whether I got them back. I had two sets of plans. I could not say that Maurice Kelly's new hotel was bailt from those plans. Mr Hesketh: Were those plans prepared for your house. Witness: I had two sets of plans. Mr Hesketh: Why don't you answer my question. His Worship pointed out that witness referred to plans for two houses-^ an exist ing and projecting one. Mr Laishley objected to these questions. He could not see what they had to do with the charge of smuggling. His Worship considered they were ir relevant.

Examination continued : His liquor was left about six hundred yards below the bridge. Two of them left a little before the other. Do not know which they were. He referred to himself and another. Did not know who the other was. Thought it was Kobert WilsoH. Was sure it was Robert Wilson ; could swear to it. The fact that Robert Wilson was sitting at the other end of the Court hatt not refreshed his memory so suddenly. They went two and two. ■Sometimes they went single file. The defendants did not go with them. They said they would go a short way and meet them at Orewa. Next saw them at Orewa. Witness was one of the first to start with the loads. Knew from the instructions of his brother where they were to go—from Duck Creek to Orewa. They did not all return from Orewa together. They did call at Maurice Kelly's for a drink. Kobert Wilson was amongst those who called. To Mr Laishley: If he had to take bottles in a bag from Fisherman's Creek to Lucas' Creek, he would prefer to go by the Wade, becaxise the other way was rough. There were places quite as suitable for " planting " purposes, quite as suitable as Fisherman's creek, and much nearer to the Wade. Maurice Kelly was then recalled by the prosecution. To Mr Hesketh: James Wrigley prepared the plans for the new house. He did not see the plans till they had been prepared and shewn to his mother. He had not seen the plans before the old house was burned down. Mr Wrigley had not pre pared any plans for his mother prior to the' fire. He"gave Adam some cases before the1 fire, about 100 yards from the hotel. It was at night. When they went to Orewa it was in single file. There were 10 men and 8 horses at Duck Creek. Believed the two defendants went across the river in a boat. They left the grog at the right-hand side of the bridge at Orewa. Did not notice the distance from the bridge. It was at night, When they went down the hill, they could see defendants, who were to have met them on the road. They over took defendants near the bridge. Did not ask defendants how they went from Duek1 Creek to Orewa, but they must have gone in a boat. The grog was put in the boat, and eight of them crossed in the boat. Was not sure how many went in the boat. Knew that he went. They tied up the horses before crossing in the boat. After the grog was emptied, they crossed back in the boat to where the horses were. Two or three came over in the boat at a time. The eight men went over to have a drink. They took charge of their respective lots when they got back to their horses. They were all cooeying. Could not say that he cooeed, . At this stage of the proceedings, Mr Hes koth said he had serious grounds for com .plaint. It appeared that Tom Kelly had found reason for leaving the Court, and he went in the care of a constable. Then Robert Wilson required to retire, and he was now informed that they bad a drink outside with the constable, and had been permitted an opportunity of speaking to a witness—Casey. [This was highly objec. tionable, especially when he was recalling witnesses.

Mr Laishley "said ie was impossible to keep them entirely separate. They had no power to keep them separate at night, and here they were constantly mixing. His^Worship said that the only thing he "could suggest wonld be that they all be put in separate cells at the Lunatic Asylum. •(Laughter.) '■-• Mr Pardy said he had been informed by a constable that not a word had passed between the witnesses, and there was no ground for the statement. If the constable bad taken drink with anyone, the matte*: would be brought before Mr Superintendaut Thoir.aou, and the man would be punished. But he objected to the annoyance to which he was subjected from a man named Scott, who was constantly drawing his attention to the movements of witnesses. But one side had no mure reason to talk than the other, for there were people in Court who nppearcd to have a great animus against witnesses for the prosecution, and who were constantly communicating with the wit nesses, fle also objected to the constant suspicion with which he appeared to.be regarded by these people. Mo man had done more for the defence than himself. Mr Hesketh said he could bear out the truth of that statement; but Mr Scott was naturally annoyed at seeing the witnesses moving in and out of the Court. Mr Laishley said if the prosecution liked they could also be nasty, but they did not desire to be so. He had grave cause of complaint against people in Court who were friendly to the defence communicating with others outside. ■' The matter then dropped. . '■ .. :. The witness, James Frost, was next re called.- When they got across the river,they found defendants drawing: off-the grog. Maurice Kelly led them to the spot, where they placed the grog, whicbj he believed, Was belovr the bridge, fle was almost sure thatall eight left the bridge together. There mi^ht have been a minute difference.. They did not separate before they got to Foller dewri's. He stopped outside Follerdbwns, but did not go inside. All stopped there for a few minutes to bid Maurice Kelly good bye. He had a parting glass outside.' He shook Maurice by the hand,and said ''Good night, Kelly." Did not know whether the ethers were there. No drinks were brought out of the house. He got his out of a little flask^Vrhich he carried.' Maurice Kelly remained at Follerdowns, at least, was there when witness left. Witness and his brother went straight on to Ararimu.,. ; To Mr Laishley—He was acquainted with the greater part of the country round the Wade. Did not know Fisherman's creek district well. Know the rood from Fisher man's creek to Lucas's creek, and. the road from the Wsdo to Lucas's creek. If he had to carry bottle* in bags on horseback from Fisherman's creek to Lucas's creek, he vrauld come by the Wade. There was too much ti-tree on the other road, and the ground was rougher. George Samuel Emptage was next called for the prosecution. Mr Laishley'said the prosecution had never intended to call this witness. He knew nothing of the smugg ling, but as the defence had been set up that the groe had been removed before the fire, he wished to call this man, who was the first person at the fire after it happened. Witneßf, who had been a seaman on the Tarn O'Sbanter trading between^ Auckland and the Wade was then called. On the morning of the;l9th .Tuly, the steamer was alongside the Wade wharf. . He;, was on deck shifting the steamer, when be .saw something burning in. the direction of the Wade HeteL He ran on shore, and found that it was the Wade Hotel. 'Savrone man coming round the back, only half dressed. Did not know his name. The man had to go in to get out the otners. When they came out, they were all half dressed. The first man told witness that he had jumped through a. window- ■■ ills hand was cut. Those present did their utmost to get the things out of the hotel. .. Roderick Urquhart, bullock driver, re membered when Adam was arrested numbered being in the Wade Hotel about three weeks before, |when Adam and Maurice Kelly were present. :. Some conversation took place between Maurice Kelly and Adam. Did not hear what they said. Adam said to Maurice Kelly "Is that man {pointing to witness) right,"and Kelly said •> yes." He Baid Maurice Kelly give Adam three or four pounds in £1 notea, and heard him Bay that Sras the money for the grog. Adam then asked for anotberpoiind to redeem his watea, which witness believed be got. fle. .w»B bullock driving for Tom Kelly last summer. ToMr Hflßketh : Had told Mr Laishley all that took place at the Wade Hptelwhen Adam got the money. He went to Whan gaiei Heads shortly after the conversation referred to, and came back about three weeks ago. He came came, back in order to go gagging at the Wade .Wo one ttked him to go baok. Nobody wrote to him after coming back, and finding the' father and son there. Did not re member young Bond saying "Eory, you are the fellow who can throw a great deal of light on this ™£ng. *J| not remember saying that he did not know anything about it except what he saw SThe newspapers. Did not remember having gone to Bond's store at all i since he I came back. Knew Bond's store. Had been there before he went away. footed • Nicholas Casey, settler, then deposed. I He pleaded guilty yesterday to tmngcon cerned in a smuggling transaction. That took place in the month of November, la t year. They started from Fallerdowns We, which was then used by a.pubhc house. Tiere were eight of them in, wi. They went from Maurice Kelly's to. Duck CraaVandwhen they got there he saw Adam emptying the gw« ?nt ot twocasks, «od puttiDg it into two smaller casks and ~ jars. Polkinghorne was also mere,

When they arrived at Orewa, they gavo the grog in charge to Adam and Polkfng horne. Knew the direct road from Fisher man's Creek to Lucas' Creek. The Okura road was the direct or cross-country road. If he had to carry battles in bags on horse back from Fisherman's Creek to Lucas' Creek, he would take the Wade road. Could not remember going into Enos Bond's The reason why he pleaded guilty to the charge the day before yesterday, was be cause he knew that he had bought the grog. He did not plead guilty under the advice of Mr Tyler or Maurice Kelly. It was not arranged between the six of them that they should plead guitly to throw suspician off Maurice Kelly. Was not ready to do a bit of smuggling business for the Kellys when they required. ( He did not help to draw oft" the grog. He , had a drink though, and it wasn't bad grog either. (Laughter.) He had never been overland from Duck Creek to Orewa. Did not know the name of the country. He left' the others on the road after they had passed Fallerdown's. Could not say if Maurice Kelly was one of the "boys "he left on the road. Tom Kolly, the Wilsons, and the others were there when he left. Witness here gave a description of the road, which a few minutes before he said he knew nothing about. Mr Hesketh: But the witness said a minute ago that no one stopped at Faller> down's. His Worship srid it might be explained by the fact that there was plenty of rum knocking about that night. To Mr Laishley : Could not say whether any of the party could have lagged behind at Fallendown's without his noticing it.

The case was then adjourned till 10.30 a.m. on Monday,

SHOCKING MINING ACCIDENT.

The correspondent of the "Argus gives tjie following report of a terrible and fatal accident-which occurred on Friday morning at 11 o'clock, at the claim of the Wonga and Birmingham Company, situated a short distance beyond. the southern end of the Scotchman's "claims. On the ground1 11 parties of tributers are at work, and while the men who worked below,were on the surface tor " crib time " an alarm was given by a man named Murdoch M'Quarry that his two mates were buried in their claim. It was at once seen that an immense mass of earth had fallen, and the men, who from the first Md no hope of rescuing those below alive, worked with unflagging energy to recover the bodies. According to M'Quarry, himself and mates—James Thompson and Thomas Scott—had decided to remove a prop, with the view of taking out some profitable dirt, their object being to instantly replace the support with a larger one, as it was suspected there was a con siderable weight upon it. M'Quarry was behind the other two, who were standing beneath the place where the prop was being taken out, and the former had a rope at tached to the prop, which he was steadying for the others, when, without tho slightest warning, an enormous mass of stone fell and buried both Thompson and Scott. M'Quarry states that the msn of air struck him with such force as to send him reeling back. He had just time to see two hands, as if thrust upward above the fallen mass, when, another fall occurred, this time obliterating the indications of where the unfortunate men were. M'Quarry walked about the drive where he had thought his mates were, but.seeing nothing of them he hurried to the surface. The re lief party commenced their search for the bodies at a little after 11 o'clock a.m., and byl about half-past 3 o'clock they found them. On the bodies being sent to the sur face that of Thompson was terribly mutilated, his head being nearly severed from his hody. The body of Scott when found was discovered lying with his back and shoulders on a large boulder, and under a mass ot solid clay, computed to be about 20 tons in weight. The miners say the mass of earth which fell was 40 feet by 30 feet and 5 feet thick.. Mrs Scott remained at the mouth of the shaft while the men were trying to reach the body of her husband, and her grief was pitiable to wit ness

FROZEN MEAT.

The' London correspondent of the •'Argus" sfetesthat the Lusitania arrived in dock on June 9, and, on inquiry on board next morning, he found the shipment of frozen1 provisions had not turned out _as well as could have been wished. The milk was the chief failure; it went bad alto aether after the vessel had been out some four days. The captain and steward believe, however, that, if the milk were frozen in. blocks before being placed on board, it would keep well. The fruit, fish ■■poultry, and game, on the other hand, all kept splendidly, and up to the last were as good as when placed on board. The ash on the arrival of t># ship m dock looked admirable, although of course, frozen so hard and stiff that they could be snapped in half fllike a piece of glass. The meat on thisvoyage cannot be regarded as a success, The steward accounts for the failure from the fact that it was placed.on board whilst hot, so that it tookseveral days to get it thoroughly hard, whilst the con stant opening of the chamber during th hottest part of Jjhe yoyagebad a wnhet damaging effect ,upon it. As it wbb, it ,did Stco^e absolutely tainted, but lawe portions of the outside of each carcase had tobecut away,, ... „,.,..;, j : "-THE SALVATION AR»Y. 'A procession of persons, who designate themselves the •• Sajvation Army," has been

in the habit of parading the streets of ' Adelaide on Sunday evening, and when marching down King William-street, headed by the Rev. J. A. Dowie, it was stopped by' the police, on the ground that it was creating a disturbance. This morning Mr Dowie complained to the Police Magistrate of the interference to which the procession had been subjected, without notice. Mr Beddome said there was nothing to prevent Mr Dowie laying the matter before the Chief Secretary. It seems that the Acting-Corn-. missioner last week told the "Captain" that the procession must be discontinued, as many complaints, had been made to the police as to the annoyance caused by the procession. The police authorities intend to prosecute in the matter. WESLEYAN MISSIONS. A public meeting in connection with the Australian Wesleyan Missionary Society was held in the Glebe Koad church. Re pert : The income of the society for last year amounted to between £12,000 and £13,000. The Rev. George Brown spoke of his experience at the recently eatablished missions at New Britain and New Ireland, where five years and a half ago the people were naked savages and cannibals, their language has been reduced to form, many have been taught to read and write it, and have in their hands a lesson book, twelve or fourteen hymns, the Lord's Prayer, and a short Scripture history; and a translation of one of the Gospels into the language of the people is far advanced. They have built twenty places of worship, one of which is capable of holding 200 persons, 59 adults have been admitted to baptism after a probation of two years, and six of these are able to preach the Gospel to their fellows. The mission will no doubt tax their energies tor years, but of the ultimate success of their labour there can be no pos- Bible doubt. A native of Duke of York Island addressed a few words, translated by Mr Brown, to the meeting.

HOW WE HELP TO DEVELOP OUB OWN BESOURCES.

" The front of the new Savings Bank is t be of Hobart T*mnstone,"—Vide report.o (To the Editor.)

Sir.—l quite agree with your correspon dent, "R.M.,"in last evening's paper that the Savings Bank trustees might well have risked encouraging New Zealand building atone, if not the stone in this province. This is a purely local institution. The money made and accumulated is mainly due to the savings of the poorer classes of the community, and trustees could very well have afforded to tako a little more time, and have had if necessary, the various local building stones thoroughly tested, although I believe the Baglan and Mangapai stones have been already used in prominent posi tions for years. At least I know of my own knowledge that it is so with the latter named stone. There are one or two gravestones made from this stone in the burial ground which looks just the same as they did when put up, after an exposure of twelve years. The present bank has not been many years built, and the accommodation, if not ample, is at least not partienlarly cramped ; more time could have been taken and local industries, probably, thereby promoted and fostered.
