SUPREME COURT.-Criminal Sittings.

Yesterday concluded. (Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) Alleged rape.—The evidence of the native woman having been taken, His Honor asked Mr Williamson if he was dis posed to go on with the case; the evidence was a mass of contradictions, and nothing to go to the jury.—Mr Coleman said he could call Witnesses who would prove that the accused was uot at the place at all on that day.—Mr Williamson, however, asked for further evidence, aud several witnesses were heard, but their statements were favourable to the accused.—Mr Coleman called Mrs Sobritzky, the mother of pri soner, who deposed that her son was under her own observation all that day, and that the offence-could not have been committed by him.—Counsel on both sides addressed the jury; and His Honor summed up with his wonted care.—The jury returned a ver dict of " Not guilty."-His Honor, in dis charging the accused,.expressed regret that the evidence had not been duly considered before sending the case for trial. If the committing magistrate had used due care, the prisoner's liberty would not have been imperilled,

THIS DAY.

(His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock.)

Embezzlement.—Henry Edward Stehr, mill-manager, Whangapoua, was arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with em bezzlement of monies belonging to the New Zealand Timber Company,—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—MrM. S. Leers was chosen foreman of the jury.—Mr E. Hes keth appeared for the prisoner, and re quested that all witnesses be ordered out ot Court.—This was done, and the Crown Prosecutor stated the circumstances con nected" with the case.—His Honor drew the attention of the Crown Prosecutor to tho fact, that he had opened the case under the wrong sectiou, He was a mill manager, and not a public officer, and consequently the section could not apply to him. An officer was one who bad charge ef the affairs of the company.— Mr Hesketh said the prisoner must be an officer appointed under statute before sec tion 82 could apply to him. A mill manager was no more a public officer than was a stoker the man who. worked the engine. He could find no analogy except in the case of a man embezzling public money.—His Honor said it appeared to him that the section only applied to an officer who was necessary to the existence of the company, and who was ap pointed under the articles of association and terms of constitution, such as that there shall be six directors of whom one shall be manager; that there shall be a secretary and-treasurer. They were the officers necessary for the existence of the company, bnt a mill-manager was certainly not one of these. " A company could always go 'on without a mill-manager.—The Crown Pro secutor said he did not see under this Act how the prisoner might be indicted. There was an English Act which applied to a clerk, officer, or servant. Under the cir cumstances, he would enter a nolle prosequi His Honor, addressing the jury, said tbe prisoner had been indicted as a public officer, but under the statute it was apparent that an officer was one necessary to the existence of a company. Underno cir cumstances could a mill manager be called a public officer. Consequently, there was clearly no case, and he would therefore ask them to return a verdict of " Not guilty." —This verdict was accordingly given, in three cases under the same indictment.

Larceny of a WARRANT.-^Henry Edward Stehr was charged with stealing a warrant for the payment of £3 Ss, the property of Wm. Bell, on May 7th.— Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Mr E. Hes keth appeared for the prisoner.—Tbe jury was empannelled, and one of the number- Thomas Kelly—did not appear when called. Thomas Benton was chosen foreman.— Mr Williamson stated the circumstances. The prisoner'drew out a warrant or order, kept it in his possession, and then passed it on to the store where he got cash or credit for it,—-Mr Hesketh submitted that these facts revealed no larceny, but an offence of obtaining money under false pretences. It could . not be larceny as , a bailee, because he had not been entrusted with the order. —In answer to Bis Honor, Mr Hesketh said the section would not allow the jury to return a verdict of "larceny as a bailee" ■ nnder this indict ment the case be gone on with, and he quoted authorities to show that it would be competent for the jury to return a verdict for larceny.—Some further argument took place. His Honor said if the prisoner had implied authority to cash, the order, then the offence could not be one of stealing a valuable document, but of converting the (honey.to his own use.—Mr Hesketh sub mitted that there could be no constructive entrusting, although there might be con structive possession. —His Honor said the . order certainly did • not become Bell's -property- until he came into possession of it. If prisoner had torn it up, for instance/that would not have been an offence. Prisoner could not have been guilty of larceny of the money until he handed iito Bell.—Mr Williamson pointed oat the .fact that prisoner had debited Mr Bell with th* money.—His Honor said that was a fraudulent entry, but not larceny. —Mr Williamson said the entry of money in a" bank book would make that money become the property of the individual in whose name it was entered. If any other person were to take it, an offence of larcey would be com-,* mitted, altbongh the man to whose credit it was deposited might not know, it was there. —His Honor said in order to constitute lar veny, there must be a taking out of the possession of the true owner.—Mr Hesketh quoted from various authorities to show wfcat constituted larceny. - His Honor said he was-quite certain that there was no lar ceny of a valuable deed. He thought the better course would be to have the facts"-in evidence, so as. to see whether ! there had been fraud. The ruling on theiother point might be given then.—William Bell, sworn, deposed tha he 'was a blacksmith at Whangapoua. He Was employed by the New Zealand Timber Company. When they required money, they, were accustomed to tell tbe ; manager, and' get him to make out an order. Then they signed their name and obtained their order. He kept a pass book, which was produced and identified. The manager from whom they obtained the orders was the prisoner.— Witness did not go to him for an order on May 7th, 1881, and he did not authorise him to draw one out on paper that day. He was in the Hospital on 7th May, and came oiit in the latter, part of June. Four or five weeks after became out of the Hos pital, he got his pass-book from Mr Clark at the store,and found that he had been de bited with £3 53 which he never got.. Wit ness asked prisoner who obtained the £3 ss, and he replied that he had paid it away for witness's expenses. Stehr also said he would make it all right in his book. Witness replied that he would bo satisfied when Stehr gave him an explanation where the cash had gone to. This "conversation was carried on in his office in the mill. Saw prisoner at his (witness's) house at eleven o'clock en the night of the 9th of last month. He called witness out of bed, and said he was in difficulties with Mr Harris. He asked him if he had told Mr Harris that day about the order for £3 5s which he took' from witness, and he a9ked him if he acknowledged having taken it. Stehr then requested him to tell Mr Harris that he had borrowed the money from him before his sickness, bnt witness decline*!. He did not owe Stehr any money. Prisoner repeatedly urged witness to tell Mr Harris this story, s_d promised he would pay the money back. Two days later Stehr sent for him, and he went to hiß house. Prisoner then admitted having taken the order, and.said witness would oblige by not going against bim. Mrs Stehr was also present then.—By Mr Hesketh :—Stehr had got orders for wit-* ness previously, but had never cashed any of tbem for him. He had brought them to witness. He had not signed for every order he got. It was not true that ho only signed where balances were cleared off. fionietimes he was not. asked to sign. When he left Whangapoua for the Hospital, he was carried overland to Coro mandel by twelve men. He did not know that Stehr paid for medicine for him, The meu who carried him to Coromandel had been paid £1 6s for refreshments, and this had been charged for. Mr Stehr did not collect any subscriptions for him when he was iv the Hospital. Mr Stehr had never explained to him. that be had charged £3 5s for expenses which had been incurred. There was 12a 8d charged for the services of a man referred to as Dick, but he said he never got it. He went of his own accord to Mr Harris about the £3 ss. Mr Stehr neyer said to hnn, " Do you expect me to do all for nothing? Witness asked him if he had given his wife any money, and he said ho had not. Mr Stehr did ask him, *' Why should I leave Whangar-oua; what have I done. Witness replied that Mr Harris was King of Whangapoua, and that he could not get justice done.—To His Honor: He never received the: order produced from the prisoner. The first time he saw it was in

the Court at Coromandel. He' never asked the prisoner to make,out an order for him. Was never informed that the order had been made out for him till he saw it in Court, The older butt produced was like those which he used to sign.—To the Crown Prosecutor: When he went to the hospital wages to the amount of £7 odd wasdue to him. —Christopher Attwell Harris, junr., director of the New Zealand Timber Company, deposed that he was .manager of the company in May last. He knew the prisoner, who was employed as .manager of the mill at Whangapoua. His duties consisted ia the engagement of men,' the carrying on of business, and, in fact, to do anything that was required. It was his duty to give men orders for wages, andtlie clerk was supposed to enter and initial them. Every week, the men's wages were put to their credit, and they drew by means of orders. Every man had a pass-book, which he was supposed to get every week. The manager was expected to take a receipt of orders on a butt which he retaiued. The order was similar to those issued, and the butt, which had been taken from the order bodk, corresponded with it. It was in favour of W. Gibbs, a storekeeper at Coromandel. The order produced had been paid.—To Mr Hesketh; He did not know where the other butts were. Bell told him there was £3 5s en tered in his pass-book, which ho had never received. He found the order in the book. There was a balance of £7 10s standing to Mr Stehr's credit at the mill, — Henry Thomas Gibson, bookkeeper to,, the New Zealand Timber Company at Whangapoua, deposed that he had charge of the store and books. He recoguised the handwriting on the order produced as that of Mr Stehr. Took it from prisoner at his request to enter it in the cash book, .and cash order book. Prisoner took the order away again.— His Honor said it was apparent that there was traud against the company, but not against Bell. The remainder of the evi dence, however, had better be taken.— William Gibbs, storekeeper at Coromandel, deposed that he received the order (pro duced) in an. enclosure from Mr Gibson, which stated that he was to take the pro ceeds of the debt and pay himself the amount which Mr Stehr owed him. This left him 17s in Mr Stehr's debt.—To Mr Hesketh; While Bell was iv tho hospital his family was supported by a subscription, of which Mr Stehr had charge.—This was all the evidence,—Mr Hesketh submitted that larceny and enrbezzlement bad not been established, and a conviction for any other offence could not be secured under this indictment. — His Honor, addressing the jury, said the evidence disclosed no possi ble offence of larceny, and consequently they could not convict him for that particu lar offence. Stealing required a taking ouit of the possession of the true owner of tho property, and maltiog away with them feloniously. Bell said he had never had the order in his possession, and had not authorised its being drawn out.—Conse quently, prisoner could not have taken it out of his possession. Bad be authorised it to be drawn up, then there might have been a constructive possession shown, but uuder the circumstances there was none. He must therefore direct them to find a verdict of " Not Guilty," — The jury brought in their verdict accordingly. FORGERY.—Henry Edward Stehr was then arraigned upon an indictment charging him with forging and uttering an endorse ment wi.h intent to defraud.—Prisoner pteaded not guilty.—Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the defence. —Mr Thomas Hobson was chosen foreman of the jury, —Mr Williamson, in stating tho facts, said that he could not offer any evidence to show that prisoner committed the forgery, or that he received the proceeds, or pre sented the order himself. He could only show that on being accosted by Mr Harris, he admitted having cashed the order and obtained the proceeds.—His Honor pointed out that the indictment did not state whether tho warrant which the prisoner was charged with forging was for the payment of money or the delivery of goods.—Mr Hesketh submitted that the in dictment did not describe a document within the statute, and had not set it out. —His Honor considered that the instru ment must be described directly.—Mr Wil liamson said the instrument itself was not in question. It was the accuracyof the en. dorsement.— His Honor said prisoner was charged iv theindictmentwithforgingawar. rant, but that was not au offence against the law. The warrant must he described.— Mr Williamson asked that the indictment be amended.—His Honor said he would be willing to allow it if possible. He was sorry to see the ends of justice evaded by mistakes. —Mr Hesketh submitted thatj there was no power to amend.—His Honor agreed with Mr Hesketh, and said there was nothing to do but to quash the indictments.— His Honor then informed the jury that tbe indictment was quashed, and they- were discharged.—The indictments in several other charges being also faulty, a nolle prosequi was entered by Crown Prosecution.. His Honor, addressing the prisoner, said the numerous indictments against him had been found faulty, the proper offences not having been stated. In some cases he had been acquitted, but in others a nolle prose qui had been entered by the Crown, who* thus reserved the power of pro ceeding against him on the same charges at some future time. He would now be discharged.—Prisoner then left the dock.

(Left sitting.)

DARING BURGLARY.

.Another daring burglary has been com mitted in our midst, this time Mr Henry Smith, fruit dealer, residing at Fountain streot, near Mount St. John, being the victim. On Saturday night last Mr Smith, accompanied by his wife, left the I.tcmuera Btation by the 7.15 train for Auckland. He returned by the 11.45 train the same even ing. On reaching home he was surprised to find one of the large front windows broken, and the front door, which had been locked from the inside, open. Hurrying at once to his bedroom he found that a drawer in which he usually kept his valuables had been smashed, evidently by an American axe, which was lying on the floor. The burglar had evidently first endeavoured to prize open the drawer with a carving knife, the broken fragments of which lay on the roof, A pair of tailor's scissors had also been used ineffectually. The drawer was smashed to fragments, and ■its contents were scattered about the room. The burglar helped himself to eight £1 notes, three half-sovereigns, and a shilling's worth of coppers. On a table adjacent was a lady's desk, which had also been rifled and though It contained a cheque for £3 and a watch, these articles had hot been touched, the burglar evidently too cautious to appropriate anything that might lead to his identification. Mr Smith immediately came to Parnell, and gave in formation of the robbery to Sergeant Jack son. Un Sunday, Constable Dewes pro ceeded to the scene of the rob bery, and made a thorough search, but nothiog was elicited that might lead to the detection of the burglar. The boy who delivers the STAR to the resi dents of Mount St, John states that on going his rounds on Saturday evening he noticed the window broken. This wou Id be about 9 o'clock. The nearest residence is that of Mr Burt, 20 yards away, but the residents heard nothing to awaken their suspicion. •

WELLINGTON, this day. The "Post" special from Pungarehu tele graphs that there is nothing fresh to-day in native affairs.

AUSTRALIAN SPORTING ITEMS.

Messrs Curcier and Adot have, on behalf of Messrs Krug and Co., Rheims, offered tho New South Wales Rowing Association a handsome prize, value 100 guineas, to be rowsd for by amateur scullers. It is said that Trump Yoss, prior to the Metropolitan, did a trial in 3mins 39secs, which made him a favourite at level money. Mr Conway, agent for the AU England Eleven, has received a letter from the organisers, stating that tbe team are now on the voyage to Australia, via America. The team cousists of Midwinter, Barlow, Pilliog, Shrewsbury, Shaw, Ullyett, Bates, Lockwood, Pcatc, Selby, Lillywhite, and Barnes or Gilbert. They play the New South Wales team in Sydney on the oth, 10th, and 12th December; and the Vic torian team in Melbourne on the ICtb, 17th, and 19th ot the same month.

The sensation of the week has been the advance ot Duchess for the Melbourne Cup, and she now rules as first favourite at 100's to 10. She is in Mr Wilson's stables, so that St. Albans can now boast of once more having the favourites for the Derby and Cup in hand.

On Saturday a commission came into tho market to back Duchess for the Melbourne Cup, and she was backed for about £10,000 at 100's to 5, and later on 100's to 8 were freely accepted. In the double—Derby and Melbourne Cup—Somerset and Duchess were backed from 1000's to 20 to 1000's to 25; and Duke and Duchess from 1000'a to 10 to 1000's to 15. Duchess is a bay mare, four years old, by the New Zealand horse, Manuka, from Princess, and is the property of Messrs Skene Brothers.

The Victorian Cricket Association on Monday night fixed the dates of the Inter* colonial Match with New South Wales for the 24th, 26th, 27th December; the return match on the 10th, 11th, and 13th of Feb ruary. It was also resolved, to play only one match with South Australia, the latter to have the choice of colony. At a meeting of the Queensland Cricket Association, it was resolved to endeavour to obtain promises for raising £100, and if successful an offer would be made to Mr Conway of a lump sum of £350 for the visit of the All-England Eleven. ! Savanaka and First Water are said to be doing excellent work at Adelaide, and if the first-named can be got back to bis best form, he must be amoi.g the hardest to beat for the Melbourne Cup, in which he has been allotted Bst. 71b. exactly the same weight he carried when he lowered Chester's colours at Randwick.

' The Victorian R. C. committee endorsed Mr Mayo's disqualification by the A. J. G, and further decided that Hesperian's nomi nation for tbe Melbourne Cup was in formal.

Michael Bush, the sculler, was enter tained at a dinner in Sydney. In respond ing to the toast of his health he said he now thought he was getting too old, and it was time ho dropped acquatics. He was now retiring, not as champion, although he thought a few weeks ago he would have held that title. Some of the public had said the race was a swindle, but he did not think so. The race was rowed in the fastest time on record, and on that day it would have been very hard to have beaten him. He supposed he had since fallen off. Laycock was certainly a great sculler, and he would not be afraid to meet him now, but he thought he had better knock off altogether.

The otner members of Committee expressed a general opinion that as summer was approaching tbey would prove ot little value. Leave of Absence. — An application for leave of absence, on the strength of a medical certificate as to the illness Of a teacher.gave rise to aome little discussion.—Mr Waymouth said It would be much more satisfactory were a medical man employed by the committee, to grant or refuse certificates in such cases, and so do away with the fee.' He was of opinion that at present any teacher could procure a medical certificate of iUhess, upon payment of a small amount.—The Chairman said he was satisfied with the validity of the certificate now in their hand, but at the Bamo time he agreed that it would be better if tbe committeo bad one res ponsible man to depend on.—The matter then dropped. The Dawson Case.—A discussion arose on a letter from Mr Worthington relative to bis re port to the committee upon this matter. An account of the proceedings will bo found among our locals.
