Tor tha causa that lacks osslitanc*. Wot the wrong that ueedi ruistisc* For the future In the.distance. And tba good that we can do.

Notwithstanding tho low price realised for tlio Matmtra's last cargo of fiozcn meat, the New Zealand Shipping Company are making *xtensive preparation!) in anticipation of a large export, The Opawa will load at Lyttelton, the Mataura at Napier, and tho City of Perth or Piako at Invercargill. Messrs Shaw, Savill and Co.* not to be behind-hand, arc fitting up the Lady Jocelyn to load at Wellington, and the Sorrento at Port Chalmers, A ship is net yet proposed for Auckland, but no doubt one will bo forthcoming, whenever the Waikato farmers are ready to oiler a shipment. There can bo ho doubt now that this colony will become a permanent compotitor in the English meat markets, and experience will soon teach shippers what class of «tock is best adapted ior export. The fault of tha Mataura's shipment was tho fatness of the mutton. We learn by the last mail that the importance and prominence of the fresh meat trade with tho colonies has obtained full recognition, Ver'V. extensive dry air refrigerating -"tl'-'pf to serve as a depdt for the tw,J{2 i S ibt°h igM^rKSSifi! fthnut tit produce, &c, are ?. ~ -uu opened iv connection with JJ&. "market" which the Great Eastern 'liailwsy is constructing under the Shore ditch railway station. This depdt will be available for all kinds of produce, whether from home, or from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or elsewhere. A London paper says : "The market is just now bare of frozen meat, but a large quantity is expected by the Austral. The 4,393 carcases of mutton and 40 quarters of beef, per Lueitauia, were disposed of in a very short time. The mutton was in excellent order, and realised 6d. and GJd, per lb. The beef, which also was good, made CJd, for hind quarters, and s^d, for foie quarters. Tho Orient ship ment wai duly closed at rates equivalent to those previously reported. The ship ment per Sorrento did not make satisfac tory progress, and it U stated that a large quantity of her beef was condemned." The market is an unlimited one, and between the low prices of meat in the colonies, and the extravagant rate ruling in England, there is an amount of play which precludes the chance of failure if the meat canonly belanded infair condition, and supplied regularly. The establishment of refrigerating stores in London will go a long way towards steadying the price and regulating the market, and the possibility of landing fresh meat in first-class order has already been so thoroughly proved that its delivery with unfailing regularity is now a mere question of time, being dependent solely upon the correction of those little mistakes which are insepar able from the inauguration of a new enter* prise.

F. S. Igoe, Parncll, writes complaining that the police have retained possession of a watch, chain, and locket, decided by the .Resident Magistrate in oar correspondent's favour twelve days ago, and that seven ap plications to difl'erent members of (lie Police J?orce have resulted only in perpetual re quests to "call again." Our corres pondent should lay the matter before the Resident Magistrate, nnd we have no doubt Mr Mncdooald will see that any grievance he has will be set right,

At the auction eale of the estate of C, G. Quick, Esq., North Shore, held yesterday at Mr Geb. Sibbin's Auction Mart, only a few allotments were Bold at £4, £3 3s, and £3 per foot. A few stringent clauses read out in tlje terms of Eale about vendors' rights, which cast'doubts on the title, though tho title is indisputable, hindered several good buyers from purchasing, and discouraged others. The remaining allot ments are now open for private, sale at the rooms of the auctioneer at auction prices.

The monthly inspection of the Victoria Rifle Volunteers was held last evening in ,the DrUl-ebed. The men mustered freely, about 50 members of the ranks aud the officers beiog in attendance.

>. Our Tonga correspondent writes :—" The John Wesley brought down the President of the new Government c.liege. It is expected the new college hall will be opened in a few weeks; it will be one of the finett buildings in Tonga. Last time the John Wesley, alias John Whisky, was here, a large amount ot spirits, etc., were seized by the Government—being smuggled ashore. " This time she hns been on her best behaviour. It the Wesloyan Mis sionary Society only knew what an icjury the retaining of the name of the vessel is I doing the cause of missions, they would 1 moat certainly alter it immediately."

The necessity for additional wharf ac commodation was brought under the notice of the Harbour Board yesterday afternoon by the local mauoger of the Union Steam ship Company, tie stated that it was the intention of the company which he repre sented to increase the steam service cm the East Const by <it least two additional steamers, and aa berthing convenieuces were absolutely necessary in order to carry on the service successfully, he.trust d the Board would provide what was necessary. Ho added that the Northern .Steamship Company purposed running nn additional boat to Whannaiei, and that as the boat traffic increased, the want of accommoda tion would be serionsly felt. In order that

the matter might receive due considera tion, it was referred to the Works aud En dowment Committee. Tho pilot service question was before the Harbour Board again yesterday afternoon, and gavo rise to some discussion, Are port was submitted by the examiners <-f the candidates, to the uilcct tliat in theK opinion Captain K. MiLeod had not suiticient experience as to large vessels and steamers, while Captain Saiuty brought up his certificate* and refused to oe examined.

The qucatiou of the abolition of com pulsory pilotage wan referred to the com mittee for consideration, and it was n^ed that, pending oniplction of the arrange ments now under consideration the cer vices ot the present pilots bo retained.

The open-sailing boat Leon broke adrift this afrcrnoon, and came up aguinat the reclamation wall near the SUortland Saw mill Cos. shed. Several youutf fellows were trying to capsize her to fill her with water when one named Hidings fell in and had a narrow cscnpa from drowning He was rescued after edihc little dilliculty by v companion, and placid ashore. Writing under date of September 18, oar Tonga correspondent says:—"We have had a serious nccidoot here which nearly proved fatal. Tlis wife of thu We-deyau minister, Mrs Maulton, trod on avail, and lockjaw or tetanus set in almost imme diately. For several days she wai in the greatest danger, but, tlmuks to the Kcv. S. W.

A remarkable demand for building allot ments aud villa sections at Devonport appears to have sprung up within tho hut two or three weeks. Several line estates nro now Being surveyed and cut up for sale, aud land in tho dis.rlct is advunciog very rapidly in price. Mr K. C. Greenwood concluded the purchase cf a block of foity acres about a mile further out than Victoria Park several d iys ug'\ the prico pall being £40 per acre. It will bo brought into the market Bhottly. Sales of property are announced at Northcote, while Mr SibbJn notifies that he will offer the Victoria Park at JDevonport in building lots ranging in size from a quarter of an acre to live acre*, on Monday next. Streets have been sur veyed from one chain to one chain and a quarter iv width; and no prohibitory re serve will be placed on the lots.

The monthly meo'iog of tho Remuera Band of Hope wus held in tho Newmarket Hall ou Monday, the JCth. 'iho Rev. Cf. B. Mouro presided.

Mr Giiflr.hs, of Newton, and Mr Harding, from Napier, spoke ou the sub ject of drink, and earnestly reminded the young ot their obligations, and the Rood they would do to themselves and others by leading temperato lives. The other part* of the programme were vcrj' succes-fullygono through, and reflected credit on the per formers, viz., Messrs Brace, Tnito, and Fraser, and Mi<sca Knox, Wild, Howe, Tozer, Allan, Taite, Rodgers, &c^»«/ ne ' monthly Sunday service wag«*jl<ci(j1< c i ( j ] a9 t Sabbath at 8 V^J^tM 'Kcwmarket « ' J hej££22-!rgood attendance, and the fir' 008011 BftVe an eloquent and liSffaddresp, proving conclusively that •■SsTprofcsjingChiistians it is our duty to abstain from that whereby our brother stumbles.

In the course of his remarks on Sunday night, Mr Geo. A. Brown said that, con trury to the Key, Joseph Cook's opinion, that isolation ftom the orthodox churches was the best means of chcckinc the increase

of the believers in Conditional Immor tality, the ■ fact wns that secession and opposition promoted their growth as a body. They would continue to thrive and would soon be, if they were not already, a thorn in the llesh of the orthodox. It was trup, as Mr Cook bad complacently assured his hearer?, that orthodoxy paid the lie.t, but it did not follow as a matter of course ;tbat heterodoxy went to the wall. At any rate, Conditional Immor tality, in its financial „ aspect, was not supported and siutuin»d in tl c

same wuy as orthodoxy. Their pews were not put up to auc'in {or sale to the highe-t bidder, after the manner adopted ia Mr Cook's own city, Boston, where 2uOO and 1500 dollars were not un common prices for particular pews, and neiiher did they get up bazaars with the object of raising money in the indecent fashion attempted with grab-bags, post offices, etc., nor did they ever hive recourse to secular concerts for the same purpose. They preferred to put their hands into their own pockets and pay for their requirements rather than solicit or persuade people to contribute to their aggrandisement.

We understand that the following has been selected as the cricketing team to pro ceed J-'outh : —Messrs. Bearton, Blair, Browning, Bockland, P. Dufaur, Gil1, Laukbam, Mumford, O'Brien, hobin*oi>, Testro, Wood, R. Wynyaid and Yatcs. It is caid that the selection has not' given satisfaction even ti tome of those ch< sen, and that they decline to go unless come alterations arb made. Arneil, itappcars, has no prospect of btiog able to get away unless Mr Heather sbpild return in the mean time, while De'wes will not be allowed by .his ' employer to absent himself ; from his duiie's for the time re quired, It is proposed by the pro moters of the scheme to leave lipig on about the middle of next month, but unless eorue better understanding is arrived at re garding the personnel of the team in the i meantime, a postponement " will be | necessary. In making selections of repre ! sentatives, we would commend to the notice of cricketers and footballists a system recently adopted in England. Four prominent cricketers were entrusted with the choosing of the profts-ional team, and eanh prepared a list of playi-rs. 'Iheso were founl to agree except so far as one name was conccrafd^f We may also add that it is considered premature to select a rcprafentative cricketing team at the beginning of the season, and before the ordinary programme matches have commenced.

A REMARKABLE EPISTLE.

Mr A. M. Beetle and an Aus tralian Cricketing Tour,

fcOME surprise was excited hero several weeks ago by the rec ipt of the following cablegram from Sydney :—" At a meeting held this eveniug, the Cricket Association decided not to cntortaia the proposed visit of a New Zealand eleven.owing to the num. ber of matches which have already bseu roadc for the coming season. " It was at first supposed thatthepropo*ed tour liademanated from the Southern cricketers, no one here appearing to know anything about it, but ail doubts on this head were set at rest by telegrams fiora UhrUtchurch and Dunodin, disclaiming all knowledge of tbe trip in question, aud presuming that (lie Auck land men lud made overtures tor a New Zealand team to visit Australia without consulting them. Papers which have now enme to hand have areused tLo inaignatiou of the local cricketcis. It appears that at the meeting in question tho decretory ot iho E*ew SoutU Wales Cricket Association read a letter, of which the following is an extract, from Mr Arthur M, ISiulc, dated Auckland, 2Hrd August, 1882 :—" Uetr Sir,—l am thinking about getting up a team to visit your city this season ; but as several good players wpuld bo unable to come without tlieir expenses wore paid, I thought I would write to you and find out what help might b« expected from yon. As several players would be chosen trom teams several miles from Auckland, they would necessarily be required to come to Auckland for some practice together, and thif, of course, would mean additional ex pense. My programme would be, if we came, to leave Auckland by tho mail steamer on the 13th November, and atrive back ij^ Auckland on the sth D<3eJ ( y&^^ftf o " a i<i most likely ipJJf^ffdMa in Sydney, and 10 :*cati play your leading clubs £3@ii"a two daya' match. You might put this before the clubs-say the University, Carlton, Albert, AVarwick, and New town, but of courso the clubs to be played will be left to jour discretion. Find out if they would guarantee, ray, £60 each, If they wi'l do this yon may dc« pctd on seeing an Auckland eleven dming the fmo mentioned." Mr Gibson »aid, in view of the fact that we would have so much cricket during the next season, ho was sure none of the clubs would guarantee £6U each ; and he was sure also the asso cia'ioo was not in a position to guarantee that amount. Taking into consideration, also, that we would navo the Australian Eleven and the Fngli»h team hero, he thought it would be writ to put the New Zealand matches oil for at least this year. He had another letter suggesting that they should play the English Klevcn at that tim*. It just meant this, if the Auckland team were to come here the association would have to bring them, as tho oiubs could not do it. He moved that a reply be sent to Mr Bealc tt mng that owing to the number of engagement* already entered into this year, his proposal bo not accepted. The resolution was carried. The refreshing effrontery of the letter in question is astoni-bing, but it is to be regretted that tho local cricketers should have been placed in so humiliating a position. Mr Beale was not authorised to make any negotiations on their behalf, but wo understand that he represents a tecond-class eleven who prac tised in tbe drill-shed during the winter, and who consequently imagined that they had attained perfection in the art of cricket. They were rudely disturbed from their dream of infallibility by an over whelming defeat at the hands of. a team of all-comers on Saturday, the scores of tho match appearing on tbo batk pago of this issue. And this is the team which pro posed to represent New Zealand against Australia I No doubt the local cricket association will take tbe matter up, and send a letter of explanation to Sydney.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

Two of the Ashmore's Seamen

Drowned.

DuiiiNG the prevalence of a heavy westerly ■ ga'e this forenoon, a melnucholy boat accident occurred iv the harbour, resulting in the drowning of two seamen, and the narrow escape of two other persons. About 10 o'clock the No, 2 cutter belong ing to the ship Ashmoie left the Cu?toms steps at the Queen-street Wharf, having on board a quantity of butchers' meat and bread for the vessel. Captain Wliitmore was on the end of the wharf, and requested the crew to take oft" the provisions and re turn for himself. Mr Laing, chief officer of the A sbraore, was ia charge ot the cutter, and there were also in her throe seamen, named John Kobin?, Veialer, aud Frank O'Connor, The weather was veiy boisterous, but tho I cutter was a splendid sea boat, and it wss considered quite safe to travel in her to the ship, '1 he cutter had a dep keel and car ried two tons of ballast, while the sails were double reefed. The men gt.t out the oars upon fmt getting underway, and j pulled the vessel to the north-eastern | corner of the wharf. From this point they intended to sail for the Ashmore, which lay iv a line with Woodside, about half-way across When about half the distance had been sailed over, Mr Laing gave orders to wear and go on the other tuck, and while the . men were so en gaged a heavy fea was shipped, the boat filled, and disappeared beneath them, 'lhe four men were immediately struggling in the wattr. Tho accident was ob erved from the wharf, and from.' the ferry steamer Alexandra, in charge of Captaiu Smith, which was about hall-way over to Nonli Shote. lhe Alexandra proceeded with all possible speed to lhe scene of the accident. Toe m»ste.r of the steamer says he was watching the boat all the time, from when she lett the wharr, ! uuiil she capsized. Wtiea he got near the' spot, he observed three in the water. Two I were together, holding on by one oar, and another young fellow, evidently a power ful swimmer, was boldly striking out towards the wharf, He saw that it was possible some of them might be drowned before he was able to bring hU yes- el to the assistance of all, and he iherefore deter mined first tc atiempt the rescue of the two nearest, and then back astern to pick up the man who was swimming. The two who held the oar were got on board in a veiy exhausted condition, and proved to be Mr Laing (chief oflicer), and the teaman, Frank O'Connor. These being safe, all attention was turned towards the tbiid man, who was now seen swimming ■ towards the steamer. He never reached her, however, and suddenly tank a shurt distance trom the Alexandra. The 1 steamer cruised about the sceue of the i mishap for some time, but no sign of the missing men were observed, aud the search was reluctantly Riven over. Messrs Laing and O'Connor were putashore.andon invita tion from the captain of the barque Earl Derby went on board of that vessel and ob tained a change of clothing. A second crew from the .ashmore cunie ashore iv the captain's gi>», when they observed the acci dent, and pulled their companionson board I the ship without further miihap.

Mr Laing-states that whan the cutUr capsized he recommended the men to secure some of the oars which wero floating about, He got bold ot one bimaelf, i nd O'Connor got another, while ltubius, beiug a splendid swimmer, struck out for thswhaif. Verier, the German, could not swim, and O'Connor knowing this, kindly poshed the oar he held towards him, telling him to "huld on." Vcigler, ho says, seized the oar, and he (O'Connor) then swam over to-where Mr Laing wus, and they held themselves above water by the remaining oar. After this Vciglor was never seen, ana it is supposed he must havo been overpowered by the stormy waters, and sank, Frank O'Cunnor caught a rope thrown from the Alexandra, and was hauled on board, while Mr L»int; seized one of the staunch ions, and by that means reached a place of safety. Captain Whitmore is extremely sorry that he should, in this melancholy manner, have lost two five teamen lrom the vo-sel. Robins, he soy», was a fine youog fellow about 24 year* of ajje. Hp wa<* a tingle man, whose parents resided in London. Robins shipped on tho Aehmore at London, and had proved himself so cfli cient ascamen during the voyage, that he inti-ndtd making him stemd mate. Vcigl'T, thojother man, was an A.B. on the vessel. Little further of him is known, except that he is a German by birth, that lie wai a good teaman and served on the A-hmore for the last two voyag-s. The accident has createdafcsL ing of genuine sorrow amojg^L^f e "^Joni in port. The men whp^lmddenly perUhed away lromJftf*&Tu a & relations were well jS-ttliW^uud respected bjr their fellow seamen, and the nrsfortuns is much regretted by all. ■

BERESFORD - STREET CON GRELATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The 30th anniversary of the Bpmford. street Congregational Sunday School was commemorated last evening by a stirec and public meeting. After tea,the Kov> J, Robertson, M.A,, took the chair, and after devotional exercises made a brief in troductory speech.. He said that this waa the first meeting of parents and others iuteresUdiu the school held for four years, though a tea meeting for ilie young people had betn held annually, tie referred to the fact that at the present time Christian people all over ihs world were vrayirig for the success of Sunday-.«chool work. Uiiptain Daldy, superintendent of the Sun day-school, said, that though a detailed report has not been, prepsred, he would make a general statement conceiDing the tchool. This >car they hsd 25 teacher?, wheh was something to be thankful fo-, a» last year thero had been a scarcity of teachers. An effort had been made to resuscitate the morning school, which their large stall' of teachers had enabled then! to do. There were 132 girls aud 108 boys a'tending the school, and of these, 50 belonged to the t enioy cla»sea. In this be thought th'eyhad partly solved thefrequenlly asked question; "How are we to retain our elder scholars?" Through the deep interest taken by the teachers, a large number of the senior scholars bad been retained in the school, and the number was increasing. The school was in a satisfactory financial condition, there being a small balance in hand. Last Sunday £33 9s Id had been collected at the services in the church in aid of the sxhool. Referring to his own conn*ction with the school,which extended ovtfr a peii >d of 30 years, he said the school ha^ been {commenced with] 12 scholars, of whom only 3or 4 were now alive. He re gretted that the Bcv. Mr Haymen, whe had been instrumental in establishing the achooJj was not .present. He narrated some interesting facts of his experience of Sunday • schools in the old country 50 years ago, iv most of which the children had first to be taught to roid. He'referred to the fact that the Earl of Shaft«bury and Lord Cairns did not con sider it beneath them to set1 as Sunday, school teacher*, and he urged these who had'the ability and the time to take part in the good work,1 t ddresses were then delivered by Mr Hutchins (who is en route to tiarotonga to take part in mission work); by the Rev. Mr Spencj, of the JNoith Shore; by the Rev. M'r Potter (who hud been a scholar in the school); by the Rev.

Training Notes.

Segenhoe bad a rattling gallop of a mile and a-half yesterday morning. He seema to be improviog, and bids fair to lie ri°ht by the day. ° Cunnamulla, The Czar, Commotion Stockwell, Prattle, Attachp, Ironmaster' The Hebrew, Gostwyck, The Queen, and Assyrian, went the Cup distance at half speed. It is unlikely that Golden Butterfly will ! be got fie by the day. Prometheus and The Drummer cantered ';' a couple of miles, finishing up tast. King of the Vale bad a couple of miW spin, and seems to be improving. He will probably be "cherry ripe" by tne day. ♦ '■ I

Training Notes.

The "Sydney Morning Herald" correa- J I pondent gives the following particulars of training at Flemington last Thursday: ---" A lot of useful work was done this morn ing. Commotion went nicely with Don Quixot-, who is in fust class condition. Lord Barleigh went once round with Vul ture, and finished up in a good gallop with Eva, No move has yet been made in his favour. Hecla canteied and Segenhoe did a strong mile and a quarter, with Gostwyck, whom fie soon put in troubje. fctockvvell, ' Bagot, Hobart, and Queen went well. Creswick did not shape v#ry well over. Ones round, Cunnamulawcnta good gallop with Sakmara and Stockdale, and v very firm tor tho Melbourne Cup. Prattla went in improved iorin. Brunette did) a Rood ouce ronnd. Narina, States* man, and Geitrude cautered and spurted, and .Narina appear* to be the best. Gij sy Cooper ;ran a fast mile-and-half with ':; Mnjor, and is very fit. Privaieer beat *■ Vaucluse over five furlongs. The Drummer bad the. best of fcardonjx at tbe end of a good gallop. Assyrian, looking fresh and veil after his great gallop ' yesterday, cantered. Baron Yon Mueller did a splendid mile-and-a-qutrt«r, and .;i amongst the others that did satisfactory work were Abertotle, Middlemarch, Blua and Whits, the Oznr, Larpent, Allandar, atid Vis-a-Vis. Gue»swork cantered.

THE LALLA ROOKH.

HJie Arrives Safely at Waitara. As we anticipated, the missing steamer Lalla Kookh turned up at Waitira last evening, having tioiply been detained in Kawhia by stress of wenthtr. Late last

Kawhia by stress of wenthtr. Late last evening, our Cambridge correspondent for watded. the following tflejjram :— ? "Aalive ju»t arrived from Kawhla states that the steinur' was in, EUwbia harbour on Thursday mowing. The chief went on board and asked what they were doing. The answer was, 'Dis tress of weather.' He replied!, 'Stay till weather modeiatcs.' The natives were ki id." A subsequent Meeram from Wai tara contains the iuformation that the Lalla Kookhairived all well last evening, and that the 'eports as to a distress signal having been shown were incorrect. Captain Kubinson showed only I a flare light when passing the Macgregor. The Press Association send the "follow* ins :—NEW PLYMOUTH,' thisday.-Tlie Lalla tiookh arrived last night. She had " been taking shelter in Kawhia. 'J:|j6-| The captain s»ys he'left the Manukaa last 'Wedaesday, and finding a stronc so at h-westerly wind and sea, anchors under Alhatros3 Point.' On ■ Thursday morn'ng, finding the sea too heavy, they lifted anchor and made for Kawhia, and remsined there until yesterday morning, when she left, and arrived at the Waitara shortly after seven lait eveniDg. • DISTRESS SIGNALS POSITIVELY »» DEFIED, V The Captain reports that the stafemeit* in reference to distress signals are wholly t incorrect. The only signal was the usual recognition of steamers passing by exhibit- [ ing a light, | It is very satisfactory to le»m that tbo fears entertained fcr the vessel's safety have proved ioc rrcct. It is satisfactory to know the lives of the crew are eared, and equally pleasing to hear that Captain Me- Arthur, of the s.s. McGreg«r, and his mate M are borne out by Captain Kobinson wtcn *'Js they state that no siena's of distress wC'B shewn". Captain MeAnhur, throughout this affair, has held a very un enviable posi ion. He was charged 'by the' crew and by one of the passeri g-'rs with seeing signals of distress'and with neglecting to recognise ' them. B Had the Lalla Bookh never arrived at y Wait«ra it is .certalu tint C«pt»in Me | Atthur and his iirst officer wonld have hid to undergo a strict examination before a Nautical Court, and there was astrongprp; bability that the positive, and as is npw Remonstrated," absolutely false evidence of the crew would have been held tooutwgh that of the captaiu and mate, Therefore it must lie gratit>in,» to all concerned to know that the ro«nlt is as t is. If we may ac.ept the assurance vi Captaiu Rob inson that be rover shewed any di>treS3 signals from the Lnlla Hookli, and the c nowappe.ira no teaaon w -y ho dhoald re quire t> have done so; and if we may, when backed up by this assertion believe Captain Me Arthur and his mate; when ihey assert po-itvely that thoy aiw ; no such signals, it is evident tbat the son 1 men of the Macgrpgor, and the tassenger, .James McGmrc either are ii total ignorance of what !a disI*' tress signal really is, or are wilfully at' tempting*to injure the charasterof the oflicers of the vessel. The pro pability is that it was through ignoiaice the blander occuired-tbat these pernons either mistook the starboard li x ht or tlio flashing of the binnacle light as ad f^M signal, and thin created much needier aaxiety to hundreds, foam interested in the welfare of tho-e on the Lilla hookh ond others anxious to keep the reputation of Captaiu Mc+rthur above suspicion. 'Hie occuncnce furnishes nuotber Ins'ancc of ttio necessity for taking the statements of in'1 experienced persons wiih'cjrjremp'cautiou1 and al»o shows h6w a great wrong may be done to aniunoccntman by such testimony.
