PAINFUL STABBING CASE.

T. J. Ryan, a book agent, was charged to-day with stabbing his wife. It appears they had a drunken quarrel, in which Mrs Ryan got knocked about and stabbed in the arm. She did not appear to give evi dence, and was sent for, but was intoxi cated when sho arrived, and could givo no evidence. Ryan's defence was that he tried to take the knife from his wife, and supposed that in doing so he inflicted the wound. Under the circumstances the Bench dismissed the case, with a warning to Ryan. Mr John GrigK has been elected chair man of the Frozen Meat Company. The New Zealand Shipping Company have re plied to their application for the Mataura, that abo has been placed at tho disposal of the Dunedin Company, whom they had considered had a prior claim.

FIRE AT CAMBRIDGE.

Suspected Incendiarism

[BY TELEOKAriI.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CAMBRIDGE, this day. Mb BAYNES'S National Hotel narrowly escaped destruction by fire last night. At half-past seven o'clock a smell of burning waa noticed upstairs, and in number seven .double-bedded room, both being found in 'flames, Tho bedding, mattresses, and palliasses wero destroyed, and the wash stand burnt. The fire was extinguished. .It was thought to havo been the reault of an accident. The room was occupied by a "commercial traveller. At a later hour, about 10 o'clock at night, the 'smell of burning was again noticed in the billiard - room, thought to pro ceed from tho marker's cupboard, Presently the servants ruahed downstairs, exclaiming, "the house is on fire again," This time the fire was in No. 12, single bedroom, occupied by Mr Dyer, solicitor, who was absent. Some clothes on a chair near tho door had evidently been set on fire. The clothes, chairs, and wall paper wero burnt. Indica tions point strongly to incendiarism, The escape of tho bnilding was narrow in each ease.

ROE'S ONEHUNGA SAW MILL BURNT.

Estimated Loss, £4,000.

AT a few minutes past 12 o'clock last night the extensive sawmills at Onehunga, owned by Mr|M. H. Roe, wero discovered to be on fire. A few minutes prior to the alarm being given, the night watchman at the mill, a somewhat decrepit old man, named Dugald Smith, passed the front of the building-, when, according to his state ment, everything appeared to be safe. He proceeded to the seaward side of the pre mises, and on returning to the street aide again made the appalling diacovery that the vhole of the front of the mill waa on fire, Altheugh there is no fire-bell in Onehunga, the strong glare soon aroused the citizens residing in the vicinity, but they were utterly powerless to do anything. There was no means of combatting the flames available, and even had there Men a boun tiful supply of water, tho contest would have been an uphill one, in consequence of the dryness and inflammability of the old bnilding. In the upper portion of the building, tanks containing 4,oooJgallona of water were located, while lire-buckets were distributed at various point?, but the fierce ness of the flames rendered the utilisation of those preventatives unavailing. Two man named Carson and Hughes, who slept in a compartment of the upper storey of the premises, had a very narrow escape. Carson was awakened by tho ominous crackling of flames, after the fire had gained a strong hold on the building. He waa immediately cognizant of the danger, and aroused his mate. On proceeding to the trap door leading to the lower, story they found below them a complete abyss of flames, and escape by that means was con sequently out of tho question. Tho fire was burating through the flooring, and the heat waa so intense that their night clothes ignited. Carson threw the bed clothes from the window, and then the two men leaped out, but not before both had been severely burned and scorched. They were oonveyed to tho Royal Hotel and their in. juries attended to. The building was by thistime a mass of flame—machinery,tools, and all the contents of tho building being completely at the mercy of the fire. It is a most fortunate circumstance that a etrong wind was blowing from the north east, the flamea being thus directed seaward, Had a breeze from any other direction pre vailed, the adjaoent stacks of timber, sheds, etc., and perhaps a portion of Princes street, must have been consumed. As it was, two small stacks of timber were lost. The machinery in the mill com prised two engines and sawing and planing machines! Mr Roc estimates his uninsured loss at between "£3,000 and £4,000. The mill, machinery, and shed?, were insured in the Colonial office for £650, of which the Company will probably be called upon to pay £500, There con be but little doubt as to the cause of the fire. The mill had been working np to 10 o'clock last night, and it seems probable that some sparks from tho boiler fire settling uoobserved in some corner created the conflagration, Great sympathy is expressed for Mr Rob in his loss. He has been a resident in Onehunga tor upwards of 20 years. ' Smith, the night watchman, ia of opinion that the fire originated near the planing machine. " The glare of the fire was distinctly seen In Auckland, and the firebells gave the alarm, Numbers started for the sceno of tho conflagration, but the majority on dis covering that it was 10 far away, did not complete tbe distance.

THE NORTH FRANKLIN ELECTION DECLARED VOID.

(BY TELEQEAPH.—OWN OOBBESPONDEHT.)

DRUBT, Wednesday, Judok Gillibs, in stating that Sutcliffe could not be held guilty of personation, said there was a question, however, whether Alfred Harris was not. Impor tance is now attached to this expression of

opinion. At 1.30 p.m. the Court adjourned for an hour.

On resuming an enquiry commenced into 10 clauses 2 and 3 of the election petition, ie viz.:—(l) That the Returning Officer at c Howiek declined to allow James Dovell to g vote, unless he could state that he had i- lived in the district during the previous ; six months. (2) That Robert Hattaway, ', jtinr., and other voters, practised intimida x tion on the said Dovell. Dovell deposed to these things. He said the Returning Officer (Smith) told him he A could have the voting paper, but that he . should throw it aside as the witness had not resided a sufficiently long time in the s district. Therefore, he left without voting, but returned with Mr Roberts. They were accosted by Robert Hattaway and a mob s of others. Hattaway said he would make it . hot for witness, and also for his employer, McLean, if he voted, and deterred by theae threats witneas did not vote. The charge of intimidation is likely to breakdown now, as the intimidation consisted of threatening him with the law only. John Smitb, Deputy Returning Officer for Howiek at the last election, deposed I that when Dovell came to vote he asked , him at the request of Hattaway if he had i been a resident ih the district for six i months. Dovell replied in tho negative. Witness told him he might fill up the paper, and give it to him in place of putting it in , the oallot-box. Dovell asked, " Why i should 1 give it to you," and witness taid ho would mark it iilegal. Dovell then i asked what good would it be for him to fill the paper if it was illegal, aid asked would ho get into trouble. Witness said he knew nothing about it, and he then said ho would not vote. Witness told him to remember he did not ref u«o him a voting paper. Some one who was with Dovell adviaedhim to fill it up, but witness told him he could not put it in the ballot box. Had he taken the paper it would bave been on the terms prescribed by wit ness in the first instance. John AY. White gave corroborative testi mony. Robert Andrew, farmer, Pakuranga, de posed to having heard Hattaway tell Dovell outside the polling place that whoever put him on the roll wa« liable to a penalty of £50 if he voted. Robert Battaway, farmer, East Tamakl, deposed that he saw Dovell at the polling piece on tbe afternoon of the election. He had previously been told that Dovell was not legally on the roll, and spoke to the Returning Officer, and said, " 1 have an ob jection to make to thia man—that he is not legally on the roll, that he had not been a resident in North Franklin long enough." The witness then described what took place, and corroborated tho statement made by Mr Smith, He did not know who Dovell was going to voto for when ho ob jected to him. Witness was a Harris man. Ho had heard that Dovell was put on by Mr McLean, to vote for Mr Buckland, Thos, Foley also gavo evidence. The Court tlicu proceeded to the con sideration of the two other charges, with regard to the .ippi.intr.wnt of poll clerks in 7, 8, and 9, Mr Shanagban deposed that he conducted the polling at Otali'ibt! >tt this election, tie did not ct-mmui.. '.its with Mr Buck- - land as to appointrrte-t t scrutiti-Ci'., but ho read tho clause fi >m the Corrupt Prac tices Prevention hct at tho nomination, i tie received a list if niutineera from Air • Buckland, and believed 'here was only One ' scrutineer for Otalmu: He telegraphed to < Mr Buckland. statu . that he would require 1 tho names of all persona empolyod in hia I election, as per .'.::■(; 26, Corrupt PrOC- t tices Prevention Act. He had not then i j finally mado up hia mlO-1 as to bow many , ■ ballot-boxes he should hove in Otahuhu, j f but did so a few days after, The telegram ' ' was sent on the Saturday, and he made up < his mind to have two on Monday. He did < not afterwards inform Mr Buckland that l there would bo two ballot-boxes, or till tbo 1 day of the polling, When ho decided to 1 have two ballot-boxes, ho wrote to William i Dalton, Bush, and A. M. Shepherd, asking them to act as poll clerks. It j ( vtas not until We Inosday night he commit- , c nicatcd with Mr Sefton. At that timo ho | i had received from Mr Luke a list of his . t scrutineers, and Mr Sefton'a namo was on t the list as nn unpaid scrutineer. He was I on the roll of electors. He subsequently t appointed Mr Sefton a-* poll clerk, Mr <- Luke having previously intimated to wit- r nets that he did not require Sefton, and did t not intend to employ him. Ho also ap- > pointed Mr Bush, but did not know whoso 1 candidature he favoured. He had tho ( ballot boxes about midway in tho hall. At r one table Mr Sefton and Mr Paul, Mr > Bucklaud's scrutineer, sat, and at tho '« other Mr Bush, without any scrutineer, r On each table was a ballot box, v separate rolls, a seal, &c. Hia own table o afforded him a view of tho wholo position, o He did not leave the hall during the polling 1 hours. He saw every voter come in, ex- t cept whon he would be engaged at the inner t compartment. He did not give instruc- C tion to the poll clerks not to give papers to o persona when be waa at the inner compart- I ment, but they were Instructed not to give f< voting papers until the persons in the secret t. compartments had left them. f Mr Lusk submitted that this waa practi cally not evidence to apply to the three clauses of the present inquiry, but to the two last clauses, the facts of which were admitted. The witness further said, in answer to questions from tho Chief Justice, that he did not givo any information to any candi- I date that there would be two ballot boxes, f' Mr Buckland woa the only one who had _, scrutineers. The others did not appoint v scrutineers. 8 He also explained, in reference to the six JJ papers, that there was a rush during Mr B Paul's absence at ono table. Tbe clerks h took down the numbers on pieces of J paper, and mast havo forgotten to tick their - rolls. ti Mr Paul, scrutineer, was called to prove t] that he conld not perform hia duties J efficiently on accoont of tho distance ot the i ballot boxes apart. a Mr Lusk said the fact waa admitted. _; This was the petitioner's case. - a The Court then adjourned till 10 a.m. to- v day, at Otahuhu. jj

To-day's Proceedings.

The Election Declared Void.

OTAHUHU, this day,

The Election Potitien Court resumed here at 10 o'clock thia morning, tho venue having been changed so as to ac. commodate tho judges, lawyers, and parties interested. The evidence being closed, no witness could be incommoded by the change. The attting took place in tho Public Hall and was well attended by settlets. At the opening of the Court, Chief-Justice Prendergast said that at the conclusion of the case, when the de cision was given, it would be necessary if Alfred Harris should be held guilty of im pel sonotion and Hattaway of intimidation that both persons should be caßed on to show cause why they should not be reported for those offences.

Mr Lusk commenced hia speech by stating the position of the case at present. He said there was still a majority of two votes for Harris, the respondent, unless it could be shown that two votea ought to be deducted from Harris's total and added to Buckland's. H that were so, it remained for him, before going into the general ques tion of any irregularities that might be held to have taken place, or mistakes that might have occurred on the part of the Returning Officer, to deal with questions which attected votes. Therefore he ad dressed himself in the first place to tbe allegation concerning the conduct of the Returning Officer at Howiek in regard to Dovell. He contended that tne latter having been shown to be impro perly on the electoral roll was restrained from voting rather by fear of legal conse quences that might accrue to him, and the precaiiousness of his position generally, than by anything the Returning Officer either said or did. He also maintained that Hattaway had practised upon Dovell no intimidation within the meaning of the low. as he had merely called the lattcr's attention to ' the fact that he was improperly upon the roll, and that if he exercised his vote he would call attention to hia wrongful registration - quite unaware at the time|_ow the man intended to vote. •' His entrance of the booth, of course, was illegal, but natural act of a man unversed in the law. With regard to Alfred Harris's action in iignlng Sutcliffo'a came to the claim to

vote, while the latter merely touched tho pen and made no cross, Mr Lusk argued that Harris did the best to fulfil the legal requirements so far as he understood them. His object was merely to assist Sutcliffe to obtain the registration that he wanted.

The Judges informed Mr Lusk that he need not dwell upon thia mat .er, as they were of opinion that Harris's l ote was not affected by the irregular signing of Sut clirle's claim, the act having been dove, not at the election, but prior to it. The learned gentleman then argued that the non-ticking of certain names and the non-initialling of certain names or tho use of two ballot-boxea at Otahuhu f ' instead of one, and the employment as poll clerk of a man who had formerly acted ai Mr Luke's scrutineer, did not justify or warrant the election being declared void. Everything shewed that the man jwho obtained the largest proportion of votes had eot the seat, and therefore the object of the I eglslature had been gained. ! After Mr Cotter began to reply the ; Bench sold that they thought if it were established th-..t Hattaway practised in timidation in respect to Dovell's vote that would be sufficient to declare the election void. Other allegations were quite collateral. Mr Cotter therefore confined himself to that point, seeking to prove by English" authorities, &c, that Hattaway's conduct amounted to undue influence, for the purpose of pre vailing upon Dovell not to vote. I

THE JUDGMFNT. The judges then retired, and after a short absence returned. The Chief Jus tice said : jYVe have come to the conclu sion that Dovell waa prevented from re cording his vote by the conduct of liattaway with regard to him, aud also in consequence of the conduct of the Returning Officer. The question is only, however, whether he was prevented from recording his vote by tho conduct of Hattaway and my brother judges, also, I think, in that there was an intestion to object to Dovell's vote on the part of certain persona who be. licved his name was put on the roll im properly and that there was a penalty for this. They also knew he would probably vote for Mr Buokloud, Likewise it waa quite clear from tbe evidence that tbe jatention to object to him was on that ground, Hattaway was acting with a number of persons who were outside tho polling place, and that upon Dovell's entering it, followed him there, and practically threatened that, it he voted, he would render himself liable to prosecution, and probably would be prosecuted. Substantially, a threat was used with regard to the giving of the voto. I am not at all of opinion that Hatta way was doing anything improper in the matter, because believing Dovell wrongly on the roll he conceived that he ought to prevent him from recording his vote, and therefore did not hesitate to threaten to prosecute him. The effect would be added to the offence by making the threat a atrongar influence on Dovell. The result is that we think the vote of Hattaway recordod for the respondent should be diaollewod. The question remains what la to happen with regardj to the |vote j Dovell (undoubtedly had and which he was prevented from iccording. We think this vote cannot be . given t» tho petitioner so as to make on , equality of voting. This vote, therefore, is [ one which was prevented from boing given, and which if given, would havo gone to tho : petitioner, making him equal with respon dent. That boing tho cose, ore we to ] say that there has been a duo election. We think not. Dovell's vote, if given, would have sufficed to mako tho voting equal, and then it is hard to say how the Returning Officer would have given hia vote, Therefore we think: this avoid election. In giving this decision, wo must mako some observations with regard to th. mode 1$ which tho cloo tie;; was conduoted at Otabnhu. Wo think it plainly ?,'ps not in accordance with the Ac-.. We are l>ot satisfied it was tho duty of tho Returning "ffieor to inform tho candidates he intended Ik .have separate boxes, but it is clear that if ha issd tnem, they should be under hia own care t.-'d in spection, Tho election as conducted he;M ia calculated to produc.douctrui' confnslon The result/, that Mix votes wero oc: pickc'. and theytniglit possibly be badoue*. Ho dU. not think it necessary to rent the decf.v' >n on this , oint, but wished to state chat c, o on that ground it does not appear quite i\m ■ what tho cftect would bo upon the elecricn We rest our decision on intiraldotion - Hattaway .'and tho judgment in tho WsJ. nui case supports tho view wo hove taken, Mr Justice Gillies concurred in what the Chief Justice had just stated. He considered that the principle adopted in tho Wakanui case applied tc this, inasmuch as tho majority ol tho successful candidate was too sum-1. If there had been a majority of ten oi twenty votes, there would bo no ground foi disallowing tho election; but whoro the result waa narrowed down to one vote, and that one prevented from being given, it was sufficient to declare tbo election void. Ho probably felt even stronger than the Chief Juatico about the non-ticked six namos for which voting papers were issued. Jt seemed to him that whon tho con duct of an elector was such as to render it uncertain whether six votes wero properly given or not, and with out the opportunity allowed to candidates of testing their validity, the election should be void. It was not necessary to deal with tbat, however. He simply concurred with the Chief Justice that the election waa void. On tho other ground the pctitionor was ordered to pay the costs in all cose, except Hattaway's. No oosts were|altowed eithoi for or against tho Returning Officer. Hat taway was granted a certificate of indemnity from prosecution for giving evidence.

Fears are entertained for the safety of the Island-tiading schooner Edith, owned by Mr Otto, fruiterer, Auckland, and in charge of Captain Hughes. The Edith left Suva for Eva last December, and was expected to reach Auckland in January, bnthas'not been heard from since. It will be remembered that a severe hurri cane was experienced in the vi.initypf Tonga on December 13, and it is just possible that the Edith may have suffered thereby. On the other hand, it is quite possible that Captain Hughes may have accepted a fresh charter at the Islands, and may be now on the way to Auckland. Mi: Otto has written to Fiji for information, nnd is anxiously expecting an answer by the next steamer from thence.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"LONDON ASSURANCE."

I 111 Tbe announcement of the production of Dion Boucicault's first and most celebrated comedy, " London Assurance," at the Royal Theatre last evening, was sufficient to draw a good house, Tho characters werecast as follows;— Dazzle, Mr D. H, Harkins ; Sir Harcourt Courtly, Mr L, McGowan; Charles (his son), Mr Arthur Elliott; Max Harkaway, Mr J. J, Welsh ; Adolphus Spanker, Mr C, D. Robertson ; Mark Meddle, Mr J. P. West; Cool, Mr Gerald Dillon ; Martin, Mr F. Gerald; Solomon Isaacs, Mr J. B, Brooks; Lady Gay Spanker, Miss Jennie Watt Tanner; Graco Harkaway, Misa Maggie Kuight; Pert, Miss Ethel Adelle. Although Mr Harkins has not given tho part of Dazzlo the same amount of study as he must have bestowed on his best Sbake.perian rolea, he succeeds in giving a very faithful portraiture of tho character. The Sir Harcourt of Mr McGowan and the Charles of Mr Elliott were mest successful represen tations, if we make an exception concern ing the "make up" of the former. It certainly did not convey the impression of a middle-aged coxcomb baronet. "Dolly " Spanker, by Mr Robertson, was a trifle weak, some of the best points in a decidedly good part being entirely lost. A word of praise is due to that painstaking actor, Mr J. P. West. He made the most of the somewhat unimportant patt of Meddle tho lawyer, and caricatured the professional verbosity of the pettifogging attorney in a manner that appealed direct to the risible faculties of the audience, Misa Jenny Watt Tanner's imper. onalion of exuberant Lady Gay _panker was excellent, indeed we do not remember an occasion on which who have been beetter pleased with this l&dy.B acting. Miss Maggie Knight made a charming Grace, but the represen tation waa by no means aa meritorious as some of hor recent essays. This evening Richelieu is announced.and asMrHarkins's rendition of the character, of the great Cardinal Is highly spoken of, we anticipate a genuine treat.
