'(Before Hi 3 Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

ALLEGED INDECENT ASSAULT,

John Scarborough, a tall and athletic man of colour, was charged with having, in October last, at Parncl", indecently as saulted a girl named Lucy Furbcr. The prisoner, who was defended by Mr drowning, pleaded " not guilty." Tbegirl deposed that she was the daughter of Edward Eurber, carpenter, and that sho resided with her parents in Devonport Road, Parnell. . On the night of the 19th of October last, while in bed in the front room, she was aroused fvom sleep by feeling a hand upon her person, and ou looking she saw the prisoner bending over with a light in his hand. She screamed, and he blew j tho light out and disappeared. Her father then came at her call, and he looked through the house, but only found tbe door open. The prisoner had never before takeu liberties with her, Mr and Mrs Furbcr alac gave evidence. Mr Browning cross-examined the wit nesses with the object of shewing that tho girl was nervous and imaginative, and that it was at first thought she had been dream iiif It appeared that the father, on Icing aroused, had saiJ to the girl, in an off hand way, that she must have been dreaming,' but that she herself had never doubted the reality of the assault. Elizabeth Wood, a widow, residing in the next bouse to the prisoner's, deposed that he was her son-in-law, and that her house was divided from 1113 only by a wooden partition. She could hear every thing tbat passed in the adjoining room, in prisoner's house, if spoken loud. On tho morning in question, the heard tho prisoner go out of the house about half-past two o'clock and return at three o'clock. She was a -ulferer from asthma, which kept Iter awake at night. t This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Browning then addrsssed the jury in the prisoner's defence. His Honor, in summing up, Slid that the caic was a most extraordinary one. The witnesses had spoken positively ks to the assault, but there .was still a question— whether this child, who was of a highly nervous temperament, might not have had hor imagination wrought upon by hearing certain things not very nice about the black man. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of " not guilty." The prisoner was consequently dis charged, and the Court rose.

She gave him two cups of milk and a currant bun.

Tbe foreman of the jury desired that the child's evidence might be read over at tbe close, as it was impossible to bear the evi dence iv consequence of the lowness of the child's voice and the walking in the pre cincts of the court,

He pulled her between bis kuccs. lie did not say anything.

Nicholas Clcary, constable stationed at Te Aroha, deposed to knowing Mr Mor rison's houso. He made the sketch,shewing the relative positions of tho rooms. He nrrestod tbe prisoner on the present charge. Prudence Holden, a child of diminutive ap pearance, was next called, and examined aa to the nature of an oatb. Sbe could not read, but had been taught by her mother that if she told a lie God would know all about' it and punish her horcaltcr. She was then sworn, and deposed that she was at Mrs Morrison's on tho evening of tho 26th.

Her sus picions were moused by the state of his dress, sho considered him sober. Cross examined by Mr Cotter. This was the case for thepro:ccution. Mr Cotter then addressed the jury in defence, and said that the evidence in tho case was confined to the two childron. He urged that such evidence should be cau tiously received, and pointed out one or two discrepancies in the two statement-, and that under all circumstances the prisoner was fairly entitled to an acquittal. His Honor then summed up, and left the case in tbe hands of the jury. Verdict—" Not Guilty."

Witness told de fendant that be had some cheap grog he could sell him, and defendant replied that he would take it if it was good and cheap, The first goods be sent was two cases of wive, for wlr.ch he received £2 on account. He then sent up the whisky and brandy and pickles at tile request of defendant.

He saw defendant the day after at the Park Hotel, and received £3. Defendant said, " Will that do 2" and he replied "Yes." There was nothing said about paying a further amount. Some days after this witness received £2 from defendant—he supposed an account of the grog. No more goods wore orderod at that timo, but subsequently whisky, schnapps, and b.-ttudy were ordered. Witness did not send it, as he got bowled out, being no longer on trusted with tho store. About a week before be left the store he borrowed £4 from defendant. Altogether he received £14 2s from defendant. These wero Mr Nathan's, and witness had been con victed for stealing them.—To Mr Hesketh : ! Witness had been 10 months in Mr Nathan's employ, and it was his duty to deliver goods from the stoto. He did not : make sales of goods. He had known Martin for about 12 months, and had been in his hotel frequently during that time. He sent the goods up in a hand-cart in the daytime. He arranged with defendant to receive £1 a case for the grog. Tho first ■ lot he sent np on November 20, and con sisted ef brandy, whisky, and cigars. The same was sent up on tho 2.ih of the I «anio month. What he swore this I morning about receiving £14 2s was ' false. He only received £8 from Martin i He had been asked to swear that he had '■ received the amounts on the paper. He i swore falsely to save Mr Martin, A man, ; whose name ho did not know, handed him i a piece ot paper a lortnight ago, on which i weic the false amounts. Tho maa astod ; him to swear to these amounts, This took place in the prisoner's waiting-room in this Court. He copied the amounts on to the ' piece of paper produced. A prisoner named Clune was present at tho time, and : could swear to what he said.—[At this stago ' I a constablo -as despatched to find the man Clune.] — Cross-examination continued : When ho entered the witness-box ho had made up his mind to swear falsely. The reason ho did not swear to the exact amounts was because he forgot them. He never borrowed any money from Martin. The Court adjourned till two o'clock. On resuming, A. Clune deposed that he kuew urmstcin by sight, and had been in the waiting-room with him. He saw several men speaking to Ormstein through the bars, but he did not see any papers pas«. He noticod Ormstein with a paper in his hand, on which he was writing, both before and after he was speaking to the men. One of the men worked on the wharf, and had on blue clothes.

He was paid the first time by Ormstein, the second time by a woman in the bar. He could not identify the woman.—Arthur H. Nathan, a merchant carrying on business in Queen-street, de posed to discovering that his storeman, Ormstein, had been robbing him. On the Bth November he went to Martin and in formed him that Ormstein had stated that he had disposed of the goodß to him (Mar tin.) The latter seemed dumbfounded.— Witness said that he was surprised that Mr Mattin should buy goods from his store man, and that it would be a very serious thing for him, as the receiver ot stolen property was as bad as the thief,— Martin said he hoped witness would not press the matter, aud that he would be williug to pay for any of tho goods he had received. Witness then asked what goods he had received, aud Martin named more goods that he at the time knew had been stolen. Defendant stated the first goods he received was two cases of wine. Witness asked Martin, "How could you expect to buy goods that bad been come by honestly for £1 a case—the duty alone is 24s a case." He replied tbat Ormstein told him that the Custom-house officers allowed a cer tain quantity to be taken out of every lot without paying duty. Witness then said, "How long have you been in this hotel, and who do you deal with?" He replied, " Seven months, and I deal with Brown and Campbell and Co." Witness then sa!d, "You know you pay them 55s a case for Walker's whisky. "Being a publican, you must know that the Customhouse charge duty on every bottle." His storekeepers were not allowed to sell goods. Witness accused Martin of writing a letter to Ormstein that morning, asking hjm to send up more goods. This defendant denied, saying that he had lent Ormstein £1, and that the latter had pro mised to send up a case of whisky. The letter wa3 simply to jog his memory. (Left .ltting.)

ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHIONERS.

ALL gAlNte* PARiSIL

I'HE annual meeting of the parishioners of All Sai-ts' took place last night in the Church, Ponsd nby Road, the Rev. E; N. Bree (incumbent) presiding. Abdut it)o ladies rind gentlemen were present. The reVi geptlemah having opened the proceedings with prayer, remarked upon the desirability of ministers being annu ally halted upon for a resume ,of parochial operations, and {hen entered into a tie' tailed explanation of his relations, with tbe Rev. Mr Edwards. He said that some months ago, as the congregation were aware, he Was taken ill in tho pulpit, and had to be carried out of the church. Mr Up ton iiifotraed the Bishop of tho occurrence, and His Lordship at once came to hint anil said that something would have to be done iv the way of providing for the due fulfil ment of the duties of his office. A tew days ln-ter the Bishop told him that he had found a man in wh.m lie had the greatest confidence, and that no one was Better calculated to do the work than the Rev Mr Davis, but that as he had not the power of making the parishioners pay the curate, he (Mr Bree) would haVe to make some sacrifice. He professed his readi ness to give £100 out of his stipend, and the Bishop Baid he would send Mr Davis to him to make arrangements. Things were in that stoqe when Mr Edwards ca'led on him, and voluntarily proposed that he (Mr Bree) should retain the incumbency, but leave the parßon age; and pay him £50 a year for doing all tbe duties ot incumbent. Ho sent Mr Edwards to the Bishop, but His Lordship Baid that the appointment \vould have tß,_e mftde at the pariih meet. ilig, aiid therefore the_tatterr.malhodf.ra time in abeyance. He laid it before the vestry, and after Mr Edwards .had con versed with some of the parishioners, he came to him and told him that some of the parJ.shiob.ers could not see whyjhe (Mr Bree) should tie turned out. and he wou Id no t bom a on tiny consideration, unless it was the unanimous wish of the parish. Oa the same day, he (Mr Bree) wrote to the Bishop asking bim to return to the original offer -iVlth Mr Davis. He had had some experi ence in judging of members of his profes sion, and he told them all. that was re quired was to give Mr Davis fair and honest fluyi, If he were allowed to fto.onj tbey would see that lie woiild be woi-tli twenty Mr Bi-ecs. It had been »aid that he (Mr Bree) wanted to take all the plum, giving Mr Edwards only £50 a year, but the mat ter was not of his seeking. It was thrust upon him by Mr Edwards. After taking exc-ption to these arrangements being re corded in tho report, Mr Bree explained that he had taken round the members' roll book in order that as many names as 'pos sible might bo placed upon it, as he did not consider that such a large parish should be ruled by a few people, , tie concluded by dwelling on the importance of choosing a good vestry. Mr Boardman said that a letter had been placed in his hands that evening, and as it bore on what Mr Bree had just said, ho would read it. It was from Mr Edwards, and stated, in referenco to paragraph 8 of the i.purr> that ho was exceedingly grieved that the subject matter of a private conver sation had been introduced into the report, seeing that Mr Bree was naked by him to regard the matter as strictly private until further consideration, and especially as after consideration* ho thought it wiser to withdraw the proposition previously made, The gentleman then went on to show that the part of the report objected to by Mr Bree was hot ODly called for under the circumstances, but that its insertion was absolutely necessary. If Mr Bree had said before that the matter was private, aud that he wished it expunged from the minutes, they would gladly have complied, but he let it pass unchallenged when he signed tbo minutes, and as ho (Mr Boardman) Was appointed with other two gentlemen to draw up tho report, it would, be considered, have been a deviation from thoir duty to have kept such a filet from the parishioners. They were entitled to tbo fullest informa tion from the records of the church on a matter of snch importance as tbe appoint ment of a minister. It was not fair, there fore, of Mr Bree to inferentially blame him. Mr Edwards had told him that he ex pected £150 from tbe parish in addition to the £50 from Mr Bree, aud that if he worked up the parish he expected tho full stipend. He pointed out to Mr Edwards that that meant a largely increased ex penditure, and he now informed tho meet ing that it meant this s Mr Edwards, if ho came for a small salary, would have a hold on tho parish, and when a vacancy occurred would have the nomination to the incum bency. One gentleman bluntly put it that it waa like selling- the living. Mr Bree had spoken about taking the book round to got names. Ho told Mr Bree it was highly improper _ nd unconstitutional to interfere in the election of the laity.

After Mr Bree had made sorno further re marks, the minutes wero read and con firmed.

Mr D. H. Evans then presented the fol lowing nnnu-1 report:—"The total incomo for church and Sunday-school, including a balance of £1 2s 3d brought from last year, has been £666 10s lid, or, exclusive of the Sunday-school, £G39 14s Id. This includes an amount of £114 received from donations, organ recitals, lectures, &c, leaving the Bum of £524 lis lOd as the ordinary income from pew rents, offertories, nnd endow ment. The ordinary expenditure of the year-exclusive of that ou tho Sunday school —for salaries, miscellaneous items, repairs, printing, and interest and sinking fund, has been £585 Is Bd, being £60 9s lOd in excess of the ordinary income. To this deficiency must be added £40, due on account of payments for sinking fund for tbe year, making a total dcficiency,there fore, of the ordinary income to meet tho ordinary expenditure of £100 9s lOd. From the special income of £114 tho sum ot £78 4a 4d was paid to clour off arrears of interest and sinking fund due at the beginning of this year, and the balance of £3515s 8d has been"applied to reduce tho deficiency of the ordinary incomo of tho present year of £100 9s lOd to £64 14s 2d, still due on this year's account, less of £4 16s 7d, sur. plus on the Sunday-school account; not deficiency, £59 17s 7d. Assuming the ordinary income of next year to equal that of the past, and thn expenditure to be about the same, making allowance for reduction of interest and sinking fund payments, there will be a deficiency at the closo of tho now year of about £85. The special loan of £100, borrowed in April, 1878, to meet special demands, has been repaid. The vestry suggest to the parishioners tbe absolute necesiity of tho necessary repairs to the tower and steeple being no longer neg lected. During the past year tho Diocesan Synod has slightly altered the parish boun daries. They now are as follows :-From Ponsonby-road down Picton-street to Hep burn-street, thence down Hephurn-street to Wellington-etreet, along Wellington-street to Franklin-road, across Franklin-road to England-street, along England-itrcet to Col lege-road, thence down College-road to Frco man's Bay. At a meeting held on December 13th, the Rev. Mr Bree informed tho vestry tbat in consequence of failing health and his desire tc escape tho worry and labour of parochial work, he had entortained an offer mado by the Rev. Mr Edwards, by which the former should leave the parsonage, and retire from all clerical work, though not resigning the incumbency ; that Mr Edwards would have sole charge of the parish, aa though ho were incumbent, would occupy the parsonage, receiving from Mr Bree £50 a year from the stipend of £300 voted lor tho incumbent. The All Saints' Ladies' Work Society have kindly prcse-ted to the vestry for the church the following valuable articles of church furniture, viz. : a rich embroidered altar cloth and coverings for tho kneeling stools inside tho chancel and outside the chancel rails; a carpet, two chairs, and two kneeling stools for the chancel; also a handsome stone font. The total cost of the donatious of the society to tho church was £64. The vestry tendered their best thanks to the ladies for thoir valuable gift of these much - needed and handsomo articles. 31st December, 1881." Tho balance-sheet was also submitted. On the motion of Mr Upton, seconded by Mr Jakins, the report and balance-sheet were adopted. Mr Joseph Payne asked that the minute authorising the vestry to pay the incum bent less than £300 might be read.

Mr Evans read the mi nute, which pro vided for a deduction of £50 from the stipend as interest for the parsonage fund, and a subsequent minute to pay the ftEl amount of the stipend. Mr Bree said the vestry had no power to alter the decision of tbe annual meeling, and when for six months they deducted a portion of his .alary they excoeded their

powers. Mr Masefield defendod the action of tho

vestry. After some further discu,sion the subject dropped. Mr Evans then read the report nnd ac counts forwarded by tho Ladies' Work Society, aud ou the motion of Mr Muse

[field; seconded, by Mr Crui.ksh__lt, a ! cordial vote of thanks was accorded tti the ladies who hdd subscribed £.-_ to renovate thechttrch; , _,_._.
