as far as appearances are concerned, and with the class of settlers in question, they are not often deceptive) as any person iv the provincial district of Auckland, and can there fully coroborate what you said in your article relative to the homesteads of the settlers in the country, and when I attend the salts held at Pupakura, lrury, Pukekohc, Waiuku, Pokcno, and other places, I notice the evidences of comfort everywhere apparent among the settleis, and iv the course of conversation with a yreat majority of them I have concluded that whilst the speculators iv the country have sometimes amassed sudden wealth, and more frequently sudden adversity, the boua lido settler ia, by plodding industry and by the exercise of indomitablo energy, securing a certainty, and in comparison that the settlers' position is incomparable, the safest, and the best And it is only a few weeks ago that one of the latter, who had nothing when he came here, told me that he never retired to bed at night without lirst thanking God that he ever came to New Zealand. Surely the testimony of this man ia a thousand timp.ii more weighty than Mr Lathropc'g, and I feel that ho only ex pressed what is the happy experience of thousands of others belonging to his class.

Of course everybody kuows how heavily the settlers are weighted in the race of pro gress at this particular time, and that making much money is out of the question, Uut during the lato crisis how many of them failed, and whilst men who aspire to greatness and hold a high social position have boon charged by the farmers with straight repudiation after buying their produco at a fixed price, the settlers, as a community, have been the essence of honour, examples of industry, and practical exponents ot the great advau tages of small bonft fide settlements. 1 believe, sir, that your article will have taught Mr Lathrope a lessoa which will have a salutary effect upon him, and if I could add to the infliction, it is rendered unnecessary, so he can be dismissed from theso pages, for after nil, sir, " a man's enemies are thoso of his own household," and .Now Zealand detractors aic really among ■ her own legislators. You ■will not supposo for one moment that tho writings of. any disappointed immigrant can, even in degree, have aoy thiug like so damaging an effect upon the credit of the colony as the utterances mado by a repre»enta»ive in his official capacity, when he talks about tho colony having to repudiate Its liabilities. It has often been a source of astonishment to me that both sides of the House did uotrise and disclaim any connection with such a statement, as ■well as wiih the man who uttered it; but £ls the Government wero prepared to accept anything that could be made derogatory to their piedecessors, any very emphatic protest was not expected from that quarter. It really time for this sort of thing to be denounced with "no uncertain sound," from one end of the colony to the other ; but had it not recently been repeated in another phrase by one of the " notorious four," the matter would not have been introduced here by me. One of them, however, was recently heard to say that ho was one of the " faw'1 which Bayed the country, and said it ■with us much apparent sincerity as though he believed it himself. He did not condescend to state what danger tho country had been in, neither did he appear to realise the fact that ii it had sunk so low, and could only have been saved by the means which he used, that it was really not worth saving. People would forget and forgive a good deal if political wrong-doing was not backed up by such humiliating nonsense,—l am, &&, F. LAWRY. Epsom, April 11th, 1881.

SUPREME COURT.-This day.

Criminal Sittings.

(Before His Honor Mi Justice Richmond,

The Te Aroha Murder

The Court opened at 10 a.m. John Procrolli, a Russian, of avorage size, and with regular and well-marked features, was arraigned upou an indictment charging him with the wilful murder at Te Aroha, on February 10th, 1881, of Ilemioua Hiia, a male aborigiual. Tho Crown Prosecutor (Mr Brookdeld) was assisted by Mr Theo. Cooper, while Mr G. N. Brasscy appeared for the defence.

Mr Mark Nestoorkoff, a seaman, hailing from Odessa, and therefore a fellow-towns man of the prisoner, having been sworn iv

as interpreter, the latter, through him, pleaded " not guilty." The following jurors were empanelled to try the case :—Jolia McOonnell, Lawrence Tattersall, Edward Bowers Holtaine, Thos, Hfirkiss, James Harvey, John Cornish, James liogan, William Smith, Isaac Smith, .Richard Lyna?, Frank B. Macindoe, Kobt. McDonald, Mr Harkiss was chosen fore man. William Brighton and

Meatyard were challenged by the defence, ami Hugh Kirk, Geo. Loveroek, Levi Coup land, and Thos. Garnaud, by the prosecu tion.

Tho Crown Prosecutor, in proceeding to open the case, said : Gentlemen of the jury,—lt is with a feeling of very deep responsibility that 1 rise to open i:p this case. Tho duty which devolves upou my learned friend Mr Cooper and myself is not to endeavour by every possible means to gain a verdict of "guilty" against the prisoner, but to steer our course so carefully in adduciut; evidence, and in conducting the case generally, that while on the one hand, our duty to the Crown requres us to see that no salient point shall Jbq left immcntioucd, our duty to the public demands that wo shall not strain anything to the prisoner's disadvantage. Our rosponsibility,t,'entlomeu,as I have said is a great one, but that which is cast upou you is still greater, seciug that upon your verdict will depend, iv all probability, tho life of the prisoner. it will be your duty to carefully weitjh tlio evidence brought be fore you, for the case is a very lengthy and entirely circumstantial one. You will at tentively listen to all that is said on oath, and gravely consider and sift it, so that if you find the man guilty you will, in after lite, have no cause to regret it. If, on the other hand, you should liud any reasonable or substantial doubt in the evidence you will interpret it iv tho prisoner's favour, ami, if necessary, reduce the crime to that of manslaughter, or if you can perceive a Haw in the evidence you will acquit him alto gether. You must therefore si weigh the evidence—so sift it-that you may be enabled to say in future lifo with a clear conscience that you did your duty fairly between Crown and accused; and that justice was performed. The prisoner is charged'with the highest crime in our law, the punishment for which is nothing short of death. The whole of the evidence, I may repeat, is circumstantial. It has been well said that circumstances cannot lie, neither can they; but wrong deduc tions may Jbo drawn from these circum staucea, and it will bo for you to con sider whether the different circunmtauces do not bo fall—link by link-as to form a complete chain of evidence leading in one direction or another. If one link should prove to be missing you aro bound to give the prieouer the benelit of the doubt which it occasions; but if, on the contrary, the chain is shewn to be complete you will, whatever your feelings, do your duty by leturning a verdict in accordance with the evidence. The trial will be a necessarily protracted one from the number of witnesses who are to be examined - 2G I believe—it will most likely extend over two or three days, but the facts them selves are very short. The lirst thing that we shall have to prove to you ia that a murder was committed, and, geutlcmeu, there will be no ditliculty about that. On the morning of the 11th February the dead body of the native named in the indictment was found in a place which will be indicated to you by-and-bye | — a place situated a short distaucc from the township of To Aroha on the Waihou river. The learned gentleman then went on with great minute ness to explain the evidence which he had to offer.

After the learned gentleman had com pleted his opening speech, Mr Thos. Pudan, who had interpreted in the lower Court, was also sworn iv as inter preter, so aa to secure as much accuracy as possible. Thomas Goodman Sands, licensed sur veyor at To Aroha deposed thnt be heard of the murder ou the 11th February, ami shortly aftenvurds recciv«d instructions to prepare a plan of the locality which he did. (Plan produced and exhibited.) The wit ness was examined and cross examined at some length with reforence to the lopo» ---raphy of the distiict. His Honor characterised both examination in-chief and cross-examination as fur too long. Sergt. Mulvillc deposed that he was aU tioned at Te Aroha on the IKb. February. A little before 8 o'clock on the morning of that day he received certain information which, caused him to set out along the Paeroa road to a spot 500 or 600 yards from O'Halloran's hotel, where he found the dead body of a Maori. The body was lying on its back, tho head slightly inclined to the left, the left arm lying on the ground and the right arm across thq chest, the left leg stictched out nnd the right leg at tho knee inclined across tha other leg. The body was on tho river side of the road, four or five yards from a Maori track, and the feet towards the river, It was that of a Maori man, and the thro»t was cut from ear to ear, the iiesh being severed to the bone. There was a pool of blood under the head and another pool about two feet to the left of the corpse. There was ft mark on the right forehead and a contusion over tne sight eye, as well as some deep scratches on the chest. Ho noticed no other marks. Tho body was dressed in trousers, boots, shirt, and vest. A part of the sleeve of the shirt was torn off from the shoulder and wrapped around the fingers of the right hand. It was saturated with blood. The right band trousers pocket|was turned inside out, and there was nothing iv the left hand pocket A pieco of greenstono and a pipe stem (produced) were picked up in his presence on the right of the body, and handed to him. He himself found in the vent pockets a knife, a pipe, a penny, and a piece of tobacco. A stone and a pocket handkerchief (produced) were also picked up close to the body. There was]blood on both articles. A coat and a hat were likewise found at the samo place, the hat being oa the coat. There wai no blood upon them. The ground was level and covered with short fern at the Bpot where the body waß discovered. He had the body removed, while ho himself pro ceeded to a Maori settlement, some dis tance off, to make inquiries. On returning to the police camp be found the prisoner in custody and at once charged him with the murder. He denied it and said that he had been drunk on tho previous night. His face bore bruises on the right cheekbone and forehead, his right hand was > covered by fresh scratches, and his eye was slightly blackened, sa if it had been recently injured. The body of the murdered muu was cold and life appeared to have been ex tinct for nearly the whole night. The clothes were dirty, the trousers, rest, and ehirt bore traces of a struggle, and to did the ground, which was much trampled on. It was not a case of suicide, that was almost impossible. He did not recognise the body, but he was in formed that it was that of a native whom he had seen in the township on the pre vious night mounted on horseback. Con stable Cleary and the prisoner were then talking with the native. The time was nine o'clock. Sometime prior to_ that he had had occasion to order the prisoner to leave the police camp, where he had come, in order to bail out a man named bruall man After the arrest he asked the pri soner what had happened to his face when the latter replied that he had been fighting during the nieht, and in answer to other questions, that he had been drunk, and therefore did not know where he bad been. He denied that he had heen washing his clothes, acknowledged that those brought to the camp were his, and that they had been wet by tho dew. His Honor remarked that it was a grossly improper thing for police officers to ask a prisoner questions ot such a character. The witness said that he had not much experience in such matters. His Honor went on to observe that even had the prisoner been previously cautioned the interrogations were of a character quite beyond the province of a police officer to PUCross-examined by Mr Brassey :-The sinews of the murdered man's windpipe were severed. The scratches on the backs of the hands might have been sores, but at anyrate they were fresh ones. There were some old sores as well upon his hands. (Left sitting.)

L»iqh White, Auditors. Auckland, Bth April 1881. Usfore moving the adoption of the report, the Chairman stated that he had received a telegram from Mr Howard, stating his in ability to be present. This was only the half-yearly meeting, and consequently his remarks would be brief. He was glad that I they were able to meet the share -1 holders with a balance-sheet even fo favourable as the one just read. They would see that the total amount of losses had exceeded £32,000, but he might state tliat this amount covered a total of 267 losses, 130 beius; fire, and 37 marine. This would show that they were not running amuck, but they were taking a large [num ber of small Hues instead of doing large

businesses. By this meaDS their operations were much more widely extended that they would be under the other system. The re insurances had been the same as last half year, and he believed that they were getting good exchanges. Owiug to the receipts, it would be scon that during tlio half-year just closed they had received £4,630 in excess of the amount for the corresponding half of the previous year. To Ins mind this increase was very remarkable. It was not simply an increase of business to the extent of £4,630, but really of about £10,000; because, as the shareholders were aware, premiums had decreased to such an extent that £10,000 might fairly be taken to illustrate the increase in tho business of the company. The balance-sheet showed conclusively that the company was progressive, and not at a standstill or retrogressive. When an insur ance company came to a standstill it was time for it to close altogether. Their busi ness was steadily increasing. It had ox tended to Australia, and he hoped it would also oxteud to many other parts of the world. The nett profits for underwriting were £3,478, and considering the sharp competition and low rates ruling, he thought they should be thankful that they were in as good a position as the balauco beet showed them to be. The unpaid losses, it would be seen, wcro small, and he might add that the amount included all claims as nearly as possible to the pre sent time. During the last half-year, Mr Johnston had visited nearly all the principal ngents in New Zealand and Australia with tho object of becoming personally acquainted with the agents. His report was highly favourable to them, the agents being nil men of honourable character aud high-standing. 'J his was very important to the Company. It was now proposed that Mr Jobwttouo should pay a visit to San Francisco in order to investigate the business there. He was glad to say that tho business at that placo hud been v prolitablo ouo during the last half-year. In conclusion, Mr Daldy said tho property of the Company was increasing in valuo, aa indeed, was all property, and funds woro abundant. Ho moved the adoption of the report. Mr Ilughos seconded, 110 was glad to Beo that tho turning poiut had beou reached and that tho company was now either ablo to increase tho rcwervo fund or dividend. Considering tho striuj»oucy of insurance business, tho balance-shoot was a very sat isfactory one. Mr Tamo said it appeared to him that the expeases for the agent's commission, &c., were very large, more, in fact, than other companies w»ro called on to pay. The Chairman stated that tho expenses amounted to tweuty per cent, of tho gross receipti. Then they woro carrying on bnsiness in America where commissions were high. Ho bolieved their exponses were lower than othor compauies.

Th« report aud balance-sheet were then Mr Boonlman (the lato manager) thanked tho shareholpers for tho handsome manner in which they ihad spoken of him at the last meotiug and tho directors for the kind letter tney had sent. Ho explained that the state of his health had compelled his resig nation.

He hadxonteruplatod it for some timo, os Ihe Chairmau was aware, but tho orders of his medical ud»isers eveutußlly were pro omptory, aud ho had to Btop business at oucc. liouce his resignation, which might hare appeared sudden to many. Although no longer connected with the Company, he would alwrys tako an interest in its wel- Auditors.—On tho motion of Mr Edson, couded by Mr Hughes, Messrs White- and Batger were re-electod auditors on tho same terms as last year. Thanks.—Mr K. C. Burstow moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, directors, manager, ollicers, and agents. Tho balance sheet was tho best that had been pluced before them for sis half-years.

Mr Minotti seconded the motion. Mr JNaucarrow »poko in support of tit. shareholders in tho South wore perfectly satisfied with the management. The vote of thanks was then put and agreed to, Tho Chairman aud Manager rcspoudnd.

The Caairmau having announced that tho dividend would be payable tomorrow, the meeting separated.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.

AIiOUT ball-pas ten o'clock this morning, n patient of the Provincial Hospital named Alfred Koberts wsa walking into tho Auck laud Domain by the enlranco gato nearest the Hospital, whou he discovered the body of a man ljioj; a few ptioes from the path with Un face downwards. Hobcrts passed ou thinking tho man was asleep, but presently he thought it was a curious position for a man to be in, and he turned back ami touched the body, when ho saw a strange blueness about the ears, and, on making a turkher investigation, saw staim of blood, and feld convinced the tho man was dead. He immediately returned to the hospital, and communicated tho melancholy intelligence to John Bryce, the head-nurso, and sent a niesiage to the police. Mr Bryce having satisfied himself that the man had como to his end by foul moans, as a revolver was on the spot, identified deceased as Charles Wcgeleben, a tumor by trade, aud who had recently been under treatment iv the hospital; Constables Gordon and Walker having arriJcd, conveyed the body to tho hospital, when, upun medical examinatfon, a bullet wouud was discovered at tho base of the skull shewing pretty clearly that the intor tunate man had placed the revolver in his mouth, and thus committed a determined act of suicide. On searching the pockets of deceased, the sum of 33 and a note were found, so that Wegeleben was not in abso lute want of common necessaries. We learn that deceased, who is about 45 years of ago, is single as supposed, and has no relatives in New Zealand. He is a native of Germany, and reached Auck land from Sydney in October last. He had lived elevon months in San Francisco pre yiously. He was for some weeks iv the employment of Messrs Ireland Brothers but failing in health, he was admitted into the hospital. He lodged and boarded at Mr Gleeson's hotel. An inquest will be held to. morrow (Tuesday) probably at 2 o'clock, before Dr. Goldsbro'.

THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR, MONDAY, AFKIL 11,



By our advertising columns it will be seen that a very interesting ceremony is arranged to come off at the public meeting to be held to-morrow, Tuesday evening, in the Parnell Wesleyan Church, viz : The giving a public welcome to the Revs. Messrs Oliver and Isitt. the new ministers of the Grafton Road circuit. The annual Sunday' School tea-meet ing will be held in the school-room atis 30, and a large attendance is expected both then and at the public meeting after •wards in the church, when addiesses will be given by Eevs. Morley, Dewsbury Oliver, Isitt, and other friends.



Siraonsen's Koyal English and Italian Opera Company will give a grand sacred concert on Good Friday, full particulars of wbicb will be made public, and in which the whole strength of the company will be brought into requisition. The sacred concerts given by this talented company in various Australasian towns hive received high eulogtums from a large sectiOD of he press.



HTo the Editor: Sir,—Tho owner of the Jessie Logan, in reply to "Yacht-owner," begs to state that he is not the least afraid of losing the good name of his yacht (won by flukes and good luck—a lucky boat to get flukes at every regatta and race she competes in). The reason for his not enter ing her at tho Ponsonby Regatta is that, having arranged with his friends for a pleasure cruise, the Easter holidays were chosen as being most suitable to all con cerned. As the yacht has so often proved herself superior to all others, he has no doubt but that she would acquit herself as well if entered at Easter,
