SAD SEA STORY.

Terrible Tale of Violence, Suffer.

ing and Death.

The caso of tho brig Agios Potros, a vessel sailing under British colours, with v Greek Captain and crew, is exciting siderable attention at Constantinople, since ' its arrival from the Black Sea. The terrible talc of violence, suffering, and death as told by its crew, aggravated-by the conduct of the Russian authorities at Batoum, has seldom been equalled, and is another case out of many of tho after-sufferings be queathed by the Russo-Turkish Avar to the inhabitants of the provinces in which it was waged. At the time of the capture of Souhoum Kale by the Turks, most of the Abkhasian inhabitants, whether Mussul mans or nominal Christians, looked upon the invaders as their deliverers, and made common cause with them. Later on, when the Turkish troops were obliged to abandon the place, their lleet was employed for many weeks iv carrying away to Turkish territory all the Abkhazians, amounting to about 40,000, who had reason to fear Russian vengeance. The 12,00 passengers, who crowded every available hole on board the Agios Petros, were of these Abkhasian Russian subjects, who dissatisfied with their lot in Turkey,'were desirous to return to their native country. On board the Agios Petros there was barely accommodation for 400 to 500 passengers, and yet a crowd of 1,200 persons including women and children, took forcible possession, of the ship. The nicii being all armed to the teeth, it was obviously im possible for the crew to offer any opposi tion. Abkhasians expected, moreover, that the vessel was to accommodate their cattle, their arabas, in fact all their belong ings, and it was only when they saw the utter impossibility of further crowding that they consented to leave their cattle behind. Soon after the departure of tlie ship the horrors of overcrowding began to be felt. Men and women sickened and died. The Abkhasians, having some superstitious dread of death occurring on board ship, proposed to throw tho dying as well as the dead overboard, and were with difficulty dissuaded from this act of cruelty by the crew of tho Agios Petros. Their arrival in a Russian port brought no relief to either passengers or crew. Although the captain at once reported to the Russian authorities the horrible state of his passengers and the terrorism exercised by them since they had come on board, no assistance was givon him und no attempt was made to establish order in a mob composed of Russian subjects. Tho Captain was forbidden to land his passengers, and, after some delay, his slap was towed into Turkish waters under escort 01 a Russian man-of-war, and, having landed his turbulent mob in a spot of their own selecting ho returned to Batoum, where lie and hisw-ew were made prisoners and their shin seized. The Russian authorities .sub sequently brought back the Abkliasituis to Batoum, but their inhumanity in the first instance, and the insult to the British Hag, have yet to be accounted for.

R.M. COURT.-Yesterday.

(Before J. E. Mac Donald, Esq., R.M.) SOMERFIELD AND LECK V. GEO. STAINES,

This was a claim of £12 lis Od, for goods supplied to defendant's wife. Messrs E. Hesketh and Lusk appealed ou behalf on plaintiffs, and Mr J. A. Tole for defendant.

Mr F. Hesketh, in opening the plaintiffs caso, saitl he would be[ablo to prove (1) that the person to whom the goods were sold is the defendant's wife; (2) that tbe goods were necessaries ; and (3) that the wife bad implied authority to purchase goods. It was true that Mrs Staines was absent from her husband's house, but he would be able to shew that she was obliged to leave because of his cruelty. He would show the Court that defendant nearly starved his wifo; that he kept her without clothing; that she was at times destitute of bare necessaries for her subsistence ; that defendant threatened her, taunted her, and used to her foul, improper, and lillhy language, repeated over and over again. By reason of this conduct the defendant compelled his wife to leave his house. When she did leave his house she had actually not clothes of her own, and hud been obliged to wear clothes belonging to others tor weeks together. She was actually wearing borrowed cloth ing eveu at the preseut time. Boots also had to be lent to her. The articles pur chased by Mr Staines were therefore absolntclyuecessaryifor her, and it would be shown that they wore suitable to her posi tion iv life. AVhen theso goods were pur chased she directed that they should be sent to the dressmaker to bo made up, and the invoice was sent to the defendant. And more thau that they had a child, and he should be able to show that this child suffered very seriously in consequence of the conduct of the defendant, in conse quence of the defendant interfering the child was not properly attended to. His Worship here interposed and said he hoped the learned counsel was not open ing up anything which he would not be in a position to adduce evidence to prove. Mr Hesketh replied that he had the necessary evidence. He would be in a (position to prove that at one time when the child was taken ill and his wife wanted to procure a doctor, the defendant refused, telling her that she might wrap it in a shawl and take it to the doctor. Siio took the child to a doctor, and was told that it was dying The child died next morning. The only thing the defendant did not do was to raise his hand to his wife ; everything else but that he did, and she was ultimately compelled to leave the house because of his cruelty. If necessary, he would also be able to prove that defendant had a special reason for getting rid of his wife, and (further) would be able to shew that de fendant brought another woman into the house, who wa.s objectionable to his wife, on the day of the funeral, and that the woman dressed the child for the funeral He (defendant) had continued this kind of conduct for four years, and Mrs Staines could not bear his cruelty, abuse, and foul language auy longer. He hoped, for defendant's sake, that such was not true, but these, he was informed, were tho facts.

Mr Frederick Somerficld deposed that he was oue of the plaintiffs iv the action. Remembered goods beinjj supplied to Mis Staiues. Mrs Staines bad goods from him before on several occasions, but generally paid cash for them. Know Mr George Staines, and charged him for the goods supplied to his wife. He was sure the goods were supplied. Was told so by his porter. Mr Staines said his wifo always paid cash for ber goods. Had no objection to trust defendant to the extent of £29. Ho did not know that they were not living together. About two days afterwards the defendant gave notice that he would not be liable for the debt contracted.

Mrs Mary Jnne Staines, being sworn, deposed that she was the wife ot the de fendant, George Staines. InJanuary'lastjshe made several purchases at Somerfield and Leek's establishment in Queen-street. The goods purchased by her were described on the invoice. The purchases consisted of atticles ot clothing for her self. She had not been provided with proper clothing by tlio defendant. She directed that the goods should be sent to Madame Le Griffin's. Told the seller to apply to Mr George Staines for payment. Was not living with her husband nt that date. They were seperated on the first of January. Mr Staines was a broker and wns possessed of means consisting of lands, houses, and stock. He had houses in the city, and land outside. Since she became his wife defendant had followed his private business. He derived his income from rent and this business. On the first of January they separated ; her husband would give her no allowance. During the child's lifetime, lie told her several times that she must leave the house. She replied that he was cruel and that she would stay. Ho never allowed her anything for house keeping. The only money she ever had during her married life to do what she liked with was £1 which her husband threw on the table, saying it was more than she deserved. She had had two dresses during the four years. Mr Staines went out in the morning and did not return until after 9 and 10 p.m., and never brought provisions. On several occasions he was unable to take his dinner, and lay down to sleep. When she had food in tho house, she always gave it to him. Mr Staines had offered her two or three ponce at diflerent (times to make purchases. She had often to borrow food and clothing from neighbours. There was one child issue of the marriage, which was in very delicate health. When she was confined, the defendant objected to her having a doctor, and assented to do with a nurse. When the child was ill witness told the de fendant that the doctor ought to be sent for. The defendant said, " No ; it was only her teeth." He said witness might take the child to a doctor. She wrapped the child in a shawl and took it to Dr. Keiulerdine. Dr. Kenderdinc was very angry that the child should be brought out in its then state, lie said it was dying, and the child did die next morning. The defendant once accused her of being extravagant, the reason given being that there wore three candles alight in tlie house. She had only two dresses made her in four years, and was obliged to borrow clothing from her cousin, Miss Jolly. Sho was wearing some of these borrowed things at tho present time. She also had to borrow boots. She swore most positively that sho never had on any previous occasion pledged her husband's credit, except on one occasion when he allowed her to order a few pounds of butcher's meat, which he would pay for as ho passed. She had always endeavoured to be economical. Mr Staines brought a woman named Mrs Havnes into the house, and witness ob jected. On the day of the funeral, Mrs Havnes went into the room of tho de fendant to dress him for the funeral. When she left defendant's house she had not a shilling. Wa.s formerly a school mistress, and intended to go back to teach ing as a means of living. She required an outfit, and what she ordered was absolutely necessary. She had silk and other dresses when she married Mr Staiues. She ordered silk for best dress. The defendant had locked witness out of.the house, and called her the foulest names. Once he ordered herself and sick child out of bed, and into another room. He said he would kick her b neck downstairs. To Mr Tole : Even the daughter of Mrs Haynes remonstrated with Staines for the manner in which ho had spoken to his wife. She admitted that she had ordered a hat und bonnet at McLachlan's. Staines was sometimes not in a lit state to speak to when he came home at night, and she would swear she did everything to make him com fortable. Mrs Staines further stated the language used by her husband on several occasions, which we deem unfit for publication. The case was then adjourned until Tues day next, when a huge number of witnesses on both sides are to bo examined, and sonic startling relcvatioiis arc promised.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The adjourned fortnightly meeting of the Board of Education took place this after noon, toe following members being present: Messrs J. Mi Clarke (chairman), F. L. Prime, S. Luke, F. J. Mdss, and T. Peacock.

Training college Regulations. — The following letter on this subject was received from the City School Committee : "Sir,—l have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of youra of the Bth inst, for warding for the opinion of the Com mittee on certain clauses of the Regulations prepared by the Board for the working of the Training Collcgo and Practising School '.In leply lam directed to you the following resolution adopted by (he Com mittee :—Having earnestly considered the Herniations of the Training College and Practising School drafted by the Board and referred to this Committee, they beg to submit to the Board their opinion that the Regulations do not clearly define the rela tive positions of the Principal of the Normal School, who is responsible for the success aud the management ot chat school as a public school. The responsibility of the Principal aud tho Hoad Master being diverse, their aims and pur pose in the management of their respec tive Departments must naturally differ and lead to a collision unless tho Regulations clearly define the extent and tho limits of this necessarily divided authority. The Committee agree with the Board that tho Principal of the Normal Sohool should have a general supervision over the Practising School, but only to the extent that its uso as a "Practising School" requires such supervision, with due regard to the charac ter of the school as a ■' public school," that is, that such supervision should only extend as far as the school is used ns a Practising School without colliding with tho duties and the authority of the Head Master of the Practising School, inas much as we must bo held responsible for its success ns a public school. This Com mittee deem it necessary lo express to the Board its conviction that owing to the vague nnd undefined character of the Regulations, serious differences inuy arise between the principal of tho Training College and the master of tho Welles loy-strcet school, iv pursuance of their respective aims and purpose which differ ences would materially weaken tho effi ciency of tlio school as a public school. The Committee heartily sympathising with the object the Board has in view in tho establishment of a Training College, and dcsiious of throwing no obstacles in the way of realis ing this object, have no objection that Wellesley-street School should be used as a Practising School, provided the (Jonimittce retains lull control thereof as a pubic school, surrendering to the Board none of the rights vested in tho Com mittee by the Act. Tho Com mittee havo no desire to iuterfero botween tho Headmaster of the Practising School and the Principal of the College unless the efficiency of Wellesley-strcct school as a public school wore to suffer by its uso as a Practising School; in which case they would deem it their duty to do their ut most to reorganise the relative positions of tho two establishments, or to sever such relatiouship and revert to the present position.—l havo etc., William Gorrie, Chairman of Committee."— The Clniirmuu moved " That the Executive Committee bo iuatructed to confer with a sub-Committee from tho City School Com mittee and report tho result to another meeting of the Board." lt seemed to him that the differences between the two bodies on the question were so very slight that there could be no dilliculty in comiug to au agreement if they meet face to face.—Tlie motion on being put to the meeting was unanimously passed. Legal Proceedings.— A letter was received from Messrs J. Newman and J. Wayniouth, stating that as the Board had held their nomination for election to tho vacant seats to be informal, they had taken a legal opinion ou the subject, and that if their solicitor so advised them they would be prepared to carry tho matter into the Supreme Court. Sir William Fox's Prizes.—A com munication was received from the Rev. Mr Habeas (Inspector-General of Schools) on this subject. The writer stated that no subject had yet been made for the distribution of these temperance prizes, but that when the examinations were fixed, that for the Auckland district would take place in the city. A memo, from the Inspector statetl that the whole thing was objectionable. By agreeing to any such arrangement as that referred to, the Board would be obliged to abandon the position which it had taken up with regatd to tho Temperance book, the course of instruction would be interfered with, and the minds of the teachers would be unsettled. —It waa agreed, ou the Chairman's proposition, that a reply should be returned in accordance with the luspector'3 memo. Mode of Conducting Business.—A letter from tbe Aratapu Committee in re gard to the recent election had boen read, and a motion upon it was beiug put when Mr Moss inquired the nature oi tho conimunicaturc.— The Chairman said he thought such a question was hardly fair at that stage of the discussion. The gentl »nion should have been paying attentio_,—Ml Moss, in reply, took exception to the method which the Board had of conducting its public business. The members, ho said, were embarrassed with detail, while large ques tions wero rushed through with great haste, and what was the result ? The Board was continually getting into scrapes, out of , which it had to extricate itself with a more ' or less loss of dignity. These matters would be better discussed at greater length.

A BALTIMORE SENSATION.

An Unnatural Father Permits the Marriage of a Brother and Sister.

Baltimore, Jan. 7. TllK details of a most remarkable marriage were brought to light here to-day by an application made to Governor Hamilton for the pardon of one Thomas Bowen, of Cal vert County, who is now undergoing a sentence in the State House of Correction for six years. Bowen, who is the owner of a farm of 875 acres in the county named, was sentenced in the Circuit Court of Calvert County on November 12th last, his offence being the bringing about of a marriage between his son Enoch Bowen, aged 23, and his daughter Ella Bowen, aged 17 years. The case at the tune of the trial was not published in the Calvert County papers at the solici tation of Bowen's friends, who arc very influential, and consequently the particu lars of his unnatural crime have never been made public. Thomas Bowen, who, ns in dicated above, is a moderately wealthy man, prior to September 18 last was a respected and influential citizen of Prince Frederick, Calvert County. He was the leader of the choir and a deacon in the Methodist Church at that place, and was looked upon as a man of high moral character. From the testimony taken at the timo of his trial, it appears that about 23 years ago Bowen was intimate with a young woman in Calvert County, and it soon be came evident that she was about to become a mother. Bowen, at her earnest solicita tion, and probably dreaming an expose, married her a few weeks before her son Enoch was born. The mother died in child-birth, .and the father took charge of the infant, whom he raised and educated as the son of an old friend. About six years later Bowen married the daughter of a respectable resi dent of Calvert County, by whom he had one child, a daughter, Ella. Tho latter, as she grew to womanhood, developed un usual beauty and grace, and Enoch, who was living in the family, naturally became smitten with her charms. The father, on becoming aware of the position of affairs, was greatly alarmed, and sought to break oil' the engagement already existing be tween the young couple. He intimated to the young man that some mysterious reason existed for the marriage not taking place, whereupon the lover demanded an explanation. The elder Bowen refused to clear away the mystery, when he was greatly terrified by Enoch declaring that he intended to engage detectives and investigate his (Enoch's) career since his birth, in order to iind out the trouble. Bowen, dreading an exposition of his escapade with Enoch's mother, soothed the hitter's suspicions, and Anally gave a reluctant consent to the marriage. The ceremony was performed September 18th by the Rev Joseph P. Wilson, pastor of tho church of which the elder Bowen was a member.

It transpired, however, that Bowen had not succeeded in covering'his tracks. A young man who had also been a suitor for Miss Bowen's hand suspected that there wns a mystery about Enoch, and re membereda rumour as to the hitter's parent age, which had been in circulation several years before. He instituted inquiries, dis covered the record, of the marriage of Thomas Bowen to Enoch's mother, the infant's birth, and finally Mra Bowen's death. Having thus establised beyond a doubt the fact tliaWßowcn had allowed his own son and daughter to marry, the infuri ated lover caused the arrest of the un

natural father., As stated, Bbwcri was tried ; convicted and sentenced to/ the House of Correction, and it is with thO 110-ie of being realised on the grounds of ill health that his application for pardon has been lilcd. The all'air caused great in dignatitin in the community, and there was some talk of lynching the elder Bowen. As soon as the facts in the ease became known, Enoch Bowen antl his sister separated. The latter will become a mother in six months, and her attending physician has little hopes of her surviving the trial, as her entire nervous and mental system is prostrated by the shock of the terrible discovery.
