SUPPOSED MURDER OF HUGH A. HAMILTON

The Exhumation

Acn G upon ihe permission given by the Presbyterian Cemetery Trustees lato yester day afternoon, Mr Superintendent 1 homson had tbo bodies of the late Hugh A, Hamil ton find his infant child disinter, ed this moning and conveyed to the morgue. This was done between ten and i eleven o'clock to-day, the grave being opened and the cothns lifted by Mr Sims (sexton) aud Mr 'Walker (assistant ecx'on), in tho presence of Dutectwo btrathearn. They did not seem to have suffered much by the interment, as indeed night be expected, for they have ouly been inino ground 20 days. An express was in waiting, and tho coffins were at once placed upon it at.d covered over, when they were conveyed directly to tbc morgue in >p;opara'ion for the post mortem oxamioa tion, which Dr. Goldsbro hud arranged to eommcacc at 3 o'clock. They wcro not tampered with at all, but Mr Thompson de-patched a mo3sengcr for Mr Walker (the undertaker), Woo lives in Nowton Koad, in order that ho may havo tho op portunity ot taking off tho lids aud of say ing whether or not thoy have been iutor fcrcd with since he screwed them down. The Defence. Tho conn«el engaged for the defenco pro fess to havecvory conlidenco in theinarcence ot theii clients ; and they contend that tho evidence already disclosed will not make us> a p'inia facie caso upon which the prisoners can be committed for trial. The Post-Morteitb. . Tho post-mortem examination of tho bodies of Hamilton and his child was com menced at the Morguo this afternoou. D-. Goldsbro' made tbe autopsy, there being also present, Drs. Walkur nud Daw son, Hi Superintandeut Thomson, Detectivo Strathearn, aad Mr Walker, tho undertaker who iHttmcd tho bodies. The presonco of tho lattar was re quired to certify that the coffins had not been mmperod with. A member of our staff requested permission to attend the examination, but this was refused. Wo havo, however, aacerUiuod that tho bidy of Hamilton was the first operated on, and that the corpse was in an advanced state of decomposition —even moro so than might bay* been an ticipated after 20 days' interment. Wo bnve al>o ascertained that evon the pre liminary stages of the autopsy disclosed (acts that have net oven been suspected, and that will, when rnido public, intensify t'je pain fnl interest which has oonccutrated upon tho case. _

THE LATEST.

The post mortan was concluded at 4,30 this afternoon. All that we woro able to ascertain iB that tho child was not poisoned, and died a natural death. Immediately after the examination, the bodies wcro re-coffined and placed in a cart, and conveyod to the cemetery, under the charge of Petictive Strathcrn, and interred, We believe that no f i osh external wounds beyond those described at the inqaost ha»o been discovered on Hamilton's body. Tho corpse was too much decomposed to show with any certainty traces of flesh wounds.

INTERESTING DIVORCE CASE.

A Good lemplar Scandal,

Bather moro than a year ago the public wore startled, and tho leaders of the Good Templar organisation in Auckland scan. ■ duliscd, by the circulation of a report to the I cll'cct that* a papular vocalist of tho Onfler was intriguing with tho wife of another brother, and ere the matter had censid to engage at'entlon, it wus alleged that the anurous pair were living tcge her^ The affair w;as talked over far ana wide, 1 until, liKe other sensation^, it gradually \ ceased to bo canvassed. Now, however, proccedinp;».haVe been instituted which may lend to a resurrection of all the dotails, and cmuu a fresh ilmter in tho dovacots of soaety. I he matter has been placed in tho hand* of Mr W. Cvleiuau, und thin morning he mado appiicntion to Mr Justice Oillios (titting in Chambers), under tho Divorce und Mii'.umooiul Causes Act, of 1867, that he should fix the mode sud appoint a place of tiiat for tho case of TV Js. Wilcock v. Wileock and Fordor. Hiu Honor accordingly fixed the trial to take place before a common jury during tho enaning Civil Sittings of the Supicinu Court. In tho meantime we give a resumd of the allegations which the petitioner, Thomas fcpurey 'Wilcock, em bodies in his petition. He states, in the lirst placo, that ho is a tea dealer, and that ho was married to the respondent, Mary Frico AVilcock (n6o Maw Price Roberts), at St. James's Church, IJarrow-iu-Fumess, Lancashire, England, on tho 26th of Jane, 1576, and that from that time up till bis emigration to New Zoaland' he cohabited with her at Dalton-in- Fumes* in the same county. Xfie fruita of tne marriage wore tour cbilarcn all of whom diad in infanoy. Ho further avers taat on or about November, 1881, the respondent loft his house in Auckland, and since than bus lived apart from hhn ; that en the 18th March last she cominitttd adulUry with Charles Edward terdur, clerk (ca-respondeni), in a house in Cook street, and ttut ever since the has b.eu habitual))? committing the tamo oft'ence with the aforesaid border; first at the houßO in Oook-strtet during the months of March, *pril, May, Juno, and July last, ttien at a house in or olf Synionds-strect during September, nud part ot October lust, aad next at a house in or off Ponsonby Road during part of October lust, besidts various other places in the province. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the marihgc may be dUsolved, and that Fordor may bo adjudged to pay the full costs of the petition, and he also denies on ailidavit that there has been any cjn nivance between his wife and himself for {he severance of tho matrimonial tic. The only answer that the respondent and co-respondent make to these averments is a denial that adultery was committed by them on toe date mentioned by the peti tioner. As iwe have already remarked, the parties were connected with tho Good Templar Order, and Mr and Mrs Wilcocks frequently sang duets at the entertainments given by the Sir Henry Havelock and other lodges, She ii said to hive been a little " fast " in htr mauner, and Forder aud she wero often keen out walking together. Her hiubaiul, of courso, grew jealou*, and tho result of bis expostulations waa her flight from homo. iJhe tuok caro, however, to send an express for her belongings,and Ft»r. dcr, having furnished a house for her, thoy took up their rc.idence t«gether. Tho officers of tho lod*o were duly shocked at such behaviour, aud demanded an exphina tiou from their frail sister. She promptly replied that she valued Folder's HUlu linger more than her husband's whole body ; that she had gone to live with her lover, and that she was determined to stick to him. The lodge forthwith expelled her, and the Good Templar public ceased to be graiified with her vocal efforts at their ptriodical meetings. Wo are in formed taat the/:ouplo are now residing in Yincent-atreet, and that Mrs Wilcock is "as ladies- wish to be who love their lords," while F»rd»r is dtecritcd as a gay Lothario, who has suc cessfully carriod through m«re than one aiiuntr dt>ri»g his residence in this city.
