For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that ceeds.rcsist»LC« For tho future in the distancs, And tho goad that we can do.

Now that tho personal feelings about "wholesale and retail views of harbour improvements have cooled down, we trust that the Harbour Board will address itself to the task of considering a scheme of per manent works, to the development of which all future expenditure shall bs directed. It is unfortunate for tho public that tho little breeze about eastern versus western wharves should have cost the community between two and three thousand pounds) for a wooden 'I 1 that is doomed before the first pile has been driven, but even that sain will be well spent if it arouses attention to tho miserable policy of piece-meal waste which has char acterised our harbour expenditure. I'or le^s money than has been lrittered away in making and patebmg wooden wharves and abortive works, a. permanent tidal basin might have been formed, in which vessels could discharge in perfect shelter from every wind, and,if need be, sccuredagainst the rise and fall of tide. In singular contrast to the tinkering ot Auckland is the substan tial work done under tenfold greater dis advantages by the Harbour Board at Lyttelton, one of the mo>t successful and far-seeing representative bodies in Hew Zealand. There is no divided opinion cutside the Board that the day of small thin«s and temporary works is over, and that every shilling of money spent unnecessarily upon wooden structures is a wilful waste of public funds. The day of petty peisoDal wire-palling, sslf-intereat, and'narrow prejudice has cominued too lorjg, and a longsulierinj; public still hope to see the Board lists at last to a conception of the importance of Auckland as a seaport, and resolvtd to make the shipping accom modation second to noce in the world. The notice of motion placed on the paperon this subject for to-morrow's meeting will, we tiust, prove efficacious in prooioting a consumma'Jon so devoutly to be wished,

It was reported in a cablegram published a few dajstaso that tha Agent-Generals fpr the Coioiiif* were lo be placed on the same

change is a measure marking Earl Derby's assumption of the seals oE Ihe Colonial Office. The Agent-Generals are to be enter tained at a royal reception when the auestion of their precedence will come up for discus ion. From the reference, it would appear that tho whole thing resolves itself after all into a mere question of Court etiquette; and while it may perhaps be a gratifying thing for Sir Dillon Bell nnd hia brother representatives to be told to go up higher in the royal leception hall, the feeling in the colonies on the subject, will, we venture to think, be one of p:ofound indifference.

At the Police <Jourt this afiernom, Mr Theo.

It appear< thut during the hours "set apatt for ladies the baths are daily frequented by r. number of prostitutes, •who ore, by their conduct and language, gradually driving the respectable portion of frequenters away. Our Ciiy ('otincilloM havo been written to on the subject twice, and havo replied that they have no power to restrict them from using the baihs, I think, sir. that something ought to be done in tho matter, or the baths will have to be given up by respectable people altogether, as no one cares for his wife or daughter going with the surety of mixing with that class of pcoplo I append my name, and can prod-jce the reply from City Council at any time. Trusting that you will insert this in t!ie cause of public morality,—l am, &c, VEKirAii.

A promineut Good Templar of Now Ply mouth incautiously went to sleep in the Public Institute the other day. A malicious wag, thinking thii a good opportunity for a pract'eal joke, placed a bottle of schnapps and a glass in fiout of the unconscious sleeper. A large number of people visited tho Institute, and, as may be imagined, the spectaclo theie presented excited much scandal amond the virtuous people of New Plymouth. vV hat can • not' be imagined, however, is the horror of the worthy man wacn he woke and found what a thame less joke had been perpetrated upon him.

To the Editor : Sir,—Kindly allow mo in reply to your correspondent " Candour," in last Ihur.-day'a i-a&uc, to str»te iliat " the evidently well-grounded lumnur" as lo subterfuges to s;cure the subversion of the proposed rifle match between the No. 3 and Victoria Compauics, relafci not to the Victoria Company, but to tkiiv opponents, inasmuch a? No. 3 Company, conscious of their inability to meet the Victoria's on their rueiits, are now Using their best en deavours to compile a team out of stvc-rul companies, instead of placing a bond fide No. 3 iearn on the ground. I may cay,

however, that tbia is not a "rumour," but

a fact, <ia it is well known that at least five of the beat shots of another Auckland com paiiy have joineo tlie "> o. 3 since the match was arrange il, and for the speoinl purpose of competing in the match. I'ndcr these civ cimis'ancas, especially affcfi1 Wo. 3'a daring cba'icngeto the whole district the Victoria's are mere than justified in claiming that, the companies shonid compote as they stood at the lime of the chal'enpe, without either draining other companies of their marks men for this purpose.

OUT-DOOR SPORTS.

CRICKET.

THGasscrtiou recently made in thesecolumns that Auckland i°. tho home of New Zealand cricket, was amply borne out on Saturday by the number of " knights of the willow " who turoed out on the Domain Ground. Must of the players wore the unifoimsof their club 3, but the effect, so far as a spectacle is concerned, was marred by the few who did not conform with the rule, Nothing to our mind has such a bizarre effect as a cricketer attired in black trousers and a " ba'd-h'.tlC"." Thirteen matches were played on the grounds, and several county machos, the results of which have not yet reached v.-1, also cjme oil. Ciicket cannot be very languid in a town that finds 300 cricketers Saturday aft r Saturday. We must not neglect to mention that the wickets weie hard and dry ■■ certainly not nt nil favourable to the ruuning up of big scores.

The Wairoa cricketers, who are to tiy conclusions with several of the local clubs, were to leave Dnrgaville, en rou'efor Auok lautl, at.'! o'clock this morning, and may be expected to arrive here late this afternoon. It hnd been arranged that their first match should bo with the North t-hore Club, but we understand there is a doubt aa to the ability of the trans-Waitcmata plajers to raise a team for Wednesday, the day lixcd for thn opening match. Should this arrange ment fall through, the Our Boys' Club will fill the bread). The many Wuiroans in town are very sweet on the chances of their men, and are confident that they will win more matches than they lose here.

Umted v. OTAHUiir,

The Auckland United and Otahuhu were to have played their iirst match this season on Saturday la<t, but owing to the in ability of the latter to raise a team, a scratch cloveu, captained by King, met the United, IvingVi tcim scared 50, (Jroßson being highest sourer. The United scored GO for !) »Kko'..3, C. Mac'Jarmieic aud Yatea doing best The scoring w&s rather small on both sides.

AT the Police Court, Grahatnstown, on Saturday, tho charge against Mr W. W. Gudgeon, lor an alleged attempt to commit a rape on Mrs Ehreafried, wife of Louis Ehreafricd, wa3 investigated before His Worship Harry Kemick Krq., K.M.

Mr Tyler and Mr Miller appeared for the pruecutor. Mr'Jheo. Cooper stated that he had, in the unavoidable absence at the Waikato of Mr Kdwin ILsketb, been instructed to appear to watch the case ou behalf of the defendant.

On the application of Mr Cooper, all wit nesses were ordered out o c the hearing of the Court.

Ou the application of Mr Tyler, the Court was ordered to be cleared of spec tators. This order was carried into effect by tha police. The Court was densely crowded, and His Worship's order met witn considerable disapproval, manifesting itself in audible hisses from many of the disappointed crowd. His Worship threat ened to commit those who were creating tho disturbance, and the Court was finally cleared.

Mr Tyler then opened the case tor the prosecution, detailing tliß evidence he pro posed to adduce, and then called Elizabeth Khi'cufiicd sworn deposed : I am the wife of (Louis Ehrenfried, a bretver residing in Shortland, in Mary.street and Mackay-street.

SUPPOSED MURDER OF HUGH A. HAMILTON.

Trial of tJie Prisoners.

The Police Court was densely crowded j this morning with people anxious to hear j the case against Thcs. Priestley and Mis I Hamilton. They stood in rows six or sevuu feet dtep, and as the iloor is quite level, those who were furthest from the front, had the'greatest difficulty in seeing what went on ia the Cuurt. A considerable number of women were present among the audience, atid, like the men, took the greate.t interest in the proceedings. At 10.30 o'clock Mr H. G. Seth Smith, 8.M., took his seat on the Bench, and alter the usual number of lidiUDks"bad been disposed or, Thomai Foley Cjllon Priestley ami Miriam Kobert-on Hamilton were,duiy placed in the dock. They were attired in the same dicsi as that which they wore on the occasion of their la9t appear ance and their demeanour had not altered in any way. It was not considered necessary to charge them again. Mr narl taid: May it please Yonr Worship £1 appear for the prisoner, Thomas Priestley; and, as the hearing of the case is likely to last the whole day, 1 have to ask that my cliint may be accommodated with a chair, I also wish to bring under your notice a thing wh.ch I hope your Worship will assist to mitigate and remedy. On visiting the accused Xhomas Priestley, this morning in tie Lckup, I found him herdtd together in one cell with all the prisoners ■wto ba\e just appeared before your Worship, The emell was highly ab .minable, and it mast have been greatly injurious to a maa like the prisoner in a weak state of health. Uhe police should take tha trouble to conserve the health of their prisoners. Why such a man should be herded together with all .the other prisoners when he was guttering from ill health, I cannot imagine. Perhaps Your Worship would make som3 expression of opinion on the matter.

His Worship said that it was a matter for the police to attend to. « Mr Cooper th n announced that he appeared for thepusoner Mrs Hamilton and he now applied that the should be accomo dated with a seat.

Both prisoners were accordingly pro vided wi.h chairs.

Messrs Cooper and Earl complained of the references to the case that had appearSd in the prtss, and the former fcei>tlcman applied that tne Court should be cleared in order t lat the reporters might be prevented from taking down the evidence tat publiea'ion. This application ho afterward 'withdrew. Mr Hudson Wiliiamsoasiid beforo pro ceeding further he would ask that the in formation be auiended in respect of the name of the fenu'.e pisoaer, The name in the ioformjitiou vfaj Miriaa Hamilton, but the re.il name ol'thn female prisoner was Marion 'Hobcrt-on Hamilton.

'ihaniis Folay Colin Priestley,

Mr Hudson Willian^ou, in his npirniug address, s»id the c.isc that would occupy His Worship's attention ihat n>ornicgwas one of"difficulty antt intricacy. One oith culty which the prosecution had to contend agaiasfc was the circutustanca t«at tome week or n fortnight elapsed after t'ua dca'h of Hamilton before jiny steps were taken to discover whether his deatli was a murder or tor. Another diiliculty wa> that tbe principal witnesses were nearly all blood relations, it wa3 a misfortuoe that so much time elapsed bet ween the Coroner's inquest1 and suspicion being aronsed con cerning the cause of death; and in the event of the prisoners; being innocent, iheir delay might have bad a un fortunate effect ia preventing them from explaiuing many circumstacces which, however easy to clear up then, mijK-ht "be difficult to explain now. Jtie ference had been made to the inefficiency of coroners' inquests, aod it would be un necesaaiy lor Lim to refer to their incom pleicnesa in the way of inquiry. Btfoie proceeding to open up the circumatacces of the case, hs th.msjht it would ba better to refer to the principal actors iv tbe scene. Hugh A. Hamiltoa, tho deceased, waa a \oung man of 32 years of agp, who had been omplojed at Messrs A. Clack and Sons in tshprtlacd-sireet He nUf^liyioff in a house ia Mcwtcn, wi'h his wife and three children, at the time of his deilh. Mrs Hamilton h^d heen a Miss Keiison, aod her mother and maiden sister lived next doo: to.her house. Mr Robert fteilsoQ, Mrs Hamilton's brother, only arrived" from the Kay of Islands on the morning that Hugh Hamilton was found to be dead, bis" wife WJ3 living next door to tbe Hamilton's. Ano'hcr brotber was living at Mount »d*»n. A plan would be prepared, giving the rela tive distances from the various houses and places indicated. Itappeaud that Piiest ley, sno'her principal sc'or, waa living in Nelson's house,adj'iining the Humiitons, a* a lodger, lie wai pursuirg his studies under the Key. P. Maaou, for an examina tion he intonded v to pa^s wi'h the view of bettering his condition in life. He wai well acquainted with fho Hamilton's private nud bu=ioees rel-tions, »nd was looked upon as one of the family. Tbete wa« another man named Alexander McDonald, li>ing as a lodger at .Nielsons. and he had breakfast there on tks morning that Hamilton was found dead. That man and Mrs'Culica would complete the list of peisAns to whom he intended to lefer, Ou November 28t!i, the dca'h of Hamilton was repurted to the police, under circum stances which led t.> the necessity for an inquest. The inquitt was held and a verdict of " Accidental Death" leturaed. This verdict did not give exclusive satisfac tion to the friends of dtceased, and en quiries were set on foot by them, which had the result of arousing suspicion concerning tho actual eauso.of deatb." The police were tlien communicated with, aud in cmse quence of the further 'investigations which fiey made, Detective Stratcern siw i'riestley on 'tho. sth Deceicber in the houaa of t;obsrt Keilson, and on tbe same d/.y the pns-'per Miriam iiamilton was intorviuwed in'ihe house of her brctlur, Alexander Neilsoß, ,ot Mount tdeo. Priestley was asked to account for hims--lf, as soma people cotiaidtred that the facts so far as they.hud.come oat conuectcd him witli the murder.

Mr Cooper protected against tlie terra "murd?r" baiug used; the murder was only alleged.'

Mr Witliam>ou replied that tlie jrHoners wer« charged with tUe.oriaie o: murder, &nd ho d d liv; see '.hat any harm w,>s lione by referring to it, iv suoh a way, It was not yet betore a jury. Mr Cooper answered that to speak of it as a mjriicr would tend to prejudice tfce ruiads of the peop'e frdai whom the jury had to be drawn.

,Mr W illiamson said that it strackhim that an Unnecessary fas' was being made about the ma't?r. From his experience of juries, fee knew that they tried ca«cs quite inde pendent of anything they had previ»usly heard or read. His Wor.<hip cxp-css;d the opinion that the point did not matter much. Mr William-op (resuming): At any r.ite a hole was found in ETamilton's skull which ind'c.Ucd that he c 'u'd not have come by hia death bj na'.nral mean?, or in the manner a'lpged by his wife, The police through this faut were induced to J carry on their, enquiries a^d ai a result Prie*t'ey was taken io Mr Supt. Thomson's office and questioucd as to his whereabouts on the night on which the affair happened, Un this ocras:on he voluatee.-ed a state ment, which nnly made matters wo'se for him I/e involved bimsif to a still g'eater extent in c ntradictions, which lift tbc police oo option bat to arrest Idn upon this charge. After hia arrest followed the exhumation of Hamilton's body. A care ful examination of it wa3 made by Doctors Goldst-ro', Walker, and Dawson, when it was s=en that the de ceased could not by any possibility have caused the injury to his skull in the manner described by Mrs Hamilton, viz, through falling against an iron b dstead. Thfl ooctor< were convinced from what they saw that the wound was of such a character that it was quite impossible, in any human probability, that it coold have been caused in the manner asserted by M;s Eami'ton. '1 here was therefore the floc'or'a statement on the one hand acd Mrs Hamilton's ver sion of the affair on ihe oilier. The doctcia ware also prepared to go further, and say that from the nature of the wound they would swear unhesitatingly that after it had been received the man could cot have ri«en up again as the whole frame of the f Uull had bean .shattered by it. The fiac ture exteaded from the crown of the he»d right round to th« batj; of it. The blow

not have beeu caussd by a fail asainst IHI bedstead which was covert dup witli clottj " ing in such a manner thai if any person Hd fail aga'cst it, i.ot even an aeration of tW skin woutd have beea poduced thereby The prosecution hai further evidence to ? show that the prisoners were connected with this deed, aud he would proceed h sta'eit. Independently of the cootradic tory statements which Mra Hamilton had made to the Coroner, Dr Walker and i Detective Sirathern; she had made others I .pt an equally contradictory character, m i 'the inquest she stated that her husband came stumbling imo the house by fim back way, that the called to him not to remove the lamp from her rconj that she then heard a moan acd preset a tall, that she went out into the' passage and found her husbacj : struggling to rise from tie floor that she returned to her room lor the Ibid d * wbeu he fell agaia, and that Ji helped him along to his room, as3iattd him to his bed and spunged big wound until about 5 o'clock ia tbe mo;ning when she sought assistance in W mother's house, next door. Uhis was, too the statement made to Dr, 'Walker.' To ; Mr Cobine she ttated that het I™, band came drunk acd took aßa » tbe light from her room ; that soon afier.:' wards she heard the found of a hea»y fall' and finding that he had fallen, she assUUd' him to rise. 'Jhe lamp bad'gone out birV bf the linht o£ the moon she helped ' him to his bed, and then returned/ to her own, quite ignorant that anvi; thing was the matter with him. To Mi '■!' Macrae who, liise Mr Cobine, was »'■ friend, who called to eDquireafterHanutVi immediately his death was known), :a||| said that her husband came home rJtnnfcv and that, after retidog to his roam behafl: a fall, that she weutto. see what wastte-f matter, when he said.: "I must teilim' wife of this;" that she heard him raoi? after she had gone back to bed and ibaiSj spoke to him several times through thepar. tition which separated the two room's, mj,: that finally she fell asleep and did. not discover her husband's real conditipj ii until the moraiDg. She also took severjf" neighbours into the room, and shewed them where her husband must have tripp^: upon the matting, how he had humf' and the place were his head must ba^ struck so as to ciusj the. wound he lud received. It was well known to His Wor^ sMp that it was a common ■"" thing vitl' prisoners tomakeasfull anassplansibleqtii planations as possible of tbemaiineritt.-jrhi.^; the thin* with which they wee chargid, -:> "had oeeu otherwise, and accidentallydonfc' Tbere was evidence tco, to shew that this prisoner had made preparations for tie attack upon her hasbaud, if an attach: lid; rtally been made. One of the fenailt witnesses who had beon'on terms of i o ti«'_ mate relationship with Mis Hamilton, »to was frequently in her house, and was M!j acquaiDted with its internal economy,would tell the Court that the infant slept u.;i Mrs Hamilton i::. one room, and ttat tt« two eider childrea were accu<totned til' shop ia the s.ims rocm f.s their Jstht.v viz., that in which Le came by hia.dealh, On ttie cv. liiu^-in quos'.ioii, however— tbit ion which tha nun received the v.oaorj- I the two cklcr c':.i!J:ea vc;e reaovati their niolhtr's rcom, so tbat ttitxe shouliU i no cue ia her msbaud's room wiiei;^ I came home.
