SUPREME COURT. —Yesterday concluded.

Criminal Sittings. /Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) LAKCENV. Tho Crown Prosecutor said that in the case of the foreigners who were charged with gum-stealing, he had to ask the indulgence of the Court, as the French interpreter who hud beeu engaged had so interested himself iv the prisoners as to render it expedient that another one should be engaged. The socond one had not yet arrived. Mr Peltzor (the interpreter alluded to as having interested himself in the prisoners), explained that the prisoners had sent him v statement of their defence written iv French with the request that he would translate it into English for them. That was the only way in which he had been inter ested in them. Mr DuPerrot arrived soon after, and was sworn in as interpreter. .lean Dapremout, Picrro Ricard and Otto Biji Giovanni were then charged with having, on the Bth Jnuuary, ISSI, stolen S5 cwt. and 1 quarter of kauri gum belonging John Foster. There was a further count against Pierre Picard for receiving the stolen goods. The prisoners freely exercised the right of challenge by objecting to no less than live or six of the jurors who were called. A pica of " not guilty " was returned to the charge. The circumstances of the case as dis closed by the evidence were as follow: — On tbe Bth January last, Henry Bradley, a carter in the employ of Mr Johu Foster, storekeeper,of Kumcu Flat, at the direction of bis master conveyed eight sacks of kauri gum marked J. F. to the Rivcrheml rait way station, where he deposited them iv the ovening on tho platform. On the ful lowiug morning Frederick Moore, a railway guard, found five bags of gum at the station aud Borne distance up the line discovered some moto gum pattly secreted. On being apprised the same day that three bags of gum were missing, Mr Naughton, the station - master, went in search of the gum and succeeded in discovering deposits at various places along the railway line. These plants were unearthed from time to time up till the night of the ISthof January. At 10 o'clock on tho night of the 18th, the station-master was in the telegraph ollice, when he heard the voices of persons passing dowu the line towards the railway station. He wont out and saw that there were three men going up the line towards Helensville. Be followed them until the place where tome gum had been fuuud was reached. He heard and recognised tho voice of Giovanui, and also heard the sound of gum being handled. Having procured nssistanco, lie wout up to "the place ; found a quantity ot scraped gum and saw men's figuies against the sky as they ran away up the line. They pursued and caught the men, whom they found to be the prisoners. They had with them two handkerchiefs filled with gum which were taken from them. The station-maater arrested the men ova charge of larceny, and Giovanni having in terpreted the charge to his companions they were taken to the railway station, where they were detained until Constable Naugh ton arrived from Helensville, when they were given into his custody. The cou stable afterwards searched the prisoners' whares, where quantities of gum were found in thoso belonging to Dapremont and Gioranni; also, au empty sack, with the lot'crs JF branded upon it. Foster identi fied tho sacks and the gum, and Frank Camille, a comrade of the prisoners, gave evidence as to being shewn by Giovanni a heap of gum alongside the railway line, and told to take some if he liked.

At 7 o'clock the Court adjourned for half an hour.

On resuming, prisonershanded in a written defence, which the interpreter (Dv Perrot) translated into English, but the translation not bsing quite intelligible, His Honor translated it to the jury. Mr Peltzcr also translated one of the papers. Tbe general purport of the defence was that Camille had perjured himself, and that he was au accom plice—that his proper place was the dock, and not the witness-box.

At 10.15 the jury retired, and at 10.40 they returned into Court, finding Dapre mont and Giovanni "guilty," and Picard "not guilty." Dapremont said that if the interpreter had been able for bis duties, und not merely an imperfect interpreter, he would have been acquitted. His Honor, in passing sentence, remarked that the facts were too eloquent for such an excuse to avail.

A sentence of 18 mouths' imprisonment ■with hard labour was inflicted upon Dapremont and Giovauni, while Picard was discharged.

The Court then rose,

THIS DAY.

ALLEGED RAPE,

Thomas Codlin, apparently a half-caste rather than a full-blooded Maori, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with hnviDg, at Mercury Bay on the 10th January last, committed a rape upon a married woman, named Mary Anne Mc- Neish.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Tyler appeared lor the defence. The Crown Prosecutor having opened the ease, called Mary Ann McNeish, wife of William McNeish, a gum-pscker. She deposed that in January last she waa residing with her husband at Gumtown, Mercury Bay. He was working for the proprietor of the Waiwawa Hotel during that month. On the night of the 10th of January her husband left home a little after 7 o'clock for the hotel in order to learn where he had to go on the following day. She was left in the house alone. Aftor remaining there for more than an hour she went out as far as Mrßloxsome's Btore(which is situated about midway between her house and the hotel) in the hope of moeting her husband. She opeued the door of the store and entered, finding there tho prisoner, Jamos Smith, and James Bloxsome, the unmarried one ot the brothers Bloxsome. She knew tbe prisoner by eight, and had spoken to him ence in her husbaud's presence. He and Smith were eating oysters, and the prisoner asked her to have some. She declined, and the prisoner then otlered hor a box of sardines, which she accepted. A general conversation was going on all the time. The men had been drinking, but they were not the worse for liquor. After a stay of ten minutes she left the store, on her way horae, and as it was rain ing slightly she ran slowly. While running along she heard footsteps behind her, and turning round she saw the prisoner chasing her. Thinking it ouly a piece of fun on his part she quickened her pace, but he overtook and caught hold of her round the waist. He then made improper overtures lo her, and upon her refusing them and struggling to get free, he threw her to the ground and perpetrated the crime. She Jainted a little, and on recovering called cut for help, besides renewing the struggle. At last she managed ti free herself, and leaving him on the ground she ran away towards the hotel. She found her hus band thero and told him of tho assault. He accompanied her home and then after taking off his coat went away aßain. On the following day she shewed the bruises which theprisonerhadinflicted upon her to a Maori woman. She had given the prisoner no encouragement, and no im proper talk bad been indulged in at the store, To Mr Tyler :—On entering the store she went behind the counter because the man Smith had said that he wanted tospeok with her privately. Sho told him that she wanted no private conversation with him. Mr Bloxsome bad not his trousers off. She did not cry out while struggling with the pris oner before he succeeded in throwing her; why, she did not know except that he had taken away her breath. She did not tell her husband that a rape had been committed upon her, but merely that she had been insulted worse that night by Codlin than sho had thought she ever would be in her life. Five days aiterwards she told Constable Kelly ol the rape. Codlin aud her husband had been on the best of terms. She did not go to the constable, for he lived seven miles away, but he came ot her nnd enquired about the matter. She had been matried five months. Previously she had lived in the Southern Wairoa, and she had had an illegitimate child there. An inquest was held upon its dead body in Jannary, 1880. She was not known as a lewd, loose woman, and the prisoner had never previously taken auy liberties with her. Henry Bloxsome corroborated the last witness' statement as to what had taken place in the store. He further said that in consequence of Smith pulling ber about in order to whisper in her ear she ran behiud tbe counter where witness was standing with only his shirt on. Ho had been called out of bed to attend his customers. William McNeish, husband of the first witness, deposed that from what his wife told him when she called for him at the hotel, he understood that an indecent assault had been committed upon her, but ho did not then know that it was a rape. He told a number of men that it had not gone so far as that. After taking her home, he went in search of the prisoner, and, upon finding him, asked

■ / him if it was truo that he had assaulted j " tbo missua." The p'isoncr replied " No; it is not true," and then, saying that witnoss wanted to have a smack at him, he " hauled off," and let witness have it in the eye. He then " slewed rouud," aud went away in the direction of the hotel. 1 .thin (Marid) Tinipoaka, a young Maori woman, deposed that on the 11th January she went, to tlie house of Mrs McNeish fur the purpose of asking her to g.) with her for peaches. Mrs McNeish said she was 11, told witiusi of the occurrence of the previous night, besides shewing a bruise ou her left arm and some mud on her dress Constable Kelly stated that in conse quence of hearing at Mercuiy Bay that, a woman had been lavished at Grahmstown, he proceeded thither, and learnt from Mrs McNeish the particulars of the all'air, He thereupon arrested the prisoner upon Ihe ' picsciit charge. This was the caso for the prosecution. Mr Tyler said that hc'liad five witnesses in attendance, but after the admissions made by Mr ticskcth and the turn the case had taken, he did not think it necessary to call more than two of them. Thomas Brady, cook at tho Waiwawa Hotel, wo., thou examined. His evidence was to the effect that when his Miss Mc- Neish came the hotel on the night of tho 10th January, she did not appear excited, while there was nothing in her manner to occasion remark. James Smith was also called but did not appear. Mr Tyler thca addressed the jury for the defence. TRUE BILLS. The Grand Jury found true bills against John Sutherland, breaking and entering; Alfred John Warner, horse stealing; and James Forrest 8011, embezzlement. Edwin limit Jaggcr, four charges of forgery; John Purcell, four charges of uttering, nnd two indictments for breaches of the fraudulent debtors act. As this com pleted the list the Grand Jury were thanked by His lienor and discharged from further attendance.

(Left sitting.)

MADAME WILMOT AT COURT.

An incident quite unexampled, we feci as sured, in the annals of our local temples of justice, took place this morning in the Supreme Court, iv connection with tho hearing of tbe charge of rape preferred against Thomas Codlin. After the indict ment had been read over, the usual order was given for all women and children to leave and io remain out ot hearing. Some took the hint and departed, but two ladies remained upon the beueli immediately behind tho press box. One of them was a Maori,and the other a European lady, well bejewelled, and wearing a heavy veil, who subsequently turned out to bo Madame Lotti Wilmot, the lecturess. Attention having been directed to their continued presence, the Court-crier requested them to withdraw, aud they did to, rather reluc tantly, it seemed. Immediately aftetwards the Crown 1 rosccutor received a message from Madame Wilmot asking that she might bo allowed to ro-euter and remain in tbe Court as a special reporter, but he took no further notice of the unusual request. The case then proceeded, and tlie lengthy exaroiuation of tbe first witness (Mra McNeish) had all but finished, when it was Btated that a woman was sitting at the end of tlio gallery upstairs, partly concealed behind one of tho arched but tresses of tlio building. All eyes were turned in the indicated direction, and the intruder stood revealed. It was the irrepres sible lecturess. Mr Brooklield remarked that this was a case for the adoption of the course pursued on a similar occasion by Baron Cresswell. That learned judge once directed that all tespectable women should leave the Court, and that all others who remained should be expelled. The power of expulsion would now have to be resorted to. As the lady still maintained her seat the crier waa ordered to remove her and lock the door of the gallery. The oflicer left ou his errand, aud a hush of expectation ensued. In a moment or two he made his appearance in the gallery, aud crossing over to tbo half con cealed and veiled figure, held a whis pered consultation with it. Tho lady at length rose slowly and after au ineffectual ell'ort to engage the crier ia conversation, left the gallery wheu the door was shut aud bolted after her. The hearing of ovideuce was tbeu continued.

CHAMPION SCULLER RACE.

Hanlan v. Lagcock,

The wind was blowing nearly half a gale, but as it was from the south-east and ou the back ot tha tide the suriace of the river was comparatively smooth, aud tho fores ot the flood increased. At a quarter past two o'clock both men were at the starting boat ready to conißicr.ee the contest, two pilot cutters being in atteudance, George Dtewctt, of Chelsea, being in the bows of one to direct the coutse of Hanlan, while Edward Trickctt, of Sydney, oiliciaied in a like manner for Laycock. Hanlan, who had won the toss, took the Middleaex stake boat, with his opponent on his right hand ; but as a matter of fact there was little to chooso between the stations, as tho boats were moored well out in the strength of the tide. At twenty-five minutes past two o'clock they got away by mutual couseut, starting very steadily, and Baulan, who sculled thirty-live strokes during the first minute to the thirty-eight of Laycock, at once commeuced to forge ahead, and half way between the Star and Oartcr aud Simmond's boatyard was nearly iclear of hi. adversary, and sculliug with apparent ease, though he did not clear the water with bis sculls as well as he used to do. Between Simmeud's yard and the London boathouae Hanlan had increased his lead to two lengths, a length of daylight intervening between the two boats as they passed tho upper end of the club-house, and shouts were already raised on board the steamers that tho race was as good as over. Half way up the concrete wall, Hanlan, having taken the measure of his oppoueut, slackened hia stroke to thirty-two, while Laycock was still doing thirty-six, aod at Craven Cottage the Cauadiau was upwards of 24 lengths in advance. Just beyond the little creek at the upper end of the Cottage garden he had increased his advantage to three lengths, and looked rouud as he opened out Crab Tree Beach to see what the water was like. Half way between Craven Cottage and the Grass Wharf laycock pulled his left hand, and thus early commenced to make over for the Surrey side of the river. By doing this he caught sight of Hanlan and quickened up to 37 strokes a minute, but tho Cauadiau was not to be hurried, and though he was only pulling 30 strokes a minute the speed ot his boat did not tall off, and he reached the One Tree, a mile irom the Aqueduct, in 4min. 48sec, Usee, in advance of the Australian. Just below tbe Soapworks, Laycock, encouraged by tbe shouts of the people on the bank and the factory hands, redoubled his exer tions, aud foi a moment or two it soemed as if he was actually gaining on Haulan : After passing the Soapworks Wharf, however, there was a change the Canadian drawing away again. Hanlan still kept in front aud r cached the bridge in 9min3. 19secs. about two lengths or a trifle more in advance of the Australian, whose time was some 9secs, or Bsecs. slower. After passing through the bridge, Lavcock, being on the inside, had the shorter course and he gained a little on the leader, loud shouts being raised by the crowd on tbe tow-path shore, who thought lie was going to row his opponent down. At Biffou'a Boatyard, however, Hanlan, who was laughiug, again increased his lead to threo lengths, and opposite the Doves stopped foi a second or two and looked round to sco if ' tbe course was clear. From this it was quite evident that he was sculling well within himself, .and though Laycock i spurted he did not decrease the lead of the Canadian, who quickening up to thirty-two strokes a minute to the thirty-four of his opponent, was still three lengths in ad vance at the Oil Mills. Here Layonck, remembering that it was about this spot that he had rowed down some of his oppo nents in his former matches, spurted, but Hanlan without any effort kept away, and odds of 100 to 2 were offered ou him. Pass ing Chiswick Eyot, Laycock was rowing thirty-four strokes a minute to Han lan's thirty, but the latter not only had the speed of his opponent but could evidently stay better, and it was clear th it the race was now virtually over, as he kept his lead without any difficulty. Chis wick Church wns passed by the Canadian iv 14min. 54sec. with a lead of nearly four lengths, Laycock's time being lOsec slower. In Horse Reach tbe Canadian, sculling thirty strokes a minute, kept well in front, and though he had to stop to consider whether be should go inside or outside of a stream of barges which were being towed up river opposite the Bull's Head,he reached Barnes Bridge in 21 mill. 13sec, upwards of three length or Usee, in advance of Laycock. After passing the bridge the Cauadiau drew rapidly away, being nearly six lengths ahead at too Limes, but he then eased up and ultimately passed the winning post in 25min. 41sec, four lengths in ad

vance of the Australian, according to the decision of Mr J. Moore, the Judge. The result of the race was quite in accord ance with the previous practice of the scullers, and Laycock though he sculled with great pluck and determination, had no chance against his more skilful opponent. The latter now becomes the absolute owner of the Challenge Cup presented by the proprietors of the "Sportsman."

CORRESPONDENCE.

PONSONBY REGATTA.

(To the Editor.)

Slit, —Some misapprehension exists with respect to the actiou of the Ponsonby Bo gat'ta Committee in altering the classifica tion ot the open boats for the forthcoming Regatta. A paragraph in your paper a few days ago is calculated to create an impres sion that Mr Halitead has been badly used by the Committee, an opinion not supported by facts. A reference to last year's measure ments will prove the flattie May to bo only 14i feet according to the measurement rule. This not having been altered in the interim it appears somewhat remarkable she should now be flint out from tho race for boats under 18 foet, a fact for which tho Commit, tee cau hardly be ocuisiderod responsible. In arriving at the present classification the Committee took into consideration the dimensions of all the open boats which have taken part in the various Regittas during the last two years, and classed them to the best of their judgment, so as to give the best sport and most satisfaction to all con cerned without regard to individual inte rests.—lam, &c, PO .

AN ITALIAN BARQUE LOST.

Fourteen Men Drowned.

New York, March 4. The Brooklyn "Eagle" says :—A terrible marine catastrophe took place off Coney island to-day. Tho first great wreck in the history of the bench occurred during the sevei c storm which burst on the coast from the northeast last evening. The Italian bark Aj»ce, in ballast from Antwerp to New York, with a partial cargo of kerosene barrels, became water-logged last night off Rockaway beach, The crew numbered fifteen men, including tbe Captain. When it became evident that the bark could not be saved a panic took place among the crew. Captain Morice tried his best to keep the men under discipline, but was unable. Heavy seas broke over the vessel, washing the men one by oue from the wreck. Four of the men, in despair, against the earnest expostulations of the captain, committed suicide by cutting their throats, and their bodies wero washed overboard. Tho io maiuder of tho crew, with the exception of one man who alone remains to tell the dreadful nows, became gradually exhausted aud were washed overboard and lost. The bark first struck Rockaway shoals. The wreck gradually broke up, and the poop deck, cabin-house, and one mast were first seen this morning about 4 o'clock, off Man gattan beach at a distance of two miles aud a half. The life-station crew went to the wreck and rescued the only survivor. He could speak English very imperfectly. He have his name as Peter Solace, and told tho utory of the disaster. The poop deck came ashore about 100 yards cast of Engeman's pavilion.

' t\S' the maKiugoi books there is no end," s \_P wrote an inspired author in the infancy of _, the world, thousands ot years before the art pre- S aorvatlvo ofall arts waa dißcovered. But book ,. making novi' is a vory diiterent thing from ,f what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned hia word of wi3dom on papyrus. _ Indeed, now a-days the -world is almost ** em „ barraa df a rechosaea "of learning, " quaint and t olden" and bright and new, embalmed in - books. And much of this learning is liberally ? supplied by modern publishora, such as Caesell, , Pettor and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a ■ legion of others. Not only aro tho works " issued by theto firms of the highest practioal use, but they are sent out in handßome exteriors, ' illustrative of the remarkable progress that has beon made in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You car form a good idea of a man from his library The great difficulty with many in obtaining - bookn of a high class in nearly every depart "" ment of literature Is the almost prohibitive prici at which they are iaaued from tho pross, and i -• is really a boon to society when works o ' admitted excellence are brought within thi reach of persbua of moderate means by tin admirable System of Time Payments.
