ferred to the little book entitled «' What Sir-Ceorge Groy had done fo_ the Working Classes." It should have read, " What Sir George Grey and his Friends had done," &c. He bad onljr been ablo to accomplish what he had doce through the aid and co operation of hia supporters and friends. He was but tho exponent of the power of the people behind him. The book' above re ferred to containeda number of blank pages, which might be usefully filled up a? an index to the real work whioh might here after bo published, (Cheers.) He advised them to fill up the blank pages in the work with every good thing they could think of, which he and his friends had done, and send it back to those who gave it to them. (Laughter and chcera.) Sir George con cluded his address amid enthusiastic ap plause. A motion of confidence in Sir George Grey as " the leader of the Liberal party ia the Parliament of this colony" was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. Sir George Grey was accompanied to the steamer by a number of residents, and again cheered.

THE RECENT BURGL ARIES.

CHARGES AGAINST FRED PLUM

MEli.

AT the Police Court thia morning, before Mr J. E. Macdonald, Resident Magistrate, Frederick Plununer was again brought up to answer to three charges of breaking and entering, and stealing property, and to t_>o charges of sending threatening letters to Dr, Philson and Mrs Dobson, of Auckland.

The Court was crowded with interested listeners.

Before the charge was read, the prisoner asked to be allowed to speak. He said the gaoler and Rev. Mr Hamer had been mis. leading him with reference to the adjourn ment. They told him that the casos had been remanded till next Mon day. He had been suffering from a cold, and had not paid tho attention to the case which was necessary, and which be would have devoted if he had thought the case was coming on to-day.

Mr Pardy said the priaoner had been allowed sufficient time. He had consented to the day of adjoumm.nt, and had given the names of the witnesses for the defence to tho police Witnesses for the prosecu tion and defence were all in attendance, and nothing would be gained by an ad journment.

His Worahip could not see that the prisoner would bo prejudiced by the hear ing of the case to-day, and he must declino to grant a remand.

Mr Pardy said there were live charges — two of sending threatening letters and three of burglary—against the prisoner. He would take the threatening letters charges first

The priaoner was then arraigned on a charge of sending a threatening letter to Dr Philson,

Mr Pardy reviewed the evidence, nnd then called tho first witness, Thomas Mocro Philson, medical practi tioner, residing in Grafton R «ad, and Sur geou te the Auckland Hospital. He recol lected having received a letter demanding money on the 10th October last. It came by post in the uaual way, The letter produced, and marked A, was the one he had received, It read as follows t—" Auck land, 9—lo-81. To Dr, Philson t Sir,— Either knowingly or through aheer neglect jrou completely blasted four years of my life. Had not a friend with means turned up, I should have boon in my grave lon» ago, or what is worse, a helpless lump of humanity. Now, sir, I have saved enough money to briug me from Australia, and enough to keep me for a time till I can have satisfaction and revenge, for not all the religion in the world will I allow to per suade rue to forget and forgive such a wrong as mino has been.. "Were I to call upon you, and ask for some just return, of course, you would excuse yourself in some gentlemantly way, and the law will not help me. For years, I have been looking forward to this day. But I will waste no more words. Here are my terms :—I was saving £1 per week, and that would have continued—four years at £1 per weak ia £298—£30 for travelling expenses and loss of tittit make it £238. I can put no price upon pain and suffering, but if I euuld make you antler what I have suffered, I could find the heart to do it. Yon were quite prepared to ace me in my grave, and if yon can be a party to murder, so can I—Listen! You will leave your house on horseback to-morrow (Monday) night at 9 o'clock (town time) with £238 in gold npon you, and this letter en closed with it. Ride at a steady walking pace up the Gr&ftou Road, down Kyber Pass Road, throngh Newhiarket, and on towards the Harp ot Erin till called upon to stop end deliver the money. You will insert a final answer to this letter in to-morrow evening's Star in this form:—'Personal. Yes,—Aß.C That ia if you are prepared to meet my demands. If not, ecud this ad vertisement — * Personal. No. — A.B.C.' If the last advertisement is sent, or if neither appears, I will try and teach you to believe that I am in earnest, by sending one of your family to his or her grave, and then write to you again. I have come here for money ur life, and one or both I will have.—Revenge." He knew the prisoner, and had treated him about 10 years ago in the stockade. From the time be was transferred to Dunedin, about ten years ago, he bad not since seen him. Neither the prisoner nor any other perßon could have the slightest ground for making the demand contained in that letter. He did not leave his houae at 9 o'clock at night and proceed in a certain direction through Newmarket aa ordered in that letter. luateudof doing bo, he handed the letter over to Inspector Thomson. At the request of the polfce, he caused an advertisement to be inserted in the STAR on the following day—llth. It was ss follows :—" Personal.—Did not get letter in time yesterday. Yea. —A.8.0." He then left the matter entirely in the hands of the police. On tbe morning of the 12th, he found another letter lying on the table of his office at the Hospital. That letter was the one produced. It was aa follows: "Auckland, 11-10-1881, 11 p.m. To Dr. Philson. Sir,—l have not come over twelve hundred miles to be trifled with, but I have come to carry out a pur pose—'to do or die.' My letter was answered in to-night's Star, but the direc tions were not kept; that is, up to 10.30 p.m. you bad not passed through NeAV market. lam prepared, however, to take this view of the case, namely, tbat as you were too late for Monday's Star, you thought it better to wait till you heard from me again. ±iere is all I have to soy npon the 'subject. Let the money' he ready—with my letters enclosed—not later than noon to-morrow (Wednesday). Make it into a small, ordinary-looking paicel. Leave it at your private resi dence, with directions that it is to be handed over at once when called for. To prevent any mistake, I will send a note thus worded :—' Please give bearer the A.B.C. parcel.' The envelope shall be addressed 'Dr. or Mrs Philson.' Mark ! If the money is not ready, and any foul play naed to the boy- who will call, your children shall pay their penalty with their Jives,— Revenge.— P.S.—To make doubly certain that my words shall reach you, I have posted a copy of this also." This letter was marked B. The duplicate referred to alao reached him. James Nash, Hospital messenger, brought the two letters that came through the Post offlce. Mrs Philson received and gave him the note, stating, "Please give the A.B.C. parcel." He had a family residing with him in Grafton Road. There were two daughters and a grand-daughter. Mrs Phil son and the other female portion of the family were greatly alarmed. Through these letters they had to send the grand daughter back to her mother. Prisoner objected to this as foreign to th c case. . . . To the prisoner: When he rccoived thoaa letters, his suspicions did rest upon some particular person or persons. Ho did not mean that they rested on any individual. James Nash deposed that he was Hospital messenger, and in accordance with his duties, lie brought the letters put in from the Post-office. Peter Peterson, night nurse ot the Hospi tal, deposed that ihe held that position on the night of Uth October last. About two o'clock in the morning a letter was brought to the Hospital. He had not heard of any threatening letter having been previously received by Dr. Philson, so he left the note on the table in the consultation room. The man who brought it had on a Jong dark overcoat, well buttoned up. Bis hat was slouched over his eyes, He came to the the Seafield View side of the Hospital. To the prisoner: To the I est of his knowledge, he had not seen the person who brought the letter either before or since. , ~ Samuel Bias, Chief Postmaster for the provincial district of Auckland, examined the letters " A. and C." and deposed that they had both been posted at Newton. In tho usnal course, they would be brought to the chief post offlce, and the date mark showed that this had been done, In ac-

Co. dance .with an arrangement made with Dr Philson, the Hospital meisonger called -for his correspondence at the chief post office every day, John Hawkes, a Email boy, who under; stood the nature of an oath, deposed that he lived with his father and mother in Hew In t>ith Road. . He attended a school iv tho Grafton Road, 'Remembered a man send ing him with a letter to Dh PhilsOn'n, but did not khbw how long ago it was. The man met him at the cornel- of St. Sepul chre's Church, Kyber Pass K«adi ]tte offered him sixpence Co tttke the letterj and i witness consented to the! proposition. Tho man gave him th 6 letter, and told Hiihto Ha quick, and to bring back a parcel. He took ! the letter, as requested, and the man went over to the trees on the other side of Kyber Pass Road,' He gttve the letter to a girl at Dr. Philson's, and she gave him a parcel, which he carried back to the man who hrid given him the letteh He Was behind tlio trees, but ho walked down the road to the milliner's shop, whefb hb received the parcel* Tbo man then got .through the encc, but lie didn't give the BixpchCC which ho had promised him for executing the errand. Witness lost sight of him after he went through the fence-. Tin) next person he saw was Con stable Jones. He pointed out to hith tho direction in which the nlan had gone, and went With him-, He alao saw aoiile girls on the hill. Tho prisoner in the dock was the man who gave him the letter. He saw him nt tho police station amongst other men, but did not know any of them. To prisoners He came to the police station with another boy aiid Constable Jones, Ho aaw prisoner there. Constable Jones told him before he weht into the yard that there was a man there dressed in such-and-such clothes. He was to look at him—at the man nearest the fence. Prisoner: Ah-, I thought so. To the Bench : Constable Jones told him before lie weut into the yard to look at the man in light clothes standing against.the fence and see if it was not he who gave him the letter. To prisonel-: He had seen the man before that. He came to the Police Station again. The priaonor submitted that the child's evidence waa valueless. He had been BtufTed,na it were. I Witncaa, to prisoner: ho would not be able to remember on a future occasion what be bad said to-day. To tho Bench : Prisoner was walking up and down the yard when he west into the station yard, Mr Jones asked him if the man nearest the fen .c was the one who gave hira the letter, and lie said he waa not auro. Ho did not know whether the pri soner in the dock waa the man who gave him the letter, aid he did not know whether he was the man whom he aaw dressed in light clothes and walking in the •station yard.

Mr Pardy said Constable Jones would deny the statements maae by the boy, Ho had himself given instructions that no ad vantage was to be taken of the prisoner. The boy had told him thia morning that he Would hot be able to identify tbe man.

At this stage, all witnesses on cither aide were ordered out of Court at the request of the prisoner.' Ethel Philson, daughter of Dr. Philaon, and residing on the Grafton Road, remem bered a little boy bringing a letter to thoir houso on the 112 th October last, Sbo took tho letter, and gave it to her mother, who opened it in her presance. The letter pro duced and marked H was the one referred to, It was addressed "Dr or Mrs PhilsoD." The boy in Court was the one who brought tbe letter. She did cot ace her mother qbe him anything. To prisoner: The letter was received on Wednesday, 12th October. Matilda Willmott Philaon, Wife of Dr. Philson, residing in Grafton Road, re membered receiving a letter. from har daughter Ethel on October 11th. Her daughter told her that the boy who brought it was at the door. She wCnt and spoke to the boy. (The letter marked E was pro duced and identified.) Give the boy a parcel. Constable Jones was in the homo at tlie tilne tbe boy came. Sbo gtve the latter'to Dr Philson wbon ho came in. (The boy who brought the lotter was iden tified by tho witness. She gave a parcel she had made up to the boyi because the note ho brought asked for ono to bo given.

The Court adjourned for lunch at 1 p.m., and resumed at 1.45 p.m.

Martha i_.cr»haw, domestic servant at Dr. Philson's, deposed that ahe reinom bcrcd a letter being brought to the houro on the 12th of October by a boy. She saw the letter and identified that produced and marked E. as being the same. She did not ccc Constable Jones there when the letter waa brought, nor did sho ace the boy. She bad just returned from a message, when she aaw the letter ljiagon the table, and took it up and read it. She had her auepicions, and went round to the back. Saw a man standing behind tho fence at the top of the road. Immediately afterwards ho oommencod running across the paddock towards her. Ho crossed the gully, and wont in tho direc tion of Mr Glover's. On his way up the hill he kept turning round and looking behind him. He attempted to jump over the fence, but could not do to, and then he passed behind some pine trees, where she lost sight cf him. She met Jones, and told him in which direction the man had gone. The boy Hawkes was with him. Saw several men at the Police Station, nnd iden tified him as tbe man she saw croising the gully. The prisoner in the dock was the man. Sne was positive of that. To the priioner: She did not make it a practice to read letters addressed to her master or mistress. She read tbat note, becausfc ahe knew a boy was coming for a parcel. Kate Kelly, domestic servant, employed at Mr Glover's, Symonds-street, knew Dr Philson's house. It was at one side of the gully, and Mr Glover's was at the other, ln the month of October last—a Wednes day—she saw a man trying to come through the gate towards the gully. He could not open it, and he came through the vegetable garden gate, and from there he came through another gate into the yard at the back of the house. He passed down by the side of the house into Symonds-street. Witness was standing at tbe kitchen door. The gate he first tried led into the yard, and not being able to open that ho made a detour through the vegetable garden. About five minutes after the man bad gone, CoiistableJones, accompanied by Hawkes) passed through the same way. Two doys later, she saw the same man Bitting down in the Cemetery. She also saw him since at the Police Station, and recognised him as the mau who went through the yard. There were others with him there. The man in the dock was the same that she saw in the yard. Constable Jones deposed that he went to Dr, Philson's on October 12th in connection with a threatening letter that had been sent there. He saw Johnny Hawkes going awny.from the doctor's house about aquarter past tour o'clock, with a brown paper parcel in his hand. He went out. of the back entrance, and aaw the boy running as fast as he could up Graf ton road. He ran after him, and when ho got on to Grafton-road the boy waa about 150 yards ahead of him. He (the boy) turned tho corner of a milliner's shop, and witness followed. He did not see any man about, The boy had the parcel in his right hand when he went round tho corner but when witness caught up to him it was gone. Hawkes aaid he had given it to a man who had got through the fence and run away. The fence was a post and rail one, and there was room for a person to get under it and run away. He saw Philson's servant girl, and she told him that the man had gone through Glover's yard. He did net ccc the man. When the boy c me to the station to identify the prisoner, ho took him into the jard where the men were. Before he took them in, ho had no conversation with tho boy about identification. After he had left the station and was going home, he said he could not idenfc fy anyone there. He described them one by one", and then mentioned the man in the light suit who was next the wall. He did not have any conversation with him about identification before he went into the yard. , . Constab'e Jones, in cross-examination, spoke of the boy Hawkes as being half an idiot, and he was taken sharply to t_ak by the prisoner for his bad taste in making such an assertion, The priaoner was applauded by the spec tators, but the noise Was quickly suppressed. The case was still proceeding when we went to press. Messrs Schmidt, litho grapher, and F. Battley, were to have been called ai experts in reference to the writing in the threatening letters. Mr Pardy said in his opening remarks that they were prepared to state that the hand writing exectly corresponded with that in a letter sent by Plummer to Mr Wilkam s, tailor, offering to purchase bia house. (Left sitting.)

THE ELECTIONS TO-DAY

ThS geileral elections td-da£ have operated to the altnbß. tStdl 8 hst>eh sjioii bf buSi-jess. Flom an early hoiir this morning; the foot paths hay., Men occ'upiSd with ptiople either passing hastily by, or standing in g_out-3 Canvassing ti^p. cHahcps pf thoir reap(JctiVe favdurites, . White dcs; pite the vague, terrors of the Cor rupt Practices Prevention Act, hiitny Of the traditional elcttloneei-ing agencies have heeh systematically .carried on, Thus vehicles have been dSsliin* ftbouf^ ill jsli directions conveying the "free and inde pendent " voters to and from the poll, the usual amount of ''shepherding" and "buttonholing" has gone on, and the Utmost solicitude bits been displaced on all sides tb secure ths good opinion of woverers add doitbtful men generally. This only thing that one misses from the time honoured features of the contested olec tlott is' " the iefroshnient department," Wherein the exhiiiistcd Bujjpbhfcr was wont to regale himself at intervals, increasing in frequency as the fight pro gressed. That has been conspicuous to day only by its absence and even the hotels do not appear to have been so extensively patronised as of Jfore. Everyone, though, whoiii One met, appeared td be seized with the prevailing excitement, and to be actively engaged in prdmoling the cause of some candidate, while electdrs return ing from . the poll were beset with ea^or questioners of their opinioas who thui. sought to ascßrtaiu for whom the votes had been cast. Good humour, howavor, seemed to prevail everywhere} badinage was freely indulged ill, electioneering aquibs were widely Circulated and pleasantly taken, and in many electorates the candidates did hot scruple to fraternise together. We subjoin some particularised remarks on the various contests: — CITY EAST.

The real interest and excitement over the elections saomed to hflve fouud a focus in High-street where the polling place for City East, was aUnated ond where Sir George Grey's and-BSlr Clark's Committee had their head quartces in close proximity to one another, The crowded state ot tbe thoraughfate, tho Constant arrival and de parture of. cabs and carriages, and the hurrying bitlier nnd thither of touts and agents, reminded one Vividly of the old Superintendcocy contests which used to tako place in the same locality. Sir Geo. Grey's committee room was an ingeniously improvised retreat a little south of the Auckland Hotel passage, with a canvass roof supported on some ancient shafts of timber. Mr J. M. Syera presided generally, but Mr John King actively and directly superintended all the operations. Mr Clark's committee room waa a few yarda fuither along at the rear of Messrs Portfr and Co,'s ironmongery store, and here Mr Brame and Mr W. Coleman held sway over a legion of attendant clerks and ware housemen from the candidate'a own catab lishraent. Private carriages from Remuera were also observed to have been preaaed into requisition. Indeed, each party strained every nerve, used every effort, and rc»orted to every means short of those whose illegitimacy could not be doubted in order to gain support. A careful check was kept throughout the day of the number of votes registered, and from either Committee &n approximate statement of the voting emld at any time have been procured, though it would have been diffi cult for anyone to reconcile them both, parties invariay y agreeing to hava a clear, steadily increaaing majority. At 1 o'clock, for Instance, it waa stated 452 votes had boen recordedj and that of these 254 had berth given In favour of Sir G. Grey, and 1 5.2 for Mr Clark ; but the latter gentleman's committee maintained^ that they had already secured a proportion ot three-fifths bt the vote.. At 2.30 it wns repotted that 535 votes had beon registered, and that Sir George Grey's share of them was 343, There was unity of opinion, however, upon one point—tbe cloaeuesa of tbe contest. CITY WEST.

Coneidering the Importance of this con stituency and kuown energy of tho throe candidates, Mo»srs Dargavill'9 and Fleming and Dr. Wallis, very little intertat appeared to be taken in the election ; Indeed, at half paat two this afternoon we were assured that not more than 800 votes had been recordo .. Tbe polling booth was St. James's Hall, whare Mr Wilcocks, the Returning Officer, supported by his poll clerks and the scrutineers of the aeveral candidates, aatin state. Notwithstanding the stringency of the clauses of the Corrupt Practiaes Pre vention Act, hansoms and caba occa sionally drew np at the door of the hall, : though thepublic-honaea in tbe vicinity had j an exceedingly Othello'a-occupation's gone ] look about them. Two or three bonifaces ] were a companent part of the little knot in the footpath, and one ef them made no bonoa of bewailing tbe "good old times" vi election beer and placarded 'buaaoa. The three candidates were in the vicinity of the polling booth dUriug the greater portion of the day, aad the utmost harmony appeared to prevail amongat j thorn. They were frequently engaged in conversation, which was interrupted every now and then by the neoeaaity ot shaking hands wiuh and enquiring after tbe health of a newly arrived elector. When lunch time arrived Mr Dargaville drove off, and the doctor being unable to persuade Mr Fleming "to go and do like wibo," the twain remained at- their post. As the afternoon advanced, when the general impression appeared to bo that the fight lay between Dargaville and Fleming, the dector, who was seated on the stone foundation of the railing, appeared very disconsolate. The poll closes at six, and it will probably bo after seven before the result ia known. CITY NORTH.

The polling place for this constituency ia the Temperance Hall, Albert-street, the porch of which is utilised by Mr Peacock as committeeroom. Mr Rees's committee room is situated on the opposite side of the road, Mr Kawlingson officiated as returning officer and appeared to be kept pretty busy fr dm early morn to dewy eve. The committees of both candidates worked hard, though Mr Rees's absence appeared to have a slightly despiritiog effect on his supporters. Mr Garrad having resigned in favour of Mr Rees was in attendance, his gallant breast being adorned with the inevitable medals. The attempts to draw the old man out created boundless amuaement. He scornfully denied the statement that he had been bought off for a "fiver," stating that he had resigned simply because he didn't believe in being between two firea. Some sensation was created by the i»sue of a clever cartoon representing Mr Rees, his head covered with an extinguished, snear ing to see justice done to the Maories, another portion of the picture showing the Grcyite candidate arranging with Hone Nahe, about that £300. About 2in the afternoon one gentleman amused a knot of hearers with a fustian tirade agasnst a cer tain big monetary institution. At the time of our visit to the polling booth the suppor ters of both candidates appeared very con fident, though tho general impression was that Mr Rees will have a majority. PARNELL. Less interest appeared to he taken in tho Parnell election than in tho other city and suburban constiutencies. The polling booths wore Parnell Hall, Newmarket Hall, and St. Sepulchre's School-room. At Parnell Hall, the principal polling-pla3s Mr Ledge, the Returning Officer for the district, was atationed. Both parties dispensed with committee rooma, and neither of the candidates were visible. The general impression appeared to be that though Mr Mobs would be victorious, his majority would not be a large one. It was stated that Mr Monk is receiving a very large support at Newmarket. At two o'clock to-day, about 200 votes had been polled at the Parnell Hall. EDEN. The candidates for Eden carried on their operations most energetically at tho Excel sior Hall, Pitt-street, and here there was a crowd of people during the whole day,_ while carriages" in the interest both of Mr Wood and Mr Tole were driving round the city and suburbs bringing voters to the poll. A great deal of interest waa evinced in the struggle,, and utmost energy was Used on both sides lor the determination of tbe result. WAITEMATA. Tbe fight betweeu Mr Hurst and Mr Allison, for the possession of the Waitemata seemed to engage very little attention in town, and at Devenport, appeared to be regarded with comparative indifference, their being only one or two conveyances to be seen about and not many people. Mr Alison directed his operations from the city, while Mr Hurst took up his stand near the Devonport,Hall.
