ehe was at the school-mistross s house. I hind-cufftd the prisoner, and as I cautioned him in tllo usubl manner> he sa^> " * wouldn't help it! she was naggine at me all ni<rht" H° maintained his ibullen de meanour and.was very uncommunicative. Besides the doctor, Mr Frater, prisoner and mvsetfi there were only two or three of the farm employe* present. After leaving the house I impressed the trap of Mr Willie, carrier, of Puriri Bill, and he drove the nrisonet and myself straight into town, where I at once repoited myself to Super intendent Thomson. We started about 2 o'clock and arrived between ssven and eight. The Prisoner's Character.

I have known the prisoner personally for the last eight years, and so far as 1 have had an opportunity of judging he always seemed to me a quiet soit of man, with never very much to say to an;one. When I first made hi-) acquaintance he was wotk» ing at Whitcfoord fa.rk for Mr Nathan, and was living there with the deceased, who was his Becond wife. Af tqr that he entered the Bor,vicß of. Maclean Brother^ at Penrose, but .some two or. three,,years ago he la-entered Mr Nathan's employ, and has liyed on the estate ever since. Hft was not a total abstained it is true, but I neve!1 heard that he gave way to drink. I was awire that he and his wife did not live happily together, and that thby had fre quent quarrels. I did not know tac cte-j ceased at all. .

ihe Prisoner's Accoitnt, Since hii ,iind especially duiins Ih'd ..trip into town last night, the prisoner has made certain statements concerning the murder, the substanre of which is tbat bis wife had' been "nagging" at. him (as he terms it) on the previous night, and that so continued to do co yesterday morning. Ihey had breakfast together, and then proceeded to dress ia order to attend mass at the Howick chapel, whither they wtro accus tomed to walk on Sunday mornings, He put on part of a black cloth suit, and thon finding that a clean shirt had not been pre pared for him, he asked his wife to iron one. She was already dressed and refuted to do so, whereupon he procured the box iron in order to do it himself. It? was at this stage, and probably while the unfortu nate woman was making come part ' ing remarks of a scornful nature beforej having the house, thfct the enraged husband pounced upon her, knocked her down, and in his infuriate passion battered her face and temples into pulp. He seoms to be attached to his daughter, and it is part ot his complaint against the deceased tint (lie treated tbe child with un necessary harshness Mr Nathan has always found Crowley to be a hardworking and faithful servant, and the neighbours speak of him as quiet and inoffensive. Within the last ten days or so, however, he has been somewhat morose, and several eccentricities have been observed in connec tion with him. AmoDgst other things he was seen ploughing tbe other day in his best clothes, a circumstance which would strike country settlers as more odd than townspeople would feel inclined to regard it,

Ci'Oivley's Bearing, The prisoner displays no emotion, and manifests no disposition to talk. He freely admits his criminality, and his only con cern seems to be tbat his child should have secured to her a sum ot £100 that lies to his credit at the Bank. Several persons who have conversed with him are inclintd to think that he is not quite compos mentis, but whether he is really deranged, or is merely dafced by the horror of the situation in which he haa placed himself, they are not prepared to say. MrE. He9kCtb, having been retained by Mr David Nathan to watch the case for the defence, proceeded to the lock-up this morning, and had an interview with the prisoner. He found him vtry dull of understanding, and had the greatest diffi culty in getting him to comprehend the purport of the visit. Even then he did not succeed, for after explaining again and again to the prisoner that he was acting on his behalf, the latter merely answered in a stolid and spiritless sort of way tbat it was a fine day, and that he sappofed there would be some gentle man in the Court to speak for him. Both the prisoner and his victim are Irish Roman Catholics.

The Prisoner Before the Court.

The prisoner wag brought up at the Police Court this morning, and charged with the wilful murder of his wife. Ho is a heavily-whiskered and boarded man with a dull and. unintelligent appearance, which his unkempt hair and uncultivated beard and wkiskejs cer tainty did cot tend to improve. He wore an old blue sac coat wiih the collar turned up round his neck and the. remainder of his clothing was con cealed trom view. Upon being charged he made some muttered response, the signification of which was not caught even by those who were nearest to him. Superintendent Tbonvon immediately eaid: Your Worahips.in this case the pri soner was only brought into town at a late hour lust night, and i have, therefore, to ask for a remand for eight days, In the meantime, the inquest will take place. It is fixed for to-morrow, and it is not neces sary to go into the circumstances unti' then, Mr E. Hesketh said : I appear, Your Worships, for the defence. The adjourn ment which has been proposed will suit me, and I, therefore, offer no objection to it. The case was| accordingly remanded till Tuesday next, the proceedings having only lasted a couple of minutes. The Court room was crowded, but there was no manifestation of feeling from the spoota'ora.

lhe Inquest ■will be opened at eleven o'clock1 to-morrow morning on Whiteford Farm estate, before Captain Kelts, the district coroner,to whom the reports of Dr. Fitzgerald and Constable Gill have already been sent. The prisoner will leave town at 7 a.m. to-morrow, in charge of two constables, and Sergt Gamble will probably represtnt the police author; ties at the Inquest. Ho left for the dis trict to-day, after the Police Court business was over. Mr R. Walker (Mayor of Par nell), and W. J, Hurst were the presidirg justices this morning.

The Murder of Mr. Mair.

CAPTAIN Mcßumey, of the labour rchooner Mana, informs us that the captain of H.M.S. Espiegle visited him when anchored at Cape Lisbourne io make enquiries about the mnrderers of the late Mr Mair and the other vistims of the outrage on the boats' crews of tho Isab'elle. The Government agent (Mr Rebman) went ashore at Vbivoi, a friendly village, lo try to get speech of the natives, but they, frightened of the war-fhip, kept in the bush, and no t one showed himself. They came down next day after noticiue the footsteps, when the captain and Mr jtebman were again on shore, but to t^ e inquiries made tney would give very Jittle hopes of producing the murderers. In reference to the above, Mr ftebman (Government agent of the Marr^ when i n Mew Zealand, was requested by the rela-j tives of the late Mr Mair ( 0 t ry (, 0 recover ' his remains Xhi« he 'promised to do, and Captain Mcßurneyr^jjgguj.gji {„ b r j ng them to Fiji, although sn perstitiouß fears of the crew, a-^ wß^ a9 o f th e immigrants, had to be 0~ /ercomo- Mr Rebman had re ceived a^ accura te description of the place where tnese rema ins were interred from Mr H'lre, and was able to find it without diffi culty. He accordingly secured them, and brought them on board the Mana, when they were properly packed in quicklime. They will, we understand, be sent to Mew Zealand by first opportunity, The Reported Outrage on the Lord of the Isles.

The arrival of the Mana has renewed the re P or?s formerly brought as to duaatw having occurred to the Lord of the Isles. There is but the foundation of native report for tbis story, and the captain and Govern ment agent ot the Mana inform us there is not much reliance to be placed on the rumour. The fact that the Government agent of the Lord of the Mes had written from Havana Harbour to a friend here, saying that they contemplated following a route quite out of the iisual track of labour vessels, would account for her not being seen by other recruiting ships, and is re assuring as throwing a doubt at beißg at thefplace (near Santo) where the attack is said to have taken place.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF MR HAMILTON.

The Inquest Unsatisfactory, and Police Enquiry Commenced,

The circumstances surrounding the death of Hugh Aitken Hamilton, at Newton, on Wednesday last, were of such an unusual nature that much com ment has been made respecting the Case, The evidence taken at the inquest is incom plete in many respects, and the police, prompted by the fee ling of some of tho re latives, have taken the matter in hand for fuller general investigation, and principally to discover, first where Hamilton was be tween 10.30 p,m, on the 27th, and 1 or 2 a.m. on tbe following morning, ftnd secondly, whether it fl ere possible he might have been injured anywhere else except within his owh hoUso. . . ..

A SrAft reporter interviewed Mrs.Mnriari Hamilton^ widow of deceased, this after, noouj the object of clearing. Up a few doubtml points. Mis Harttilifln vat present residing at her mother's house, neifi to , her own cottage, and although still evidently very . Weak awing to recent excitement, furnished our reprb sontatne with full particular* of thtj a'ceidt-nt so far as she knew, and answered all things clearly and without reserve. We need not again go over the facts roported at the inquest; and will oonfino the present statement to not? facts elicited. .Mrs Hamilton saifl :--'*!. tuft my hiisliaod at 7 o'clock pa the evening.of tho 27th, when he went to attend n nieetiug of the Orange Lodge. Before goiDg out he par took of meat, cabbage, and potatoes, but refused to drink tea, although I specially at keel him to do so. Bis re fusal induced me to believe ho had partaken of too much liquor. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on the following morning I was Jying awako in bed with an infant in my arms, when t heard my husband cater at tho kitiiUon door. I called to him not to remove the kerosene lamp front my room. I thought he made some reply, but it must have been a groan; As I heard no assent to my request 1 called and asked, "Is anything the matter?" Still there was "tio reply, .and presently I heard a heavy fall, which shook the room m which I my. I immediately laid down the infant and went into tho back bedroom, where I saw my bttsband strug gling to get dp from the floor near die bet>; Without speaking i went to my balrooiit for a light, and before I had time to rettltn I hoard another fall, and upon going into the passage found Mr Hamilton groping lvs way towards my room, He laid hold of me and said, " I have fallen and cut my head on the bedstead, and its bleeding so freely that I feel quite faint. Please take me to another room ; I am bound to let my Wife know to-night." He was then uii conscious ot my presence. He never spoke after that. I succeeded in getting him into the back bedfootli, and placed him upon the bed, shortly after which ho commenced vomiting. I knew that ho had sustained a severe wound, but never saw it, owing to the great flow of blood. I got a sponge and a buckot of water, and bathed tho blood from his f uce. This I continued to do until between four and five o'clock. When I called my mother, Mis NeilsOn, who lives ntxt door.

the being an invalid was Unable to render me any assistance. I sent Mr A; NoiUoo, jun., for Dr. Walker, who arrived bbtweett 6 and 7 o'clock when Mrs Robert rlcilson came in and attended to his wants, I re member no more, as 1 was then removed from the house unconscious."

Mm Hamilton, upon it being suggested that it was strange a doctor was not sent for earlier, said, " Well, you see I was in such a sta'e of excitement; almost deranged in fact, and did not. think the injuries were of a serious nature."

Dr. Dawson, who attended Hamilton in company with Dr. Walker, is of opinion both wounds were caused inside of the bouse, because _ while blood was freely sprinkled ineide of the cottage, there was not the least sign of any outside. To enter by the back door, he says Hamilton had to go up a narrow passage, and here there was evi dence of somebody having stumbled, but no signs of blood. The medical gentle man further stated that he was not sure that the wounds would have proved fatal had medical assistance been obtained earlier, tor no examination of the braiu having been made he could not tell how far it bad ieen effected by the woundc Either or both wounds may have been cauccd by a fall against the Iron bedstead, once falling forward and then backward. l)r Dawson says he found Hamilton lying upon his back fully dressed excepting the coat, which he had sot heard of siliCo. It was when liftiag his bead to place a bandage on tho wound on the temple that he discovered the second cut behind tho head, This was a mere abrasure of the skin, and might have healed iv a week. Thus we hsve the two different statements of the doctor and Mrs Hamilton and apart from this there is little to learn. Mrs Hamilton's statement gives c'early an account of two falls and therefore it is probable two wounds were sustained. Why medical attendance was not sooner obtained is explained, and the only matter is now requiring explanation is, Where was Hamil ton during the time from 10.30 p.m. to 1 ? during which time he is not reported to have been anywhere. He left the York Hotel at the former lime, and arrived home between one and two a.m. ; consequently, this circumstance requires investigation. Detective Strathearn has beea making diligent enquiry through out to-day, but, up to a late hour, nothing fresh bad been discovered. We might, in conclusion, suggest that great trouble and anxiety to all concerned, would be saved by any persons who saw Hamilton during the time he is repor ted missing giving such information to the police without delay.

MINING NEWS.

>y te;,eciraph.-own cobresponiekt.]

COROMANDEL, this day, Tokatea, —On Saturday afternoon one hundred and twenty pounds of picked stone were got in breaking down in the rise from the low level. Tbe reef is strong, and looks well for more, The gold in the stone got on Saturday is of ths same coarse character as was got when the cross-cut was carried in below. Later. The gold got on Saturday was not from the iise, but from the face of the low level, about 20 feet past the rice.

Bismarck.- The tributers have got about 300lba of |stone in the strong box, baying saved any one in which colours are visible, intending to treat the whole in a single stamper. A few pounds are very rich aud probably a hundred pounds would crush as picked sione. This gold is coming from the winze, within 501t of tho Tokatea boundary. XAPANGA, — The contractors, cutting from the low level, cut Scotty's reef on Satnrday, running strong in splendid country. All doubts as to the permanency of this reef are now settled. Mining matters throughout the held looK prosperous. A number of miners have re turned from Te Aioha and other places. There Is still an nnsatisfied demand for men!

The Southern Cross have not yet broken down in the drive weßt of No. 3 reef. The winze was sunk about 3ft. lower tban No. 4 level, and gold was seen in the reef at the bottom. The proposal for continuing this wioze on the reef down to the 640 feet level is under consideration, and will probably be carried into effect. The distance would be about 350 feet. Were this done, a splendid cur rent of air would be created, and it would also test the ground and prove the identity of the. lodes in the deep. level. The south drive has been advanced 36 feet. Twice the contractors started, and the country now in the face is ot a better class for gold than that passed through before thereof was cut. ■ , , Pbincb Imperial.—Another parcel of gold, weighing 43ozs. 12dwts., was banked on Saturday, making the grand melted total for the month, 2,7840z5. 12dwts. The AtBaBHiA cleaned up and retorted to-day for 64Jozs, reduced in the melting to 53ozs 7dwt a gold. Thirhr-four loaoa from the stopes on Dixon's reef and McLean's leader were treaty, J also about 20 loads from a, leader in the foot-wall of the Black Afgcl winze, but this latter parcel only gave about Boz9. gold.
