the Waikato districts, he enquired about the animal, and was jn foriiied'that Johns purchased the horse of ' the prisoner who tried Jo borrow money to pay for it; he .would call the several wit nesses and if the facts which he bad re ceived were proved, he had no doubt but he shouldrestablish the guiit of the prisoner, Ratewa, a native residing at Parnell, de posed the horse was stolen from a paddock at Hamilton,1 ou the south side of the river.

CAPETOWN, 7th Juue.

■ The Transvaal question has almost dropped out of notice. The Royal Com-: miation are supposed to be at Pretoria, but the telegraph line being down very little information on the subject is obtainable. iMatters seem to be quietening down. Trade is going back to its old channels. Most alarming rumours are -continually being circulated, but may be _ discredited as emanating from disappointed specu lators. The Cape Government have introduced a scheme for the extension of three main lines still further Into the in ferior at a cost of £5,000,000. ' The Bill has been read a second time and nearly passed through Committee. The Basutos are col lecting the fines inflicted on them, and sub mission to Sir Hercules Robinson's award is fully expected ' The Customs dues of this colony show a large increase.

HYMNOLOGY EXTRAORDINARY.

This is reasonable, Bnd bears the best of common tense- How the translator gets his " biting Boulpture" from the word "pressurls" ft is difficult to say, and another man. notwithstanding the Immßnslty of his intellect and the profundity of his learning a) compared with' mine, is apparently unable to explain. Supposing, however, that by a free, very free; translation ihe poet's words will bear this construction, does this improve matters ? "Another Man" politely informs "me that I don't know "the proper meaning of the word sculpture." I won't presume, therefore, to give my own idea of tbe word, but quote the dic tionary, which informs me that a sculpture Is ," carving or graving in wood, stone, or metal. 'A biting carving or graving, whether of wood, Btone.or metal, would be quite aa carious a phenomenon ua biting' Bculptnre, and the prooess ot polishing atones with it would be just as remarkable.

CHRIST IN MAN-THE DIVINE ASPECT OF HUMANITY.

[Sermon Preached in Lome-street Hall on Sunday Morning, June 12, by Samuel Edgeb, B.A.]

John i, li; 1 Tim., oil., 16; Rom. viii. 29.

The day of hope for the world and its religious condition will have as its morning star something like a conscientiously equal and consistent treatment of divine author ity ; especially but not exclusively in relation to the Scriptures. When our minds are set against anything, how easy it is to find God condemning it; and how easy to find his sanction for what we happen to like. This has in all ages been the habit of men, to whom religion i 3 an exceptional thing,— a thing of times and seasons and places ; but who have no wish to recognize in it a controlling power over every single thing in life. To any intelligent man, who does no banish his intelligence from his religious moods, it must be immediately evident, that, even supposing God's providence were more in one want or circumstance than another, it is (juite impossible for our puny minds to say m which; and impertinent in the extreme lor us to make the attempt. The prevalence of this habit in relation to the Bible has, I think, done more than any other single thing to bring upon it un deserved criticism. When some little scholar takes up with some small idea—a very imperfect or distorted portion of truth, and sets to work to make the Bible uphold it, it does not require much cleverness to get phrases and expressions that seem, or by a little manipulation can be made to do so, all the remainder of the Bible so far as that idea is concerned, being regarded as of no consequence at all. But the moral effect on the individual is highly pernicious savoring of dishonesty; the effect on the Bible is to bring it into discredit,'un i necessarily. The reason why I speak of this now is because we have a remarkable instance of this unfair treatment, in the subject lam bringiug before you, concern ing which I trust to your exercising ( your own judgment, and not depending in the least on what 'I say, isxeopt as a help to you ia forming that judgment. I You remember what we saw a fortnight ago concerning the Scripture representation of God being in Christ. I did not direct your attention to many Bible passages, be cause I considered that it would hardly be disputed that such loas the Scripture teach ing., It would more probably be questioned: whether the Bible was a reliable authorty in teaching what might be deemed unreason able, and I was therefore anxious rather to make clear to you the fundamental grounds of intelligible thought on which such an idea could very well, and with perfect con sistency, be received. ' Now it throws a sin gularly striking light ■on this; teach ing of "God in Christ" when we get hold of its counterpart, " Christ in man ;" and mark how the Scrip T ture writers hold the two in a sort of harmonious unity, as though they intended us to understand that, according to their way of looking at it, the two phrases would interpret each other. Here it Is that I have to find fault with the partial and unfair treatment of Scripture. Why are not told quite as distinctly and as often, and made to feel it as important to remember that " Christ is a man " as that "JGod is the Christ?" This thought struck me forcibly in quite early studies of the Scriptures—that if I wanted to feel the itorce of dh& expression J should have at least to bear, in mind ;, the other. And now a more mature reflection leads me to . the conclusion that when we fairly allow each thought, to shine in the other's light, it will opefl up' to us now paths ot conviction and of life that may somewhat help to remove great ob structions to religion, and to restore a lost, much needed vigor. Look then fora.few minutes at' this twofold teaching, which is presented to us in three forms if expres sion :—(1) Col. 11. 9, we have—"ln him dwelleth all: the fulness of the Godhead ;bodily;" which is followed by—"Ye are complete in him "—" Ye are risen with him," C. 1, v. 19, we have—" It pleased the. Father that in him should alt fulness dtfell," proceeded by, "He is the head- of the body, the Church," followed by—" To present you holy and unblomeable and unreprovable iv God's sight." Christ being the head, and tUe, Church the body, are not the head and *tf«j iroay tjup m utuurp »dv m 11IOT JVlofßr over, in Eph. we have these two expres sions : c. lv. 23-"The Church, which is his body, the fulness of Mm that filleth all in all." C. 3v. 19-" That ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (2) In Phil, we have the expression, c. 2 y, 6, "Who 'being in the form of God," &c, correspond ■ins with which we have, c. 3 v. 9, "Not .having pine own righteousness," but that which is through the faith of Christ ex plained by Gal. c. 2 v. 20, " I live no more, .but Christ liveth in me"; and JCph. c. 4 V. 13, " Till we all come unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the ful ness of Christ," that is, a man is measured by the fulness of Christ. (3) to the expressions in sin—if we have Christ saying—" I q,nd my Father are one," "He that hath .seen me. hath seen ihe Father,',' , we,have.also c. 17, v. 21—"That •they also may be one in. us," "I in them, and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one"; and when it is added "that the world may know that thoa hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast: loved me—is not this distinctly isaving he jthat hath- seen them hen seeif me ? Remem ber that these expressions ' concerning Christ, on the one side, are the, or among ;the strongest that are supposed:-.-to assert the divinity of Christ; >nd then reflect that those, on the other'side, con cerning man, are either precisely the same: or equally strong; and am I not justified in asking : Are not the one as much the word of God, as much inspired and as authorita tive as the other?- Do they not seem to assert that Christ is in man, as.-andasmnch as," God is in Christ; and that the fulness of God should be as much in man as in phrist ? And are we justified in attaching supreme importance, with the greatest intensity of meaning, to the one, while we regard: the Other as being almost meaning less and 'equally unimportant ? ■ Well,', T icanibt do it. These are not my teachings.' They are'the very words of the9e Scriptures;" and so far from bejng .pasual,.
