SENDING THREATENING LETTERS.

CHARGES AGAINST PLUMMER,

The charge against Frederick Piummcr of sending a threatening letter to Mrs Ann Dobson was resumed this morning before Mr J. E. Macdonnld, Resident Magistrate. The Court was crowded as usual. Mr Sergeant-Major Pardy conducted tho prosecution. The case for the prosecution closed on Wednesday, and was then adjourned till to-day in order that prisoner might have an opportunity of recalling some of tho wit nesses. Edward Moore was called, and examined by the prisoner: The person told him to take the letters to Mrs Dobson, and pointed to Major Withers's house. Major Withers lived in a big house on tbe left hand side. The Major showed him where Mrs Dobson lived.

The prisoner said that he called the wit ness to show that such a mistake could not possibly have been made by him.

Miss Mary Dobson was next called. Sho remembered being in prisoner's com pany with one or two others, it was not going from Karangahapo Road down Upper Queen-street. She did not remem ber accompanying anyone in a song in the music book. Saw prisoner at Mr Solomon Hemus's once, Mr Solomon Hemus accom panied her home, and Mr and Mrs Charles Piummcr^ who were also there, remained, The prisoner said this would compel him to bring witnesses to prove that ho and Mrs Charles Piummcr did accom pany Miss Dobson home that evening. He wished to show that he knew the house, and could not make any mistake in it, the boy having raid that he directed him to Major Withers's, Examination by prisoner continued: Major Withers's house* faced the street, while their house had a large garden in front. Tho night on which she was at Mr Solomon Hemus's was about throe years ago.

To Mr Pardy : That was the only occa sion on which she ever saw the prisoner, and yet she recollected him. She did not know who ho was when sho aaw him there. Was not introduced to him, and only knew him as one of tbe party. Miss Annie Dobson, called and examined by prisoner, deposed that she bad a very intimate friend, who died about a year ago —Mr Fred, flemus. He often viaitcd their house.

Mr Pardy objected to the prisoner being allowed to harrow the feelings of friends by asking questions regarding a deceased gontleman, which could not affect the case.

His Worship thought that the questions might tend to show that prisoner was acquainted with tho situation of Mrs DoDson'a house.

Examination continued: If Mr Hcmus had gone up Upper Queen, street in pri soner's company in 1879, and pointed out their house, she could not say whether he would remember-it. Prisoner said he had been- in the company of the late Mr Frederick Hcmus on two occasions upon which he had gone into Mrs Dobaon's house. Mr Solomon Hemus was called by pri soner, but was not present. The boy Moore was re-called at the request of Mr Pardy, and he stated that he could not see Mrs Dobson's house from the point at which the man stopped him and gave him the letter. This closed the case, THE CHARGES OF BURGLARY.- BREAKING INTO MR HAZEL'S. Frederick Hummer was then charged that he did, on or about the 21st day of June, ISSI, feloniously break and enter the dwelling-house of Thomas Hazel, situated in Symonds-street, Auckland, and felon iously steal therefrom—one pair of boots, of the value of 18s; 10b in money, and one drawer, of the valuo of ss, tho goods and chattels of the said Thomas Hazel. Mr Pardy conducted the prosecution. A portion of the evidence in this case was taken on Wednesday. Mr Hazel was recalled and examined by Mr Pardy. He thought the boots (pro duced) had not been worn by the person for whom they had been made. They had been worn on a thinner foot. Those boots were made from the samo materials as Mr Hazel's. The leather was French calf. They made a good many pairs of boots from tbe same last, the chief (inference boing in the cut of the upper. The other boots which he had prey ously referred to were made from a different material. He was qnite certain that the boots (produced) were those he made for Mr Hazel. The boots were made on May 1 .th* He romem. bered the night of Sunday, June 26, when this place was broken into in a similar manner to Mr Hazel's—by a back window. Some of his property was taken, including about 30s worth ot florins. They were taken from the till in the shop. Three or four parcels of silver were tied up, the florins being wrapped up separately by themselves. ; Everything was taken, with the exception of a base coin and a few coppers. To prisoner: The boots were paid tor on , the 14th May, but they might have been made a day or tw"' earlier. He could not swear positively to the boots the other afternoon, but the material, measurement, and workmanship cu._bled him to identify them now. Prisoner said the boots were his pro- i perty, but witness never made them for him. David Horwitz, furniture-dealer, of Pitt street, was next called. He deposed that be knew the accused, who came to his shop : on Monday, the 27th of June last. He i came to make a purchase of some goods, and bought things to the extent of £112s 6d. He paid principally in florins and i coppers. Asked wituess if he would take ; ton shillings' worth of coppers, and he replied that he had not got rid of all '. the coppers that he received from him : on a ! former occasion. Witness offered to take five shillings-wortb, but could not say whether he took five shillings or five shillings and sixpence worth, The balance ; of £1 7s was paid, to the best of his know- ; ledge, in florins. There might have been an odd coin or two, but he was sure they ; were principally florins. When he was scooping the florins into the till, he re marked to himself, " What a lot of two shilling pieces." It was not usual to get so many. When prisoner was leaving the shop, witness said " Whore do you get all ' the coppers from; are you in the milk trade t" and he replied " Yes." The man : looked like one of the Dairy Company's employes whom he had seen paßsing the door. Was sure prisoner was the same man. , To Prisoner: Tho articles bought, were a washstand, dressing-table, and three chairs. Entered the sale in his book. He would swear that he did not charge 5s each for the chairs. He had them marked 4s Cd. Might have told prisoner that ho ought to get 5s for the chairs, because other people charged that price. He did not rnako any remark to prisoner about the silver. Prisoner agreed to take something else—a kerosene lamp which had been mended by him-but did not take it. He called for it on the following evening. Ho also took 3s in coppers, and the balance of the price of a table, in silver, from prisoner. Coppers were offered on 27th May and 27th June. Would swear positively that he took coppers from prisoner. Prisoner said if Mr Pardy had gono on , with the first case, as he had prayed for it, ' everything would have been explained ; away in connection with this case. i Mr Pardy said the prisoner had been j allowed unusual license, moro *ban was ] allowed to any other prisoner. Robert Walker, a lad residing in i Symonds-street, near to Mr Hazel s shop, i deposed that he heard of the shop referred i to boing broken into, the morning after the . offence was committed. Remembered find- j ing a monoy-till (produced) at the back of 1 St. Sepulchre's old church. It was down ( at tho bottom. Found the till some time after the burglary was reported. Took it home, and subsequently gave it to Mr Hazel. , , , ] To prisoner: Found the drawer on the Sunday morning on which the foundation stone of tne now Catholic Church was laid. Gave it to Mr Hazel a couple of weeks afterwards. William Stone Pardy, senior Sergeant in ( the Armed Constabulary, was the next l witness. He deposed that he arrested tho i prisoner on the morning of 23rd of Nov.m- i ber last in his house in Brown-street. < Found the smaller pair of boots (produced) < in prisoner's bedroom. When dressing, ( he put them on and wore them to the police , station. The other pair of boots identified ' as Mr Hazel's were in a back room. He . also found a dark lantern (produced), with ] candle inside, and an instrument called a, < tackhammer. Prisoner stated that he had ] purchased that in Karang-hnpo Road, t and had used it to tack on the blinds. ] Prisoner denied this. He had stated i nothing of the kind. ; Examination continued: Prisoner said > ho bought the hammer from Mr Lam- J bourne, Karangahapo Road. There was a I little mad on it now, but at tbe time he got it i

there there was a great deal more. It had evidently crumbled off, There was also some mud on the claws.

Prisoner said he could bring a do.en people to prove that the children in Brown street had been playing with it in the garden. To prisoner: Did not ask prisoner where he bought the blind-toilers and brackets. Prisoner said be told Mr Pardy that he bought the rollers at Lambourne's, and that he bought the tack-hammer from a shop in Symonds-street for 6d. Mr Pardy's memory was playing him fake. There wan a lantern there. Perhaps it would lighten their darkness. The witness denied that prisoner told him that he bought the tack-hammer in Symonds-street. Constable Strathern deposed that ho was present at the arrest of the prisoner in Brown-street on the morning of the 23rd ult. Bemcmbercd seeing the small boots (produccAWiu the bed-room. The other pair wcrtHp-o back kitchen. The dark > lantcrn'-lnf on a shelf in a back room. I Also saw the tack hummer there, Ml- I Pardy was examining the instrument, when : prisoner volunteered the statement that he I bought it at Lambourne's in Karangahape | Boad, to put the blinds up with. Prisoner, when charged, eaid he could satisfy the | Court where he got the boots from. He afterwards showed prisoner the boots which he was charged with stealing to give him an opportunity of showing where he got them. Witness said he would submenu anyone prisoner wished to call, and the latter replied, " Take them (the boots) away; I don't want any of your information." To Prisoner : Ho took tho largest pair of boots from the floor. Prisoner might have said they belonged to him, He had never attempted to disown them. Prisoner said ho bought tbe blinds from Mr Heape'a Symonds-street. Prisoner denied this. The blinds Game from McPherson's, in Karangahapc-road. If Mr Pardy would bring on the other case these things would all be cleared. Constable John Stanhope Bernard knew Brown-street, where tho prisoner had been residing. It was within bis beat. Had never known prisoner to be employed as a milkman. He knew all the milkmen living in that district. Constable Henry Clarke, stationed at Newton nearly two years, deposed that he knew all the milkmen in his district by Bight Ho had never seen the prisoner em ployed as a milkman. This closed tho case for the prosecution. The depositions were read over to the prisoner. Another Charge—Breaking Into Mr. Heath's. Frederick Plummer, the same prisoner, wai then eh rged with breaking and enter ing tho dwelling-house of Theophilus Butterworth Heath and committing a felony, at Auckland, on June 26. Mr Sergeant-Major Pardy opened the case for the prosecution, Thco. B. Heath deposed that he was a bootmaker in Symonds-Btrcet. He went to bed between 9 and 10o'clock on the night ol the 26th June, and got up about 6.30 a.m. next day. One of tbe windows at the back wns not fastened then, but ho could not say whether it was locked on the previous night, shortly before eight o'clock, he missed the money from tbe till. A number of florins and a half sovereign were amongst the coins in the drawer on the previous day. Did not miss any boots, but several pairs might have been taken without their absence being noticed by him. The boots (produced) were ordinary strong womens boots, but they were suiFiciently heavy for men's wear, He identified the boots as having been manufactured by him. He had no recollection of having sold the boots. Did not sell them to the ! accused. Remembered that his neigh bour's (Mr Hazel's) shop was entered on the • same night os his own. |

Messrs Hazell and Howitz, and Con stables Stratheam and Bernard were ex amined,

Mr Pardy said he wished to call another witness, but as he was not present, and ad journment would be desirable.

Adjourned till 10.30 a.m. tomorrow. The Court then rose.
