I obtained the address from some of deceased's papers, and I forwarded the ad vertisement to Mr Leggett. I received a number of letters in answer to the advertise ment, nnd amongst other applications from the plaintiff-. [At this stage a number of letters were put in evidence which had been written by Mr Leggett in answer to the various claimants. In them lie referred to the meagreness of his information, Mr Staines's lengthy de lays in the matter, and his own surprise and annoyance that the business had not been settled long before. He, how ever, had nothing to do with it, as he had been merely requested to forward all com munications to Mr Staines in Kew,/ealancl. He would, however, forward? tteir last letters, and tell Mr Staines that lie thought his delay very awkward to all Wies con cerned. Mr Leggett also mentioned that Mr Staines had told him to.be sure and not give, as there might be parties wrongfully ap plying.] I was * then living in Norfolk House, Wellesley-street. Mr Leggett wrote me sending forms of application, and amongst others two from tho plaintiffs. I waited a considerable time to sco if any others would come in. The letters did not correspond with the will, inasmuch as there were four applications for three legacies, and the names wero not the same. 1 could not pay £600 out of _400 odd. I made no further inquiries, merely waiting for the ii-ht parties to come forward. The only applications I had were from an Eliza Hay ward, an Ann Hayward, a Mary Hayward, and>a George Pickett, not Pigott. Although Hayward had not been able to find his friends for 30 years (so he told me), yet on the very day the advertisement appeared they all turned up. I received an application from Mrßrookfield on behalf of these parties. Letters from Mr Brookfield to Mr Staines were then put in -evidence. Thoy ranged in date from July, 1870, to July, 1871. He informed Mr Staines that three sisters and a brother of John Hayward had requested him to make inquiries respecting their several legaces, Subsequently ono stated tlftt they appointed the writer their attorney to receive the same, and that thoy requested in formation re tho legacies, and demanded payment. Tho last one contained an ex pression of surprise that Mr Staines should havo informed the clerk that he refused to pay over the legacies ,due tho sisters, bosides threatening legal proceedings. In response to these letters, I did not go to Mr Brookfield's office to see these papers. I met him, however, and lie agreed to bring them to my house. Ho did not do so, however, but Mr Brassey did. At that tim» I saw Mr Brookfield every day, and he knew my mind thoroughly. Mr Hesketh at that time was acting for me; I paid him a re taining fee. lie was in communication with Mr Brookfield.—This closed tho wit ness's examination. —Ho was then told that he might make any statement he pleased.— He at once began to detail the steps he had taken to engage a solicitor, but was inter rupted, and told that all wanted was cvi- . dence bearing upon tho case.—Mr Staines : There has not been submitted for your perusal, your Honor, somo notes that ( I received from England. One thing is peculiar: the identification has entirely failed. — His Honor : That is a matter . for argument by-nnd-by. . We want now merely to get at the facts. Per haps the most convenient course will be for me to put some, questions to you. ' Well, these legacies, which aro said to bo four, to my mind are only threo, for tho money will not bear division into four sums of the amount stated.—His Honor: Woll, whom did you not pay ?—Witness: I did not know this Hayward nt Home, but he repeatedly talked about his frionds. Ho woulddropinveryoften,nndsitandchat. Ho spoke of having lived in Tooley-street, and beingaLondonman. Hefroquentlyasked me questions about the city. Whilst on his deathbed, he told me in tho presence of a M iWhite that lie was born in July, 1881 —I mean in 1801. He also told me that he had not heard of his friends since 1837, although he had written* to and advertised lor them, and ho was wanting mo to take the matter up for him shortly before he died. I have a New Testament of his (produced), containing the following ontry : " John - Hayward, lato of Freeman's Lano, Horsloy Down, Tooley-street, Southwark, London, England. Left tho above place, 1829, 7th August." I have here, too, a hymn book belonging to him, containing tho following writing : " John Hayward, Auckland, New Zealand, 19th Octobor, 1860." He was then attending the Edwardes-street Chapel, to which he loft a legacy of £10. I have heard him say that he went from Heme to Sydney, and that he used to trade in a sail ing vessel between Sydney *a*d tho Bay of Islands. He always spoko of having two sisters and a half-brother, and he mentioned them on his deathbed. He was intending to have got me to advertise for them, and I had to do so after all. Ho never spoko of his father or mother; and among all his papers thero was not a scrap of writing from any of his relatives. In all his papers his name never appeared otherwise than ns John Hayward, and he was asked especially when signing his if ho had any other name, as if no had and it was stated, it might give rise to trouble. He said that he had no other name. He left Homo when he was about 28 years of age, and I understood that ho was tho eldest of his family. He never intimated anything to me about the mar riage of his Bisters. It was so many years eince he had heard from them that he did not appear to know anything about them. Ho seemed to have heard nothing from them since 1837.—T0 Mr Cotter :He was ' known as Cheap John, and was very fond of children, always carrying about lollies for them. Ho was a kind-hearted man, and used to attend chapel.—Edwin Hesketh de . posed: lam a solicitor practising in Auck land, and was so doing in the year 1869. was one of the attesting witnesses to the will produced. I went down especially with it, in order to tako the signature. On my return homo, I made a note of all that occurred that night, and I havo it with me. Beginning with the portion descriptive ' of what occurred after, my arrival at the house it reads thus:— "I accordingly called on Dr. Leefat about 8 p.m. He accompanied me to Mr Staines's house in Wellesley-street, and I then went into the room Where Haywood lay in bed. lihnd seen the man before, andrhe seemed to recogniso me. Dr. Lee introduced me to him in the presence of Mr Staines. Dr. Leo then said that as Haywood knew his voice better than mine, he would read my will to him, which he did, previously telling Hay wood to listen attentively, which he did. Dr. Lee read the whole of the will, and Hay wood said it was quite correct, and he re peated this several times whilst it was being read to him. After Dr. Lee had finished I took the will, and I asked Haywood if he knew my name. He thought a moment, and said it was " Aker," or some such name. 1 told him what my name was. I then asked him if he knew who.l was. He said he hod seen me before. I then told him I was a solicitor, and that I had prepared this will at the request of Dr. Lee and Mr Staines, who had given me instructions this after noon to do it. He said he had instructed Dr. Lee to alter the will or have it altered. He then alluded to an operation which Dr. Philson was going to perform upon his shoulder on the morrow, and said he would not like it, as he was an old man, and he was afraid he could not stand it. At the samo time he asked Dr. Lee if he was obliged to undergo the operation if he him self did not wish it. Dr, Lee said, "No." I then told him to listen to me, and I would • explain carefully and minutely every por tion of the will. This I did, going through the legacies one by one, and drawing his attention particularly to the one to Mr Staines for £230, and repeating this to him, telling him also that in the other will Mr Staines only got £30. I did thesame with Mrs Staines's legacy for £100, telling him also thatin the other willshedid not getany thing. To all my explanations he assented, and said it was quite correct. I then ex plained very minutely tho latter portion ofthQ will referring to the lapsing legacies going to his sisters and half brother, and also that in case of the death ot all the legatees before his own death, ■that then everything he bad went to Mrand Mrs Staines. This, he said, was quite cor rect, and perfectly understood it. I then asked him if ho had any friends or relatives other than those in tho will. He said "No " I then asked him how long he had beenhere. He said "About three weeks. I asked him what day of the week it was, nnd he said "Sunday." I also asked hun when his accident (for he had fallen oil the wharf) occurred. Ho replied, "On the Ist September;" and ho again alluded to this operation and the pain ho was in I then asked him if he executed the will freely, and he said • "Yes for Mr and Mr3 Staines had been very kind to him." He was then raised in bed and supported with pillows, and he ad justed Ms spectacles which Mr Staines put on him. He took thg pen, and I laid ' the will before him (having satisfied myself that the man was sensible, and well aware of what he was doing, and also that, as far ns I could discover, no undua influence had been received) and told him where to sign .his name. Ho signed it after my telUng him that this wasthewdl which Dr, Leehad read to him, and which Ihad explained to - aim. I then asked him if that was his Will, and if he requested myself and Dr. Leo to witness it, to which he replied in the affirmative. I did bo, and so did Dr. Lee. I then sat down and talked to him again,

while Dr. Lee was attesting the will. He, Hayward, then repeated portions of his former conversation, and I asked him if he was satisfied with what he had done In his will, and whether ho did it of his own free will. Ho replied he was satisfied, and did it freely. After Dr. Lee had attested it, I asked Hayward what v should bo done with the will—should I keep it, or anyone else ; and on this question Deing put by Dr. Lee, Hayward said Mr Staines had better"keep it.—Edwin Hesketh."

I am not in the habit of taking notes such as this, but in this case I did, as I suspected undue influence. I see an alteration in the names mentioned in the will, but I cannot explain ■ it. There is a name struck out, but I did not strike it out. If I had, I would have initialled it and mentioned it in my attestation, for the altera tions from the previous will had aroused my suspicions. The ink with which the name is struck out appears to be the same as that used at the signing of the will, while the commas are marked with the same ink with which I drew up the will. I cannot say whether there were two or three legacies to sisters. When I went to the house that night, my mind was full of sus picions, but I found no ground for them. My intention had been after making the will, to go over to the house of tho Chief Justice, just opposite mine, but ho had gone out. One reason for my suspicions was that the alterations in the will, were made with pencil. I proved the will did not cor respond with my verbal instructions, and, to the best of my belief, I did nothing after that. I saw Mr Staines subsequently coming out of Mr Brookfield's office, but I do not know when it was. At this stage Mr Staines produced a bill from Mr Hesketh in October, 1871, for £4. The witness remarked that ho should say from this that he had been retained by Mr Staines. I feel sure, however, that I never went to Mr Brookfield's office to examine the papers connected with this claim. He asked me for information, but I could give him none. I handed himthenotesthat I have jifst read.—To Mr Staines :I do not re member you coming back to my office for a piece of tea paper containing writing by John Hayward that he had not heard from his relative since 1837. I swear positively that tho firßt time I saw this bill bearing tho alterations that I was to incorporate in the fresh will was on a Sunday after noon, when you nnd Dr. Lee drove in a cab to my house in Parnell, and the same night I cSlled with the amended will. Tho original will has not left my posses sion since., I don't believe I ever al tered this second will, for I remember you telling me when the applications arrived that the will only mentioned two sisters, and not three. That is the first time I heard it, and I went to the Supreme Court in order to see the name Ann. —On being adjured by the witness to be careful and not allow a slur to gp forth about tho alteration of the name, Mr Hesketh said that ho had been careful, and the very fact of his having madethojnotes, had prevented two different firms from suing the defendant.—Mr Staines claimed that Mr Hesketh had made the alteration in tho names on the night that the will was .signed.—He, Mr Hesketh, said that he had no recol lection of any such alteration, and his very caro in making it appear that there were three separate names in the will by the insertion of commas, persuaded them that if ho had subsequently altered it he ' would have made some record of the fact. The Registrar of the Court (H. W. Brewer) i having been sworn, produced the evidence which had been taken by commission in England at tho direction ot the Court.— Frederick William Brookfield, solicitor for tho plaintiffs, identified tho signaturo of Mr Gear, his agent in England, for taking the evidence. —Thero witnesses, he said, were still outsido tho jurisdiction of the Court.—The ovidenco taken by tho commis sion in England was then read.— A letter written by Hayward in 1840 to his father and mother in England was also rend, and His Honor directed Mr Staines' attention to the fact that the handwriting was very similar to that in the book pro; duced by Mr Staines.—Mr Staines ad mitted that thero was groat similarity. At this stage tho Court mado the usual luncheon adjournment. On resuming, evidence was called as to tho testator, John Hay ward's, personal ap pearance and habits, ote. Wm. Swanson, M.H.R., Dr. Leo, Jrb. Stichbury, Georgo Sibbin, Abol Barris, W. W. Jamieson (undertaker), wero oxaminod on this point.—Mr Cotter then opened his address upon the whole case. (Loft sitting.)

Telegrams have been received from Mr J. E. Redmond stating that ho arrived in Wellington yesterday, that ho will lecture there to-night and to-morrow evening, and that he will leave for Christchurch on Wednesday.

Mr Singleton Rochfort writes with reference to a former communication complaining of delay in the delivery of a letter from Wellington. He has found that the delay arose through the negligence of a gentleman who was entrusted with the letter to post, and not from any fault of the Postal Department in Wellington, as he at ono time suspected.

In a recent issue reference was made to an assault by two drunken-fellows on Mr Rountreo, master of the steamer Devonport, and the proprietor of the Hotel at Northcote. The police took the matter up, but after discovering the nerpetrators the assaulted individuals would not interfere, and consequently the police are powerless in the matter.

The telegram reporting Chief Justice Prendergast's departure for England on twelve months' leave of absence verifies the old adage about there being no smoke without fire. A month or two ago a report was current that the Chief Justice contem- Sated retiring, and would be succeeded Ev Mr Connofly. Of course, a denial came through the usual Ministerial agencies, S in return for a few scraps of ear y Tews father every evasion of the truth which Ministers think it desirable to circn llte There was "not a word of truth in i"'said this oracle. Well, it would seem «!_. thero was some truth in it— Se S Justice must at that tfme have been negotiating, for temporary relief from his official duties; and if the iSe hTnot been. extended into a per manent retirement, it maybe that Judge Prendergast's want of pliability, and notthe Sterfal wishes, is the reason ; or pos*^ blvtMs twelve months' tenure of the S „J? Wvnis merely to relieve his sue fe™m t_ 3 of the Disqualifi .vvn Act Who knows?
