was swum, to examine him with reference toHis Honor said that he could not call a witness and then cro.s-cxamine him. The Crown Prosecutor: Mot .'f he is a hostile witness, Your Honor. Bis Honor: Certainly not. _ou have no ritrbt to assume that any witness will bo hostile. Tne letters were then titled as in " Examination continued : On the 15 th Decunber I also found in Fr.-U.tley _ i box several pairs of trousers, a cap, and a j handkerchief spotted with blood. 1 aye the handkerchief and a pair of t-ousers to Mr Pond, the Provincial, Analyst, but I do not know what he did with them. The box was locked.a.d also a -tiling-desk that w-s inside the box. 1 made a further search of tho box on the 4th of this month, when I discovered a blottiog. oad and inside of it a photograph of tbe .en-sue Pooler, a phce of paper, and an acrostic, while when he wus arrested I found tinon him a letter addressed to.myself aim a J_ca of paper containing writing, the latter of which he was anxious to get back, The later addressed I o me is signed, "Thomas F.O.Priestley." Cross-examined by Mr Cooper : I hrst began to nuke cnquiiies iuto Hnmilton's death about the beginning of December, and I saw Mrs Hamilton before I taw any of the witnesses who gave evidence at the Police Court. At that time I had no suspicion agatDst her. Tho statement she made to me was a voluntary oac. She did not say that the heavy fall which shook the houie took place before she returned to bcr xoora for tbe light. When I saw her again the same evening I asked her to point out where he fell, and she did so. She stood at th« door and pointed with her .finger, asd after my linger had indicated one or two places, she said, " That must have been the place, owing to the quantity of blood that I found there." On vhe day before the arrest, viz., the 14th December, Detective Walker went to the female pri soner's house, and saw her there Then she made another statement to Detective Walker, but I am sure that he did not speed the whole time questioning her, I am not aware that the information against her for murder was then prepared. Iliad been making all these enquiries for the pur pose of getting up a case if possible. ') hat is what lam paid for. Dettctivo Walker took possession of the axe on the same day that we visited Mrs Hamilton. He found It, I think, in the back yard, almost opposite the scullery door, standing up against the fence. Mr Pond chipped a piece off ihe handle of the axe near the head, in order, as I understand, to test whether there was blood upon it. That was after the post mortem examination. I took the axe to that examination, being told that if the doctors asked me for it I was to have it there. Dr. Goldsbro' asked me if I had the axe, and saying " Yes," I handed it to him. It w.s _iveu back to me, and an hour after waids Dr. Dawson took it and applied it to the hole in the skull. It was after this that 1 took the axe to Mr Pond. There were many places under Hamilton's house where the axe could have been safely hid. To Mr Earl: When I first saw Priestley I asked him if he could throw any light upon this mysterious death, or give any in formation respecting it. I did not say "Tell us what you kuow of this matter, and nothing mote will be heard of it." I h*ve made a mistake in saying that he told me he left Daune, Hall and Co.'s for Onehunga between 9 and 10 o'clock; it should be between 7 and 8 o'clock. I never said to anyone that if I could make out a ca%e against Priestley it would be the makins of me. • UJ cither was I active in giviog information to the press. 1 did not state the result of the post mortem examination to tho editor of tbe "Ob server."

Ke-exsmioed by the Crotvn Prosecutor : I marked with my knife the part of tbe bedstead against which Mrs Hamilton said her husbaud had fallen. The matting on the floor only came within two feet of the bedstead. When Dr. Dawson fitted tbe axe to the skull Dr. Goldsbro' was Utand iog with bis back to him washing his hands. ' Detective Walker deposed: On the 14th December last, I visited Mrs Hamilton's house in company with Detective Strat hearn. We saw Mrs Hamilton there, and she explained to mo the circumstances under which her husband came by bis death, She Baid that after he came home on the night of tbe 27th Novembar, he fell down in hi. bedroom and that hearing a groan, she went to his room, and found him lying on tbe bed witb bis feet on the floor; that she then returned to her own room for the lamp, and on coming out again sbe met her husband in tbe passage; that he caught hold of ber and said, "Take me to my tuis.u. : I must go home to-night;" that she assi-t.d him back to his bed, and seeing that blood was flow ing from his head, bathed it till four o'clock In tbe mornin<* I n«ktd bow long it was since her husband had slept with her, and she replied ah'tit three months. Having ascertained that she knew a man named Priestley, I enquired when"she had la.t seen him, and she said it was about 3 o'clock on the afternoon ot her husband's death, but that he only came to the back door. 1 asked ber how her hnsband was dressed when he tell. _ Sbe said he had trousers and sbirt on. I picked out a pair of trousers (produced), and sbe told me they were the ones I have care fully examined them, but find nothing. I fonnd the axe in the yard, standing lip near the well. To Mr Cooper: I have been a detactive officer for nine yoars.. I arrived in Auck land on the-sth ot December. I asked Mrs Hamilton where her night dress was, and a. she said it was washed, I did not trouble farther about it.

Joseph Cobine, a carter, employed by E. Potter and Co., deposed : I knew the de ceased, Hugh Hamilton. I saw him on the night of the 27th November at the meeting of No. 3 Orange Lodge, in the Protestant Hall, Nowton. Hamilton and I and a few others ltlt about five minutes past 10, reached the corner of Pit+-street five minutes later, and stopped talking there about a quarter of an hour. Then we went into O'Dowd's hotel,' where Hamilton had a long shandygaff and Ia; Ions; beer. We only remained there five minutes, and on coming outside we talked about half-an-hour. We parted at the corner about five minutes to 11, bacause. I reached my home in Alexandra-street at 11.10. Hamilton should have got home in five or seven minutes alter leaving mo, I did not notice any drink on him that night, and I know that from half-past 7 until five minutes to II he had only tho one drink—a long shandygaff. Drink is not admitted into the Lodge". He left me and went in the direc tion of home, carrying his books tied with tape in his hand. On hearing of his death next day, I called at his house about noon, and asked the female prisoner how the -ff-ir happened. She said that her husband had came home drunk the previous night, and that nftrr he went into fits bedroom -lie heard a fall which shock the house; that she went to see what was the matte, when she met him in the passage, and that he told her he had fallen against the bedstead, I asked her what time he came home, and she replied "between ono and two o'clock, as I heard it strike one before he came in." She also said that she tat up with him all night without a lamp, the night being fine and moonlit, She ssid that she was bathing his head, and at five ; o'clock she swooned off. I told her that' I left her husband at 11 o'clock quite sober, and that I considered it impossible that he could have been made drank between then and the time at which she raid he arrived home. I knew Hamilton for _i_r. years, and I have never seen him Under the influence of drink. To Mr Cooper: While passing the New. ten Hotel on our way to titt-street, Hamil ton put in h'.B head at tho door of the Newton Hotel and asked for a carter named White, but he was not there, and we passed on, When I called at Hamilton's house tbe next day, deceased's father, mother, and sister were there. The female Piisoner did not seem distressed. Detec tive Stiarhearn saw me on the 4th of De cember, when I repeated to him the con- Tersation I had with Mrs Hamilton. The deceased was about sft. llim high, and about 12 stone in weight. Robert Absalom Burgess, a surveyor residing in Upper Queen-street, deposed : '-I was in the York Hotel on the night of tbe 27th Nov. last. I left abont ten minutes to 12.

Messrs R. A. Burgess and W. H. Ripley also gave evidence as to being in Hamilton's company on tho fatal night; and Mr Davidson, of the York Hotel, was under examination when we went to press.

The patient is an elderly man gamed William Chandler, and ho is of opinion that, the diiease is tho result of a fall which he. _bs oained some time ago.
