AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

THB Auckland Presbytery met at 10 o'clock Uiis morning. P.otwt: the Key. >X F Macaicol (Moderator), J. Maoky, T. Norrle, A. Carrick, T. M. Frazer, G. B. Monro, Jas. Bruce, T. \Y. Dunn, W. Moßae, B.

Thk Nk n Plymouth Emi; aocilio.—Tho Eev Mr Carrick, who, with Mr Bell, had been appointed on coinuiisiion to proceed to New Plymouth to arrange the differences in the Presbyterian Church there, reported to the Presbytery ings were held, reports of which have appeared ia the papers. At the first meet .inir held at the New Plymouth Council Chambers, he (Mr Carrick) had presided, and had asked the Key. Mr Breach certain 'questions for the inforniation of the Presby tery which, however, he declined to answer. Mr Broach bad denied the power of tin ,Comroimoa to deul with the matter, whim ho (Mr Carrick) asked him if he denied that he had not requested tho Presbytery to ap. pointthe Cominißsi«. --MrBreach : "Yes, 'hut not a wire-pulUr, like you. —He had stood the abuse with an exceeding amount of magnanimity, and his calmness Dad been something miraculous. Next miming he advertised a further meeting, to be held at St. Andrew's Cnurcb, <and subsequently b«ing told privately that it was intended to bring charges against members of the Presbytery. The evidence ho had received was quite sufficient, and he determined that if anything damnatory waa said concerning the Presbytwy he would'closo the communication at once. Mr • Breach laboured to obtain a packed meet ing of hU friends, and it was composed of elements rarely found together. There were gome there who were not Presbyterians, and they had broujht them to confer with •them. As the meeting wa« an adjourned oae he (Mr Carrick) should have been ap- Minted chairman, but the meetiug ap pointed Mr Boswell, which was an uncon atttutional proceeding. That gentleman courteously offered to vacate the ctair in his favour This, however, he would not agree to though he atated that if theie was aa abuse of tho Commission or the Presbjtery, he would close tlao Commission. He had determined not to stand any approximation to abUße, Which he had done at the pre vious meeting for the purpose of bunging out facts and character. The authority of the Commission was again questioned, when he answered, " Our authority is from the Probytery." The question was then nnt "Who gave the Prejbytery authority,' the person who put it stating that the power in connection with the church was merely a matter of iinance. The speaker then said " Not at all. If you look at the Acts of the General Assembly you will see all the power was placed in the handß of the Auckland Presbytery. "- Stfr Breach, who had previously declined to answer questions, offered to reply, and he asked him did £50 represent the available resources of the Presbyterian Church of New Plymouth, and is the cause repre sented by a man who can only raise £50 a year Bow was this to be explained? Was the congregation so small nud so poor? These questions wero no t answered. He had, however, elecited that the gacred exercises and spiri taal duties were pwformed by the manager, and not by the elders, which he felt sure was more than the Presbytery would tole rate He also found that recently, on two Sabbaths, no morning service was held in the church } and he was informed the ser vice on these days had been held at the Sabbath-school, some distance from the church In conclusion he said that he was of opinion that the matter of Mr Breach's discourses was not fitted for edification. Oiitßiders seemed to take one view of the case • that a change would lead eventually be a eood congregation. Those who had ioined the Wesleyan hodj would came back at once were a good minister ap nninted A resolution had beon curried at ?he second meeting to the effect that the meetings were thoroughly satisfied wlth Mr Breach, and that the interference of the Presbytery was recalled for,-Mr Bell also Ldo a lengthy statement, in the course of which be raid he believed that the man, McLauehlin, who hed acted with Mr Breach, Winded to fight the Pres bytery, having got hold of the deeda and keys of the churcl..- Aiter a lengthy discussion, a report was entered in the minutes, and it was resolved, "That the Presbjtery, having carefully conudered all the circumstances of the ca?e, sever the pastoral tie existing between the Rev. Mr Breach and the congregation at New Plymouth, and his case be reported to the Church Extension Committee."—The Moderator then r#ad the following telegram from the Key. Mr Breach to the Key.

It was also resolved, " That the Commissioners having reported that thero might be some difficulty in ob taining tho chorcb, the trustees or the church he instructed to assist the Bey.

THE CONDEMNED MUR DERER.

Preparations for His Execution

The necessary arrangements for the execu tion of Winiata, which takes place on Friday next, are bring made as rapidly as, possible. Carpenters are at present engaged in the construction of the scaffold inside the gaol enclosure.and it is already approaching completion. It is intended to have the trap, rope, and piiions on a new and im proved principle, in order that; the last dread penalty of the law may be carried iflto effect swiftly and effectively, and with out any chauce of a hitch occurring. The trap will be made on a model known as the double-flap, worked with a patent bolt. Pinions men as have keen used previously will be dispensed with, and any m«vem<nt of the limbs will be prevented by a kind of harness or joined jbelts, which a»e strapped around the prisoner's body. Thp necessity fpr tying the knot will be pbvitttcd by a slip noose, the rope runn? iag through a ' smooth eyelet h»le. It is eaid thr.t the services pf the lopal hangman will not be called into requisition on lhis occasion, the authorities h»visg discovered that the man who O»lcrafted Hiroki is a prisoner in Mount Eden gaol. He has consented to perform the terrible duty on this oocaeiou. ' iPiniata's Demeanour.

The prisoner Winiata awaits his d«om with ;ip>purent indifference. He devotes a considerable portion of the day to the stndy of the Hely Scriptures and various tbeolo? gical works which have been proyidf d fojr his use. He professes to have no fear ot death whatever, and repeals that while man ban found him g«jlty, God knows that he is innocent. To al| thoso who visit him is bia pell Winiata asserts that he is not guilty pf the crime with which he is charged. In recent ConrersatioßS with Rev. Mr Wallis, he says that he did not get to Cleghorn'a farm until fiye o'clock: on the morning of tbe murder, and that when he arriypd there hp saw smoke issuing from the kit chen chimney. On proeeedjog to 'door of Packer'a room, hp s»w blood, and then fearing that hp would be acensed with the commission of the crime, he ran away. He nqrr saj.s lie did upt see i ths half-caste at all thaf morning, al|housh in Ms statement toNewtpn he is said to have admitted that he accompanied the half-caita to the farm at daybreak, and that bis companion struck the fatal blows. Mr Wallis asked Winiata if tho half-caßte f|,nd Packer had hsid any 1 quarref and he repl|ed thaf. they Ji'ad not, and that he knew of no other rpaspn for foe crime thin that the half-c«ste considered Packer to be a bad man, and said he \voiild kill him. Such a motive for the commission of murder does appear to be yery strarige and unlikely indeed. Lppkipg bapk at tjie report pf the triaj, toe,the evidenoe shewed that there was little or no blood about the door of the room and the prisoner makes no, attempt to explain why he should have jumpedat so hasty a conclusion as that Pac ker had been killed because he saw a few drops of blood at the entrance to the room. We may add that the prisoner is vigited daily by Rev. Mr Wallis, while Ajchd,ea* con Maunsell attends upon him'frequcntly, and the Rev. Thomas Buddie also calls upon him at intervals. Seeling of the Natives.

There appears to be no foundatipn wb.as ever for the statements circulated that the relatives of the pondetijnefi man aiifl th'p Kingitcs regard the sentence as " Kobnra." Information, derived from various sources, tends to the conclusion that they believed Winiata to be guilty, and that his puniih ment is deserved. 'Ihe prisoner has re ceived two letter* during the present'weok from his byothprs_ in Wdikato, They urge him in these epistles to be patient and courageous undar his trials, and desiring him "He thou strong." $o mentjqn }s made of any objection to the course of tb,e law or of tbe ioteutipn tp be rpveijgad upon the Europeans, and the inference is that they also believed their brother to beguilty, An influential chief, writing to a friend in Auckland, states his conviction fhat Winiata committed the crinie, and musf therefore bear the punishment. Mr Dufuar, who defended the condemned man. in his recent trial, b,ad an interview., with Tawiiiao "-and jpme o{' hH peop'.e the other day, when thoy appeared to be indifferent to the pri?oner'« fate, Tawhiao said the crimo was Winiata's, and there was no reason why there should be any trouble on his account among the Kingitc people. Tv Tawhiao also said the Kin^ites were principally vexed at the means adopted for Winiata's capture. If

Pucker's relatives had come and taken him it wonld have been fair and juat, aa bis body should be payment for the Bin, but for Barlow, who pretended to be his friend who had slept in the sruno house and eaten from the aame diah, to betray him, WflS very wrong and treacherous. Tawhiao again remarked that both men—Winiata and Barlow—were murderers. Winiata had killed a man for money, and Barlow had given np one of his own people to death for money. Reference waß also made to what had occurred to Winiata'a friends on the night of his capture. It waa stated that one of the men had been Mnce very ill, but had recovered, while nuother was expected to die. The two men were of opinion that they had been poisoned, or some stuff given to them to make them, sleep, The Kingites deny the statement that Puretigareuga, Winiata's father, was determined to murder some European us ■u/ii, and point to the tacts that he is too old and feeble* to be dangerous, and also thatl he had already stated that as Winiata had taken hia own course, ha did not intend to interfere; that he wouldbeliberated if found I to be innocent, and if guilty he would have to suffer. Kerei Kaibau, Tutatn, Te Ngaebe (tho King's son), and Te .Ngnkau denied that men were to be sent to Man gere or ehewhere to take ISarlow's life, or that there was nny foundation for the rumours that violence was threatened, ''hey considered that the reports were circu lated by Europeans for the object of gett iug additional constabulary stationed at Alexandra. Nothing, they say, would be done to Barlow so long as lie remained away from the King Country. It is stated that the Kingites intend this week to show their friendly feelings towards Europeans, by presenting the Constabulary at Alex andra with 22 bullocks and 40 pigs.
