SUPREME COURT.-Thursday (concluded).

Criminal Sittings.

(Before His Honor Mi Justice Richmond.)

The Te Aroha Murder.

His Honor commenced to sum up at 2.20, and did not finish until 4.30, when the jury retired to consider their verdict. The prisoner had been nervous and agitated in manner all day, and when he came to be removed from the dock he be gan to moan piteously. The jury not having returned at 6 o'cloctc His Honor sent tor the foreman adn in quired if there was any likelihood of any speedy agreement being arrived at. The Foreman thought that the jury might decide upon their verdict in the course of an hour, and the Court was ad journed till 7 o'clock. Upon resuming, the Foreman was again Bent for, when, in answer to the Judge he said that if the Court were further ad journed for two hours, it would then be definitely known whether or not they were likely to agree. At present he was unable to say when they would agree. The Court was accordingly adjourned till nine o'clock. The prisoner made a loud outcry upon being removed from the dock, and when taken below he manifested the greatest unwillingness to enter the dark cell by himself. A constable was, there fore, allowed to remain with him. At nine o'clock the Court-room was crowded to excess. The prisoner's mien was more composed, but still it could be labouring under strong mental excitement. In reply to His Honor, the Foreman of the jury announced that no agreement had been come to, and that so far there was not the slightest prospect'of agreement. His Hpnor said that he was sorry to hear that, as the jury were aware he had no power to discharge them. After such a Btrong expression of opinion, he would do so if he could, but it was not in his power. They were auite right if their difference was of that decided character to put it before him, but they would have to remain that night. He could not discharge them until the following morning. The Court was then adjourned till Friday morning.

FRIDAY,

His Honour took his seat upon the Bench at 10 o'clock, the Court being again crowded. The prisoner betrayed much trepidation and looked as if he had Bpent a sleepless night. The jury having taken their places, the Foreman after the usual formula, announ ced the verdict to be one of " Not Guilty " Some people made a stamping noise with their feet, but the majority remained silent. . , ," .. The verdict was interpreted to the prisoner, and as soon as its purport dawned npon his mind, his features under went a chance. Eapidly making the sign of the cross from fore head to breast, and from shoulder to shoulder he made a profound obeisance to the Judge, avd then crossing himselt again he bowed in turn to the jury, the reporters, and the people who filled the auditorium of the Court. Tnese genuflec tions were performed with great quickness and with a fervour which conld not fail to be marked by the spectators The prisoner upon turning round again with his face to the Bench, joined his bands and rawed his eves in the attitude of prayer. He was then discharged, when a number of his acquaintances took him away to the Provincial Hotel to-shout" for Jib-, He railed for a glass of lemonade, and in doing ?]£t£ thft he has firmly resolved from Sat time forward never to drink anything stron* w than lemonade. We understand EX; the man professes to have been "drunk on the night of the murder as to have recollected nothing of what trans pired between seven o'clock in the evening and the following morning. The Court adjourned till 10 oclocK on Monday, when the civil business Will be commenced.

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

The processiou of drunkenness passing and repassing at the Police Court, this morning, caused some amusement to the morbidly curious, who crowded into Court. Nearly twenty oi these unfortunate inebnatcu were subjected to the usual penalty imposed upon selfish indulgence in intoxicants. AGED NELLY. Elleu McLean, aged 71, was sent to Mount Eden for seven days, it being her third oll'euce within a fortnight. A SHORT CASE. Mary Ann Long, a person of short stature, was charged uuder the Vagraut Act with being a ro»ue, vagaboud, drunkard, and disorderly person. Prisoner admitted sonic of the terms. Mr Pardy gave a sad account of the pernicious habits of Mary Ami Long, and considered that a short imprisonment would not be of no essential service to the poor creature. Considering the long list of oU'ences against the prisoner, the Court ordered twelve months' imprisonment. A SEA FIGHT. Fred. Williams, a seaman, was charged with striking Peter McDiarmid on board the British ship Oxford last night. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Peter McDiarmid, first mate onboard, de -10 cd that prisoner was very drunk last night and unlit for duty, consequently he would not permit him to keep watch. Prisoner immediately gave him a heavy blow iv the face. A seaman corroborated, aud Constablo Samson arrested the prisoner on the charge. Three months' imprisonment with hard 1 labour. A PLANE CASE. Charles Crowell was charged with stealing a plane, value 12s, the property of John Nelson, a carpenter, on Tuesday last. Prisoner denied the charge. John Nelson, carpenter, Alexandra-street, went to Mr Hart's, the pawnbroker, to redeem a plane which he had pawned for a few shillings. He placed the plane on the counter, aud was called on one side to speak to a person, when on looking round the plaue was gone. Mr Hart said he ought to have taken care of hia phuie. That was plain enough. Joseph Hart, pawnbroker, deposed that complainant called to redeem some carpen ter's tools, and left one behind him. Prisoner also called to redeem some tools, and claimed the plane (produced) as his property, and took it away. Mr Nelson returned for his plane, and he informed him that Crowell had taken it. The men were carpenters, and constantly in the habit of pledging ana redeeming tools. His Worship : Then your oflice is their tool chest.

Mr Hart: Very nearly so, your Worship. The prisoner subsequently pledged Nelson s plane for2sGd. Prisoner said he was an old settler and should be ashamed to owu such a rubbishy plane as Nelson's; he had better ones by far and of recent make.

Ilis Worship considered it a plain case of theft as the evidence plainly indicated; he must take seven days in Mount Jideu gaol. STEALING A RUG. John Knox and Johu .Nicholson were severally charged with stealing a hurse rug, ou the 13th inst., value 7s Cd, the property of a person unknown. Mr Pardy stated the case. The father of Nicholson was a decent man with a large family, but his son was beyond his control. The father was willing to pay 2s Gd a week towards the boy's support in the Naval Traiuing School. His Worship ordered that the boy should first be examined by Dr. liaiues. The boy Knox, a notorious young run a-way from the Industrial Home, waa sent back to his old quarters. BROACHING CARGO. Thirteen seameu, on remand, were again brought up ova charge of broaching cargo on board the Oxford, on the hiyh seas, during the ship's voyage from London to Auckland.

Mr Laishlcy appeared for the prisoners, and was desirous that the matter should be investigated by the Court, as they had already been in prison some time. Mr tardy said lie was not fully prepared to go on with the case, as several impor tant witnesses could not be present to day. Wm. Henry Braddick, master of the British ship" Oxford, deposed: The prisoners were able seamen on board his ship, and their names were on the articles. .Left London ou the 3rd Sept., ISSO, and reached Auckland on the 2ud April, 1881.—It was reported to him that larcenies were being committed from time to time. Ou turning out the cargo, he found tb.3t a large amount of goods had been pil laged, aua in some instances the cases had been broken up and thrown overboard. He could not tell the amount of pillage. Until the claims came in, the goods extracted consisted of about; 100 pound tins of mar malade, a number of bottles of Bpirits, bar rels of herrings, ]0 bottles of gin, a box of new shirts, and other properties, about £50 in value, as near as at present can be ascer-

tamed. Serjeant Martin described the way by which the prisoners got to the cargo, betweeu decks and lower hold, through a manhole. Pound a number of shirts in the possession of Manning, one of the prisoners, who said they were handed to him by Gibson, another of the seamen. He arres ted them on the charge. Two other witnesses were called, but were not within the precincts of the Court; he must therefore ask for a remand. Mr Laishley said he would not speak against the reasonableness of the remand ; but surely the police had ample lime to get sufficient evidence to connect the prisoners with the charge before the Court. Mr Laishley then reviewed the evidence, shewing that there was nothing to shew that the other prisoners besides Manning aud Gibson had anything to do with the robbery, and, strictly speaking, the eleven prisoners should not be kept in custody, there being no prim.l facie case against them. His Worship replied that it was utterly impossible to complete the case until the cargo was out, and were they set at liberty, any of the men who felt themselves guilty would have a chance of escaping. The remaud must extend to all the prisoners. Mr Pardy having made some further remark, the prisoners were remanded until the 23rd inst.

ATTKMI'TED SELF-DESTRUCTION. Alexander Bowman, on remand, was again brought up, charged with attempting to commit suicide in bbortland-street on the 12th inst. Mr Laishlcy appeared la defence, and pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy conducted the prosecution for the police. Mr Pardy reiterated the facts of this cose and called evidence. Colin Heuderson, chemist, in business in Grey-street, deposed that prisoner called at his shop between 11 and 12 o'clock on the morning of the 12th iuat. He asked for Bixpcanyworth of laudanum. Gave it to him. Prisoner stated that he got it at the request ot his wife for one of the children who was poorly. He appeared perfectly sober and collected. He labelled the bottle "Laudanum, a poison." (Bottle produced.) Gave one fourth of an ounce for Gd. To Mr Laishley : Had seventeen years experience as a chemist, and in making up prescriptions. Knew the effect of taking laudanum. He should not think that quantity would cause death. Would take it himself without the slightest fear. That supplied to prisoner was of the usual strength. To Mr Pardy : Could not tell whether the prisoner was in a state to take such a quantity with impunity. . To His Worship :He was not in the habit of taking laudanum, but was in a sufficiently good state of health to take the quantity, given to the prisoner, without fear. The prisoner asked for an empty bottle at the same time, which was sup plied. , Anne Hockey, married woman, deposed that she resided at the corner of Bank street and Shortland-street. Mrs Bowman and children lodged at her house. She is living separate from Mr Bowman, who called about noon on Monday last. Witness hearing some one below went downstairs, and saw prisoner sitting iv the kitchen, clothed as usual. He remained sitting for half an hour. Mrs Bowman was upstairs. Prisoner said, " Mrs Hockey, 1 hope you are not going to send for a policeman. She replied, " No, it is not my business. He said, "If you do, I'll take this poison beforehand," shewing the bottle. Witness went and told Mrs Bow man that her husband was downstairs; she went down and ordered him out of the house. He would not go. She sent a little boy for a Constable at the police statiou. Constable O'Connor came within 10 minutes, Mr Bowman went up stairs followed by the officer. , To Mr Laiahley: Did not see a second bottle in his hand. Did not hear him cay he intended to frighten his wife. Michael O'Connor, Police Constable, de posed that on receiving information of the circumstance he went to the house. It was about 1 o'clock. Mrs Bowman asked him to protect her against her husband. Asked Bowman to leave peaceably. He consented

to do so, and put on his coat. Ho then ran up stairs. Witness followed, Mrs Bowman having spoken of poison. At the top of tho stairs, prisoner clung to the door-post, and, with a groan, said, " I've done it at last." Witness said "done what?'1 Pri soner replied, with another groan, " taken all the poison that was in that bottle," which he dropped on the floor, Witness got him down stairs, when he fell on tho lloor, and, rolled on his back, apparently in pain. He sent for a doctor, aud within ten minutes Dr Goldsbro' came

Dr Goldsbro', duly qualified medical prac titiouer, deposed that he went to the house in Bank-street on the day iv question. Tho Constable informed him that a man had taken poison, but finding that it was lauda num, he aroused the prisoner and made him walk about. He administered a powerful emetic ; lie found that the man was getting more helpless, and directed his removal to the Hospital. He was not aware of the quantity he took, but considered his life in dauger. The quantity given was 2 drachms. There is a case on record of death resulting from that quantity iv an adult.

Charles A. Cooper, house surgeon at the Provincial Hospital, attended upou pri soner. Ho appeared very stupid, aud seemed to be sulfering from some nar cotic. He administered an emetic. Pri soner was very sleepy, and wanted to lie down anywhere, lie threatened him with the stomach-pump unless he walked about. Kept him on the move for two hours. Did not think his lite was in danger. He was all right the next morning. Complained of his throat being very dry, but shewed no sign of mental derangement, This being the evidence, Mr Laiahley ad dressed the Court, and pointed out that portion of evidence which was most favour able to the prisoner; and submitted that if the case went for trial, there was no chauce of a jury finding the prisoner guilty. His Worship concluded that the evidenco was not sufficient to justify a committal for trial, aud discharged the prisoner.

LORD BRACKENBURY: A NOVEL.

BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

CHAPTER IV,

GOOD-IIVE LANCELOT

Lancelot's mind was full of troubled thoughts, aa he rode over to Singleton on the Wednesday morning. As yet, follow ing Mr Mnrrables' counsel and the prompt ings of his own good sense, he had told Winifred none of thcae things ; but he now began to fed that it would not be easy to preserve silence much longer. Let it only be ascertained that this Mr Uoinpton who was spending his mouey pretty freely at Macclcslielil, and the mysterious claimant, were one and the same, he too must see tho man with his own eyes. But how should he go to Maccleslield without assigning some reason for the expedition ? Would it not lie better to tell all to his wife, and to tell it at once, before rumours should reach her from without ? He never saw Winifred open a letter now, or take up a newspaper, without an uneasy dread of its possible con tents.

Arrived at Marrahles and Blake's office, he found the two Fawcetts already drawu up in order of battle. Old Clarke now survived only in the name of the firm; Francis Fawcett had become a middle-aged man; But Fawcett senior, thanks to his ' toupde,' his hair-dye, and his teeth, looked hardly any older than when he paid his memorable visit to Laugtroy Grange. If his figure and complexion betrayed, perchance, a too self-indulgent habit of life, his hand, at all events, was ns well-shaped, and his smile as conspicuous, as ever.

A black bag stood beside him on the table. From this bag, after due preliminaries, he brought out some live or six bundles of letters and papers " We have the honour," he said in his florid wny, " to submit to yon, gentlemen, on the part of your client, Lord Bracken bury. . . ." " I beg your pardon," Mr Marrables interrupted, promptly. "I protest against that application of our client's name and title."

Mr Fawcett coughed, and smiled significantly.

We have the honour to submit to you, gentlemen, firstly a packet of letters from his lordship's brother, the Honourable Laucelot Brockenbury, mow present ; secondly, a packet ot letters from tho hiriy who was then Miss Winifred Savage; thirdly, a packet of business letters fiom the late Mr Joseph Mellor, who wan at that time his lordship's steward and ageut; fourthly, a packet of miscellaneous corres pondence (iucluding a letter, gentlemen, from yourselves, signed Marrablos and Wake) and fifthly.a parcel of hotel bills duly receipted, beginning with the Lord Warden Hotel, Dover, from which point his lord ship started, and ending with bills con tracted at tho Hotel Feder, Genoa, where ho was staying when he made his famous pur chase of the diamonds. Lastly—and these documents are of great importance—various papers connected with the sale and pur chase of the said diamonds ; namely, the Avvocati Moro's formal receipt for the sura of £31,000 sterling, the original inventory of the Jewells, and a list of the stones when unset and classified according to size and weight. This las-t list is in his lordship's own hand-writing. We have also a mass of private memoranda, small bills, and the like ; as well as a cigarette-case which your client will probably recognise." Lancelot did recognise it, instantly—a little Russia-leather case monnted in silver, which he had himself given to his brother not long before they parted. He then took np the first packet, consisting of his own letters, opened them one by one, scruti nised dates and postmarks, and passed them on in Mlence to Mr Marrables. Next ho examined the papers rolating to the dia monds, the hotelbills, aud so on : but Wini fred's letters he put ou one side un opened. " I presume you admit the authenticity of these documents ?" said Fawcett, senior.

MINING NEWS.

(From the " Coromandel Mail.")

Tokatea.— The mine manager, Mr. Hall, reports for the week ending April 13th :— "The contractors in No. 7 level have driven 25 feet during the week. The country maintains its usual defined character, carrying a good dig of from 6 to 12 inches and a strong body of quartz, the whole channel being about five feet between foot and hanging walls. The lode has been rather broken for the last few days, but is again comiDg together and improving in appearance, especially towards the floor of the drive. The present face is about 240 feet inside the Bismarck boundary, or 80 feet ahead of the latter company's rise, having about 360 feet to drive to cut the Tokatea boundary. The workings, with the exception of a stream of water flowing from the floor of the level, are quite dry. Thodes' party have relinquished their tri bute ; Boswcll and Co. (tnbuters) arc pro specting on a small string near the crown of the hill. A few specimens have come to hand. The leader is small and broken." Union Beach G.M. Co.—The manager of this mine is busy cross-cutting the country on both sides of the old Groon Harp leader, and has a few tons of stuff in the paddock taken from a block _of the Green Harp roef above sea level, which had been left untouched; gold is visible in the stuff, hut nothing to boast about.

BISMAHCK.—In the mine matters remain in much the same state as at the time of my last report. The course of the reef in the drive has scarcely altered, and although the lode is more compact, the quartz is of rather a hungry appearance. Tho rise is now up 38 feet, and shows a small but nice looking vein, wbich is increasing In size as it is worked on upwards, owing to the broken nature of the hanging wall and the probability of meeting_ with a strong flow of water which makes it neces sary to timber the ground very securely. The progress made in getting up is not quite so rapid as could be wished.—J. A. DOBSON, mine Manager, April 14th.

A series of athletic sports will take place at Northnote on Monday. The North shore Company's steamers will run there at intervals during the (lay.

The Hobson Company propose holding a social gathering on Kaßter Tuesday, when they and their friends will meet in a public ball (which hall has not yet been deojded). and indulge in the usual amusements engage it at such meetings. A number of lady and gentlemen friends are expected to furniah solos, duets. &c, and a very enjoyable evening may be looked forward to.

The Temperance Hal), having been beautified and restored, a re-opening, in the shape of a musioa' and literarr entertainment will bo given'on Tuesday evening next, by the members, chiefly, of the Pioneer Lodge. The programme appears in another columD. We notice that song* will .be given by Messrs Brinsden, Beil, and several. ladies, also ad dressess by Messrs Griffith, Prince, and the Chairman; also a number of recitations and readings by others, and several glees by the talented Frith fauiily.

COSTUME CRICKET MATCH.

I The costume cricket match between au Auckland Eleven and a similar number of the Opera Company took place ill the Domain this afternoon. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, there was a good attendance of both sexes. The dresses of the players caused considerable amuse ment, and the frequent and varied eccentricities practised excited frequent buasts of laughter. Tho opera players went to the wickets lirst, but the wickets fell rapidly, Thompson being the only one who made a stand. Ham l('at (Mr Margetts) appeared at tlie wickets with a board about 3 feet by 4 for a bat, and behind this he took refuge from all " shooters." Unfortu nately for himself, he lifted it too high, and his stumps were scattered by White. The opera playersrepresentedthe following char acters :—Mayor of .Richmond, Mr Benham, Fisherman in " Un Ballo|Maschero," Mr Alpress; Kalph Kackstraw, Mr Ingmanj; Policeman, Mr Bullair; "soldier, eleventh ' century, Mr McKeuzie ; English clown, Mr Briggs ; circus! clown, Mr YV. Thompson ; Hum Fat, Mr Margctts; Irishman, Mr Woods.—Some of the Auckland players dresses were original, Mr W. W. K«bin son as Tim Flaherty. Most natural looking Highlander in kilts, made up splendidly, while Mr Iveus was a Mr White, as an Irishman, was amusing in bis own way. Messrs Carter and Arueil appeared in football costumes. The " bottle of bull dog beer " was the most noticeable character, FIBST INNINGS. Thompson b. Ivens 13 Allpreas b. Arueil 0 Higgous b. Ivens 0 Jnguinno b.

Thero were a largo number of excursionists, but thu boat was not overcrowded. The pus- Hugo up was thoroughly enjoyed by old and young, and on arrival at Mr Lamb's, the excursiouista, wore surprised nnd delighted to find it table and seats prepared for them under the treeu, and 11 boiler hill of water and near boiling, t,o that in a abort time the ton wan ready.

THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 16



A cricket match was played on Friday in the Domain batween the Young Auck landers and Alma Cricket Club, which re sulted in an easy victory for the former in one iuniugs and seven runs to spare. Young Aucklanders first in nings, 101; Alma Ist innings 31, second 63. The highest scores for the Young Aucklandors was G. Colgan 26, D. Berry \7, S. Mills 11 A large number of the members of the Ke> creation Club proceeded over to the North Shore yesterday morning, and spent the day at Vauxhall Gardens, where archery, cro quet, and rounders formed the principal amusements, the greatest amount of interest was attached to the archery matches which had been arranged for the occasion, viz., one betwoen the ladies and' gentlemen aud another by gentlemen only for a prize pre sented by the ladies. As the highest scorer on "each side, Miss Lamburn and Mr J .McLeod will receive prizes. Mrs Ann "Vesey was arrested tliia after noon under the " Malicious Injury to Pro perty Act," she having broken several panes of glass and the globe ot a lamp, the property of Mr George J. Thorpe. It appears that a seaman, named John , with whom Mrs Vesey was on friendly terms, as she did hia washing, had not called to dine with her according to promise! She was informed that he was at Thorpe's, and went after him, when a voice from the inside spoke through the keyhole, and told Mrs Vesey that she need not trouble herself, John was not there. She knocked loudly, bat the answer was, '"Tis no use knocking at the door any morct" when the enraged woman flew at the window and committed the damage with a stick, vowing she would have JacV, or down would go the house. A constable was called, who, with assistance, took the acciiso'l to the Police Statiou for a lodging until Monday rooming (unless bail be se cured), when she will appear to give an explanation of her strange conduct, Madame Lottie Wilmot, for the con venience ot country visitors, may be Consulted each afternoon and evening for Mesmerißui and Spiritualistic Seances, Wharf Hotel, Queen 'Btreet.-l4.dvU]
