WADE SMUGGLING CASE.

Acquittal of the Prisoners.

The other Charges Withdraivn.

(Before R. C. Baratow, Esq., R.M.)

The re-hearing of the charges against Adam Emrili and Richard Polkinghorne of being knowingly concerned in dealing in certain goods liable to duties of Customs, to wit, a certain quantity of brandy, with in tent thereby to defraud, at the Wade, on. or about the month of June, 1880, was con tinued after we went to press yesterday. Mr Laishley appeared for the Collector of Customs, Mr Hesketh for Emrili, and Mr LuskforPolkinßhorne. H.Parker, Donald McLean, Alexander Agnew, and Benjamiu Poole were examined, and Maurice Jiclly was recalled. His Worship then announced that he would deliver his decision this morning. THE RESULT. The Court was crowded to excess this morning, by persons ,desirous of hearing the judgment. Mr. BaMtow took his seat at 10.30 am, and gave his judgment as follows :—When it becomes necessary, in a case of this character,—a case in which some persons more or less in number have wilfully sworn falsely—to ascertain the truth, the only plan to adopt for that pur pose is, to weigh the motives of the parties, and to apply the test of. common sense to the probability or possibility of certain events which havo been deposed to. Take the latter plan first. Wu find two quarter casks of rum last November, in an open place on Duck Creek, in charge of Emrili and Polkinghorne; and eight horsemen brought by Maurice Kelly to remove the contents of these to Orewa. We hear noth ing as to how . long these casks had been lying there, but we do find that these horsemen had come from Aroruimu, Lucas' Creek, Dairy Flat, and other more or less distant places, owing to an arrangement between Ernrih and Maurice Kelly, at some previous time. These horse men Can't get direct, to the liquor which has to be ferried over Duck Creek to them. They had met at Maurice Kelly's house— iid, Follerdown's—and therefore rode across Wade Bridge on tho way thither from their dwellings. All rode across again on their way way to Duck Creek, then led their horses oVer with packs, and on their return from Orewa, seven of them rode over Wade Bridge again. There were thus thirty crossing by horses on that bridge that night. Now, Maurice Kelly, who organised the movement for transport of this liquor, lived close to Wade Bridge, and knew its state, but yet tells us that this way for carrying the liquor was the easiest and safest, in face of the evidence as to the state of tho Wade bridge during the month of November. On the other hand, we have evidence that the liquor, which had in either case to be put into and taken out of a boat, could have been landed-near Neil son's, one-mile-and-a-quurter .distant, and then taken' by a level road to Orewa Bridge, that two men could have carried it over even without horses in a night, and without paying ten or twelve gallons of liquor for the transit by a circuitous route, or acquaint ing a number of people with their private business. Reeson tells me that the employ mentofS horses, as alleged, was unnecessary. Six would have been ample, supposing that these were the horses which were capable of carrying the witnesses, and tua for one man to have carried the liquor in kegs or jars from Neilson'a to Orewa in a night would have been no feat to brag of. The evidence of TiDbot's and Mrs Dunn as to James Frost's remarks about not knowing Polkinghorne 'is peculiar. With reference to the matter more immediately concerned in the case before the Court—that of the events of the 4th March—one point has struck me—the frequent reference to a "mouut," being really the earth heaped up over the plant, and which had been dug ont of the hole which was then containing it. Having myself measured the jars themselves and cases which would hold as much as those stated by Morton and Wilson to have been taken by them, I find that a hole 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, would have been ample in size. Would men making a plant dig an unnecessarily large hole? I think not. Now what is the size of the actual hole! Morton Bays 4x4 and 2J feet deep; Andrew Wilson, 5x4; Moav," 4 or 5 x 4 or 5 ; Parker and Polkinghorne, x6d and 3J feet deep. Thus, instead of a hole which is said to have contained packages holding 14 gallons, according to Morton it would have held 35, by Wilson and Mar's version some 50 or more, whilst Parker's and Polkinghorne's measurements admit oi close upon 100 gallons. A hole of this character would have a mound over. it. It seems to me rather an odd coincidence that the men Morton and William Wilson, who Jive come distance from the Wade, and from each other, should have been the people together at the old hotel onthenignt of the fire, and should be found together in this boat on the night of the 4th March, and should 20 easily have found the plant without a light, though they had never seen it before. The brandy 'a labelled Lucieu and the cases add an , element of suspicion which tends to give , preponderance to one sids of the question. - Chiefly guided by the conclusions these '■ various facts lead me to, I acquit the j prisoner's of the charge brought against - them, and whilst expressing my sorrow at ■ their having undergone an imprisonment for . the commission of an offence of which I now , bold them guiltless. I desire at the same . time to say that if I had hap on this occa- . sion only the same evidence as that which , came before me on the first trial, I should . have come to the determination now as I ■ did then. The prisoners are now discharged. ( The decision was received with loud - applause. When order was restored, Mr Laishley said there were two other , informalities in that Court against the pri soners, but after the judgment given, by His . Worship it would be impolitic to proceed with them. They would be withdrawn, , for the reason that they had no fresh cvi. ' dence—no testimony farther than that - given' for the prosecution in the case before , the Court. Mr Hesketh said he would like to be . allowed to make one remark. : On behalf of the defendants, he wished to thank the - police for the way in which they had brought this case before the Court. The settlers who had interested themselves on behalf of the two prisoners were especially thankful to Mr Pardy for the disinterested way in . which he had acted. Mr Pardy said his instructions from Mr Thomson were to have the case sifted to the bottom, and his desire bad been to ascertain the truth of the statement made. His Worship saidMr Pardy had done hia duty skilfully, and had managed the whole business with care and skill. The Court was then cleared.

THE RAILWAY TERMINUS.

A rußLic meeting of citizens, for the purpose of having considered "the action of the Government with respect to the reclamation works " in Custom-house-street East, was held yesterday afternoon in tho Insurance Buildings. -

All the available sitting accommodation was occupied before the hour announced for commencing the proceedings. The Mayor (J. M. Clark) opened the meeting in the usual formal manner, and read the following telegram, which had been received by a pri vate individual from a member of the Government: — " Wellington, 18th August — Every member of the Govern ment is quite satisfied that the railway re clamation must be completed without de lay. Nobody opposes, nobody objects to it. The vote will complete the wall; the work will not be stopped till the reclamation is completed. If a vote of money for this pur« pose were now made, it would have to be taken from the sum placed on the estimates for the Auckland district, which will be the highest, the sum being £350,000 as com pared with Wellington, for which £77,000 lias been voted. As to justice to Auckland, I am apparently abused in Auckland for not doing more, while elsewhere I am abused for doing so much." His Worship proceeded to say that this message went iurther in a particular way, than any offi cial communication they had yet received on the subject, inasmuch as it recognised the importance and admitted the necessity of finishing the reclamation without un necessary delay. It was for the meeting to determine whether all and any delay on the matter was unnecessary. Another, but not a new point, was raised in the telegram, seeing that it found the sub stance of a reply given by the Premier to Mr Spei«ht, viz., that all the money avail able for Auckland had been voted for roads and works within her bounds, and that the placing of a further sum on the Estimates for the purposes of the reclamation, would necessitate the deduction of a corresponding amount from the vote referred to. Urban constituencies had frequently been taxed with an overweening desire for the prosucu tion of locally-important works, while the country districts were coolly allowed to languish in neglect, and whether or not the accusation were true, we should at least make it clear on this occa sion that wo did not want our claim satisfied at the [expense, and to the

detriment of the country. We should do without the reclamation rather than that the money required for its prosecution should be diverted from its intended appli cation to the supply of country necessities. It was equally desirable that in whatever action they should take, or in whatever resolution they might come to, they should be as nearly as possible unanimous, for dissidence of opinion meant want of power and loss of influence. He knew full well that were the question merely one of com menoing such a reclamation as was now well advanced towards completion, there would be a difference of views, for some would prefer to have a wet dock and a water frontage, and to have the station remain where it is. Others would adopt the view taken by the Railway Commissioners, viz., thai while it would be a convenience to have . the station brought nearer the ity that convenience would be too dearly purchased by the money required to attain it. The Commissioners, however, peiceived that extensive shed accommoda t'ou would be more and more necessary as the trade of the place developed, and they therefore came to the conclusion that the reclamation work should be carried out to the extent originally contemplated. If there was very little reason or room for a difference of opinion, then there was still less now. The seawall was now well on towards completion, and there could not be difference of opinion any longer as to the desirability of reclaiming as far as tha wall.. The question simply resolved itself of one of " when shall it be done!" The work was urgently required on sanitory as well as on commercial grounds, and the Go vernment themselves had confessed that it ought to be done with as little delay as possible or without unnecessary delay. Mr C. C. McMillan then moved the following resolution :—" That the Premier of the colony having made a statement in the House that no special vote need be ex pected this year for the railway reclamation works, in Auckland harbour, this meeting protests against; its beins; left, incomplete, and respectfully but finny call upon the Government to put a sum on the supplemen tary estimates to complete the work with out delay, as for the following reasons :—l. That the Government are bound in good faith to carry out the arrangements made with the Harbour Board, by which that Board gave up large annual revenue, 2. That the sea-wall is sufficiently advanced to enable the filling-in to be proceeded with. 3. That the convenience of the public requires that the station should be brought nesrer to the centre of the city. 4. That the sea wall being completed without filling-in would lead to an intolerable nuisance, and be prejudicial to the health of the city. 5. That the Customs' sheds and other accom modation contemplated by the Harbour Board for discharging vessels—so urgently required—cannot be carried out unril the work is finished," The gentleman, ia speaking to the motion, said that when he attended the last public meeting, which was' held for the purpose of having the railway works proceeded with, he did hot think that another one would be rendered necessary. The Government appeared to be sufficiently interested in the work to ensure its energetic prosecution. They certainly could not plead want of money, when, in face of the Railway Cfmmissioners report, they could undertake and proceed with such a unremuera live scheme as the Otago Central Railway. The shipping and commercial interests of Auckland were suffering grievously from the present condition of things, and the public should, therefore, insist on their convenience being consulted, and the credit of the port sus tained. After alluding to the disgraceful state of the landing place at the time the steamer Bowen arrived here with her cargo of teas, Mr McMillan went on to show that it was postively dangerous to the public health to allow the reclamation works to be stayed or even tardily proceeded with. By doing this the Government, he affirmed, would promote the breeding of a deadly malaria, and perpetuate the existence of a noxious and pestiferous nuisance in the most populous part of the city. Besides, as honour able men Ministers were bound to carry out their distinct agreement with the Harbour Board, and nothing would injure them more in public opinion than a breach of faith on such a matter. Mr Thos. Thompson (City Councillor and member of the Harbour Board) seconded the resolution. He said that he agreed in the main with what had fallen from the preceding speakers. The work was admitted on all hands to be a necessary work, and instead of merely contenting ourselves with telegraphing about it we should follow the course adopted in the South, and send a deputation of in uential men to Wellington with regard to it. [c was afraid that the work would never be one if we went no further than the despatch of telegrams. Mr W. F| Buckland expressed satisfaction at the evident disinclination of the meeting to interfere with the grants to the country dis tricts. If more attention were paid to the country, and larger sums of money spent in developing it, these railway works would have to be furnished. Mr. G. S. Jakins proposed as an amend ment—"That the Government be requested without delay to carry out the plan suggested by Mr. Oliver, late Minister of Public Works, bringing the railway station to Gore-street, \ ompleting Gore-street; and that the balance of the reclamation between Gore-street and Queen-street be handed over to the Harbour Board as a reserve for dock and other pur« poses." His interests had been prejudiced by the removal of the Gore-street jetty, and the interests of the people had also suffered when loads of distinctions were emptied into the tide, and an annual revenue of formerly accruing to the Harbour Board, was swept away. Was it for the benefit that and about ,£150,(300 should be thus sunk, in order to bring railway passengers two minutes' walk nearer Queen-street ? He denied that it was, and was prepared to maintain it. The station might be brought to Gore-street, and the paltry 120 yrrds additional saved. Mr. A. Heather seconded the amendment, pro forma. Mr Johu Abbot, in a vigorous and fluent speech, supported the resolution. Mr A. Boardman followed in a similar strain. He also proved by statistics that Auckland had been most unjustly and ungene rously treated in the matter; of University endowments, public works, etc. ■ . . Mr Staines, amid great' disorder, suggested an adjournment to some day next week. Mr J. Newman deprecated Mr Jakins' in troduction of discord into the meeting. Dis union had ever been the bane of Auckland. ... After some further discussion, Mr Jakins withdrew his amendment amid loud' applausei Mr Staines then moved in it'place, "This meeting is of opinion that to obtain a fair re presentation of the citizens of Auckland a meeting called by the Mayor, at the expense of the ratepayers, should be called for the evening, in .order to give the'majority of the ratepayers an opportunity to express their opinion." Mr J. Burtt seconded the proposition, but on being put to the meeting it was negatived nil but unanimously. ; ;i.;r ... !'i Ttie resolution was carried, Mr Staines being the only dissentient. It was then resolved, on the motion of Mr. Peacock, seconded by Mr. G. Aickin—" That this meeting calls upon the members of both Houses of Parliament representing the pro. vincial district of Auckland to use their united efforts to get the Government to alter their decision, attd carry on the work of reclamation to completion without delay/ It was then agreed, on the motion of Mr. Lamb, seconded by Mr. Dargaville—" That this meeting, in urging that a sum should be put on the supplementary estimates for the railway reclamation work, has no desire that such should be done at the expense of the country districts." The Mayor was empowered to telegraph the resolutions to the Governmeut and the Auck land members of both Houses. A vote of thanks to the chair brought the proceedings to a close.

"BARN-STORMING."

Onco, during the days of his early struggles, Booth, a contemporary tells us, was " barn storming " down ia Virginia, at a place call ed Lee's Landing. The improvised theatre was a tobacco warehouse, and it was crowd ed by the planters from miles around. Booth and his companions had arranged to take the weekly steamer expected late that night, and between the acts waa busy pack ing up. The play was the " Merchant of Venice," and they were just going on for the trial scene, when they heard a whistle, and the manager came running in to say that the steamer had arrived, and would leave again in ten minutes. As that was their only chance tor a week of getting away, they were in a terrible quandary. If we explain matters," said the manager, "the audience will think they are being cheated, aud we sh^ll have a free fight. The only thing is for yoar fellows to get up some sort of a natural-like impromptu ending for the piece and ring down the curtain. Go right ahead, ladies and gentlemen, and take your cue from Ned, here;" and he hurried away to,get the luggage aboard. "Ned, of conrse, was Bootb, who resolved to rely upon the ignorance of the Virginians of those days to pall him through all right. So when old George Buggies—who was playing Shylock—began t3 sharpen his knife on his boot, Booth walked straight up to him and said solemnly, " You are bound to have the flesh, are you?" "You bet your life !" said Buggies. " Now I'll make you one more offer," continud Booth. In addition to this big bag of ducats, I'll throw in two kegs of niggerhead terback, a shot guß aud » couple of the best 'coon dogs in

I he state." " I'm Manned if I don't do it!" • esponded Shy lock, much to the approbation of the audience, who were tobacco-raisers and coon hunters to a man. ''And, to «how that there i» no ill-reeling," put in Portia, "we'll wind up with a Virginny reel." When the company got aboard the steamer, the captain, who bad witnessed the conclusion of the play, remarked, " I'd like to see the whole of that play some time, gentlemen. I'm blarmed it I thought that fellow Shakspeare had so much snap in nim !"

ANGLO-FRENCH TREATY.

LONDON, August 19

It has transpired that the French Government has sent an official note to the British Government, in reply to the latters communication, announcing that England declined to resume negotiations for the new commercial treaty in conse quence of the refusal ot France to agree to the temporary prolongation of present treaties. The French Govern* meut explains that its refusal is due to tho fact that it is thought that the proposal to prolong the existing treaties is contrary to law. At the same time a hope is expressed that it may yet bo found possible to overcome obstacles which have ariseu.

WRECK OF THE RONA.

Furtner Particulars.

With respect to this much regretted casuality, we have received but few addi tional to those published by us yesterday. The report made by natives to the constable at Port Albert that a body had been washed ashore about six miles south of Kaipara Head?, has not been con confirmed, and no further information 0 the discovery of any of the missing men has come to hand.

The following telegram was received by Captain John McKenzie this morning: " Helensvillo, 20-8-81.—Youm* Phillips states ho saw Rona ashore on Friday morning where she now lies; also saw her boat and spars dawn near South Head Did not notice any body.—John Shbbh an junr," This has proved anything but an acceptable missive to the friends of the departed. That a tperson should see a vessel wrecked so far back as Friday morn ing last and neglect reporting the matter up till now, seems strange and most lamentable,

Constable Naughton's report of the search, as to Superintendent Thompson, contains a few additional particulars. He says that at 4 p.m. on the 17th instant, some natives from Warapapa reported to the constable that a vessel was ashore on the coast, bottom upwards. On the 18th, in company with Capssins John McKcnzie, and Smith, arrived at; the wreck, and found it on fire, and burned to the sand. From inquiry made, the constable learned that it had been fired by a Maori named Kepper (or Keppa), supposed for the pur« pose of getting at the copper bolts. The constable, in company with the persons named, went along the beach some five miles north of the wreck towards South Head, but could find no trace of any bodies being washed ashore. The distance from Helensville from tho wreck is about 13 miles. There was an attempt made with a spade to try and find out what was under the sand where the wreck lay, but the in coming tide prevented the search. The property was all moved above high-water mark, From the account the natives give it would be on Friday, the 12th inst., she came ashore.

SINGULAR CASE OF FIRE RAISING IN PONSONBY.

A singtjlak case of fire raising in Pon sonby, has been reported to the polico, and is now being investigated. About ten o'clock this morning Mrs Spry who lives in Prospect Terrace, reported to the police that about half-past six in the morn ing, she awoke and found her bedroom full of smoke, arid smelt something burning. She called to the girl Sarah Jones, and asked her to look under the house, The |girl states that she went underneath, and saw some hay in a box on fire. The box bad a bottle under it to keep it off the ground. She immediately threw water on the fire and put it out. Sho says that she had been oui; in the yard once or twice before Mrs Spry called, but did not observe any sign of fire. The box and the hay (which had been used for packing) were lying in the yard on the previous night. Constable Bernard ex amined the place where tho hay was on fire under the house. He found the box slightly charred. The fire was cvfij dently meant to frighten the inmates of the house, as from i'.ts being so small, and under the centre of the house where the building is 2 feet 6 inches above the ground, it could not have done any damage. This is the third fire which Mrs Spry re ported to the police within a week. Tho girl Sarah Jones found a packet of candles and some matches under the house, on the evening of the 19th, which she gave to Mrs Spry. Mr Spry is away from home, and Mrs Spry is confined to bed with illness. She states that the house belongs to Mrs Cargo, and she does not think it is insured. There is no insurance on the furniture.
