SUPPOSED MURDER OF HUGH A. HAMILTON.

The Prisoners Further Remanded

The knowledge that Thomas Priestley and | Miriam Hamilton were to be brought up again at the Police Court this morning, • charged with the wilful murder of Hugh 1 A, Hamilton, had the effect of attracting a large assemblage of people within tho i purlieus of the Folice Court and station. A considerable number remained outside the Court in order to s*e the prisoners brought from the guard-house to the Court, while the Court-room itself was thronged. I At a few minutes after 10.30 o'clock, Mr IH. G. Seth Smith, R.M., toek his place

upon tho Bench, and the prisoners were at once brought in. Priestley so -mcd to have recovered his health, and, as bsforo, mani fested no appearance of tremor or discom posure, Bo surveyed the crowd with the utmost coolness. His dress was the same ai on the lait occasion, ;md his personal appearance had not altered, excepting that tbe hirsute growth of a week '*as visible upon his cheeks. Mrs Hamilton was at : tired iv a plain black dress, with tome 1 black lace around her neck, and a black toque upon her head, She did not once kok around her, but she was quito com posed. The Clerk of the Court was proceeding to charge the prisoners,when ■ Mr Tyler rose and said :—I would draw the attentiou of the Court to thu fact that the prisoners hnvo been charged before, and I submit, therefore, that there is no need to parade it before the public again. Tho Clerk : They have not been charged before this magistrate. Mr Tyler: They havo been cbaTgcd before this Court at any rate, and that is sufficient, • I do hot sco the necessity of repeating it on every occasion they aro brought up. The reading of the charze was completed, and Messis Tyler and Thoo. Cooper duly announced that they appeared for Priestley and Mrs Hamilton respectively. Superintendent Thomson : At this stage oi the inquiry, your Worship. I am not pro dared to adduco any evidenco, and as I in dicated bcfoic, I now apply for a further remand till to morrow (Saturday) week, Since the last adjoin union t was made, a post mortem examination has taken place, and without anticipating or disclosing its results, 1 may say that they fully confirm me in the covrse I have pursued in caus ing the prisoners to be arrested on a charge of wilful murder. I feci satiifiod with tbe correctness of what I have done. Tho remand was then granted, there being no opposition, The prisoners were then removed from the dock, aud the bulk of those present in the Court immediately joined the crowd in the street who wero wailing for the re appearance of the accusod. There was no attempt, however, at any manifestation of feeling ou tho part of tbe public. i

TERRIBLE ACCIDENI AT MOUNT EDEN QUARRY.

AisotJT 10 a.m to-day a serions accidont oo currcd to a man named Wm. Henry, a quatryman engaged at the Mount Edea quarry. It appears that Henry wos o» ---gaged putting a charge of powder into a drift for blasting, and whilst so employed, from some unknown cause the charge exploded. There were several men working in the quarry at the time, one of whom is exiled Mr Cook. He ttatts that on hearing tho explosion he turned around and saw Henry s'asgering out of the blast hole with bis clothes on fire, his face terribly burnt, and lett arm shattered, uook at once ran to his assistance, when Henry' cried out, " Ob, My God, I'm killed 1" Cook then ran to tho Hojpital, and got the attendance of Dr. Goldsbro', who was speedily on tho spot. Oa seeing Henry, tbo doctor ordered his 'removil to tbo Hospital. He then found it necessary to amputate tbe arm, which operation was duly performed. Dr. Galdsbro' considers the man is in a very critical condition.
